Alpha Phi Omega Is KU Service Group
Have you ever wondered what happens to Boy Scouts when they grow up? Here's what a lot of them do—they join Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity for college men who have been scouts.
At the present there are over 250 chapters, on college and university campuses around the globe with a total membership of approximately 45,000 members.
The KU chaoter, Lambda, is the sixth oldest in the nation, with a membership of about 100.
It was founded at KU in 1929, and was reorganized in 1932 to promote more activity among its members. At first it was not primarily concerned with scouting practices, but was meant to be a college men's organization, emphasizing service to the community.
The fraternity's purpose is service to the University, to the community, to the country, and to fellow members of the order.
Among activities and services performed by Alpha Phi Omega are running an information booth, proctoring in orientation examinations, and helping the Campus Chest drive.
Many Activities
Before the Campus Chest was organized, Alpha Phi Omega was busy with March of Dimes and tuberculosis seal campaigns, defense stamp and bond sales during World War II, and CARE package donations.
The fraternity started a lost and found department during the summer session in 1947. It is still operating under Inter-Fraternity Council supervision.
This year, under the guidance of Ronald Salyer, Kansas City senior, Alpha Phi Omega president, it will hold an Explorer Scout encampment in November. Kansas Explorer Scouts will come to KU for a football game and a tour of the campus.
Conduct Toy Drive
Other activities for the year include the annual Christmas toy drive for needy children, camp counseling for scout patrol leaders in March, and Visitation Day for Boy Scouts in the Lawrence, Topela, and Kansas City, Kan., area during the KU Relays.
Each year, the group presents a distinguished service award to the member who has done the most for the organization.
That's the story of Alpha Phi Omega on the University of Kansas campus. As Dean of Students Lawrence C. Woodruff said in 1947, "Through service, Alpha Phi Omega members can reach their other goals of leadership and friendship."
17 KU Marines Attend Camps
Eight members of the University of Kansas Marine Corps platoon leaders class attended a 6-weeks training course this summer at Quantico, Va. Three are members of the senior class and the other five are members of the junior section.
The seniors were David G. Hill of Lawrence, Ronald O. Thomas of Baxter Springs and John D. Smith of Wichita. Smith also attended a second camp period to make up for training missed the previous summer.
Members of the junior class attending camp were Mike D. Swanson of Abilene, Fred C. Piraro of Kansas City, John H. Newlin of Wellington, Thomas W. McCoy of Topeka and Phil W. Collidge of Topeka.
The platoon leader members do not take part in Marine classes or drills during the school year, but participate in two summer training periods.
Nine other members of the Marine detachment of the NROTC received six weeks of training at Quantico, Va., this summer.
The trainees were among 392 representatives of 52 colleges and universities with men participating in the training.
Training at the base consisted of physical conditioning, Marine Corps tactics and history, and principles of leadership and command.
Attending the camp were Gerald Riley, Pittsburg senior; Chester Arterburn Jr., Kiowa senior; Eugene Knobloch, Nickerson senior; Lawrence Mercier, Kansas City Kan. senior; Jack Rogers, Dresden senior; Lawrence Sheridan, Kansas City, Mo., senior; John Rogler, Kincaid senior; Edward Stith, Ottawa senior; and Don Martin, Larned senior.
All nine of these KU midshipmen will be commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Marine Corps or Marine Corps Reserve upon being graduated from the University.

Critics Praise British TV
LONDON—(U.P.)-Critics today praised Britain's first television with toned down American-style commercials and generally agreed that the state-owned British Broadcasting Corporation is in for some tough competition.
An estimated 2,500,000 Britons got their first look at commercial TV last night in a four-hour premier telecast by the new London station of the Independent Television Authority.
KU Alum To Attend British School
L. A. Hollinger of Russell, who was graduated from KU last spring with a B.A., will study at the University of Southampton, Southampton, England, this year. Hollinger will attend the school on a Rotary Foundation Fellowship.
The Kansan flew to New York last weekend and boarded the Queen Mary Wednesday. His classes will begin on Oct. 7.
Hollinger was graduated from Russell High School in 1951 and attended the University of Colorado before enrolling at KU.
Upon his return from England Hollinger will enter the KU School of Medicine.
Hollinger was one of 108 students from 29 countries selected to receive the fellowships last spring. He is being sponsored by the Russell Rotary Club.
Kansas Food Prices Show Slight Drop
Highway transport industries provide a living for one of every seven workers in the nation.

TOPEKA-(U.P.)-Kansas housewives found their shopping dollars bought more food in August than in the same month last year.
Kansas retail food prices declined slightly for the third straight month, according to State Labor Commissioner Roy L. Warkentin. The retail food price index for August was four per cent under the figure for August of 1954.
Warkentin said the cost of the market basket dipped seven-tenths of one per cent last month to follow a drop of 1.8 per cent in June and July.
Lambs reach market weight sooner on pelleted feed than on the same feed fed separately and loose, according to Agriculture Department research at Beltsville, Md.
