STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Tuesday, March 4, 1947
44th Year No. 93
Lawrence, Kansas
Little Man On Campus
By Bibler
"Two bits worth of premonition bets this class doesn't convene today.
Red Cross Gets $136 First Day
First day contributions totaling $136 have been received from 30 contributors in the Red Cross drive, Mrs. Adeliaa Sondker announced today, Mrs. Sondker is in charge of the University division of the drive in the absence of Dr. George B. Smith.
All professors, instructors, and employees of the University have been contacted by mail. Boxes have been placed in every building for contributions from the students.
The University division is part of the Douglas county chapter of the Red Cross. During the past year their activities have included loans and grants to University students totaling more than $4,000 from October 24 to December 3. The Red Cross also gave 3,248 services to 2,218 veterans, 700 services to 518 active servicemen and their families, and 71 services to 49 civilians.
Dr. Smith points out in his letter to University staff members that there is an extremely heavy need for service to the ex-G.I.
"He is the fellow who needs a loan until his government program is started. He needs advice on government benefits or adjustments on terminal leave pay. These local programs for servicemen, veterans, and civilians cost money. The only source of income is your voluntary contributions," he said.
Navy Atom Films Shown Tomorrow
Two hours of entertainment including a 35 minute film of official Navy scenes of the atomic bomb tests will be presented at 8 p. m. to-morrow in the Community Hall.
Jerrie Herring, pianist, will play requests by bite audience. Billy Wiese, hill-billy singer from West Virginia, will sing.
All boys between the ages of 17 and 13 1-2 and all veterans are invited to attend.
No admission will be charged for his program, sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion.
Orange Parking Zones Taboo, Corwin Says
A warning to motorists to refrain from discharging passengers in orange zones was voiced today by Robert Corwin, Mt. Oread's new "Dick Tracy."
"Cars which stop in these 36-foot zone near intersections tie up traffic." Patrolman Corwin explained.
Future violators will be arrested and turned over to city officials, he declared.
Rev. Green Well, Continues Seminars
The Rev. Bryan S. W. Green, who has been ill since Thursday, is out of bed and will continue his schedule of seminars and personal conferences. Students desiring personal appointments are invited to make them at Mvers hall, he said.
The Rev. Mr. Green plans three more seminars in Myers hall before leaving for an engagement in Tulsa. Beginning today "Preparation For Family Life" will be held at 4 p.m. and "Basic Christianity" at 9 p.m., the latter seminar having its final meeting Wednesday night.
"This Religious Emphasis week has been the best of the five I've attended," said the Rev. Mr. Green. "The students cooperated magnificently, and there was a fine response to my seminars."
His visit to the United States will end late this month, when the Rev. Mr. Green will return to England, where he is vicar of Holy Trinity church, Brompton, London, England. Before then, he will appear in Tulsa, little Rock, and Washington, D. C.
The Student Memorial Committee dinner, scheduled for 6 p. m., to tonight, has been postponed until 6:15 p. m. tomorrow in the English room.

What I Meant To Say Was:
Malott Blasts NCAA Rule On Athletic Recruiting
Says Kansas 'Unwilling To Be Naive, Hypocritical, Or Artificial'
Chancellor Deane W. Malott today fired a broadside at "holier than thou" attitudes in the administration of intercollegiate athletics.
Mrs. Woodhouse Will Speak To Careers Clinic
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, instructor of economics at Connecticut Women's college, will be the principal speaker at a "Careers for Women" conference to be held at the University of Kansas March 18 and 19.
In a prepared statement Chancellor Malott criticized adoption of the National Collegiate Athletic association's code on recruiting by the new Mid-West conference, formerly the Big Six.
Women from nearby colleges and high schools have been invited to attend the conference, which is being sponsored by the Women's Executive council, Y.W.C.A., and the United Women's council of the University.
