Wider Coverage Of Campus Plan For Jayhawker
IT'S THISAWAY—University cheerleaders swing into the Rock Chalk chant for new students in the new student induction program in Memorial stadium. Earlier, the freshmen and other KU "first-timers" were told of University symbols and traditions in Hoch auditorium.
More and larger pictures and more uniform coverage of all students will highlight the 1954-55 Jayhawker, said Donna Francis, fine arts senior, who is the editor this year.
Miss Francis said she felt that the coverage of independent students has been too scanty in the past and that this situation would be changed this year.
More party pictures will also be noted in future issues. Miss Francis said an attempt would be made to include one or more informal pictures on each page accompanying the group pictures of all organized houses.
A new idea in the design of the binder was described as an attempt to make it look less like a notebook and more like an annual. The binder will be of light brown with the title in script across the front.
In an effort to get senior pictures taken at the earliest possible time, the seniors of all organized houses will go as a group to Estes Studio, and all other seniors are urged to get their pictures taken at their earliest convenience.
The first issue of the annual, which will be distributed in four sections, will be out sometime in November. Miss Francis said.

Diplomats Talk France Burns
London — (U.P.)— U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles today discussed with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Ennex a plan for quick rearmament of West Germany on terms agreed upon yesterday between Dulles and German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
The French press interpreted Dulles' detour around Paris as a "direct snub," "a blunder," "an unfriendly act" and warned that France could not be expected to approve any formula worked out among Dulles, Adenauer and Churchill on which France "has not been treated on a basis of equality."
Eden, who conferred with French Premier Mendes-France on proposed alternatives to the European Army plan for two days, returned to London last night obviously not pleased with what he had been able to accomplish in Paris.
Italy, West Germany and the Benelux countries had agreed readily to Eden's proposal to bring a rearmed West Germany and Italy into the 1948 Brussels alliance and to place themselves under the "umbrella" of the North Atlantic Treaty alliance.
France it was indicated, still was balking at the idea of rearming the Germans.

New Students Told of Symbols KU Traditions
The origin of the Jayhawker, the Rock Chalk chant, and the Alma Mater were explained to new KU students in a skirt presented last night in the final student induction program.
Following Hoch auditorium ceremonies, the new students, led by the KuKus, men's pep club, went to Memorial stadium for information about the traditions and meanings of KU symbols.
During the skit presented at Hoch, Traditions committee members answered the questions of a freshman about the University symbols. New students learned the Jayhawk is a mythical bird, the reason for the school colors, and the origin of the alma mater.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and Dean of Students Laurence C. Woodruff spoke at the stadium induction ceremonies. Chancellor Murphy explained the symbolism of ceremonies in which a torch was carried by runners from the Rock Chalk monument on the campanile hill to the speakers' platform where the torch was handed to representatives of the various classes.
Dr. Woodruff told the students of the origin and meaning of the University seal.
Dr. Murphy said the burning torch symbolized the continuing work of the University in the fight for world freedom.
The University cheerleaders led the new students in singing the alma mater and the rock chalk chant, and the University band played for final induction ceremonies.
