After Big Dandelion Day-- Closing Hours Are 10:30
Probably you're too tired to care much, anyway, but there will be no midweek tonight. Last night's two-hour "Scotch Varsity" and today's street dancing in front of the Union building and Fowler shops just about cover the dancing subject. Closing hours tonight will be 10:30.
The "Scotch Varsity" (10 cents — drag or stag) from 8:30 to 10:30 last night was well attended. Music the first hour was furnished by Clayton Harbur and his band, and the second hour by the all-girl band led by Corbin's Maestro Marjorie Henry. Prospects of today's holiday left the student in a festive mood, shagging with right good will.
In spite of dire predictions and warnings that in case of showers, classes would take up at 8:30 as usual, it didn't rain today. Moreover the weather was cool enough to make digging as enjoyable as digging can be and cloudy enough to save many a freckle worry.
The campus tonight looks like new-plowed land.

Not exactly the best costume for picking dandelions. But on many another spring day such as this one, a trim dark suit with the frilliest of feminine blouses is just the thing to send admiring glances after you down the street.

Child Joins Dandelion Diggers
Authorized Parties
In front of Dyche museum she assisted the teams of Viola Knoche and Ernest Vienes in their weed eradication drive. Armed with a knife to dig dandelions and mallet to "kill wums", she was a big help until she remembered to wonder where her mother might be. Then a team member piloted the tearful little girl to a happier spot.
Small but mighty, and hot on the yellow heels of dandelions, was little Sharon Frazier, daughter of Poco Frazier, instructor in architecture and design.

'Scotch Varsity Popular With Hill Shaggers
It a more festive mood than the usual mid-week crowd, 500 Hill students shagged, slid, or just plain bounced for two hours at the night-before-Dandelion - Day "Sco tch Varsity" in the Memorial Union building last night.
They could well afford to be gay. For the bargain price of 10 cents, drag or stag, they were entitled to two hours of dancing to the music of two Hill bands in the newly decorated ballroom of the Union building. Closing hours were not until 12:30, and all lesson worries were postponed until Thursday.
They liked the new pink-and-green pastel decoration of the ballroom as a background for all the old soft-lights-and-soft-music stuff. They liked the music of Clayton Harbur and his band who played from 8:30 to 9:30. The men were especially enthusiastic over Marjorie Henry's all-girl band who took over at 9:30.
For fear of party-crashers, dance managers refused to allow anybody to leave the ballroom while the bands were changing places on the platform, lest they be accompanied on their return by any number of jovial dancers bent on saving a dime.
At 10:30 the party broke up and dancers flooded out to the nearest coke-dispenser to make the best of two hours freedom before women's closing hours.

New Sorority Organized By Kansas Alumnae
Delta Gamma decided to enter the University of Kansas when the newly adopted policy of limiting sorority membership to the capacity of the houses made an increased number of girls available for pledging. The project was under the supervision of a committee of Kansas alumnae including Mrs. J. O. Davidson and Mrs. R. H. Garvey of Wichita, Mrs. Albert Drake of Kansas City, and Miss Virginia Brand of Lawrence.
Beta Kappa Chapter of Delta Gamma, national collegiate sorority, which will be installed here Saturday, was started early in the current year when Miss Ruth Garvey of Wichita, an alumna of the University of Illinois, was sent to the campus to select and organize the group.
One of the five oldest national
sororities, Delta Gamma was founded in Oxford, Miss., in 1874, and now has 180 active and alumnae groups in this country and Canada. Among her prominent alumnae are Ruth Bryan Rohde, Mrs. Alfred Landon, Mrs. Arthur H. Vandenberg, Elsie Singmeister, Brenda Joyce and Martha Scott.
Ceremonies of the installation will be conducted by visiting members of the National Council. Initiation will be held Saturday afternoon at the home of Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott. A formal installation banquet will follow in the Kansas Room of the Memorial Union building.
Sunday afternoon, the National Council will formally present the chapter to the University at a tea in the home of Dean and Mrs. J. J. Jakosky from 2 to 6 p.m.
