K.U. Tracksters To Big Six Meet
Sixteen Kansas tracksters will compete in the Big Six conference indoor track and field meet tomorrow in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium. Nearly 160 athletes from Big Six schools will participate.
Leroy Robison, shot put; Frank Raab, mule and 880; Harold Hinchee, 880; Bob Laptad, mile and 880; Harold Moore, mile and two-mile; Don Schuster, mille; Johnnie Jackson, quarter mile and mile relay; Andy Lunsford, quarter mile and mile relay; Dick Shea, quarter mile and mile relay; Jim Richey, mile relay.
Jayhawker entries and the events in which they will compete include Tom Scotfield, high jump and broad jump; Bob Stoland, high jump and broad jump; Nobert Zimmer, high jump; Mel Stevens broad jump; Dexter Welton, broad jump and low and high hurdles; Dick Anderson, pole vault and 60-yard dash.
The Jayhawkers, who scored only 12 points in the meet last year, have been picked by some coaches of other schools to win the annual meet. However, several Jayhawkers have been ill this week and may not be in top form.
Each member school is allowed to compete 18 men officially, but practically all the other conference schools have entered far above this number in the track and field events.
The University band will play at the championships, and the meet will broadcast by one of the Kansas City stations.
Enough students-1750 in all--are enrolled in mathematics alone at the University to make a college within a college.
1,750 Students Now In Math Courses
Handling the largest enrollment in the history of the department are 25 full and part-time teachers, offering instruction in 15 different courses in 65 different sections.
Six members of the mathematics staff, Profs. G. W. Smith, J. J. Wheeler, H. E. Jordan, Wealthy Babcock, Florence Black, and E. B. Stouffer, department chairman, have taught in the department for 25 years or more.
Reasons for the increase are the heavy engineering enrollments, the mathematics requirements for almost all branches of science, and the number of persons who realized the necessity of mathematics during the war, according to Professor Stouffer.
A new ruling established by the College and adopted by other schools, requires all new students to take a mathematics aptitude test. Scores indicate the courses new students are qualified to take.
Professor Stouffer pointed out that failures in College Algebra were reduced one-half as compared with the last pre-war semester owing to the accuracy of the examinations. Previously, students had been allowed to take mathematics courses depending upon the amount of work they had in this field before entering the University.

ABOUT 7,000 miles of coaxial cable will be added to our plant during the next few years. Inside each cable are six or eight copper tubes—each pair a broad communications highway over which two television programs or nearly 500 long distance telephone calls can travel. Giant plow-trains will "plant" much of this cable deep in the ground-safe from storm and fire.
This construction is but a part of our activity in the television field. Now in an advanced experimental stage are plans to link coaxial cables and high frequency radio relay systems to provide a nationwide television network.
Our part in television is the transmission of programs from one station to another. As this new industry develops, the Bell System will be prepared to provide whatever network facilities are needed.
