Two Tennis Prospects Are Mixing Their Cups In Homemaking Course
Two K.U. tennis team prospects are mixing their tennis cups with measuring cups in the home economics department.
Harold Miller and Richard A. Richards, College juniors from Springfield, Mo., may be novices in their Fundamentals of Homemaking class, but they aren't beginners in the tennis department.
The net honors they have carried
home include the 1946 doubles championship in the Missouri state college conference, and Richards took the singles championship from Miller in the same conference.
These two athletes admit they talked it over seriously before deciding to enroll in a home economics course.
"It was for mutual protection," blond. lithe. Miller confessed.
But the homemaking course isn't just a lark for Miller who is taking a pre-law course, and Richards, who is majoring in personnel administration.
"There is always the possibility of marriage," dark-eyed, soft-spoken Richards observed, "And this will provide practical experience when the man will have to assume the responsibilities of a home."
The course would be of value to anyone contemplating either marriage or bachelorhood, but there should be a more detailed course for those who are already married, they agreed earnestly.
"I have no doubt about my own culinary ability," Miller was confident, but Richards insists that he wants to learn all he can about nutritional values and turning out the latest in steaks.
These two men who plan to manage a home as effectively as they do tennis rackets aren't the only males who are showing an interest in this department. The fact that biological science credit is given may have prompted five other men to enroll in Child Development. Six men have enrolled in home decoration but they are all planning to enter the interior design field, Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, home economics professor said.
The unbalanced Homemaking class ratio with only two men, in the class is something to make the engineers gnash their teeth, but Richards and Miller wish that there were more men to back them up.
"This ratio puts the women at a disadvantage, actually." Richards has decided, "because it makes them self-conscious in class discussion and they consider our ideas as personal statements rather than the opinions of men as a group.
"But, of course," he added hastily. "It is nice."
Class Squads Play For I-M Championship
Sophomores vs. juniors and freshmen vs. seniors will be the slate at 7 tonight as the women's intramural squads make their bid for class supremacy in basketball.
The winners will play winners and the losers will play the losers for final positions Tuesday.
Last year's sophomores, this year's juniors, have won the class championship for the past two seasons, and will be trying for a third class crown.
Anderson Leads In High Point Honors
Individual high point winners in women's intramural athletics are headed by Joan Anderson, Alpha Delta Pi, with 97 points.
Donna Mueller, Delta Gamma, is second with 63, and Mary Jean Hoffman, Kappa Kappa Gamma, has a close 61. Betty van der Smissen, Locksley hall, holds the fourth spot with 69, and Maxine Gunlosly, Kappa Kappa Gamma, is fifth with 53 points.
KuKu's Plan Party In Union
Plans for the Ku Ku Club party, April 11, will be outlined at a meeting at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Student Union.
Golf Team To Meet Tomorrow In Gym
The first meeting of the golf team will be held at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow, in room 203 Robinson gymnasium.
All men interested in playing on this year's golf team should report at that time, Coach Robert Coyan said today.
Expert, Left-Handed Shot
This is Jack Eskridge, 6 feet 4 inches, 190-pound ex-marine, who used his size to good advantage in the game against Oklahoma Tuesday night. An expert left-handed shot, he had two years experience at Graceland Junior college before coming to the University.
Frat Busters Defeat Smith Hall, 58-31
The Frat Busters retained their record of only one game lost by defeating Smith Hall 58-31 last night in the intramural basketball league.
Ward led the winners with eight field goals and four free throws for a total of 20 points. Bailey also turned in a fine performance with five field goals and two charity tosses for a total of 12 points. Selig set the pace for Smith Hall with a total of six shots scored from the floor.
Two games are scheduled for tonight at 10:00 p.m. Phi Psi plays Alpha Phi Alpha, and Gamma Delta meets the K.C. Club.
The Navy Officers forfeited to Phi Gamma Delta in the second game of the evening.
Open That Door We're Home—Finally
The 90 students who cautiously approached their respective front doors and stealthily tipped up the stairs at that suspicious hour of the morning were members of the K. U. orchestra.
No, closing hours have not been extended until 3 a. m.
One of the three buses used to transport the group to Iola for a concert Monday had motor trouble after the performance, and for an hour the group was temporarily stranded 100 miles from the campus.
The vehicular trouble was finally remedied, and the group proceeded to Lawrence, where they feared explanations would be in order.
Ohio Fans Yell Their Version Of 'I'm A Jayhawk'
They were.
K.U. Song Invades Golden Glove Tourney
The famous Kansas pep song, "I'm a Jayhawk" made an impressive showing at Chicago's recent Golden Gloves tournament, much to the delight of attending Kansans and chagrin of rival Missourians.
"Spunky" was a tiny fellow who received more than his share of pummeling but somehow seemed to win because of his steady nerves, fighting heart, and shifty footwork.
The song burst forth after a group of Toledo fans decided to repay Kansas Citizens for their cheering of an participant nicknamed "Spunky."
The Kansas Citians took Spunky's cause to heart and a torrent of 'Yeah,
Spunky's" followed the tiny Toledoan from one hand to the next.
The Ohio supporters were not without appreciation, and sooon chants of "Come on, Kansas" cropped everywhere in appearance of a Kansas City fighter.
The crowning glory of the tourney for Kansas fans came after the last fight of the evening. Ray Lee of Kansas City had beaten his opponent.
The judges proclaimed the Kansas Citizen the victor, the announcer voiced the official decision, and a hush fell over the crowd as the stadium organist played "I'm a Jayhawk", the pep song of K.U.
