Gamma Epsilon Pi Merges With Beta Gamma Sigma
Separate Honor Societies Seem as Useless Duplication
A reduction in the number of honorary societies was recently effected through the merging of Gamma Epsilon Pi with Beta Gamma Sigma. Beta Gamma Sigma was organized as an honor society for men in 1913; the Kansas was established in 1926. Gamma Epsilon Pi was first organized in 1918 as a professional business sorority, but in 1922 it became an honor society for women. The Kansas Chapter was formed in 1921.
The existence of separate honor societies for men and women in collegiate schools of business has been recognized for several years as an unwise and unnecessary duplication of organizations. At the 1927 convention of Beta Gamma Sigma, Edward Bock, b27, the Kansas delegate, introduced a resolution calling for amalgamation as instructed by the committee. The issue was actively discussed with the result that a favorable vote was obtained in both organizations in 1833.
Alumni members of Gamma Epsilon Pi are now eligible for membership in Beta Gamma Sigma. The Kansas Chapter of Gamma Epsilon Pi has had about twenty initiates. The fall elections of Beta Gamma Sigma, in which women will both be eligible, will be held some time during the next ten days.

At the meeting of officers were chosen: Frank L. Rearick, president; Wilkinson Leatherman, vice president; Mary Chandler, secretary; and Arthur Coyle, treasurer.
The purpose of this group is to form a pooling-place for ideas and sentiments and problems of all those who have interested in religion as a life work.
Meetings will be held every Thursday night at some regular room on the campus. The first few meetings will be held at home of the members, and common problems, and suggestions for coming these problems will be discussed.
Another aim of the group is to help other organizations on the Hill, who are now engaged in furthering the work of the Christian religion.
The members, besides the officers,
are: Robert Myers, Russell Crouch
Paul Sweeinie, Robert Edgar, and Wray
Choate.

City Will Consider Changing Location of Water Tower
Contract Will Not Be Let Until Agreement Has Been Made With Petitioners
After receiving petitions from University property owners, students and faculty members of the University, the city commission yesterday agreed to postpone the letting of the contract for the proposed 140-foot water tower west of the campus until an agreement had been reached between the commission and the representatives of the petitioning group.
That the proposed site will be of no benefit to the University was pointed out as evident in the fact that the University maintains is own private pumping system. The property owners advocate that another location, less harmful to the beauty of the West Hills district, would meet the demand of the new project as satisfactorily as would the proposed location on the west campus.
The group which met yesterday with the commission was composed of the appointed committee together with additional property holders. Out of this group a smaller committee was chosen to lead the committee for evening. This committee consists of L. C. Bushong, J. J. Wheeler, E. H. Taylor, Dr. Frank Strong, and Dean Shad.
A group of approximately 25 persons met with the city commission yesterday afternoon to discuss further the location of the tower.
Dr. Hyde Writes Letter
Professor H. B. Hungerford and the Kansan have just received letters from Dr. Ida H. Hyde, founder of the Hyde Scholarship for women specializing in the sciences, pointing out that there have been no Kansas students at Woods Hole, marine experimental station, for the past several years.
Hungerford and Kansan Hear From Founder of Scholarship
NUMBER 38
Professor Hungerford offers as a possible explanation of this the fact that students should know about their own surrounding first, and the Woods Hole station provides for study of marine life. He believes that many University of Kansas students have gone there, albeit not until they have taught awhile.
Professor Hungerford believes that every woman student of science should, if possible, attend such a school, as it is necessary to know about marine life in teaching and experimenting in science, and that Woods Hole is an excellent school to get such training. He said efforts would be made next spring to have a Kansas student go to Woods Hole station.
Dr. Hyde was connected with the University of Kansas from 1903 to 1924. She was head of the physiology department for many years. Dr. Hyde received her training in Germany and in American universities and is interested in women science students.
Professor R. E. Lawrence, of the department of sanitary engineering, is on leave of absence because of a 'federal appointment as engineering examiner in the office of R. J. Faullette, state engineer of federal public works administration. The length of the appointment is not 'known.
Cancellor and Mrs. Lindley, who have made frequent trips to Kansas City to hear him lecture, recommend this lecture as most interesting and educational. Students will be admitted at the door by their activity tickets. General admission for others will be 22 cents and 40 cents for reserved seats.
A trip "Around the World" with Dr Burton Holmes is in store for travel-lovers tomorrow night at 8:20 with the University auditorium as the starting point. Colored slides and original motion pictures will be used to illustrate the lecture, which is the second on the season's program.
The Hyde Scholarship was established to encourage women specializing in the sciences to obtain the training that is offered in biological stations.

