PAGE TEN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, MAY 2 Little Man On Campus by Bibler “... Sure wish I was graduating. This going to school gets rough..." The Editors Report — GET THE BOYS IN Out Of The Cold by Bob Nelson Many of the K.U. fieldhouse plans are still in the "proposed" stage. Many details aren't worked out and probably won't be for some time. The $750,000 appropriated by the 1949 legislature is just a good start and the future of the fieldhouse hinges heavily on what takes place in the next session. Kansas, with a larger enrollment than Kansas State, certainly is entitled to such a structure as the Wildcats will have to play basketball in this next winter. The Aggies' fieldhouse construction started in March 1949 and will be entirely finished in March 1951, although they will use the mammoth hanger-like building this December, just 21 months after ground breaking ceremonies. "Construction is ahead of schedule and we feel fortunate to be able to play our 1950-51 basketball schedule in the fieldhouse." Thurlo E. McCrady, Kansas State athletic director, recently said. "We hope to soon announce our dedication game opponent and an attractive 1950-51 home schedule which will include Long Island university, Indiana, and Wisconsin," he added. Kansas State received about every break possible on construction with an "open winter" the past year and is ahead of schedule. If it takes Kansas State some 21 months to build a smaller fieldhouse than proposed for K.U.-with ideal help from the weather, labor, and what have you—how long will it take Kansas to build an even bigger one? Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's 1950 co-championship team probably contained the greatest group of sophomores ever assembled in his 33 years of coaching on Mt. Oread. Certainly sophomores Bill Lienhard, Bob Kenney, Clyde Loveillette, Bill Houghland, Dean Wells, and others will have a good year in 1951 and the 1952 team could be the greatest in the history of K.U. basketball. In order to have even the slightest chance of getting these 1952 greats-to-be into a K.U. fieldhouse before they complete their basketball eligibility in March 1952, students, alumni, and friends of the University will have to push the fieldhouse building program along at a rapid pace. When K.U. students return to Mt. Oread next fall, Kansas will be the only Big Seven school without a fieldhouse. Our Jayhawker teams can hardly be expected to compete on equal terms with conference schools well equipped with fine indoor facilities. During bad weather, K.U. athletes will continue to either have no practice at all or attempt to practice outside in the bitter-cold, snow, sleet, and rain. While you are home this summer, if you live in Kansas, try to see the members of the state legislature from your district and tell them how much we need a place to house our basketball team and our track, baseball, and football programs during the cold winter months. Four hundred University of Oregon students are reported to have rioted over who to elect president of the student body. How different a few miles make in the political activity of colleges! Here at K.U. we're lucky if that many students get out and vote in a student election. --by Keith I Electrical Labor More Efficient Labor time required to produce selected types of electrical equipment and supplies was reduced 17 percent from 1939 to 1947, the Bureau of U. S. Labor Statistics has announced. According to the bureau, the increased volume of output during the war and post war years provided an incentive for rapid introduction of improved equipment and working techniques. The gains in manufacturing efficiency, resulting from technological improvements, more than offset manufacturing difficulties arising from scarcity of materials, inexperienced labor, and heavy production schedules. Average efficiency in electrical industries increased 21 percent, during the eight year period.

Ava's Spanish bullfighter has composed a long, rhapsod poem about the beauties of her hair, teeth, etc. It seems that addition to fighting the bull, he is also expert in composing NOTICE Our sports desk tells us that K.U. won the first of the two game series with Oklahoma Monday.
