Marian Is One Of Few Women To Be Editor Of Jayhawker
Marian Rippeetau has the distinction of being the fifth woman in 62 years to be chosen editor of the Jayhawker. Her present position as editor-in-chief came after she had been an associate editor of the annual for two years.
Marian says that her interest in year books began in high school when she was one of four juniors to be chosen as assistant for the Sachem, the year book of Southwest high school in Kansas City, Mo. The next year she worked on the staff as activities co-editor. Since that time, working on magazines and year-books has been one of her major interests.
Miss Marian Rippeteau
After a year at Randolph-Macon Woman's college in Lynchburg, Va., she came to K.U. with the idea of studying music and the ambition to become a concert pianist.
However, while she worked on the Jayhawker, her interest was side tracked. At the beginning of her junior year she changed her major to English and took creative writing.
Besides the Jayhawker, Marian has been editor of Trunk, literary magazine of the Quill club, and the Student Directory. For the Gamma Phi Beta sorority national convention in 1948, she edited a booklet on initiation procedure. Poems and short stories by this brown-haired, green-eyed senior have been published in the Tatler, literary magazine of Randolph-Macon, Trend, and the National Anthology of High School Poetry.
In any spare time which she may have now, Marian is working on a Christmas story for children. When it has been illustrated by Lu Anne Powell, special student in education, she hopes to publish it in book form.
Her other activities include being a member of the A.W.S. president's council, senior gift committee, senior class day committee, activities chairman for Gamma Phi Beta sorority, member of Quill club and of Madeoelle's College Board. She was a delegate to the Associated
Collegiate Press convention in Detroit, Mich. during the fall semester.
Marian is the recipient of the Lavern Noyes scholarship and is on the dean's honor roll.
Although her editorial work is a long way from her former music major, she still hopes to have time "sometime in the future" to resume his piano study again. In the meantime, one of her hobbies is collecting recordings of piano concertos, particularly Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Beethoven, and gypsy music. Her most thrilling moment was when she played a piano concerto with the University of Kansas City orchestra when she was a senior in high school.
Marian is interested in all fields of publication from editing a magazine such as Flair or Harpers to free lance writing.
The following men were initiated: Myron D. George, Richard R. McCall, Ralph C. Lamb, Jr., William G. Landess, James E. Harris III, Kendrick C. Davidson, Lee Hooples, Williard H. Larsh, Jr., and Jack Stone-street.
