SmokerDraws 200 Freshmen To Pep Club
★ Gwinnie Henry and Forrest C. Allen Welcome the Members; Bob Galloway Asks Independent Aid
Two hundred freshmen promised last night to form a solid bloc and make themselves heard Saturday afternoon at the Iowa State-Kansas University football game. Plans for the new freshmen pep club were made at the Ku Ku-sponsored smoker held in the Men's lounge in the Memorial Union building.
"It was more than I hoped for, but I would still like to have as many as possible to join—especially the independent freshmen," said Bob Galloway, b'40, president of the Ku Kui's last night after the meeting.
Another meeting will be held
Thursday at 8:30 p.m. to make plans
for Saturday's activities and to sign
up for fresh students who wish
to join.
Coach Gwin Henry, who gave the first tip talk of the evening, said, "Loyalty to yourself and to your friends is one of the finest things we have in this life. You members of the freshman pep club can practice this loyalty in backing the athletic department and the University of Kansas. It is something of which to be proud."
Dr. F. C. Allen, basketball coach welcomed the new members of the pep club. He said: "I know it is easy to cheer a winning team, but that is not the whole idea. The fact that there are such things as loyalty, determination, and a will to win, which will be invaluable throughout your life is the important thing. You must have fun and learn with your club and the friendships you make will continue as long as you live."
After the program cider and doughnuts were served.
Wayne Nees b'40, president of the K club, told of the old methods of the freshmen being made to follow their traditiqs by force. Said he: "That method is dead and we want the freshmen of today to accept their traditions with pride instead of being forced into anything."

W.S.G.A. Delays Action on Passes Now Up to M.S.C.
- Pachamac Party Head Says Issue Not Political; Believes Bill Will Pass Men's Group
Delaying action on the bill to abolish dance passes, the W.S.G.A. yesterday canceled its meeting scheduled for last night. "There was not enough business to warrant a meeting," she said in explaining the delay.
W. S.G.A. inaction leaves the campaign against excessive dance passio no nearer success than it was last week when anti-pass bills were introduced into both councils. Next move is, therefore, left to the M.C.S. which meets next Monday night to vote on the bill introduced last week by Brewster Powers, e40, chairman of the dance pass committee.
John Oakson, c'40, nominal head of Pachacamac, said he believed the bill would pass. "It is not a political issue," said Oakson, "because before the last election both parties agreed to better the pass situation."

The police fortune to reach the doughnuts and cider, feeling like the hole in the former and clothed only iir shorts and haggard looks.
