WILTON THE WILDCAT KILLER
(Drawing by Bob Sweet)
'Pressure On KU'
"We're in the driver's seat now. It's going to be up to KU." This was semi-confident Tex Winter telling his view of the game between his Kansas State Wildcats and KU which takes place this evening.
Winter in an interview with the Daily Kansan Sunday night said he felt the "pressure" was on KU, not on K-State. He said he felt they could lose tonight's game and still win at Manhattan and take the Big Eight crown.
Someone in the room yelled "Lets beat those cotton-picking Jayhawkers." This seemed to be the slogan of the hour.
The Wildcats aren't planning on a loss when they meet the Jayhawkers in the 135th meeting of the two clubs. After whipping Colorado 83-54 Saturday night, the thoughts of the K-State players immediately shifted to Lawrence.
The Nation Watches
The eyes of the nation will be focused on Lawrence tonight as these Sunflower powers square off in one of the hottest rivalries any basketball court has known. There seems little doubt that the Big Eight championship will go to one of these two Kansas schools. With the Big Eight crown will go a chance at the NCAA title in March.
Tickets for the clash have been sold out for months. Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita stations will televise the game. Three radio networks and three independent stations will broadcast the game.
Winter said K-State was good enough to beat KU, providing the Wildcats had "a good night."
K-State in "Good Condition"
He said the members of the team were in good condition and that they played the best game of their season against Colorado Saturday night.
The squad arrived in Lawrence Sunday afternoon, had a short workout at Allen Field House and
spent the evening resting. They were to workout again this morning.
Winter indicated he wouldn't concentrate on KU's Wilt Chamberlain. "I have a little more respect for the rest of the KU team than some of the other schools do." Winter said.
Jayhawker coach Dick Harp said he felt the K-State team they face tonight will be a lot tougher than the squad they met in Kansas City. This is due to the fact that both Bob Boozer and Hayden Abbott are expected to be at full strength. They were both sick in December when KU downed K-State, 79-65.
94 Use Fake Early Enrollment Permits
Home Games Will Require Both ID's
Both the fall semester identification card and the temporary identification card which were given out at enrollment must be presented for admission to basketball games until fees are paid later in February.
Officials of the ticket office at Allen Field House said this week that no student will be admitted to home basketball games without presenting both identification cards
This ruling will effect admission to the Kansas State College, Nebraska University and Iowa State College games.
String Festival To Draw 350
Approximately 350 players of string instruments from 16 eastern Kansas high schools are expected to attend the first annual KU String Festival Feb. 10, according to Robert Baustian, associate professor of orchestra and director of the symphony orchestra.
Following a day of rehearsal, guided tours of the new Music and Dramatic Arts Building and a public concert by the string orchestra, the visiting musicians and their supervisors will be guests for the evening Concert Course appearance of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
Prof. Baustian said instrumentalists would attend from Shawnee Mission High, Merriam, Wvandotte, Argentine and Rosedale Highs in Kansas City; Highland Park at Topeka; Lawrence, Fort Scott, Ottawa, Winfield, Coffeeville, Chanute, Pittsburg, Iola, Neodesha, Altamont, El Dorado and tentatively Emporia.
The hour-long public concert at 4-p.m. in Hoch Auditorium will feature string orchestra music by Bocherini, Mozart, Handel, Corelli, Grieg, Mascagni, and the world premiere of Sarabande for Strings by Roy Hamlin Johnson, assistant professor of piano.
Not In Good Standing Until They Explain
By LEE LORD (Daily Kansan City Editor)
Ninety-four students have had their enrollments canceled for using false copies of early enrollment permits.
Girl Cage Star Upsets Latham
The false permits were discovered Thursday, the first day of enrollment, by one of the students stationed in the enrollment line to check early permits.
LATHAM — (UF) — The principal of Latham High School Sunday accused the school board of holding him prisoner in his office and threatening him with violence in an argument over the eligibility of a pretty basketball player.
