Jayhawks Face Cyclones Friday
The Kansas Jayhawkers will wind up the first round of Big Six basketball play Friday night at Ames against the Iowa State Cyclones, defending conference champions.
Winning in a photo-finish game, 53-52, from the Oklahoma Sooners Friday night, K.U. disposed of the more important of their two first division threats.
Kansas will depend on big sweepin' Charlie Black to bear the brunt, both offensively and defensively, against the Cyclones. Black set the season's individual conference scoring mark with 28 points, and excelled on defense against the Sooners.
After forging ahead, 11-9. K.U. retained her lead which fluctuated from 10 points to the one point which meant victory. The Sooners outscored the Jayhawkers from the

Just Ask Othman---He Understands All About the Most Intricate Budget
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Staff Correspondent)
Washington. (UP)—Having analyzed the national budget carefully with my bride's bath room scales (guaranteed accurate) I can confirm President Truman's statement that it's down. Last year the budget weighed five pounds flat. This year, gray binding included:
The new budget contains 975 pages (mostly fascinating, as I hope to prove in a minute) and tells exactly where our government intends to spend $35,800,000,000 in 1947. With no further introduction, let us dive in for a look at where some of the money goes:
A new limousine for the vicepresident of the U.S.A., a functionary who does not now exist, $4,000. Varnishing and cleaning the senate's furniture, $2,000. Folding its documents, $8,000. Overhauling the senators' two private subway cars, $2,000.
Three pounds, 10 ounces.
Salary of the deputy sergeant-at-arms in charge of the house of representatives' mace, $3,180. Two revolving doors, the capitol, $6,000. The botanic gardens, prohibited by law from giving away any rose bushes, $136,100.
Transportation of things at the White House (what things I have no idea) $3. Transporting things at the White House also cost $3 last year and $3 the year before.
Inspecting meat—presuming the strike is over and there will be meat to inspect-$9,160,000. Investigating milk, $171,900. Controlling bugs (including importation of beneficial bugs), $2,579,000.
A new sedan for Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace, $1,800 Note: Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes owes somebody $10 from 1945, but he doesn't know who. Come forward and identify yourself.
Investigating fish, $765,000. Wages of a blacksmith in the Anchorage office of the Alaska railroad, $3,862. Rewards to those who catch post office burglaries, $55,000. Unusual conditions at post offices, $50,000. That's what the book said: Unusual conditions.
Educating Indians, $9,177,900. Conserving Indians' health, $6,769,570. Preserving Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, $2,393.
Wages for kavasses, guards, dragomen, porters, radio operators and others working for diplomats abroad, $4,839,000. Rental of a launch for the ambassador to Turkey, $3,500. Diplomatic emergencies in foreign lands, $9,500,000; last year these emergencies cost $17,500,000. Cultural relations with China, the Near East and Africa, $1,390,000. Identification of Brazilian grasses, not one red cent; 12 months ago it cost us $2,387 to identify grasses in Brazil; now they're all identified.
Street car fares for U.S. treasury officials in Washington, $500. Guns, bullets and uniforms for White House cops, $9,000. Special paper with red silk threads in for mooilah, $775,000. Catching the guys who
make money without red silk threads, $1,911,000.
Grants to visiting professors, hemisphere leaders, and experts, $350-000. Hiya, professor? Recoignage of worn-out dimes, quarters and halves, $140,000.
Purchase of samples (h-m-m-m) by the District of Columbia alcoholic beverage control board, $1,000. Dog catchers, same town, $28,200.
I told you so. The budget's an interesting book. Also good as a door-stop, and not bad, despite its weight reduction, as a blunt instrument.
"Lack of interest" has postponed the advanced courses of ROTC until next fall, Capt. John Bradley, commander of the army unit at the University, announced today.
Advanced ROTC Course Postponed
Bradley stated that of the 380 questionaires sent to returned veterans, only 39 replies were received. Twenty-five of these men were eligible. Reasons for ineligibility included physical deficiencies, over age, and insufficient service.
The advanced course, which pays $18 a month and gives college credit, is offered to any veteran over 19 and under 26 years of age, who has had 12 months service in any of the armed forces.
Women's Intramural basketball games scheduled for tonight will not be played because of the conflict with the University Band Concert. Six games will be played tomorrow night.

"Too Young to Know"
1st Lt. Pete Peterson
Pete Peterson believed in Santa Claus until he was 17 years old, at least.
It all happened because he had a flat tire one day.
The flat came just as he was driving by an airport near his Iowa farm home. He stopped to fix it, and saw a snazzy little airplane, all warmed up and rarin' to go.
In fast sequence, then,
Pete took a ride, got
talked into taking some
instruction, and — next
Christmas—had a plane
of his own from his
father.
This early start in flying—for Pete has been winging through the air nearly a decade—gives him the highest number of air-hours on record at the Jayhawk Flying club—more than 5,500.
Pete will be instructing at the Flying Club classes, beginning next semester, and it's just like old times for him. He was a teacher in the civilian pilot training for Hill students for nearly two years before the war, and since then, he's tucked nearly all his service years in with more aviation teaching.
New students will be amazed that Pete can get into one of those tiny training jobs, on which instruction begins. He towers a couple of inches above six feet, and throws 200 pounds on the scale, but he's never gotten stuck in a plane yet.
"Well, not completely," he grinned. "I almost have a couple of times. I don't know anywhere I'd rather be stuck, though."
