Murphy, Miss Vinson Discuss 'Leadership'
"The economic and social survival of our society will depend on the sophistication and understanding that your generation has," he said.
Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, spoke at the luncheon on "What is College?" She said that no one can tell what college is, for it is something different to everyone.
"College has to be an intellectual experience. Leadership is part of that experience. You do not come to college to learn everything there is to learn, but to learn something. You should know how to continue learning after college.
"College is also learning to live with other people. You don't know how different people are until you've lived with them," Miss Peterson said.
"Who Is a Leader—Now and Tomorrow" was discussed by groups led by Mary Peg Hardman, assistant dean of women, and Carol Mather and Patricia Pierson, education juniors.
Miss Wanda Mae Vinson, director of the Kansas High School Association for Youth, spoke on "Who Is a Leader Always?" She said leadership is a fine art and not just something to accept. She said there are three types of leaders on college campuses: the girl who wants honor, the girl who wants power, and the leaders who are interested in making the situation better. The latter type makes her mark in life, Miss Vinson said.
A Mortar Board panel discussion was held Saturday morning for the women. Letty Lemon, journalism senior; Frances Hanna, Wanda Sammons, Joy Brewer, Barbara Becker, Winifred Meyer, and Althea Rexroad, college senior, explained the various organizations on the Hill. They told of requirements for membership in clubs and other groups.
Dorothy Sheets, education junior is AWS president and Irene Coonfer. journalism junior, was chairman of the Leadership day committee.

After having a day to rest following its participation in a five-day concert tour, the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra, conducted by Russell L. Wiley, presented a fine concert program in Hoch auditorium last night.
An excellent performance in its entirety, the program reached a professional level with two selections from Ippolitov-Iwanov's "Caucasian Sketches," Edith Nichols, who plays the oboe, and Karel Blaas, who plays the viola, gave sensitive interpretations of their solo portions of the first of these sketches, which depicts the peace and quiet of a village scene in Georgia.
A steady tambourine rhythm and martial tunes portrayed the second sketch, the procession of a military leader and his army.
Skillful technique and good tonal quality were achieved by Ruth Jean Henry, violinist, in her solo performance of the "Concerto in D Major" by Tchaikovsky. This difficult concerto is considered to be one of the most brilliant and most popular of the standard repertoire of the great violinists.
Gov. Hall Vetoes Right-to-Work Bill
Of Johann Strauss' more than 550 selections, approximately half of them are waltzes which "mirror the charm, elegance, vivacity, and sophistication of nineteenth-century Vienna," as one writer puts it. His "Voices of Spring" was well sung by Merrill Coleman, fine arts sophomore, soprano, in last night's concert.
Other selections on the program were Rachmaninoff's "Symphony No. 2 in E Minor" and the "Academic Festival Overture" by Brahms.

North College hall and Alpha Tau Omega won first place in the women's and men's divisions of the sixth annual Rock Chalk Revue staged Friday and Saturday night in Hoch auditorium.
Second place winners were Pi Beta Phi sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and honorable mention was awarded to Gamma Phi Beta sorority, Sigma Nu fraternity, Delta Gamma sorority and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
"Kawecus," the North College prize winning skit, featured a coed faced with the decision of remaining at KU or transferring to K-State where her boyfriend was in school. The Alpha Tau Omega offering was "Phogius Caesar," a skit which depicted the troubles and complications of naming the fieldhouse.
The behind-the-scene action before the Rock Chalk Revue was illustrated by Pi Beta Phi in "Much To Do About Something," and Beta Theta Pi showed the results of a uranium strike at KU in "The Rascals and the Tanium."
"Lady Be Good," presented by Gamma Phi Beta, put the KU coed on trial for her vice and vanities, and Sigma Nu portrayed Romeo and Juliet in Marlon Brando style in "Rollomo and Julie."
in the Delta Gamma skit, "Wizard of Oread," the wizard showed the girls the contentment of life at KU, and "Waterfront," presented by Pi Kappa Alpha, concerned the problem of parking vehicles at a school in Norway.
The governor's decision on the politically-hot issue sends the bill back to the House of Representatives where an attempt will be made to override the veto.
That would take 84 votes, two-thirds the constitutional majority and 16 more votes than were mustered in the House when it passed the bill March 9.
The bill would prohibit any labor-management contract requiring that all workers be union members.
Gov. Hall, staking his political future to this act, turned down the right-to-work measure with an eight-page message to the House.
He asked that the Legislature enact a Kansas labor relations law embodying the essence of three House bills amended by the Senate.
They would ban jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycots, require notice of intent to strike and provide for supervision of strike votes by the State Labor commission.
The Senate soon will act on the revised House measures, now wrapped up into one proposal.
"If they cannot do it this session," said the governor, "I would be willing to call a special session immediately following the budget session next year for that purpose." Gov. Hall said he had reached his decision to veto the bill "after thoughtful consideration."
He said his office received some 23,000 messages concerning right-to-work with about two to one opposed to the measure.
