U. Too few of us know the University oath of allegiance—here it is. "We will never bring disgrace to our University; we will cherish the ideals and sacred things of the University, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the University's laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those about us; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of civic duty; and thus, in all these ways, we will strive to transmit this, our beloved University, not only less, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us." There is a real challenge to students in those simple lines. The idea that we should not only not detract from the beauty of tradition and greatness of spirit that inhabits this great institution, but endeavor to add a measure of our own, is one of the greatest stimuli to cleanness and honesty of thought to be found anywhere in the world. It is your responsibility. Letters to the Editor Editor's Note: Every "Letter to the author" should be withheld from publication upon request, but the editor must know who the author is.

But no matter how hard they practice every night, the team alone is not enough. They must have the enthusiastic support of every student. The best way to show our team that we are boosting them is to get out and really yell. This requires cheerleaders to put it across. We already have some excellent ones but not enough. From new students who were cheerleaders in high school we should be able to acquire a pep organization that will really put fire into every game. Men's tryouts for cheerleader will be held soon and a practice session to familiarize new students with the yells is scheduled for Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Union building. There has been a shortage of men participating the last few years, so everyone who possibly can should try out. Let's get behind the fellows who really do the fighting. E.C. Your enrollment card is a contract to attend all of your classes regularly. The only way to withdraw from a course is to see the dean of your school and get his consent. It is necessary to get his consent to withdraw before you start absenting yourself from class. Rock Chalk Talk Rush Week Ramblings Double Take Surprise fairly leaped into the eyes of Mary Breed, who was a fashion expert at one of the rush dates. According to the script, Joy Godbehere was to appear in "a stunning Grecian crepe creation," when, through some mix-up, she stepped out in slacks and a tee-shirt. There was a quick rustling of papers, then Breed quickly quipped, "Well, even the Greeks had to relax sometimes." * * What's Your Name. Little Dirl? Wishing to liven up an otherwise dull day of teas, Marilyn Watkins, Salina, and Elaine Walker, Wichita, switched identity at one of the houses. Everything went well until someone asked Marilyn (Elaine) in what town she lived. Forgetting where the real Watkins resided, Elaine stated, "Why, Medicine Lodge, of course!" To which the inquisitor replied, "Funny, but I know a Marilyn Watkins, and I'm sure she's from Salina. . . .." And then there was the case of the anonymous rushee who wondered what would happen if she opened one of the closed doors on the upper floor of an anonymous sorority house. What do you know? Sick alums! *** --- By JOAN WOODWARD SOCIALLY SPEAKING Mary Margaret Gaynor, Society Editors Kappa Sigma Gives Dance Kappa Sig's welcomed the pre- winter weather Saturday with a sweater and skirt dance, held in the Kansas room from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. Plans were made by Fred Daneke and John Nichols.

Kiefers Visit Tipperary Speak Low Characters during rush week, we can safely say Now, were numerous. Sorority hostesses may remember the over-cautious rushee who, before answering any question, hastily thumbed through her "little blue book" to be sure she was committing no oral violation of rush week. Speaking of fast talk . . . that took the record! Under the Table Under the Table Have you heard of the new method whereby one may dance in the rain at the "Mite" keeping dry at the same time? If not, speak to Nancy Hullings. We're sure she'll recommend that you and your date dance on the terrace, holding a chair over your heads. It's quite practical, and attractive, too. We know cause we saw her do it. Also, if there are four of you, you can always sit on four damp chairs, hold a table over your heads, and play patty-cake. It's a lovely pastime on a blind day, when the conversation drags, as it usually does. Mistaken (?) Identity Pat Billings is still wondering why the two letters addressed to "Snow-shoes" and "Shovelfoot" were put in her mail box. Someone was either psychic, or had wonderful powers of observation, because, sure enough, the letters were for her. Testing Rooms, Staff, Added to Guidance Bureau Are you preparing for the right post-war career? Twice as many students this year as last are taking advantage of help given them by the vocational guidance bureau, Dr. A. H. Turney, direcor of the bureau, said today. To accommodate the increased demands for guidance, extensive remodeling was done to the offices of the bureau this past summer. A scoring and stock tests room, an occupation and information library, counsellors' rooms, and more testing rooms were built during August. The guidance staff has been enlarged. In addition to Dr. Turney, Dr. E. G. Kennedy is a counsellor, specializing in occupational education, Dr. C. B. Althaus is supervising all testing activities in and out of the bureau, and Miss Ruth Schillinger and Miss Jeanne Schenoweth are cycometrists. A second full-time clerk-stenographer has been added. Veterans, at the rate of about two a day, are seeking the aid of the guidance bureau for aid in selecting post-war vocations. Dr. Turney stated. This help is given by the bureau through terms of a Veterans' administration contract. The power of attraction which lodestone possesses was known as early as 600 B.C.

Other officers elected by the pledges are William Quiring, vice-president, and Anthony Veatch and James Tuthill, committeemen. S. A. E. Pledges Vote Theta's Entertain Guests Dr. and Mrs. Harry J.

"Wage adjustments for war workers in Kansas should not be difficult to make." Dr. L. L. Waters, associate professor of economics, stated in his bulletin, "Post War Employment in Kansas," released today by the University press. Dr. Waters Surveys Job Opportunities The study, made by the University bureau of business research, was financed by a special appropriation of the state legislature for industrial research. The booklet surveys job opportunities in relation to the number of men and women who are seeking and will seek employment in Kansas, with special emphasis on the problems caused by closing of war plants in Wichita, Kansas City, Parsons, and Lawrence. Dr. Waters estimates that 20,000 war workers and veterans will be looking for jobs in Kansas, and that economic opportunities must be opened through the expansion of industry, commerce, and agriculture. Pan-Hellenic Council To Meet Tomorrow The Pan-Hellenic council will meet in the Union building at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow to make plans and to review activities of the fall rush week, Jane Miller, president, announced today.
