Coronation Ball To Highlight National ISA Convention
A Sweetheart Coronation ball will highlight the national convention of the Independent Students' association to be held at the University March 29 to March 31. A sweetheart will be chosen from candidates representing more than 100 I.S.A. chapters in other schools.
An I.S.A. emblem introduced here this year may be worn on a key or locket chain or as a pin with a Jayhawk safety guard. The letters "I.S.A." are printed over a red and white arrow on a gold shield.
The activities of Trojan club, the combined L.S.A. wards for men not living in organized houses, have included exchange hour dances and dinners with women's dormitories, coffee forums, get-acquainted smokers, and regular 7:30 p.m. Monday meetings. All L.S.A. members receive movie discount books which admit them to specified movies at the Granada theater in Lawrence for 35 cents, now to "King Solomon's Mines."
Its headquarters are in the Union, part of an unused elevator shaft, are adjacent to the Pine room. A foot ladder leads to "offices above in the stone-walled 'shaft' which is decorated in green and brown.
I. S.A. representatives are now selling some 3100 boxes of Christmas cards depicting such campus scenes as the chancellor's home, the Museum of Natural History, Jayhawk or Strong hall, as part of their fund-raising campaign. Cash prizes will be awarded outstanding salesmen.
Also on the L.S.A. social docket for coming months are a spring formal, a Little Chicago party featuring gambling and non-legged tender, a Bum's ball, a hayride, and a box supper. A president's dinner announcing and honoring the I. S. A. president for 1951-52 and a council retreat at Lone Star lake to plan activities for the coming school year are also planned.
A variety of social activities, money-raising campaigns, service functions, a new office, and a new emblem characterize the University chapter of I.S.A.
The semi-yearly award of a $50 scholarship to an independent student is one service function of the group. The scholarship, originated in 1946, is based especially on financial need.
Students entering the University receive from I.S.A. a booklet called "Independents at the University of Kansas" on housing, recreation, activities, and the I.S.A. at K.U.
Two copies of the group's local publication, "Liberty Bell" have been mailed to I.S.A. members this year. The paper replaces "Kan Do."
LS.A. originated at K.U. in 1937 as the Independent Student union. That year 300 students attended its first in a series of dances. The group entered a float in the Homecoming parade and a candidate for Homecoming queen.
In April, 1937 eight University delegates attended the first National IS.A. convention in Norman, Okla., and the 1939 convention was scheduled at K. U. The Independent Student union became the Independent Students' association, and the group was granted $300 from the Student Activity Reserve fund to entertain at the 1939 convention.
In 1944, with a decreased membership, I.S.A. became a social division of the Independents, whose activities were political, social, and service, and published the newsletter Kan Do.
1939 membership jumped from 20 to 500 in less than five school months, and I.S.A. entered five teams in each intramural sports events. Its first publication was Jav Talk.
With ratification of a new constitution in 1946, the old independent organization was merged in I.S.A., and membership grew to more than 800. An annual watermelon feed, roller skating party, box supper, Christmas formal, Wednesday night hour dances, and a Spring formal were planned.
By 1946 membership was approximately 1,100, and six delegates attended the national I.S.A. convention in Norman, Okla. The group stated as its purpose increasing social contacts between independent men and women and emphasized its separation from University politics. Membership today is more than 500, council and a representative council.
I. S.A. is governed by an executive council elected yearly from candidates who have applied and have been accepted by a nominating committee. The eighth member, a business manager, is appointed by the executive council.
