UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS
DECEMBER 18.1940
You Can Breathe Easier; Sauer Is Staying At K.U.
You can rest easy if you heard the rumors—the head coach of the Jay-lower grid team next year will be a guy named George Sauer.
The rumor that he was leaving but those who heard it believed it.
Now Coach Sauer—in a message to the Daily Kansan—has stated specifically "I expect to remain at Kansas."
The story began soon after the close of the football season, when Sauer piloted the Oreadmen to their best season in 36 years.
The story said he received those offers. Some persons even named the places which had dangled temptation in front of the Sauer eyes, and some others even said he had resigned to go to a specific school other
It was only natural that despite the fact that he had a three-year contract on the Hill, the coach would get offers from other schools who wanted to build their football fortunes as the Jayhawkers did.
Earlier this week, the Daily Kansan telegraded the coach at San Francisco, where he is helping coach the western squad for the East-West New Year's grid game. The telegram read:
Today the coach answered:
"Campus reports have you resigning your job here, going elsewhere to coach next year. Will you be coaching anywhere but Kansas in 1947?"
"Your telegram surprises me. I expect to remain at Kansas University.
That should clear up the situation and make everyone—including a gentleman named Ernest C. Quigley—breathe more easily.

Engineers And Intricate Machinery Hinder Chances For Peace, Ise Tells Tau Beta Pi
"The engineers," he said, "spend their time developing diabolic and complicated machinery that complicates our society. People just can't keep up with it."
"If we could get rid of the engineers, we wouldn't have to worry about peace," said Prof. John Ise in a speech to an initiation banquet of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity, Tuesday night in the Pine room.
"Right now, having come out of World War II, we are heading directly for World III, and the spalling thing is that nobody of influence is trying to prevent it.
"There are a few signs of peace now. For instance, Italy is talking about getting a piece of North Africa. Nobody is talking about giving North Africa to the North Africans
The United States, he said, is also trying to reach out. We are attempting to make the Pacific ocean an American lake even though Russia, China, Australia and a lot of smaller countries lie along that ocean.
which seems to me to be the logical thing."
Esker's Condition Is Better, Bethany Hospital Reports
"The most sensible plan I've heard for preserving peace in the Pacific is to take a group of professors from the United States, China, Russia, and someday, even Japan, and put them on a boat and let them cruise around and make certain that nobody fortifies those islands. I propose professors because they're cheap labor and generally honest." Professor Ise said.
About 45 persons were present at the initiation ceremony. Fifteen new members were initiated into the organization.
The condition of John Esker, College freshman, who was injured December 11 in an automobile collision while en route to Kansas City, has been reported better by hospital authorities at Bethany hospital in Kansas City. Kan.

Give Students More Control, P.S.G.L. Senate Asks
A three-point proposal for action was presented by Clifford Reynolds, executive committee chairman, to the Political Student Government league senate Tuesday night at Battenfeld hall.
The points outlined by Reynolds are:
ONE: Student representation on the faculty senate.
TWO: Power to distribute activity ticket fund.
THREE: Delegation of power to student court to act on student disciplinary cases previously handled by the administration.
Concerning the proposals, Jack Pringle, senate member, commented that "the trouble with the student court handling such cases is that it bogs down with legal terms. As in the past, law students use it for practice."
George Caldwell, senate president, initiated discussion on the All Student Council's decision concerning their stand in non-payment for the student directories.
"It seems to me," Reynolds said, "that this thing goes deeper than merely paying for or not paying for the directories; it's a question of whether a member of the administration can step in and nullify action of the council and substitute his own actions."
"But you also want to remember," Jean Moore, senate member, interposed, "that in consulting Mr. Klooz, the council gave him implied power to act. If it was known that there was to be a charge for the directories, I am surprised that some of the council members did not bring up the regulations in the constitution concerning the selling of direcories."
"The fact that the council made a mistake does not justify Mr. Klooz's action." Austin Turney, P.S.G.L secretary - treasurer added. "The council was responsible for the error of its publication board in letting Mr. Klooz handle the directory distribution, but Mr. Klooz was in error by taking upon himself the distribution."
"We have two drawbacks to such a plan." Moore stated. "First, students do not support the A.S.C. wholeheartedly and, second, to my knowledge the University Daily Kansan has neglected the student view and backed the administration in every case."
