Letter Records Gain for Womer
A precedent-shattering step—ap- pointing a woman to the Kansas board of regents—was recorded in a letter given Watson library this summer by Dr. Cora M. Downs, professor of bacteriology.
Dr. Downs turned over to the library the original of a letter sent in the city to St. John to Dr. Downs grandmother, Mrs. Cora M. Downs of Wyandotte.
Gov. St. John wrote: "Several months ago I had some correspondence with you in relation to the propriety of appointing a woman as regent of the state university. I intended then to tender you such an appointment, but a combination of circumstances occurred first at that time which compelled me to change my plans temporarily.
"There is now a vacancy created by the resignation of Rev. Mr. Nesbit of Leavenworth, and I have thebit to tender to you the appointment of Regents of the State University? (I?" you do, you will be the first woman in the history of Kansas to hold such an appointment.
"I have long been of the opinion that, all of our State institutions where females are educated or cared for, should have, a woman as a member of each of the boards representing such institutions.

Student Activities Set For TCU Game
The first of the athletic listening parties of 1953-54 will be Saturday night in the student union.
Prior to the broadcast of the KU-TCU grid game, which will be piped over the public address system in the Union in all but the music room, a rally will be held in front of the Union, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Following the game a record dance will be held in the main ballroom.
The listening parties began last year during the Jayhawkers' hectic race for the Big Seven basketball title. Bill Means, business senior, and acting chairman of the listening committee of the Student Union Activities committee, did another party of this type is planned for next Saturday night when Kansas goes to Los Angeles to play UCLA.
"This policy no doubt, at first, will be—while it receives the endorsement of some—by many, severely criticized yet I believe it is right, and if right, Kansas can afford to adopt it. At all events I am willing to take the initiation steps."
KU had been coeducational since its beginning in 1866, when it was the third state university to admit women.

Kansas communities interested in starting recreation programs or expanding present programs may consult a new University service, the Recreation Consultant Service, directed by Larry Heeb, former recreation superintendent in Lawrence and at Mason City, Iowa.
Recreation Consultant Unit Begins Work at University
"Any community interested in the advancement of public recreation may request our services." Mr. Heeb said. "We will be happy to go out to communities to discuss their problems and will make surveys to determine how large a program is needed."
The surveys may take only one day or as long as a week, Mr. Heeb said, depending on the size of the town and the type of program they are interested in. A small community may desire to start a youth center, while a large city may wish to hire a full-time director for their recreation program. The information collected in the surveys will be
kept on file in the consultant's office and will benefit communities with situations similar to those surveyed. The files also will be consulted for state-wide statistics pertaining to recreation programs.
"There are 36 communities in Kansas which have tax-supported recreation programs," Mr. Heeb said. "In order to initiate a tax-supported program, citizens must first petition a school district or city government or both to have a referendum conducted. The issue then is put to a vote in a public election.
"The new service has many implications." Mr. Heeb said, adding that he was working with representatives from the National Recreation association.
After a physical examination of all New York City's police recently, it was announced that only 19 out of the 19,000 of them had flat feet.
