Women Get 'Mrs.' Degree in Danforth

Designed by KU's first architecture graduate, built from an old stone fence with German POW labor and dedicated in 1946 when the late Andrew Schoeppel was governor of Kansas, Danforth Chapel has a lot of tradition behind it.

BUT ANOTHER OF DANFORT'S traditions is more important for KU women. Many of them get married there.
And in the 16 years since Hope sophomore Leone Sandow walked down Danforth's aisle to join Robert Fisher at the walnut altar rail. 962 women have made the change from schoolgirl to wife.
The little reservations book in the registrar's office indicates that June is the most popular month for weddings, though the weeks just after fall semester run a close second.
THE YEAR FROM JUNE 1, 1958 to June 1, 1959, however, produced a bumper crop of weddings, as 95 men assumed the role of husband and a like number of women promised to love and cherish them. The "obey" may be omitted from the ceremony, and in recent years usually has been.
In its first year, Danforth saw 75 couples joined, but the pace has slowed slightly since then. Now, about 40 couples a year are married in Danforth.
The omission of "obey" may be one reason for another tale told in the reservation book, and might cause some women to consider just how secure their position really is before they get their man to the altar. For every dozen or so weddings listed in the reservation sheets, there is at least one cancellation.
Only once in Danforth's hectic first year did things go drastically wrong. In the excitement of the wedding, no one remembered to extinguish the candles, and melted wax overflowed, ruining the rug.
IN THE LATEST WEDDING at Danforth, that of Ira Paulin and Marcia Dicks, friends broke one of the many traditions surrounding weddings. They threw wheat instead of rice. The Paulin family farms in southwest Kansas and wanted to be true to their background.
In the future, when the new Fraser Hall is completed, the old setting may be altered somewhat. Danforth is not scheduled for removal, but the area will have to be relandscaped, and the tiny chapel (capacity 90) will repose in the shadow of its new neighbor.
Speakers will verbally dissect the paper boy in a discussion of the carrier boy and the newspaper of the future at the ninth annual Newspaper Circulation Managers School here Nov. 17, and 18.

KSU Test Incident Results in Ousting
A test-stealing incident at Kansas State University resulted in three students being expelled and five others disciplined.
Any other students found to be involved in stealing the tests or profiting by them will also be dealt with, Dr. Chester E. Peters, dean of students, said.
The students acquired keys to campus buildings and offices and used them to get in and take the test sheets, school officials said. The keys have been recovered.
