New Sorority May Colonize On Campus
The selection of a new social sorority which may be activated on the campus has been narrowed down to three groups by the Senior Panhellenic Council. They are Phi Mu, Kappa Delta, and Zeta Tau Alpha.
The Council will vote on the new sorority Monday.
The Council met yesterday and discussed local and national strength of the three sororities and housing facilities necessary for a new group.
Dean of Women Martha Peterson said if Panhellenic and the University agree a new sorority is needed, the group selected would be contacted to see if they are interested in forming a chapter. Representatives of the sorority would visit the campus and decide if a chapter would be successful here. If this is accomplished, they would select 20 to 25 girls for a charter group which would be on probation for a number of months.
The girls would continue to live in their present housing until a chapter house is found, Dean Peterson said. If the group is formed before the end of this semester, they would probably move into a house next semester, and if not, they would wait until next year.
Decorations Contest Begins
Registration for the 1955 Homecoming house decoration contest begins today and will continue through Nov. 10, according to Denmar Cope economics instructor and associate chairman of the house decorations committee.
House representatives should register in Mr. Cope's office, 214 Strong Hall. Entries should include a sketch of the proposed decoration and the motto or theme.
Mr. Cope said that to prevent duplication, an impartial committee will review the registrations and notify houses of duplications of previously registered decorations.
The decorations will be judged between 7:30 and 11 a.m. Nov. 18, on the bases of good taste, appropriateness and cleverness. The cost of new materials must not exceed $50.
Trophy cups for first, second and third place winners will be awarded in each of four divisions, independent women's houses, sororites, independent men's houses and social fraternities.
Frank C. Nelick, assistant professor of English, is chairman of the house decoration committee. Other members are James Dykes, assistant professor of journalism; Alice Schwartz, instructor in art education; Joan Sherar, Paola senior; Beverly Jackson, Kansas City, Kansen; Sheila Haller, Colby senior; James Lowe, Winfield senior, and Roy Gridley, Oakley junior.
A six-weeks course in slide rule is being offered to freshmen in the School of Engineering. The course, taught by Dayle Bockhorst, Lawrence graduate, will start at 4 p.m. today in Marvin Hall.
Student To Teach Slide Rule Course
The class will meet every Tuesday and Thursday during the six week period. It is a service course for freshman; no credit will be given.

With a medley of songs from Broadway shows, 19 members of the AWS Senate and House presented a "Rules and Regulations" skit at North College last night.
The University rules for women included in the skit were closing hours, quiet hours, men's calling hours, liquor, and authorization of social functions.

Chorus members were Mary S Dunn, Kansas City, Mo, sophomore; Pat Gallant, Wichita sophomore; Joy Yeo, Manhattan sophomore; Kay Davis, Kansas City, Mo. junior; Wuntsley Sharp, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, and Martha Cole Kansas City Mo. sophomore.
Polly Peppercorn Lawrence sophomore, was "Connie Coed" in the KU chorus. Members were Sally Schofer and Barbara Sample, both lawrence freshman; Joan Holmes, Searcy, Ark., junior; Katherine Ehlers, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore; Carol Hill Stafford sophomore; Janice Ijams Topeka junior; Nancy Shaver, Independence sophomore, and Mary Lauterbach, Colby freshman.
Mary Gallaher and Ellen Proudfit, both Kansas City, Kan, sophomores, played background music on ukeleles for the skit.
After the skit, Dorothy Sheets, Topeka senior and AWS president; introduced the judiciary board which enforces the AWS rules and regulations. The members are Annette Luthy, Kansas City, Mo.; senior; Carol Mather, Stafford senior; Miss Sheets, and Pat Pierson, Burlington senior.

"The Fall of Peron" is the title of a talk to be given at 7:30 p.m. in 113 Strong to El Ateneo, advanced Spanish club, by Cesar Piana, graduate student from Argentina. Mr. Piana, who arrived this month from Argentina, will speak in Spanish.
Ateneo To Hear Speaker
William Threlfall Receives Grant
Establishment of the Dr. William J. Baumgartner Scholarship and the selection of William R. Threlfall, a Howard freshman, as the first recipient were announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The scholarship honors Dr. Baumgartner, 84-year-old professor emeritus of zoology. An alumnus, he taught at KU for 40 years before retirement in 1944.
Inge Leaves KU Will Miss 'Picnic'
Murphy To Be Appointed To Security Post
William Inge, Broadway playwright, who was scheduled to attend the University Theatre production of his play, "Picnic," left unexpectedly for New York yesterday. The play will be presented at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater tomorrow through Saturday. Student ID cards will admit.
The 12 members have been chosen by President Dwight Eisenhower. Vice President Richard Nixon, and Speaker Sam Rayburn. Each man was empowered to name four members. Dr. Murphy will be an appointee of the President, it was reported.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy soon will be named one of 12 members of a bipartisan commission to review the federal security program for government employees, according to information released in Washington yesterday.
Dr. Murphy's career in medicine and education, and as a man active in public affairs, recommended him for the appointment, it was said.
The security program for government employees long has been a controversial issue. In the 1954 congressional elections the Democrats were stung by Republican charges that previous Democratic administrations had been filled with "security risks."

Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, said Mr. Inge telephoned him and said he was returning to New York to see a doctor about a severe cold. Mr. Inge indicated he may return to the campus in December, Prof. Crafton said.
Mr. Inge helped in casting the play last month and returned last week to watch final rehearsals. Members of the speech and drama department said the playwright, a 1935 graduate of the University, planned to attend all performances of "Picnic," and also the opening of his play "Bus Stop" Nov. 1 in Kansas City, Mo.
May Not Judge Skits
Rehearsals Going Well
Prof. Crafton, who was Mr. Inge's instructor during the playwright's undergraduate days at the University, said Mr. Inge complained of a severe cold last Thursday and left play reheasal early.
Rehearsals Going Well Prof. Crafton said Mr. Inge expressed satisfaction with the progress of the rehearsal and commented on the friendly atmosphere on the campus.
Mr. Inge was scheduled to judge entires for the Rock Chalk Revue next March. The entries were to be judged during the second week in January. Prof. Crafton said Mr. Inge did not say whether he planned to review the skits, but probably would if he returned around Christmas, as he has said he might.
During his visit in September, Mr. Inge indicated that sometime in the future he may become a resident author at the University. This would mean he would spend part of the year in Lawrence, with the possibility of becoming a member of the University staff. He said recently that this possibility cannot be considered this year because of previous commitments.
$1,700 Collected For Olympic Fund
Prof. Crafton said Mr. Inge has looked at real estate in Lawrence. Mr. Inge is also the author of "Come Back, Little Sheba."
Members of the Lawrence Junior Chamber of Commerce collected $1,700 for the 1986 Olympic Fund at the half time of the KU-SMU football game Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
This is about $900 more than was collected last year, according to Nathan Harris, Concordia, 55, cochairman of the Jaycees Olympic fund committee. Last year $792 was collected at the KU-Okiahoma game. In 1954, Lawrence's contribution of $1,J72.50, placed the city first in the per capita nationwide collection for cities in the 10,000 to 25,000 class.
New Officers Named For Sigma Delta Pi
Carl Tongier, Coffeyville graduate, was named today as the new president of the Beta Pi chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, national honorary Spanish fraternity.
Other officers named were Wanda Sammons, Stockton graduate, vice president; Patricia Crayne, Kansas City, Kans., graduate secretary; and Jane Hornaman, Leawead senior, treasurer.
