DR. ALLEN EXPLAINS ATHLETIC FINANCES
Building of More Tennis Courts Is Favored by the Coach
FINANCES TO STADIUM
All Available Funds Are Being Used to Hasten Partial Construction
The Kassan is in receipt of the following communication from Dr. F, O Allen, director of athletics.
"The writer desires to reply to your editorial printed in the Wednesday evening edition under the title "Mortennis Courts." We want to assume the student of the University is in very hearty accord with the sentiment contained therein, so that is no fainner game nor one that is suited any better to the physical needs of the average academic student than tennis. It is with the conditions under which the students of the University of Kansas are invited to the department of Athletics operates that this letter is intended.
"The tennis courts that now lie adjacent to McCook Field were built by the Department of Athletics in prewar days when the Athletic Association showed a decided monetary but not competitive interest in businesses consumed this surplus. All available funds and more have been put into the venture of making blue prints, drawing plans and specifications for the new stadium. We are at the present time paying seven per cent interest earned money to finance the projects.
"The function of the department of athletics is to maintain and equip athletic teams. It derives its sustenance wholly from the gate receipts of competitive athletic contests. Every bit of equipment of every nature and every kind must be properly office maintenance come from the athletic treasury. Further, it is the feeling that all earnings of the department of Athletics, whenever there are any, should be returned to the students in the way of new and improved game fields for their benefit. These game fields should include basketball, volleyball and baseball with covering, as well as baseball and soccer football fields.
At the present time work is under wairing repair and resurfacing four tennis courts. This is necessary to take care of our intercollegiate tennis matches and at the same time, to afford recreation for the students of the University when the courts are not used by the Varsity players. Due to this reason, the tennis club has agreed to pay their pronta toward the maintenance of two of these four courses for the privilege of using them. It is planned to revive tennis as much as possible and matches with Missouri, Oklahoma, as well as the entry in the Mississippi Valley Tennis Tournament at St. Louis, May 27 and 28, and perhaps lesser matches with Missouri, Oklahoma, as well as the Baker and Ottawa will be staged. Our first home Valley clash will be with the Oklahoma champions May 7th.
"The department of physical education which is open to the entire student body in a physical recursive way, is the department to which the students should go with their petitions for more tennis courts. We are

sure that Dr. Nalimith of that department is just as anxious to see more tennis courts as we are, but the decision to build this matter. The inadvisability of building more tennis courts on the site of McCook Field and its adjacent territory is due to the fact that the location is due to the placement by the placement of the new stadium.

"We are sure the students will bear with us when it is learned that the Athletic Department, in an endeavor to have at least a part of the stadium ready for the next football season is using all available money toward that stated before we are piling seven per cent for borrowed money to carry on.
"Yours for clean wholesome outdoor exercise for every student in the University when possible.

They will ask release from the present high railroad rates, amendment of the Esch-Cummins law in the interests of the public and the consumer, a curb on grain gambling, emergency tariff and tax revision, and national aid to the co-operative buying plan.
Miss Ora Webb of the department of home economics was the guest of honor at a dinner party given by Miss Elizabeth Sprague, professor of home economies, at Wiedemann's Wednesday event. She announced her engagement to Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering.
The railroad question and the emergency tariff are the most important from the farmers' standpoint.

ers and wrestlers of his weight in school. He was one of the tumblers of the Smart Set MIMetrels and promises the University three cheerleaders who are all real gymnasts if he is elected. So when you vote for him as cheerleader, you are voting for three men instead of one. You should not have any assistants, and they are two of the best gymnasts and acrobats in this part of the West. This way you have a say in the picking of your assistant cheerleaders instead of running up a blind alley as has been done in many sports, to chance see all three men in action during the week, and these positions will not be passed out as "political grape" but on the ability of all three men. Sterling and White are two other players to chance has a pet dream of inter-class boxing, wrestling, and sports, which Dr. Naimhius has heartily endorsed. Gilbert hopes to get a chance to make this a reality if elected. He is nonfraternity man who has not yet GET IT DONE will be his motto in raising pep, and putting the "Old Fight" in university athletics the year round.

in the A. E. F. He was also in the Intelligence Section of the 3rd Battalion, 137th infantry. Following his discharge, he re-entered K. U. in the fall of 1919, being enrolled in the electrical engineering department of the School of Engineering. He was elected vice-president of the junior class this fall. Not only is he a member of the executive council of the A. J. E. E., but is also secretary-treasurer of the same organization. In all of these positions he has shown special ability to GET IT DONE as treasurer of the Men's Student Council should be expected. He has been working his way until recently when he received Federal aid.
Most all men students of the University are familiar with the face of "Porky" Elliot in the clothing store of C. C. Carl where he is working part of the day in order to pay his expenses at the University. Elliot is a major in the economics department of the College and was in the infantry during the war. He is known but one thing when it comes to doing anything and that is to GET IT DONE.
Paul O'Leary is one of the best quarter-milers in the Valley Conference in many years, and its performance in the K. C. A. C nect in the relay against the Aggies was him won a place in the hearts of all loyal K. U. track followers. O'Leary would GET IT DONE on
the Athletic board fully as well as he is doing on the track team. O'Leary will be back of "Phog" Allen every inch of the way, as will both Warren Woody and Pete Jones, the other two candidates for athletic members of the board, Jones is captain-elevate of the football team and starred in all of K. U.'s games this last year, so that he will not only GET IT DONE in putting K. U. at the top of the football column next fall but in all athletics. Warren Woody will also scrimp football for two seasons now and get better every season. He is a "K" man, as are OLEary and Jones, and did his share in putting the Crimes and Blue队 on the map last fall. They are all "fighting foils" and when they start to get a thing done, they GET IT DONE. All three stand for the big difference, that K. U. ever had in athletes. They will GET IT DONE if elected.
The qualifications of the remaining candidates on the GET IT DONE ticket will appear in this column later with more information on the whole ticket. The supporters of this ticket are very desirable of getting the qualifications of the respective candidates before the voters so that they receive the opportunity which candidates will GET IT DONE to the best interests of the University and student body, after they have taken office.
Remember, it's the qualifications and the past records and present activities of the candidates that count, and the student body surely wants its officers and representatives to be trained only, but who are working for K. U. constantly, and who will get out and GET IT DONE. (Political Adv.)
