Jayhawks Overwhelm Opponents In State Fencing Championships
Students from KU swept three out of four events this weekend in the Kansas division championships of the Amateur Fencers League of America. The meet was held at KU.
In the men's foil competition, Mike Munson, Salina junior, defeated Dave Truxal, Vicksburg, Mich., junior, in a fence-off for the title. John Dillard,
Canoes Race Downriver In Annual Fraternity Fete
Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, held their annual canoe race on the Kansas River this week-end.
The race began at 9:30 Saturday morning at the Lecompot bridge. Eight teams entered from four chapters in the area competed. The race was about 15 miles long, according to fraternity members. The finish line was at the Lawrence Aqua Club docks just west of the Massachusetts Street bridge.
The winning team was from Em-
Jayhawk fencing coach, placed third in this division.

In the epee competition, Esamel Shafey, Prague, Czechoslovakia, junior, was first. Dr. Reto Engler of Kansas City was second, and Steve Wells, Chanute senior, placed third.
poria State. They crossed the finish line with a winning time of one hour and 55 minutes. A KU team finished second with a time of two hours and 33 minutes.
The sabre event was won by Dr. Frank Bartone of Kansas City, Ted Hootman, Wichita, placed second, and Dick Monteau, Box Elder, Mont., senior, was third.
If you are planning a trip to Europe this June, by now you probably have your luggage plans calculated down to the last half-pound of wash-and-wear. We're aware of the problem, but still want to make a special plea for one small paperback (total weight: 8.937 ounces).
The Dolphin Guide To Paris (Dolphin, $1.45) isn't an absolutely necessary travel companion. But, especially if this is your first trip, we urge you to buy it anyway. Even if you plan to tour a great many cities, you should make it a point to know at least one of them really well. And Paris — well, it may not be Senator Fulbright's favorite and we understand the "in" people are going to Oslo this year — but Paris is still more things to more men than any place else on earth. William Davenport's pocket-sized guidebook will take you to see practically everything worth seeing and will show you where you can do practically everything worth doing. It includes an astonishing amount of off-beat information on such things as laundry and drug stores, and still manages to be as delightfully sophisticated as the city it celebrates.
For some with less escapist plans for June, The Checklist For A Perfect Wedding (Dolphin, 95e) is recommended as a cure for frayed nerves, as a mediator between emotional brides-to-be and their emotional mothers, and as an accurate, sanity-saving guide to the innumerable details that go into planning a wedding. Mrs. Follett's book is correct, complete, and in chronological order, and neither the future bride nor her mother should have to struggle along without it. For future bridegrooms, we advance two suggestions. First, if you get a copy, you'll at least know why you never get to see the girl you are about to marry. Second, despite all evidence to the contrary, you will play a fairly important supporting role at your wedding, and you will find the checklists helpful too.
Our final choice for pre-graduation reading is a recognized classic. In fact, the title of William H. Whyte's book, The Organization Man (Anchor, $1.45), has so firm a place in our language that it may come as a surprise to be reminded that it was first published less than 10 years ago. In the intervening years, the way of life Mr. Whyte describes has become the way of life for most middle-class Americans. Going to graduate school instead of directly into industry? "Blood brother to the business trainee off to join Du Pont," Mr. Whyte writes, "is the seminary student who will end up in the church hierarchy, the doctor headed for the corporate clinic, the physics Ph.D. in a government laboratory, the intellectual on the foundation-sponsored team project, the engineering graduate in the huge drafting room at Lockheed, the young apprentice in a Wall Street law factory."
Whether or not The Organization Man describes the kind of life you want to lead, it is absorbing, important reading for anyone interested in American society as it is today.
The three books reviewed above are published by the sponsors of this column, Doubleday Anchor Books. 277 Park Avenue, New York City and another companion company. You will find the all at one of the best equipped bookellers in the country - your own college store.
