What's In A Name, You Ask? These Women Aren't Sure
Shakespeare wrote a play called "The Comedy of Errors," and this could almost be the story of two freshman women who haw the same names, Deanna Lee Holmes.
Trouble From Start
Both are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. One is from Lawrence and the other is from Topeka.
Trouble began during orientation week when both were living in North College. Mail was opened by the wrong Deanna, telephone calls were switched, and the blind date situation "was a fright." Before long, not even the two themselves were certain which dates belonged to which woman.
Sorority open houses in December presented another problem as they walked into the houses side by side, introducing themselves to the housemothers, "I am Deanna Lee Holmes" and then "I'm Deanna Lee Holmes."
"You simply can't imagine some of the surprised looks we received," Deanna from Topeka said.
The latest mix-up came when Deanne and Deanna wound up sitting next to each other in biology lecture and laboratory classes. The teachers are forced to call them by their student numbers, "Deanne No. 10260" and "Deanne No. 11039."
Young Democrats To Elect Officers
The Young Democrats will elect officers at a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in 104 Green Hall.
National political problems and final plans for attending the state convention will be discussed. The state convention will be Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, at the Town House in Kansas City, Kan. Any student may attend.
Toots Cost $10 In New York
NEW YORK (UP)—Horn tooting became an expensive luxury in New York City Thursday. The price: $10 and up. The luxury price tag was put on honking at 12:01 a.m. as part of a drive to bring quiet to the city's blaring, bustling streets.
Both Born In 1937
Deanna from Topeka was born Jan. 31, 1937, and Deanna from Lawrence was born July 21, 1937.
To make matters even more confusing, both have one brother and their mother's names are Erna and Erma Holmes.

Concert Takes 5 Buses, Truck
Taking a concert band and orchestra on tour is big business—big moving business, that is.
The five large buses that will leave Lawrence Monday, March 19 for eight Kansas and Oklahoma towns will carry only one part of the ensembles—the players.
"Most students don't realize all the equipment that has to be moved when we go on tour," said Russell Gustave, director of the band and orchestra.
"We have to take a moving van to carry some of the instruments and uniforms."
Into this van go the harp, which is as large as a grand piano, the celeste, the music stands, the chimes, 8 tubas, which make 16 pieces of luggage, 8 string basses, 4 tympani, a bass drum, other drums and sound effects equipment, a contra bassoon, and uniforms.
The smaller instruments are usually carried by the players in the buses, and Prof. Wiley said that he tells them not to "let them out of their sight."
"The students are pretty careful about looking out for their things, but just the same, we are lucky that we don't lose a lot with all the moving around we do," he added.
KU Band Substitute For K-State Pepsters
Edward Masters, assistant professor of band and orchestra, will direct a 50-man University of Kansas peep band tonight and Saturday at the NCAA regional basketball tournament at Allen Field House.
The KU group will take the place of the Kansas State band which is unable to attend.
Unlike brown pelicans, white pelicans never dive for food. They scoop fish from shallow water.

The rising heat of the candidates' charges indicated they are putting on all pressure for votes in Minnesota's presidential primary next Tuesday.
