CENTENNIAL ENTHUSIASM—Getting into the spirit of campus centennial activities—even if no else has the spirit—is the gang of girls at the Gamma Phi Beta sorority house, who erected the sign shown above.

Crazy Weather Fun for Campers
By CLARKE KEYS and TOM STEWART
It's really a wonder that when the first settlers came to Kansas more than 100 years ago and were subjected to the crazy goings-on of this Midwest weather, they didn't just keep right on traveling. All we've lacked this past week has been a severe snowstorm and 100-plus temperatures.
And with still another night and day to go, we may make it yet.
First it was chilly, then foggy,
next we were on the fringe of a tornado area with torential downpours, we relaxed on a calm and pleasant evening and finally were nearly blown away from the wind-

For Appointment
Things looked pretty bad last night when that downpour struck about 9 p.m. We expected to find our tent floating when we got "home" from work, but the old workhorse was as dry as ever and in good shape. It was quite peaceful. The wind was calm, the temperature just right—then boom. Up went the wind and down went the temperature and up went Stewart and Keys to put down the tent.
But these nocturnal occurrences are just about over. Tonight will be the last night and then we can pack up our gear and head for some dry area. Only this time we're going to charge for bringing rain.
We've heard and been told of considerable discussion about our sleeping out these nights, but actually that's the easiest part about it. The temperature has been quite conducive to sleep, the tent has kept us dry and the sleeping bags have provided the right cover.
We even get hold of some dry firewood yesterday and fixed quite a meal of hot beef sandwiches. The weather came in handy, too, for it
Dancing will be taught by Shirley Hughes, instructor of physical education, at 7 p.m. today in the Student Union.
Dance Lessons Set For Union at 7 p.m.
The class is sponsored by Student Union Activities and will be held every Thursday for the next five weeks. The first lesson will include fox trot and jitterbug steps. Other lessons will include the tango, rumba, mambo. Cost is 25 cents per lesson.
A bequest of $1,000 from the estate of the late Dr. E. H. Skinner was received by the Clendenning Memorial library at the University Medical center in Kansas City, Dean W. Clark Wescoe of the School of Medicine said yesterday.

After the "Glenn Miller Story" leaves, life is of little value on the neighborhood screens this week. The unwinding celluloid is scheduled to display multifarious methods in dismembering people—using broadswords, lances, carbines, arrows, high-velocity rifles, and water monsters.

OPEN SUNDAYS
By BILL STRATTON
On surveying this current crop, one may get the impression that Hollywood thinks the American will not go to the movies unless there is the exciting promise of sudden death in bloody technicolor
Bully Good Bloodshed Featured at the Flicks
Evidencing this is the cinematopic "Knights of the Round Table." When the Miller mood fades from the Granada sound track Saturday night, the screen will be taken up with the boisterous pageantry of sixth century England. Wearing tailored aluminum and shoulderder butchers' instruments, the characters of Arthurian legend ride in on their well-dressed horses to tear up the scenery left by "Ivanhoe."
When the visors are up and the beards are combed, one is able to recognize such people as Mel Ferrer, Robert Taylor, and Ava Gardner.
The first few minutes are rather slow, no one being lacerated until the heroes smile and the villains scowl. Once the elements are distinguished and England is divided the blood banks are in business. As is normally the case, the knights in stainless steel buck superior odds. In one round, however, King Arthur Ferrer and Sir Lancelot Taylor rough it up a bit with their broadwords, denting each other's fenders only slightly.
Taylor gets the best work-out in practicing sanguine gallantry, and he shares the unsavory romantic airs with Guinevere Gardner, who delivers the most consistent deadpan role of the season.
A scene to watch for in this travesty is when Taylor, after falling into some English quicksand, borrows a lifesaving device of Roy Rogers—whistling to his faithful steed. If an award is given to "Knights of the Round Table," it should go to the imaginative costume designer who created the attractive gowns for the horses.
The Jayhawker has "Command" for its next attraction, featuring cavalry, Redskins, and Guy Madison. Next week, the Jayhawker hopes of have "Top Banana," a fairly ludicrous musical comedy with the seldom-seen Phil Silvers.
Starting tomorrow, the Patee shows "Creature from the Black Lagoon," which stars Richard Carlson and a neurotic fish. This is one of those pictures designed to frighten people with a lurking beast. For many patrons, the maximum reaction to their seeing a man in a funny suit trying to act ferocious will consist of a nervous chuckle.
On Tuesday, the Patee expects to have an old import called "Trent's Last Case." Michael Wilding, Orson Welles, and Margaret Lockwood are in the cast.
As for the Varsity, Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, and Grace Kelly can be seen in a jungle junket entitled "Mogambo." Miss Kelly, for her part in this film, is considered a likely candidate for an Academy award. A rare feature of "Mogambo" is the introduction of talented and untutored gorillas who snarl at the camera in a manner reminiscent of TV's Uncle Miltie.
Following the jungle picture, the Varsity anticipates "Magnetic Monster." Richard Carlson upsets another beast, this time a machine which will not listen to reason. The universe is at stake. For science fiction votaries. Showing on the same bill is something about Buffalo Bill and saddle sores.
Epsilon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, professional fraternity for women in journalism, will honor Mrs. Mamie Alexander Boyd, associate editor of the Jewell County Record, for her outstanding contribution to Kansas journalism.
Mrs.Mamie Boyd to Receive Outstanding JournalistAward
The award will be presented at 6:30 p.m. by Mary Betz, journalism senior, at the annual Matrix table dinner in the Kansas room of the Union,
Miss Margaret McConnell, personnel manager for women at Time, Inc., will speak on "Women in the Background" at the dinner which is sponsored by the KU chapter and the Topeka alumnae chapter.
Mrs. Boyd, who has been active in the newspaper field for over 50 years, at 75 still writes two columns a week, besides "doing anything
around the office"—stories, news,
editorials, locals, rustling advertising,
keeping books and records.
Miss McConnell, as head of Time's personnel department, handles over 5,000 job applications a year. With her two assistants she visits campuses each spring to interview college women.
Elizabeth Wohlgemuth, president of Theta Sigma Phi and journalism junior, is Matrix table chairman and will preside at the dinner tonight.
