Faculty To Play Varsity Cagers Wednesday
Hold it, basketball fans! Don't buy those tickets to New York.
The two top post-season games of the year won't be played in Madison Square Garden. They'll be played as a double-header right here in Hoch auditorium Wednesday night.
In the opening game, the Faculty Flashes will tangle with the K.U. varsity. The second contest will pit the 1947 Intramural All-Stars against a K-Club squad of former Jayhawk lettermen.
"Every member of the faculty squad is well qualified to challenge the basketball suppermacy of the varsity team on the Hill," Mr. Shenk said today. "We were all born in baskets and began training for this game on a milk diet the first day."
Player-coach Henry Shenk of the Faculty Flashes has assembled an imposing array of administrative athletes and classroom cagers to oppose the Varsity. The roster includes: Dean Paul B. Lawson, Raymond Nichols, Ogden Jones, Prof. Calvin VanderWerf, Fred Montgomery, Dean George B. Smith, Prof. Edward Robinson, Prof. George Beal, William Fishers, the Rev. Dr. Edwin F. Price, and Prof. Alfred Seely.
The two cage battles are sponsored by the Memorial Drive committee. No admission will be charged. A voluntary collection will be taken during the games to aid the drive.
Ray Evans, spokesman for the K.U. Varsity, made the following statement:
"This is one test we must not flunk. If the faculty wins, basketball at K.U. will never survive the blow."
Personnel of the 1947 Intramural All-Star team will be announced in Tuesday's Daily Kansan. These players, selected as the outstanding performers in the intramural cage season just finished, will be managed by Donald Powell, director of men's intramurals.
The K-Club squad will be handled by Charles Moffett, Jayhawker cage star of the 1944-45 season. Moffett has lined up a powerful group of former varsity court specialists.
Officials for the contest will be Jim Richie and Ed Lindquist. These two whistle-tooters were reluctant at first to brave the power of the Faculty in case of a close game, but they finally consented when faced with the list of Faculty players.
The Faculty-Varsity game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Intramural-K-Club game will follow whenever the Faculty runs up a commanding lead or becomes exhausted.
Story No. 2,365--It's An Ill Wind That Blows, Etc.
It was a bit blustery Monday as Glen Sewell, business senior, walked to his 10 a.m. class in Frank Strong hall.
Suddenly a gust of wind whipped off his hat, but a friendly hand in back of him grabbed it out of the air and returned it to him.
"I told you you should get rid of that thing," Dale Oliver, College sophomore, remarked to Sewell.
Another gust of wind whirled by and took the hat again. This time Sewell dropped his notebook as he grabbed for the hat.
Thirty pages of notes, representing a half semester's work swirled to the Military Science building. Two friends gave chase while Sewell got his hat.
Ten minutes later the three friends compared notes. All 30 pages of them were crumpled, smeared with water, and disarranged.
"And I have to hand these in tomorrow," Sewell groaned.

"He floated out of sight downstream," Nelson said as he was brought ashore, suffering from exposure. Firemen in boats continued their search for the Omaha businessman but expressed fear he had been drowned.

Construction On Five Buildings Is Under Way
Five campus building projects are being started this week.
George M. Beal, University architect, said that work on the following construction jobs is now under wav.
The two story classroom structure has been started behind Frank Strong hall, with the foundations of the building being completed.
An additional quonset hut will be added to the two already located behind Frank Strong hall. The three huts will be connected to serve as classrooms, office space, and Guidance bureau rooms. Moving the Guidance bureau from the basement of Frank Strong will increase available space there. Prof Beal said that the new quonset was previously designated as a hospital annex, but is not needed now that the influenza threat is ended.
Additional construction includes an auxiliary lab back of Blake hall, and a cafeteria west of the Mineral Resources building, Professor Beal said.
Work on the Military Science garage, until now delayed, has been started, Prof. Beal said. It will be used as storage space and shelter for University equipment.
He stated that materials for all the new projects are being obtained and used under a contract with the Federal Works administration. The buildings have all come from either Coffeyville, Kansas, or Lake City, Mo.
Washington. (UP)—Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson indicated today the administration is prepared to meet one of the strongest criticisms of its proposed military and cash aid for Turkey and Greece by informing the United Nations of its plans.
"Failure to advise the UN now," he said, "does not mean that consultation is not desired, and cannot be and will not be held very soon."
Aid Plan To UN At Right Time
Secretary Acheson told the senate foreign affairs committee that he was sure there would be "an appropriate moment" when the entire matter of the proposed 400 million dollars in aid for the two countries will be discussed with the U. N.
Again and again Secretary Acheson was prodded today in his appearance before the committee as to when or whether the United States would inform the world organization of its plans. The questioning was led by senate president Arthur H. Vanderberg, who urged that UN be advised of the intended steps.
