A FITTING TRIBUTE
Ye ED
Honoring Merit
The student council has gone on record as favoring the naming of the new fieldhouse Naismith-Allen. This we feel is one of the most intelligent moves the council has ever taken.
For some time past we have felt moved to bring this topic up. Almost total strangers would stop us on the street and say, "Why don't you do something about seeing to it that the new fieldhouse is named after the two men who have done the most for basketball, not only in Kansas, but perhaps in the whole country?"
When these persons slowed down long enough for us to get a word in, we would tell them we would do what we could.
Many persons have also written us letters. Some of these writers have been alumni who have known both men—Dr. Allen and Dr. Naismith. None can find any objection to naming the fieldhouse Naismith-Allen.
Of course, we have heard that there is a standing policy never to name a building after a living person. Whether an exception should be made to this policy in this instance is something we can not decide. That will be up to the official naming committee.
Yet the many voices of approval that have been heard by us on the subject seem to indicate that probably a majority of the people on the Hill and in the state favor the honoring of the two men who have done the most to boost the sport of basketball.
We have attempted to give everyone a chance to air their opinions on this topic. And it has been our observation that everyone interested in the new fieldhouse have been in solid agreement. Name it Naimmith-Allen fieldhouse, they say.
CAME at Naismith-Allen heidhouse, they say.
The A.S.C. action in favoring the name seems to us to register the majority of student-opinion—or at least those students who give a hang about the University. They could not have given Dr. Naismith and Dr. Allen a finer tribute.
WHAT'S GOING ON
In The World
Ye ED
Great Britain again reports high hopes of closing the dollar gap in trade with the U.S. and Canada when Marshall plan aid stops in 1952. The report goes on to say that it is the overall aim of the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth to become "viable and independent of extraordinary outside economic assistance. We want to earn the dollars we require."
The report leads us to feel that if the British keep on handing us so many horse-laughs, they may be well worth keeping on the payroll.
The New Yorker has an odd report from a lady just back from the Belgian Congo and vicinity. She recalls several jungle scenes that remain vividly in her mind—a picnicking Hindu family listening to American cowboy songs on their portable phonograph, and a trio of native boys singing, "Bongo-bongo-bongo, I don't want to leave the Congo!"
Savages, y'know . . .

Surely, if students buy the Bitter Bird, one could assume they think it worthy. Let's let the students keep the privilege of buying it or refusing it.
