Voluntary Drill For ROTC To Lessen Winter Class
A new system of voluntary infantry drills for the R.O.T.C. has been devised to remedy the over-crowded condition which comes during cold weather when the drills are held indoors, Col. Karl F. Baldwin announced this morning.
The voluntary drills will begin Monday and will be held every Monday between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m., probably until Nov. 25.
Cadets who attend voluntary drill regularly will be excused from Wednesday drills during December and January. Cadets do not attend will be re $ ^{*} $
Cadets who attend voluntary from Wednesday drills during I who do not attend will be required to attend drills in December and January. This is being done because it would be impossible with the large enrollment to drill all men inside during bad
weather.
The voluntary drill on Monday is in addition to the regular Wednesday drill which all men are required to attend.
Ku Ku's Wield Paddles On 37 Initiates Tonight
Active members of the Ku Ku's will dust off the paddleboards tonight as they prepare to take in 37 new members in their annual initiation ceremony, starting at 10 o'clock in front of Fraser hall.
Tommy Arbuckle, president of the men's pep organization, is instructing his fledglings in the art of being well-padded and doing a duck waddle blindfolded, but the services are to be more formal this year, he says. There is to be a bonfire to warm the initiates after they do their $ ^{4} $
wading stint through the middle of Potter's lake.
Starts At Fraser
The usual form of the ceremony starts the men out with a short preliminary service on the east side of Fraser. Then they single-file around the sorority circuit to sing songs and get a shower bath from the water tossed from windows by the giggling gals. The last performance is the trip through Potter's.
There will probably be a few changes in the regular sequence of events, perhaps a few more items will be added for the entertainment of pledges and guests who usually form along the sidelines to cheer the boys' on as they travel a rather vermiculate path.
Organized In 1919
When it was first organized in 1919, this club saw the light of day under the name of Ku Ku Klan; their uniforms consisted of hooded robes. But it seems there was a national organization of a similar name which was not in good repute at the time, so Gov. Henry J. Allen asked the boys kindly to do something about themselves. They did. The club became the Ku Ku's and the hood and robe were dropped for a sweater.
Some of the downtown quarterbacks decided in 1922 to form a national pep fraternity. It might be added that one of the main reasons was to foster better spirit between Missouri and Kansas. In those days something was needed to keep the peace between the two schools. In any event, C. C. Carl, Bob Rowland, and "Bugs" Bredburg organized Pi Epsilon Pi with Kansas as the mother chapter, and satellites in Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas State. Other chapters have since been added, schools of the Mid-west for the most part.
The purpose of the club is solely for the promotion of enthusiasm among the student body during the athletic season. A resolution at Tuesday night's meeting will broaden their duties, however. The Ku Ku's are to cooperate with K-men this year in persuading freshmen, by
one means or another, that the dinky cap is to be worn at all times.
Pi Epsilon Pi has had a colorful, if brief, history on the Hill. It's activities have ranged from running the concession at the stadium in its earlier years (the profits went to the Athletic department to buy citrus fruits for the football table), to gridiron marching and putting on a variety of stunts at football and basketball games.
Plan Big Year
Big doings for the coming year are planned by Arbuckle and his men. There is the football game Saturday, the annual nightshirt parade will soon traipse downtown, and hobo day is not far in the offing. The club even pulled the coup de maitre by teaming with their sister organization, the Jay Janes, for a (sans closing hours) serenade around the campus Thursday night.
