Kansan Activity Ticket Reserve Fund
Both the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A., it is evident, failed to recognize and thus failed to consider all the factors involved in the requested appropriation from the activity ticket reserve fund to the Athletic association. In the fact that their disagreement on the appropriation was the first in history lies strong indication of lack of complete information on the important subject. The absence of a thorough investigation, therefore, demands that both groups reconsider the request.
Blame for the failure to give the question a thorough airing, however, cannot be assigned wholly to the student legislators. Both Councils—particularly the W.S.G.A.—are partly at fault for their apparent indifference. But much of the censure is due sponsors of the request, who seem to have neglected to present fully the aspects of a significant problem.
The demand by both Councils that any appropriation they approve be used only for spring sports misses that basle problem. That problem is not the purpose for which the Athletic association desired to use the sum; it is a problem involving several distinct factors, each of which deserves serious consideration.
Factors Involved
Paramount among these factors is the question: Can the $1,800 be put to another use which would result in greater long-time benefits for a larger number of students? Since the requested amount would take more than three-fourths of the reserve—including expected additions next semester—this factor of relative benefit gains added weight. Although it formed the basis for what little discussion the Men's Student Council gave the proposal, the W.S. G.A. ignored the question entirely. But it should be analyzed more intensively by the men and should receive complete attention by the women.
The second question, one which merits equally thorough evaluation by the Councils, is: Are students already bearing an equable financial share of the athletic program? It is the responsibility of the student legislators not only to decide this question; they must first determine if student contributions to athletics have an important relevancy in the present controversy. It rests with the Councils, moreover, to conclude whether inadequacy of student financial support—if any—should be remedied by an appropriation from the activity reserve fund.
Thirdly, by approving the appropriation, the Councils would set two precedents which might prove both embarrassing and dangerous on future occasions. There is, first of all, the precedent of voting money from the reserve fund to the Athletic association. Regardless of the merits of the present request, there is no assurance that similar appropriations will not be sought in ensuing years. At future times, then, the Councils would be told of "the action in 1940" and might decide on that basis rather than on issues of the specific case. The depletion of the reserve fund to a unique low by the size of the appropriation establishes a second precedent. After next semester's allotment to the fund has been made, the total will be $2,300. If the request of athletic officials is granted, the fund would be cut to $250, which amount would not be increased until next fall. Such a precedent violates the original conception of the minimum to which the fund should be drawn. Again, it remains the duty of the legislators to decide the potential dangers of those precedents.
The purpose of the provision for the reserve fund, finally, is a question that cannot be minimized. In the bill establishing the activity ticket, a clause read:
" . . . and 80.15 (from each ticket each semester) to a reserve fund to be used and distributed by the Central (Activities) Committee subject to the jurisdiction of the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. in taking care of any deficits which may occur and in sponsoring any other activities which the Councils shall deem desirable. . . "
Before they arrive at any conclusion, the Councils should attempt to ascertain if the fund was intended only for emergency or otherwise merited grants to organizations that do not receive direct benefits from the ticket; or if the reserve was established only for participants in the ticket; or if both classes of organizations and activities were to have access.
Must Reopen
Comment
As demonstrated by these four contributing factors, the request for an appropriation contained issues of greater significance than the Councils recognized. Half-e cognizance of these issues was shown by the Men's Student Council. None whatsoever was exhibited by the Women's Self Governing Association. Since the governing bodies constitute the mechanism by which student sentiment is expressed, decision on the appropriation must be as intelligent as sincere investigation will permit.
★ ★ ★
But in the present case, that investigation was limited because vital sources of information on the question were not freely available to the students on whose shoulders the decision rested. Sponsors of the bill did not indicate sufficiently the crisis-aspects of the situation which was made the basis for the request. A full report of discussion by the Central Activities Committee was not made.
In recognition of the fact that important phases of the appropriation were not analyzed—for whatever reason—the decision must be reconsidered by both Councils. The question must be reopened in fairness both to the student body and to the Athletic association.

Volleyball Is Most Popular Women's Intramural Sport
By Betty Bridges, c.11 There are more than 1,350 entries in women's intramural sports each year. This number indicates that the women students of the University of Kansas certainly do not take a "back seat" to men when it comes to enthusiasm in sports.
Women's intramurals, now under the direction of Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor in the department of physical education, have been a part of student life on the Hill since 1918. At that time basketball was the only sport participated in by women and girls in the 12 athletic activities engaged in throughout the year by the women athletes on the campus.
Basketball Is Man's Game
Volleyball leads the field as being the most popular sport among the women, believes Miss Hoover. The probable reason for this, she says, is that volleyball is a game with most girls are able to learn equally and can play well.
With every organized house and hall as well as several independent groups, participating in intramurals, competition is always keen. The Pi
Basketball holds a prominent place in mid-winter, but women will have to admit that it is a man's game, and women cannot play it with the adeptness men have. Other competitive sports of the women's intramural program include tennis, golf, horseshoes, handball, deck tennis, archery, ping pong swimming, darts, and baseball.
Phi's, last year's champions, are again leading the field in number of points. With such girls as Virginia Anderson, last year's individual point winner, and Denny Lemoyne, an efficient little athlete, they will be sure of leading the other organizations a good race.
The Kappa's, featuring the athletic Irwin sisters-Jane, Ellen, and Shirley—are pressing the Pi Phi hard for first place. Two other sister combinations from the Kappa house who are assets to that organization are the Johnsons-Doria Mary and Mary Bett and Betty Dodge.
