Greeks add new festivities to week
Highlighting the activities of Greek Week from April 24 to 29 will be an increased participation by KU sororities and new activities that have not been included in past years.
Exchange dinners between fraternities and sororites will begin Greek Week activities Monday.
THE GREEK WEEK Banquet will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. Guest speaker will be Stanley Learned, chairman of the Council for Progress, president of Phillips Petroleum Co., and member of Phi Delta Theta.
At the banquet, awards will be given to the fraternity which has improved most in the past two semesters, the house with the highest G.P.A. for the last two semesters and the pledge class with the highest grades.
The three Greek Week Queen finalists will be announced, and the queen will be elected at the banquet.
Another phase of the Greek Week activities will be the collection of money from each Greek house for a donation of $500 to the Ballard Center for underprivileged children in Lawrence. This check will be presented at the banquet.
THURSDAY WILL feature the Housemothers' Bridge Party at 1 p.m. in the Kansan Union.
Fraternities from east campus will clash with the men of west campus in the annual East-West football game at 3:30 Friday afternoon. West campus fraternities will be defending their championship from last year at the stadium. A Most Valuable Player award will be announced.
The game will be held in the stadium, unless bad weather forces a move to the intramural fields. No admission will be charged.
East campus fraternities will be the defending champions at the Tug-of-War over—and eventually in-Potter Lake following the football game.
A tug-of-war for the sororites will follow the men's battle.
THE GREEK WEEK SING will be a competitive activity at 8 Friday night with judging in the three groups of men's, women's, and mixed singing groups. The M.C.'s for the occasion will be Bev Gibbs, Kansas City sophomore, and Drew Anderson, Plainville sophomore.
Saturday morning at 9:30 the newly initiated phase of Greek Week, the Leadership Seminar, will begin. This seminar, whose purpose is to discuss many of the aspects of fraternity life and its relationship to the university and the individual, will be composed of the president and three other representatives of each fraternity.
The colorful chariot race will be held in the football stadium at 12:30.
During the afternoon, the sororites will take to the field with a potato sack race and a three-legged race.
Anthropology meeting
Approximately 30 KU anthropology and archaeology students will journey inside the walls of the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Saturday, for the annual meeting of the Kansas Anthropological Association.
Prison chapter is host
Frenchmen talk of home
Three KU French students gave talks on their home regions at a French Club meeting yesterday.
The speakers sought to inform students attending the summer French Institute this year about some of the characteristics of the different regions.
Olivier du Sel, a direct exchange student from Clermont-Ferrand University, spoke about the region of Auvergne. Marguerirte Tariel, graduate student, described Touraraine, "the garden of France," and Eric Leloyour, graduate student from Arenne, spoke on La Bretagne.
The speakers told the club of places of interest, such as scenic areas and recommended restaurants. Volcanic curiosities and wine and cheese varieties were discussed.
The French club has scheduled a reading of Andre Prevert's poetry on April 24 in the basement of the art museum.
The showing of a play by Moiliere is planned for May 12.
The meeting will be hosted by inmate members of the four-year old Bill Bass Chapter of the association. The chapter is named for William Bass, associate proferror of physical anthropology, who has taught anthropology inside the prison.
Classes started after a group of inmates showed interest in the subject and asked KU for professional help. The classes continued until Bass took a sabbatical leave this year. He is currently working with the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
ABOUT 200 STATE members will attend. They will be given a short tour of the prison, to be followed by lunch in the dining room.
According to Dennis Yaple, Lawrence sophomore and a member of the KU delegation, the association "is a group of amateurs interested in historic and prehistoric Indians in Kansas."
Historical evidence dates Indians from the time of the white man's arrival. Records were kept during this time.
THE PREHISTORIC phase chronicles Indian history before the arrival of the white man. Since the Indians left no written records, the only information known about this period is what anthropologists have discovered from sites of ancient Indian settlements.
The meeting, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be highlighted by a speech by Walter R. Wedel, anthropologist for the Smithsonian Institute. His topic will be archaeology of the central plains.
Without the work of anthropologists, little would be known about the early culture of the Central Plains. The Kansas Anthropological Association attempts to take various findings from this region and organize them into historical perspective.
YOU CAN STILL FLY TO EUROPE! Even though you are going to summer school, you can still visit Europe this summer on SUA's one-month summer flight. Or, if lack of money is your problem, you can work for two months and make more than the low $305 it takes to fly you from New York to London. The flight leaves August 8 and returns September 7. Stop by the SUA office today and find out how to spend this summer in Europe.
According to Yaple, "without the interest of the association, and their knowledge of Kansas prehistory, those of us who attempt to make a sensible story of what went on here would be severely handicapped."
