Fraternity Honor Initiates Given Banquet By IFC
Twenty-four men were honored at the annual honor initiate banquet sponsored by Inter-fraternity Council Monday night in the Kansas room of the Union.
Guest speakers were Dr. L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, and Prof. Emil L. Telfel, assistant professor of journalism. Attending the banquet were the three LF.C. members from each of 25 organized houses and the honor initiate.
Dale Helmers, master of ceremonies, introduced the speakers. Dean Woodruff briefly commended the honor initiates on their outstanding scholastic achievement.
In refuting the contention of many students that half a college education is participation in extra curricular activities, Prof. Telfel stated that outside activities have their place, but that "scholarship should be the ultimate goal in attending college."
He questioned the possibilities of a lazy student who loafs through four years of college achieving a worthwhile goal in later life. "You are a C student for one of two reasons," Professor Telfel said. "Either you haven't the ability to do better than C work, or you are lazy, waste time, or don't do your work."
Entertainment was provided by four members of Delta Delta Delta sorority. Members of the quartet were Bernadine read and Kitty Walter, fine arts seniors; Patricia Brubaker, College junior; and Marilyn Barr, fine arts sophomore.
Glover's Voice Is Flexible, Beautiful
In his senior recital Monday, Calvin C. Glover demonstrated a flexible and beautiful voice to a delighted audience that responded well to his dramatic emotionalism.
Opening with "Lasciatiemi Morire" by Monteverde, Glover went on to prove that he is able to interpret the music with great sensitivity. "Alle Gingen, Herz, Zur Ruh" (Hugo Wolf), three songs of the "Dichterliebe" cycle (Schumann), "Du Bist So Jung" (Erich Wolff), and "Bottschaft" (Brahms) were sung with appealing tenderness.
In the final group, Glover scored with Malotte's colorful "Upstream." John Payne's arrangement of "Crucifixion" was ably done with a deep feeling of religious devotion. The program also included Faure's "Clair de Lune" and "Nell."
Saturday Night Made Safe
Lambert, Miss., —(U.P.)— When John Oakes made a temporary chicken brooder of his bathtub until the wiring on the regular brooder was fixed, his two small children had one happy comment. "Good we won't have to take any more baths."

Norwegian Student Likes KU But Misses Winter Sports
Bv DEWAYNE OGLESBEE
In the United States only a year, Henrick A. Knudsen, College freshman, says he "likes this country a lot but misses the winter sports" of his home in Son, Norway.
Knudsen is tall and square-built and it is not difficult to imagine him as a rugged outdoorsman. He said he misses the mountains near his home where he skied in cross-country contests.
Son is a small resort town located on the Oslo florid, and "Nothing I've seen in the U. S. rivals the beauty of the florid in the summertime," commented Knudsen.
Knudsen is a pre-dental student in this country on an A. S. C. scholarship, and will he here until his graduation.
He said his parents are "very enthusiastic" about the United States. He "practically knew New York City" before he came to the country the Norwegian added. Knudsen has relatives in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Knudsen dresses and acts like a native American. The only trace of Norway is in his speech.
"I had a great deal of trouble with my speech when I first came to this country," he said. "A friend of mine in Pennsylvania took me to a lunch counter and asked me if I wanted a hotdog. I knew what a dog was and what hot meant, but I wasn't sure I would like to eat one."
Knudsen likes the students at the University and says, "I think American youth is outstanding. It is so much easier to make friends in this country. At home there are small cliques of young people, and it is very difficult to get in one of these."
Such common sights in the United States as automobiles, washing machines, and refrigerators are scarce in Norway.
"Life is much easier in this country," he said. "Here, you can have a car without being a millionaire.
Knudsen expressed the belief that
Groups Attend History Meeting
A delegation from the history department at the University is recently attended the annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical association in Oklahoma City.
"The only way we can hope for a chance in event of war is by keeping our defense in as good order as possible and by relying on the Atlantic pact," he stated.
Allan G. Bogue, a research assistant in the department of history last year, presented a paper entitled "The Land Mortgage Company in the Early Plains States" at a session on American agricultural history. Mr. Bogue is now connected with the University of Western Ontario.
"the Norwegian people really fear invasion by the Russians." He pointed out that the population of the country is only three million, and that the country depended on weapons from Marshall plan aid.
James K. Hitt, registrar, is attending the annual meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers in San Francisco recently. He returned to Lawrence Sunday.
Those who attended from K.U. are Dr. George L. Anderson, a member of the program committee. Mrs. Anderson, Dr. Anderson's children, and Jack W. Hines and Kenneth Beall, graduate students in the history department.
