Men Students Raid Women's Dorms
The current seige of panty raids hit KU last night when an estimated 50 boys broke into Templin, Miller, and Watkins halls. Mrs. Lela Whiteford, Templin housemother, said "a gang" ran around the house "stealing things" around midnight. Doors were broken and screens ripped when the raiders broke into Miller and Watkins halls.
"The girls who were unfortunate enough to have washed last night lost almost everything they had," a resident of Miller was quoted as saving.
Last night's raids brought to 26 the number of American seats of learning that have witnessed raids by male students bent on carrying off unmentionable trophies this year.
By far the wildest and the most destructive raids occurred at Columbia, a city of 32,000 and site of the University of Missouri and two girls' schools, Stephens and Christian colleges.
Squads of coeds, wielding mops and brooms and dousing the boys with buckets of water, failed to halt them. Once inside, the boys snatched armfuls of underthings just as police arrived and routed them.
that colleges. More than 2,000 men students from MU stormed the dormitories at Stephens. They battered their way into the buildings through broken screens and windows.
At this point, acting Police Chief J. Lewis Parks declared the situation out of hand and beyond the ability of his 22-man police force to handle.
he called Missouri Gov. Forrest Smith who authorized the mobilization of the Columbia unit of the Missouri National guard.
But by the time the company of 56 guardsmen was mustered, the raiders had spent their energy, and most had returned to their books.
The largest raid in terms of numbers was at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where 5,000 male students chanting "Go, Go, Go" and led by a trumpet blowing ringleader stormed 10 dormitories and sorority houses.
no arrests or injuries were reported at the KU raid.
ported at Tuscaloosa, Ala., about 1,000 men of the University of Alabama raced up and down the campus bent on staging a panty raid. But University officials and police armed with nightsticks kept them from entering any girls' quarters.
The coeds had to content themselves with tossing old socks, scraps of cloth and bottles to the stymied raiders. All underthings had previously been locked up in trunks in anticipation of a raid.
University President Dr. John M. Gallaele appeared at New hall and shouted to the girls, "Don't worry, everything will be all right."
Dr. Gallalea was met by a barrage of eggs and mud.

The bodies of Rickers and Delphia were in Lone Star lake May 15. They had been missing since a pledge party May 8. A Navy diving team from the Great Lakes aided in the search.
Chancellor Murphy's installation took place on Sept. 17 at KU's 86th annual opening exercises attended by 4,000 students, faculty and alumni. Lester McCoy, chairman of the board of regents, made the formal installation. Other official

The science building structure collapsed on the afternoon of March 12. A wind which reached the velocity of 70 miles per hour was blowing and did other damage to the campus. The damage to the science building was estimated to cause a six-week delay in construction.

KU students living in organized homes decide to abandon the usual Homecoming decorations and give the money to flood relief this fall. In addition to putting the money into a relief fund, KU students, particularly IFC council members, donated their time to help clean up
After many long years of existence in the old "shack", KU journalists moved into the new Journalism building. Erwin Canham of the Christian Science Monitor spoke at the dedication services of the new building Feb. 22 and at a banquet that evening. Various "big-wheel" newspapermen were present at the celebration.
Matt Murray was critically injured in an automobile accident near Tenganoxie in mid-February. An all-school dance, with proceeds going to Matt, was held later. Students also arranged for a card campaign for him.
A forged holiday note brought about great exclamation by most students. A notice was read at a pep rally preceding the home to KU-K-State basketball game. The note was supposedly signed by Chancellor Murphy (he was in New York at the time) and announced that if KU won, school would be dismissed the following day. KU won, but the note had been forged and students attended classes as usual the next day.
