"We are in the process of examining possibilities of televising the Colorado game and possibly the NCAA playoff games."
K-State Game TV Given Up
There will be no Jay Watchers telecast of the KU-K-State basketball game.
Bryce Cooke, Overland Park senior and co-chairman of the Jay Watchers, said this after a 3-hour conference in Tooeka Tuesday with representatives of television stations, telephone companies and Kansas State College.
The total cost of televising the K-State game would be almost $15,000. be said and is considerably higher than the group had originally planned.
"The cost of the telecast is prohibitive to advertisers acceptable to the universities." Cooke said.
The reason for the added expense is that no facilities exist for getting the signal from Manhattan to Warden, the nearest town to Topeka with a receiver.
Three towers would have to be constructed to get the signal to Kansas City, Mo., where it could be sent out to other television stations.

Skepticism as a fundamental philosophy is bad, the Rev. M. C. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Lawrence, told students at a coffee hour Tuesday in the Student Union.
BEV. M. C. ALLEN
Skepticism Hit As Creed
He said that one who leads a skeptic's life would be a big question mark. Religion must be an assumption that the best things are possible, he explained.
Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1957
In answer to the question "How can we know there is a God, if we cannot prove He exists?" the Rev. Mr. Allen said that "nothing is proof over the will to disbelieve."
Needs $550 For Trip To Father's Funeral
To be 5.000 miles from home and hear of the sudden death of a parent is the plight of Tor Ek, Savsio, Sweden graduate student.
He was notified Tuesday of the death of his father, but can't make the trip home because he hasn't the money.
Many Causes
Ratnam Swami, Ceylon graduate student and president of the International Club, told The University Daily Kansan today that $550 would be needed by Thursday noon if Ek is to make the trip. Contributions can be brought to the International Club at 7 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Student Union or to the business office of The Uniervity Daily Kansan before noon Thursday.
"In the first two weeks of February, the KU aids and awards office has approved more than 400 student loans, mostly for the payment of fees." Youngberg added.
No one need look far for the causes, he continued.
Student Demand For Loans Aids, Take All The Money
"First, there are more students at KU than ever before. Society is encouraging the good high school student of very modest financial means to try for a university education." Second,深深的农业
The demand and need for student loan funds and other aids has never been so great, according to Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Assn.
"The amount of the average loan is up," Mr. Youngberg said. "And if our resources hold out or new money is obtained, the number of loans also will increase.
This was proved during the fee-paying period, he said. The demand has nearly exhausted the loan fund.
Last year the Endowment Assn. made 2,112 loans totalling $193,000. In nine months of the fiscal year through January 31, 1,614 students had borrowed $202,226.
For emergencies the short-term Flower Fund loans of not more than $100 for 60 days can be borrowed on the student's signature. Other loans require the co-signature of a parent or reliable person.
Money is loaned on the basis of need if a student has a C average or better. An interest rate of 2 $ \frac{1}{4} $ per cent creates a reserve against losses.
prices and layoffs in industries have curtailed the ability of many families to assist their children."
He said a third factor is that stiffer requirements have reduced hours that a student can work for money and still get a degree.
Mr. Youngberg estimated that 1,500 of KU's,8,864 students could not remain but for scholarship and lona funds.
The aggregate loan limit for undergraduate is $600, repaid in a year after graduation, but medical students have been allowed a 4-year period to repay $2,500.
Lower Fund Helps
Mr. Youngbeg said the Endowment Assn. has never had to take legal action against a borrower.
"What did you have to eat at the Press Club dinner in Kansas City last night?" the woman senior asked a journalism faculty member this morning.
No Wonder Those Potatoes Tasted Odd
"It was a wonderful buffet meal," he replied. "They served turkey, ham, roast beef, salad, axd for vegetables baked carrots and some tiny potatoes with a rather odd taste."
"Those were turnips, sir," a male student who had been at the dinner said quietly.

Dr. Beer Gets Summer Post
Robert E. Beer, associate professor of entomology, has been appointed to a summer staff position at the University of Michigan Biological Station at Douglas Lake Mich.
Dr. Beer replaces Dr. H.B. Hungerford, professor emeritus of entomology, who held the summer position for 31 years.
The entomology department received word that a paper written by Dr. Preston E. Hunter, formerly of KU, who is teaching at the University of Minnesota, has been published. A result of four years' research at KU, the paper reveals that fruit flies with resistance to DDT have a longer larval stage than they do under ordinary circumstances.

"Erasmus belived that we must search for truth, but Luther contended that truth can only be given," said Dr. Bainton, pointing out one of the major differences in the views of the two men.
"Our religious thinking in America is now largely following the philosophy of Erasmus. There is a reaction against dogmatism and a willingness to concede the possibility of correctness of others' views," he said. "It is possible that in 10 years the trend of thought might go in the other direction.
"Erasmus has been the epitome of northern or Christian Renaissance. He was more persistent and virulent than Luther," said Dr. Bainton.
Although both men were reared in monasteries, even their reasons for being there were different, he said. "Luther entered the monastery with a feeling of reverence and a devout desire to gain salvation. Erasmus entered because he was an illegitimate child and his mother didn't know what else to do with him.
Humanist Influence
"Erasmus was influenced by the Humanists' tolerance of other religions, and while he did not go as far as the Humanists, he did Christianize the philosophy of Humanism and present the point of view which may well be the basis for our modern left-wing protestantism."
Dr. Bainton defined the doctrine of Erasmus as the philosophy of Christ. He quoted a passage from Erasmus' writings in which he protested the tendency of the times to argue too many questions without regard to one's own sincere judgment.
He quoted Erasmus as saying, "That which is forced cannot be sincere, and that which is not voluntary cannot please Christ."
Pleas For Peace
Erasmus was a philological historian who had a plan for changing the church through a program of education and peace. "Erasmus was the most eloquent person of his generation in his pleas for peace," Dr. Bainton said.
"Luther believed that man has a freedom of choice in his actions, but that his actions are of no importance, as the final judgment is in the hands of God. Erasmus maintained that man has at least some ability to improve himself with the help of God."
Film From Sweden Fridav

KU Geologists Planning Trip To Florida Laboratory
Four members of the geology department are planning a field trip to Florida and the University of Miami biological laboratory in connection with the Red Tide Studies on March 18-31.
The faculty men, Richard H. Benson, assistant professor of geology; Stuart Grossman, Fall River, Mass., Frederic R. Siegel, Dorchester, Mass., and Glen Lloyd Foster, Galay, Va., all graduate students, will spend most of their time on the University of Miami's ship, Gerda, which makes about four such trips off the west coast of Florida every year.
Tides Kill Sea Life
The Red Tide Studies is carried on by the University of Miami because of the tides that come to the coasts of Florida occasionally and kill many fish, lobsters, shrimp, and other forms of sea life. The ship
stops every hour or so and takes nitrate and phosphorus samples from the water along the coast.
The KU faculty men will not only help with this project, but will work on one of their own. They will look for ostracodes, a microscopic organism with a shell similar to that of the shrimp. When it dies it leaves this shell, which forms a sort of crust.
The purpose of the project is to discover the distribution of these ostracodes in the Florida waters. When the Gerda stops to pick up the mineral specimens of the water, the KU men will gather the ostracodes.
They plan on getting about 50 samples if conditions are favorable. In a similar project last year only three samples were gathered because of faulty equipment and bad weather.
