Sororities choose1970 spring rush
Sorority rush will be a spring event this year, Barbara Blee, Bonner Springs senior and president of Panhellenic Council, said Friday.
Open house will be during registration on Jan. 30, 31 and Feb. 1, she said. Invitational rush parties will be later in the spring, she added, probably in March or April.
The new academic schedule adopted by the University made the change necessary, she said.
"Panhellenic has tried to be flexible enough so when the University changes, we can adapt to those changes," she said. "That's what we're trying to do here."
"Under the new schedule classes will begin Aug. 31; if we had continued the fall rush sorority members would need to be here Aug. 10 or 14. We didn't think it was fair to the girls in sororities or the rushees, because of jobs, trips and other summer activities."
Miss Blee said the Panhellenic rush orientation for freshmen women would begin after Thanksgiving, and registration for rush would be after Christmas. She said all girls would be eligible to participate in open houses because there would be no requirements.

Lawton assesses campus lighting
The lighting on Jayhawk Boulevard and in other areas of the campus is a matter of priorities, said Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor in charge of campus operations.
Lawton said, "In general, we are at a satisfactory level of lighting. To change the present situation, we would have to buy new cables and poles. Whether this would solve the situation is rather questionable."
The problem is some dimly lit areas where people say they are afraid to walk. Lawton said that attention was being focused on the areas which had no light at all.
"Considerable sums of money have gone into lighting systems and right now we are trying to get lights installed where there are none now," he said.
Applications are available
Five to seven years ago, an analysis of the lighting situation was made. It was decided that a new type of lighting head would
Applications for Scholarship Hall residence scholarship's are available for Spring semester at the Dean of Men's office. Any interested male student may apply, said Frank H. Shavlik, assistant to the dean of men. The deadline is December 8.
Shavlik said scholarships will be awarded by a committee of Scholarship Hall students and staff on the basis of academic achievement and financial need. A 1.5 GPA must be maintained once a scholarship is awarded.
Tree a KU tradition
The Christmas tree which is placed in Strong Hall every year was first placed in the rotunda in 1921. The tree was first used to help raise money for the aid of needy foreign students. The tree tradition signified the start of the sale of Christmas candles.

be put on the lights along Jayhawk Boulevard.
At Your Bobstore
A request for money for this purpose was presented to the legislature, and in 1965, the money was appropriated and the light heads were installed.
This was one example that Lawton cited of the procedure of getting money appropriated for lighting.
At the present time, Lawton said, money has been appropriated and a contract let for a new system of mercury vapor lights to supplement those already in existence along Naismith Drive.
The Building and Grounds Department is going to install lights along the paths and around the tennis courts behind Robinson Gymnastium for those who live in Oliver and Naismith Halls. Lawton said.
He said the city and University have cooperated in placing some lighting to help pedestrians. Lights have been doubled on Mississippi Street behind the Union and some have been added on the streets between the campus and Corbin Hall.
Lawton said, "We are at a recommendable level of lighting on the streets at this time. To bathe the campus in lighting would be very impracticable."
He said that much of the problem was a question of aesthetics
"When we installed the lights in the grove behind the Union and Strong Hall, we had one man call and really raise cain," Lawton said. "He said he liked to walk through the grove at night and get away from everything. But he said with the lights, that was almost impossible."
Staying Here Over Thanksgiving?
For the many students who are unable to return home during Thanksgiving vacation, Henrys will be open to satisfy the students' holiday hunger. If you can't enjoy the turkey at home, stop by and fill up at Henrys! We're open all day.

Dear Scott,
I am only 4 years old but I want to give you 34+ to reserve me a 1983 Jayhawker yearbook. I want to look back at my college days when I get older.
Thanks Bobby Connors
