200 Attend Senior Party
Frank Naylor, Kansas City, Kan. senior and president of the class, today termed Saturday morning's senior party "successful." Naylor said that students attended the back-to-school gathering at the Tee Pee.
"This was the best senior kickoff we have had in recent years. As a starter, we are providing the seniors with the most complete round of events that has been available to recent senior classes. The kickoff party itself was one of the best attended senior parties on record and the officers feel that this sort of spirit and interest will be present at parties and events planned for this year." Navlor said.
The seniors had lunch at the party and then went to the KU-TCU game as a group. It was originally planned to have a senior section at the game but the All Student Council said that there should be only one Senior Day during the football season.
The senior officers and committee heads will meet Thursday night to plan the year's senior events. The events will be published in the senior calendar later this year.

The purpose of tomorrow's meeting is to inform prospective members of the programs and to form committees. They are then called upon to organize and carry out these programs.
Some of the committees are arts and exhibits, dance, forums, hospitality, music and drama, public relations, special events, sports and hobbies, tournaments and lessons, and a secretarial committee.
Need 1,000 Workers
Last year's membership was approximately 800. However, the additional facilities of the new Union will necessitate a larger staff, estimated at 1,000.
The Kansas Memorial Union is one of the few student unions in the nation that operates under a large membership basis, i.e., by and for the student body.

The Treatise was published last month by the University of Kansas Press in collaboration with the Geological Society of America.
Charles W. Pitrat, assistant professor of geology at KU, is the assistant editor.
The volume, "Part 1, Mollusca 1," was written by J. Brooks Knight and nine other authors, including Dr. Moore. The mollusca, or "soft-bodied animals," are a large group of invertebrates living in the sea, in fresh water and on land.
This is the ninth volume of the Treatise, to which nearly 150 specialists from many countries are contributing. The 351-page volume sells for $7.50.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS
Today, if I am a little misty, who can blame me? For today I begin my seventh year of writing columns for the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes.
Seven years! Can it be possible? It seems only yesterday I walked into the Marlboro offices, my knickers freshly pressed, my cowlick wetted down, my oilcloth pencil box clutched in my tiny hand. "Sirs," I said to the makers of Marlboro—as handsome an aggregation of men as you will find in a month of Sundays, as agreeable as the cigarettes they make—mild yet hearty, robust yet gentle, flip-up yet soft pack—"Sirs," I said to this assemblage of honest tobaccoconsists, "I have come to write a column for Marlboro Cigarettes in college newspapers across the length and breadth of this great free land of America."
We shook hands then—silently, not trusting ourselves to speak—and one of the makers whipped out a harmonica and we sang sea chanties and bobbed for apples and played "Run, Sheep, Run," and smoked good Marlboro Cigarettes until the campfire had turned to embers.
"What will you write about in your column?" asked one of the makers whose name is Trueblood Strongheart.
"About the burning issues that occupy the lively minds of college America," I replied. "About such vital questions as: Should the Student Council have the power to levy taxes? Should proctors be armed? Should c eds go out for football?"
"Why, bless you, sirrs," I replied, chuckling silverly, "there is no other kind of word except a kind word to say about Marlboro Cigarettes—the filter cigarette, with the unfiltered taste—that happy combination of delicious tobacco and exclusive selectrate filter—that loyal companion in fair weather or foul—that joy of the purest ray serene."
"And will you say a kind word from time to time about Marlboro Cigarettes," asked one of the makers whose name is Honor Bright.
There was another round of handshakes then and the makers squeezed my shoulders and I squeezed theirs and then we each squeezed our own. And then I hied me to my typewriter and began the first of seven years of columning for the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes.
And today as I find myself once more at my typewriter, once more ready to begin a new series of columns, perhaps it would be well to explain my writing methods. I use the term "writing methods" advisedly because I am, above all things a methodical writer. I do not wait for the muse; I work every single day of the year, Sundays and holidays included. I set myself a daily quota and I don't let anything prevent me from achieving it.
My quota, to be sure, is not terribly difficult to attain (it is, in fact, one word per day) but the important thing is that I do it every single day. This may seem to you a grueling schedule but you must remember that some days are relatively easy—for example, the days on which I write "the" or "a". On these days I can usually finish my work by noon and can devote the rest of the day to happy pursuits like bird-walking, monopoly, and smoking Marlboro Cigarettes.

The makers of Marlboro are happy to bring you another year of Max Shulman's free-wheeling, uncensored column and are also happy to bring Marlboro Cigarettes, and for non-filter smokers—mild, flavorful Philip Morris.
