This game's name is really quite academic
We remember sitting down the other day to discover the TV full of Texas football coach Darryl Rorytell the government that if it didn't change its new rules about men and women being equal and so forth, college sports would shrivel and die.
COMMENT
Well, we don't cotton lightly to statements like that. Personally, we don't know what the levelers and shakers in the government are supposed to do or how much of reckoning should be ignored. If Sheil would
open, we think w'd better be ready. Given the unpredictability of the folks at HEW, fanatics had better get used to the notion that sports could be around longer than footballs.
If that happens, however, we need some sort of new game, something with books, games, or puzzles. Our University Game is played mainly by some administrators and erstwhile campus politics, a popular base clearly so weak that students can be crushed on their patent leather shoes.
Now, we don't propose to invent the game. There are plenty of games-minded souls who can attach purposes, parameters, and rules to thin air and make people cheer. But we news types are basically promoters at heart, our hopes and fears often turning to that horrible, perplexing problem of finding enough stories to keep everybody reading
our paper. For us, the game is less im- plemental in all the potential hoopla of the PRESENTATION.
And so we hit on it; whatever the game, it's got to have trades. Trades make good news copy and lots of room for analysis. We can see news releases like this:
"The University of Missouri announced today that it had acquired veteran Nobel-Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling from Stanford University in exchange for three biochemists, two assistant registrars, and the entire department of French.
"We were surprised to get Pauling in a trade this late in the season, and we feel fortunate to have him," said MU president Jerry Bordford. "He'll add new depth to our attack."
"Analysts believe that Stanford traded Pauling as part of a new drive to usurp all French departments. University officials said that such a move will counter Boston University's expanded economics department."
Or this:
"Ohio State University announced today that it had traded football coach Woody Hayes to Richard Stockton State College. Richard Stockton is reported to have traded his president, ten professors, six undisclosed teaching contracts, and two residence halls.
"Hayes was not immediately available for comment, but friends close to the coach said he might retire to raise cattle rather than accept the trade."

A plan making trash service mandatory in Douglas County, as recommended by the county's Solid Waste Advisory Board, isn't going to be released until missioner Pete Whitenhall said Monday.
County disposal plan opposed
Whitenight said the difficulty of enforcement and the unpopularity of the mandatory system were the reasons it was unacceptable to the commissioners.
The plan was unanimously approved by the county's Solid Waste Advisory Board early in May in response to a recently passed state statute, Whitengen said. The council would be meeting this countywide solid waste management system to be ready by July 1976.
The plan proposes that trash service be mandatory for all residents living on 10 acres or less.
Med Center bid postponed again
Bids for the new clinical facilities building Medical Center have been posted online.
Originally scheduled for June 17, the bid opening was put off until today at the request of contractors. Now it has been scheduled for July 10, at 2 p.m.
"There were 89 addendum items needing clarification," Frank Applegate, chief of engineering for the state Architectural Services Division, said yesterday.
Applegate said the building was estimated to cost $50 million.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Gay ads condemned; Kansan responds
I am a normal heterosexual male, and I have never felt the impulse to scream out this quality, much less publish it in bold face. I have never felt the impulse to scream or publish my pride of sexuality if I were a homosexual. It is nothing to be proud of in either case. Only Gay Lib thinks it is. I consider it to be very poor taste on the part of our audience. They advertising? Obviously not to help people with counseling. Such ads as "GAY LIB. MEANS MORE THAN WHAT WE DO WITH OUR GENTAILS" has little do with screaming and much to do with conversation.
You may ask what right I have to complain about such practices. I feel that this type of complaint in the newspaper that represents my university, Gay Lib ads must be successful
if they are willing to shell out money every day for advertising. For this reason the practice should be questioned, and hopefully ablished. As a student I pay $2.50 a semester for the Kansen from activity fees. This money subsidizes advertising indirectly. This gives me the right to question why people who feel that homeosexuals should be tormented, but don't want to see or pay for ads that promote homosexuality.
Business Manager's note:
John Olson Lawrence junior
We would argue with your reasoning on several points. First of all, students don't advertise payoffs for much of the cost of producing the paper every day. Secondly,
My final point concerns your moral objections to Gay Liberation advertising. The Kansas reserves the right to refuse advertising from anyone at any time, but as a practical matter, we only reject advertising that is unlawful (i.e., pornographic, fraudulent or illicit) or what we deem to be offensive. We don't think the Gay Libs fall into either category, regardless of how we feel about the organization personally.
To the Kansan editor:
please check with the Student Senate to see how much you really pay each semester for the student newspaper. You'll find the amount is closer to $69 cents than $2.50.
To offer an example of what I'm talking about: I might think a certain religious group is morally and intellectually objectionable, but I wouldn't reject ad copy promoting its church services, as long as it had the money to pay for its advertising.
and industrial establishments in Douglas County.
Persons living on property of more than 10 acres could dispose of the waste on their land, subscribe to the collection service or find other means of disposing of trash.
The board suggested that the trash be collected by a single, private hound and that it be returned.
Uniform rates would distribute the cost of
plans for local trash collection. If city officials decide to initiate a new system using a private hauler, the county may tie into that system, he said.
Whitenight said commissioners considered this plan disagreeable.
the whole operation equally among all users of the system.
"We think there are ways to work this out without jamming it down people's throats," he said.
The commissioners are in no hurry to work out another plan, Whtighten said. The commissioners have agreed.
The Lawrence City Commission is considering the effectiveness of its collection system because of a report released last week by Ross McMinkey, professor of civil engineering, which criticized practices in the Sanitation Department.
