Terrible rumors are aweing the hill concerning rush-week activities of both fraternities and sororites.
Since (I only heard) it would be best that no names be mentioned, but 'its said that one sorority became very large. Its name is split, and split, and split a rubus in the well-known box hat who sorority number two waited in vain. Finally a daughter of the second clan walked in on the kid-ats-play, and weeding plus one sorority came to visit her sorority is embarrassed, and maybe those will start happening . . .
Next comes a good story from the society page of a great newspaper. We members of the Rush-fair-and-square club in Chicago attended pleasured until Thursday, and Wednesday's social column brings us tions of a fair young dame who has recently left for the University of Kansas where she was an art student? Fardon but we call that snipping.
The first reports of rushing on the up-and-come from Kansas City where the Beta Teta Pi boys held a big party at the University of Arkansas for purposes of advising prospective fraternity men on moral-habits of K.U. men, and the woojogin boys showed no partiality; except that "Lord" Nichols and some other men were not paddled, and that other Greek-clubs have very brutal acts. (All boys under sixteen must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when coming to our house to play.)
NUMBER 3
This could go on forever, but we must save the best, because it's unprintable. The sororites were not supposed to give dates until Monday, and you know that some girls were given dates last summer. Wish we could do something about this rushiness of dating, but the organizations (the old menies) can one barely imagine one group of girls taking advantage of another.
Joe Pryor, youthful editor of the Sour Owl, has promised the world a new and different college magazine this year. Little Joe (as he is crapphooting friends call him) offered a book in which he submitted to the Owl this summer. Only one was received, and Joe said it was good, but the author forgot to draw the line. (After all, we'll be clean, upright, and slightly dimmed.)
The first varsity of the year is Monday night. The famous band headed by "Red" Blackburn will play, and "Red" has gained fame in the "Rockies" this summer. The ball-room has some new decoration, and the atmosphere is such that more Marlargen Ryan will try to dance more and less talking.

Jayhawker Heads Plan Improvement In 1935 Publication
Rotogravure Section to Be Included; Students Urged to Apply for Positions
Plans for the first issue of the 1935-36 Jayhawk are rapidly taking shape according to a statement yesterday by John Chandler, cst, editor-in-chief of the publication. A skeleton staff is admissible to attend the issue for the issue which will appear on the campus about Oct. 15. The Jayhawk will be published in five magazine issues this year following the plan adopted in September 1933. Features include football, R.U. traditions, rush week, and pre-school social activities.
Following the custom established at the time of the adoption of the magazine style of publication, each issue must be carefully organized pest binder. A binder comparable to the fastest annual covers has been ordered from one of the leading cover manufacturers in the country, and is available to the students for inspection at the time they subscribe for the magazine. Although the binder is somewhat elaborate than the ones used for subscribers, it is offered to subscribers at the same price.
Both Chandler and Robert Kenyon, b37, business manager, indicated that there would be openings on their staff for students interested in Jawahyer college. Many of old students to return to school there will be a number of vacancies on the editorial staff, and persons interested should apply at once in order to secure the first issue. There will also be a considerable demand for students interested in writing articles for the magazine. Both Chandler and Kenyon urged that applicants for staff positions apply online, and many may still be filled out at an early date.
The plans for this year's Jayhawker envision a more elaborate publication than any since the magazine style was introduced two years ago. Each of the five issues will carry an eight page rogature texture, marking the first year of publication. The Jayhawker in several years. It is planned to use more pictures than last year, and there will be more humorous and satirical articles.
The magazine plan of issuing the Jayhawk started was two years ago, and Kansas is the first university in the country to try the experiment of issuing its annual publication in magazines. The plan was forced by the inability of the style yearbook to make a financial success. Apparently the plan has proved popular with the students for subscriptions to the periodical publication have been far greater than to the last issues of the old style Jayhawk. The new style annual seems to be popular, several times, in various cities of the country having adopted the periodical plan for this year.

