Exchange meal sets Greek pace
KU's annual Greek Week festivities began last night as every sorority and all but two fraternities sent members to other Greek houses as dinner guests.
Each participating house sent nine delegates, three to three different houses, in exchange for nine guests of its own to host for a dress dinner.
First exchange dinner
"We have sold 1,050 reserve tickets," Sally Lillard, Salina senior and banquet chairman, said. "and this attendance is much better than in past years."
First exchange dinner "This is the first year the exchange dinners have been a part of the Greek Week program," Sharon Mahood, Springfield, Mo., senior and Greek Week co-chairman, said, "and an evaluation of house participation cannot be made."
To boost attendance at tonight's Greek Week Banquet, most fraternities and sororites have agreed not to serve dinner at the houses. The banquet will be at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Learned will speak
The banquet program includes a talk by Stanley Learned, president of Phillips Petroleum Co. and Phi Delta Theta alumnus, and entertainment from a combo led by Jim Trigg, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and soloist Chuck Crossen, Sigma Chi.
Trophies also will be presented to the houses and pledge classes with the highest grades for the first semester.
Greeks attending the banquet will vote for the Greek Week Queen as they enter the ballroom. The queen will be chosen from a field of 13 candidates, one from each sorority, and will be announced later in the evening.
Tomorrow "Housemother Day"
Tomorrow House Greeks have set Wednesday aside for their "indispensable members," the housemothers, who will gather at 1 p.m. in the Kansas Union for a bridge party.
Other highlights of the week are the East Hill-West Hill All-Star football game Friday afternoon in Memorial Stadium and the chariot races and Greek Week Relays Saturday, and also in the stadium.
Greeks and independents alike will share the week's finale at the SUA Spring Concert at 8 p.m. Saturday in Allen Field House.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts clear to partly cloudy skies tonight and tomorrow and colder temperatures tonight with frost or freezing temperatures. High temperatures today should be in the lower 50's, and the low tonight near 30. Precipitation probabilities tonight are 30 per cent and less than 5 per cent tomorrow.

Time: 11:20 tomorrow morning
Scene: Jayhawk Blvd., near the Chi Omega fountain, where a parade is about to begin which officially begins the Spring Fling activities, including the hour dances and exchange dinners between many of the floors, and the voting on the Spring Fling Queen through Thursday at the information booth.
Characters: Marching Band, composed of interested residence hall men and women.
- The three Spring Fling candidates, Candy Allen, Springfield, Pa., freshman; Jan Graham, Wichita sophomore; and Connie Kingry, Kinsley freshman
- George and Martha, two ducks, who are
inside small floats which each of the residence halls have made for the parade.
**Martha:** George, fix me a drink. I want a Potter-Lake-on-the-rocks.
George: I can't fix you a drink now, Martha. They're about to start the parade. Can't you see the marching band and the Spring Fling Queen candidates in those sports cars, and —
Martha: Well that's just ducky!
George: Hmmm?
Martha: George, you'll never get anywhere at this university. Why is your wife in a cage when some people are riding in sports cars?
**George:** You act like I laid an egg or something.
Martha: Very funny.
George: Besides, you're not in a cage. That's called a float, and many people have spent a lot of time —
**Martha:** Hell, I can float without it . . .

'69 carnival canceled
The Sophomore Class Carnival scheduled for Wednesday, May 3, "is being canceled."
They ruled that the state loyalty oath, which is required of all Colorado school teachers under a law passed in 1921, violates clauses of the U.S. Constitution, and is vague and indefinite. The ruling came in a suit filed against the regents by Alan C. Gallagher, a lecturer in physics at the Boulder school, who refused to take the oath.
Colorado loyalty oath struck down
DENVER—(UPI)A three-judge federal court panel Monday struck down a 46-year-old loyalty oath demanded of all Colorado school teachers. The oath was ruled unconstitutional.
THE RULING WAS HANDED down by Judges John J. Hickey of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and Hatfield Chilson and William E. Doyle of the U.S. District Court.
The Circuit Court panel directed its remarks to the University of Colorado Board of Regents, but the action apparently affected all schools in the state except the university, at Boulder.
Gallagher's suit was filed last November. In February of this year, however, the regents revised their required oath, taking out portions of the state oath to which Gallagher objected.
The university lawyer said in a hearing last week that he did not contend the state oath was valid, but asked that the case be dismissed on grounds that the point was moot at least in the case of the university.
There is no way to organize a party of this size in the time we have left, said Dave Keesling. Herrington sophomore and sophomore class vice-president.
About three weeks ago, each women's living group was asked to select a candidate for Miss Sophomore Class. The candidates were sold as slaves April 15 at a sophomore class party in the Red Dog Inn. The slaves' owners were to be their escorts to the carnival, where one of the candidates would be crowned queen.
Keesling said that because Greek Week and Spring Fling fill this week's schedule, many houses and living groups are not being organized to participate in the carnival.
"We JUST WAITED too long to get this thing going," Keesling said.
"If the escorts want their money back, I guess we'll give it to them." Keesling said.
Keesling said that he had already canceled the class' contract with the Bo Street Runners, the band scheduled to play at the carnival.
KEESLING SAID THE cancellation of the carnival would not affect "Project Concern," the class - initiated state - wide fund drive for the orphans of South Vietnam.
We have collected about $800, Keesling said, and "Project Concern" is well under way.
Rockwell also said racial strife would get "much, much worse" and that we were headed for a worldwide racial war. He said racial problems would be more important in the future than anything else.
the nazi leader has made before college audiences in Kansas this year. He spoke earlier this year at Fort Hays State College and Kansas State University.
ROCKWELL WAS scheduled to speak today at Bethel College at Newton and Wichita State University.
At Wichita, the executive board of the local branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) voted unanimously Monday night to picket Rockwell's appearance. A spokesman said about 75 to 100 members will carry signs outside the university auditorium for half an hour before Rockwell's 8 p.m. speech.
He complained that one never sees "Commies jerred and booed" on college campuses across the nation but Nazis are. Rockwell said this means Gus Hall, American Communist leader, can speak with less uproar than he can.
He said the press consistently misquotes him and he offered an interview in a national magazine as an example.
ASKED IN AN interview before his address about what he thought about Arthur J. Goldberg holding the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Rockewill said;
"I think it appropriate that a man of Goldberg beliefs be appointed because the United Nations has pro-Communist, Pro-Negro and anti-American beliefs."
HE SAID HE was interviewed by a Negro but the copy then went to a Jewish editor who rewrote it. Rockwell claimed the Jewish editor told him he would not recognize the interview when it was printed. Rockwell said he didn't.
Innovations cause Jayhawker delay
June 25 is the date set for mailing of the fourth book of the Jayhawker.
Students not attending summer school are being asked to fill out a coupon so their yearbook may be mailed to them. Books may be picked up personally in the Jayhawker Office or the News Bureau.
REASONS FOR THE DELAY in the fourth edition are varied, according to Blake Biles, Hutchinson senior, and editor of the Jayhawker. One of the main causes is that it is about 70 pages larger than in previous years.
New ideas have been tried in this year's edition. Party pictures, university life pictures and sections on Greek and independent life have also been added. New inexperienced personnel, along with fewer mistakes than in the past, made the original deadline impossible to meet.
Final touches are now being made to the third edition. It is expected to be distributed sometime before finals. "There is no doubt that the third book will be out before school ends." Biles said.
