Kansan Comments Is Athletics Meant for Students? Only Two Games Here Next Year
Students have been expressing wonder at the football schedule for next fall. So far, only two games have been scheduled to be played in Lawrence: Iowa State on October 6, and Kansas State on November 17. In addition, there is an open date, October 13, on which a game will probably be played here.
The game with Denver, however will be played there again next fall Games with Oklahoma, Wichita University, Nebraska, and Marquette will be played in Norman, Wichita, Lincoln, and Milwaukee, respectively. Moreover, contests with Texas Christian and Missouri are scheduled to be played in Ruppert Stadium in Kansas City.
A quick look over the records of the past five years points out the big decrease in the number of home games for 1944 and 1945. In 1940, 1941, and 1943, four games were played in Memorial stadium; in 1942 five games were decided on home territory. Last year students saw only two games at the stadium, and watched the Washburn game at Haskell.
The athletic association seems to have good reasons for such a policy. It admits that the prime motive is the advantage of large gate receipts in the larger cities. The secretary of the association estimates that the receipts of the Missouri game, played in Kansas City last year, were from six to nine times greater than they would have been at Columbia. The Texas Christian game probably doubled what the amount would have been at either of the schools. The Office of Defense Transportation opposes games not being played on either campus, but the theory here is, if the people cannot come to the games, we must take the games to the people.
It would seem that the idea of athletics being for the students is out of date. Are intercollegiate contests now being held solely for their pocket-liming possibilities?
If wartime considerations can be held responsible for the policy now being followed, the last large question which arises is, will the athletic association be content to give up the big money after the war? The reasonable assumption is that it will not, especially in view of the new stadium being planned in Kansas City with the expressed purpose of luring college games there. Unless students voice their objections pretty
-T.M.
loudly, it appears that $600,000—the cost of Memorial stadium—will have been wasted, and "home games" will be things of the dear, dead past.
Lois Crozier to Speak At Y.W.C.A. Meeting
Lois Crozier, Topeka, regional secretary for the Y.W.C.A. will be on the campus to meet with University women Wednesday and Thursday.
Miss Cozier will discuss "Charm on the Inside" at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at a meeting in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. An invitation has been extended to University women.
She will talk for an hour and then while refreshments are being served, will answer questions and give additional information on the Estes Park conference to be held this summer by the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. She will also meet with the personnel committee to help decide upon a new executive secretary and will meet with the newly elected officers for next year.
Miss Crozier is scheduled to hold discussions Thursday with sociology majors on group activities and with education seniors who plan to teach in high schools and direct Girl Reserve organizations.
F. R. Kenny Wins A.S.C.E. Award
Forest Robert Kenny, a former student in the department of civil engineering, has been granted the annual award of the Kansas section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The award, announced by G. W. Bradshaw, student chapter advisor, was presented at the monthly meeting of the Kansas section at a dinner in Topeka Friday night.
Kenny, an ensign in the Seabees somewhere in the Pacific, enrolled at the University in the Navy program in the fall of 1942 and left in November of 1944, having earned credits which made him eligible for graduation in June of this year.
The first annual Law banquet in honor of "Uncle Jimmy" Green was held at the University in 1905.
Rock Chalk Talk
Sir Galahad—Never let it be said that Elton Hoff, Beta, isn't a perfect little gentleman when it comes to aiding damsels in distress. When fellow classmate Sarah Jane Worsley had to have nutrition for her mosquitoes (which are raised from mere infants in class), Elton gallantly offered a tender morsel in the form of one Hoff arm. However, after one bite, the little fella' found Elton so sweet that he just couldn't stay away. Which might explain welty wittle Elton Hoff.

She didn't Karo — Betty Bixby,
He's a vicious circle--Rumor has it that the Union fountain would have sunk to bankruptcy long ago if it hadn't been for Earl "Round Man" Stanton, Fiji, and perpetual purchaser of that famous double-dip ice-cream cone of his.
The original crab apple—Just as Bob Buechel was in the middle of one of his better descriptions of what crabtrees would do for the campus, at the meeting of the senior class Friday, "Pinky" Schirk nearly upset the apple cart with his pertinent query, "And what commercial value will the apples have, please?" Seems that "Pinky's" post-diploma plans include a little stand on some street corner, where he will be known as "Apple Pinky."
The Moore, the merrier—In American Government class, Jean Moore nearly caused a minor riot when during a discussion that brought in the remark, "You can't serve two masters." Moore piped up with "But my father's married, and he has a business."

Classrooms by Mail Enable Workers To Study on the Side
Many adults, engaged in full-time occupations, find time to work on correspondence lessons, and actually "go to school on the side," according to Miss Ruth Kenney, director of the University's bureau of correspondence study.
Cash and Carry or Delivery Service
Both men, former University students, plan to attend summer sessions at the University to complete the requirements for their degrees.
Two of her correspondence students, an accountant and a county school superintendent, have just completed the maximum amount of correspondence study work. 30 hours, that is allowed in applying for a degree.

D. G. room checker for cleanliness, has the rather disgusting habit of running her finger across people's desks to catch any dust that might not have been seen by the naked eye. But when she came in Sari Marks' room, Sari just laughed and lauged, for she knew that there was nice, gooey syrup all over the top of her desk.
