TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THE KANSAN COMMENTS Women Benefit From Required Gym Courses Compulsory athletic training has become the accepted thing for men; why not have required gym courses for all University women regardless of classification? Are women too weak to devote themselves to a program of physical fitness, excellence in sports, and social graces? Is it too unbecoming of the "eternally feminine" to be able to play the returning hero a game of tennis he will actually enjoy? Freshman women and new students at the University have howled long and loud over so-called "command" courses in the past, but few have been heard since, lamenting the fact that they knew how to swim or to fence or play badminton. Few have regretted the added endurance which is theirs as a result of physical conditioning. Days which require so much of women, mentally and spiritually, would surely also require that they have physical co-ordination and control. This might be attained by dashing madly from class to class, but, to the casual observer, it would seem that the only development from such a method is between the knee and ankle. Majors in physical education, those who participate in most sports, seem to get married before any other vocational group of women. But that's a foolish argument. Who wants to be married? Four years of physical education would give more than added happiness and a zest for living, and would not necessarily produce a figure like that of Charles Atlas. Democracy begins in the gym locker room when sorority pins are laid aside with sweaters, and independent airs hung up with jackets. Girls meet girls as persons, not as members or non-members of organizations, and, in working and playing together, learn to understand each other as they have never done before—R.E. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1944 Delegates Return From Co-op Meet Mildred Whitted, College senior; Lois Harkleroad, College sophomore; Luther Buchele, College senior; and John Wetmore, College sophomore, returned Wednesday from Chicago where they spent three days attending the National Co-operative Convention. They were sent as delegates from Harmon and John Moore Co-ops to represent them at the special session of campus co-ops Monday. As representatives of the Central League of Campus Co-ops, they took part in a panel discussion on problems of campus co-ops Monday noon, with students from the Pacific Coast Student League and the Midwest Federation. The students stayed in co-op houses at the University of Chicago. Monday night the John Moore and Harmon Co-ops will have a joint meeting to hear the reports of the delegates. Home Ec Club Has Meeting A large number of women students attended the opening meeting of the Home Economics club yesterday. Hostesses at the get-acquainted tea were Ruth Prentice, president; Jeanne Hollis, vice-president; Katherine Krehbiel, secretary; Thela Stutz, treasurer; and Joanna Wagstaff, social chairman. The date of the next meeting will be announced in the Kansan. Rock Chalk Talk By DIXIE GILLILAND "We've All Got to Sacrifice"—and he did! Prof. Allen Crafton, who, little realizing, made the statement Wednesday evening as he donned black coat, top hat and cigar, for his role as auctioneer for the WSSF—War Fund Drive auction, got a chance to prove he meant it. Placed on the block himself—by popular request—just a few hours later, Professor Crafton found himself switching to a white coat to "pay-off" as a singing waiter at Corbin hall. The Corbinites got their money's worth all right, and report that, after a mere half dozen tries, the professor found a key within range for "My Wild Irish Rose." From the kitchen, however, comes the rumor that Professor C. was more interested in "When does the help cat?" Enjoy It While You May—Also in the dinner-entertainment market since Wednesday's auction are the All Out for Anderson—The girls of 1244 Louisiana are determined to do their bit. Considering the incentive, the bit is rapidly approaching the large-sized-chunk stage. After bidding $20.50 for Sam Anderson's dinner music, the girls began rapid and expansive plans. Professor Anderson, the latest report has it, will offer his services Tuesday night at a dinner at the Colonial. But, to settle the biggest fuss, it has been decided by unanimous approval that the girl giving the most money to the drive will be seated beside Mr. Anderson. Shall we raise the goal? Shall We Push Peanuts?—Boyes of Battenfeld refuse to disclose any kind of information as to what will become of "an hour of anything" from Prof. Hilden Gibson, their prize from the auction block. Considering the plans of a number of out-bid AST's who, before the auction, had had in mind letting Professor Gibson clean a few ovens for them, Battenfeld must have something really large in mind. The garden results; were so suc- Prof. G. W. Smith, chairman of the committee for victory gardens, produced the real prize—A sweet potato measuring five inches in diameter, ten inches long, and weighing four pounds. This fine potato was quite a surprise to Mr. Smith, since he had planted his sweet potato crop in soil which had already produced two crops, peas and Irish potatoes, this year. "Even the usual task of weeding brought the benefits of fellowship and good visits during the summer evenings," pointed out Mr. Smith. "It Was Planned!" — And well it might have been, but hit of Wednesday evening's show was Dean Paul B. Lawson's bid of $27 for a date with Shirley Henry. With Clark Henry and Charles Moffett, who topped the bid for Dr. Lawson's services as chauffeur on a date, the Dean has big things in mind for a red-hot triple date soon. Green beans were the best all-around crop, but tomatoes and lima beans grew well, too. Late plantings of peas, beans, and corn have turned out well for Prof. Elmer Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, and Thomas C. Rythe, director of the University press. Success has been attributed to mother nature, because the growers used no irrigation or extra pampering to raise their bumper crops. boys of Beta Theta Pi, who will be served at dinner some night next week by Dean Henry Werner. When consulted about plans for the evening, the Betas looked puzzled. "Plans? Why, no. We plan to just sit back and—ah, enjoy it." Kansas may not be the garden spot of the world, but it cannot be denied that the victory gardens produced by the University faculty members this year were superior. - * * Thirty-four faculty members and their families took up the garden idea, and not one failure was reported. Big plots of ground were divided into gardens of various sizes. Vegetable varieties came up in such abundance that the growers could refer to their "harvest" in terms of bushels. All Things Come to Those Who Pay — Even tomorrow's English Comp. Just ask Jerry Hamilton, who cinched Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes' promise of a "ghost written" theme. "Oh," groaned Miss Hoopes, when she found one of her pupils had won the bid, "and tomorrow's assignment is just horrible!" Faculty Cultivates V-Gardens Just last week the Beth's were enjoying fresh peas, a good spring crop. Mr. Beth thought that the late green beans tasted even better than the early varieties. The Ryther's hope to be having roasting ears soon if Jack Frost keeps away. - * * * * cessful that Mr. Smith hopes to carry out the plan again. Several persons have already made applications for garden plots for next year.
