Last weekend Kansan Sports Editor Steve Clark went to Boulder to witness the Jayhawker-Buffalo game. Two winters ago this reporter made the same trip. Both came back with a bad impression of the student crowds at Colorado.
It is known that a visiting team has a hard time winning in Boulder. This is for two reasons: the higher altitude which has thinner air and the nature of the fans in the Colorado field house.
By Bill Sheldon
EVERY TEAM in the conference is wary of traveling to the mountains to play the Buffs because of the harassment which it will receive from the student fans. At Colorado this badgering gets to the point where it almost appears to be organized and planned as a deterrent of uncalled for proportions.
Because of this attitude the Colorado student body has the worst reputation for continuing poor sportsmanship in the Big Eight.
Many visitors to Allen Field House have been complimentary of the conduct of the KU students at basketball games and this is something of which the students should, and can be, proud.
THIS IS NOT to say there have not been occasions when the Jayhawker followers have not vented their rath upon incoming teams. Such was the case against the Missouri team here two years ago and especially last season. But both of these incidents stemmed from previous action at Columbia which ruffled the feathers of every faithful Jayhawker.
But, try as one might, there can be no practical and mature explanation for the conduct displayed Monday night in the final minutes of the Oklahoma State game. This was the worst seen in the Field House in recent years.
MAYBE THE OFFICIAL was negligent in not calling what looked like anyone of three or four fouls on O-State players. But this is not for the spectators to judge. Good money was paid by everyone in attendance and for this they hold the right to make as much noise as they wish, and this should be encouraged. But the throwing of pop corn boxes and other debris does not constitute making noise.
A certain amount of disagreement with the officials at any sporting event is to be expected and is seldom avoided—even the officials expect it. However this should be done in a manner which does not lead to disgrace for the individual or the school he is representing.
IT IS THE type of conduct which was witnessed by several important persons Monday night which is a bad reflection upon KU. Incidents like this will rebound at future dates. If such a thing were to happen again this season, especially against Missouri, the torrent of criticism would be difficult to fend off. KU might even acquire the same tab which has been stamped on the back of the Colorado crowds.
There has long been great interest among several of the schools and newspapermen in the area to try to get something done about the crowds at Boulder and there is always a chance something may come of any efforts.
But the chance of accomplishing anything in this area becomes many times harder when the conference can prove a school cannot keep the grass in its own back yard trimmed.
BILL MAYER, MANAGING editor of the Journal-World, is among the many who have expressed opinions on the crowds at Boulder and would like to see a change made. He also brought out the whip yesterday on the home front.
This is a worthwhile campaign to support. If the KU students, or sports fans throughout the Big Eight area hope to make it easier for their basketball teams to win at Boulder, they must first shoulder the responsibility of mature conduct in their own field houses.

CALPURNIA, HERE I COME
Now, as the college year approaches its mid-point, one fact emerges clearly: you are all going to flunk everything.
There are two things you can do about it. First, you can marry money. (I don't mean you marry the money itself; I mean you marry a person who has money. Weddings between people and currency have not been legal anywhere in the United States since the Snoot-Hawley Act. Marlboro Cigarettes, on the other hand, are legal everywhere and are, indeed, smoked with great pleasure and enthusiasm in all fifty states of the Union. I bring up Marlboro Cigarettes because this column is sponsored by the makers of Marlboro, and they are inclined to brood if I omit to mention their product.)
But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, of course, you will not because you are a high-minded, clean-living, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore, to keep from flunking, you must try the second method: you must learn how to take lecture notes.
According to a recent survey, $123.6\%$ of American undergraduates do not know the proper way to take lecture notes. To illustrate this shocking statistic, let us suppose you are taking a course in history. Let us further suppose the lecturer is lecturing on the ruling houses of England. You listen intently. You write diligently in your notebook, making a topic outline as you have been taught. Like this:
I. House of Plantagenet.
II. House of Lancaster
III. House of York.
Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back a tear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well that the next ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trouble is you don't know the Roman numeral that comes after III.
(It may, incidentally, be of some historical interest to point out that Americans are not the only people who don't know Roman numerals. The Romans didn't know them themselves. I suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or like that, but when it came to real cuties like LXI or MMC, they just flang away their styluses and went downtown to have a bath and take in a circus and maybe stab Caesar a few times.
(You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculous numerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system. Well sir, the fact is that the Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy to buy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman the Magnificent, but Suleiman wouldn't do business—not even when Vespasian raised his bid to 100,000 gold piastres, plus he offered to throw in the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Charlton Heston.
(So Rome stuck with Roman numerals—to its sorrow, as it turned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got to arguing about how much is CDL times MVIX. Well sir, pretty soon everyone in town came around to join the hassle. In all the excitement, nobody remembered to lock the north gate and —wham!—before you could say pecca fortiter, in rushed the Goths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers!)
Well sir, that's the way the empire crunbles, and I digress. Let's get back to lecture notes. Let's also say a word about Marlboro Cigarettes. The makers would be so pleased! And is it not fitting that we should please these honest tobaccoists—these fine men, fond of square dancing, water sports, protein, and tattoos—the tireless perfectionists who spend all of their days trying to please us—searching everywhere for the best of all possible tobaccos, aging them with patience, blending them with tender, loving care? Marlboros are available in soft pack and flip top box. You will find XX cigarettes in each package.
