Baseball Is Fun To See Scoring The Game-Never!
By KAREN HILMER Kansan Society Editor
Versatility is one of the marks of a good journalist—and try to be versatile we did, but soon realized in the middle of the 7th inning of the second game played by Kansas and Oklahoma when Kansas was leading by the slim margin of 4-3 with Oklahoma threatening to tie the ballgame and sweep the series, that our calling was elsewhere. We were stymied.
It is true and is most widely accepted that women are equal to the stronger element of homosapiens in all fields, but when it comes to scoring a baseball game—we resolutely and unrelentingly give up! We being the women of the William Allen White School of Journalism.
A score sheet and the line-ups were given to us—what to do with them. They looked like a lot of little boxes thrown together with diamonds in each. The men in journalism—future sports writers, looked very smug as they calmly began to score the runs, errors, singles, doubles, triples, stolen bases, and the new home runs. We were panic stricken as we realized that the first inning was half over before we began to score.
It was one continual volley of questions after another, such as "Who's up at bat now?" What is a run?" and "What happened to the last batter?" or "Why are they changing sides."
The men journalists who were quite conscientiously watching and scoring the game were patient for the awhile 20 quests but after awhile they refused to answer any more female questions—we were on our own.
The game was fine, the weather was great for getting a sun tan so we settled back on those "soft" seets provided at such games—we were going to excel by writing the greatest baseball story the University Daily Kansan sports page has ever printed—that is until the ROTC units began their skirmish on the Campanile hill in the middle of the seventh inning. The blank shots began to resound through the air, the foul balls began to zoom back to the bleachers—life is too short—we decided to settle down to a nice quiet journalistic life of society and politics with a little bit of editorializing on the side. We left to see the* ROTC units perform, leaving the scoring of the game to the Kansan sports editor and his assistant.
cruse of the gentler sex who cannot see the humor in this article please score a baseball game sometime and write a story on it using all of the worn lingo peculiar to sports writing. And there was light!
Authors Forecast More Mixed Clubs
New York—(U.P.)—Men eventually will join women's clubs, and vice versa, say the authors of a new book for and about the nation's 10,000,-000 clubwomen.
Helen M. Avery, a Glendale, O., clutwoman, and Frank W. Nye, a Manhattan advertising executive say it is their "strong conviction that many of the present organizations for men only and for women only, if they survive, will remove the sex bars."
They indicate that the need for strong feminist movements no longer is necessary.
"As the world advances, as the notion of inferiority of the woman is outgrown, as the rights of women approach par, there is less and less need for women to organize separately for their own protection," they say. "And the tendency grows for the still sharp sex line between organizations to fade out."

PRESSED . . . AND CLEANED
By John Barber
Spring formulas are nice, but remember one thing.
It will cost you more than a dollar To have the dry-cleaners remove the lip-stick
That's left on your jacket's white collar!
So guard it with caution, and keep her away.
Though she may be "made-up" and scented.
For a tux with a smudge of lip-stick is bad
Especially if it was rented!
Picnic sandwiches will stay fresh longer if after wrapping them you seal the edges of the wax paper with a hot iron.
