Homecoming plans set
Entries are due soon
Homecoming decoration entry forms and queen contest applications are due in two weeks.
Living groups planning a display must submit their entry forms to the House Decorations Committee by 5 p.m., Oct. 21, in 228 Strong.
Queen contestants must submit applications by 5 p.m., Oct.18, in the Dean of Women's office.
JUDGING OF THE four decoration divisions—sororites, women's
halls, men's halls, and fraternities
—will be between 6:30 and 10:30
p.m. Nov. 4. Grand prize winner
and winners in each of the divisions
will be announced Nov. 5 at
8:30 a.m., and each winning group
will be provided with a special
sign to display with their decorations.
Co-ed residence halls have been classified according to the sex of the majority of their occupants. MeCollum Hall will be in the
men's halls division while Naismith will be in the women's.
Five people, representing alumni, the city of Lawrence, faculty, and students will judge the decorations on a 100-point scale.
Fifty points will be given for "Appeal."
AKL pledges go to Ridglea
"CLEVERNESS of Expression" will count 20 points.
Lawrence Police officers were called to Ridglea Apartments shortly after midnight last night to investigate a disturbance call.
"Embodiment of the Theme" counts 15 points.
Involved were nearly 20 members of the Alpha KappaLambda
fraternity, according to residents in the area.
Bob Sears, Kansas City senior and fraternity president, said that it was merely a pledge walkout. He felt that the residents were concerned with the men congregating in the area.
The police reported that no arrests were made.
"Appropriateness and Good Taste" count ten points. "Condition of the Decoration" counts five points. Either of these could be penalty points subtracted by the judges.
Queen contestants will be judged the evening of Oct.26, and the three finalists will be named the next day.
ALL THREE finalists will make personal appearances on local radio and TV stations.
The Homecoming Queen will be announced at the half-time of the homecoming football game.
Dogs stage live-in at KU fraternities
KU's Greek houses shelter more than just people. They also contain a variety of animal mascots—though most of them are in the fraternity houses rather than the sorority houses.
Triangle and Delta Sigma Phi fraternities have more well-mannered mascots. In addition to a Yorkshire terrier, Triangle keeps several hamsters. Phi Kappa Sigma takes much pride in its 18-month-old goldfish.
Acacia fraternity is the home of a western redtailed hawk. Members report that the bird is being trained to attack a lure, so if you go to see it, avoid wearing anything which looks like food.
One member of Delta Tau Delta has perhaps the most unusual pet of all, a Mexican Iguana. "Iggie," as he is called by the Delts, is reportedly as tame as any other fraternity pet and is allowed a considerable amount of freedom in the house.
Until recently Phi Kappa Sigma also had two hawks, but apparently both became discontented. "One screamed so much we had to get rid of it," a fraternity spokesman said. "The other made little noise—it just escaped."
About the only sorority mascots on campus are at Alpha Delta Pi. Although their house rules forbid pets, the girls keep several tropical fish, and a turtle which "runs around out in the yard."
The Alpha Delta Pi regulation is similar to rules at the other KU sororities. Those not expressly forbidden to keep pets have informal agreements which discourage keeping them.
The fraternities, which have no such rules, keep a large array of dogs in addition to hawks and hamsters. A quick survey reveals at least 16 dogs, including two Newfoundlands, a great Dane, a basset hound, a toy collie, three St. Bernards, and a few dogs which are "mixtures of everything."
Officers meet,plan activities
The Board of Class Officers (BOCO) met last night at 7 p.m. in the Regionalist Room of the Kansas Union to report and discuss plans for the year.
BOCO, formed two years ago, is composed of all present and past class officers.
Tom Yergovich, Kansas City senior and senior class vice-president, said the purpose of BOCO is to help officers organize and adequately represent their classes.
"I THINK WE will be seeing a large change in class organization this year as they will be taking over more functions," he said.
All seniors are excused from classes for the senior coffee at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct.12, in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. Sweatshirts will be distributed and reports will be made by the HOPE committee and the regalia committee.
Senior Day will be Oct.15, the day of the Oklahoma game, and the senior party is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 11.
The Sophomore Class Congress (SCC), a first of its kind at KU, will take place during the next two weeks. Representatives are being elected this week from all living groups.
HOLLYWOOD - (UPI) — Robert Wagner will star in the title role of "Banning," an expose of morals among the country club set.
A junior class party is tentatively planned for late November or early December.
