No School Tomorrow, So-- Late Closing Hours Tonight
University closing hour tonight $ ^{4} $
University closing hour tonight will be 12:30 a.m. Tomorrow will bring one of those extremely rare phenomena in the life of a university student-a mid-week vacation.
Long healed and long put off because of rain, cold weather, and no dandelions, the nationally advertised Dandelion Day comes to the campus tomorrow.
Those of us who are patriotic and ambitious will join our team captains in digging dandelions all tomorrow morning, playing all of the afternoon, and dancing at night. Others will sleep in the morning to be fresh for the rest of the day's activities. Some few hardy souls will study all day.
Closing hours tomorrow will be at 10:30 as usual.

Delta Gamma To Be Tenth Hill Sorority
Once again the University is to have 10 national social sororities on the hill to keep the social whirlpool moving. Delta Gamma, which established a colony at the University this year, will install their local chapter, Beta Kappa, April 24 and become the tenth sorority on the campus.
In 1937-38 the school boasted 11 such social groups, although the Delta Zeta organization was inactive during that year. In 1938-39 both Delta Zeta and Alpha Gamma Delta dropped their chapters and since then there have been only nine sororites on the hill.
The first national sorority, L. C. Sorosis, which is now Pi Beta Phi was founded at Monmouth College in 1867. In 1870, at the University of DePauw, Kappa Alpha Theta was organized, and in that same year, Kappa Kappa Gamma was established at Monmouth College. Delta Gamma at Oxford, Miss., and Gamma Phi Beta at Syracuse, were established in 1874. New organizations followed until now there are 23 membership Panhellenic soroities.
Pi Beta Phi established the first sorority chapter at the University in 1873 and in 1881 Kappa Kappa Gamma began the second women's Greek organization at the school.
When Delta Gamma installs its fifty-fifth chapter at the University of Kansas next week, 17 colony members and four patronesses will be initiated into the school's newest sorority, and the Delta Gammas will have a strong start in the University's social whirlpool.
tiation ceremonies took place at the chapter house Sunday afternoon it 5:30.
The following faculty members were present: Dean D. M. Swarthout, Prof. L. E. Anderson, Prof. W. O. Miessner, Assistant Professor R. T. Gaston, Associate Professor R. L. Wiley, Prof. K. O. Kuestrainer, Assistant Professor G. C. Simpson, Professor Walderam Geltch, and Instructor R. M. Palmer.
The initiation was followed by a buffet supper and informal singing.
