Need Great For Handball Courts Allen Says
"The University of Kansas is sadly lacking in adequate play facilities," commented Dr. Forrest C. Allen today. Dr. Allen explained that he had handball especially in mind when he made this statement.
Dr. Allen will welcome ideas as to how the money might possibly be raised. He believes that the ardent handball fans might be willing to contribute a little toward this goal.
Quoting Dr. Allen, "I have long hoped that we might have concrete handball courts, and as the present courts will have to be replaced in a few years, this would be the logical time to start thinking about them. The old courts have been repaired and repainted with department funds, but we do not have the adequate funds to build new courts."
"Doc" Allen was instrumental in the building of the eight present handball courts. Originally, there were eight courts, four open-air ones and four wooden courts. The openair courts have since rotted away. Dr. Allen pointed out that the remaining four wooden courts are now in a critical condition.
Handball is a great conditioner and a eleven-month outdoor game. Many faculty members as well as students avail themselves of the University's facilities. If funds could be raised, the University has enough room, at the present location of the courts, to build eight new concrete courts.
Sound the Call For Participants In Intramurals
Intramural competition will be held in badminton, handball, and horse-shoes, in addition to golf and tennis this year. All-university tournaments were held last year for the first time in golf and tennis. This year's program plans to include tournaments in these new sports
A call for every independent student to participate in these sports has been sent out by Dr. E. R. Elbel, head of the University's intramural program. Everyone interested should register at once in the intramural office in Robinson gymnasium. The program will be similar to that of last year.

With Cliff Speegle and Novel Wood gone, the Sooners will depend upon letterman Jack Marsee and five sophomores. If the Oklahoma coaching staff can find a good center, the Sooner worries are about over.

Harp Shows Championship Form
Ft. Riley, Kansas.-September 16.
—(Special to the Kansan)—An All-American from the University of Kansas is not letting the alma mater down in his army service.

The former University athletic star is concluding his training period this month at the nation's only selectee training camp in military horsemanship. Spending his days in horsemanship drills, weapons instructions and combat training, Trooper Harp has quickly exhibited the form and abilities that made
Pvt. Richard F. Harp, former N.C.A.A. All-American basketballer, is now taking his basic military training at the Cavalry Replacement Training Center, Ft. Riley, Kansas, and the manner in which he has given his service is a credit to the "K."
One of the most vital alternatives and consequent decisions facing American youth, Malott pointed out, is that of intervention or isolation in the present world conflict.

"Each of you is now capable of reading about, and discussing the great international events of the moment. Each of you has a responsibility, as a citizen of this privileged land, of holding opinions and of defending them vigorously. For this is the very essence of our democracy. You face the alternative of establishing ir your mind your own attitudes as to our national policy in these days of swift moving events. You have something to defend in this American heritage of yours.

The Chancellor warned the stu-
"Powerful arguments point to the necessity of a unified and strong foreign policy backed by a united people. You as students have an obligation to study the problem through and to become a part of public sentiment on this critical question. . . The alternatives in national affairs are squarely before you. As a leaping flame may in a few seconds destroy a painting which required many years to perfect, as the thrust of a bayonet may blot out the genius of a poet who for decades has been building up his powers of expression, so a brief wave of hysteria, of failure to face facts, and to think things through, may spell disaster for a civilization which has been centuries in the building.
Dick Harp
Harp was one of the finest guards Kansas has turned out in recent years. A choice on Big Six all-star selections for three seasons, Harp climaxed his career by flashing a brilliant performance in his teams 43 to 42 victory over the University of Southern California in the 1940 N.C.A.A. Western Finals. Harp held All-American Ralph Vaughann to six points and gathered high scoring honors for Kansas with six goals and three free throws.
He also played on two Big Six champion teams in his three years at Kansas.
Appointment Card Furnished Freshmen
New students have been expected for a number of years to meet these requirements, but never before have the requirements been published on one card.
"It is hoped that the appointment card will lessen the confusion in the
mind of the new student because of the definiteness with which each appointment is made. It is also possible, by listing all the appointments on one card, to eliminate any conflict in the required activities in which a new student must participate," James K. Hitt, acting registrar, said.
An official appointment card, issued from the registrar's office, is being furnished to freshmen and new students for the first time this year. The card constitutes the student's official permit to register in the University, and in addition, carries appointments, specific as to time and place, for the required psychological test, physical examination, dean's meeting, and enrollment.
No new student will be permitted to enter the University without his official appointment card, and only when he has fulfilled all the appointments on the card is he considered to be officially matriculated in the University. Also carried on the card are announcements of the various orientation meetings of Freshman Week, which all new students are expected to attend.

"If we find security today, we may find it only within oursives. Do not hunt for it elsewhere. There is little security, but much adventure, in the world today. He who thinks he seeks security, will find that he has usually chosen mediocrity instead."
