Letters to the Editor
Editor:
I would like to express my opinion on the physical conditioning courses at the University.
First, I would like to say something about conditions in the dressing rooms. There is not enough room to take care of the number of students that are put through these courses every day. Conditions in the dressing rooms are very unsanitary, namely, the floor is always wet and dirty, there are never enough windows open to provide sufficient fresh air, and in general the whole place stinks.
About a week ago the physical education department decided to put some athlete's foot prevention powder in the dressing rooms. Now that everybody has a good case of athlete's foot, the department decides to have a prevention campaign. My case of athlete's foot has already spread to my hands. We needed this preventive at the beginning of the year, while now we need a cure.
Second, I would like to say just a little about the way the courses are run. At the beginning of the semester they worked us hard for two weeks. Then we had a nice rest period for about six weeks with everybody just taking it easy. Suddenly the instructors decided to give us a good work out again. The results were that everybody was stiff and sore the next day, and nearly everybody had a nice sweet cold because their cold-fighting resistance had been torn down almost completely. These classes have been operated that way all semester. Now what good will a program of this sort do the students? It has done me no good, in fact I have been very disgusted with the program.
I am in V-7 and I have heard that next semester we will be required to take five days of physical conditioning. I am not objecting to this program because I believe in good hard physical exercise, but why can't the department give us a program that will be of benefit to the students in the classes? I do hope that the Physical Education Department will give this matter a little consideration before the classes begin next semester.
Yours truly,
Richard Riedel

Frantic Pleas Fail ★★★ No Quarantine
The coeds of 1244 Louisiana thought they had solved the ever-present problem of how to postpone finals when one of their number awoke some time ago with a face suspiciously speckled. A doctor, hurriedly summoned, sadly intoned a verdict of measles, and departed hastily to inquire about quarantine possibilities for the 19 girls in the house.
Despite the heart-rending pleas of the house members for a two week's quarantine period, the city health board decided there would be no quarantine unless another case developed.

Werner Reports On Granting Of Federal Loans
A total of 78 loans amounting to $18,018 has been granted thus far by the Federal Loan Committee to students participating in the accelerated school program, Henry Werner, chairman of the committee reported. Forty-five of these are new loans to begin next semester; the others have been granted previously.
This sum has been apportioned as follows: to three chemistry majors, $514; 16 engineers, $4,390; 56 medical students, $12,530; and three pharmacy majors, $84. Physics majors are eligible for federal loans in accordance with the 1943 Appropriation Act, but none have applied.
Mr. Werner said that $10,039 is now available for loans, and the indications are that this will not be sufficient to meet the prospective demands.
Must Attain Standards
Loans from government funds can be made only to full-time students enrolled in an approved accelerated program who, in the judgment of the institution, can complete their technical and professional education within two years after the first loan. Borrowers must also attain and continue to maintain standards of scholarship ordinarily accepted as satisfactory by the University. Committee Must Approve
Members of the Federal Loan Committee at the University, who must approve all applications which receive grants, are Henry Werner, chairman; Dr. William G. Gordon, medical school representative from the teaching staff in Kansas City; Prof. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine; Prof. Loren Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology; Prof. D. D. Haines, assistant professor of civil engineering; and Prof. F. E. Kester, professor of physics.
STUDENT COURT---
(continued from page six) posed, amendment in a special Sunday morning meeting.
After an exciting beginning, the Student Court lapsed into a semester of concern over traffic cases, and not until January 1327, that another case of interest arose. Max Yost, a student, was charged with striking another student because of a decision the latter had made during the course of an intramural basketball game. Later in the year six University students and one former student were fined and put on strict probation as penalty for raiding the Kansas State College campus, Nov. 9.
The first case before the Student Court, with Charles Lyons as chief justice, was the investigation and subsequent trial of August Anneberg who allegedly threw a tear gas bomb at a peace mobilization, April 22, 1936. Anneberg denied participation in the affair. Conflicting testimony made a second trial necessary, and finally Anneberg was absolved of all blame on May 11.
A smoking violator, Charles Clement, college freshman, was tried a year ago, and sentenced to a 30-day suspension from school. Besides parking and traffic cases, nothing of vital interest has developed since then until the riot before Christmas.

County Clerk's Duty To Register Brands
Peoria, Ill. — (INS) — Illinois cowboys, if any, can ride their pintos into Peoria now and apply for a job at the Bar-X ranch.
County clerk L. E. Sours, and his deputies, gasped when George W. Miller, living near Peoria, walked in and casually stated he'd like to register his cattle brand—the Bar-X.
Came then a hurried thumbing of the statutes, and they found that sure enough the legislature in 1872 designated county clerks as legal custodians of files on cattle brands. But it was Pooria county's first registration under the act—and perhaps the first in the state.
New Curriculum For Geologists
To meet the demand for an accelerated course in geology by students who will not be able to complete the regular four-year requirements, the school of geology at the University of Oklahoma is offering a shortened curriculum for office geologists. This curriculum may be completed in three semesters. It is not designed to lead to a degree, but will prepare students for positions as office geologists with oil companies.
