Dear Rey: I overheard a conversation the other day that parking violations by the students increased due to the fact that the Men's Student Council or the group that assessed the fines meets so seldom that many students ignore the park- ing violation summons until they pile up in great numbers and then find that the sum total of the fines is staggering. I em passing on a suggestion that occurred to me which - might have a salutary effect on the enforcement of parking regulations. Would it be feasible for the Student Council and the W.5.G.A., or the people who run the thing, to appoint a student police court and have them meet at least onee a week or more often? I do not know how strong student goverment is holding up but if these cases could be heard more often than once a month I believe the students would take the thing more seriously and they would have more respect for the enforsce- ment of the regulation than at present. I am sure that there is great resentment even though the violator is sub- ject to disciplinary action by the Student Council. Perhaps I have no business offering this suggestion, but a thought occurred to me that might be constructive. Sincerely yours, December 26, 1941.

COPY DODGE CITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Decenber 15, 1941 Chancellor Deane W. Malott, University of Kansas, ! Lawrence, — Dear Mr. Malott: | The Srd Annual Basketball Clinic sponsored by the Dodge City Senior High Sehool closed last Friday. It undoubtedly was one of the most successful that we have ever held. I think, too, that it probably was the best clinic that has been held in the State of Kansas. PN s rggge Ragged © glo ~ tha har Gong osc that wore used in advertising the clinic. You will notice that we have given Mr. Allen and his varsity pleyers the outstanding spot on the handbill. We had thirtyefour basketball teams entered in this clinic. We had at least ‘twelve teams that came as far as eighty-five miles. We had two teams entered that came from over one hundred miles to be in this elinic. ven though the weather was bad, we did not have a single team fail to show up. After the clinic was over I had any nunber of men express to me their apprec- iation of being bhle to take part in such a clinic. Not being a coach it's had for you and I to understand how important an opportunity to sit with Phog Allen and receive his constructive —, while the coach's tean is playing, is to a conch. | In the thirteen years that I have been im Dodge City this is the first tine that a major college has ever made it possible for members of their basket~- ball squad to appear before players and coaches of this section. Mr. Allen and his players put on a demonstration Friday afternoon from 3140 until about 5 o'clock, and I think that everyone of the four hundred fifty players that were in the clinic was there. Friday evening Dodge City played — Emporia and at the half Mr. Allen and his players put on snother twenty-five minute demonstration. Once again to my surprise everyone of those four hundred fifty players that entered the clinic was present. eee eBay wret wreck ot ‘wun Palka whe sane to oe the wnrelty players.

Dear Mr. Nichols: p We are not complaining about not being able to use Hoch Auditorium for our basketball practice today, but I just wanted you to know what an insurmountable task it is for every- body concerned. With convocation tomorrow, and Dean Swarthout wanting to rehearse his choir this afternoon, it seemed almost impossible to get the goals down and the bleachers taken care of at the proper time. So we called off our practice there. On Thursday night of this week the Orchestra Concert, with Mrs. Bauman, will occupy the auditorium. For years we have had these days each week for basket- ball practice - Monday, Thursday, Friday, from 5:30 to 5:50 or later. If you are going to assign dates to the various organi- zations why could they not be arranged for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday? It seems to me that would simplify matters con- siderably, because when we practice it is necessary that the chairs be removed and the goals be put up. Of course we would like to be consulted about the dates because it might be vital to us for the shaping of our team for scheduled games. We were happy to cooperate with Dean Lawson and Dean Swarthout in the use of the auditorium for Tuesday, and as soon as we determined the arrangements we called Dean Swarthout be- cause the glee club had shunted him out of some other place. However, Friday will be the only day this week that we will be able to use the auditorium. | | The hang-nail of the whole situation is that when they have a concert there the goals have to be removed and that necessitates extra time and lebor. We never object to "singing" when their goals are up. This is just for your information. Sincerely yours, Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.

I recognize that any dual use of the Auditorium inevitably results in inconven= lence to one party or the other. I shall endeavor to minimize the. disruptions for the remainder of the basketball season. I suppose that some conflicts and in- conveniences are inevitable in the use of the Aaditorium. I wonder, though, if we cannot mini- mize them next year if you and Dean Swarthout will sit down across the table from one another next spring, and work out together a policy more work- able than the one we are now operating under. I think we can improve the situation considerably if we spend a little thought on the schedules of the two activities, and I shall be glad to contribute what I can.

Allen 105 Robinson Campus My dear Dr. Allen: In view of the fact that both a con- vocation and a lecture are scheduled for Hoch Auditorium on Thursday of this week, it seems wise to cancel the standing reservation made earlier for basketball practice on Thursday afternoon. I am sorry to disrupt your practice schedule, but it seems foolish to meke two com plete shifts of seats and goals in one day. Under date of August 28, Miss Hosford sent you a list of events scheduled for Hoch Auditorium which conflict with your basketball practice schedule. The one listed for Nov. 13 is not a conflict; after all, since the Orchestra fehearsal is scheduled for the evening, rather than the afternoon.

