The Fieldhouse
"Allen Field house." That sounds pretty good to us.
Harry E. Morrow, sports editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal World, has come up with the suggestion that K.U.'s new field house be named in honor of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, the University's basketball coach, now entering his thirty-third season here.
Newcomers to K.U. might not be familiar with "Phog" Allen's national reputation. Allen plays an important role in the history of basketball itself—he is one of the founders of the National Basketball Coaches' association; he was instrumental in founding the N.C.A.A. tournament; he served for many years on the National Rules committee.
He has made Kansas university a household word in athletic circles. His teams have won or shared 18 conference championships, have won two national championships and have run up the incredible record of 474 wins against only 168 losses.
"Phog" Allen has brought considerable fame to K.U. through the years. His name is the only one we can see on the new field house. The board of regents acts on suggestions in naming new buildings. How about a student petition to the board asking that the field house be named for "Phog" Allen, one of the basketball greats of America? —J.W.S.
Pile Of Junk
"C'mon, Tommy. There's an ol' pile of junk over by that fence," said George, a mop-headed boy of 10 years. George had a mean face and hard eyes.
"Okay," said Tommy.
"How d'ya know? There ain't much left," said Tommy, who was smaller than George, and much dirtier.
The two boys scrambled down a steep weed covered bank and ran to the remains of the car.
"It looks like a car. A Ford, I betcha!"
"Gee, there ain't much left," echoed George.
"Let's see if we kin crawl inside. We kin puttend it's an ambulance or a police car," said Tommy.
Tommy tried to squirm into the front seat through the smashed door.
"Ill push ya," said George.
"I can't git in," he said.
"No, don't! Cut it out. I'm stuck. Cut it out, will ya?" wailed Tommy.
"Nuts," said George.
Then George saw a scrap of paper on the ground, peeking from the December snow.
"Look, Tommy. What's this?" he asked.
The card read: University of Kansas, student identification card. There was a picture of a young man. Blood stained the signature.
"Gee," said George.
"Gee," echoed Tommy.

We were pleased to notice that the A.S.C. will now let us smoke on the North stair tower of Fraser and in the press room of the Journalism building. And might we ask what's wrong with the roof of Blake hall?
'Small Things'
"Faculty Meets With Menninger Group," said the headline, and we thought for a moment that our professors had been found out at last; however, it turned out to be just a small group of psychology teachers.
We read that Mount Oread will erode to nothingness in a few thousand years, and we hope that the campanile will be built sometime before the hill is gone.
We notice in the official bulletin that Der Deutsche Verein versammelt sich Donnerstag, and if they do, we want to know who will answer to the consequences.
Letter to the Editor: Dear Sir: It is obvious that the Kansan has embarked upon a smear campaign directed at the college women of America. The snide editorials and remarks about our abilities as homemakers are enough to turn one's tummy. If you men want wives who will labor over stoves all day and be able to talk of nothing but recipes, I hope you're just unlucky enough to end up with such wives. The Women of America will never be satisfied to return to their former status of slavery. Yours, Gwendolyn Z.
Santa Is 'In Dutch' With 5-Year-Old
Tyler, Texas.—(U.P)—A little boy's faith in Santa Claus has been shaken.
The youngster was impressed. He put down the telephone, bolted for the bathroom, grabbed the castor oil bottle—and downed a half-wint
When their 5-year-old son balked at taking a dose of castor oil, a Tyler couple arranged for Santa
Claus to telephone and advise the boy to take his medicine.
The parents hope he'll be all right by Christmas, when Santa comes in person.
Edgar Allen Poe is generally regarded as the originator of the modern detective story.

"Do you grade on the curve?" she asked.
The shy young freshman waited until the other members of the class had left. She then approached the instructor's desk.
The instructor looked at her. "Ordinarily I do," he said. "But in your case, it's a little difficult. You sit back so far."
