This Little Piggy Came To KU
Porkus Triangulanus (see picture), sometimes known as Clarence the wandering Triangle pig, is a guest of Triangle social fraternity.
For six months Clarence, a 125-pound white pig, has been visiting Triangle fraternity chapters at Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Marquette, Wisconsin, and Minnesota universities and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
Two rules accompany the pig. First, he may not return to any chapter until he visits every chapter in the nation. Second, he must be presented in person by a delegation of not less than six active members of the chapter caring for him.
The KU chapter's fun began at 9:30 a.m. Saturday when the railway express phoned and said a package had arrived from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. When several members came to the station, they found Clarence and a 1.04 storage bill.
Clarence is living the life of a king, eating three meals a day and having a pledge clean him once a day. Chapter members say Clarence will leave for the Rolla, Mo., School of Mines by spring vacation.
Jerry Davies, Kansas City, Kan., senior and Triangle president, said, "If we only had a little more time to train him, we would let him pull our chariot in the race next Saturday."
Alumni Teams Win In Annual Debate
Alumni teams made a clean sweep Sunday in the annual alumni-varsity debate tournament in the Student Union.
The audience voted 2-1 in favor of the alumni team of Heywood Davis, Kansas City. Mo. first-year law student, and John Fields, Kansas City, Kan. second-year law student, in the afternoon session against the varsity team of Hugh Bruner, Olathe sophomore, and William Hagman, Engrg junior.
Davis and Fields debated as the varsity team in the evening session because they are still University students. They were defeated, however by the alumni team of William Conboy, assistant professor of speech and drama, and William Crews, assistant instructor of speech.

Bayne Explains Israel Problems
"I can't think of a more interesting country for a sociologist than Israel. No matter where you look there is a problem," E. A. Bayne, American Universities Field Staff representative, told the Sociology Club March 9.
Crafton Speaks To Drama Group
"When the theater doesn't allow the audience to believe the make-believe of make-believe, the theater falls down," Allen Crafton, professor of speech, told members of the University Players Sunday in the Student Union.
The people are from different cultures, Mr. Bayne said. Most of them are illiterate and have primitive conceptions of sanitation.
Israel faces the task of putting its economy on a sound footing, Mr. Bayne told the club. Industrialization is hampered by a lack of skilled workers and goods are kept off the world markets by ignorance of modern marketing techniques.
There is an extensive social security program and no one starves although they may not always be full, Mr. Bayne added. The government promises some kind of a job for everyone.
He added that the "spirit of political Zionism" with which Israel was founded will keep the people from failing in spite of their difficulties.
Dr. Crafton traced the theater from the Greek era to present day. He pointed to the era of realism in theater as one of its low points.
Members of the club were urged to tell all persons interested in the drama section of the summer art camp to call Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama. The camp is for high school and University students, and includes instruction in acting, design, costuming, lighting, and makeup.

City Boycotts Polio Serum
Sophomore Counselors' Party
BURTON-ON-TRENT. England (UP)—This city, which was one of the hardest hit during a polio epidemic four years ago, has decided to boycott the nation's plan to vaccinate children against polio. City officials said the decision was taken "because of the Minister of Health's cockeyed method of organizing vaccination." There is only enough of the British-developed Salk-type vaccine for one child in five.
