22 THE JAYHAWKER The Id es of the King PARTE, THE FIRSTE Forsooth, gadzooks, and a barrel of 3.2 on a dead man ' s breast! cried Sir Arthur as he leaped into the saddle of his snorting war horse, Homer. Homer grunted. Why art thou leaving like a bat out of Western Kansas? queried Arthur ' s aged mother. I must! shouted Arty as he sped down the highway, fully keeping in his own lane, I am off for yon wildes of Oread Mounte where lies my quest—the Grail of Ale, and my Lady Hortense who has been kidnapped by a wild mountain band of Greeks. Tis for these myriad reasons, fond mother, that I ride forth unto yon forest, dense. Dense, screamed his mother, I ' d luff to! Whereupon Arthur struck his mother a stunning blow and rode off at full tilt. Homer disliked being ridden at tilt, and demanded another nickle. 4 e-Itinci-lite-dzeote.1 4cauta4 el Me Ptah Itleeh 14dt .4 PARTE, THE SECONDE For two days and two nights did Sir Arthur follow the highway which led to the city, Lawrence on the Kaw, home of sorcerers, wizards, and a place of strange doings. Coming in at eventide, he rode to a nearby Inn, a large place, owned by a Frenchman, and called, Jahnees . Ho, Innkeeper, exclaimed Arthur, a room for a traveller! Nay, sire, plied the Innkeeper, all my rooms are taken. Hast not thou heard? The town has been taken over by nomadic tribes of barbarian Greeks, bearing strange names like Sigma Nu, Phi Psi, and Beta. Tis not safe to walk the cobbled streets at night. Dullard! screamed Arthur, and striking the man a stunning blow, he goaded Homer out into the gathering fog. Homer bounded into the street on little cat feet, sat for a while on silent haunches and then they moved off together. Arthur had but ridden a few paces when from a dark doorway, eight masked figures loomed forth in front of him. Applying the emergency brake. Homer screeched to a halt. No sooner had Arthur stopped than a figure leaped out at him. One man quickly took his blood pressure, another felt his pulse, a third examined his family tree, while a fourth quickly gave him an I. Q. test. What is thy name , cried one of the men, drawing forth a scroll marked, THE D.U ' s DISCUSS WORLD EVENTS WITH RUSHEE.

FALL NUMBER, 1 9 4 7 23 MEMBERSHIP IN FRATERNITIES IS BY INVITATION ' —Pre-Rush Week Manual Rush List. Arthur. Uther, rejoined Arthur. The group withdrew suddenly and went into a small huddle. Then one of their members called signals and they issued forth out of the huddle reciting in unison, Join our bande, it ' s ye beste in ye lande. Whereupon the leader approached Arthur and affixed upon his shield, a strange device. Another of the group approached Arthur, grasped his hand and quickly unhorsed him with a Judo hold. That ' s our grip, he apologized, Now you ' re a member of Alpha Rolda Dice. Congratulations! Arthur was sore confused. PARTE, THE THIRDE Lady Hortense stirred uneasily about in her cell. She tried desperately to unloosen the shackles which bound her feet, but finding herself unsuccessful, she slumped back into a corner. Searching for some- thing to occupy her time, she fumbled about in the pockets of her robe. She drew out a small pamphlet which had been handed to her at the time of her captivity. It was titled, Instructions to Coeds during Sorority rushing. She read it avidly. Remember above all else that your college career does not depend on being in a sorority— some of the most popular women on the K. U. Campus are not. In fact, some of the most popu- lar women on the K. U. Campus are not at K. U. She started to read further but was interrupted by a scuffling noise outside the door. The massive oak portal creaked slowly open, and two glistening Nubians stepped inside. Their muscles rippled in the yellow flames of the burning pine knots they carried. They stood motionlessly for a moment, their eyes gleaming like red coals in the semi-darkness. Soon a clanking noise sounded down the hallway, and a tall figure, robed in black, entered the room. His face was masked and his head was topped by a black pointed hood. In his hand he carried a spiked mace, and a vicious iron boot. Hortense gazed at him for a brief moment with ever-widening pupils. Then, hesitantly, she spoke, Okay . . . I ' ll pledge. PARTE, THE FOURTHE Arthur carefully tethered Homer in the corner of the room, and then unloaded his equipment. Thoughts of his quest for Hortense and the Grail were far away. Even the thoughts of jolly England, which used to cluster in his head, were far away, for now . . he was a Greek! And Homer . . . Homer was now a Greek horse. Homer grunted, and shifted his weight under the heavy load of red
