Monday, Nov. 12, 1951
49th Year No. 42
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Two minutes and 12 second after the seniors roared out the secret yell that they had rehearsed Friday, the Jayhawkers hammered across their first touchdown of the game.
"Four years later," figuratively the freshman band that had crossed the field at the beginning of the ceremonies came marching back again. Wearing graduation mortarboards, and gowns, they marched with confidence, dignity and split-time precision.
The band then formed the numerals 52 in salute to the senior class.

The high light of the ceremonies came with the crowning of Sydney Ashton, education senior, as Calendar queen. Bruce Zuercher, business senior, presented a floral bouquet to her. Donovan Hull, senior class president, placed the crown on her head.
The band then formed a bell, commemorating the construction of the Campanile. Following that, the letters "MRS" were formed, signifying the degree which the majority of the senior coeds will be working for after their college days end.
The ceremonies were concluded with the playing of "Auld Lang Syne."
The only rebellious note of the afternoon was struck when the class of '54 paraded by the stands with banners waving, carrying a stretcher bearing the remains of the "old" seniors.
make sure the team understood their second quarter "orders."
Besides "winning the game" Saturday, the seniors also provided the halftime ceremonies. They began with a band, representing the class of '52 as freshmen, marching across the field befuddled, confused and out of step.
A bugler played "taps" in tribute to the members of the class of '52 who had been called to service and will not return. The silence in the stadium was so great that the clatter of typewriters from the press box across the field could be heard clearly. Few people failed to remove their hats.
Before the second half began the seniors let out their yell again to
The University band then took over, playing "Barbarian Fanfare." They formed the letters "Prof" in tribute to the faculty. A large shield was formed as a salute to the nation's armed forces.
It seems they did.

Main Culture Contrast Of East And West Is Different Emphasis, Pearl Buck Says
By LORENA BARLOW
The difference in emphasis is one of the main contrasts in the cultures of America and Asia, Pearl S. Buck told students and faculty members Friday.
Miss Buck spoke on the subject "East and West-Contrast in Culture" in Fraser Theater.
The peoples of Asia, she said, consider different things than we do important. Their old culture has had to come "face to face with the new driving culture of America."
China and India are both very tolerant toward religion, Miss Bucks said, but each in its own way. China offered such tolerance that the Jewish people, for example, could not remain isolated and the two religious "melted together."
While the East has a common antiquity, which goes back thousands of years, it is important to think of each individual country with its own distinct history.
On the other hand, she continued,
India allowed the Jews to remain
and retain their individuality as
their way of tolerance.
Japan is not the imitator that most people believe her to be, Miss Buck explained. It is the Japanese tradition to go abroad, learn of things most suited to them and take them home. This is not imitation since the Japanese adapt whatever they learn to best fit their conditions.

"The family systems of China and India are what has kept these countries alive for many years." Miss Buck said. "The family, more over, is a centralizing force and includes
"The difference of the East and West lies in the difference of development," Miss Buck said. "We must both adjust these two extremes in order to have real peace and understanding."
Above all, there is a great respect or others.
everyone bearing the sir name who is related.
"The Communists are relieving the famine situation which has always been a drastic problem in China," she commented. "They are stimulating commerce, but they are tightening controls and suppressing initiative in private business."
She said it was uncertain what the little man in China thought about Communism.
"It's too early to determine the affects of Communism in China," said Pearl S. Buck, author of many novels about China.

China Famine Relieved-Buck
"A starving fellow doesn't ask questions about government when he gets a meal set in front of him.
"In some places this little man is forming an underground on the China mainland. It's embryonic and too disorganized to be effective. But it will grow," she predicted.
There are several reasons why this system is a good one, Miss Buck said. It is a complex, yet simple pattern of human relations. There is mutual tolerance and love. Each member has emotional security
Miss Buck expressed the belief that Chiang Kai-shek was finished.
She said it would be useless to sent Nationalist troops to invade the mainland because they are not strong enough.
Miss Buck, who has spent 17 years in China, is the only woman to receive the Nobel prize for literature. She received the prize in 1938 and the Pulitzer prize for "The Good Earth" in 1933.

TKE's Banned From Carnival
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity was suspended from taking part in the Student Union carnival Saturday because of an allegedly obscene display during the half-time of the KU-Lovola game.
The display consisted of a wagon on which was a large poster of a nude woman. It advertised the TKE candidate for the "Little Man on the Campus" contest held in connection with the carnival
The fraternity has been asked to apologize to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy for their actions as a symbolic apology to the University as a whole.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, took action immediately after the game and disqualified the fraternity from entering their LMOC candidate and their booth in the carnival.
Further disciplinary action has been referred to the disciplinary committee of the All Student Council.

Joan Lodde, College sophomore and a member of Chi Omega, was selected by the policemen as Worthal's pin-up girl. She was presented a dozen red roses and a trophy.
Booths of every color and description lined the large drill hall where the Collegian band played music from 9 to midnight.

Booth winners were selected on the basis of the number of tickets sold and ratings given by three anonymous faculty judges.

Yellow baby chicks were the "beep" in the peep show.
One booth was shaped like a pineapple. A fish pooch booth was entered through a fish mouth. Students who entered a purple and gold saw tent Bathsheba, a turtle, bathe.
Inside a red and white tent six Pi Beta Phi freaks are on exhibit. They included a mermaid, a bearded woman, Siamese twins, a fat lady, a strong woman and a blind date who would cause anyone to give up blind dating forever.
The mermaid has sore ankles today from wagging her fish tail so long at the carnival.
