Second Wind
During last week the first stories on the 21st annual Kansas Relays have appeared in the Daily Kansan. To many students these items may have no interest or meaning. This is understandable since the last Relays were held in 1942.
However, this spring the track carnival is being revived, and University authorities hope that the tradition of a great contest can once more be instilled in students on Mt. Oread.
The origination of this spring event was due almost entirely to the vision and work of Dr. John Outland. Doctor Outland, a former K.U. student, was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania where he made Walter Camp's football All-American two consecutive years at different positions.
At Penn when the relays there developed into the biggest annual athletic event of the time, Doctor Outland was filled with the spirit of the wonderful games. Upon his return to Kansas he insisted that the University promote such a track carnival. With the completion of the Memorial Stadium in 1920, his dreams soon materialized.
In 1923 the first games were held in the stadium. With each succeeding year the Kansas Relays gained in popularity until they were ranked equally with the Penn and Drake relays.
It was through the untiring efforts of Dr. Forrest C. Allen that the first Relays program was organized, and since then he has maintained an active promotional interest in the games. The director of athletics at the University has always been the director of the Relays; this year Ernest C. Quigley will be in charge for the first time.
Much of the preparatory work for the games is accomplished by the student Relays committee which also had its start in 1923.
student relay committee which includes this 13-man committee is composed of six freshmen, four sophomores, two juniors, and the senior manager. Ordinarily only the six freshmen are newly appointed each spring. The upper class positions are filled on a competitive basis from the members of the previous year's committee. Now, however, just three members of the 1942 committee are in school, leaving 10 vacancies to be filled this week.
A highlight of the games as far as the campus is concerned is the election of the Relays queen and her attendants. The queen is selected by a visiting track squad from photographs, and her presentation is steeped in tradition and ceremony equal to that of the familiar Home-coming ritual.
Letters to the Editor
Activity Book No Bargain Ferrell Complains
To the Daily Kansan: In your editorial "Book of the Month" you explained how our "bargain" money was spent. The following statements are taken from this article:
"The athletic department got $1.90. In return you saw the Nebraska basketball game Friday, and will see the Iowa State game next week. True, you paid an extra dollar for your basketball season ticket, but a ticket at regular prices would have cost $4.50."
Those statements hold true for those of us who were able to purchase a season ticket. But what about those who were turned down? What do they receive for their $1.90? Where does their money go?
It seems to me things are in a pretty bad shape when a student, who wanted very much to attend the games, and who paid his activity fee, was turned away while hundreds of outsiders were sold tickets. What sort of bargain is this? A lot of us would like to know.

(Editor's note: Earl Falkenstien, business manager of athletics, maintains that no student new on the campus second semester who presented his activity book before game-time at the athletic office was denied a season ticket to the two second semester games at regular student rates.
Although the new activity book contains no basketball slip, it has always entitled new students to the same basketball privileges enjoyed by students who were enrolled in the fall semester.
According to Mr. Falkenstien, some students did come to the games without having made previous arrangements for tickets and were told there was standing room only. Some took this standing room for $1; some didn't. To facilitate matters at the box office, veterans were asked to pay the $1 but were told it would
Why Pay for Events You Don't See, Student Asks
To the Daily Kansan: In regard to the editorial appearing in the Daily Kansan on the "bargain" of the activity book, the statement was made that for $6.21 we receive admission to K.U. events which would sum up to $21.82 via regular ticket channels.
This statement is true only with the assumption in mind that the holder of an activity book desires and has the available time to attend each and every event for which his activity book is good.
It is interesting to note also that the activity book is good for admission to the Kansas Relays which are scheduled on the Saturday during Easter vacation.
Secondly, it is stated that for $1 extra and an activity book, basketball tickets valued at $4.50 regular prices may be obtained. My tickets for this semester (Nebraska and Iowa State games) cost $1 for each game for standing room. The possession of an activity book made no difference in the price of these tickets.
It is true that the Kansas Relays are scheduled on the Saturday during Easter vacation. The Relays committee admits this is an unfortunate coincidence, but since Easter comes so late this year it conflicts with K.U.'s customary relay date—the third week in April. Other dates are taken by relays at Drake, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
If the activity book is such a "bargain", why are the students not allowed to purchase it on an optional basis?—R. B.

30 Veterans Attend First Income Tax Meeting
Thirty veterans attended the first conference on income tax returns in Frank Strong hall last week.
The three-cornered row over Iran points up the underlying defect in present relations among the big powers.

Russia Fears Large Western Powers Will 'Gang Up' On Her --Keemle
Another conference on income tax for veterans will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Frank Strong auditorium.
Great Britain and the United States again found themselves on one side of the fence, Russia on the other. The result was a feeling in several world capitals that the UNO was apt to be under a severe strain as a medium of world unity.
The question raised was whether the big powers would come to regard the UNO as a convenient tribunal for putting the small nations in their places, while reserving to themselves the right to settle their major differences by action outside the UNO.
The Iranian dispute was before the security council at its first meeting in London, when it caused a spirited verbal exchange. It may come up again if the present difference of opinion is not ironed out.
The point is not that Russia has flouted any decision of the council, since the withdrawal of Soviet troops was not the basis of Iran's protest. The removal of troops by March 2, in accordance with treaty obligations, was at the time taken for granted. What Iran charged was a violation by Russia of her sovereign rights in the Iranian province of Azerbaijan, where a revolt was termed Communist-inspired.
Russia consented to direct negotiations with Iran, and reluctantly permitted the council to reserve the right to look into the matter again if he negotiations did not turn out satisfactorily. The latest charge is that Russia violated a treaty obligation by not withdrawing her troops, as pledged.
But the larger question is how far the big powers intend to go in settling matters concerning themselves by direct and one-sided action, presenting the security council with

AT THE HOSPITAL
Admitted, Friday
There is no disguising the fact that, while paying full lip service to the ideals of the UNO, the biggers powers have been afraid to submit to its jurisdiction without reservation. Even the safeguards insisted upon by Russia, such as the veto power in the security council and three seats in the general assembly, have not lulled Soviet suspicion.

Russia twice raised the veto issue in the first meeting of the security council. Britain and the United States professed to be shocked at this early use of a power which supposedly was to be reserved for a major crisis, whereas the issues involved were in no sense critical.

Yet the western powers must have known that Russia, in forcing through the veto provision in San Francisco, had intended to set the record straight by showing what it meant at the first opportunity, and no nonsense about it. What they did not expect was that it would be invoked at what was meant to be a preliminary organizational meeting of the security council.
