Have Cake, Will Pedal
If you see a blond boy riding on a blue motorcycle with what looks like a cake box on the back of it, don't panic. It will probably just be Karl Zetmeir spreading birthday cheer to some lucky student.

sells.
Zetmeir got the idea for the club from Kansas State and Harvard Universities. He said it is not really a club at all but is an easy way for parents to insure delivery of a fresh, undamaged cake to their son or daughter.
ZETMEIR'S ENTERPRISE consists of finding out the birthdays of students and then sending direct mail pieces to their parents so they may order a birthday cake for their son or daughter. The cake, obtained from a private bakery in Lawrence, is delivered by Zetmeir on the student's birthday.
the school year. Since last spring Zetmeir, with an initial investment of his own money, has been running a business that is of service to parents of KU students and of pleasure to the students.
Vance Packard To Speak Here
IN ADDITION TO the mailing list he already has, Zetmeir is planning to expand the club to include
Vance Packard, author of four successful literary ventures which assail the weaknesses and subtly camoufaged evils in our social and economic underground, will speak here on March 11.
In running the business Zetmeir says he is selling a service to parents that they would not normally be able to get. Parents living some distance from Lawrence would not have an opportunity to send a cake if it were not for the service he sells.
here on March 14. Packard, whose 1957 best seller, "The Hidden Persuaders," was translated into nine languages, with nearly a million copies now in print, is being sponsored to KU by the Student Union Activities and the All Student Council.
PACKARD WILL SPEAK on "What's Happening to the American Character?" at 8:00 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
Packard is a native of Pennsylvania and has been an author, writer and teacher since he received his master's degree from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism more than twenty years ago.
Packard spent five years as a newspaperman in Boston and New York, after which he switched to writing magazine articles and books.
PACKARD IS THE author of "The Hidden Persuaders," "The Status Seekers," "The Waste Makers" and "The Pyramid Climbers." His first three books all reached number one on best-seller lists. He is the only author in recent years to have three books in a row reach the top rung in the non-fiction field.
For "The Hidden Persuaders," he drew on more than 1500 sources and read more than three million words on motivational research. For "The Status Seekers," he traveled in 15 states and eight foreign countries and brought together the findings of more than 150 sociologists. For "The Pyramid Climbers," he filled 167 notebooks while gathering material over a period of four years.
Pamphlet Distribution Suppression May End
Handbills as a means of expressing a student organization's point of view may soon return to the University of Kansas campus.
The University Senate Tuesday approved in principle the right of student organizations to publicize their views by on-campus distribution of handbills and leaflets.
The Senate Advisory committee and administrative officials were charged with working out regulations that would prevent the privilege from creating a burdensome litter problem. It was the litter problem that had previously caused the ban.

cake deliveries from one student to another. This would mean that a student would be able to call the club and order a cake for a roommate or friend and have it delivered the same day—"at a saving," he says.
Zetmeir, who is majoring in business, has a number of other outside interests and jobs. He says that as long as he is making money, he seems to have a knack for seeing the possibilities of providing a needed service to people.

Staggering Report
In addition to releasing this staggering figure, the Old Smuggler researchers took the occasion to scotch a popular belief—that color indicates the lightness of a Scotch. The true test of lightness is the bouquet and flavor, they said.
