4 Debate Teams To Compete in Weekend Meets
Four KU debate teams will compete today and tomorrow in forensic tournaments at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and at Southwestern college, Winfield.
William Arnold and Hubert Bell, college juniors, will enter the senior division tournament at Southwestern. In the junior division will be Margaret Smith, college sophomore, and Robert Kimball, college freshman.
Each tournament is divided into a senior division for juniors and seniors and a junior division for freshmen and sophomores.
In the Arkansas tournament William Means, business senior, and John Fields, college junior, will debate in the senior division. John Eland and Gary Sick, college freshmen, will enter the junior division.
KU debaters also will enter three other contests in the two tournaments. All entrants will take part in discussion about practices of congressional investigating committees.
Forensic students from 23 schools have signed up for the tournament at Southwestern, including the University of Nebraska, Ottawa university, Wichita university, the University of Colorado, the University of Oklahoma, and Pittsburg State college.
Arnold and Bell will enter contests in extemporaneous speaking and oratory at Southwestern. Eland has been entered in oratory and Sick in extemporaneous speaking at Arkansas.
Southwest conference schools, including Rice Institute, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas probably will participate at Fayetteville, said Dr. Kim Giffin, associate professor of speech. z
Procedure will be nearly the same in both tournaments, Dr. Giffin said. Each debate team will take part in four preliminary rounds. Then judges will select eight teams on the basis of their records in the early rounds to meet in an elimination tournament.
Greeks Blast 1st Jayhawker
"A rush book for the University" was the phrase used by Cranall N. Melia, pharmacy sophomore, to describe the Jayhawker in last night's combined meeting of Pachagemac NOW, and FOR.
The argument behind Melia's statement was that "everyone is not represented in the Jayhawker." A committee has been formed to look into the situation.
It was moved and passed also that there be a joint meeting of Pach, NOW and FOR, once each month. The groups approved the motion of Jason Ott, college sophomore, that the political parties of the campus will nominate and back all candidates for class officers in the future.
Weather
A cold front sped across Kansas during the night, moving so fast it left little precipitation. Goodland
had a little light snow, but after the leading edge of the cold a i r passed the northwest h i g h plains it brought virtually no moisture to the rest of the
FREEZING
state. There may be some rain or snow in southeast Kansas tonight or tomorrow. The principal meteorological development now is a low pressure area centered in Texas.

Glum Report: More Girls at Other Schools
By SAM TEAFORD
Men of KU, it's worse than you thought it was.
Of the total enrollment in colleges and universities in the U.S., 36.3 per cent are women, but here at KU only 30.9 per cent of the 7,147 students enrolled are women.
But before you apply for a transfer, gentlemen, get this consoling fact: last year only 30.8 per cent of the 6,779 students enrolled here were women. Stick around, fellows, it may be a trend.
Commenting on the percentages, one male observed that the ratio was iot at all good. "Besides that, there aren't enough girls," another said.
Total enrollment in the nation's institutions of higher learning has increased by 4.8 per cent over last year, said the Office of Education report.
Men outnumber women 1,432,474 to 818,227 in colleges and universities over the nation, according to statistics released by the U.S. Office of Education. There are 4,936 men and 2,211 women enrolled at KU, compared with 4,693 men and 2,086 women enrolled last year.
Increasing from a total enrollment last year of 6,779 to this year's total of 7,147, KU has gained 5.4 per cent, slightly higher than the national average.
Honor Group Names Only 1
Carl D. Ambler, freshman in the School of Medicine and college senior, holds the distinction of being the only student elected this fall to the KU chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honor society.
At KU only liberal arts seniors with nearly all "A" records are chosen in the fall. Ambler is a Summerfield scholar. He held a Naval ROTC scholarship as a freshman but lost a year because of polio and had to give us that award.
He is now president of Phi Beta Pi, professional medical fraternity, is a member of Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity and of Owl society, honor group for junior men.
Journalists to Hear Star News Editor
John Colt, news editor of the Kansas City Star, will be guest speaker Sunday at an initiation banquet of the University chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
Mr. Colt will speak at the 6 p.m. dinner on the Star's coverage and handling of the Greenlease kidnapping case. The dinner will be held at the Lakeview club house.
Students to be initiated are Henry Christman, graduate; Sam Teaford and Tom Shannon, journalism seniors, and Stan Hamilton, Ken Bronson, and Larry Boston, journalism juniors.
