Derby Day Set for Saturday
A new event this year, the hat grab, will be held on Friday. Sigma Chis will wear derbies to class on Friday and the organization able to collect the most derbies will score nine points. Second places are six points and third places, three points in all events.
Sigma Chi's have laid safety razors and electric shavers aside for a beard growing contest to publicize the event. The Sig with the densest bush receives a mystery prize.

Odd Vehicles Add Color to Election
By Mike Miller
Election time brings strange sights to the campus. Among the more unusual things this year were a hayrack, jeeps and a Continental Trailways bus.
These vehicles, along with the more conventional car pools, were employed by campus politics to
transport students to class and, they hope, to the election polls.
THE HAYRACK was put in use by Neil Jouvenat, Columbus, Neb. freshman and candidate for the presidency of the sophomore class. The rack, pulled by a small tractor, transported women from the freshman dormitories several minutes before each hour.
The jeeps were covered with "Jerry Dickson for Student Body President" signs.
The bus, donated by a friend of Dickson and driven by a real-life bus driver, carried the banners of Dickson and Vox Populi.
MIKE HARRIS, SHAWNEE Mission junior and executive vice president of Vox, walked slowly around the bus inspecting it and pondered, "there isn't anything in the elections rules about buses, is there?"
Harris then added, "maybe this is the Vox machine that we've been accused of having."
What makes Lucky Strike the favorite regular cigarette of college smokers? Fine-tobacco taste. The taste of a Lucky is great to start with, and it spoils you for other cigarettes. That's why Lucky smokers stay Lucky smokers. So, get the taste you'll want to stay with. Get Lucky today.
