OH NO! NOT AGAIN
For the umpleenth time, Uncle Jimmy Green has suffered humiliation, this time only below the knees. The boats on the statue of Uncle Jimmy and his student friend in front of Green Hall were painted by vandals early Sunday morning.
"I expect some disgruntled K-State fans are responsible," James Logan, dean of the law school, said today. A student passerby saw five youths run from the direction of Green Hall about 2:30 Sunday morning. The youths, all male, were carrying paint cans and brushes, the student said.
I-Y rumor unfounded
Men not drafted if at school: Hitt
James K. Hitt, KU Registrar, said that as far as he knows, no student at KU has yet been drafted out of school.
"If, at the time he is drafted, a student can prove that his fees are paid and he is currently enrolled for the academic year," Hitt said, "he cannot, according to law, be taken directly out of school."
INSTEAD, THE STUDENT will be classified temporarily I-SC, which will permit him to complete the academic year in which he is currently enrolled. But this deferment is awarded only once, on the understanding that the student will be inducted as soon as he finishes that school year.
In reference to the increased number of enlistments among KU students, Hitt commented, "I think this is because most students can see the handwriting on the wall and want to make use of their education when they go into the service.
"I have noted this to be especially true," Hitt continued, "among seniors graduating from KU. They have been seeking admittance to either the Army, Navy, or Air Force Officer Candidate Schools."
IF A PERSON receives notice to report for draft induction, it is still possible for him to enlist in another service, providing that the induction date for his preferred service comes prior to the date of the draft induction.

Relax, I-Y's, all's safe. Tempo-
rarily, anyway.
Mrs. Edith Cordell, clerk at Local Board 18 in Lawrence, announced that previous rumors that all I-Y cases were up for immediate review were completely unfounded. Only a small section, which does not include college students, are subject to review for reclassification.
Mrs. Cordell said also that the draft examinations would be considered with high value in reviewing of II-S classifications.
"It certainly can't hurt to take the test." Mrs. Cordell said.
WHEN ASKED HOW a case would be looked upon if an eligible student chose not to take the test, she replied, "His grades had better be pretty good."
Mrs. Cordell said that the draft quota for Kansas is low this month and was low last month, mainly because all training camps are now full.
"When the training periods are over," she commented, "the number of drafts and enlistes will again be on the increase."
STUDENT (II-S) deferments are being regulated more carefully, according to Mrs. Cordell. She said that student cases are reviewed at the end of each academic year, at which time colleges and universities submit to local boards a transcript of the student's class standing.
She said also that, to remain eligible for the II-S deferment, a student must complete at least 30 hours of credit during each academic year. If he fails to do this, the school reports to the local board his failure to make sufficient progress.
Normally, a student is allowed four years to graduate, but the board will make allowances for students in a five year syllabus or for those who have suffered illness or an injury during the year.
Dean steals show
'Happiness Is' delights
By JOHN MARSHALL
Happiness is . . . a warm puppy . . . doing it in someone else's yard.
Well, that's not exactly the way the sophomore class talent show "Happiness is . . ." impressed most people Saturday night.
"The most meaningful part of the show was just the way the songs made you feel when it was over," noted Mary Plucker, Kansas City junior. "They really made you feel happy when you walked out."
"It was just fantastic," exclaimed Julie Turtle, Shawnee Mission sophomore. "I loved the housemothers, especially, and everyone I was with enjoyed the show very much."
The show began nervously before an audience of about 2,000,but it picked up right away, and the meaning of the theme covered the audience like a sweet whipped-cream topping.
There were laughs, gags, high-kicking housemothers, a dean doing a funny monologue, and some good musical entertainment.
THE BIGGEST HITS of the night were the housemothers and Dean Emily Taylor—and the sophomores threw in their own brand of talent on the side.
Ranging in musical style from Kentucky bluegrass pickin' and singin' to a moody blue light rendition of "Solitude" by the sophomore concert choir, the performances were almost professional.
And everyone on campus had been talking about one expected performance for two weeks.
Finally, there they were—radiant, laughing, singing and having a ball. Those nine campus housemothers really stole the show.
"All of us had a wonderful time," said Mrs. John McCuish, Kappa Alpha Theta, "and I loved working on the show. The biggest thrill was meeting so many wonderful people and, of course, putting it on."
IT WASN'T THE FOLLIES Bergere, but what more could you ask from those grand ole gals?
Happiness...
"... To a student, it's a Red Dog Inn,
To Pepper Rogers, it's a win, win, win,
To a coed, it's a closing key,
To Dean Taylor. it's a social tea..."
To Dean Taylor, it's a social tea DEAN TAYLOR IS A THIEF. She stole the show.

Greeks meet 45 in IFC rush
Twenty-four fraternities welcomed 45 freshmen during the on-campus rush program Saturday and Sunday.
Pete Woodsmall, Shawnee Mission sophomore, Phi Delta Theta, said the response was considered better than expected. He is chairman of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) on-campus rush committee. Last year there were considerably fewer going through on-campus rush.
During fall registration, all 900 freshman men received letters from the hush committee. A dinner was held December 7 for men who then thought they were interested in open rush. Seventy-five attended this dinner.
"WE ARE VERY happy with the caliber of men going through rush," Woodsmail said. "Most have fairly outstanding records."
Of the drop in responses from the December dinner he said, "I think many of them were afraid
of the grade requirements. One freshman said he wasn't going through rush because of his grades. He had a 1.6."
Beginning at 8:30 Saturday morning, the rushees followed the regular formal rush schedule—an hour was spent at each of nine houses. The rushees selected six of their scheduled fraternity visits, and the rush committee the other three.
"Saturday was used to introduce the men to the fraternities and the fraternities to the men." Woodsmall explained.
SUNDAY, FRATERNITIES had the option to invite back whom they wanted to pledge or for further rushing.
This method is designed to give the smaller fraternities an opportunity to meet more rushees, Woodsmall explained.
"Most kids, especially ones
