Greek Week Panel Tonight; Four Lads to Sing at Dance
Greek Week for 1960 is under way. It started yesterday with several Greek groups attending church together in special seating sections. The climax of the week will come Saturday at the annual Greek Week Dance. There the Greek Week queen will be announced and crowned. A panel discussion will take place tonight with three faculty members and three collegiate Greeks.
An added attraction this year is the Four Lads vocal recording group which will sing during the intermission at the dance.
Ronald Dalby, Joplin, Mo., junior, a co-chairman of this year's Greek Week committee, said the Four Lads will replace the previously-scheduled intermission entertainment by the Kai Winding Orchestra, of Chicago. Dalby reported the change was made because Winding is now in a Chicago hospital with pneumonia.
Saturday will be the first time the Four Lads group has appeared at KU
Admission to the dance will cost $2.50 a couple.
Queen Crowned
The Greek Week queen, who will be crowned during the dance intermission, will be one of these three finalists selected yesterday at the Kansas Union:

Marriage Said To Be Happier
Here is encouraging news for engaged couples and males who are debating about proposing marriage soon to anxious KU maidens. Those reportedly-anxious women will welcome this report too.
Reuther Hill, director of the University of Minnesota Family Study Center, reports today's marriages are happier than those in the past.
Mr. Hill gave United Press International these reasons why and reports future marriages as a whole should be happy for the same reasons:
- Husband and wife are more frequently partners in the realm of earning and spending the family income.
- Authority in decision-making is more likely to be shared in all phases of life, including recreation, choice of friends, sex relations and child discipline.
- Integration of recreation for both sexes has increased the possibilities of companionship in play.
- There is a much less pronounced division of labor within the home than there has been in past years.
- Trends in the husband-wife relationship have their counterparts in the parent-child relation. Thus authority is shared and greater companionship between the generations have made parents and children closer friends than their predecessors.
Patton Leads Students In Study of Psalms
Maybe Mr. Hill's report will make the future look much brighter for young people who have been reading about the hundreds of divorces taking place.
Luncheon seminar meeting to study the Biblical Psalms will be held noon until 12:50 p.m. Wednesday and Friday
John H. Patton, pastor of the KU Presbyterian students, leading the meetings, said although the students meet at the United Presbyterian Hall for the study, students of all faiths and denominations are welcome.
The meetings will also be held Wednesdays and Fridays of the two weeks after this one.
A panel discussion between faculty members and representatives of Greek houses here is scheduled for 8:15 tonight in the Jayhawk Room at the Kansas Union. The room for the discussion will be posted on the bulletin board in the Union.
The topic to be discussed is the responsibility and relationship of the Greek system to KU.
Representing the faculty's views are Ruth McNair, instructor of biology, Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, and Franklyn C. Nellick, associate professor of English.
Students on the panel are: Lance Johnson, Wymore, Neb., senior, president of interfraternity council, Lyndon Bailey, Topeka junior, chairman of Panhellenic Council, and Alice Gould, Kansas City, Mo., senior, president of associated women students.
This panel discussion is open to all interested students, not only for Greeks.
The Greek Scholarship Banquet will take place at 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Room. The president, scholarship chairman and honor initiate from each sorority and fraternity house will attend.
Exchange Dinners Held
Five members from each Greek house will act as house representatives Wednesday night and each will eat dinner at a different house. Members of large houses will visit smaller houses as much as is possible, Dalby said.
A change from last year has been made in setting up plans for the annual Greek Week sing, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
This year's sing limits each house's entry to a large or small ensemble division, but not both. This has been done to allow smaller houses to compete fairly with larger ones.
The change also will limit the time of singing, since members of the Greek Week committee feel that this event has tended to last too long in the past, Dalby said.
Greeks Help Voters
Friday night from 5 to 8, members of Greek houses will be helping Lawrence voters register to vote.
Members of the houses will canvass the 18 voting precincts of Lawrence to find which voters have failed to register to vote this year. If a voter is unregistered, he will be offered transportation in one of the Greek cars to City Hall to go register.
The Lawrence City Council recently ruled that City Hall will remain open until midnight Friday to enable Greeks to carry out their project.
