Worthal Is Low Man On Totem Pole
Bv BOR SANFORD
If you see a campus policeman reading a "Little Man on Campus" book while he distributes parking tickets, it doesn't mean that he is bored, he is studying "Worthalology."
This policeman, with his knowledge of Worthalology, will help select a campus counterpart of Worthal, hero of the L.M.O.C. cartoon, and will help choose for Worthal a pin-up-girl mate at the Union winter carnival.
The carnival, which will take place in the drill hall of the Military Science building at 8 p.m., Feb. 3, will also have music for dancing by the Varsity Crew orchestra, and 24 amusement booths sponsored by organized houses.
Candidates may enter by giving their name and a photograph suitable for judging to the Student Union activities office by Jan. 29. The photographs will be displayed above ballot boxes at the carnival and 10 cent voting tickets will be sold to students upon admission. General admission will be 75 cents per couple.
Any student is eligible to try for the L.M.O.C. or pin-up titles. Organized houses will be allowed one representative each and independent students may represent groups or enter singularly.
The top four candidates in the contests will be elected by the voting and the winners will be chosen from this group by the campus cons.
This is the first L.M.O.C. contest to be held on the campus and is an attempt to get away from the king and queen or B.M.O.C. type. Because the idea is new, success in
Trophies will be awarded the chosen Worthal and his pin-up mate. Several campus campaigns for the Worthal and pin-up crowns have begun, with waxed cowlicks, bathing suits, and all.
Worthal is the creation of Dick Bibler, '50, who started the L.M.O.C. cartoons in the University Daily Kansan in 1945. L.M.O.C. has since become a syndicated national feature, being published in college papers from coast to coast.
the contest will depend on the candidates' originality.
The Varsity Crew orchestra, in playing for the carnival, will feature trombonist Jack Zimmerman, who was lately a featured soloist with Gene Krupa; Ronnie Washington, alto saxophonist, who played with the Charlie Parker band in New York; and the trumpet work of Wayne Ruppenthal, formerly with Charlie Barnet. Arrangements for the band are done by Jim McCaig, who arranged formerly for the Dick Haughton orchestra.
The carnival booths, which will encircle the dance floor, will contain such wonders as freaks, fortune tellers, balloon shaving contests, fish tanks, microphone and spirometer tests, magicians, and gay-nineties reviews.
Station 'Kilroy' Airs Music For GI's Throughout Korea
Trophies for first and second best booths will be awarded for both men's and women's house competition.
With U.S. Forces Korea—U.P.)—A sergeant with a green cap cocked on the side of his head sits in an army van in front of a console filled with dials and switches. He flips a switch. The National anthem sounds.
And United Nations troops in Korea—those who are fortunate enough to be near a unit with a radio set—know that their own station somewhere in Korea is on the air. What they probably don't know is that they are listening to the only mobile radio station in the world set up to broadcast commercial-type programs.
"This is the Armed Forces Radio station in Korea—the Kilroy station," the sergeant says into a microphone.
It began broadcasting from a mobilie unit somewhere south of Seoul on January 7. It had closed down its broadcasts from the American embassy office building in Seoul at 6 o'mon on the day before the Chinese Communists entered the Korean capital. There was a three day period of silence while the mobile unit rolled down the road in convoy. Then the truck-studio began.
The A.F.R.S. station which brings music, news, and favorite statewide programs to the G.I.'s in Korea is operating from a two and one-heft ten truck. Its sending aerial is a piece of wire stretched 750 feet from the top of a big tree to the roof of a Korean girls' school building.
"And we've been calling ourselves the Kilroy station' ever since," said M-Sgt. Ted Bentley, 38, of (327 Myers place) Inglewood, Calif. Bentley is first sergeant of the unit which includes nine enlisted men and one officer.
"We don't know where we'll be next and nobody else does either—that's why we are 'the Kilroy station,'" said Sgt. Jack O'Lone, 21, of Daytona Beach, Fla.
O'Lone, the program director, said the two most popular programs judged from letters received from the troops are "Home Corral" featuring western music and "Rice Paddy Ranger" featuring popular recordings. Both are disc jockey programs.
"Sgt. Larry Murphy, our traffic manager, handles the Home Corral program," O'Lone said. "He does the yak yak and spins the records. He's known as 'the Massachusetts hillbilly.'"
Murphy, 21, is from Auburndale Mass.
