Intramural Sports Get Full Publicity Says Doctor Allen
Athletic Editorial Mistate the Amateur Situation, Is Declaration of Director
"Although the editorial appearing in the Monday night issue of the Kansas under the title "Men's intramurals," obviously was written by some on who had heard of him sporting intramurals at the University of Kansas, and therefore hardly merits an answer, yet from the fact that the bringing up of the subject presents an ideal opportunity to realize his athletic sports, it is perhaps well to point out the gross misstatements made by the editorial writer," said Dr. F. C. Allen in an interview this morning in regard to the intramural editorial that appeared in the Monday issue of the Daily Kansas.
Department Consider's Program "No claim, let it be understood, is made by the athletic department that the running of intramural athletics will not result in improvement" continued Doctor Allen. "However, it is certain that as organized here intramurals are fully up to the plans under which they are conducted in other sports, this organization has been given to the organizing of our intramural program by the entire athletic staff and has been submitted to the student committee known as the intramural team." The team and reacted that body's approval.
No.115
"The rules, both of competition and for scoring, in all branches of intracurals have been from the start put into printed form. Each organization desiring a copy is furnished with one, and a copy is kept on desk or office chair. For reference by any one who wishes to see it.
Information is Posted
Publicity of schedules and results of all games have been given through posting on the bulletin board in the gymnasium and through the Kannan, so as to the sports editor was able to find space for publication," said Doctor Alben.
"To enumerate the various 'objective' letters asked in the answer paper, giving it to each, would take too much space. It might be well to give a slant on the validity of the whole criticism, by calling attention to the "fourth objection" which states that the number swimming meet and the method of scoring has been kept a secret."
Organizations Know Scores
"The fact is that each organization taking part in the swimming event had to prove that all results were made available to the Kansan, and part of them published by that newspaper. The method of scoring is in the rules adage 'the most memorable' materials were originally organized here."

Engineers Plan Banquet for Tomorrow Evening
Doctor Allen concluded by saying that the department of athlete pays the entire salary of Coach Sale who handles intramural and that they are paid the same as his work, which has always been of the very highest order.
It is expected that the attendance at the annual Engineers' banquet to be held tomorrow evening at 6:00 at the Mascalic temple will be the largest in the history of the event, according to Bill Inner, public manager.

According to Doctor Thwing of Ohio State University, expenses of the 'typical American college have doubled in the last fifty years. This is probably due to the fort and increased amenities of the teachers, he says.

Joint Committee Makes Survey
Joint Committee Makes Survey
The appropriation bill provides for the next biennium expenditures of all educational institutions supported by the state. The ways and means necessary to achieve this image in the state have completed their surveys of the needs of the various state institutions and are now making their recommendations in accordance with their findings.
This year the method of drawing up the appropriation bill has been changed. In the past legislatures, the work was left to the ways and methods of a whole. Two different bills were then drawn up and each committee submitted its bill to the legislative body it represented. These bills were very different and many complications could be put into operation. The bills were both passed on the first presentation and were then sent to a committee which compromised the differences and the bills were amended. This method has proved unsatisfactory and the new method has been adopted.
Nine Elected to Position
The new budget is composed of four members elected from the state ways and means committee, and two members house of house of committees.
Senator C, E. Snyder of Leuvenworm, chairman of the senate ways and means committee, is chairman of the new budget committee. The other members of the committee are Senators, M. G. Vincent of Pittsburgh, Henry M. Laiing of Russell, M. V. R. Van de Mark of Concordia; representatives, William Schoen of Downs, S. W. Hogan of Concordia; planner of Perry, J. R. Stephenson of Fulton and W. V. Jackson of Coldwater.
In accordance with the new plan adopted, these nine legislators are drafting the final measures of the bill and will be introduced in both houses.
