State Legislature Explained In Bulletin
If the 1947 Kansas legislature, which convenes January 14, follows the custom of its predecessors, the governor will have no opportunity to kill any bill by "pocket veto."
Kansas legislatures by custom remain in session for three days after the last bill is passed. Thus bills sent to the governor either become law or the legislature has an opportunity to re-pass by a two-thirds majority those vetoed.
This information is contained in a bulletin, "The Kansas Legislature Its Organization and Work," issued by the Bureau of Government Research at the University. One of the "Your Government" series, the bulletin is written in non-technical language to show the day-to-day workings of the legislature to the citizen.
145 Students Aided By Reading Clinic
About 145 students, many of them veterans, have been aided by the reading clinic in the basement of Fraser hall this year, according to Dr. Bert Nash, head of the clinic. The students have attained an increased reading rate $_{10}$ a larger vocabulary, and a greater ability to understand what they read, he said.
The clinic offers eye correction, vocabulary training, instruction in getting general meaning from read- ing and any individual reading difficulty.
"The basic difficulty with most readers is poor vocabulary," Dr. Nash says. "Ninety per cent of students and faculty members could improve their reading speed if they wished to do so."
Space and time was given by the clinic for laboratory reading practice formerly. Because of the lack of space and staff members, this service has been discontinued.
Phi Mu Alpha, honorary men's music fraternity, will broadcast over station KFKU at 9:30 p.m. Wednes- day.
To Broadcast On KFKU
Missouri's Giant Jim Kekeris Says,
So the story goes, Jim Kekeris, monstrous Missouri university gridster, when asked his choice of fraternities, replied with "I wanna be a Phi Beta Kappa."
The oldest of the so-called Greek letter societies, the fraternity was founded Dec. 5, 1776, at William and Mary college, Williamsburg, Va. Its original purposes were the encouragement of patriotism, scholarship, and especially literature.
Phi Beta Kappa One Of Best Fraternities
In just a few years, chapters had been established at Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth. It has continually expanded until today its activity is quite widespread.
Whether or not Kekeri was only joking, or if the story is true no one will ever know. The point is that Phi Beta Kappa is something that is known to exist, and yet the average student knows little about it.
Membership to the fraternity is
Of course "Mr. Average's" knowledge of the organization is by no means as lacking as Kekeris' statement implied his was. Most persons are aware of certain requirements but have little idea what they are.
As a badge, Phi Beta Kappa has a gold watch key with simple emblems and inscriptions.
At the University, in order to be considered, the candidate must be in the upper six to 10 percent of his class.
To be chosen as a junior the member must have almost a straight A average. If chosen as a senior the average may be as low as 2.5, according to his other achievements while in school.
Y.M.C.A. Forum Discussion
The first in a series of movie forums sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Pine room of the Union.
The movie, "Peoples of Russia," will be shown, and Mrs. Rachel Soloveitchik, instructor in Russian, will lead a discussion on "Can We Get Along with Russia."
