Chancellor Jumps Gun On Dandelions
Many Oddities Are Observed Among Faculty and Students
Chancellor Deane W. Malott jumped the gun. He dug some dandelions before the 9 o'clock whistle blew, and then to make matters worse he dug some more-on a team with which he had not been registered. His posie-pulling, however, was in his own front yard, and Officer of the Daisies Chuck Wright says that perhaps the Chancellor may be excused.
Garth Thomas, assistant instructor of psychology, thinks his team should win since he found a fourleaf clover. Another reason for the team's success, perhaps, would be the near-by portable radio of Oscar Hunter, junior engineer, who served on the team of John Laidig, senior engineer.
Wheeler Leses His Team
J. J. Wheeler, associate professor of mathematics lost his team. He knew that his team captain was Marcia Molby, college junior, and that his plot was somewhere east of Fraser hall. It was not reported whether or not he found his team.
More Women Than Men
The Phi Chi's were either subversive or civic-minded. They got up at 7 o'clock this morning and practiced the art of dandelion digging on their front lawn. There are no suspicions that they included their home kill at the Hill weighing-in.
The. only complaint of Betty Kimble, college senior, was "dern it, Moritzy didn't get any men on the team." Betty is on the team of Ruth Moritz, college sophomore, who drew a blank when there proved to be more women's teams than men's.
Teams functioning at the height of efficiency were those of Elden Beebe, business junior, and Marcia Molby, college junior; and Hugh Metzler, sophomore engineer, and Edna Greenwell, college junior. Beebes' team surrounded a plot northeast of Fraser, and all but one member attacked the dandelions. The last member was assigned to bagging them up in burlap sacks.
Metzler's team used similar strategy on a plot near Dyche museum. Every team member was at the plot well before 9 o'clock, took his position, and began work when the whistle blew. The team cleaned up its plot in 45 minutes, then moved to another. Unofficial estimates place their catch at more than a ton.
Oren Bingham, University photographer, roaned the campus all morning "shooting" dandelion diggers while they worked.

R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, serving on the team of Jessie McClune, college junior, said "Well, we're doing pretty good. If we win this contest I'll, actually break my two-year record and go to the show."
Reporters Don't Dig
One girl, unidentified, pretty well expressed the attitude of the student body today when she confronted a Kansan reporter with the query, "Why aren't you digging?"
Justine Peterson, college freshman, claims the record on blisters. She got four in the first 30 minutes.
The team of Donn Mosser, college junior, after two hours of diligent labor, converted itself into a gestapo service. It reported such subversive activity as loading dandelion sacks with Mt. Oread limestone and coke bottles.
Margaret Learned, college junior,
gave a typical 11 o'clock statement,
"Gosh, my team's hands are sore!"
Annette Steinle, college freshman,
flourishing a dandelion digger which
looked suspiciously like Watkins
hall silverware, had only to say "It's
too dorn cold."
After the campaign was finished, the spot which contained the most live dandelions was the immediate area around Chuck Wright's speaking platform.
Presson Shane, senior engineer, appointed himself plot warden for his team, patrolling the borders to prevent sabotage.
