KU winter sports include more than just basketball
By WILL HARDESTY
Well sports fans, it's that time again. Yes, the winter sports season has finally arrived in the Kaw Valley.
Your friendly, general assignment, handy-dandy UDK reporter has been assigned by the infamous city editor to convey a few pearls of wisdom on the winter games to the KU populace.
High on the list of "things to do" is the old favorite, man's favorite sport. This is not 'the "Colorado Daily" or a Sexual Freedom League publication, so we won't dwell on this further. As a sport, it's a "natural."
POPULAR AMONG the scholarship hall set is "traying." Number of players—any number.
Equipment needed — a tray, snake bite kit (side-bellied snow-winder, you know), and at your very own discretion, a date.
Purpose of game-first, to acquire your very own tray. It need not be a Downey or a Surf Rider, a Kansas Union special will do.
Secondly, to locomotivate yourself on an inclined plane in such a manner so as to reach the horizontal plane at the bottom alive. (The pros yell "Ice's up!" when hitting the skids.)
NAME OF GAME—ice hockev.
Number of players—any number, divided in half and put on two teams.
Equipment needed—a pair of skates, or sharp feet, and a stick.
Optional—a snake bite kit. . .
(Bird's Eye Frozen Viper, you know.)
Purpose of game—to score and not get pucked.
NAME OF GAME—curling.
Number of players—two teams of janitors from opposing sides of the campus (east hills vs. west hills, you know).
Equipment needed—a set of handled rocks, a set of brooms, some flat ice, and a snake bite kit (Diamond Backed Coiler).
Purpose of the game—to give a B.C.-type bludgeoning to the snakes and opposing team.
NAME OF THE game—skiing.
Number of players—an individual sport.
Equipment needed — two flat slats, two frog-stickers, oceans of guts . . . and your trusty snake bite kit, usually cleverly disguised as a wineskin. (High Altitude Slope Creeper.)
Purpose of game—similar to traying, but more death-defying. Secondary purpose is to meet snow bunnies (distant relative of Playboy bunnies, but designed with the common man in mind).
NAME OF THE game -tobog-
ganing and bob-sledding.
Number of players—how ever many can hang on. ("Hang on Slopey" is a slider's theme.)
Equipment needed — toboggan or bob sled, first aid kit, and that old reptile anti-toxin serum (Bob-tailed Rattler).
Purpose of the game—to survive . . . and look like you're enjoying it. Hop on sled, jet down slope, try not to scream.
Conclusion. There's gonna be a roundball game this Saturday. Come and help us kill snakes.

The department said it will hold review sessions for those planning to take the test tonight and Thursday night starting at 7 p.m. in 411 Summerfield.
Civ exam is Saturday
That much awaited social event, one which is by engraved invitation only, the Western Civilization Comprehensive Exam will be this Saturday from 1-5 p.m.
Some posters had been displayed on campus saying the test would be at 8 a.m. Malicious rumors had it that the test would
be given at 9 a.m. These reports are unfounded and without any basis according to the Western Civ department.
