Drake Star's Fraternity At KU Watches Bright Incident Closely
Members of the Kansas chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity have taken a keen interest in the current controversy over the jaw injury to hallback Johnny Bright of Drake university.
Bright is a member of the Kappa A. Psi chapter at Drake. His jaw was broken last month in a football game between Drake and Oklahoma A&M. As a result, much of the bulletin board at the chamber house at KU is taken up by newspaper and magazine clippings on the incident.
The house at 1134 Mississippi street is the third which Mu chapter has occupied. Chartered in 1921 by a group of Negro students, including H. N. Stone, local businessman, the fraternity's first house was located at 14th and N.J. street. The organization moved to 816 Maine street soon afterward and remained there for 19 years.
In the fall of 1950 the growth in membership necessitated moving to the present house. This semester, several new articles of furniture have been added and many of the rooms redecorated.
Nationally, Kappa Alpha Psi was founded in 1911 at the University of Indiana. It was known as Kappa Alpha Nu until 1914. Today there are 94 undergraduate and 97 alumni chapters.
Among the brothers in the fraternity are the publisher of both "Ebony" and "Negro Digest" magazines, leading national Negro publication. Cordell Meeks, lone Negro member of the Kansas legislature, is a Mu alumni.
Men In Korea Want Letters From Home
New York—(U.P.)—Next to coming home for keeps, the boys in Korea want mail from home. Peggy Alexander entertainer, reports after a tour of battlefronts.
Miss Alexander, a small and comely blonde dancer, reported that everywhere she went in her two-months tour with USO camp shows, the one request she heard most was, "Wish we could get back to the States." Next was the plea, "Tell the folks back home we want more mail."
"They want letters . . . letters . . .
letters," the entertainer said. "If you've been writing twice a week to
a son or brother or boy friend at the
front, make it a letter once a day.
You can't send too many."
"You've no idea until you've talked
about what news from home
means," she said.
Miss Alexander has traveled nearly 160,000 miles in World War II and the Korean war, dancing and singing for the troops.
"In Korea we got close to the shooting," she said. "Sometimes we gave a show on the back of a truck, with the enemy only a thousand yards away."
The "we" consisted of four girls, all doing solo acts.
"The colonel in special services worried about four women touring the front, she said. "You can't be so sad and safer than four females, though."
Tours now are much like those of the last world war. Peegy said.
"Just as in the movies, we live in tents, wash our hair and do our laundry in GI helmets," she explained.
The girls gave two or three shows a day, moving to a new area each day. Sometimes they were "dropped" into an area by helicopter, a method Peggy never knew in World War II.
"We took one day a week off," she said. "We used it to do our nails our laundry and our hair."
Peggy's hair, natural blonde but highlighted with peroxide, posed a problem.
"Iran out of peroxide at the front," she said. "A medicine finally came to my aid with his own mixture. I never had anything do a better bleach job."
Peggy said when she came home to Brooklyn she was amazed when she heard Americans were slacking off on their blood donations.
"I don't know how they could care so little," Peggy said.

We're Happy To Spread The News That M-G-M's
"An American In Paris"
Hollywood —(U,P)— Ever noticed those "cheesecake" shots of Marie Wilson are getting scarcer and scarcer? Producer Cy Howard's the man to blame.
Will Be An Important Event!
No Cheesecake Shots For Marie Wilson
"Everybody hates me," he sighed today. "For five years now, ever since we started 'My Friend Irma,' photographers have been begging me for sexy pictures of Marie.
"And I kill 'om all. Even the ones they try to sneak by me I kill. On purpose. So go ahead . . hate me!"
"She kind of likes this cheesecake stuff," he added. "And she has got a gorgeous shape. But I've got a reason.
Howard said even Marie herself gets mad at him.
"Whether Marie likes it or not, she's Irma, and Irma is a sweet, simple, stupid, dumb blonde that everyone loves. She's not the plunging neckline type. She's the buttoned-up-blowse type."
So be it. For five years now the voluptuous Marie has been posing in buttoned-up-blouses. Howard admits it frustrates her.
"Heck, it even frustrates me," he growled. "I've fought this thing so long it's ruining my own private life.
"For a while there I got so bad I resented EVERY dame I met, who big curves. And if she showed her smile like handing her a shawl to wear."
"The minute most girls start to take off their clothes," he contended, "they take off their glamour, too.
"Same thing there," he shrugged.
"I know Marie has gorgeous legs."
But no leg art for Irma—so no leg art of Marie. Those half-naked poses don't add glamour one bit," he said.
Howard's got a big mad on against legs, too.
