Kansas baseball team to play double header
The KU baseball team will play a doubleheader against Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday on Quigley Field south of Allen Field House.
The two full nine-inning games were announced Wednesday by the athletic department as an addition to the regular season schedule. There had been no games slated until Kansas was to open its Big Eight season against Kansas State April 5 in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks were allowed to schedule the additional date to fill out their schedule which allows for six playing dates against nonconference opponents. Kansas had used five of these dates in playing seven games at the Riverside National Collegiate Baseball Tournament last week in Riverside, Calif.
Kansas played two doubleheaders at Riverside which left them with an unexpected extra playing date. KSTC is just returning from a road trip through Oklahoma and also had an open date.
KU has a 1-6 record after finishing last in the Riverside Tourney.
Trackmen to UCLA meet
A 23-man KU track team will leave Lawrence at 12:30 a.m. Friday for a dual meet with perennial power UCLA, in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon.
This will be the squad's first outdoor meet of the season. The indoor season ended last week with a relay meet at Kansas State. Many of the top Jayhawk trackmen did not compete in that meet.
Conspicuously absent from the strong Kansas squad, which won
the big Fight indoor crown and placed fourth in the NCAA championships, will be the world's premier miler, Jim Ryun, who pulled a hamstring muscle in practice on Tuesday and will not make the trip.
Kansas will fly to Los Angeles, get some sleep Friday morning and tour the Universal film studios in the afternoon. The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence Sunday evening.
Boaters need life jackets
With spring weather ahead, the several lakes in the area, the Kaw River and almost any body of water big enough to float a boat will have any number of assorted craft bobbing or darting about it.
Some will sit motionless in the water while the occupants wait quietly, hoping for a meal of channel cat. Others will race full tilt over the waves, powered by a 40-horsepower outboard, and dragging one or more water skiers of varying skill behind.
The smart ones will be wearing life preservers, or will have them handy.
The United States Coast Guard has withdrawn approval of certain types of life preservers.
No longer accepted are vinyl coated unicellular plastic foam life preservers with a solid bib front. These preservers were taken off the approved list when tests revealed they became stiff and hard to put on in cold weather. The head opening couldn't be stretched enough to easily slip the preserver on.
The same type of plastic foam preservers, not slit in front, but covered with cloth, will no longer be approved but are acceptable as meeting Coast Guard requirements if they are in good condition.
Kansas boating laws call for the carrying of at least one Coast Guard approved life preserver for each person aboard a vessel.
Bohnenstiehl tops 1,000 point mark
By scoring 59 points during the NIT the "Machine," Rodger Bohnenstiehl, lifted his career point total to 1,006 to become the seventh Big Eight player to cross the 1,000 point statistical barrier this year.
KU tennis team wins
He shares the honor with Iowa State's Don Smith, Colorado's Pat Frink, Nebraska's Tom Baack and Stuart Lantz, and Oklahoma's Don Sidle and Willie Rogers.
The KU tennis team got its season off to a great start with two 9-0 victories in away meets Friday and Saturday.
The seven from one class is the most ever to attain the list, which now numbers 38, during the 61- year history of the conference.
The Jayhawks began the season with an outdoor meet against Washburn at Topeka Friday. They lost only one set in the meet. Saturday in an indoor meet with Northwest Missouri State at Maryville, the team again lost only one set.
In singles play the men are presently ranked 1) John Towner; Leawood junior; 2) Bill DeBaun; Leawood junior; 3) Sid Kanter; Prairie Village junior; 4) Jim Keller, Russell senior and team
captain; 5) Dan Oram. Prairie Village sophomore; and 6) Jack Kilrov. Mission Hills junior.
The doubles rankings are 1) Oram and Kanter, 2) Towner and DeBaum and 3) Keller and Kilroy. The team's next meet will be 2:30 p.m. Pion 2 on the courts west of Allen Field House.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF STUDENT SURVEY
A survey will be taken by telephone this week to determine student attitudes toward the serving of 3.2 malt beverages in the Student Union. This survey is being taken by a subcommittee of the Kansas Union Operating Board whose sole task is to study the feasibility of serving malt beverages in the Union. The survey is part of this study but will not necessarily be the deciding factor in the committee's recommendations.
In addition to announcing the survey, the purpose of this advertisement is to briefly clarify in the minds of the students some of the conditions under which malt beverages might be served if the sale and serving of malt beverages proved legal.
The beverages would be for sale, within limits of state law, to students in the same way as coffee or coke is now available except that they would not be available from vending machines. The sale and consumption of the beverages would be restricted to certain appropriate areas of the Union including private lunches and/or dinners utilizing Union facilities. Strict hour and age restrictions would be enforced.
