CAMPUS OPINION--succeed in basketball without subsidiation but not in football. One asks how the other Big Six schools can produce bowl teams and not Kansas.

United States' interest in world affairs, and get away from the isolation seen before the present war. He added that the U. S. got in this war in spite of non-conscription, in answer to Miss Casad's argument, and pointed to the high A. W. O. L. rate at the beginning of the war, as proof that the youth of America needs disciplining.
Speaking for servicemen, Cunningham, who has seen overseas action in the present war, believes that the majority of members of the armed forces favor post-war conscription.
Roberts Discredits Training
"The present need is for technicians, and increased production," Orville Roberts, College junior major in political science, believes, "and a year's training would not be worth the money it would cost." It has been proved, Roberts said, in his con discussion, that arguments for physical benefit of army training are not well founded, and that the armed forces do not have the solution to the health problem. He also mentioned the lack of equality in the service, and pointed especially to the negro problem, an argument which was disputed by Cunningham.
Following the panel discussion the meeting was opened to questions and comments by the group
All-membership meetings of the Y. W. C. A. are planned for the third Wednesday of each month, Lonnie Kelley, president of the organization has announced.

KU Athlete Is Honored In Letter
Otto Semnellbacker, Sublett, member of K.U.'s Big Six championship basketball team in 1941 and 1942, was complimented on his athletic ability in a letter received recently by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen from Capt. Fred E. Heinlen, director of physical training at the Selman Air Field, Monroe, La.
The letter stated that Schnellbacker was the outstanding player on the Selman field football team this year. His defensive end play and his pass catching ability were the best that Captain Heinlen has seen, the letter said. Schnellbacker played only the last five football games of the season but he was chosen on the all-opposition team of each of the five teams he played against. In addition he was chosen as a member of the all-southern service team.
"He is a real credit to the University of Kansas and to the coaching staff." Captain Heinlen stated. "He is well-liked and a credit to the service, the post, and to Selman's athletic team."
Schnellbacker was a member of K.U.'s undefeated championship basketball team in 1942. This team, nicknamed the "Iron Five," consisted of Ray Evans and Armand Dixon, guards; John Buescher, center and quarterback; Charles Black and Schnellbacker, forwards.

Four of the first five are from Kansas, including Charles Moffett, Peabody; Dean Corder, Welda; Kirk Scott, Newton; and Herb Heim. Leavenworth. The only starter not a Kansas product is Gordon Reynolds, Tacoma, Wash. Reserves also from Kansas
Dr. Allen did not mention, however, that most of his reserves are also from Kansas. Among those who play often are: Owen Peek, Kansas City; Odd Williams, Lawrence; Gus Daum, Topeka; Ray Lance, Pittsburgh; Everett Hill, Lawrence; and Lou Goehring, Wichita;
Norman "Whitey" Carlson, West Orange, N. J., is the only one from this classification who is not originally from the Sunflower state.
College Presidents Against
College Presidents Against Subsidization
The whole subject has been one of controversy since schools first started looking for talent ahead of the opening of the fall term. Whether football will be more or less centralized after the war remains to be seen.
Esquire magazine has recently conducted a poll of college presidents to determine their viewpoints on college football. The majority seemed to favor less emphasis and subsidiation of football after the war.
It looks like there will be a wider split between the "big time" football schools and the weaker, conservative schools. Each school and conference will decide which brand it wants, and continue on that policy. A school deciding not to subsidize athletes will be left out in the cold as for as nationally known teams are concerned.
Kansas Could Have "Big-Time"
Football
With its huge stadium, an excellent athletic department, and the proper alumni backing, there is no reason why Kansas couldn't produce big-time football if it wanted to. Plenty of Kansas athletes could be induced to enter K. U. if they were helped financially on terms equal to other schools.
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma A&M, and Tulsa all have been to bowl games recently. Kansas has had her share of teams in the NCAA basketball tournaments. It seems that we have been able to
Used a Prep Football Tournament
The Kansas State High School Activities association should have a state tournament in football as well as in basketball. The Texas prepschool football tournaments have done more than anything else to develop stars in that state. Athletes thrive on competition and survival-of-the-fittest tournaments. The KSH SAA's annual spring basketball tournaments have aroused a tremendous interest in that sport. Why not in football, too?
Lt. Fred Humphrey Awarded Purple Heart Following Death
University of Kansas athletes are cared for very well compared to Kansas high school athletes. According to KSHSAA rulings, they can't even receive letter sweaters from friends or townpeople unless they work for them. But if you want to see how Notre Dame, Southern California, Tulsa, or any other of this year's bowl team schools treat their athletes, just read some of the school's literature. It's no wonder that boys are drawn by the glitter and gleam of these school's offers.
Lt. Fredrick G. Humphrey, student at the University from 1941 to 1943, who was killed in action last Sept. 21 while leading his platoon in night action in Holland has been posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Humphrey, Kansas City, Mo., have been notified.
A member of the 508th parachute infantry, $22nd air-borne division, he was killed by enemy fire as his platoon charged against an enemy-held town.

made a surprise landing in the rear of American troops in the Lingayen gulf area. The Japanese broadcast did not, however, claim to have forced any American withdrawal.
Washington military experts speculated meanwhile on the whereabouts of between 150,000 and 200,000 Japanese troops which were supposed to be on Luzon island.
More U. S. B-29 superfort raids were also claimed by Tokyo radio, but unconfirmed by U. S. officials.

Ice Age Contributes First Musk Ox Skull To Museum Collection
The first musk ox skull of the Ice age has recently been added to the fossil collection of the Museum of Natural History in Dyche, Dr. E. R. Hall, director, said today.
Usually the musk ox is found in the Arctic, Hudson bay, and northern regions. During one of the later ice advances, however, the animal moved south to Iowa, Nebraska, and other midwestern states.
A gift of Prof. Philip L. Wright of the department of biology at the University of Montana, the skull will be used for research work.
