Are You Guilty?
Mighty Messy Eaters
Student employees at the Hawk's Nest find most of the customers both courteous and considerate, but there is a list of undesirables that prevails among the busboys.
When asked to comment on their pet peeves, the busboys placed one group above all others —the "souwers."
These individuals take a syrupfilled banana split dish, fill it halfway with cold coffee, add two or three cigarette butts, a piece of used chewing gum, and toss in a napkin or two.
Though the ingredients are not constant, the results are the same each time—a stomach-disturbing mess which the busboy hopes he can pick up with his fingertips.
Another unpopular exhibit left by some customers is the "sugar frosted" table. Some of the more nervous students have the habit of spreading sugar, tiny pieces of plastic spoons and bits of paper on the tables.
One employe observed that many of the newspapers on campus eventually end up on the tables of the Hawk's Nest. Students bring the papers in, casually glance at them then leave them there.
The practical jokers do not seem terribly funny to the busboy who has to untie soggy tea bags from the cup handles, or mop up the water spilled on the floor when he tries to pick up the inverted, but filled, cup or glass.
Opinions were split on the "table and tray markers." This group has, at times, come up with some pretty entertaining material, one student said. However, another feels that the entertainment ceases when one is assigned to clean off the "artistic" markings.
The Hawk's Nest employs about 50 KU students, plus many local high school students.

CLOSE HARMONY—You may have your own opinion as to whether the members of this Sigma Nu trio, a part of the fraternity's Rock Chalk skit, are good singers. It's a cinch they're loud.

Union Director Seeks Loan For Addition
Frank R. Burge, Kansas Union director, will meet with officials Wednesday in Fort Worth, Tex., to seek approval of an $800,000 loan for a proposed addition to the Kansas Union.
The plans call for construction on the north side of the Kansas Union. Mr. Burge said he thinks the addition will be necessary to handle an expected enrollment increase in the 1960's. Construction is expected to start in October.
Mr. Burge will submit preliminary drawings to Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency officials. He said Monday that he is optimistic that the loan will be approved and that the 6-level (three floors and three basements) addition will be completed in June 1960.
"The FH and FHA probably will want to consider the plans for a week or two," he said. "We may not hear from them directly. The announcement is likely to come from senators in Washington."
If the loan is approved additional money for the one million dollar building would come from the sale of bonds.
Saturday Revue Tickets Sold Out
Tickets for the Saturday night performance of the Rock Chalk Revue are sold out, according to Ted Hall, Garden City junior and sales chairman.
Hall said good seats are still available for the Friday performance.
Student To Speak To ASC At 7:30
Joseph Madawela, Kadugaurawa, Ceylon, special student, will speak at the All Student Council meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Union Pine Room.
Madawela will give his views on American student government as compared with other systems. He was head of the student government when he attended college in Ceylon, and has seen student government in operation in several other countries.
The ASC will also hear a subcommittee report on the proposed "8-week amendment." The amendment would require that any ASC seats vacated within eight weeks of
a general election would not be filled before the election.
There will also be reports from committees on the proposed international affairs conference and on student publications.
The Finance and Auditing Committee will report its findings for reclassifying the Student Bar Assn. The SBA wants to be classified as a "social, service or administrative" function under the ASC constitution. This would make the SBA eligible for an appropriation from the ASC toward the expenses of its annual Law Day banquet.
IFC Presidential Tenure Lengthened
A constitutional amendment increasing the term of office of the president of the Inter-fraternity Council from one semester to a full year was approved at a meeting Monday night of the council in the Kansas Union.
Stuart Gunckel, Kansas City. Mo. senior and IFC president, said the amendment would become effective with the IFC elections late this semester.
Another amendment, which would have made it mandatory for all IFC representatives to live in their chapter houses during their term of office, was tabled for two weeks.
The motion for amendment was amended to exclude Lawrence residents from the ruling and failed as amended. The original amendment proposal was then made as a motion.
Three rules governing the pledging and depledging of members were established.
One rule authorizes the rush chairman to obtain the names of students in the University and those entering at midsemester, who wish to join a fraternity, and distribute the names to the fraternities for midsemester pledging.
A second ruling sets up a mechanism for a more formal depledding procedure. A form must now be filled out in triplicate stating the member's intention to depledge.
The third rule requires fraternities to submit a candidate list to the IFC at least one week before initiation.
