AS THE KANSAN WOULD WRITE IT PIGS PROVE PENLESS STORM SHATTERS STRAW SHACKS Wolfe Named Instigator Miss P. R. Pig and Miss O. Z. Pig (who) last night (when) were forced to flee (what) to escape furnishing rations to T. Wolfe (why) who attacked their houses by instigating a windstorm according to the huff-puff method. It has been disclosed that the Misses Pig had, in the previous month, received many alarming threats from T. Wolfe. But they did nothing about them. Miss P. R. Pig states: We did not reinforce our straw houses since we believed them protection enough against the odious Mr. Wolfe. The windstorm, centered last night on the residences of the two pigs, was so violent that the straw domiciles were battered to the ground and completely destroyed. There were no casualities. The two Misses Pig escaped secretly through the grocery delivery entrance to theii homes, ordinarily known in popular par- lance as the trough. They found refuge in the house of a neighbor, Esquire Pig, M., whose sturdily built domicile was proof against the wind. Esq. Pig, when asked to what he attributed this success, stated : The secret of my success is brick and stones. I find that houses of this material withstand windstorms. Though they require more time and effort in building than do the houses of my more inclined- to-leisure friends, I have been willing to work hard to achieve my goal. The Misses Pig are not pressing charges against T. Wolfe. They go so far even as to say that they never want to meet Mr. Wolfe face to face again. IN THE PANTS By Rex Woods, Sp. The Pig episode last night reminds us that there ' s more than one way of keep- ing the wolf from the door. Just blow the darn thing down. Heh, heh. We hear that T. Escape-Me-Never Wolfe thinks P. R. Run-Fast Pig is just a ham anyway. Heh, heh, heh. THE SLIPSTICK SCHOOL ( Continued from page 146) rapidity if the other team is poor at guarding. That night at the banquet, the victorious teams are announced and the group having the largest score is announced as the champion. Last year the Chemicals won the coveted title. The Engineering Banquet held the night of the Field Day is quite a memorable occasion. Each of the six branches of engineering sits at its special table which is decorated with some iden- tifying symbol. The Faculty are there in number and many an engineering alum- nus is back to renew old acquaintances. All through the meal there is constant banter and heckling between groups, and there are organized yells such as Assay Ton, or Oh, you Civils Sulphide Ore, Aren ' t you nifty? Na-2-SO-4 You ' ll graduate Standard Solutions, In 1950. Frequent Dilutions, Explosions and smears The Chemical Engineers When the dinner is over, there are the usual after dinner speeches and then an address by the principal speaker of the evening who is a K. U. man who has become outstanding in the field of engineering. Another activity fostered by the engi- neers is the Engineering Exposition, held every two years. This exposition creates a great deal of interest throughout the state and is one of the best advertisements that the University receives. This exposi- tion endeavors to show what engineering is doing for the betterment of human life, and also what the University of Kansas is doing as an institution where the vari- ous branches of engineering are taught. The exposition will be held again this spring, and should be of great interest to all students and friends of the University.

Lacking issues as usual, the Pachacamacs fell to baiting the Betas and talking about past victories, while the Independent raised the usual howl against fraternity domination and talked rather vaguely of breaking (or was it busting?) the machine. Also as usual, Pachacamac won, having only to lose a position as dance manager because of proportional representation. The women continued their policy of avowed lily-white elections and at a mass nominated approximately one-fourth of the freshmen women for their allotted two offices. After the customary round of teas, the fairer sex proceeded to express their choice (ever a feminine preroga- tive) with the result that Dorothy Will- cuts and Margaret Alberty emerged vic- torious. Never let it be said that the word combine is mentioned in connection with women ' s politics, yet for the information of the politically minded, Misses Wilcuts and Alberty, residents respectively of Watkins and Corbin Hall, received 87 and 88 votes as compared to not more than 15 for any of the other candidates.

