CHI OMEGA MODEL INITIATE
Diana Thompson, St. Louis sophomore, relaxes in the house living room in the middle of a busy day.
Name: Diana Thompson, alias "DT."
Is "DT" an abbreviation of Diana the Terrible? Negative; it stands for dictionary, and Diana acquired it while she and some of her friends were working cooperatively last year on English themes. It seems if anyone needed a Webster's verification or a Roget's substitute, it was easier to ask "Dt" than look it up. Her overall grade point average stands at 2.33.
BEING MODEL initiate meant being the last pledge to be activated. It amounted to a "four or five hour wait." Diana said, "and I began to be afraid I had been forgotten."
Recently, however, she has been tagged with a more flattering title, that of model initiate of the Chi Omega pledge class. This is an honor placed on the pledge whose attitude and actions were most representative of the ideal Chi Omega. Elected by the entire sorority, she was named model initiate during the activation ceremonies Oct. 7.
Greek secrecy prevents her from disclosing exactly what the
CARTOONS GO'WAY BACK
MINNEAPOLIS — (UPI)— The art of caricature, forerunner of today's cartoon, goes back as far as Aristotle and Aristophanes. There also is evidence of some humor in the art of ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Greek and other civilizations, according to Art Instruction Schools of Minneapolis.
ceremony entailed, but Diana was the only pledge activated individually; the others were activated in groups. Diana says she "couldn't have been paid a better compliment."
DIANA'S SCHEDULE this year includes 15 hours of astronomy, anthropology II, French V, western civilization, Roman archaeology, and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Not knowing that it would belong to her a year later, Diana picked her own congratulatory gift. The model initiate tradition has recently included the presentation of an honorary token.
Early last fall Diana helped a sorority sister, then a Chi Omega senior, choose a ring to be passed down yearly to future model initiates. Diana is the second to wear that ring.
Tentatively, she plans to major in French, a decision resulting primarily from her six-week visit in France last summer while attending KU's French Institute. The trip culminated in six hours of credit and an immeasurable amount of memories, she said.
Explaining her educational requirements, Diana said the trip improved her French 100 per cent.
She discovered the French dislike loud, boisterous Americans who expect them to speak English. "After they met and got to know us, we had great fun. We discussed music, movie stars, politics—everything."

PIZZA LOVERS,
We will be the first to admit, NO ONE can deliver a pizza as fresh as just from the oven. We think everyone knows this, but, when it comes to delivering any food, the quality of the product depends on: A. Time involved; and B. Type of heat used to keep it hot.
We can make most of our pizza deliveries in 15 to 20 minutes. But our speed is important only for your satisfaction. We can keep pizza at exactly the proper temperature (154 degrees) and at just the right humidity (84%) for hours. This is because we have the only humidity controlled delivery ovens in town.
If you want your pizza fresh from the oven, come on out to the Corral at 1401 West 7th, or if you're too busy, give our deliveries a try tonight.
