Rock Chalk Talk
By ANNE SCOTT
After the Jayhawker staff had made an announcement urging all freshmen who were interested to come in and work, one eager freshman, Keith Wilson, decided to offer his services. He walked into the office which was empty of everyone but Joan Woodward, Pi Phi, who was sweeping the floor, and pleaded for work. Joan insisted that there was nothing to do, but he was so persistent that she finally gave him her broom, and he spent a very happy afternoon cleaning the Jayhawker office.
Two young ladies with their Nu Sig dates decided one evening to visit the pioneer cemetery and look around for some excitement. They spotted one tomb stone which was inscribed in the German language. Being medics, the boys decided to try to translate. They managed to work out the words "with" and "birth," and thus came to the conclusion that this departed soul had died in childbirth. Yet, over the German inscription was the name—Carl A. Ross.

Speaking of new students, they can certainly get themselves confused. Mary Jean HoFman, Kappa pledge, walked into her logic class and wondered all through the period just what logic she should use in figuring out all the Spanish everyone was using. At the end of the hour, roll was taken and she learned, much to her relief, that it was a Spanish class, after all.

The Phi Game have started the year out right by immediately having one of their men, Bill Neff, put out his pin, so the whole chapter went over to the Gamma Pi house to take in the fun. They came bounding out of their house, only to be met by a bevy of Kappas, Pi Phis, and Thetas who were sitting on the Phi Delt lawn listening to their yell-in. Not to be daunted by all this femininity, they cramed cigars into their mouths and dashed over to the Gamma Phi house, where they spent a perfect half hour with Bill's pick of the hilt, Jo Hendrickson.

Sigma Chi pledge Don Stockey, is certainly to be complimented on his foresight while with Kappa pledge Betty Berry, last Sunday night. It
seems that Betty leaned across her date to throw a cigarette out the car window and the wind blew it back down Don't shirt front. Instead of losing his head (and his shirt), Don calmly hung onto the wheel with one hand and with the other, commenced to beat out the smouldering fag. Upon arrival he fished out the dead cigarette and all went on as usual.

FOR PREXY'S FRESHMAN RECEPTION IN THE GAY 1890'S
To be absolutely proper, you donned your claw-hammer suit (if you owned one) and the stiffest shirt-front and collar obtainable. Prexy, similarly armored, grasped your perspiring palm. Matriculation was complete. You were a college stud at last.
America, too, was stepping out in the 1890's. Her cities were growing, populations were spreading. Railway Express, then as now, provided her with a nation-wide shipping service, including the bagage and laundry needs of innumerable college students. Today, during the emergency, the country's shipping needs are heavily strained. So, please do this with your baggage and home-going bundles: Pack and wrap securely, address clearly, and get them started early.
