Alpha Chi, Delta Upsilon Parties on Tonight's List
Alpha Chi's and the D.U.'s have the right idea tonight when they add the last chapters to Hill social life for the semester.
A preview of spring fashions is incorporated in the swagger coat and suit. The trend is pure American this year.
The girls of the Alpha Chi house are taking over the ballroom of the Union building, as well as the music of Clayton Harbur for three hours from 9 to 12 tonight, and the D.U.'s are dancing to the music of Clyde Bysom in the chapter house.
Stags will be kept on the run tomorrow night with the Kappa winter formal in the Union ballroom, and Corbin hall lassies flinging the light fantastic in said hall.

Figures Show Leap Year Got Results
By ANN NETTLES
Kansan Society Editor
By ANN NETTLES
Evidence that Leap Year was not just that in name only appeared when this writer sat down to determine how many engagements and marriages there were on the Hill this last year in comparison with the number in $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $ the year before.
Statistics from the University Daily Kansan files gave the following figures:
From Jan. 1 of last year to Jan. 1 of this year there were 79 marriages, 79 engagements.
Thirty-four of the marriages were solemnized this last summer. That should have some significance, in case anyone wants to find i.t.
In the year before there were only two-thirds of the marriages, though the engagements ran a close second to this year's.
Maybe the men, bless them, were either a little too gullible, maybe the Kansas weather unlivered them, or maybe the gals were a little more determined, but they got thrown for a loss. It's not easy to doubt that a woman knows a good bet when she sees it, in view of the figures.
The ladies were lucky in having 1940 free from drafts, a year's training in army camps, and the navy. Had these fallen last year, it would have been a lean Leap Year.
Among Hill engagements, one of the more prominent was that of Helen Johnson and Fred Littooy. And certainly the one that caused the most confusion was the recently announced engagement of Barbara Edmonds of Watkins Hall.
Christmas vacation found nine marriages and two engagements announced, and that, too, could be interpreted several ways.
Probably the favorite interpretation would be that the women saw time a-flyin', and action seemed to be the roder of the day. But that may just be a nasty rumor.
At any rate, Leap Year asserted itself as something for all single men, eligible or no, to cope with. And they can start preparing right now for 1944.
