Iowa Instructors Are Amazed Pamphlet A Best-Seller
Des Moines, Iowa—(UP)—Two high school instructors here are a little amazed by the whole thing as they watch their 98-page pamphlet for use in social science classes invading the best-seller field.
Earl Kalp and Robert Morgan, teachers at Roosevelt high school, had no idea of writing a best seller, but since "Democracy and Its Competitors" came out Sept. 1, almost 50,000 copes have been sold.
Really Not a Book
"Democracy and Its Competitors" which really isn't a book, but cardboard bound pamphlet, was intended to be a classroom guide for high school students in social science.
It is the "baby" of the committee on experimental units of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Several years ago this committee, which is headed by J. E. Stone-cipher, director of senior high schools in Des Moines, decided to make available a series of inexpensive study guides in current problems.
Began Five Years Ago
Kalp, who is 39 years old, began teaching what turned out to be the basis for the "best-seller" five years ago. Later he was joined by Morgan, who is 25.
Presentation of material in "Democracy and Its Competitors" is straightforward and uncomplicated. There is a chapter on the long conflict between democracy and dictatorship. In this chapter the authors scan the history of the last three centuries and condense it into four and a half pages.
Need Nickel Dictionary
Then there is a chapter giving workable definitions of words used and misused much today—such as reciprocal trade agreements, totalitarianism, and anti-Semitism. This chapter is headed by a cartoon which points out that "what this
Seven To Big Six Swim Meet
Seven members of the Jayhawk swimming team and Coach James Raport left this morning for Lincoln where they will participate in the Big Six swimming meet today and tomorrow afternoon.
Nebraska rates as favorite to grab the conference crown from defending champion, Iowa State, but Kansas State with nine victories in dual meets may pull the surprise of the affair. The Wildcats defeated Iowa State by a narrow margin, but lost to Nebraska.
With only Joe Morton returning from last year's point winners, Kansas is given little chance of climbing from their fifth place in the meet held at Ames last year.
The Jayhawk tanksters who left for Nebraska this morning include Bill Mackie, Earl Musser, Joe Morton, Paul White, Ed Moses, Dan La-Shelle, and Gene Nelson.
country needs is a good nickel dictionary."
Next the authors compare England, France, and the United States with Germany, Italy and Russia. The writing is simple and factual, and numerous other books are listed if the readers want to delve more deeply into the subject.

TITLE TIE—
Totals
(continued from page four) morrow night's contest, the Huskers could do much toward assuring themselves of a possible share in the conference title as they would finish the season with a seven and
three record.
A Kansas victory would in turn assure it of at least a tie for the loop crown and leave the Jayhawkers with two more chances of grabbing a clear claim to the title when they meet Iowa State in Ames on March 3 and Oklahoma here March 7.
No Lineup Changes
Starting for the Huskers in an anticipated soldout collision in all probability will be Jack Thompson and John Fitzgibbons at forwards, Al Randall, a six-foot seven-inch pivot, and Sid Held and Don Fitz at guards.
In addition to Buescher, Jay-hawker coach "Phog" Allen indicated that he would stick by his regular guns. T. P. Hunter or Vance Hall will team with Howard Engleman at the opening forward slots with John Kline and Marvin Sollenberger on the back line.
Other Kansas men making the trip include Ed Hall, Charles Walker, Norman Sanneman, and Bob Allen.

Of course the Doctor told him that the contest long ago had been sold out, but the point remains that the southerners are mighty interested in the contest even though it is a late season non-conference affair . . .
All of which makes one think that if any new field houses are handed

WHEN BASKETBALL bouquet tossing commences at the end of the current season, persons in the Big Six area should not fail to heave a posy in the direction of Missouri's George Edwards, who has done a masterful coaching job with as thin a lot of Tiger basketball material as has been seen in years . . . With nothing to write home about even at the first of the year, the veteran Bengal head was forced to swallow the bitterest court pill of the winter when two of his regulars fouled out in the scholastic tussle and a third turned up soon after with a foot injury . . . Despite these handicaps the Missourians have been a tough nut to crack in every conference contest this year . . . Tigers, who have won but one game in nine league starts, will wind up against O.U.'s Sooners in Columbia Saturday night.
London—(UP)—At the risk of their lives, two young doctors saved a London hospital when a bomb fell in the isolation ward without exploding. Placing the bomb in a portable bathtub, which they padded with sacking, they carried it to a neighboring field.
