Bloomer Follows In Papa's Steps
The old adage, "Like Father, Like Son" has a new variation this year.
Betty Jo Bloomer, newly elected secretary of the freshman class is following right in her father's footsteps. Her father, Joe Bloomer, class of '24, was president of both his freshman and senior classes.
Although he has no sons, Mr. Bloomer need not worry—his only daughter seems to be doing quite well in carrying on family traditions.
Stagger Season For Quail Hunting
In an effort to protect the dwindling number of quail, the Kansas fish and game commission has set up a staggered quail season. This system will prevent shooting on consecutive days, thereby giving the quail a chance to re-form their coveys.
Shooting will be on Nov. 14, 16, 19,
21, 23, 26, 27, 28, Dec. 3 and 5. A quail stamp must be attached to the hunting license. Daily bag limit this year is 10 birds, with the possession limit of 20.
Shooting hours are from sunrise to 4:00 p. m. Hunters are warned that these regulations will be strictly enforced.
YW To Observe 75th Birthday
The 75th birthday of the national YWCA will be celebrated Saturday, beginning of a year of celebration. In commemoration of the founding of the organization, the University YWCA will give an alumni banquet in the early spring.
The first assembly of YWCA members was at the Illinois State Normal University in 1872. They believed that Bible study and prayer were the dynamo for public action. With this ideal in mind they drew up a constitution in 1873.
At the University YW banquet, the history of the chapter, given by Mary Lees will show the development of the movement on the Hill.
To Install Local Chapter

Beta Beta chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, national music fraternity for women, will be installed at the University Friday with 23 charter members. The ceremony will be held in the Kansas room of the Union.

William Hollis, Blind Student To Be Graduated Next June
William Hollis will be the first blind student to be graduated from the School of Business when he receives his bachelor of science degree in June.
In the spring of 1939, Hollis had an accident that changed his life, an accident that would usually defeat the most courageous. A flying discs slipped from the hands of a trackman and struck Hollis in the head, causing a blood clot and smashing vital nerves.
The blow effected Hollis' memory and for five years his only education was obtained through correspondence from the University. In the summer of 1945, he married a home-town girl named Edna. At the age of 26, Hollis started classes in the School of Business during the summer session, 1945.
Studying wasn't easy for him, but his wife enrolled in the same courses and, between the two of them, Hollis made a "B" average. Because of his handicap no written lessons are required of Holls.
Occasionally, he relaxes from his studies by walking or listening to the radio. When he wants more strenuous exercise, he likes to go to a golf driving range where he can hold his own with the average golfer.
The only way Hollis can get his assignments is to have his wife or friend read them to him, because none of the text books are written in braille. What would have been an insurmountable barrier to most of us has only caused a delay in Hollis' ambitions.
Hollis' father, Edgar Leon Hollis,
was graduated from the University
in 1920 with a bachelor of arts
degree.