Dr. Clara Nigg, a graduate of the University in 1821, will receive the University's distinguished service award for her work in blood grouping, typhus, and virus diseases while director of the Influenza Research laboratory of the International Health division, Rockefeller Foundation.

Root, Scoot, Volto, Mello-reeny, MacVouty
New Orleans—(UP)—What is being done to the English language on the college campus today would make Webster roll in his grave.
The newest slang craze is called Voutian, now being bandied over coke glasses at Tulane university.
This Voutian development is difficult to dig. Nayo hoss, you have to be hep.
For instance, William Lutenbacher, one of Tulane's pioneer Vouts, explained that a formal greeting goes like this:
"Root, seoot, volto! Mello-reeny! Ley me five 'n latch onto this this one."
Voutian, said Charles Swain, another Vout, is here to stay. He said it allegedly was traceable to a West Coast hot trumpet player, Slim Gaylord, who has even compiled a dictionary—pardon. Voutiary—of words and phrases for his disciples.
the chemist-reeen, little psychovol-
ty," providing, of course, he had decided on chemistry and psychology.
Swain said if you asked a fellow-Vout what subjects he planned to take, hfs only proper answer would be "Maca-reeny, MacSkivine. Lit-
How far this latest cement-mixer version of our language would reach nobody at Tulane dare predice.
Much of Voutian is lost in translation, of course. But it appears fairly flexible.
"Meca-reeny," for instance means anything at all. "Routie-voutie" and "viddle-vop," each mean good-looking girl. "Malto-reeny" obviously means malted milk, and "hamburger-reeny" gets you a hamburger from any "hipster."
He described the University as "unwilling to be either naive, hypocritical or artificial in its relations to alumni, the public or prospective students."
The chancellor's statement reads in part:
"The National Collegiate Athletic association has enunciated a set of principles for the conduct of athletics, one of which has to do with recruiting.
(The newly-created Mid-West conference endorsed the "recruiting principle" at their meeting Saturday. It forbids recruiting of athletes off-the-campus, "financial aid or equivalent inducements" to prospective students, but allows coaches to make public appearances "in the general interests of the institution, even though the occasion may be of an athletic nature.")
"The University does not subscribe to this principle," the Chancellor's statement said. "We do not w a n t professionalism in athletics; we are not interested in buying athletes."
Chancellor Malott insisted that the University "must maintain its complete right to operate its athletics as it does the rest of the 60-odd departments of the institution."
To say that a coach may go to a community to speak but may not discuss attendance at the institution in unrealistic and unsound. Any college describes to such a principle is, in my opinion, guilty of the following:
"Two. He fails to recognize that recruitment is going on anyway. Why do coaches go to high school football banquets? It is not for love of travel or to hear their own voices lifted in oratory.
"One. He is shutting his eyes to what goes on in athletics, when he turns over the recruitment of athletes to operate back behind the barn.
"Three. He fails to realize that financial inducement is at the root of the problem of professional athletics. The most effective way to stop financial inducements is for the institution itself to control all relations between athletic students, prospective and actual, and not to create barriers clothed with an aur of artificiality, stealth and guilt.
"The University of Kansas is interested in bringing the best students possible to its campus. . . Any regulation by an outside agency that sets up abnormal barriers to this end, or sets up barriers to standing, loss of control by the institution, and an abdication of the responsibilities of its administration."
Coleman Will Speak On Advertising Today
"Psychology of Advertising" will be the talk given by James Coleman, assistant professor of psychology, at 5 p.m. today in the Kansas room of the Union building.
In the meeting, the first in a series of informal student gatherings sponsored this semester by the coffees and forums committee of the Student Union activities, Professor Coleman will speak about the methods and effects of today's advertising involving the new knowledge and application of psychology. Group discussion will follow the talk.
Other meetings of a similar nature, discussion of topics of current importance, will be held bi-weekly in the Union building. The coffees and forums committee plans to ask other faculty members to lead future meetings.
