Business Manager BETTY BEACH ... Advertising Manager Peace and Quiet By the slow but effective method of trail and error, freshman week, that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of any new student's memory, has become more of a joy than a terror. Some details must still be ironed out, but on the whole this year, tranquility took precedence in the freshman mind over the frustration of the past in which the University and its traditions were a hazy background for thoughts of a desirable residence on the Hill. No. undergraduate, with the possible exception of returned veterans, remembers the time when prospective fraternity members left their home towns five days earlier than prospective independents. The system worked as far as the mechanics of planning were concerned. But it gave people back home the idea that there were two schools up here, beginning at different times for different people. So freshman orientation was synchronized with rush week, and for several years all University students left the mark at the same time. This, however, created another problem. After the first five days most new Greeks had lost their vigor for the race. Two 24-hour plans did not fit comfortably into one 24-hour period, especially when along with rushing from one place to another, many new students were constantly preoccupied with their progress or lack of progress toward a Greek goal. Finally, this year, in an attempt to diminish both physical and mental wear and tear on the new student, orientation was moved up another notch; the last freshman examination was over before rushes were officially recognized as such. On the whole this new plan worked. New students had much more time to themselves. Things were still lively, but the old desperation of hurrying and worrying was gone. The authorities responsible for this evolution are to be congratulated. Along with decreasing the candidates for middle age heart murmur, they have at last started out in the general direction of making new students a part of the University before they become a part of a fraternity, sorority, or dorm group—M. M. The WSSF campus drive will begin Oct. 15 in connection with the Community Chest drive. Meredith Gear, College junior, will head the drive, assisted by 39 members of the YWCA. Funds will be used to aid college students in Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, England, Holland, Switzerland, and China. Rock Chalk Talk By CATHY PILLER Even though most people like to buy a car in order to ride to their destination, still others just like to see if they can make any old junk heap work again. Such is the case with Jim Sanders, Chuck Ball, and Jim Greghe, Phi Delts. When their dates complain about having to walk back up the Fourteenth street hill after an unsuccessful attempt to start the "new" car, the fellows just smile lovingly at the thought of working with machines and say, "But it's a good car!" *** Jim Sheppard, Sig Alph, and Nancy Slater, Kappa, almost came to blows the other day when "Shep's mind wandered away from conversation about Nancy's parents and didn't catch up again until she had whipped on to another subject. "Of course I do," he answered instantly. "Do you like them?" he heard her ask. Nancy stared at him and answered that most boys didn't and that she didn't know whether she did or not. At this point Shep became quite disgusted and began an explosive lecture on how too many young people just didn't appreciate their parents, and that she certainly shouldn't let other After a moment of shocked silence, Nancy explained in a very feeble voice that she had been talking about antiques. Guess Jim will keep his mind on the conversation after this. OFFICIAL BULLETIN University of Kansas Monday, October 2 "You know," she exclaimed in excitement, "He is the only red-haired boy I've ever seen with brown eyes!" Joan Woodward, red-headed Pi Phi, is almost certain that she has discovered a long-lost brother. While walking down the street with Don Fricker, Phi Gam, she noted that people always looked at them rather closely, and finally came to the conclusion that people must think she and Don looked like brother and sister. Mittimaude Hunter, Alpha Chi, is having a terrible time keeping track of a beautiful picture of her very handsome brother, Lester. It seems that it is not only taken into rooms of her sorority sisters but has even traveled over to the Kappa house for a week or so. fellow's opinions alter hers. *** Mitti pleads that he'll be back at the Kappa Sig house next semester, and the girls can lure him off in person all they want, but right now all she wants is the picture.

Just Plain Ku Ku —Even to Pup A little brown pup this morning was greatly bewildered by Thursday night's KuKu initiation. Fearing to approach too closely, he stood some 15 feet away from a strange object lying in front of Dyche museum, and barked with much vehemence. Students smiled as they drew nearer and discovered the cause of the little dog's excitement—a waterlogged, cast-off matress evidently some KuKu pledge had discarded. Sings Tonight This is Joseph F.
