The organized house, either Greek or independent, which sells the highest percentage of Jayhawkers this year will receive the annual Floyd Quentin Brown trophy. (see picture).
The traphy will be given by the Jayhawker yearbook staff and is in honor of Floyd Quentin Brown, an editor and student leader during the 1830's.
The contest last year ended in a tie between Phi Kappa Sigma, social fraternity, and Pi Beta Pi sorority.

A native of Greensburg, Mr Brown was active in many student activities at KU.
He held several important positions in the state government, including campaign manager for Frank Carlson, elected governor in 1946. Mr. Brown died in 1946 at the age of 35.
