UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS STUDENT PAPER NIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
39th YEAR
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 1941
NUMBER 9
Skorga Increases Lead 16 StudentsEntered
Henry Skorga leaped further into the lead today as the Kansan's Holiday Excursion contest began to look like a Skorga walkaway.
When he was notified that it looked as though he would be taking the free trip to the Rose Bowl game in California during Christmas vacation Skorga was overwhelmed. He credited interested friends who are working for him with putting him in the lead.
Skorga has never been to California although he says he has traveled in the East.
When asked if he had any predictions to make concerning who he might see playing in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day Skorga was non-committal. He explained that he had been so busy working he had no time to follow football in the Kansan.
Skorga is a freshman in the college although he is a second year man on the Hill. He transferred over to the College from the School of Fine Arts and in so doing lost credits keeping him classified as a freshman.
The men's leader in the contest is employed as a waiter at the Memorial Union building fountain.

Members of the University staff interested in the exchange positions may secure further details from the office of the Chancellor.
These broadcasts will be conducted by John Bondeson, program director at WREN, who will rove through Brick's with a portable microphone, quizzing the students with questions, some catchy or tricky, and some of a more serious nature.
Faculty Steps In On Political Battle
In their fight to wrest the control of the Men's Student Council away from the Pachacamac party, the Progressive Student Government League will place their complaints before a faculty committee of three men. The committee will be chosen this afternoon by Henry Werner, adviser of men Bob Marietta, man behind the scenes in P.S.G.L.; and Dave Watermulder, Pachacamac president of the Men's Student Council. They will meet in Werner's office at 3:30.
Each student will be asked several questions including his name, home-town, and academic pursuit's.
Arrangements are now underway to make the broadcast daily instead of three times a week. The first program will be Monday.
The office of Chancellor Deane W. Malot recently received an announcement from the U. S. Office of Education requesting the names of faculty members who would be interested in having their names up for exchange professorships under the convention for the promotion of inter-American cultural relations.
A crowd of nearly 250 students attended the rally at the Santa Fe station at noon today to cheer the team as they left for Philadelphia to meet the Temple Owls. The rally lasted for 20 minutes.
Offer Exchange Professorships
Coach Gwinn Henry, Dr. J. B. Smith of the athletic board, and Hub Ulrich, senior end, spoke to the group between yells and songs
Asks Students to Register
Marvin Goebel, secretary of the Employment Bureau, today requested all students registered at the bureau who had not filed with him their Lawrence address and class schedule, to do so at once. He stressed that already many such students had failed to receive positions because of their failure to leave the needed information.
The committee will be composed of the members of the University Senate and will listen to the arguments presented by a representative of each party sometime tomorrow. The decision of the committee as to whether the appointment of Dave Whitney, Pachacamac Council member, is constitutional or not will be final.
Pachacamac Opens Frosh Campaign
The society of Pachacamac will open the freshman political campaign with its annual freshman smoker in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 8 o'clock Tuesday night.
John Milton Phillips, past president of Pachacamac, and several other out-of-town speakers will give short talks on politics on the Hill and how the Pachacamac party works. Each Pachacamac member of the council will be called upon.
All new men on the hill, especially freshmen, are invited to attend the get together. Clder and doughnuts will be served.
At the morning rally in front of Robinson Gym about 500 students gathered around the stand to take an active part in the first rally of the year on the Hill. In the ten minute session the cheerleaders lead the group in several yells and the senior back, Ralph Miller, gave a short talk on the team. Miller told the students that he was sure that the school would be proud of the team even if they did not win every game on their schedule.
The team will return from Philadelphia Sunday at 5:46 p.m. Roy Edwards, head cheerleader, requested that everyone who could possibly be there to welcome the team home to be at the Santa Fe Station at that time.
Ellsworth Defends College Athletes
In an article recently published by The Blue Diamond, publication of the Kansas City Athletic club, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, defends the intelligence of college athletes.
The article, entitled "Ex-College Athletes Do Make Good" was written. Ellsworth says, in reply to a previously printed article which cast aspersions on the mental ability of athletes.
The author points out in his argument prominent men in greater Kansas City who engaged in sports. Included in his list of athletic heroes who have made a success of their after-school life were Ted and Dorman O'Leary, Thomas Cooke, Frank Mandeville, and other former University of Kansas stars.
In closing Ellsworth wrote: "And so we say—hats off to athletics, moulder of successful men everywhere . . . and we'll even give the sportwriters their due!"