Harry A. Moore, 62, principal of the 19-pupil school at Latham, southwest of Augusta in the Flint Hills, had declared 16-year-old Rosalie Blankenbaker ineligible to play on Latham High School's undefeated girl's basketball team.
Tom Starkey, who referred to himself as the director of the school board, said a meeting was held Friday night to "make some decisions" aimed at eliminating "constant unrest."
Saturday night Moore sought hospitalization in Wichita, saving he was suffering from "shock" as a result of the meeting. He said he was threatened at one point during the Friday night meeting when he "tried to start for the door."
Moore said he had sent complaints to the state board of education and the credit rating suspension of the high school had been sent in an official letter from the state board.
Weather
Fair and not so cold tonight. Partly cloudy Tuesday with a turn to colder northwest and and north-central portions. Low tonight 10 to 15 northeast to 20s elsewhere. High Tuesday 30 to 40 north and 40 to 50 south.
To Conduct Faculty Survey
By BOB HARTLEY (Assistant Managing Editor of The Daily Kansan)
A faculty committee this week will begin a survey of faculty members and administrators concerning replacement of the present faculty retirement plan.
The committee member said several persons interested in a new plan feel that the present plan, called the Regents' Proposal, is not sufficient to meet the increasing cost of living and the devaluation of the dollar.
In an interview Saturday with The Daily Kansan, a member of the committee, from the local chapter of the American Assn. of University Professors, told of a plan to get popular approval of a new retirement program.
He said that "about four years have gone into this study," and the new plan is ready to be presented to the faculty. The company offering the plan is the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Assn.
The committee spokesman said that a questionnaire asking four questions concerning the new plan will be given to each faculty member. Some members will also make appearances before faculty groups during the week.
"If the plan is approved, the results will be presented to the local chapter of the AAUP," he said, "Then the AAUP will present it to the persons who will consider effecting the plan."
K-State Considered Plan
He said that Kansas State College recently concluded a study similar to this one. The proposals, which coincide on several points with KU's, were printed and will accompany the KU questionnaire. Also an explanation of the plan used in Iowa will be given to the faculty for study.
"One of the advantages of the
TIAA plan is the increase in retirement payment that a person can receive," he said.
Retirement Income Boost
Under the present plan the maximum a faculty member can receive as an annual retirement payment is $2,782 a year. Under the TIAA plan the retirement income for a person in the middle income bracket is 50 per cent of his highest annua income, he said.
He said the biggest difference in the plans is the amount of contribution. Under the present plan the faculty member pays only his Social Security, which must be paid anyway. Under the TIAA plan he must pay an additional five per cent of his salary.
"We realize that many questions will enter the minds of faculty and administration, and we hope they will contact the committee or write us so that we can explain the-plan more fully," he said.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students said the fake permits were printed by some offset method from counterfeit plates.
The guilty students have been notified by mail that their enrollments have been canceled and they must write a letter to Dean Woodruff, explaining their part in and connection with the violation.
Must See Dean Woodruff
Students who write the letter will have a personal interview with Dean Woodruff today or Tuesday before they are permitted to enroll.
These students are not in good standing until they are re-enrolled Tuesday. They will not be able to use their ID cards to attend the game tonight.
Tuesday will be the first day they will be permitted to enroll for classes and they will be charged $5 for late enrollment.
Permits Pieced Together
The students will not be permitted to enroll until the explanatory letter has been received by the dean of students office and the Disciplinary Committee acts on the letters.
Ordinarily when a student presents an early permit, the checker admits the student and rips the permit in half and throws it into a wastepaper basket. When the fake permits were discovered all the wastepaper baskets were emptied and permits were pieced together.
Dean Woodruff, interviewed Sunday tonight, said, "we have reason to believe there were more permits circulated which were not used when students heard that the fake permits were discovered and thought better of using theirs."
No other action besides late enrollment has been considered for the offenders.
