WERNER TO----
(continued from page one) in any student activity or any department of the University. Any such positions now held must be relinquished at once. The Commanding Officer of the Navy unit on the campus has informed me that he is taking appropriate action in the case of the Navy members of the "Sour Owl" staff.
The situation, however, is more important in its broader aspects. This magazine was sponsored by the All Student Council, the group more than any other responsible for student leadership, for student expression, and for student participation in the affairs of this campus. It failed completely in its responsibility in this case.
And failure in student leadership is a failure upon the part of the entire University. I hope students will succeed more and more in problems of self-government, self-discipline, and leadership. This particular instance will, I feel sure, strengthen the desire of the All Student Council to be more than ever alert to the inevitable responsibilities which go always with authority, to the end that all students will realize their opportunities in this institution to participate, to be heard, and to be an active force in the life of the University. But these opportunities lie always on the side of decency and thoughtfulness, for the University and for the rights of the individual student.
In an effort to strengthen the University's contact with and cooperation with all student activities, I am hereby abolishing the office of Men's Student Advisor, and creating the Office of Dean of Student Affairs, to which I am appointing Mr. Henry Werner. His duties will be to advise with, and aid in, all student activities, as an administrative officer of the University. He will have free access to meetings of all organizations and activities of the University, in addition to his former responsibilities as counsellor and adviser to men students.
It will be a part of his responsibility to help see to it that faculty advisory committees are given every opportunity to function, that student organizations are aided in the fulfilment of their desires and objectives, that student government be given every opportunity to be felt on this campus, and to broaden in every feasible way the students' knowledge of and participation in University affairs.

By EARL BARNEY, KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
For the second time in two years, the Kansas Jayhawks will open their basketball season as one of the underdog teams in the Big Six. As unusual as this may sound, it is never the less true. Iowa State, with her unusually large complement of V-12's, again will step onto the court as one of the pre-season favorites. Oklahoma, too, counts a large Navy unit as part of her enrollment, and will rank with the Cyclones as championship material. The Missouri Tigers, although possessing no V-12 unit, have a large number of lettermen returning, and in basketball, lettermen mean far more than
Intramural Meeting Is Tomorrow Night
The second meeting of the '44-'44 intramural season has been scheduled for 7:30 tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium, Ray Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals, announced today. Plans for the next sport in which teams wish to participate will be discussed, and arrangements for a schedule will be made. Kanehl stated that the selection of the next sport will be entirely up to the discretion of the teams themselves although, he added, basketball and volleyball are the immediate possibilities.
Any group of men interested, whether they reside in an organized house or not, are asked to send a representative to the meeting. Although the intramural football season was somewhat disrupted by the between-semester vacation, the leagues functioned very well in most cases, with the Betas and Phi Delts winning the "A" league and "B" league titles respectively.
Great Britain Stands Alone At Aviation Conference
Chicago (INS) — Great Britain, fighting doggedly to win economic guarantees for its own empire aviation industry following the war, stood virtually alone in the Allied and neutral world today as the international civil aviation conference moved into its fifth week.
Church Groups Will Have Interdenominational Meet
An interdenominational meeting for members of all the student religious groups on the campus and in the city churches will be held on Sunday evening, Dec. 3, at 6 o'clock in the Kansas room of the Union building.
The meeting, which is being sponsored by the University Student Religious Council, will be in the form of a student-led discussion. Rosalie Erwin, president of the Council, will preside at the meeting.
British Author Released
P. G. Wodehouse, British author, has been conditionally released by the French police after being charged with aiding the Germans with broadcasts in 1941.

I have confidence in the fundamental decency of the students of this campus, and in their ability, with the counsel and guidance of University officers to continue and to expand the functions of student government.

the average sports follower might realize. The Tigers surprised the experts last winter by beating the Jayhawkers once during the season to tie the Crimson and Blue for third place in Big Six standings.
Kansas State Potent
Kansas State may prove the big surprise of the '44-'45 season. The Wildcats will be playing their first season under their new coach, Fritz Knorr, and will be a more potent aggregation than last winter. Some outstanding performers on the K-State ASTP squad of last year have reported for practices, and are looking good.
Nebraska, the third all-civilian team, will not be up to her usual pre-war status, of course. The Cornhuskers, who with the Aggies rounded the second division last winter, are generally given little chance of rising very far this year. Jayhawk Team Is Dark Horse
This leaves only the Jayhawks unaccounted for. Although Crimson and Blue hopes are fairer than last December, things still do not have too rosy a glow. "Phog" Allen has one regular and three other lettermen back, which is more than the two returning veterans last year. Regular Charlie Moffett, who was the workhorse of the Crimson and Blue backfield this fall, is currently recuperating from the season in the hospital. How soon the flashy forward will be able to take the court is a matter of conjecture, but it is certain none too soon. How well the first year men perform this winter will undoubtedly have the most to do with Kansas' title hopes.
Before selecting the winner, we choose to wait until all the teams have been in action. "Phog" Allen has performed miracles on the bas-betball court in past years, and the old magic may be working again this winter.
The Chi Omega's reversed the predicted outcome of their volleyball game with the Gamma Phi's and emerged the winners 27-13 last night.
Chi O Victorious In Division Finals
Nettels and Coolidge, along with Kreider who earned 7 points for her team, kept the points rolling in on the Chi Omega score sheet. The half time score 12-8 made the game appear close but the Chi O' pulled ahead and considerably widened that margin during the last half of the game. The Gamma Phi's were being rushed out of position, two players going for the same ball in many instances and in general showing a below average performance.
This victory over the Gamma Phi's gives the Chi O's their chance to take the volleyball championship if they can defeat the IWW's in their game at 7:30 tomorrow night in the gymnasium.
Twente Will Attend Labor Conference in Topeka
Dr. J. W. Twente, dean of the School of Education, will attend the Kansas Conference of Labor and Education which will meet Dec. 2, in Topeka.
At the end of the afternoon session, Dr. Twente will summarize the points made, and answer questions raised in conference. The meeting is being sponsored by the Kansas State Federation of Labor and the Kansas State Teachers Association.

Women Will Start Intramural Basketball
Approximately 20 teams will participate in the women's intramural basketball season, it was learned at a meeting of intramural managers in Robinson gymnasium yesterday afternoon.
The teams will be divided into four leagues with either four or five teams each depending upon the exact number of teams which participate. Due to the large number of squads, it will be necessary that each be allowed only one hour a week for practice. All entry blanks should be returned to the intramural office as soon as possible. Miss Ruth Hoover, of the department of physical education, has announced.
The first game will be on Dec. 12.
O'Conner Is Slated To Replace Landis
Landis was always outspoken in his praise of O'Connor, and the two men were always good friends. To O'Connor has fallen most of the heavy burden of office work, investigations, and the like.
The prominent figure slated for appointment to Kenesaw Mountain Landis post of high commissioned of baseball, vacated by the untimely death of the "indispensable" man last Saturday, is Leslie O'Connor, present secretary of the commissioner's office.
Other men who have been mentioned for the job include Joe E. Brown of motion picture fame; Billy Evans, president of the Southern Association; George Weiss, manager of the Yankee farm system; Sid Mercer, veteran baseball writer; and Avery Brundage, A.A.U. and Olympic committeeman.
