In the next four nights, KU cagers will face three of the ton twenty teams in the nation when they meet North Carolina, North Carolina State and Kentucky.
But nobody seems to care very much.
At the Texas Tech game last Monday, only about 1500 students showed up to cheer the Javhawker squad. The field house might as well have been haunted.
Not that the fans who were loyal enough and who cared enough to attend the game are to blame. The reference is to the thousands who could have spared the time to come but didn't.
A spectator could feel the apathy Monday night.
At a meeting of campus political leaders last night, representatives of
organized houses and independent houses were urged to get their respective groups out to attend the home game with the legendary Kentucky Wildeats Monday night.
This was a commendable thought It's only a shame that such prompting is necessary at all.
Students shouldn't have to be continually prodded to support a team that currently ranks ninth in the nation. If a school the size of KU can't get more than a handful of students to watch some of the finest basketball played anywhere, then perhaps it's time to ask, "What's the matter with KU?"
But it's not too late to atone for our past neglect. A field house packed with cherring fans Monday night will go a long way toward showing the team that KU students are behind them again.

United Press International Jerry Lucas passed the acid test and now there's little doubt that Ohio State will be in the running for the national basketball championship.
The heralded sophomore proved his ability in outduring 6-10 270-pound Bob Nordmann last night and leading Ohio State to an 81-74 victory over St. Louis. It was the fifth straight win for third-ranked Ohio State and the first loss for seventh-ranked St. Louis.
Lucas won his personal duel with the rival giant easily. He poured in 13 field goals and four free throws for 30 points while holding Nordmann to seven field goals and three free throws for 17. Nordmann did lead a Billiken drive late in the first half but St. Louis' chance for victory went out the window when he later fouled out trying to guard Lucas.

The game developed into a tight contest in the closing minutes as the Russian team closed a seven point gap and went ahead by one point with four minutes and 20 seconds to play.
From that point until the final buzzer the game was nip and tuck.