The disc jockey on the Rice Paddy Ranger program is "whoever is on duty at the time."
The Kilroy station has a basic record library of about 65,000 numbers. Inside the van besides the library are a console, two turntables, a 250 watt transmitter, a tape recorder, three shortwave receivers for bringing in the news and special events from Tokyo and the states, a maintenance unit, a large card file for the library and a lot of technical equipment.
"We've got a least two gimicks," O'Lane said. "One is that we're probably the only station in the world which signs off the air by saying, 'gentlemen, the national anthem.' Others say 'Ladies and gentlemen ...' The other is that at one time—when we stayed until the next to the last day in Seoul—we probably were serving more Communist troops than our own."
Each student must accumulate 10 points for initiation by the completion of various jobs connected with Player's productions.
Those to be initiated are: Eldith Williamson, engineering senior; Natalie Logan, education senior; Shirley Stalzer, Margaret Fisher, Carol Donovan, Leo Stewart, and Eugene Rinker, education junior; Joeour fine arts sophomore; Gloria Anne Lehmann, William Van Almen, Marilyn Dubach, College mores; Vernie Theden, Jo Anna March, Marcia Gore, Jane Ausherman, and Mark Gilman, College freshmen.
Sixteen students have been accepted for initiation into the University Players next month.
University Players To Initiate Ten
He Prefers Football
Spokane—(U.P.)—Jackie Klug, 19-year-old mother expecting her second child in February, filed suit for divorce. She charged that her 19-year-old husband Phillip left her to play high school football.
WORTHIAL, the Little Man on Campus, who will be the honored guest at the Union winter carnival. A campus counterpart for Bibler's Worthal and a pin-up-girl mate will be chosen for the carnival to be held Feb. 3.
French Club Chooses King And Queen
A king and a queen were chosen and crowned at the Fete des Rois dinner of the French club in the Hawk's nest in the Union Wednesday night.
Queen of the feast was Edwina Carolyn Schock, College sophomore, and the king was Bernard Lamy, graduate student from Gambetta, France.
Celebrating the "Feast of the Kings" is an old French custom, and the main feature of the fete is a big cake on which little figures resembling a king and a queen are baked. The cake is served and those getting the figures are crowned.
The latest device to ease kitchen labors is a bottled batter for making pancakes. With the flick of your finger on the nozzle the batter, packed under pressure with carbon dioxide, fluffs out of the container.
The Fete des Rois was derived from the story in the Bible about the Wise Men from the East, and is celebrated in many European countries.

London—(U.P.)—Informed quarters said today that Communist China may accept United Nations proposals for a cease fire and a Far Eastern peace conference with "certain reservations."
Sardar Pannikar, Indian ambassador in Peking, was understood to have advised Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in London that Red China would agree to take part in peace talks provided;
1. Communist troops remain in their present positions in Korea during the conference.
Next Class Starts Feb. 12
Excellent clinical facilities
Recreational and athletic activities. Dormitories on campus. Approved for veterans.
1851 F. Larrabee Chicago 14, III.
2. A Korean cease-fire shall take effect simultaneously with the start of the peace talks, not before them.
Informed quarters said the Chinese seemed more willing to accept proposals from the U.N. Political committee than from its three-man "base-fire" committee, which Peking contends is not "representative."
Red China Might Accept UN Cease-Fire Proposal
The Political committee proposed a cease-fire in Korea and a conference among the United States, Britain, Communist China and the Soviet Union on a Korean settlement, China's claim to a seat in the U.N. and the future of Formosa.
Sources here said Peking devices indicated China realized that rejection of all U.N. proposals for four-power talks would weaken its chances of getting a seat in the U.N. and establishing its claim to Formosa.
The Ingenious Genius
Hollister, Calif.—(U.P.)—An enterprising reporter for the Hollister Evening-Free Lance was refused admittance to the Salinas, Calif., jail cell of a prisoner charged with murder. Undaunted he returned to Hollister and placed a person to person call to the prisoner. A sheriff's deputy obligingly brought the prisoner to the telephone and the reporter had an exclusive half-hour interview.
Patronize Kansan Advertisers
The Chinese were said to recognize that it might be politic to discuss a Far Eastern settlement while U.N. forces still have a foothold in Korea, If the U.N. forces should be driven into the sea, the United States particularly would be in no mood for bargaining, informants believed.
Abbey Wins Singles Table Tennis Match
Fletcher Abbey, College senior,