Corel] Training Commando Men Students Using an Obstacle | Course Called Hardest - In the Country Special to THz NEw YorK TIMES. ITHACA, N. Y., Oct. 10—Leap- | ing, crawling, bending, running, climbing, vaulting, jumping, hurd- \ling, and falling, Cornell students | |began this week to use the new| 550-yard obstacle course that is| part of the compulsory physical | |training program for all male| | undergraduates. | When organization of the pro-| |gram is completed in a few days, | lit is estimated by Robert J. Kane, lacting director of athletics, that ‘4,000 students will be put through the commando course every week. | In the opinion of military and ci- vilian officials who have seen the layout, the Cornell course is one of the best yet constructed in or out of military training camps in the country. It is longer than the best one now in use to toughen , marines, they said. Taking the obstacles as they) come, first are three hurdles each 2% feet high and 15 feet apart, | then a fourth hurdle, 4 feet high, to be vaulted, then a leap-frog over upright logs 55 inches from the} ground, then a 15-foot ladder climb, followed by balancing on a | “floating” log, 25 feet long, which | is suspended by chains, then an-| other 4-foot vault over a log. In quick order come side-step-| ping exercises between more short- length logs, running up and down | three inverted-V platforms five! feet high, climbing across horizon- | tal ladders 20 feet long and eight feet high, then up and down an- other V platform, two more high hurdles, and then scaling an '8142- foot wall. Falls Bring Dunking The water jump, an 8-foot leap, comes next, followed by the 15-foot parallel bars which must be crossed hand over hand with el- bows stiff. Below are tanks of water if one should slip. The stu- dent then goes up a slanting ladder 12 feet, and down, shinny fashion, on 20-foot long metal pipes. After that, he crawls through a four- section pen for 40 feet, where the corners are sharp, and finally takes a four-foot hurdle on the run. Located high on Kite Hill, back of Schoelkopf Stadium where foot- | ball games are played, the course |has 27 different obstacles of vary- ling degrees of difficulty.. It is, ‘tough on the softies, but in time | they will be able to keep up with their better-developed brothers, says Georges Cointe, instructor in| physical education and coach of fcacing, who is in charge of the) commando program, He built into the course, there- fore, obstacles that would develop’ the hands, legs, arms, and shoul-. ders, promote balance, improve co- o¥dination between eyes and legs and hands, and obstacles to help students judge distances and over- come mental hazards. Special safety features were in- _corporated throughout the course. All logs are peeled and are of cor- rect heights for jumping or vault- ling. Rungs of ladders are designed |for use either by hands or arms and can be climbed through if a student cannot reach the top. Logs are shaved in strategic places, so that if the “commando” slips he will fall, but will not ruin his knees. Classes range in size from thirty or forty to as many as 220 students at one time, and every hour, from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M., a different group appears daily. f the Midwest. Shortening and in- |tensifying of course will ‘make’ it | possible for the classes to be graduated from four to twelve months ahead of schedule. POMONA—Physical Fitness Effective Dec. 1 all Pomona Col- lege men will be required to pass an agility-obstacle course test to determine their physical fitness | under standards set up by the mili- tary services.. Those who fail will be required to attend physical fit- ness classes, according to Eugene W.

KALLGREN, | Chairman Faculty Military Affairs . Committee, Colgate University When the students of Colgate University, a liberal arts college with a wartime enrollment of 875 | men, petitioned on Oct. 28 for a compulsory ten = hour - a - week “toughening up” program of mili- tary drill and-accelerated physical ‘conditioning work, they took a long step toward refuting the charge that college students were complacent regarding the war effort. And the inquiries received since the program was adopted in- dicate that the desire of college men to start serious preparation for their military service before they leave the campus is nation- wide. Meaiwiils the. Colgate program has brought greater results than anticipated. Morale is high, not only because the students now have a sense of active participation in the war effort, but also because military officials say that consci- entious training under the program will enhance the students’ chances for advancement after they get into active service. Health has also improved, according to the students, thanks to the earlier ris- ing, increased exercise and more regular eating and sleeping de- manded or encouraged by the pro- 'gram. Classwork in turn has ben- efited. Program Is Broad As proposed by the students, the “toughening up’ includes one hour of military drill every morn- ing before classes, Monday through Friday, and an hour.of intensive physical conditioning work every afternoon. To put teeth in the com- pulsory status of the program, four demerits are charged for each absence and demerits not made up within a week count as regular class absences with the usual nez- ative effect on grades, credits and eligibility for scholarship. [ peeadtited problems for the admin- teachers. To clear the way for mili- tary drill between 7:15 and 8:15 each morning, for instance, it was necessary to start classes at 9 in- stead of 8, cut the period between classes to five minutes and extend the morning schedule to 12:35. Th rged physical condition- ing pri also meant a heavier ‘tload for the physical education already short-handed —be- a of four war-related losses. Objectives Set When the program was ready for inauguration on Armistice Day | following nearly two weeks of con- 'ferences and no small amount of over-time work, it promised to do dents with the rudiments of drill, bayonet and similar work and thus pave the way for their early rec- _ Putting the program into effect | istration and sacrifices for the|~* | Army officer who was present and four things—familiarize the stu- | Dr. Carl A.
