Phi Psi's Lead Intramural Race
Point standings of the various teams in this year's intramural play show Phi Kappa Psi leading in the race for the sweepstakes trophy, with Phi Delta Theta ten points behind in second place. Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Pi, the Blanks, and Delta Tau Delta follow in that order.
Seventy-five points divided by the number of games on the schedule were awarded for each basketball game played, and the same number for each contest won. Softball and football will be scored in the same manner, but only sixty points divided by the number of games were counted for volleyball. Additional points are awarded teams which advance to the play-offs.
A trophy will be given the team with the most points at the end of the year.

Iowa State seems to be the power in Big Six track circles this year. The Cyclones won the conference indoor meet and will be top heavy favorites to repeat in the outdoor meet to be held Saturday at Lincoln. Kansas has at least one of the top three teams in the Big Six but was able to give the Cyclones no serious trouble in their dual meet last Saturday at Ames. Of course, the Jayhawks had only fifteen men competing while Iowa State had several more which enabled them to pick up several seconds and thirds quite frequently.
Oklahoma may be able to give the Cyclones a fight for the conference but the Sooners are as weak in the field events as the Jayhawks are in the middle distances. Oklahoma wasn't going to make the Lincoln journey because of navy regulations, but when questions began to be asked as to why they had never come up before and how the Sooners made the basketball trip back East with players who were forced to report late to their new stations, the southern school found some way to make the trip.
Missouri may be able to swing a surprise Saturday, for little is known of their strength at the present time. The Iowa Seahawks defeated the Tigers by a rather large score last week. And Iowa State scored an upset victory over the Seahawks, which just proves further how powerful the Cyclones are.

Max Kissell, former athlete at KU is still setting a fast pace in athletics. During the past season Kissell played on three service teams. First at Albuquerque, N.M.; then at Athens, Ga., on Lt. "Chuck" Finley's fine Skycracker team which Kissell captained much of the time; and then closed the season at the Ottumwa Air Base where Lt. Eddie Hickey, former Creighton basketball coached. Kissell, rated tops by Lt. Hickey, also captained the championship base five, racking up 18 points in the final game.
Kissell was a letterman in both basketball and track while at the University, and still has another year of college competition.
May 22 Designated As Maritime Day
President Franklin D. Roosevelt has called upon the people of the United States to observe National Maritime Day May 22 by displaying flags at their homes and other suitable places, and has directed that the flag be displayed on all government buildings on that day.
In commemoration of the sailing from Savannah, Ga., on May 22, 1819, of the Savannah, the first steam-propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic, May 22 of each year was designated as National Maritime Day. This resolution was approved by Congress on May 20, 1933.
The Post Office Department has announced a three-cent stamp, called the Steamer City of Savannah stamp, in commemoration of

"Ah, to be in England, now that spring's there," is a quotation that probably occurs frequently to 19-year-old David Clyde, junior premedicine student at the University of Kansas. Clyde, the son of a British surgeon, left England in 1940, "just before the Blitz the Jerries considerately waited for me to leave," and has been in the United States ever since.
KU Medic Is English, Born in India But Headed for US Army
"I'm very fond of America," he explains in clipped, carefully-chosen syllables, "but I'll be glad to get back to England."
Not that he's actually homesick, he explains quickly. "I haven't really had a home since I was seven." Clyde was born in Meerut, India, in 1925. His father was an officer in the Indian Medical Service, and the family home was wherever he was stationed.
"But my older sister was at school in England, so my mother and I would go to see her quite often. I made five or six trips to England before I was seven."
At the age of seven Clyde himself was sent to an English school in Sussex. He entered Marlborough College in Wiltshire at 13, and remained there for two years. War had broken out meantime, and Clyde's parents, still in India, felt it best for him to go to live with an uncle in Kansas City, Mo. He reached Halifax in August, 1940, and entrained for Kansas City.
In Kansas City with his uncle, Thomas Clyde, he began high school as a senior. The next year he went to Kansas City, Mo., Junior College. He enrolled at KU, in September, and expects to get his degree in medicine at the University—"God and the American Army willing."
Clyde is subject to American selective service laws and will probably be inducted in November into the Army Specialized Training Unit as a medical student. He has no objection to entering the American service. "After all, we're fighting for the same things," he says.
Clyde has to check every three months with Washington "on all sorts of alien problems. They keep pretty close watch on me. No, they don't think me a suspicious character. I'm just a character."
After the war Clyde plans to return to England or to India and enter the medical service, in which his father is now a lieutenant colonel. He has not seen either parent since 1339.
Clyde considers himself quite

OTD Approves Taxi Joint-Action Plan
The Office of Defense Transportation has approved more than 100 joint-action taxicab plans under its taxicab conservation program to be put into operation throughout the nation, the ODT announced today.
Action Here Soon
R. C. Coleman, regional director of the ODT's Division of Motor Transport, said that five plans have been approved in his region, comprising Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Arkansas. An estimated annual saving of 3,548,364 miles has been effected in the four states.
In Lawrence, the plan will probably be put into operation soon, although the details have not been definitely worked out, one of the taxi cab companies has announced.
Mr. Coleman and C.R. Woods, director of ODT's Division of Local Transport in the four states, say that this co-operative action by taxicab owners will result in a fuller utilization of the automobiles and a conservation of many millions of vehicle miles a year. At the same time, it will provide a more efficient taxicab service to the community.
Americanized now, using American slang and enjoying American customs and food. He notes little difference between the two countries, except that Americans are so much less formal.
The joint-action program generally provides for the maintenance of central telephones, elimination of cruising, proportional sharing of expenses incurred by co-ordinating operations, joint employment of street supervisors, and other personnel necessary for co-ordinated service and elimination of unnecessary operating facilities.
