Head of Local Fraternity Refutes Unwritten Bias
Rv Blaine King
The president of the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma last night denied any knowledge of a "gentlemen's agreement" that supposedly figured in the suspension of the Kappa Sigma chapter at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.
The president, Fred Green, Leavenworth senior, said, "As far as I know, neither I nor any other man in the house is bound by such an agreement."
The University of Kansas has nominated five seniors to compete for Danforth Fellowships.
Spokesmen for the Swarthmore chapter attributed the suspension to the chapter's recent efforts to "change the unwritten discriminatory policy of the national fraternity."
THE CHAPTER at Swarthmore was suspended by the national fraternity Nov. 7.
the national fraternity said it suspended the chapter "for attempting to involve other chapters in organizing to defy the national's basic principles, and failure to maintain standards of scholarship."

Five KU Seniors to Compete For Danforth Fellowships
The Danforth Foundation offers the fellowships to talented men who plan careers of college teaching. They are renewable for a total of four years of full support at the institution of the fellow's choice.

group said they had solicited support from other chapters of the fraternity for the removal of the "gentlemen's agreement" barring non-whites from membership in Kappa Sigma.

2. WOMEN IN A DELICATE CONDITIONI
In answer to the charge that they had failed to maintain "standards of scholarship," the Swarthmore group admitted it had received letters about their grades from the national in the past, but that the chapter grade average was up from last year.
1. CHILDREN WHO FRIGHTEN EASILY
Green said the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma has had a local autonomy clause in its constitution since at least 1935." Green said. "That is the first year for which I have a copy of the constitution."
3. ANY WOMAN WHO HARBORS VENOMOUS HATE FOR A SISTER!
Spokesmen for the Swarthmore chapter said the group would probably disaffiliate from the national and become a local fraternity.
4. HEART PATIENTS FOR WHOM THE SUSPENSE MIGHT BE FATAL!
5. ALFRED HITCHCOCKI (He would never get over his envy!)
A note taped to the head of the statue said "To whom it may concern. This statue belongs to the University of Kansas. Would you please return it."
The sculpture, entitled, "Resurrection." was ripped from the pedestal in the Arthur Weaver Memorial garden sometime after the KU homecoming game with Nebraska.
THERE WERE THREE scratches, one on the nose, another on a hand and one on the hair but they are not serious enough to reduce the value of the work.
A bronze sculpture stolen from a pedestal outside the KU Museum of Art Nov. 10 was found Saturday night on the sidewalk in front of the Marysville police station.

Last week the Student Council met at the Duluth College of Veterinary Medicine and Belles Lettres to discuss purchasing a new doormat for the students union. It was, I assure you, a desperate problem because Sherwin K. Sigafoos, janitor of the students union, threatened flatly to quit unless a new doormat was installed immediately. "I'm sick and tired of mopping that dirty old floor," said Mr. Sigafoos, sobbing convulsively. (Mr. Sigafoos, once a jolly outgoing sort, has been crying almost steadily since the recent death of his pet wart hog who had been his constant companion for 22 years. Actually, Mr. Sigafoos is much better off without the wart hog, who tusked him viciously at least once a day, but a companionship of 22 years is, I suppose, not lightly relinquished. The college tried to give Mr. Sigafoos a new wart hog—a frisky little fellow with floppy ears and a waggy tail—but Mr. Sigafoos only turned his back and cried the harder.)
COMMITTEES:
AN AGONIZING RE-APPRAISAL
To those of you who stay out of your student government because you believe the committee system is just an excuse for inaction, let me cite an example to prove that a committee, properly led and directed, can be a great force for good.
He only turned his back and cried the harder
But I digress. The Student Council met, discussed the doormat for eight or ten hours, and then referred it to a committee. There were some who scoffed then and said nothing would ever be heard of the doormat again, but they reckoned without Invictus Millstone.
Invictus Millstone, chairman of the doormat committee, was a man of action—lithe and lean and keen and naturally, a smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes. Why do I say "naturally?" Because, dear friends, active men and women don't have time to brood and bumble about their cigarettes. They need to be certain. They must have perfect confidence that each time they light up they will get the same gratifying flavor, the same Selectrate filter, the same soft soft-pack, the same flip top flip-top box. In brief, dear friends, they need to be sure it's Marlboro—for if ever a smoke was true and trusty, it's Marlboro. Get some soon. Get matches too, because true and trusty though Marlboros are, your pleasure will be somewhat limited unless you light them.
Well sir, Invictus Millstone chaired his doormat committee with such vigor and dispatch that when the Student Council met only one week later, he was able to rise and deliver the following recommendations:
1. That the college build new schools of botany, hydraulic engineering, tropical medicine, Indo-Germanic languages, and millinery.
2. That the college drop football, put a roof on the stadium and turn it into a low-cost housing project for married students.
3. That the college raise faculty salaries by $5000 per year across the board.
4. That the college secede from the United States.
5. That the question of a doormat for the students union be referred to a subcommittee.
So let us hear no more defeatist talk about the committee system. it can be made to work! © 1982 Max Blumland
You don't need a committee to tell you how good Marlboros are. You just need yourself, a Marlboro, and a set of taste buds. Buy some Marlboros soon at your favorite tobacco counter.
