Page 2 1 University Daily Kansan Tuesday, Dec. 4, 1956 Who At KU Will 'Boo'? Monday night may have been the beginning of the most prosperous basketball era in the history of the University of Kansas. At least that's the opinion of many KU, and even non-KU fans who have been looking to the future ever since the fabulous Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain enrolled at the University. We suspect they may be right. In fact, we'll be greatly disappointed if it wasn't the beginning of the best three years of basketball ever at KU. Even the pessimist would have to admit that the future looks exceedingly bright, what with Wilt and several other promising sophomores, plus all of last year's top players except Dallas Dobbs returning. Of course, we all hope KU runs over everything in sight. But, if everything runs true to form and victories pile up for the team, our hopes for winning each approaching game probably will turn to expectations. We're apt to get a winning streak complex and think that our team just can't lose. to be nights when Coach Dick Harp's team will have trouble doing anything right while the opposition won't be doing anything wrong. It's under these circumstances that unsportsmanlike conduct usually creeps in. Our emotions get out of hand and we boo the referees, acting as though they are the reason that things are so tough. A little booing is expected, a lot can be harmful. expecting every game to be a KU victory is risky enough in itself, because there are certain Constant booing at the officials won't make them change their decisions, but worse than that it gives the school a bad reputation. It wouldn't be so bad if the students who do the booo could be singled out and blamed individually, but the effect is that the school is blamed for the unsportsmanlike conduct of a relatively small percentage of its students. Proposed Research To Be Discussed We're not saying we shouldn't be disappointed or even bitter over losing, but our bitterness should be directed in the right course, not toward the referees. We should realize that a KU loss isn't impossible, and that we should act sensibly when the sad day arrives. Three members of a special committee from the U.S. Public Health Service will visit the KU School of Pharmacy Saturday to inspect pharmacological facilities and discuss proposed research projects with Dr. Duane G. Wenzel, professor of pharmacology. The visitors will be Dr. K. K. Chen, director of pharmacological research, Eli Lilly Laboratories, Indianapolis, Ind.; Dr. Stewart G. Wolf, Jr., professor and head of the department of medicine, University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City; and Dr. J. Palmer Saunders, executive secretary for pharmacology and experimental therapeutics study section, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT David-Webb Editorial Editor Just Browsing... Well, the Frenchmen have done it again, and we don't mean they've come out in favor of any new form of riotous living. But, bless their hearts, those lovable Europeans have passed a law requiring all public schools to give their students one hour of class time per day to devote strictly to doing their homework. KU administrators, please take note. Just think of all the time we would have left to spare in the evenings if we could have a full hour during the daytime to spend studying. The students could do all their homework during that hour, and spend their evenings in attending cultural events, meeting beautiful little dolllies, drinking coffee, reading classified Walt literature, learning to do the samba, talking on the telephone, etc. So, we're all for this study-during the-day ruling, which would leave us more time during the evenings. But the guy over at the next desk has come up with a dissenting vote. Seems he feels that if the University added an extra "study hour" to each day's class schedule, he would have to give up drinking coffee in the Union. Or, in order to drink coffee, he would have to start cutting class, and if he started cutting class,he wouldn't be able to catch up on his sleep. Maybe he could quit school. It is our sad—but official—duty to report that the famed Elvis Presley movie is now showing at the downtown cinema. Our digestive system hasn't been up to par lately, so we haven't been around to see it yet, but we did send a couple of spies, who were singularly unimpressed. Commented the first spy: "I predict that it'll be his first and last movie." Commented the second: "It wouldn't have been a bad show, if he hadn't been in it." However, there's one thing in favor of the great drama—it's only about half as long as some of the other current hits now playing at the big theaters. However, we understand it's just as hard to sit through. -Dick Walt Because King Stephen I of Hungary turned from paganism into a bulwark of western Christianity, Pope Sylvester II presented him with the Holy Crown of St. Stephen in 1001 A.D. From then on, the jewel-decked crown has remained a potent religious and political symbol. Pope Leo XIII reigned as titular head of the Catholic Church for 25 years, from 1878 to 1903, one of the longest reigns in the history of the papacy. Two Cents' Worth A letter to Santa Claus: Dear Mr. Claus: Dear Mr. Claus: Realizing that this is a poor time to present grievances, inasmuch as you are probably right in the middle of the rush season, I nonetheless feel that a few of the past injustices I have suffered at Christmas time should be corrected. $ ^{b} $ Gunch No. 1: Please ignore all packages addressed to me marked "Do Not Open Until Dawson Christmas." My nerves have suffered unnecessary strain in past years from having to forego opening packages only to find a red and orange stripped tie, or a book on "How to Raise Algae, and Why," with matching earrings. Gunch No. 2: Please show a little discretion when distributing my gifts to friends. My good friend Elrod last year received the hand-carved croquet wicket I specifically had marked for Aunt Eover. Gunch No. 3: Please enter by the front door this year. Several bricks had to be replaced on the chimney last year. Perhaps you're overweight. Another thing. Those darn reindeer of yours ate all the foliage from my aspidistra plants, for which I am billing you. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler We thought it was awfully nice of Sports Illustrated to send a man to cover Monday night's basketball game, until he told us his field is horses and harness racing. We can see the story now: "The Kansas Jayhawkers galloped to a photo finish over Northwestern at Allen Race Track..." Here's one possible explanation for the Union's bad coffee: a young man returned a cup to the waitress in the Hawk's Nest, and asked for a clean one. She remarked that "two-thirds of the cups aren't clean", proving her point by looking over some of the "clean" cups, many of which were less than spotless. Food for thought. Speaking of sports, it sometimes helps to know just what the sports-writers are talking about. For example, the passage "The mapleletroters swished the nets at both ends of the hardwood to tally a tantamount in the final quadrant" simply means the game was close right to the last minutes of playing time. Or, "The giant middle man bounced the sphere on the boards" is translated to mean "the center dribbled." Ad booki (Latin for "to the booki.")
