E.C. Quigley Brought KU Athletic Fame and Fortune
The heights to which the University has risen athletically in the past few years are results of the work of Ernest C. Quigley, recently retired athletic director of the University.
The very high esteem in which the Board of Directors of the University Physical Education Corporation holds Mr. Quigley can be gathered from a paragraph of a letter of appreciation to Mr. Quigley upon his retirement July 1, 1950.
Of Mr. Quigley the letter says, "His vast knowledge of athletics, his broad acquaintance with the athletic personnel of the entire United States, his unlimited energy, his sound judgment, together with his genuine desire to put the University of Kansas on the athletic map of the nation, are primarily responsible for all that has been accomplished."
Mr. Quigley came to the University in 1944 when sports on the campus were at perhaps the lowest ebb in the history of the school. In six years he built the athletic setup into one of such power that the Jayhawkers have received national acclaim in football, track, and basketball.
During Mr. Quigley's reign the Kansas football squad went to its first bowl game, had its first All-American player, and won the conference title for two consecutive years. The Jayhawker basketball team reached one of its highest peaks last year and has been labeled one of the top teams in the nation this year.
In track KU's distance men have been hailed as some of the greatest in the nation and in 1949 the baseball squad won the conference crown.
Before coming to the University Mr. Quigley was with the National league of professional baseball for 32 years. For 25 years Mr. Quigley was an umpire and officiated in six world series. For seven years he was supervisor of umpires in the National league.
"I came here to put KU athletics on a payable basis." Mr. Quigley said of his arrival at the University." One problem that faced us was the debt on the stadium which had long been a drag on K.U. athletics because of the expense. We paid this debt off through the splendid cooperation of the alumni and the people of Lawrence."
Of his retirement Mr. Quigley has this to say, "It is pretty hard to drop out of a program as potent as we have here and not be compelled to iron out some problems."
While at K.U. Mr. Quigley had several very interesting experiences but two things in particular stand out in his memory as extra special. One is a case of eligibility and the other one of alumni cooperation.
The eligibility problem effects the present football team because it pertains to Bill Mace, a defensive standout this year. Mr. Quigley says that the fact that Bill Mace is playing football affords him more pleasure than any other incident since he has been at K-U.
"The reinstatement of Bill Mace as to his eligibility came from handing of the incident in an aboveboard way. One of the highlights of my tenure was when they gave Mace his year back," he said.
The other incident that brings satisfaction to Mr. Quigley is the building up of the present season ticket program and the splendid cooperation of the alumni and the citizens of Lawrence.
Of the future Mr. Quigley says that he cannot see how our athletic program can ever drop back to where it was 10 years ago. He pointed out that we now have fine coaches, fine boys, and a good reputation.
At present Mr. Quigley is far from being inactive. He is a member of the NCAA rules committee and has a sports radio program three times a week over WIBW in Topeka. His program, a commentary on both high school and intercollegiate sports, is broadcast at 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
When ironing, sprinkle a little cologne over the ironing board. It gives the clothes a nice scent and makes ironing more pleasant.
A gravity meter is the newest piece of equipment to be added to the department of geology at the University. This instrument is able to reveal the geologic structure lying beneath it by measuring the difference in gravitational pull.
Geologists Add Gravity Meter
The basic component of the instrument is a small mass suspended on a very fine quartz hair-spring. No electricity or other outside force is required to operate this machine since even the slightest change in gravitational power would affect the spring by means of pulling or repelling the tiny mass.
The meter, with the exception of several dials on the top, resembles a large thermos bottle with three legs added to make it stand upright. But its simple appearance is deceiving for in reality it is very delicate indeed.
If a one ounce piece of aluminum was stretched into a hair-like filament that extended from New York to San Francisco, a distance of some 3,000 miles, and then a 6 inch piece was cut off one end, the change of weight would be enough to record on the meter. The instrument will measure 1/100,000,000 of the earth's gravitational field.
The process of making the gravity meter is so intricate that it requires the full-time employment of one commercial firm. Some of the quartz fittings must be carved by hand in an operation that takes about two weeks. The firm has made 45 instruments in five years.
In operation the instrument must be set perfectly level according to an air bubble gauge on the top. The operator may determine the recordings by looking through an eyepiece on to a chart located inside which is illuminated by a small electric light.
Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, said that the meter will prove useful in geophysical instruction and in studying various geological structures.
Five members of the faculty of the University department of geology will attend the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Nov. 16 through Saturday, Nov. 18.
Geologists To Capitol
R. M. Dreyer, H. A. Ireland, and R. C. Moore, professors of geology; H.T.U. Smith, associate professor of geology, and John C. Frye, executive director of the Kansas geological survey.
The meeting this year will feature a field trip into the Appalachian area and trips to various government laboratories.
Following the meeting, Professor Dreyer will present a guest lecture at Columbia university on the results of his research on the mode of emplacement of minerals.
The quality of assessed evaluation of property in Kansas has never been better than fair and strong indications that it is becoming poorer in recent years, was revealed in a study conducted by Jack F McKay, senior analyst for the Bureau of Government Research.
Analyst Writes Of Property Tax
"Property Assessment in Kansas," a study of the present system of property evaluation in Kansas, shows the reason for the poor assessment to be a lack of compliance with the statutes.
Three Juniors In Engineering Win $500 Each
Selection of the first three $500 John Morse Memorial scholarship winners in electrical and mechanical engineering was announced today by Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The three are; James R. Ashley, Jack W. Long and Charles W. Stephens. All are engineering juniors. The directors of the John Morse Memorial foundation in Chicago chose the men from among seven applicants who had passed a screening by a K.U. committee.
The scholars were chosen for scholastic standing, character, personality and campus activities. Consideration was given men who must do outside work and whose academic standing might be expected to improve if they were relieved of the necessity for outside employment.
Beginning next year the Morse Foundation will provide at least $3,000 a year for scholarships at the University. These will be awarded to three seniors and three juniors in electrical engineering. The foundation was established by Colonel and Mrs. R. H. Morse of Chicago in memory of their son.
Each of the three will receive $500 for the current year. The scholarships are renewable for the senior year.
Five Named By YWCA
New commission chairmen and committee heads were appointed by the Y.W.C.A. executive council Monday.
Mary Crews, College sophomore is human relations commission chairman, and Carol Forbes, College sophomore, is leader of the world organization commission.
Carolyn Crosier, College junior,
is keeper of the scrapbook, and Darlene Greer, College junior, will be editor of the Y-Knot, the W.Y.C.A.
newspaper. Marilyn Ross, College sophomore, is co-chairman of the Thanksgiving vespers.
Miss Ruth Packard, Y.W.C.A. regional secretary, will be guest of honor at a dinner at the Union Friday, Nov. 20. Any member of the Y.W.C.A. may attend the dinner if she notifies Miss Dorothy Reinhold, executive secretary.
O. E. Geppert of the Denoyer-Geppert map firm in Chicago was the guest of the University department of geography Nov. 2. He spoke to graduate students on many problems of map drafting and map reproduction.

Reinforced UN Troops Smash Ahead In Korea
UN Cautious On Red China Deal
Lake Success, N.Y., Nov. 7—(U.P.)—The U.S. and other United Nations members took it slow and easy today in deciding what to do about Chinese Communist intervention in Korea, fearful that hasty decisions could touch off a new world war.
Informed sources said it was entirely possible that no resolution censuring the Peiping government in any way would be presented when the Security council meets tomorrow in a special session requested by the U.S.
Tokyo, Nov. 7—(U.P.)—Reinforced Allied divisions smashed forward up to $2\frac{1}{2}$ miles today in their most aggressive action since Chinese and North Korean Communists drove them back from the Manchurian border area.
This relatively mild resolution, informed observers expected, probably would be the first development of what is going out the Korean policy in easy stages.
It called upon all U.N. members to use their influence to prevail upon North Korea to cease its defiance of the U.N. It also asked the members to refrain from assisting or encouraging the North Koreans and to avoid any action likely to lead to the spread of the war.
The most that was expected was a resolution repeating the measure introduced by the U.S. last July 31 in an attempt to localize the Korean war. That measure, action on which was forestalled throughout August while Russia's Jacob A. Malik was president of the council, finally was vetoed by the Soviet representative early in August.
If it were vetoed by Russia, it would open the way for the U.N. to take action under the American-sponsored "united action for peace" program passed by the General assembly last week. Chief provision of this program immediately applicable would be the sending of a 14-nation "peace patrol" to observe and report on the situation.
