Or Even The athletic office has devised the most artificial system possible for the distribution of basketball tickets. No one complained too bitterly when the announcement was made that students would see only half the home games. Everyone realized that Hoch auditorium was limited in crowd capacity, and he accepted the inevitable. But the odd-and-even system for deciding which set of games a student is to see has caused a great deal of unfavorable comment and will cause more before the basketball season ends. Fortunately, the athletic office band and wife to procure tickets to band and wife to procur tickets to the same set of games, so they cannot be accused of breaking up homes —happy or otherwise. But a lot of friends, sweethearts, and engaged couples have been very unhappy about it. The system, as set up, divides the eight home games into two equalized sets of four. One set will be offered to those having activity books with even numbers, the other set to those having odd numbers. Odd or even—content or discontent. "What are you, darling?" "Odd." "Oh, damn, I'm even." To add insult to injury, the athletic office insists that each ticket be purchased individually—thereby insuring a long line and extra work for all concerned. You can't take two activity books to the window. Each person must be accompanied by his own activity book. "No tickee, no watchee." Simpler, more successful systems, could have been set up. It might have been arranged on a preference basis, allowing the student to take whichever set of games (presumably equal in audience interest) he would like and closing that set when sold out. Activity books are stamped "nontransferable," but the athletic office is presenting an incentive for rulebreaking. Even now the problem could be solved by permitting agreeable parties to exchange books—which could hurt no one and would not disturb the workings of the system. The athletic office should remember that it is dealing with more than 5,000 veterans, accustomed to finding ingenious ways around disagreeable regulations. By establishing such a system the athletic office is inviting not only criticism but evasion. Avoid 'String Bean' Type, Hooton Says Boston. (UP)—If a woman wants a happy married life she should choose a fat man for a mate, according to Prof. Earnest A. Hogton, Harvard anthropologist. 'Butter Ball' Men Make The Best Husbands It's a simple process of elimination, he said, as he explained the differences between the three main types of men. These are the fat man, the bone and muscle man, and the string-bean type, Hooton said. Hooton said that each type of man is further divided and the fat man or "butter-ball" type, has at least 20 distinctive characteristics. 243 These, he said, include a love of physical comfort, a sense of relaxation, slow, smooth reactions, and a love of eating, ceremony, and formality. They are good judges of character, remarkable family men, and good husbands, he added. Hooton warned women against the "string bean," who he said generally suffers from sociophobia, a dislike for people and chronic fatigue, and is unpredictable. The "bone and muscle" man, according to Hooton, is the "perennial sophomore"—the man who comes back to lead the cheers. He is apt to weary his wife with his romantic tendencies, Hooton said, or go to the other extreme and bury himself in a book on philosophy. Lecomte Says France Again A Democracy Most men fortunately are combinations of all types, he said, and "I myself have inherited all the annoying characteristics of each of the three types." Roger Leconte, French exchange student, was back in his own element Wednesday afternoon, when he spoke to the French club on recent political developments in France. "After many periods of changes to the left and then to the right, France is again functioning as a democracy," he said. "This is due to a compromise between the liberal and conservative political elements which led to the new, democratic constitution." Lecomte was delayed enroute to Lawrence from France by the maritime strike, and arrived here Novel science and economies from the 1. He is a graduate student in politi-University of Nancy and will attend K.U. for a year, in accordance with the exchange student system. New Cyclotron Produces 10 Times More Energy Berkeley, Calif. (UP)—The most powerful machine in the world—the University of California's new cyclotron—was ready for work today after a test run showed it had produced energy equaling that of cosmic rays. Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence, head of the University's radiation laboratory, said the cyclotron underwent a successful test run yesterday that produced 200,000,000 electron volt deuteron-10 times more energy than ever produced before. Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, geology professor, will begin working this month on basic research experiments of the natural crystallization of minerals. Dreyer Will Begin Mineral Experiments The University was able to participate in this research project, because of the new petrographic grinding equipment that has recently been installed in Lindley hall, L. R. Laudon, head of the geology department, said today. Pearl Harbor Inquiry May Be Resumed Washington. (UP)—It appeared likely today that the new congress will dig further into the Pearl Harbor and war contract scandals. Resumption of the inquiries under Republican sponsorship was hinted strongly by Sen. Owen Brewster, who is in line to become chairman of the senate war investigating committee. Like To Eat Here?
