PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 1, 1837 Comment In Memoriam-- Five Years Departed Five years ago this morning Dyche museum was declared unsafe and closed, leaving the University without a museum of natural history, leaving many priceless exhibits and objects of interest unavailable to students and to the public. The University last year graduated a class that has never been inside anything but a dismantled and unsafe Dyche. Next spring another such class will be graduated. This is deplorable at the best, but, even worse, probably one or two more classes will be gone before the museum is again opened. Last spring a meager appropriation was made for the purpose of restoring Dyche. That was more than four years after it was closed. Contracts for the work will be awarded by the state, probably in December. This is six months after the appropriation was made. Dyche possibly may be opened in 18 months. That will be almost seven years since it was closed. Unfortunate. The Panthers Howl--- And Justly, Too With the appearance of the "bold hand of commercialism, long suspected in the conduct of collegiate athletes at many universities," brought into the open by the Pitt Panthers, the old issue of athletes' being directly reimbursed for their performances again appears. After all, why should not the actors of the drama share in the fruits of victory? For years commercialism in one form or another has been creeping into collegiate athletics. Few persons object to an athlete's being given a job to maintain himself. Why, then, should the objection to permitting the Panther squad to share in a small way in the monetary gains resulting from their efforts be so great? These boys have worked hard and long to make themselves the team they are. They remember last year's trip when—after their defeat of the Washington Huskies—they were given only $7.50 to attend a dance, and that by the kindness of their coaches, while the defeated Huskies are said to have received $100 "pocket money." Small-wonder they are bitter over the $100,000 given the alma mater for their services in the Rose Bowl game. The game is a post-season game and hardly one to be classified under the heading of "collegiate athletics." If it were a practice of collegiate athletic boards to give their athletes $100 after every inter-collegiate game, the charges of commercialism would be justifiable. However, in a post-season game where the monetary gain to the University is so great, why should not the Pitt Panthers receive a liberal allowance of spending money for the occasion? Letting the Bad Boys Worry President Roosevelt's statement in his press conference last week that he is ready for tax revision when Congress is ready, is one of the most astute moves of a smart President. After seeing Congress kick over the traces in the closing days of the last session, he is not going to give Capitol hill another opportunity to shout "No! No! No!" Rather he is depending upon Congress to supply the affirmative drive for any aid to business in the present severe recession. Meanwhile House and Senate leaders have been unable to agree on even a suitable declaration of policy to allay the fears of business—let alone formulate legislation in conformance with that policy. The long-expected statement from Robert L. Doughton, chairman of the House ways and means committee, was not forthcoming, and Senator Alen W. Barkley, majority floor leader, was at a loss to explain the delay or to issue a statement of his own. The Congress which faces him is one which has taken particular delight in killing measures labeled "administration." Congressional leaders on returning to Washington for the special session have evinced displeasure that there were no administration measures ready to hack to pieces. Roosevelt is no longer going to risk a further split in his party and a decline in his own personal political fortunes by tossing raw meat to the congressional lions. Congress may be expected to muddle along for weeks on end while the business recession continues. Roosevelt meantime will remain aloof until both business and Congress have found a solution or are again willing to recognize his leadership. Catch 'em Young-- Keep 'em Dumb Not content with the rapid expansion of R.O.T.C. units in the colleges of this country, the war department has now started a drive to establish the R.O.T.C. in our high schools, backed by an available federal appropriation of over half a million dollars. Such a scheme might well pass without comment in one of the European dictatorships, but it is to be hoped that the United States will not allow such an open move toward militarism to go into effect unchallenged. In light of the indifference shown by the public as to the matter of the tremendous expansion of the compulsory R.O.T.C. not much can be expected in the way of a mass protest against the establishment of a junior military order. This, however, doesn't make the military movement a good and desirable thing; it merely emphasizes its menace, the menace any organized, militant minority holds for a disorganized majority. "Catch them young and they'll never get wise," is the system employed by Mussolini and Hitler; now it appears that their motto is to come into use in this country. It would seem that the issue of pacifism or militarism is fast coming to a head in America, and the war department awaits the show-down with all the cards held in its own hand. —Cincinnati News-Record Official University Bulletin Notices due at Chancellor's Office at 3 p.m., preceding regular public hearing on Thursday, 4 p.m. at SUNY College for Sunday祭典。 Vol. 35 Wednesday, December 1, 1937 No. 57 AMERICAN STUDENT UNION: The ASU, will hold a meeting at 8 o'clock this evening in the Pine room.