To these six neophytes fall the dubious duties attendant to the piloting of the freshman class. Their principle duty will be fulfilled when their pictures are printed upon this page. In addition, how- ever, Mr. Busick will attend the Men ' s Student Council, if and when the Secre- tary of the Council remembers to notify him, and will lend his wisdom to the deliberations of this august body, albeit he has no vote. Mr. Newlin, alas, has nothing to do in his capacity as treasurer. Messrs. Ritchie and Hildebrand will sit hopefully around until the first of December when they will be notified that the Varsity ' Dance Manager has selected the orchestra and made all necessary arrangements for the Freshman Frolic. Doubtless, however, the Kansan will append their names to the announcement of the Frolic. Misses Willcuts and Alberty are a shade more fortunate. They will enter the meetings of the W. S. G. A. and will actually be allowed to vote. Most important, however, they will be admitted free to all varsities and will thereafter be actively pursued by the campus ' more thrifty-minded students. Despite the fun which we poke at the various class offices and at the methods used in attaining them, none of us dis- pute the f act that the attainment of such offices is a distinct honor. Ridicule of the importance of these offices by no means implies the slightest ridicule of the per- sons holding these offices. To be nomi- nated and elected to such offices, the can- didates must possess the personalities and ability necessary to impress their fellows and to secure their wholehearted support. Nomination or election to such offices is (Continued on page 163)

DECEMBER, 1935 169 SOCIAL SORORITIES (Continued from page 111) antipathy for members of organized houses, she probably will have greater success, for she will not be hampered by group prejudice. There are comparatively few Greek letter women on the campus who have the courage to look beyond the confines of their group and in this non- sorority girls would be placed in a better position to , have the insight to view the campus problems as a whole.

She has the least burden of prescribed schedules, for the daily activities, the emphasized do ' s and don ' ts and the prearranged attitude toward campus problems. However, even with these limitations, the sororities are beneficial to a girl in her freshman year. It takes time to become acclimated, so to speak, in the jump between high school and college, and often many girls who would lack the initiative if required to do so by themselves, are pushed into campus organization and activities by the demands made of a pledge in an organization. It has been said of organized houses at K. U. that their co-operation in Hill activities is perhaps their most important function. Group pride spon- sors this work and their help in backing many traditions or innovations is an excellent thing. If only non-sorority women could form into one organized group, excellent work could be done through their co-operation with organ- ized houses. Living expenses are decidedly increased by joining a sorority. Some of these financial requirements are justified, but it is true that a sorority girl decidedly pays for the benefits which a sorority may offer. Many colleges, feeling that the original function of sororities is no longer necessary, have abolished or attempted to prevent sororities on their campus. While it may be that sororities will no longer be necessary, it will never be possible to prohibit the spirit of them. If the organizations as they now stand are abolished, some group will surely form to carry on the sorority ideal and purpose. The conflict and feeling between sor- ority and non-sorority girls is an unneces- sary thing, and will be forgotten as soon as each group realizes it could not func- tion without the other.

MEN (Continued from page 129 i are too few and most of them have already acquired a large hands off sign. On the whole, most girls at K. U. feel the men are too young. Perhaps this statement may be justified by the fact that while there are very few four-year girls, most boys enter as freshmen instead of attending a smaller, perhaps local, col- lege beforehand. Either we falsely pride Durselves on an abundance of sophistication or else we have heard too many times the old adage that a girl is mature much earlier than a boy. True, there is a surface worldliness that can easily be ac- quired, but this veneer does not wear. A girl greatly appreciates a boy who instinc- tively knows the proper thing to do at all times and the small courte- sies and remem- brances that are somehow so im- portant. To get down to specific points, my advance agents and myself, dur- ing this period of concentrated re- search which I have mentioned before, have care- fully prepared a list of do ' s and d o n ' ts. Scorn them or laugh at them if you will but the} 7 are intended only in a spirit of constructive criticism. As far as dress is concerned, that is more or less your own personal prob- lem that is, with a few exceptions a good way to prevent any sign of a good impression is by dressing too Esquirish. Plaid vest, ceckered trousers, polkadot tie and pin-striped coat are all very effec- tive singly, but combinations of the three are almost too much to bear at one time. Careful thought and originality are excel- lent, but don ' t let your imagination go astray. Of course a great deal could be said (Continued on page 161 i CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES 1025 Massachusetts Telephone 1051
