MalottHome is Scene Of U.W.C. Roundup
A "fall roundup" was the theme of the first get-together of the University Women's Club yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Deane W. Malott, president of the club. The unique and picturesque setting was first seen as guests passed through the path (steps on porch) lined with cactus and flower plants and continued throughout the roundup terminating with a
Walking along the path to the ranch, one could see horses and Indians, sculpturing of Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor of architecture and design. One Indian "Cherokee," seemed to be surveying the Wakorusa Valley.
The guests were greeted at the door by costumed ranchers, Mrs. Karl Kuersteiner, Mrs. Wayne Replogle, Mrs. Lowell Laudon, Mrs. Bernard Smith, Miss Maude Elliott, Miss Mabel Elliott, Mrs. Richard Koopman, and Mrs. Jan Romary, acting assistant hostesses.
Decorations Suit Occasion
musical presentation of a typical rodeo by the University cowboy band directed by Russell L. Wiley.
Crossing the threshold guests saw the figure of two horses sculptured from Kansas clay reflected from a large mirror. A glance through the door on the left showed a fireplace accented by a huge bowl of grapefruit, white grapes, oranges, and other fruit giving the atmosphere of a secluded corner so restful on stormy nights. In the hall the guests are also greeted by the figure of "Natoma."
Mrs. C. M. Baker, assisted by Miss May Gardner, Mrs. C. M. Young, Mrs. E. F. Engel, and Mrs. John Ashton, served refreshments of puch, and chocolate chip cookies. They were aided by Posy and Beatrice Buehler, Joanne Hessler, and Claudia Anderson in their colorful blouses and skirts.
Rodeo Is Depicted
The guests were 'hered' through the house to the sun porch where they were spectators at the rodeo.
Depicting an actual rodeo, Mr. Wiley presented trick riders, bronco bashing, and fancy riding. For the band concert, "Springtime in the Rockies," "Oh! You Beautiful Doll," and "Jingle, Jangle, Jingle" were presented.
"Jingle, Jangle, Jingle," was sung by Bob Jenkins, Bob Forman and Harry Johnson, members of the band.
Fomann Ville, director of the rodeo thought a little explanation was needed for the half costumed band. "No cowboy can wear a uniform unless he owns a cow," he said, "and some don't own cows and some admit they can't keep a cow in the pen." If a member owns two cows he can put one pants-leg inside his boot, and if he owns three cows he

can put both pants-legs in and become a full-fledged cowboy. Band Sings Cowboy Songs
While roping calves, the band sang "Home on the Range" with Cowboy Clayton Krehbiel. soloist. Forman Wiley described the trick and fancy roping, Roman Riders and the clowns and bulls. He introduced "Smoky" the band's favorite horse.
The rodeo closed with "Till We Meet Again." It was worked out so that listeners could easily imagine themselves in the arena watching the cowboys and bullfighters. A red flower in the background waving over the heads of members of the band reminded one of, "Ferdinand the Bull." Mr. Wiley and his band have presented the musical depiction in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and other states.
Mrs. Norman Plummer was in charge of all arrangements, for this first informal greeting of the University and its new members.