University 'Joes' Renounce 'Janes' for Intramural Sports By H. Woodrow Lindsay, ESSC College Jones on this Campus, if you want to learn how toward sports, find they have very little time to dunk cokes with their girl friends at afternoon and evening jam sessions. According to a statement by Ed Ebel, director of men's intramurals, there are a total of 11 sports in which any University man may locate in the intramural program. By H. Woodrow Lindsay, c'38 These sports include fall and spring track and field meets, touch football, tennis, horseshoes, handball in the fall and spring, volleyball, basketball, playground ball, swimming, water polo, and wrestling. To accommodate these sports, there are leagues in which teams can play regular schedules—both team competition and pyramid and open tournaments. Records to be broken in both track and swimming meets, points to be gained for team championships, and cups and medals to be given winners, all provide plenty of activity for the Joe's on this Hill. "Our primary purpose in having men's intramurals," said Elibel in a recent interview, "is to carry out the idea of continuous competition and to have as many University men exert themselves in the intramural program as possible. Competition Primary Purpose "It isn't," he continued, "to run our program on a statistical basis, but to arrange schedules for team play, and to arrange competition so that when an individual or a team is defeated, it is not out of the running in the particular sport in which it was defeated." The most popular sport in the intramural program is basketball. When men's intramurals were in their first stages, there was an average of 30 teams a year competing. Facilities then provided enough space for the teams to play on the long basketball court in the gym. Owing to rapid growth in teams of 25 have been set. Because of this development, teams now have to play on short courts. Playground ball in the spring has proved to be the second most popular sport, while touch football, which replaced fall playground ball three years ago, is attracting quite a bit of attention. Independent Teams Grow One feature which can be noted is the growth of interest in intramurals by non-fraternity organizations. Each year in basketball there is one league of about 11 or 12 teams made up of players from different colleges. Playground ball also comes in for its share of the independent teams, but in the minor sports the interest has Perfect Pictures--- Perfect Scats--- Perfect Sound--not developed to a very great extent, "B" teams of the various organizations are otherwise known as the second teams of their respective groups. Several years ago, because of the large interest in basketball, "B" teams were organized to give more men a chance to participate in the sport. With the advent of 6-team foulball teams a year earlier several organizations entered "B" teams in addition to their 11-man teams. Men not affiliated with any fraternities were also organized into 6-man teams. DICKINSON N O W Hurry! Hurry! Only 2 More Days! Their Love Is News Again LORETTA YOUNG TYRONE POWER SUNDAY Intramural Training of Value in "SECOND' HONEYMOON' Three years ago, in order to be he keeping with the continuous competition idea, team competition a pyramid tournaments for individuals in tennis, handball, and horseshoes were introduced. This proved popular because it provided an opportunity for more men to participate in intramursals. Intramural track records contain the names of many men who were later some of the country's outstanding track and field stars. This prove the value of intramural training for varsity sports. We Play Only the Pick of the Pictures Other sports which have been introduced and have failed, mainly because of lack of facilities and interest, are boxing, target shooting, ping pong, fooring, speeball, and the anarchy of other boxing matches consisted of a two-mile cross country race between members of the various organizations.

New System For W.S.G.A. Committee Will Revise Method of Nominating Candidates A committee for revising the system of nomination and introduction of candidates for offices in the W.S. G.A. council was elected at a regular meeting last night in the Pine room of the Union building. Those on the committee are Grace Valentine, c'38, Betty Kimble, c'41, Marie Norton, c'40, and Vera Caruthers, ed'38. Feb. 25 has been chosen as the date for the carnival to be sponsored by the council this year. It has been suggested that the system be revised so that an honorary committee may be provided to act on applications for council offices. This plan is to encourage college women to apply for nomination by appearing before the committee instead of submitting signed petitions. The tea which was to be held in the women's louge in Central Administration building December. 15, will not be held in order to encourage all students to attend the Christmas party to be given by the Memorial Union for all University students that afternoon. Men's Intramurals --seven in division "C" and one lone entry was received for a "D" team—Phi Gamma Delta/ Only social fraternities are represented among the three lower divisions, with the two highest professional frats in division "B." PhiGamma Delta, after winning the intramural football championship, has served notice to its rivals that he will not participate in basketball by entering four teams, each under the direction of Jim Morris, who directed the football team. Sixth-three entries have been received from teams that have inten- tively volunteered to participate in the "A" division, which is composed of entries from social and professional groups. Fifteen are entered in the "B" section. Terry's Dress Sale Continues DRASTIC REDUCTIONS On a large assortment of our choicest afternoon and date frocks.
