Sig Alph's-Kappa's Enjoy Picnic-Walkout in Country
By BETTY WEST, c'42
After stealing all the Sig Alph silverware except the salad forks and meeting the Kappa freshmen, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge class enjoyed, last night, an evening of respite from pledge training at the farm of John Gage, four miles east of Eudora.
They returned to the house about 8 a.m., where they found the actives waiting patiently for them in the living room, according to Tommy Thompson, c'42, a disinterested bystander.
At 10:30 the Sig Alphs helped the Kappas into their house through a convenient side window and took a truck to Kansas City.

Life at State U Makes Frosh Sit Up and Blink
Pity the poor freshman who moans, "How can I do everything required of me, get to be a B.M.O.C., and still make my grades?"
The bewildered member of the class of 1944 gets up at the crack of dawn to study his algebra lesson, bolts his breakfast and gets his 8:30 class just in time to hear his professor assign a 1000-word theme for Tuesday.
Between classes he chats gaily with three little dollis, and feels a little better toward life. But not for long! In his next class he runs smack into his first shotgun.
After lunch he trudges across the Hill to keep an appointment with the business office, which always seems to be keckling him about something. He tries out for glee club, and then hurries to the library.
He waits in line to get a book, only to find that it is on reserve. Not knowing what "reserve" is, he sits down and chews a package of gum, to the amazement of the other people in the library.
Comes 4:20 o'clock and he hurries to the intramural field to take port in some sport he signed up
for in a weak moment.
Sore, tired, and dirty, our little one returns home, showers, eats, and hauls himself and his blind date to the midweek dance.
His date dwarves so long over her coke that by the time he finally gets home, he decides he might as well go to bed, and forget it all.
As a result of recent Quack club tryouts in Robinson gymnasium two women will be initiated into the club as full-fledged members, eight more will be taken into the organization as pledges, and 11 women have been asked to come back for another tryout, Margaret Learned, e'42, president of Quack club, announced today.
Those women who have been pledged to the club are: Myra Hurd, c'43; Lucille Gillie, c'43; Ernestine Kirk; Teresa Mae Comley, c'43; Eva Magill, c'43; Gladys Bitter, ed'42; Mary Robelle Scott, c'41, and Mary Ann Hannam.
The same sort of routine is carried out by the female freshman of the species. Life to her is one mad round of staring at the library walls, W.Y.C.W. meetings, W.S.G.A. meetings, appointments, dates, and tryouts.
Additional tryouts will be held in Robinson gymnasium Wednesday at 8 p.m. for the following women: Frances Kern; Lois Howell, c'43; Althea Shuss; Nada Clifton; Mary Taylor; Helen Wilkens, c'44; Billie Doris Jarboe, c'uncl; Jane Veatch, fa'43; Virginia Griswold; Betty Lawrence, and Harriet Nettels.
Any woman who wishes to try out for Quack club should be present at the additional tryout on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Final tryouts will be held nekt Saturday.
Yet never a day goes by that some upperclassman doesn't put his graying head in his hands and wish that he or she were a freshman again.
