Sorority Women's Holiday Mixer Features Gossip, Coffee, Songs
By Carol Merryfield
Strains of Christmas carols and the aroma of hot coffee greeted sorority members at the sorority mixer held by the Junior Panhellenic Council last night.
Squeals of "Hello, how are you and who are you dating now?" were heard as women saw friends they had not seen since classes started. Bits of gossip and news were exchanged over cups of coffee or punch, cookies and cigarettes.
THE ENTERTAINMENT and highlight of the evening was supplied by members from Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities.
The Blue Notes, a trio from Alpha Tau Omega, sang their rendition of several Kingston Trio numbers. The trio members,
Clark Ellis, Kent Welsh, and John Seewers, all Wichita freshmen, added gaiety and laughter to the party.
Reginald Buckner, Kansas City senior, played "My Funny Valentine" and an encore number. He was introduced as "KU's answer to Count Basie," and his performance didn't disappoint the audience.
TO PROVE that sorority members have talent, too, a skit was given by each sorority's pledge class. Janet Johnston, Topeka sophomore, representing Alpha Delta Ph., was chairman and coordinator of the skit committee.

Prof. Knos Claims Kansas Is A 'Nursery' to United States
University students may be surprised to learn they are in a "nursery" to the nation, according to Duane Knos, assistant professor of geography.
Prof. Knos in reporting to the Kansas today his observations of population shifts said nearly half of Kansas' natural population has been lost by a net out-migration to other states.
"KANSAS, like other states in the Missouri River Basin, is serving as a nursery by producing more people than most states do but failing to retain those people," he said.
The professor said the birth and death rates and the rate of natural population increase in Kansas are all higher than the national average. However, the 1960 Kansas population of 2,130,000 represents only a 12 per cent increase since 1950 while the U.S. population grew 19 per cent.
ACCORDING TO Prof. Knos' report, 63 per cent of all Kansans now are "urbanites." Since 1500 the met-

popolitian areas of Kansas City. Wichita and Topeka grew by nearly 75 per cent. These areas now make up 37.2 per cent of all Kansas population as compared to 30.1 per cent in 1950. Prof. Knos said.
Apparently Kansas farmers are losing also in the battle to keep the children home growing wheat.
