Greek Week Sing Entry Deadline Set For Friday
The deadline for entries by fraternities and sororities for the Greek Week sing has been extended to Friday by Ed Dittemor, Robinson junior, chairman.
The sing will be held in the Student Union Ballroom at 7:30 p.m. March 6, with the public invited to attend.
Dittemor said that entries must be in by Friday so that the program can be arranged in time to be printed. So far 11 sororities and 15 fraternities have entered.
Those entered will be informed of the time they appear. Trophies have been purchased for the winners and will be on display in the Student Union during the last week of February.
Dittemor said that each fraternity and sorority must sing one chapter song and one other in the competition. Those that have named only one song should see or call Dittemor by the end of this week.
Last year's winners of the sing were Beta Theta Pi in the fraternity division and Chi Omega in the sorority division.

Is Modern Humor Ruining The Spirit Of Valentine's Day?
Everything from clothes to cigarette ads speaks, "Live modern." One of the latest developments in this progress has been the change from the "Hearts to Flowers" valentine.
No longer do the cards bear endearing verses of love, but rather they are tense, short poems such as "Do I want you for a Valentine? Things are that bad" or "Who loves you truly? I do-ly."
was not what he had in mind as he went about bringing cheer to the poor and sick. But like the trend in music, art, and literature, contemporary humor is for the modern mind. It must have its stab at the world and while it is striving to survive will be found in everything from Christmas cards to Valentines.
It's doubtful what the good St. Valentine of the 3rd century would have thought of this. It evidently
No matter what the verses may say, the true sentiment of the day lies behind it in that the primary thought is to send to friends and loved ones a reminder you are thinking of them.
The Gall Of These Acting Upstarts!
The University Players erected a theatrical milestone, "Pity Poor Pearl," in Green Theater Wednesday. Which only proves that unsupervised student productions are a danger to the civilized theater.
Director William Teichgraeber, Emporia junior, and his colleagues have had the unbelievable audacity to present an old-fashioned melodrama as if it were supposed to be entertaining! How dare they be so vulgar as to make an audience laugh continuously for two hours! What right do they have in encouraging spectators to boo, cheer, and enjoy themselves? How pedestrian of them to peddle popcorn and soft drinks during the performance!
Moreover, incredible as it seems, they actually were enjoying presenting this blasphemous interpretation of a tale that is essentially tragic. Further, this lascivious evening was climaxed by the immodest cast taking five curtains
Is nothing sacred? What has become of compassion and respect for one's elders? Is it no longer possible to attend the theater here and have an extended, quiet, boring time? With all that laughter and applause, the usual catnap was inconceivable! And with those screeching vendors running about, it was quite impossible to see or be seen by one's fellow dilettantes during the intermission. How revolting!
calls amidst a thunderous ovation from the assembled clods.
They Can Stay At Home
Lovers of the more tasteful drama who admire and respect the three unities, powerful characterizations, superb makeup, brilliant direction, realistic settings, and an unusual plot will prefer to stay home and wallow in the academic trough of "good theataah."
They Can Stay At Home
But the animals, what ain't got no "couth," will getta lotta boffs and have a reel krazee baw!
Popcorn, pennies, programs, and paper towels littered the stage each time villian George Edwards, Kansas City, Kan., senior, twirled his
moustache and threatened herine Joyce Elliott, Independence, Mo., sophomore. But to the loudly audible satisfaction of the audience, heroic Harper Barnes, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, came to her rescue in time to thwart Edwards and villainess Lee Ann Johnston, Topeka senior.
Woven into a plot commonly popular at the end of the last century were other standout characters played by Vera Stough, Lawrence junior, and Herbert Culp, Overland Park senior, who played a dual role. Comedy came thick and fast through the energetic antics of Marvin Carlson, Wichita senior, and triple threat Dale Bellerose, Lawrence sophomore, both of whom, it is said, contrived a hilarious sketch involving an apple.
They Were Good. Too
Musically, Margaret Chelglin,
Glencoe, III, ill. junior, provided the comic showstopper with a solo of
"A Good Man Is Hard To Find."
All the principal characters sang
solos, which, thank goodness,

Food, Disease Problems In Asia
Although Burma now is lacking in food and has a great disease problem, it is emphasizing education which should help it a great deal in a few years, George Beckman, associate professor of history told the CCUN Wednesday.
Mr. Beckmann spoke on "Southeast Asia Today," relating some of his experiences on his recent visit to Burma, Thailand, Singapore, Saigon and Manila.
In comparing Burma and Thailand, Mr. Beckmann said that although Thailand has progressed in combating disease, the lack of a vigorous government is expected to hinder its progressiveness in the near future. Thailand is governed by a dictator.
The status of the political situation of the "SE" countries was of particular interest, Mr. Beckmann said. All the countries have large Chinese populations, and many of the children are sent to China to school where they are under Communist influence.
The next meeting of the CCUN is scheduled for early March and will feature a debate on the Eisenhower doctrine.
Graduate Student Rushed To Hospital

Lions To Help Jay Watchers
The Lawrence Lions Club has agreed to collect funds in the Lawrence area for the Jay Watchers fund, Bob Reck, Wichita senior, said Wednesday.
Palmer Dark Jr., Dodge City junior, is in charge of radio publicity for the campaign.
"Right now, we want to raise about $3,000 to televise the K-State game," John B. Cooke, Overland Park senior, said. "We anticipate no difficulty in raising the amount. We want to get on the air so we can reach the people of surrounding areas and interest them in our plan."
Cooke asked that anyone interested in helping with the project call Reck or him as soon as possible.
