Statewide Activities to Meet; Classes Will Be Dismissed
Statewide Activities, one of the largest and oldest student organizations on campus, will have its annual membership meeting at 9:20 a.m. Nov. 11. Students will meet with their county or regional chairmen in various rooms around the campus which will be announced later. Classes will be arranged so all students may attend.
Statewide Activities is the student public relations organization. The club's slogan for this year is "Let's Promote Us."
Wendell Koerner, Jefferson City, Mo., senior and Statewide president, said, "Statewide Activities is potentially the most effective student organization at KU since it promotes the idea of high school students coming to school here.
Clubs Present Assemblies
In the past, the county and regional clubs have presented high school assemblies, made window displays, provided visual aids and sent Jayhawker yearbooks to the high schools.
Hometown correspondents are also sponsored by this organization. At the end of the year a prize is given to the correspondent with the largest amount of material printed in his hometown newspaper.
The organization began in 1908 as a social group when the students from Dickinson County got together just to see each other again. Members of this group told their friends and other similar groups started.

Statewide decreased in activity during World War I but in 1920 Alfred G. "Scoop" Hill became alumni secretary of the University.
While he was the organization's adviser a memorial campaign was carried out which raised enough money to build the Kansas Union and football stadium. "It was the greatest uprising of KU spirit there has ever been," said Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
Correspondents Originated
During the depression the idea of hometown correspondents was hit upon so there would still be some means of communication between KU students and their hometowns.
After the depression the University wanted more appropriations. Statewide invited all members of the legislature and their wives to dinner and a basketball game at KU. Each legislator had a student as a host. The legislators ate at the student's sorority, fraternity, dormitory or co-op house. Mr. Ellsworth said the University did not get much of an appropriation but it improved the legislators' attitudes toward the University.
Statewide's other officers are:
John Reiff, Wichita junior, vice president; Geneva Doze, Gypsum
senior, secretary-treasurer; Glenda Price, Topeka junior, publicity chairman; Lorinda Neville, Kansas City, Mo., junior, personnel chairman; Barbara Bastin, Scott City senior, hometown correspondent chairman; Mary Eta McDuffie, Overland Park senior, out of state chairman; and Kay Moon, Independence junior, high school hostess chairman.
