Alpha Gamma Delta Anticipates Establishing New Chapter Here
A new sorority may be established on the KU campus.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said that two national officers of Alpha Gamma Delta have been invited by the Panhellenic Council to visit Lawrence some time in November. They will meet with administrators, the Dean of Women's staff, and the Panhellenic Council to discuss "planning, arrangements, and timing."
JO LYNNE TALBOTT, Overland Park senior and Panhellenic rush chairman, said that no provisions had been made for a new sorority to participate in rush this February. "There is a possibility that a new sorority could be established next year," she said.
Dean Taylor said that it would be at least two years before a new sorority could be started.
Mrs. J. B. Stroup, assistant dean of women and adviser of the Panhellenic Council, said that Alpha Gamma Delta alumnus have been in contact with the Dean of Women's office for some time. "With the increasing enrollment, there is a definite need for expansion of the Greek system," she said. "We have certainly not discouraged any sorority interested in establishing a chapter here."
MRS. STROUP said she thought the sorority has taken an option on land near the Tau Kappa Epsilon and Lambda Chi Alpha houses.
Canadian Contralto Begins Concert Series
A Canadian contralto will appear tonight as the first in a series of five performances sponsored by the University Concert Course.
Miss Maureen Forrester is the guest singer. The program will start at 8:20 in the University Theatre.
Students will be admitted free upon presentation of student identification cards at the box office, according to Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
According to Dean Taylor, Alpha Gamma Delta had a chapter at KU which closed in the 1930's, probably due to the depression. Preference for a new chapter would be given to a sorority which has previously been established here.
Dean Taylor said that there are no Alpha Gamma Delta chapters
presently on Kansas college campuses.
One of the main problems in establishing a new sorority would be rushing. There are several methods which could be used: rushing by alumnus, by sorority members from other campuses, or by members of other KU sororities.
Epic Poem Dramatization To Run for Three Nights
A dramatization of the narrative poem "John Brown's Body" will open the KU Experimental Theatre series Thursday, Oct. 17.
The Pulitzer Price winning poem by Stephen Vincent Benet will feature four principal actors: Richard Kelton, Miami, Oklahoma, junior; George Bradley, Pittsburg, Kansas, graduate student; Marcia Dalen, Minneapolis, Minn., graduate student, and Nancy Vunovich.
"John Brown's Body" is an epic poem, and like others of its type, is a series of poems dealing with many aspects of life, set against the background of the Civil War.
Benet uses the character of John Brown, the raging abolitionist who became a martyred symbol of a cause, as a stepping stone to an account the war times.
Other symbols, in the form of the four principal characters, are used to reveal this clouded moment in American history.
THE POEM BEGINS it's account of the Civil War with Brown's attack on Harper's Ferry and continues telling the story through the eyes of two families, the aristocratic Wingates, who are determined to preserve their way of life on their southern plantation are contrasted with the Jack Ellyats, who are equally determined about the Northern cause.
