'Twin Slate' Enthusiasts Form KU Ski Club
By Ramona R. Rush
The popularity of the annual KU-Y ski holiday to the Colorado Rockies has proven itself by the formation of the KU Ski Club this Fall.
The Ski Club begins its monthly meetings in October, enlightening its members with films, basic ski instructions and exercises.
TOM MOORE, executive secretary of the YM-YWCA at KU, stated that the Ski Club will still be sponsored by the KU-Y staff but the separate club should allow more flexibility as to the size and number of trips.
THIS YEAR three KU foreign students will be invited to act as ski instructors. The instructors of last year, Arve Johnson, Norway, and Gerhard Rainer of Austria, were well qualified as they had been skiing since kindergarten age and had done some competitive skiing in jumping, slalom and cross-country racing. Ski sites for the KU groups will be the Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, a snow-covered area to the west of Loveland Pass.
The number of trips to be taken this year has not yet been determined. There are four vacations which may be utilized for the snow excursion, but David Cory, president of the KU Ski Club, said he felt only two trips would be possible. The between-semesters break will definitely be used for one excursion and the Easter vacation is being discussed for the other.
FROM THE MANY "tales of the trails" which are brought back by the KU skiers, this one probably brings the fondest memory. Jim McMullan, recording star of the campus, his guitar and a group of trail-yodeling student skiers converged on a resort cafe in the Colorado mountains one evening. Many hours, many songs, and m-a-n-y sore throats later, the natives were still begging for more entertainment from the KU "folk singers."
Amateurs and prospective skiiers will be encouraged to know that over 50 per cent of these attending the previous ski journeys had never been on skis before. In the past two years, there has been only one student hospitalized for an injury, a sprained ankle. The victim was classified as an intermediate skiier.
WHAT DOES A TRIP like this cost? Quoting last year's prices, $55 covered transportation, room and board (lunches excepted), insurance, instruction and tow tickets. This amount does not cover ski rental, which is generally under ten dollars.
Says David Cory, "We're quite enthused about the interest that has already been shown by the students toward the KU Ski Club. even though it is still in the planning stage."
Cory urges all those interested in skiing to contact him for details of the October meeting at which other Ski Club officers will be elected and more definite plans established.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the School of Pharmacy, 138 professors, their wives and families, students and guests attended the Pharmacy School picnic at Potter Lake last night.
Pharmacy School Kicks Off 75th Anniversary With Picnic
The first year for this affair, it was sponsored by local downtown druggists to acquaint students with the druggists and two new faculty members, Professor Edward Smissman and Assistant Professor Mathias Mertes.
Among other activities planned to celebrate the anniversary is the participation in National Pharmacy Week, Oct. 2-8. During this week KU will have a display in the Union which will be entered in national competition against other universities. Also in the Union will be a film series on pharmacy that week.
Looking ahead, Harley Russell. Topeka senior and Public Relations Chairman, said the school hopes to
accomplish much this year. "I hope we can impress upon citizens the importance of pharmacy and how it links you to the doctor, the part it plays in modern medicine, and how we can apply that here on campus."
Dance Auditions to Be Held
Auditions for dancers for the production "The Most Happy Fella" will be held at 7 p.m. tonight and tomorrow night, in the rehearsal room of the main theater in Murphy Hall, announced Tom Rea, director of the production.

Walt Brauer, Bonner Springs senior, said the KuKus will hold a rush smoker in the Kansas Union Tuesday night. Carol Stover, Colby senior and president of the Jay James, reported that invitations to join the Froshawks were mailed today.
Brauer stressed a need for more pep club members, and said the rush smoker will be for those students that couldn't pledge last year.

A new contract with the U.S. Public Health Service and a contract renewal with the Atomic Energy Commission will provide additional study at the University of Kansas in the radiation biophysies program.
The Public Health Service has given Frank E. Hoecker, professor of radiation biophysics, a one-year contract of $15,089.84 for study on "Micro-autoradiographic Techniques for Analysis of Bone."
A full-time assistant in the project is LeMoine J. Cunningham, a former KU graduate student from Lawrence. Cunningham is being trained to use autoradiographic methods for the U.S. Public Health Service.
The project's purpose is to develop techniques for detection and measurement, by autoradiographic methods, of the smallest possible amount of radium and strontium 90 in human beings who have been exposed to these substances.
Prof. Hoecker and Edward I. Shaw, associate professor of radiation biophysics, have received an AEC contract renewal of $12,000 for another year's study on "Radiochromatographic Investigation of Iodinated Components of Blood and Urine of Human Beings."

One of the most interesting pieces on display is a small water bottle from the 16th century. It is about five inches high and is made of wood with different biblical scenes carved on it.
Sixtenth through eighteenth century objects are included in the collection including enameled plates and silver pitchers.
The collection is on the second floor of the museum.
The display is one of several collections owned by the museum which must be rotated periodically because of limited space.
The Decorative Arts display is now on exhibition at the KU Art Museum.

Other members of the KuKu executive body are Bill Martin, Kansas City, Mo. senior, vice president; Bill Gurwell, Kansas City, Kan., senior, secretary, and Jim Hearson, Kansas City, Mo. senior, treasurer.
Approximately 200 girls were selected by petition. They were selected for place of residence to obtain even distribution between dorms, high school activities, and response to an essay question on what they thought they could add to KU spirit. The girls will be notified of their selection by invitation Tuesday.
No freshman men's pep club has been organized, but all interested freshmen are urged to contact Gurwell.

The freshman women's pen club. the Froshawks, has changed to selective membership.
A special section for 500 students at football games has been reserved by the pep clubs for students wearing white shirts. Jay James wearing red sweaters will be arranged in the section to form a KU on the background of white shirts.
Although the call was a false alarm, it is the policy of the Fire Department that all fire-fighting equipment be dispatched when a call comes from the campus.
Miss Janet Noel, house manager of Corbin Hall, said the freshman women were confused about the source of the alarm since it had not been sounded in the dorm.
The odor from an overheated plastic lamp shade brought several Fire Department trucks to Corbin Hall last night in answer to an unidentified phone call.
The School of Education reports 59 students who are student teaching this quarter. They will work on the job until Nov. 12.

The second quarter group will then take over from Nov. 14 until Jan. 21.
Le Cercle Francais, the University of Kansas French club, will hold its first meeting of the school year Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. in room 11 of Fraser Hall.
Don Baldwin, from Kansas City and of the Kaw Council, will be the speaker. Refreshments will be served.
Of this total, 49 are engaged in the bloc courses and 11 are taking eight hours or less of regular hours. On the job now are 27 students.
Anyone interested in French and the French-speaking world and who wants to practice speaking French, whether he is taking courses in the language or not, is invited to the "get acquainted" session of the Cercle.
Dorlan DeWitt, graduate student, said that all former scouts or anyone interested in serving the campus is invited to attend.
