Outdoor Activities Rival Dance For Weekend Play
Again this week the popularity of hayrack ride and the picnic at State Lake is rivaling the appeal of the formal dance on the social calendar.
The Chi Omegas and the Thetas will dance this Friday to the music of Clayton Harbur and Clyde Bysom respectively. Campus House will also have their spring formal at the Colonial Tea Room and Ricker Hall at their house.
Outdoor activities this Friday include a picnic by the Rock Chalk and Jayhawk Co-ops at Brown's Grove, and hayrack rides by Wesley Foundation and the Lutheran Student Association.
Battenfeld, Templin, and Carruth halls are having a joint spring formal Saturday night in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Van Altms and his band will supply the music. Harbur will play for the Phi Gamma Delta dance at their house, and Bysom for the Sigma Chi's spring party at their chapter house.
Triangle members will journey to State Lake for a picnic Saturday afternoon, and the Gamma Phi's will follow later in the evening.
Weekend activities will terminate Sunday with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon violet hunt in the evening, and the Kappa Eta Kappa picnic in the afternoon, both at State Lake.

Honor Senior Women At W.A.A.Banquet
Chosen W.A.A.'s outstanding senior sports woman, Virginia Bell was presented with a trophy at the association's banquet last night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Each year the Women's Athletic association gives this award to the senior girl who has received 2,000 points in sports activity and has been voted eligible by a special W. A. A. committee.
Poetry Contest
Of the 65 women present at the banquet, 25 were initiated. Gladys Bitter, the retiring president, had
Memorial To K. U. Post
William Stafford, graduate student, richer by $60 this week, is the fourteenth student on the Hill to receive first place rating in a Carruth Poetry Contest.
The Carruth prize was founded in 1926 in memory of William Henry Carruth, for 33 years professor of German at K.U., and author of "Each In His Own Tongue," and other poems. After leaving the University of Kansas in 1913, Carruth became head of the English department at Leland Stanford University in California.
Founders of the contest were a group of alumnae, including Mrs. Florence Finch Kelly, Miss Kate Stephens, professor of Greek and Latin; Miss Edith Snow, daughter of the former Chancellor Francis Snow; and Mr. John Shea. The fund was collected from various sources, chiefly from alumni.
The first award was won in 1927 by Ralph Wallace, son of Leslie Wallace, noted Kansas editor. A prize has been given every year since.
Record attendance for 1940-41 came at the first of the school year,
K. U. emblems were awarded to Betty Allen, Mildred Wells, Mary Beth Dodge, Shirley Irwin, Mary Lee Chapple, Alta Bingham, Betty Lou Harmon, Jean Hinshaw, Frances Kerns, and Phyllis Struble.
charge of the initiation and the installation of the new officers.
That ever-popular, best-attended hour of the school week, averaged 300 to 350 students this year, according to Carter Butler, graduate student and manager of the Student Union Activities Board.
Miss Ruth Hoover, instructor of physical education, presented the awards. Women who received blazers are Gladys Bitter, education junior, Evelyn Herriman, education junior, and Evelyn Kinney, education senior.
When there is something final in the air, midweeks dwindle from an absolute necessity to a mere temptation. For this reason, last Wednesday was the last. No more temptation.
Judges do not know who is the author of any manuscript until it has been rated. Manuscripts are submitted unsigned, and each judge assigns a rating to it. The three ratings are added and the manuscript with the lowest total rating wins the prize of $60. Other prizes are $40 and $20. Because there was a tie among three applicants for third place, the $20 this year will have to be divided three ways.
No Excuse Now; Temptation Removed As Finals Loom
In 14th Year
The University judge has always been Professor W. S. Johnson of the English department. This year the other two judges were Theodore O'Leary, a special writer for the Kansas City Star and the son of former Prof. R. L. O'Leary of the English department, and Miss Elizabeth Drew, English author in America for the duration of the war. She is the author of several books, "Discovering Poetry," and "Directions in Modern Poetry."
One More Day...
Judges consist of one member of the English department, one alumnus, and some well known man or woman in the literary world.

when approximately 500 students attended the midweek jive several times. In contrast to this boom period was last week's varsity attended by about 250 persons.
Both Clayton Harbur and Clyde Bysom enjoyed a successful season during their engagement at the Union ballroom. (They are celebrating their success next Tuesday.)
The number of stags reached the 200 limit only twice during the fall and spring semesters. Usually about 150 men acquired enough energy or nerve (or nervous energy) to get to the ballroom every Wednesday.
Midweeks have been every Wednesday for at least six or seven years, which is as far back as anyone can remember. The outlook for the hour dance of the future looks promising.
