SOPHOMORE TRACKMEN Wes Santee (left) and Lloyd Koby are fast becoming experts at spelling Utah backwards. They travel to the stadium each day down the smeared path, north of the campanile. Repeated rains—and snow—have failed to wash away the signs as was stated three weeks ago.

"Utah" signs are still marring the campus buildings and grounds three weeks after the game—despite repeated rains and even snow.
Utah Signs Still Mark Grounds Despite Rains
Dr. Allen Speaks on Chest Drive
"If you struggle hard, you'll make a good showing." Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen told the KuKu's, men's pep organization. Thursday night.
Dr. Allen, famous coach of the Jayhawk basketball team, spoke on behalf of the Campus Chest drive next week, in which the KuKu's will solicit unorganized houses.
In illustrating how to achieve success in the campaign, Dr. Allen cited examples of what it takes to win basketball championships. He referred to last year's East-West All-Star game, in which he coached what was called "the greatest West team of all times" to victory.
The good-natured "Phog" told of a magazine article in the East which raised the question, "When are Phog Alien's boys going to come out and admit they're'velded games?"
He illustrated his point by telling of a recent trip to the East when the KU players brought 34 guests to dinner after an important game.
The tough ones are the ones you have to go after," he said. "They are the ones which decide the championship, but they're not easy to get."
"Decent kids don't throw ball games," Dr. Allen said. "We're not afraid of our boys here in Kansas. We can't think of our team as one family."
Dr. Allen indicated that he hasn't had any trouble with his boys "chasing around" like some of the basketball squads outside of Kansas have been known to do.
"I'm told your 1951 chest goal is $2,500," he said. "I have faith that you Kansas boys will reach that goal. Remember that with hard work, you are bound to succeed."
Two Red Peppers Elected To Offices
Judy Crane was elected treasurer and Patricia Davis social chairman Red Peppers at a meeting Thursday in the Kansas room of the Union. Both girls are College freshmen.
Twenty-five Red Peppers are going to Lincoln Saturday with Jay James, Kukus, and froshawks on KU's special train.
> Fourteen men from the Olathe Naval Air Station, most of them from Utah, were caught painting up the campus, but were released after removing only those signs on the stadium walls.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said University officials simply "did not have time" to supervise the culprits in the cleanup work.
"There were more important things to do during the day of the game than to stand over those men and see that they did the job," Dean Woodruff said.
He said he felt sure the signs would be washed away "after the first good rain."
However, the signs seem to be outlasting the rains. Among the signs still marring the campus are:
"A Utes" sign in front of the library, a "U" in back of the library bulletin board, "Utah" on the walk north of the campanile, and a gigantic "U" at the baseball diamond.
Dean Woodruff expressed surprise when questioned by a Daily Kansan reporter Thursday.
He said he will ask the grounds and buildings authorities to take care of the matter "as soon as possible."
The signs were still marring the campus Friday.
REMINDERS OF UTAH'S VISIT three weeks ago still mar the campus. The painted sidewalk in front of Watson library is only one of numerous similar signs on the campus. The culprits, caught by campus police, were released when University officials "didn't have time" to supervise cleaning up operations. (Kansan photos by Jim Murray)
