is Q M a Y'I FROSH cmd fronks of The Joyhowk Nibble. THE WAITING wclfermelons. Watermelon Feed Watermelon, cold, one and one fourth tons thereof. New students, hun- gry, 1,500 strong. It started that way, and ended with 1,500 satiated new stu- dents and one lonely watermelon for which no one had the capacity or the appetite. It was the annual K.U.-Y. Watermelon Feed. Held above, around, and sometimes in Potter Lake, the feed was supposed to be a mixer for new stu- dents. It was a mixer, all right. It mixed watermelon with grass, watermelon with the lake, watermelon with clothes, and occasionally, watermelon with peo- ple. Not all was messy, though. The dancing up the hill from the lake pro- vided those who could not stand still for one reason or another and those with excess energy an opportunity to move around. Except for those instances when the watermelon went outside instead of inside, the evening went smoothly.

THE BOARD S not set up right but let s ploy onywoy. Speaking Figuratively . . Speaking figuratively, K.U. is great. There are 10,036 students, 656 authorized faculty members. This means l teacher for every 14 students. lmpressed? lf not Land figures fascinate youj, read on. There are 6,334 male students, 2,991 female stu- dents. This means l girl for every 2 boys. This ratio gives us no particular ranking in the confer- ence-but the girls like it. Logically, it would seem that this inequality of numbers would discourage the male contingency, yet the Engineering School is still doing its part to attract aspiring mechanics, chemists and Business School candidates. So the cycle ran undisturbed for years, until this year's freshman class ruined what seemed to be a perpetual boon to wornankind. For this class has 1,433 men and 943 women, or about l V2 boys per girl. If this trend continues that tradition of 2 boys for every girl is destined to fade, especially since V3 a boy is of no value to a woman. But till then, keep this in mind, girls-only l 15 all' months left of this Leap Year. 12