Although American officials cautioned against "premature speculation," many observers thought some effort to negotiate a settlement with the Chinese Communists concerning the Yalu river hydroelectric installations would follow the opening move.
However, one school of informed thought in Tokyo believed that Peiping had committed expendable, second-rate units to Korea to gain time to loot the Yalu installations. Once the generating equipment had been taken across the international river into Manchuria, this school believed, the Chinese troop would be withdrawn.
KU Marksmen Start Firing
The "go slow" policy certainly would give Mao Tse-Tung every opportunity to save face by with-drawing his forces before a major conflict is touched off.
Interest in competitive rifle shooting is high at K.U. this year and teams representing the three R.O.T.C. branches and a women's team will compete in local and national matches.
Sixty women belong to the K. U. Women's Rifle club which meets every Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. Their coach is Master Sgt. Harold Swartwood. The women's team will fire their first match with the University of Woming team Jan. 6.
Twenty men are on the R. O. T. C. team coached by Sgt. Leslie V. Davison. This team fired its first match with the University of Oklahoma team last week. The scores are exchanged by mail and the winning team is not yet known. In February the top scorers on the team will compete in the Hearst trophy matches and the Fifth Army tournament.
The N. R. O. T. C. team has scheduled matches with the navy units at Holy Cross and Alabama University. This team, coached by Master Sgt. H. H. Knott, will enter the Hearst trophy matches and the Secretary of Navy match.
The air force R. O. T. C. team coached by Sgt. Swartwood, is firing elimination matches this week
Publicity Job On Exposition
Any engineering student who wishes to be general publicity chairman for the 1951 Engineering Exposition should submit a written application to the Engineering Council, Kiieth C. Smith, president of the council, announced Monday.
American airmen broke up a challenge by at least 15 Russian-made jet fighters from Manchurian bases in the biggest series of hit-run dogfights of the war. The Yanks damaged three of the 600-miles-an-hour MIG-15s and shoed the rest back over the border.
The Chinese Communists and their Korean comrades had faded back in several sectors. In others, the Allies had to search them out for a series of local attacks scattered all across the narrow waistline of North Korea.
Two regiments of the U.S. 24th division and a British brigade lashed out from their Chongchon river bridgehead on the west coast. Advancing on a solid front, they rolled north $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ miles and reached all their objectives for the day.
U. S. 2nd division troops beat off a Chinese Communist attack in the rugged mountains of North-Central Korea 12 miles southeast of Tokchon. Then they swung over to the counter-attack and were advancing slowly.
South Korean troops struck to the outskirts of Tokchon itself. They shelled the ruins of the town, a rail and highway center keying the strategy in the central mountains.
The American 2nd division sent one spearhead eastward to link up with troops of the U.S. 10th corps pushing inland from the east coast. The junction was expected today, but the rugged terrain and dead end roads upset the timetable.
The arrival of these "volunteers." China boasted, will lead to the destruction or rout of American forces in Korea and may force the United States to accept Communist peace terms.
Hong Kong, Nov. 7—U (P)—Communist China admitted today for the first time that Chinese are fighting in Korea, but insisted they all were "volunteers."
Thus China might contend that it is no more guilty of intervening in the Korean war than the United States was guilty of intervening in the Spanish civil war when American volunteers fought with the international brigade against Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
The Chinese statement was contained in an editorial in the Peking People's daily news broadcast by the official Peking radio station.
Its emphasis that the Chinese troops are "volunteers" may be designed to answer Gen. Douglas MacArthur's charge yesterday that the Chinese Communists are waging undeclared war in Korea.
Dispatches from Korea gave the lie to the Chinese claim, however. American field commanders in Korea said whole divisions of the Chinese army were fighting against the U.S., British and South Korean forces. Chinese prisoners captured by the Americans said they had no idea where they were bound when they got their marching orders in Manchuria.
Red Troops Are 'Volunteers'
The K.U. Mountain club will hold its first meeting of the year at 7:30 tonight in the East room of the Union. David Gagliardi, graduate student, will tell about his attempt to climb Mt. Robson in the Canadian Rockies.
Gagliardo was invited by the Sierra Mountain Climbing club to join them this past summer in climbing Mt. Robson, a font which supposedly has only been accomplished once.
