'K.U. Grid Stars Are Real Bookworms,' Sauer Asserts
"The Kansas football team is one of the smartest outfits in the country." That's the decision of Head Coach George Sauer, and he's pretty pleased about the whole thing.
He feels that way not just because the Jayhawkers' heads-up football has brought about two major upsets (Oklahoma A. & M. and Oklahoma)
that may bring a wishing football season to Mount Oread, the first destination — but because they are keeping their heads up in their school work, too.
It all started with a magazine article, "Football's Black Market,' written by Francis Wallace for the latest issue of Saturday -Evening Post.
Among other charges, most o them about eastern and southern schools, Mr. Wallace inferred that colleges are stocking their football bench with gridiron heroes who rarely open a textbook, and who get through four years of college only by enrolling in a "physical culture" course.
A quick look at the records revealed that the Kansas starting line-up contains two pre-meds, four education majors, three business majors, one in the college and one in engineering.
Mr. Wallace quotes the Chicago Tribune as describing the course of study of one Illinois grid flash as follows:
"He didn't pick any snaps, either . . . Advanced football, one hour; camping and outdoor leadership, three hours; theory of coaching, two hours; and baseball, two hours."
At the University of Kansas, Coach Sauer says, the situation is just about reversed.
"The course of study of the Kansas football team," he asserted, "is without doubt as rough as or rougher than that of any other major football sound in the country."
Ray Evans, Lynne McNutt, Warren Riegle, and Joe Crawford are business majors; Frank Pattee, Charles Penny, and Bryan Sperry are engineering students; and Howard Fischer and Dave Schmidt are pre-meds.
The men taking a physical education course at K.U. find themselves confronted with such classes as animal Biology, psychology, physiology, sociology, human anatomy, and kinesiology.
The official count on the football squad as a whole is College, 19; education majors, 18; School of Engineering, 6; and School of Business, 5.
The daily football schedule at K.U usually puts the average player in the Union cafeteria about 6:30 for dinner—so he still has amble study time left. All the players, Sauer reports, are making satisfactory grades
"We don't have time to fool around with players who are having scholastic difficulties." he added. "They have to pull them through without any undeserved favors from the faculty."
Architects Will Dine
Staff members of the department of architecture and their wives will hold an informal dinner meeting in the English room of the Memorial Union at 6 tonight.
Aggies Take To Air To 'Skonk Jayhawk'
The K.U.-Kansas State rivalry flared anew today—this time from the skies.
Leaflets saying "Skonk the Jayhawk" were dropped over the campus from two Piper Cub airplanes about 1 p.m.
The planes presumably flew from Manhattan, where the Jayhawkers will meet the winless Kansas State football team in a Big Six conference match Saturday.
Dropping the leaflets represented a violation of Civil Aeronautics Authority rules, unless the pilots received special CAA permission, according to Lloyd Ware, of the Buhler-Ware Flying service at the Lawrence airport. The planes did not use the airport here, he said.
the fliers—Bill Goddard, Charles Smith, Albert Paluch, and Wilbur Born—said they were members of the "Porcupines," a student organization at Manhattan.
Goddard said they had received "permission to fly over the campus and drop the leaflets from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce."
Permission was granted. Goddard said, by William Yearout, assistant secretary of the city office. Mr. Yearout was unavailable this afternoon or comment.
Rustic Log Shelters Protect Bus Riders
The new log shelter for bus riders are now in use and are among the few structures completed since the war that no one has tried to rent.
Endearingly called, "corrals with roofs on top," the shelters will serve primarily students living at Sunflower. During recent stages of completion, two of the canvas windbreak panels were slashed by vandals, but these have been repaired.
Speaks To Psychologists
Michael Dunn, assistant chief psychologist at Winter General hospital. Topeka, conducted a round table discussion on clinical experiences in the Army at the psychology colloquium Monday in Frank Strong hall.
He was assisted by R. Evan Stevens, instructor in the psychology department and Charles Derthick, graduate student.
Dean George Baxter Smith of the School of Education was to give a short talk over WREN at 1:05 p.m. today for National Book week.

Quonset Hut Not This Way Often

The hut, completed last month, is usually at least half full of students dodging the noisy basement corridor of Frank Strong hall or the more distant Watson library. (Daily Kansan staff photo)
Amateur Radio Club Will Contact Anyone On Globe For You Free
Have you a buddy in Germany or Japan whom you'd like to contact by radio for free?
Or would you rather call home?
The necessary equipment, a transmitter and a receiver, will be furnished by William Casteen. Engineering sophomore, and Carlyle Osborn, Engineering sophomore. This equipment will make possible a 175-watt station, powerful enough to contact any point on the globe under favorable weather conditions. Plans are to set up a 1,000-watt station, the limit allowed by law, Doane said.
