University Daily Kansan Presents—
Athletics, Air Force And Farming Are Pastimes Of Joe Mendenhall
Football, basketball, softball or tennis—it doesn't make any difference to Joseph Mendenhall, College junior, because he likes them all. Joe's hobby is following sporting events. He played two years of varsity football and now he plays on the Beta Theta Pi fraternity's intramural basketball and softball team. Joe doesn't play golf now, but he plans to take it up just as soon as he is too old to play anything else.
The air force is Joe's second love. He served two years in that service as an enlisted man and is now a lieutenant colonel in the University R.O.T.C. Joe is majoring in political science because he thinks it will be useful to him in a career with the Air Force. He is a member of Scabbard and Blade, honorary military organization.

Joe is the youngest of five children—three girls and two boys. His brother was killed in the navy during the war and his oldest sister is
Another one of Joe's interests is farming. The Mendenhalls moved to Lawrence about three years ago, but before that Joe and his family lived on a farm in western Kansas. Joe is firmly convinced that a field of wheat can be every bit as beautiful as a range of mountains.
Joe is quick to admit he isn't a "grind," but says he believes in sitting back and relaxing to enjoy life.

"Once that curtain is up," said John Golden, the veteran Producer; "there's no further need for the producer, the director, the playwright, or the scenic designer. It's in the hands of the actors and the gods — in that order." — Leonard Lyons, "the Lyons Den", Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh, Pa.
