Athletics Called Amusement
Competitive athletics have become nothing more than amusement for the public, Dr. Harry Scott, professor of physical education and health at Columbia University, told students and faculty members of the School of Education yesterday.
He said the public doesn't understand that physical education, including athletics, is an integral part of general education. "They just see it as winning or losing," he said.
Rather than depending upon the public for financing, Dr. Scott said that competitive athletics should be supported by appropriated funds. As it is now, "we're commercializing," he said.
Another defect in the present system, he said, is that it permits gifted students to bypass basic experiences for the specialized position of a T-quarterback or a basketball center.
Dr. Scott said that athletic scholarships should be no different than other scholarships and should be based on need and competence, not on athletic ability.
"We're going to have athletics despite what anyone says," he said, and whether it's good or bad depends upon our teachers. "Athletics can be bad if teachers cannot cope with problems arising from them."
Extension Library Has 3,000 Films
"A library of films" describes University Extension's bureau of visual instruction. The film library contains more than 3,000 different titles. Most of them have several copies.
Last year, more than 100 University instructors used films as an aid to instruction. Kansas grade and high schools used more than 17,000 films.
T. Howard Walker, extension director, said the source is greater than the films on hand.
"Through the bureau's interchange arrangements," he said, "films are rented from hundreds of other libraries throughout the country."

They Were 'Contrails'
The white trails you saw over the campus yesterday noon were not made by skywriters forming the Greek letter Phi, as many of you believed. They were condensation trails left by B-47's from Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka, according to Capt. Arthur W. Gilliam Jr., assistant professor of air science.
The planes were flying routine training missinos, Capt. Gilliam said. The "contrails," as they are called, are caused by temperature differences between the outside air and the exhaust gases of the jet engines, he explained. Moisture in these exhaust gases actually forms little clouds, which are the white trails.
The jets were not doing anything unusual yesterday, he explained. We noticed them because of the weather conditions at the altitudes at which they were flying.

A physicians' course in the clinical applications of radioactive isotopes began today at the University.
The first two-day session will be followed by eight others over 16 weeks, according to the program planned by the School of Medicine, the department of radiation biophysics, University Extension, and Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka.
The clinic is for the physician who is unable to leave his patients and clinical responsibilities for a long period. Instruction and laboratory classes will be alternated between the University radioactive isotope research laboratory and Stormont-Vail Hospital.
In Topeka, classes will include clinical sessions with patients and the interpretation of clinical data in the department of radiology.
Dr. Frank Hoecker, chairman of the department of radiation biophysics, said the classes in Lawrence will include the physics of radioactive isotopes, the interaction between radiation and matter, and laboratory techniques in measurement of radiation and radioactive isotones.