Dr. Burton Holmes Will Illustrate Talk With Motion Pictures
During his absence his duties in the water and sewage laboratories and department of sanitary engineering have been given over to Paul Cernay, assistant engineer in the state sanitary engineering service.
Audience Dazed, Yet Delighted Over Spell Cast by Soprano Opera Artist
Dean of the School of Fine Arts One of the greatest audiences in several years paid homage last evening to one of the greatest artists ever to visit the city. That artist was Rena Ponsolle, who came, sang, and conquered. At the close of nearly two hours of glorious music, the audience departed dazed, yet delighted as an audience seldom is, by the spell this great singer had cast upon them.
It would be useless to single out any one number as deserving of especial comment. Each and every song was a violet picture of rare beauty as painted by this great American artist. The opening number, "Pace, Face, Mio Dio."
By D. M. Swarthout
The voice is one of luscious, pure soprano quality yet with a fullness and richness especially in the lower registers that suggests a real contraint. Students of voice, and there were many in the audience from far and near, heard a perfect exhibition of bel canto singing, perfect diction in Italian, French, German and English, an expression of moods ranging from abject grief and deepest emotion to the lightest humor and caprice.
It is not too much to say that probably no finer voice is before the public today. It is equally safe to say that not only as a singer, but as an actress as well, Ponselle takes possession of her audience from her first note and holds them in the palm of her hand until her final exit. Her body gestures, facial expression were so intrinsically a part of her art last evening that they could at no time be separated from her lovely singing.
It was a gracious and generous artist that faced her audience last evening. Confessing after the concert that from almost her first note in the magnificent auditorium that she knew all was well between herself and her hearses, she gave herself unreservedly to pleasing her public, coming back time and again as the applause kept up for as many as nine different encores. Four of these followed her singing of the Rossini aria, "Bel Ragggio Lusighier."
Committee to Consider Activity Plan Changes
Group Headed by Werner Will Administer Student Ticket
The student enterprise committee of last year met yesterday afternoon to discuss the present activity book and consider any changes that should be made, Henry Werner, men's student advisor and chairman of the committee, said this morning. Dr. F. C. Allen also attended the meeting.
This was the last meeting of the old enterprise committee, which was formed when the student enterprise ticket was a co-operative student and faculty project. Since the activity ticket has become compulsory it is under the direction of the joint student councils. A bill, passed late last year, provides for a central committee on the activity ticket, to consist of the dean of men as chairman, the dean of women, the presidents of all two student organizations of athletes, the chairman of the Union operating committee, the chairman of the Student Enterprise committee, the bursar, and one other member to be elected. This committee will be operating from now on, Mr. Werner said.
The committee at present has no authority to administer the details of the activity project, but a bill will be introduced at an early meeting to grant this power. It is also planned to increase student representation on the committee, which will then do all the work of the course instructor, yielding smooth out the rough spots in the present administration of the activity book.
Representatives from the several fraternities and sororites of the Hill who are planning to participate in the "Clown Parade" for the Missouri-Kansas day game will meet at 8 tonight in room 102, Journalism building.
PLANS FOR CLOUN PARADE
ARE TO BE MADE TONIGHT
The purpose of the meeting is to explain the details of the forth-coming event. Each Hill organization has been invited to send a representative.
Quill Club to Elect President

from the Verdi opera gave evidence at once of the unusual treat in store for the audience, and on down through the long list of lovely songs by Donauy, Korngold, Wolf-Ferrier, Tosti, Arenyc, Schumann, and others. The exquisite "Lulabhy" by Sadero made a profound impression on her listeners. The encores in a variety of moods offered such clever and comical songs as "Heine," "The Cuckoo Clap," old-medies dear to all, as "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," Italian folk song like the Tosol Nepali Song, operatic "Boris," from Camron, and the delibitousItalian action, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not," whereaid by a flower, Miss Ponselle depicted the heights, first of joy, then fear as, plucking petal by petal, she sought to know the worst or the best.
Assisting Miss Ponselle as accompanist was Miss Gayle Giles, who at the last moment was called in to assume the heavy responsibility of taking the place of Mr. Stuart Ross. Owing to a recent death in the family, Mr. Ross was unable to carry out his part. Miss Gites acquitted herself in splendid style and was a capable and sympathetic co-worker with Miss Ponselle before he left the job to assist in a Viennese Waltz by Friedman-Gartner, the Spanish Caprice by Mozzkowsky, and the Second Rhapsodie by Dohanyi, she demonstrated a fine ability and was enthusiastically received by the audience. As an encore to her second number she played the "Caprice Burlesque" by Gabrilowitsch.
Solons Ask for Figures on School Enrollments
House Passes Resolution Seeking Records From Five Groups
Toppek, Nov. 7—(UP)—The house of representatives today adopted a resolution presented by L. L. Strong, Jr., (Republican of Domiphan county) calling on the legislature to formulah the legislation with an understandable record of their enrollment.
Strong said the legislature should know whether attendance rolls are padded, and how many students are on the taxpayers' payroll. He said that in our school it is reported that 220 out of every 1,000 students are drawing salaries.
The resolution requests information to show the number of students registered and in attendance in classes at each institution. It asks also the number of instructors taking work for advanced degree, and the number of students and instructors on the state payroll. The department will amount paid each since the opening of the 1933-34 term. The department in which each is employed is asked, also.
Schools named in the resolution are the University of Kansas, Kansas State College at Manhattan, the Fort Hays State College and the St. Joseph's colleges of Emporia and Pittsburgh.
Editor's Note. The University of Kansas annually issues detailed studies of its enrolment as of Nov. 1 and March 1. The November, 1932, report is now receiving its final check in the office of Registrar George O. Foster.
