GREEK WEEK BEGINS—Delta Upsilon fraternity yesterday began its observance of Greek Week with an open initiation. The open initiation is symbolic of the fraternities origin as an anti-secret organization.

Students Charter Bus
"New York and points east, east bound bus leaving Joseph R. Pearson, Lewis and Templin" is the homing call for 40 students.
Howard Cohen, Flushing, N. Y., freshman, said that the idea for a chartered bus originated when students from the New York and Philadelphia areas had a hard time finding transportation home.
Cohen said:
"There are quite a few men in JRP who live in the East. Some of us just got together and decided to try a chartered bus. If it works we may try it again in June. It costs $46 round trip, that makes it about $26 one way."
Cohen said that 35 students had signed up, leaving four vacant seats.
Eleven women and 24 men with as much luggage as they want to take will ride the Greyhound express bus straight through to New York City. These students will stop only to change drivers, eat and refuel.
The extra luggage weight restrictions pose no problems for the students. The Greyhound Co. has agreed to ship any extra baggage ahead free of charge two days before the students leave.
The bus will leave JRP at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, swing around to pick up the travelers from Lewis and Templin, then leave Lawrence. The students plan to arrive in New York City sometime Friday evening.
Eugene Sparks, Glendora, N. J., freshman, said that he was looking forward to the trip home because: "It's good and inexpensive. It won't be as tedious or monotonous as the trip in a car. I won't be driving in shifts with other students, and there will probably be a lot of singing with vacation starting."
Famous Biochemist to Speak Tonight
Aaron Bendich, of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, will speak on "Studies on the Biological Activity of Nucleic Acids" at 7:30 tonight in Bailey Auditorium The public is invited.
He received international attention for his work in obtaining a purified polyoma cancer nucleic acid which produced a cancer when injected into normal mice.
Dr. Bendich is Chief of the Section of Organic Biochemistry at the Institute in New York City.
"Dr. Bendich extracted the nucleic acid, which is involved in controlling the synthesis of proteins for new cells from the polyoma cancer, and injected this material into normal mice to produce cancer," Prof. Shankel said.
