Leap Year Makes Men Watch Dress
By Bill Koester, c'41
Confuscious say, "this leap year, so young indies" fancy turn to thoughts of love", and rightfully so, for spring is just around the corner. And by way of advocating and predicing the best bib-and-tucker to be worn this spring we offer a few hints to the male of the species.
Greats, light browns, and tans will predominate on American college campuses in the ensuing weeks, and especially in the Middle West where styles typical of every section of the country are worn. Suits of gabardine, summer covert, worsted materials, flannels and Palm Beaches should be good inducements to romantic reciprocation from the gals—that is, if you stick to a snappy pattern or style. Single-breasted coats with plain drape backs, slush and ticket pockets, and fish-mouth lapels are doped to lead to the finish line, and incidentally, they're making them extra long and slim around the hips this season. Combinations will be mostly in brown and green, brown and light tan, aqua and very light green, and grey and blue-green.
Hats have already begun to make their spring debuts, with the introduction (or revival, rather) of the college favorite, the porkpie. Fash-

D.U.'s Celebrate First 20 Years
Delta Upsilon celebrated its twentieth annivarsary with an annual Founders' Day banquet at the chapter house Friday night. The Kansas chapter was founded in 1920 when the organization formerly known as the Kanza Club received a charter incorporating it into the national fraternity. The following attended, among whom were several charter members:
From Kansas City, Mo: Hubert Klemp, Jim Mickey, Jim Mickey, Jr., Charles T. Thompson, Harold F. Warner, Marvin Geat, Kingsley Dawson, Lindley DeAiley, O. K. Fearing, Everett Meyer, Dr. C. B. Moody, Cornelius Ashley, Dr. Sherwin E. Mella, Joe Radoffinsky, Karl Koerper, Flavel Robertson, Roy K. Dietrich, Virgil Ream, Marshall Havenhill, Wilfred Wann, Bud Alterbury, Al Drake, Art Keene, Leslie Welch, and Ray White.

Others included Lloyd Houston, Lawrence; Dr. Clyde Trees, Topeka; Bob Forney, Topeka; C. A. Burnett Pittsburg; Q. Q. Stevenson, Lawrence; Clarence P. Oakes, Independence; Dan Meyers, Topeka; and Rolle Smith, Emporia.
This frock of pastel pink sheer wool with its new shoulder effects and full skirt is the ideal "between seasons" dress to be worn under a fur coat.
Kappa Kappa Gamma Founded Here in 1893
Omega chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, established in 1893, was the third national women's fraternity on this campus. Eight women were initiated as charter members. The chapter now includes fifty active members.
The first Kappa meetings were held in a rented hall in an office building on a side street off Massachusetts. In 1901 the chapter moved into a new rented home. In 1912 they moved again, into the first house they built. It is now occupied by Alpha Kappa Psi. The last move was in 1927 when the Kappas moved to the house at Gower place.
Editor's Note: Each Sunday, starting today, the Daily Kansan will present a brief sketch of one of the Hill's sororities. Next Sunday, the campus history of Alpha Delta Pi will be reviewed.
By Helen Beth Faubion, c'43
The Kappa colors are light blue and dark blue. The flower which they have adopted is the Fleur-de-Lis. The Kappa pin is a gold key with 15 pearls, 12 at the head and three at the other end. The key of Kappa Kappa Gamma has ever stood for high ideals among women and its wearsers have always been respected and admired by all who knew them.
During the World War the Kappas were active in working as nurses and volunteer workers.
All students enrolled in flight training are urged to leave their new semester's schedules at Prof. Earl D. Hay's office before Friday evening. These schedules are necessary in order to make out new flight plans for the new semester.

The Pig Dinner
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity held its forty-first annual Pig Dinner last night at the chapter house. The guests were received in the Jinx Room where they danced until the six course dinner was served in the dining room. Clyde Smith furnished the music between courses and during the evening.
Lee Pitts, traditional head waiter at all Pig Dinners, carved the head from the pig and passed it around on a platter, to be kissed by every person present. The tail of the pig was presented to Norma Tibbets, the youngest girl present. As the guests came into the Jinx room, Fiji, the diminutive colored mascot in native dress, gave them programs. The favors were gold link necklaces with the fraternity crest.
The first floor was decorated with Southern smilax, while the walls of the Jinx room were covered with purple and white, the fraternity colors. The band played from a huge white shell, dotted with purple stars.
The chaperons were Mrs. C. A.
Thomas, Professor and Mrs. Allen
Crafton, Mrs. W. Y. Morgan,
and Mrs. Nell M. Hopkins.
