TW A portable radio is presented to Flush Bowl queen Dianne Archibald, ot Chi Omega, by President James A. McCain. Football games weren ' t confined to the stadium .... they found their way into the City Park .... in the form of the annual Sigma Alpha Epsilon versus Phi Delta Theta grid battle. A parade, complete with all the trimmings, was staged before the game and prizes were awarded the winning floats. Although the game was rather one- sided, the Sig Alphs winning it 63-0, the crowd cheered every play. The Kansas State High School Activities associa- tion sponsored a regional conference which brought high school journalists to the campus. They were shown through the journalism department and at- tended newspaper and yearbook discussions. High school journalists arrive early and enroll in Kedzie for the annual tour of K-State and the journalism department. 4...m The top scholarship award for sororities during the 1953-54 year goes to Alpha Delta Pi at the fall Panhellenic tea. Lost-minute hammerings and gentle pats complete the decora- tions on this float just before the Flush Bowl parade begins. 27

On the receiving end of the gripe assembly, planned by the Student Council to air student problems, are these S.C. members. The something new in the Hne of assemblies for 1954-5 5 was a gripe session sponsored by the Student Council. It seemed that everywhere everyone turned, some- one else complained about something that bothered them, too. So the assembly was scheduled and every- one who had a little problem bothering them, was in- vited to come. A roving microphone taken through the audience helps stu- dents bring up campus issues that disturb them for discussion. Class breaks offer relaxation .... cigarettes .... friendly chats on class and extra-class activities .... and maybe a few extra winks on the side .... to instructors and students alike. The break here is between classes in the woodworking department. rvj ' T ' • ' li Ha-
