KU Students Love To Knock Down Those Pins
KU students love to topple those pins with bowling balls.
Probably the only thing that has kept bowling from being the biggest sport in terms of numbers of students participating is the fact that the Union has only six alleys, all of which are located in the basement.
The manager of Student Union recreation, Bascom C. Fearing, said, "The facilities do not permit much bowling, but interest has continually grown since bowling was initiated on the KU campus in 1952."
Another thing preventing full-time use of the alleys is the lack of pin setters.
Most of the pin setters are younger boys who do not get out of school until 3:30 p.m. Only one full-time pin setter is employed who can be there all the time.
"I'm sure that if I could open the alleys at 9 a.m.," Mr. Fearing said, "we could keep them all full during the whole day and evening."
Mr. Fearing conducts three classes in the morning as a part of the physical education program. Approximately 20 students are enrolled in each of the three classes.
Sponsor 13 Leagues
Sponsor II League
Eleven leagues also provide intramural bowling. Six teams comprise each league, which is made up of eight men's leagues, two women's leagues and one mixed league. In

addition, two faculty teams bowl at regular times in the Union.
Competition in these leagues is scheduled for 4,6:15,and 8:30 p.m. Each team has four members.
"We are also participating in the all-intercollegiate championships, both men and women." Mr. Fearing said. These playoffs are promoted by student unions over the
country, with each competing team sending in scores to a central office where the winners are compiled.
"KU has been in the top 10 teams nearly every year since bowling was started on this campus," Mr. Fearing said. "Last year the KU women bowlers placed second in one of the four rolls that are set up each year in the intercollegiate championship tournament."
No trophies or certificates are given in these playoffs. They are held to enable the different competing schools to compare scores. The fact that KU has competed every year since 1952 shows the interest that many students have in bowling on the campus.
Want Big 7 Competition Some attempts have also been made to begin competition among the Big Seven schools. Last year the Jayhawker bowlers held a home and home match with K-State. It is hoped that these matches will be held again this year, although no definite dates have been set as yet.
Want Big 7 Competition
Kansas was also host to the KU invitational bowling tournament last year. Competing schools were Colorado, Iowa State, K-State, Oklahoma A&M and Kansas. The Golden Buffaloes from Colorado won the tournament honors, with the Jayhawkers finishing third.
A similar tournament is being
There Are Two Sides To Every Case
It's no trouble at all for a debater to argue either side of a case.
Members of the KU debate squad said that although this may be a problem to a beginning debater, he soon learns to overcome it. True, he may still become confused as to which side he is supporting at the moment. Each debater could recall a member of a negative team who consistently referred to the opposition as "the negative side" until the judge reminded him, or his partner gave him a sly kick in the shin, or a rare occasion when a debater gave the wrong quote, thus giving a point for the other team.
Broadens Outlook
One objective of debate is the broadening of the student's outlook. "I'll be against an idea at first, but then as I learn more about it, I don't know which side I'm for." Arly Allen, Lawrence freshman said. "By the end of the season, I'm usually just about in the center."
A couple of debaters felt their opinions usually stay as they were at first, although they can see points for both sides. Others said they never completely make up their minds during the season.
Jack Gorelick, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said "The nature of debate is to formulate the best arguments and most logical evidence on both sides. Once acquainted with them you understand both sides, and on that basis, it's not hard to change sides."
Debaters learn to argue either side because "it's a challenge to debate the side you don't believe in," explained Allen Hickey, Liberal sophomore.
Negative Side Easier
Several debaters mentioned that the negative side is usually easier to debate since it is more natural to resist change, but they felt that this
and personal prejudice rarely influenced their number of victories.

This year's national college debate question, "Resolved: that the United States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries," was felt to be an especially difficult one because of its backward wording and the fact that it seems to be weighted in favor of the negative.
As the year progresses, the debater's case will usually change many times. As Bob Kimball, Kansas City, Kan., senior, explained, "Points change in their validity, you learn more, and other teams learn about your case."
"A majority of teams agree that some type of economic aid is needed. The question boils down to what type and how much, making it hard for the affirmative to abolish direct aid together," Gorlick said.
Debate is a type of "intellectual sport. Good debate is based on competition and winning is not
the only goal or interest," Kimball said.
Ray Nichols, Lawrence freshman,
said debate "helps in everyday life.
You can't always be objective and
debate teaches the necessary tact
and how to get along with people."
"The strain is good for you," Allen added, "You have to think all the time and be on your toes to find those loopholes."

planned this year by the student bowling committee. At the present time finances and the fact that Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska do
not have the facilities necessary for bowling seem to be the only stumbling blocks stopping regular competition between Big Seven schools.
