Sportsmanship Urged For Colorado Game
Students from the University of Colorado will make the 600-mile trek from Boulder to Lawrence this weekend to lend moral support to their team's battle with the Jayhawkers Saturday.
A letter from the student council representative of Colorado has notified, or warned, us of the arrival of "the bulk of this school's student body" for the game this weekend.
student body for the mass migration" is made annually to one of the opponents on Colorado's schedule. This year, these students believe wholeheartedly they are boosting a Big 7 champ, and perhaps a national grid power.
KU students, with considerable logic behind their argument,
KU students, with considerable logic behind their argument, have the same idea about the Jayhawker team.
It seems possible that feeling will be running high over the weekend, and we sincerely hope consideration of man for fellow man will prevail.
Jack Carberry, sports editor of the Denver Post said that Colorado players weren't the least satisfied with the Oklahoma tie as "great tears flowed down frustrated cheeks in the dressing room afterwards."
That worthy and much respected writer emphasized that it was better for the Buffs that the Sooners had gained a tie. There was no chance for cockiness to set in—and the club is "way up for Kansas."
We on the Daily Kansan believe KU will take the huff and puff out of the Buffs but win, lose, or draw, let's all be good sports. A good way is to follow the examples of those guys on the playing field. Den Sutton

Connecticut Situation Poses Big Question
Connecticut—wrapped in its New England tradition—is another big question mark for 1952.
Democratic since 1936, the Nutmeg state elected Republican John Davis Lodge to the governorship over incumbent Chester Bowles in 1950. ___
The former OPA administrator had been elected in 1948, and in 1949 he appointed his former advertising agency partner, William Benton, to fill a Senate vacancy.
Both Gov. Bowles and Sen. Benton were up for re-election in 1950, the governor losing, and the senator squeezing through by a bare 1,162 vote plurality.
In the 1948 presidential election, the Republicans edged out the Democrats as another indication they might be taking over in the state.
This year both senatorial seats are at stake. Sen, Benton will oppose Hartford industrialist William Purtell, a newcomer to the political circle, and a banker, Prescott Bush, will run on the Republican ticket against Abraham A. Ribicoff, to fill out the unexpired term of the late Sen, Brian McMahon.
Since the trend has been ..away from support of the Truman administration and toward the Republics, Sen. Benton may have a tough job ahead of him in his bid for re-election.
Sen. Benton is a staunch "fair-dealer." He voted against requesting the President to use the Taft-Hartley 80-day injunction against striking steelworkers and he voted for an increase of $50 million for school construction.
He was against cutting aid to Europe and for more public housing. He has spent a great deal of time pressing for the ouster of Wisconsin's Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy from the upper house.
To fill out the four unexpired years of Sen. McMahon's term—even though the pro-Eisenhower forces favored Clare Boothe Luce—the Republicans nominated Mr. Bush who almost defeated Benton in the 1950 senatorial race.
Opposing him is Rep. Ribicoff who has been a member of the lower house since 1948. His voting record is as liberal as Mr. Benton's. He voted against ending price control, against weakening rent controls, against increasing taxes, and against restoring the committee gag-rule.
Gaining strength as it is, the Republican party is still far from victory in the state. Vivien Kellems, an independent candidate and a perennial fee of the income tax, probably will draw most of the conservative votes which could go to the Republicans.
The election is going to be close Whether the trend toward conservative, anti-Truman, Republican voting continues will be shown Nov. 4. As the senatorial election goes, in all probability so will go the state's electoral college votes.
"An' now, coming in to replace Jones, Wright, and Morris in th' chewing section—we have three fresh, spirited ..."

Respect Demanded For National Anthem
It is not my intention to be too critical of thoughtless actions by many who know better but are just careless in the demonstration of their respect to this wonderful country.
Daily Kansan Editor:
When the national anthem is played at the football games everyone knows that he should rise and stand at attention, and then he does so probably because he sees everyone else doing it. However students and other spectators forget that drinking cokes, fidgeting, and talking is not an act of respect that is expected of them.
To those who show little respect for the national anthem I would like to say that it would be a blessing for them to spend years away from this country so that they can learn to appreciate what blessings we have. Probably then they would learn better to appreciate it and learn to show proper respect for what our national anthem stands for.
Law Student Elected To National Office

Organized in St. Louis on Sept. 5, 1949 by delegates from 45 schools, the organization's membership is now 35,000.

Expansion Neglects Old Tin Can Dorms
Daily Kansan Editor:
The 10-year building program totaling more than $1212 million to be brought before the Board of Regents, Oct. 30-31, at Hays, has little foresight for the expected enrollment of 10,000-12,000 students within the next ten years.
Where do they plan to house these students without state appropriations?
At the present time, dormitories on this campus (with the exception of North College and Corbin) resemble bulging tin cans. Originally, they had been used as comfortable family homes.
Let us begin with the living room of one of these dorms. They are pleasantly decorated for the purpose of impressing taxpayers who see where their money is spent.
Eating is so relaxing! Sixty people try to crowd their way to tables where they constantly bump eibows with their neighbors.
Now to the living quarters where four students live in one room trying to sleep, study, and keep their clothes looking presentable. All this is done in a $ 1 5 \times 1 5 $ foot space plus a small closet designed for the use of only one or two persons. Electrical outlets are few with as many as four extension cords being used in a single room and lighting is inadequate for studying.
Bathroom facilities for 28 people include only two bathrooms with one tub and one stool each. Water pressure is so low that when more than one faucet is turned on at once, residents can barely get enough water to brush their teeth.
Inadequate dormitories are a disgrace to this University when one considers that Kansas State and smaller state schools provide healthy, comfortable living quarters for their students.
Explain this please.

One Man's Opinion
By ROGER YARRINGTON
President Harry S. Truman scored a direct hit Monday in a revival of his 1948 "give 'em hell" tactics.
He charged that candidate Dwight Eisenhower was a gullible "front man" for the Republican party. The general has "spent all his life in the Army and does not know his was around in GOP politics," said President Truman.
The President, a past-master of the political campaign, has thumbed the general's soorest spot.
Voters in the coming election are going to be concerned with choosing a man with experience who can take the mantle of the presidency with assurance.
Such a charge strikes home with many people who feel Eisenhower a disappointment. He has not been able to maintain the pedestal position he held before his nomination. The stereotyped Eisenhower has changed from a commanding figure to Ike-with-the-wide-spread arms;
An apparent widespread feeling that a general's background is not the proper training for the presidency is a liability. Along with this the President has hit another tender place with his implication that Ike is being spoofed by GOP bigwigs
President Truman has found the bull's eye. If he keeps throwing, each pitch is going to hurt the GOP cause.

History is often written by weather. The Spanish Armada was destroyed by a storm. And had it not rained on the night of June 17, 1815, the Battle of Waterloo might have had a different outcome.
School children in Geneva, Switzerland, have Thursdays and Sundays off. This system was devised to give parents who have Saturdays off a vacation from children as well as from work.

A course for housewives and husbands on how to repair irons, toasters, and refrigerators was offered summer session students at Arizona State college.
President Truman is off on another "give 'em hell" campaign tour. Some Republicans think that's all they've been getting for the past six years.
The latest style with the coeds seems to be big belts and bigger buckles. Well, just so they don't wear six-guns.
