Frat 'wheels' active
Car pool helps coed
By WILL HARDESTY
Mary Dotson, with the help of Phi Kappa Tau, is taking Medieval History.
Mary is a Lawrence freshman who is confined to a wheelchair. The Phi Tau's have formed a car pool to take her to and from her class.
Mary wants to major in English and become a writer. One of her hobbies is reading, and she would like to write fiction.
SHE RATES HER history course as "kind of hard," and is "hoping for a B." One of the things which has made the course enjoyable for her is the teacher, Lynn Nelson, assistant instructor of history.
"I really like him. I feel I'm learning something from him, and I like his jokes.
"I'm most interested in the struggle of the Church in the middle ages and in its literature and art."
Mary, who rates herself as "definitely a tube fiend," tries to do her studying in the afternoon so she can watch TV in the evening. She watches "mostly comedies."
Last semester, she took Psychology I. This semester besides history, she is taking English I by correspondence.
THE PHI TAUS have been taking Mary to class since the start of the semester. The KU-Y had made an appeal for help to enable Mary to attend class.

WIGSTON, England—(UPI)—Jim Colver was a mighty proud man when he replaced the old wooden gate in front of his house with a modern wrought iron one. But the town council, listening to neighbors' complaints that it kept them awake with its "squeaking and thudding," ordered him to restore the wooden gate.

project is done on a rotating basis.
"I had heard the Phi Tau's had moved into an apartment south of the campus, so I called them. I talked to Jim Day when I called. He thought it was a good idea, proposed it to the chapter, promoted it, and organized it."
THE 50 MEMBERS of the fraternity take turns taking Mary to and from Malott Hall. Two members of the house show up

Please don't zlupf Sprite. It makes plenty of noise all by itself.
Sprite, you recall, is the soft drink that's so tart and tingling, we just couldn't keep it quiet.
Flip its lid and it really flips.
Bubbling, fizzing,
gurgling, hissing and carrying on all over the place.
An almost excessively lively drink
Hence, to zlupf is to err.
What is zlupfing?
Zlupfing is to drinking what smacking one's lips is to eating.
It's the staccato buzz you make when draining the last few deliciously tangy drops of Sprite from the bottle with a straw.
PRITE IS A REGISTERED TRADE MARK
It's completely uncalled for. Frowned upon in polite society. And not appreciated on campus either.
But. If zlupfing Sprite is absolutely essential to your enjoyment; if a good healthy zlupf is your idea of heaven, well...all right.
But have a heart. With a drink as noisy as Sprite, a little zlupf goes a long, long way.
SPRITE, SO TART AND
TINSELING, WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP IT QUIET.

But it isn't just a regular job to Whitcomb's mother. "We wanted it done by Christmas, if we could get it done by then," she said. "We wanted to visit his sister in Kansas City and spend Christmas Eve there. We haven't been able to go anywhere before."
