Girl Band To Add Dash To Hill Jive
Wine, women, and music is said to be the formula of man's delight. And but for the first ingredient the "K.U. Coeds," a new all-girl band on the Hill, intend to whip up a great deal of this prescription for the manly taste.
Although this is the forecast, it will be another month before the University will actually catch a glimpse of the new music-makers. The band is composed of 14 girls and is headed by Marjorie Henry, fine arts sophomore.
Book Seven Dances
After weeks of dreaming and planning, the idea emerged into substance two weeks before the spring semester. Six dances have already been booked in Kansas City and one at Kansas State. The girls wish to make their debut here, on the campus, but as yet do not know if they will be able to work it in before March 8, scheduled as their opening engagement in the city.
For formal work the girls will dress in black and the leader in white, while on other occasions they will wear white shirt blouses and dark skirts. The band already has new plain blue fronts, with the band name, K. U. Coeds, printed across them in red. It has solid sax and brass sections and the three vocalists with the organization are Patty Ledyard, fine arts junior, Marybelle Long, and Harriet Blythe, both fine arts sophomores.
Feature Special Orchestrations
The band will feature special orchestrations worked out by Betty Buchanan, fine arts junior, the pianist, and will be sung by the entire group.
Up to now there were three things that the University has been noted for: basketball, its Rock Chalk yell, and the fellow who swallowed the gold fish. But after this spring, when Kansas is mentioned, it is likely that someone will identify it as the school that has the all-girl dance band.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
HELL WEEK'S HERE Greeks Take It On Chin Chain Gang Stuff
Conspicuous by their absence at most University social functions the last few days have been hollow eyed fraternity and sorority freshmen who are going through the time honored ritual of Hell Week.
The whole nasty business is primarily and theoretically intended to prove that you, you poor sucker of a freshman, are a good sport and furthermore are willing to lay down your life for good old Tri Lambda or Rho Fool Rho.
After a day or so, however, your testing period in which you must prove your Spartan qualities, is apt to degenerate into an endurance test between the freshmen and the actives. It's all in who can hold
Next year it will be your turn to lay it on, so remember all the little subtleties of the torture so you can do the thing up brown next year.
Favorite form of pledge persecution seems to be nocturnal exercises and calisthenics which leave the victims with charley-horses of a phenomenal character. At the dinner table the freshman may eat with an eyebrow tweezer or if he is lucky, merely without benefit of the hands.
Ask him if he is hungry and he says, "No thank you, my dietetic integral admonishes me to state that I have quite reached the ultimate state of deglutition and any further nourishment on my part would be wholly inconsistent with my gastronomical satiety."
He has to provide cigarettes, gum, and candy for his masters, and any insubordination on his part is promptly rewarded with measures only slightly short of death.
The boys, the poor souls, have it somewhat harder and their period of unmitigated agony is usually a little longer than that of their sisters, but it all adds up to the same result.
Just think, next week you'll be wearing that nice new shiny pin and you'll know the secret clutch of Tri Lambda or Rho Foo Rho. So chin up, little man, what next?
