New midshipmen meet Navy staff at reception
Soft lights, the clicking of high heels, formal dresses, and the jerking rhythm of "It's Alright Baby" seems a strange atmosphere for KU's Naval Reserve Of-
fiefer's Training Corps (NROTC) unit.
Yet there was not one sound from the bully voice of "square away mister" so frequently heard
Sororities to initiate rush
KU's 13 sororities initiate rush activities this week with "open house" Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Seven hundred and fifty to seven hundred and seventy-five freshman women are expected to attend the 25-minute, get-acquainted parties held in each house, according to Glenda Hord, Panhellenic president and Kansas City senior.
Women attend parties in alphabetical groupings. They will be introduced to the housemothers and officers and given an opportunity to become acquainted with members.
THE OPEN HOUSE climaxes orientation begun Oct. 12 and forms the basis for the first invitational parties in February.
An introduction to sorority living was presented by Miss Hord on Oct.12 in Corbin, Oliver and Gertrude Sellards Pearson Halls as part of a three-facet program. Representatives from the scholarship halls and upperclass dormitories gave similar introductions. Their speeches included information concerning costs, requirements, extra-curricular demands and governmental structure.

"College Men need a Specialist to help them get the most for their insurance dollars. That's because college men's insurance requirements differ from those of non-college men.
I specialize in life insurance for college men, with College Life's famous policy, THE BENEFACTOR, designed expressly for college men. And since college men are preferred risks. The Benefactor is priced to sell exclusively to college men. Like to know more? Call me. No obligation, of course."

From 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday the new midshipmen of KU's NROTC met the staff officers and their wives in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
MIDSHIPMAN Fourth Class Stephen Getter, Shawnee freshman, said, "This is very nice. It's a good chance to meet the Captain and the rest of the staff."
Midshipman Lt. Jack Steury, Springfield, Mo., senior and chairman of the Hawk Watch Society, said, "The reception gives both the Captain and the new men an opportunity to meet each other." He said the reception is held every fall semester, and it serves as preparation for the regular Navy where there are many receptions held for commanding officers and admirals.
Steury said there are approximately 70 new students in the program this year.

KU's Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR's) are presently engaged in campaigning for their party's candidates in the coming elections.
Last Friday the CYR's joined other state young Republican groups in a campaign cavalcade to Manhattan. Leaving Lawrence at 2 o'clock Friday, the CYR's made stops at four small towns; "Off the campaign's beaten path," said Bob Sears, Kansas City senior and vice-chairman for CYR publicity.
Once in these towns, the CYR's passed out leaflets and drove around speaking over loud speakers in their cars.
Their purpose was primarily the support of the re-election of Gov. William Avery, although a certain amount of campaigning for other Republican candidates was also conducted.
Describing the trip as "very successful." Sears spoke of the speakers at the Manhattan meeting. State Republican Chairman George Nettels spoke in support
