Sportorials
By Charles Moffett
Because of the accelerated wartime program which has students going to school the year round, especially the navy, Coach Ray Kanehl of the track team would like very much to continue the sport all summer. With possibly two or three exceptions, the track team is part of the navy program, so Kanehl would have a strong nucleus for his summer squad.
However, there are no big meets close enough for the Jayhawks to attend and surrounding teams do not seem to want to continue. It's really too bad, because the Kanehlmen had just seemed to hit their stride in the Big Six meet and were due for even bigger things if they only had a chance. The cindermen were imporving with each meet and showed no signs of retarding their pace. Several of the squad are still working out in hopes they may get some more chances to compete.

Since last Saturday we have been wondering what became of the proposed plan to ban navy trainees from participating on Big Six athletic teams. As rumor went, the question was supposed to be discussed at the conference board meeting in Lincoln last weekend, but the report that came from the Cornhusker city contained no information on the subject.

Carl Hird, former University football letterman, stationed at the Olathe air base, has turned his interests toward boxing and has evidently met with success. Last night at the North Side American Youth Club's arena in Kansas City, Mo., he won a decision in a thrilling battle over a fellow sailor from Olathe. The victory gave Hird, who tips the scales at 203, the heavyweight championship of the base. The bout was witnessed by 2,500 fans.

Cabinet to Preserve Valuable Newspapers
To preserve valuable editions of old newspapers a new file cabinet has been added to the equipment of the journalism department. The large wooden case contains 12 compartments in which the papers will be kept.
L. N. Flint, professor in the department for nearly 40 years, has made a collection of unusual papers including many first editions, one containing an account of President Lincoln's assassination, a copy of the only paper in the country printed with offset lithography, and many other valuable papers. Until now there has been no permanent place to store them.

A. L. Seelye Spends Day on Campus
Visiting the campus yesterday, Alfred L. Seelye, OPA official, saw the University for the first time since he left two years ago to accept the position of price analyst of the regional OPA office in Dallas, Texas. This was his first vacation in two years.
Now on leave from the University, Mr. Seelye has charge of distribution and marketing studies for this region. Matters concerning wholesale and retail prices for six states in this region are under his direction. He joined the University faculty in 1939 as assistant professor of marketing in the School of Business.
Mr. and Mrs. Seelye were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Waters during their short stay here. They returned to Dallas last night.

"Progressive Student Government. The Progressive Student Government League, who conceived the new Constitution, and the Progressive Women's Cooperative League, who guided the Council through its first difficult year, have allied themselves for the purposes of promoting strong and responsible student government. We have selected candidates who are pledged to this goal and welcome the expression of student views and wishes.
"A Friendly Campus, PWCL-PSGL predominately independent parties, will work to establish new and better ways for Independent and Greek students to meet and work together.

"Co-operative Movement. We pledge ourselves to continue our support for the expansion of the co-operative movement on the campus and to work for that advancement. Co-operative housing and co-operative bookstore, both early projects of our parties, are essential to a dynamic campus.
"Handball and Tennis Courts. PWCL-PSGL will make every effort to provide new handball courts for the University and to secure adequate upkeep for the present tennis courts.
"Activity Fee. Having investigated the matter thoroughly according to a provision in the party platform of 1943, PWCL-PSGL takes a definite stand for the lowering of the student activity fee. Wartime restrictions on activities warrant a reduced fee.
"School Spirit. PWCL-PSGL pledges itself to promote increasingly elaborate pep rallies, with accompanying student social functions following varsity games—generally renewing the traditions of the University. We will sponsor an active Traditions Committee of the Council.
We also sponsor student participation in the distribution of the activity fee among the various organizations."
