Orchids to Managing Editor In Honor of Engagement
Heidi Viets, managing editor of the Daily Kansan, is ready to give advice on how to be managing editor of a paper and get a man at the same time.
It's making history, when a woman takes over the controlling position of a newspaper and sits in the managing editor's slot at the news desk. But when she can find time to profess her ability in the art of "man getting" at the same time—that is a notable accomplishment. ___
Last night no one could understand how the news copy was all downstairs before the deadline. Something in the way of making history itself. But at 4:30 the Kansas was all set up for the day and the managing editor was watching out the window for Don Keplinger.
And before the first paper rolled off the press for the day Viets and Keplinger were strolling down Lover's Lane, to promise and bind in secret and the customary ceremonial manner of the day, their engagement.
The usual orchids, candy, and cigars were presented in celebration of their formal announcement at the Chi Omega and the Delta Tau Delta houses last night. But the Kansan staff presents orchards of orchids to its managing editor, who deserves the noble prize of the journalism department (if it had one) and congratulations to Keplinger.

Correction--ing question of "home talent,' or that is "home beauty."
An unintentional error was made in the Kansan article yesterday of the marriage of the former Barbara Pendleton and Rev. Perry M. Gillfillan. The marriage was performed November 23, 1940. Instead of March 14, 1942, as reported in the Kansan yesterday.
McVey-Newcomer Pinned Last Night
"One girl out of every 100 in the Midwest.
Every Woman
Miss McVey received a white orchid and Mrs. Dean Alt, Pi Phi housemother, was presented with a corsage of gardenias. Gardenia corsages were also sent to Miss McVey's roommate, Patti Duncan and Jane Newcomer, sister of Newcomer, who put the Phil Deit pin on Miss McVey.
Miss McVey is a sophomore in the college and is a member of Jay Janes, Tau Sigma, and the Women's Athletic Association. Newcomer is a senior in the College. Both are from Kansas City, Mo.
Mid West Women Low
"Four girls out of every 100 in San
But he raks the average of really pretty girls suitable for show business about as follows:
A Queen
Someone has suggested that the University of Kansas should invite Billy Rose, the play producer, here to Mt. Oread. Not to see any of the local dramatic talents, but to see the women.
"Maybe it's the climate that makes the kids there so pretty." Rose said.
"I've had calls for girls in all parts of the country—New York, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Texas—"
The fact is that Billy Rose doesn't think much of the women in the Middle West. Recently at Miami Beach, Fla., surveying a bevy of alleged Florida beauties in the hope of finding a few new faces (and figures for his next theatrical ventures, the producer raised the sectional feud. $ \circ $
Rose says that Texas has the most beautiful women in the land.
Rose sat on the beach of an elaborate hotel pool and watched Florida lassies dressed in the briefest of swimming suits, parade about, trying to catch the eye of the so-called connoisseur of the feminine "chassis." But it seems they had little to interest him. What is worse, Rose thinks the Florida pulchritude is better than in the Middle West (which necessarily but provokingly includes Kansas).
Francisco.
"Two girls out of every 100 in New York.
"Two girls out of every 100 in Miami.
"Seven girls out of every 100 in Texas.
"When I look at a girl I notice her eyes, teeth, figure, smile and that animation which we call personality."
Of course, it is true that Rose has never surveyed the "beauties" of the University of Kansas. "Kansas, where every woman is a queen." Perhaps we have congregated here the best of Kansas or even the best of the Mid West. But it seems that no one really wants Billy Rose to come here to give his authoritative opinion on the matter.
