University Daily Kansan Thursday, Nov. 19. 1953 Fight! I-State, Oregon Spirit Condemned Across the nation this week, there was news of love and marriage discussions at the University of Nebraska, an enlargement of the football stadium at the University of Cincinnati was planned, cartoons by Dick Bibler sold well at the University of West Virginia, and school spirit was not what it might be at Iowa State college and the University of Oregon. "Sandwich" men at Kansas State college and an injured halfback at the University of Colorado also made headlines. NEBRASKA—A panel discussion, second in a series of 12, was held this week at the University of Nebraska to consider "Love: adult or adolescent, which is yours?" Appropriately, the love and marriage discussions are being held in Love library. CINCINNATI—A proposal for increasing the seating accommodations of Nippert stadium has been announced at the University of Cincinnati. An increase of 5,000 seats is being planned, bringing the stadium capacity to 30,000. University officials said the school hopes to become a member of a major conference in the near future by attempting to schedule "name" teams in order to break into "big time" football. WEST VIRGINIA—"Pogo Papers," fourth in the series, is the current best seller at the University of West Virginia's student bookstore, but "Little Man on the Campus," a collection of cartoons by Dick Bibler, KU fine arts graduate of 1950, is a close second. IOWA STATE—An editorial in the Iowa State Daily deplored the small size of the crowd which sent the football team off to last Saturday's game against the Oklahoma at Norman. A wife of one of the coaches, the father of one of the gridders, two coeds who kissed their heroes goodbye, and a few other supporters were present for the send-off. Deciding someone should have planned a rally, the editorial concluded, "Perhaps Iowa State is bored with football. Perhaps the memory of a tremendous upset over Missouri is forgotten." OREGON STATE—Guy Stover, head of the campus police at Oregon State college, last week had to wear a prisoner's striped shirt and carry a ball and chain as he broke up a large rock on the campus, but it was only a part of the United Campus fund drive. COLORADO—Was back Homer Jenkins forced to play football with a cracked bone in his ankle? That's been a big question at the University of Colorado, but team physician G. O. Griffin said Jenkins' injury was suffered in the KU game, and not in the earlier Washington game. Prior to the KU game, Jenkins was suffering only from shin splints. KANSAS STATE—Sandwich men Bill Duckworth and Darrel Lowell have a rushing business at Kansas State college. Between 9 and 10:30 p.m. on weekdays, they visit fraternity and sorority houses to sell ham sandwiches, ice cream bars, and milk. The salesmen consider it's an even match between men and women when it comes to eating. OREGON—School spirit was a problem at the University of Oregon. An editorial in the Oregon Daily Emerald said spirit had been "conspicuous by its absence," and offered the following reasons: "College students are too sophisticated to get in there and yell for the team, no one has any time to turn out for rallies, Oregon students are free thinkers, and, as such, refuse to cheer, and Oregon hasn't been a winning football team." He has not, since taking office, exerted all his power as the leader of the Republican party. This is not to say that he is being pushed around by party members. Quite to the contrary, he just refrains from playing politics unless pressured into it. One Man's Opinion It is becoming more and more evident that President Eisenhower is not, and does not want to be a politician. To keep things running smoothly a President should not only be a man of outstanding qualities and abilities, but also know his way around in politics. Perhaps his reason for acting in this manner is a lack of understanding he is supposed to play as party leader. This viewpoint would seem to be upheld by the squabble last week over whether or not he would openly campaign for Republican candidates. First he stated that he did not intend to enter into individual campaigns. Then, after considerable pressure from party members, he said he would deliver general campaign speeches before elections. Finally, in a press conference, he said he would like to see all Republicans win. Many Republicans howled with glee at this statement, because by blanket endorsements the President would relinquish one of his strongest powers over the party, that of being able to extend or withhold an endorsement for a return of support from the candidate. Another danger in this statement is that all Republican candidates aren't, by definition, good office material. By a blanket endorsement the President might be lending his name to the campaigns of some undeserving individuals. President Eisenhower would like to stick to his principles and not pay petitions, but he can do that and still fight against his opponents in both parties. He is going to have to learn and probably play politics, to control the Republican party and carry through the policies of his administration. —Don Tice.

News-Ed. Adviser Calder M. Pickett State Democrats to Gather In Kansas City Tomorrow This year both parties have been bogged down in factional disputes. These meetings are planned to strengthen machines and to patch up disputes among delegates. The thing the Democrats want now, more than anything else, is a person to rally around as a candidate for governor. If they can pick their nominee early they will have more time to campaign. The meeting will be another o. those political affairs that serve as sounding boards for state politicians, that bring in money for campaigns, and where some important decisions are made. Meeting almost a week later than their Republican rivals, the Kansas Democrats will gather in Kansas City, Kansas, tomorrow. The Democrats think they profit from GOP mistakes made at their party meeting and for this reason meet later than the Republicans. One of the most likely Democratic candidates for governor this year is federal revenue director Lynn Brodrick. He should be far out in front of any opposition candidates They will be able to point out Republican failures in the drouth program, market slumps, spending on government levels, and the high cost of living. because of a substantial following in the state. There is just one problem. Brodrick may not want the nomination. If he accepts, it will be a gamble for him and it may not be worth it. Brodrick is almost eligible for federal retirement. Under the Hatch act, he can't become involved in political affairs as long as he is on the federal pay roll. It will be up to the party leaders to convince him the risk will be worth it. Brodrick is a strong contender mainly because he has the backing of Kenneth Anderson, national committeeman and 1950 nominee for governor. Others mentioned for the nomination include Evan Griffith, Manhattan banker; Floyd Breeding, 1950 nominee for heutenant governor; Sen. Joe McDowell, Wyondotte; Robert S. Lemon, Pittsburg, and Henry D. Parkinson, Scott City. There will be plenty of compromising before any candidate is named, however, but Democrats will want their candidate as soon as possible. No university would be complete without at least one absent-minded professor. This actually happened: A KU prof, desiring a pack of cigarettes, inserted his quarter into the juke box at the Hawk's Nest. Short Ones While cheerleaders were urging the Big Red team (little pink would be more appropriate this fall) to "hold that line" Saturday, one disgruntled Jayhawker changed the chant to "hold what line?" We see where 15 Oklahoma players have been stricken with the flu. Too bad that couldn't have happened last month when the Jays invaded Norman. Might have held 'em to 44 points. "The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial" played before a big crowd at K-State the other night. With so many ag students enrolled at the "dairy on the prairie" it's surprising that such a high class drama could be seen and understood by so many puddy tats. Leonardo da Vinci, the rloretine renaissance inventor and artist, developed plans for an underwater warship but kept them secret. He was afraid it would make war even more frightful than it already was. There are more than seven million items used in the construction of a modern submarine, according to Electric Boat, Division of General Dynamics Corporation, largest private submarine builders in the United States. The hamburger was invented by South Germans waiting at the port of Hamburg for ships to America. Although the sandwich was named in honor of the city, it was not popularized until it emigrated to the United States. The number of visitors to Berlin from foreign countries continues to rise steadily, having increased three-fold since 1950. Hotels report 385,530 overnight reservations for the past six months with longer visits.
