Old Simmons Hospital Houses Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity
This is one of a series of UDK articles on organized houses.
The Kansas chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha formed a colony at Kansas University in 1946 and made its home at 805 Ohio in the building that was once the Simmons hospital.
The house is one of the oldest in Lawrence and boasts a huge marble plaque in each of the four rooms on the first floor.
In October of 1947 the chapter was commissioned as Zeta Iota in formal presentation ceremonies.
Lambda Chi's national organization was founded in 1909 at Boston university. It has 139 active chapters in the United States and Canada which make it one of the largest of all national social fraternities.
Its scholarship ranking is the pride of the Lambda Chi chapter. Since the inauguration of the chapter at KU the grade point average of the mouse has risen from 1.04 to 1.52.
Some distinguished alumni are Harry S. Cruman, Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy, Raymond C. Moore, geologist, and Charlie Trippi, all American football player.

'South Pacific', Other Oldies Still Top Fare On Broadway
Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity announces the recent initiation of Burt Berger, H. J. Levikow, Donald Steinberg, Elliot Valenstein, and Allen Wolf.
New York—(U.P.)—Two months and 17 productions after the start of the fall influx of plays, the "hottest tickets" on Broadway still for shows that are months old.
At the close of business Oct. 31,
AT the close of the newscomers had captured the unattended hat-had caught of the critical brigade necessary to start the box office stampede on the morning after that is the mark of the long-run smash hit.
The biggest ticket demand still is or such standbys as "South Pacific," which is now in its third year; "The Iing and I," "Guys and Dolls," "The Ice Is Blue," and "Call Me sad."
Fourteen of those 17 new productions that have appeared since Sept. 1st still are on view and some of them did not even receive an even split in the notices, let alone a majority or unanimous vote. Not all of them will last for a long time and probably most of them will wind up using money, but they still are round.
The oldest of these is "Lace on her Petticoat" which opened Sept. and which Herman Shumlin has got going despite small grosses.
"Bagels, Yox" and "Borsch Capades," the two American-Yidish variety musicals, were well buffeted by the critics but they seem to have found enough of their special audience to make it worthwhile sticking around since mid-September.
Mae West in "Diamond Lil" is a special case, since this was a second return engagement in a brief period designed for a limited run prior to touring again.
"Remains to be seen," "Saint Joan"
Movie stars in "Glad Tidings," "Faithfully Yours" and "Love and Let Love," combined with advance theater party sales are helping to keep those plays alive for the moment. After their backlogs are exhausted in a few weeks, it may be a different story.
and "Music in the Air" received mixed receptions, but all are doing good to better than capacity business. The first two are sell-outs for the time being at least.
Christopher Fry's "A Sleep of Prisoners," performed in a church, is another special case since it was brought in for a limited run before a national tour. Its business here is moderate but the tour is expected to put it in the black.
"The Fourposter," which arrived last week with two persons in the cast, seems to have caught on at a hit pace despite the fact that a third of the critics thought it a weak entry.
"The Number" early this week received about a 50-50 break in the notices and Maxwell Anderson's "Barefoot in Athens" had a slight critical edge in its favor. Anderson's play was the last October arrival.
"Top Banana," a new musical that opened Thursday night as the first entry of November, too late for evaluation here may turn the "Big Five" into the "Big Six" if the grapevine reports prove to be true. At least, it has a large advance sale.

- Miss Jones is a home economist for a slide fastener company, which sends her around to teach people how to keep their clothes and modesty intact with zippers.
"I'm just an innocent girl, who makes her living showing folks how to sew zippers into their garments" said the brunette as she zipped into Columbia this week.
An airline attendant gave Miss Jones the once-over as she boarded a plane in Raleigh, N.C., and after a fast double take tipped reporters here that actress Ava Gardner was coming to town.
"Those boys just wouldn't believe me when I told them I wasn't Ava," said the Roanoke, Va., miss after fending off a swarm of newsmen and photographers.
She declined to disclose any vital statistics except to say she's five-foot-ten, "and there's a lot more of me than there is of Ava." Her age? "Oh, twenty-five, six, seven or so."
Miss Gardner, who also hails from the land of hoceake and hoedown (Smithfield, N.C.), stands five-feet-and-a-half, weighs 118 and is 24. Green-eyed Ava, twice divorced, is married to crooner Frank Sinatra. Blue-eved Geraleen is unattached.
Miss Jones learned the tricks of her trade at the Richmond Professional Institute of the College of William and Mary. She's spending most of her time while in Columbia teaching local high school girls how to install zippers.
Miss Jones said she has never thought about the movies as a career, but added, "I reckon it wouldn't be bad, at that, would it?"

Our Mistake
In the Nov. 7 edition it was erroneously stated that Cordell Meeks was the lone Negro member of the Kansas legislature and an alumnus of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. The name should have been Miles Stevens. Mr. Meeks is a county commissioner for Wyandotte and is not a member of this fraternity.