Cochrane Announces Many New Features at Union Building
If you want a ride home over the weekend or if you want to go to the City over vacation, you will have less trouble this year if you use the new K.U. Travel Bureau which has been installed in the Memorial Union building.
The Travel Bureau is one of the additions which has been made to the building during the summer months. Bill Cochran, manager, has announced that students who own cars and wish to drive in the summer, will be named, the type of car which they drive, the price which they want, and their destination and route. Students wishing transportation will leave their names, destinations, and the price they are willing to pay for the trip. The students will attend to all arrangements.
This group, in a meeting Thursday evening at Henley House, discussed plans for the two events sponsored by Campus Sisters every fall: Open house at Henley, Saturday, September 14. to 2 p.m., and the Campus Sister picnic at Henley, September 23, 4:30 p.m. All women so interested are invited to these affairs.
Many other changes have been made in the building during the summer. The fountain room has been redecorated. The men's check room has been moved to the east end of the lobby where a larger space is provided.
In the west end of the lobby a writing desk has been placed for those who want to work on their writing. The hall room has been dressed up a bit with a new drop curtain in front of the orchestra platform. New draps cover the seating in the men and women's lounges.
Any new girl who does not yet have a campus sister and desires one should call Mrs. Walker at Henley House, 1315 or Evangeline Clark, 1376J.

New Pledging Regulations Are Unsuccessful at Dividing Rushees Equally Among Lodges
SORORITIES END
SLIMMEST RUSH
WEEK IN YEARS
CHI OMEGAS TAKE 21
Total List Includes 131,
Showing Decline of 36
From Last Year
One hundred and thirty-one rushes were pledged to become members of eleven of the twelve sororities on the campus, but it was concluding what has been termed by the various organizations as the most tedious rhubarb season ever experienced.
The new rushing rules, set up to prevent the unequal division of the number of values in a table of values. The numbers pledged by the sororities varied over a wido range
Alpha Xi Delta did no pledging this season. The pledge list this year was considerably smaller than last season's when 167 were pledged.
Chi Omega pledged the highest number, 21. The Kappa's and the Alpha Kappa's each pledged HI. Kappa Alpha Kappa. The Alpha Kappa's and the 16 pledges, Alpha Delta IK, I5, and Beta Phi II. Sigma Kappa pledged six while Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Omicron II each received four of the ruthenium Zeta was low with pledges.
The various organizations expressed the need for revision of the rules. The purpose for which the new rules were imposed was not accomplished. Alternatively, the quota system was good, it did not help the smaller organizations to any extent.
Many of the rush captains and spokesmen for the houses declared that, beyond a doubt, the new rules were an improvement over the old rule but much reviation would be necessary before they would function properly.
The rush season began last Saturday morning with a series of teas. The week closed on Wednesday evening with a preferential dinner pledge cards were signed Thursday morning. The pledge list follows:

Season for Greek Pledging In Swing As 260 Register
Men's Rush Week to Close
Sunday After Three
Days of Intense
Activity
...
Men's rush week got off to a飞起 start Friday as 250 rushes registered at the Pan-Hellenic council headquarter and as 140 last year's lodge list numbered more than 320. Ed Tucker, president of the men's Pan-Hel, expressed the opinion that late registrations would bring this season closer to that of last year and possibly suit it.
Lunch, afternoon, dinner, evening and night dates today and two dates Sunday will finish up the rush season. Pledging services may be held any time before the rush season. Bob Williams, last year's president of the Men's Pan-Hellenic council, said yesterday that he thought possibly not all the rheuws were registering their dates. Tucker and John Murray, Pan-Hellenic secretary, have said that the rush
Although the registration tables in the Union building were closed at 4 o'clock Friday when the count was taken, late rushes may yet register their dates by calling for Ed Tucker at the Phi Gam house.
The purpose of the registration, it was explained, is to allow each fraternity to know where the rushes are to be found. The purpose is also to prevent rushes from being "kept out of circulation" while the rush season is open. If one fraternity monopolizes a rush with a rushes it must be registered so.
Each rushie must keep the first date with every fraternity with which he accepts dates. All subsequent dates should be communicated by phone conversation with the rushes or by a personal interview if the fraternity demands. Infractions of these rules will prevent the fraternity from pledging at graduation and the beginning of the next school year.
Each fraternity under the rules is obligated to have any rubes available in their house or another house calls for the rubes. Failure to have the rubes available within 10 minutes will subject the fraternity having the previous date to a
A committee headed by Henry F. Werner, men's student advisor, and composed of Ed Tucker, Lloyd Morgan, Carl Ward, and Dick Farris, will hear controversies and determine fines for infringements.
