Four Suggestions On Athletics
Among all the complaints voiced against "over-emphasis on intercollegiate athletics" in the past few years, there has been almost no really constructive criticism.
Plenty of critics have seen that there has been too much stress on athletics, that the situation has tended to detract from the effectiveness of other values of college life (including education), and that this warped perspective has sometimes been unfair to non-athlete students.
An exception is Chancellor R. G. Gustavson of the University of Nebraska, who discussed the subject at Nebraska's first all-University convoitation recently.
Most of them have no offered alternatives,however. They have only said "Something should be done about this," without offering specific and effective examples of what should be done.
Dr. Gustavson proposed a four-point,program for American universities and colleges to follow in "establishing a more rational relationship between intercollegiate athletics and their academic programs."
"First, I believe that all off-season practices, including spring practices for football, should be eliminated.
The four points were:
"Second, freshmen should not be allowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics. The freshman year should be devoted to an adjustment of the student to academic life.
"Third, all post-season contests, including so-called post-season 'bowl' games, should be eliminated.
"Fourth, every student participating in intercollegiate athletics must make normal progress toward graduation. If a boy is making unsatisfactory grades, he should not be taking the time to participate in extracurricular activities . . . It is a 'cheat' and a 'steal' to bring students to the University and then take so much time away from their academic work for athletics."

Stories-We've-Been-Waiting-For-Department
Little Jackie Zimmerwood, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Zimmerwood, 6745 West Lagoon avenue, received a dog as a birthday present several years ago. Since then the boy and the dog have been inseparable pals. Because of this close bond, Jackie soon named the pooch "Old Friend."
The boy took marvelous care of the dog, little dreaming that someday Old Friend would be needed to come to his rescue. Jackie personally fed him every morning and night. His parents even consented to the dog sleeping in the boy's room during the winter months. The dog in return showed his devotion by such things as waiting outside the schoolhouse everyday.
Last February as Jackie emerged from school, he saw three men brutally beating the dog. Without a moments hesitation the boy jumped into the fray and beat off the attackers. Since then, the dog's loyalty to his master has been greater than ever.
Friday afternoon as the two faithful companions romped together, a gang of bullies jumped little Jackie. Old Friend immediately ran off in the opposite direction. He has not been seen since.

London-(U.P.)-British voters fired the Labor party from office today and called 76-year-old Winston Churchill to be prime minister of a Conservative government.
-News Roundup
Conservatives Win British Elections
Labor Prime Minister Clement Attlee was scheduled to see ailing King George VI at Buckingham palace tonight to surrender his seals of office. Churchill will be received in audience later to accept the call to power.
Conservatives achieved an absolute majority of the 625 seats in the House of Commons in the tabulation of ballots at 10:33 a.m. (CST). At that hour party standings were: Conservatives 313, Labor 292, Liberals 5, others 1.
United Nations officers told them immediately the new proposal was "completely unacceptable" because the suggested line would fail to provide military protection for allied forces.
Panmunjom, Korea — (U.P.) — "Horsetrading" Communist negotiators today abandoned their long standing demands for a truce line on the 38th parallel and proposed instead that it be drawn 15 miles south of the main battlefront.
UN Refuses Red Truce Plan
Hint Truman-FDR Agreement
Washington—(U.P.)—Opinions of the late President Roosevelt in 1940 offered new clues today as to why President Truman risked a storm of Protestant protest to reestablish diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Mr. Truman has nominated Gen. Mark W. Clark to be America's first ambassador to the Holy See.
Mr. Roosevelt sent Myron C. Taylor to the Vatican in 1939 as his personal envoy. The late president accepted protests philosophically as reflecting "a lack of appreciation of the difficulties and the niceties of conducting foreign affairs." Mr. Truman is in much the same philosophic mood. His basic reasons for wanting a high-ranking American at the Vatican closely parallel those of Mr. Roosevelt, who used Taylor for tasks ranging from attacking anti-Semitism in this country through the Catholic hierarchy to gleaning valuable information about other nations.
Informed sources said that an invitation is expected to go out to Churchill soon and that a White House meeting may be held in a matter of months. But President Truman is expected to wait for Churchill to make the first move on the Tory leader's campaign proposal for a big three meeting with Soviet Premier Josef Stalin.
Predict Better Relations
Washington—(U.P.)—U.S. officials predicted today that the Conservative victory will result in closer American-British ties, highlighted by an early White House meeting between President Truman and Winston Churchill.
The University of Kansas dropped from 7,566 to 6,512, a 13.9 decrease. Kansas State college declined from 5,683 to 4,947. A 15.5 per cent drop. Pittsburg State Teachers college declined from 1,883 to 1,680, 11 per cent. Emporia State Teachers declined from 1,308 to 1,078, 17.6 per cent loss. Fort Hays State college from 1,031 to 964, a 6.5 per cent loss.
Kansas Enrollment Drops
Topeka—(U,P)—A 12.8 per cent decrease in enrollment in schools of higher education in Kansas between Oct. 1, 1950, and the same date this year was shown today on a board of regents report. The 1950 enrollment was 17,409 as compared with this year's figure of 15,181.
Defends State Department
Washington—(U.P.)—Brig. Gen. C. Snow claims that in the four years he has headed the state department's loyalty board, "Not one case has been found of a present Communist working" in the department.

In a speech before a George Washington university legal fraternity last night, Snow, a Republican accused Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of making "over and over again the same baseless and disproved accusations" about Communists in the state department solely for his own "political advancement."
