Five Males Try For Crown As Dance 'King'
Five males will vie for the traditional Pep King crown at the annual Jay Janes Vice-Versa dance Saturday, from 9 to midnight in the Military Science building.
The five men who were chosen by members of the Jay Janes at a meeting Wednesday in the Union are Forrest Griffith, Phi Delta Theta; Richard Wintermote, Delta Upsilon; Dave Ritchie, Phi Gamma Delta; Bob Mercer; Phi Kappa Psi; and Lynn Leigh Stigma Chai.
Ballots will be cast at the dance for one of the five finalists.
The sweater and skirt dance is the annual turn-about party where the women do the asking and furnish the corsage and ticket.
Other candidates nominated by the men's organized houses were Richard Sime, Alpha Tau Omega; Gair Sloan, Delta Chi; Gerry Malone, Delta Tau Delta; Don Price, Kappa Sigma, Marion Anderson, Phi Chi; Bill Hart, Pi Kappa; Gene Bradley, Pi Kappa Alpha; Jack Hubik, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Jim May, Sigma Phi Epsilon; William Roehl, Sigma Nu; Tom Gregg, Tau Kappa Epsilon; James Nelson, Battenfeld; Kenneth Regenold, Spooner Thayer.
Date Bureau Needs Girls
It may be Leap year, but men aren't waiting to be asked to the Jay Jane Vice-Versa dance Saturday from 9 to midnight in the Military Science building.
The date bureau set up in the Union building by the Jay Janes to get dates for those who want them has been getting most of the requests from men who want dates for the dance.
"Our biggest problem is finding enough women to fill the number of male requests," Kathleen Broers date bureau chairman, said today.
"Most of the men don't understand that it doesn't cost them anything to use the bureau or to go to the dance," she said. "The women pay for everything—tickets, funny or fancy corsages, and refreshments at the dance." ___

VA Advises GI Medicos
Veteran students about to enter medical school under the G-I bill or public Law 16 stand a better-than-average chance of completing their training successfully if they have:
Obtained grades of "B" plus or better, made good grades in the natural sciences, and enrolled for medical training in the same educational institution in which they took their premedical work.
After two weeks of taking x-rays of students at K-State, student health workers have come up with some unusual facts that have nothing whatsoever to do with student health.
The Veterans' administration warned that scholastic aptitude tests alone and the length of the pre-medical training have little bearing upon a student's chances for success.
X-Rays Give Facts On K-State Students
Other information released by the V.A. states that World War II veterans are ineligible for training under the G-I bill or Public Law 16 while they are taking training in certain courses financed by other federal appropriations. When they finish such training, veterans become eligible to continue their studies or take other training under either of the two laws.