Students will be able to communicate with any place on the globe where an amateur radio operator can be contacted, as soon as the newly-organized University of Kansas Am- $ ^{\circ} $
Students will be tao. where an amateur radio operator, organized University of Kansas Amateur Radio club can find a corner in a building on the campus in which to set up its radio shack. This promise was made by William Doane, College sophomore, who presided at the club's first meeting Thursday in the Pine room of the Union.
If No One Throws The Trophy
The next meeting will be Nov. 21. William Barnett, Engineering freshman, was elected as temporary chairman until a constitution is drafted by a committee, headed by Zane Cole, Engineering freshman.
The 'Silo Tech-PU' Peace Is Wonderful
"There will be no rationing of messages and the law requires that we send them free." Doane said.
Membership is open to anyone desiring to learn the code and radio theory necessary to become an amateur operator. Training necessary to pass the test for a commercial license given by the Federal Communications commission will also be offered.
If the Federal Communications commission approves, the station's call sign will be WOKU. The club will affiliate with the American Radio Relay league, an organization of 500,000 amateur operators.
One the day of the game, Uncle Jimmy Green often was an unusually colorful figure after K-State dandals had coated him with purple paint the night before. Steps of K-State buildings often sported crimson and blue trimmings. Penalty for being caught raiding rival campuses was a head-shearing.
Six years ago, a tradition died.
Six years ago, a tradition died. It wasn't one of those quietly-observed, officially-sanctioned, matter-of-fact traditions. This one had color. It was the one between K.U. and Kansas State students which cropped out annually when football teams of the two schools met.
The color of this tradition was a hodgepodge of crimson, blue, and royal purple.
free-for-all between fans from the two schools was the contest's after-math. Goalposts were torn down, fistights broke out, and an occasional drunk was flung unceremoniously into Potter lake.
Pre-game hostility was mild compared to what happened after the game. For several years, a general
Frequent "gentlemen's agreements" between the two schools to abandon the raids were gentlemanly every day in the year, except two—the eve and day of the game. So, in 1940, representatives of both schools took positive action on a "peace-pact" with a provision by student governing bodies "to mete out serious punishment for such violations."
There are 46 members. Twenty-nine attended yesterday's meeting.
In 1937, five K.U. mauraders stood trial in Student Court for damage done to the Aggieland campus. After a prolonged trial, the defendants were assessed damages of $44.30 and placed on strict probation in a judgment signed by the late Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
Student newspapers sometimes added fuel to the feud. Daily Kansas stories referred to K-State as the "Cow College" and "Silo Tech." The K-State newspaper retaliated with such epithets as "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, P.U., and "K.U.-the only flaw in the Kaw."
Statewide Activities To Meet Tomorrow
Since then, a bronze trophy has been presented to the captain of the winning team at a halftime ceremony. The trophy has changed hands three times in six years. K-State won it in 1940 and 1944. K.U. took it in 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1945.
Inscription on the trophy reads:
"To provide for the reorganization and control of the spirit and enthusiasm of our two student bodies on the occasion of the annual football contest."
Prizes of $50, $25, $15, and three of $5 will be awarded correspondents having done the best work by the end of the school year. Winners will be determined by the interest they show, and the quality and the quantity of their stories.
Student correspondents for the Statewide Activities committee will meet at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Union.
Sachem Meeting Cancelled
"Oh. yeah?"
The Sachem meeting scheduled for Monday night was cancelled because several faculty members were unable to attend. The meeting has been rescheduled for Nov. 18, time and place to be announced later.
To Present 90th Vesper Service
A string quartet with Waldemar Geltch, W. Thomas Marocco, Clarence V. Beecker, and Raymond Stuhl will play a selection from Dussebus.
The 90th Vespers program of its series will be presented at-4 p.m. Sunday in Hoch auditorium.
The program, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts, will be opened by organ music played by G. Criss Simpson. The women's glee club featuring Lois Lee Richardson in an incident recital, will follow.
Russell L. Wiley will direct the University orchestra in the Scotch Symphony by Mendelssohn to conclude the program.
The men's glee club with Jess Rose, baritone, will sing two religious songs. They will be followed by the a cappella choir directed by D.M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Unless You Marry The Girl,You'll Sit Alone At Games
The system, as announced in Monday's Daily Kansan, is based on the division of home games into two sets. One set will be available to those whose activity book numbers are even, the others to those whose numbers are odd.
If you're married to the girl, the athletic office will make an exception and let you sit beside her at the basketball games.
That is the only exception planned for the four-game odd-and-even system for seeing the home games.
House Committee To Check Reported Immigration Leak
Detroit. (UP)—Rep. John Lesin-ski, (D., Mich.) chairman of the house immigration committee, announced today that the committee will open a series of field inquiries into reports of widespread abuse of immigration laws, starting in Detroit Monday.
Otherwise, if you have someone special you would like to go with, you have a 50-50 chance of not being disappointed.
One of the chief aims of the investigation will be to find reported leaks at border cities through which undesirables allegedly are entering the United States, he said.
Students with wives will be allowed to get two tickets on one book, thus insuring that they will have tickets to the same games.
