WEBBER, Assistant Cashier Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Aszefwtatztw This year has been a record year at Pittsburg State College in many ways. Enrollment was the largest ever and was still increasing, new buildings were being constructed, and students were displaying new enthusiasm in their educa- tional endeavors. One word probably sums up the situation better than many pages and that word is progression, Yes, progression in nearly all departments was noted. We saw these things coming, in tact they were already here last summer when we began planning the 1948 Kanza. It was then that We decided that something about the Kanza had to be changed too. If something wasn't done, it would become a relic in a modern setting. I t was then that We decided that instead of one book, we would publish two. We had a pair of reasons for believing this would be better: flj Material would be more newsworthy, and C2j More freedom in style would permit us to escape the stereotyped patterns of traditional yearbooks. You'll notice that the book has a larger amount of written material than other books in the past have had. We hope that the copy is so interestingly written that you'll find it not the least bit boring. Here then, is the first installment of a new-style, 1948 Kanza. Hope you enjoy it . . . -WAS.

In attendance were 83 participants, 15 leaders, numerous special lecturers and visitors from many parts of the world. The participants represented every level of education. There were elementary, secondary and college teachers, public school and college admin- istrators, and officials from the State and National Departments of Education. Six came from the United States, seven from China, five from the British Isles, four from Australia, and three from South Africa, in all, thirty-one nations were rep- resented. The delegates generally were appointed by the State Departments upon recommendation of the educational agencies whom they represented. Attending the conference from the United States were: Virginia Kinnaird, a teacher in the Central High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana, re- cently appointed to the Staff of the National Edu- cation Associationg Lewis Latane, head of the French Department at Polytechnic Institution, Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Raymond F. McCoy, Dean of the Graduate School at Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio, Mason A. Stratton, County Superintendent of Schools, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Dr. Idabelle Yeiser, on leave from Dillard University at New Orleans, and Rees H. Hughes, President, Kansas State Teachers College, Pitts- burg, Kansas. Dr. Howard E. Wilson, formerly a member of the faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and since 1945 Associate Director of the Division of Education, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, was the conference leader. Dr. Wilson was ably assisted by a staff of fourteen, all leaders in their particular fields, and widely representative of the UNESCO member nations. Special lecturers, many of whom were nationally and internationally known, spent from one period to several days in the conference. Visitors came from many parts of the world. Most noted among them, perhaps, was Leon Blum, former president of France, Dr. julian Huxley, Director General, Dr. Walter H. Lavis, Deputy Director General, and many others came from UNESCO Headquarters. The United States dele- gation was particularly glad to welcome Glenn E. Snow, newly elected president of our own National Education Association. The UNESCO seminar was conducted in the Lycee de Sevres, which in 1945 was established by the French Ministry as an educational center for French and foreign teachers. The large build- ing comprises more than 100 rooms for living quarters, and others for dining, science, lectures, library and study. During the winter months, it is used as a progressive school for girls. The build- ing is old, historic in background, commodious, has been recently redecorated inside, and is well kept. A member of the seminar well said that perhaps in all Paris there could not be found a more satis- factory place in which to hold the seminar. The plan of having people of like professional interests living together in such a setting for six weeks provided an excellent opportunity for the delegates to learn the value of acquaintance as a factor in international understanding. The seminar was an experience in international relations. Education for International Under- standing was designated as the theme. In the preliminary announcement, it was stated, The UNESCO Seminar Workshop is being held in order to stimulate thinking and planning by key educators in different countries on ways of foster- ing international understanding among pupils, under the leadership of competent authorities in various phases of international relations and edu- cation for international understanding. These edu- cators will have an opportunity to explore together some of the basic problems of international life today, which must be taken into account in any realistic teaching on world affairs. They will also be able to discuss and compare methods and materials in developing internationally minded pupils. The seminar will include lectures, discus- sions, individual and group projects, films, trips, and informal conversations and contacts, as means fPlease turn to page 86D Page 6 Q gr' A W WM .,,,,,...,,..W.,.,,,W..- 5 5 y. aw New 2 y 32 E 55 is as REES H. HUGHES, distinguished president of Pittsburg State College, has been active in the work of the United Nations Educational, Social, and Cultural Organization almost since its inception. Mr. Hughes attended an international seminar on education under the auspices of UNESCO held in Paris last sum- mer. His most recent recognition was his selection to the board of directors at a meeting held in Wichita in December. alla ' HOMECOMING, the most spectacular event in the history of the institution, was celebrated October 10 and 11 by thousands who had been making preparations for months to visit their alma mater. After a busy day of climbing ladders, hammer- ing nails, painting signs, Gorillas and Tigers for house decorations, hundreds viewed coconut trees, an African forest and the Gorillas sweeping up Hays in a movie. Everyone chose the house they thought was best but the judges made the final decision by choosing Gum 'em up and lick 'em, Theta Sigma Upsilon's house for first prize and next best was Sigma Sigma Sigma's, Hold that line. The Sigma Tau Gammas conglomeration of beauty won first among the men houses and Phi Sigma Epsi1on's Gorilla whipping a realistic Tiger was the judges second choice. Students and alumni swarmed science hall to see the stunt show. An hour or two later everyone went to the street dance on Cleveland where the school pep band furnished the jive music. Up early for a big day, old man weather, like everyone else, in a bright good humor, to see Milton Zacharias, alumni president, lead the largest parade of floats, clowns, 14 bands and drum corps, and streamlined convertibles carrying beauty queens. When noon rolled around more old pals met and talked over a box lunch in the second annual feast of the oval with a carnival atmosphere of balloons, popcorn, hot dogs, and various bands furnishing music. About game time 7,000 swarmed the stadium to witness the Gorillas outplay the Tigers to a 0-0 tie. KSEK's sports announcer was there to broadcast the game. Preceding the game and during the half, sharp stepping majors and pranc- ing majorettes led 700 musicians on Brandenburg field for a performance. During the half everyone anxiously waits to see Milton Zacharias crown the most popular girl on the campus, Miss Vi Hall, Sigma Sigma Sigma beauty queen reigning as the homecoming queen and runners up were Alpha Sigma Alphas Shirley King and Muriel Warner, Phi Sigma Epsilon beauty queen. After the game tired players trotted from the field and the stadium was being emptied and the Greek houses filled for teas and open houses, and some to Greek dinners. The two-day celebration came to an end with the big social event of the year, the homecoming dance, under soft lights were dancing silks, smiles and greeting to old alumni who hadn't been met during the day. The next morning students and homecomers sleep, a wilted mum, tired feet, late sleepers waken, HI had a wonderful time!,', departures . . . the BEST EVER, this was HOMECOMING, 1947. -Orlanda Manci.

S Board of Regents . . . Supreme governing body for the Kansas State Schools is the Board of Regents. The board, ap- pointed by the governor, is composed of promi- nent Kansas citizens. Members serve for a term of four years. The group holds monthly meetings in Topeka or in one of the state colleges. To them is given the power to approve faculty changes and new buildings, and determine the policies of the state educational institutions. Members of the 1948 board are Hubert Brigh- ton, Willis N. Kelly, Drew McLaughlin, Grover Poole, L. B. Spake, Oscar S. Stauffer, Fred M. Harris, Elizabeth Stephens Haughey, Lester Mc- Coy and Jerry E. Driscoll. The 1948 chairman of the board is Mr. Mc- Laughlin. He was chosen at the January meeting of the group. He replaces Mr. Kelly, 1947 chairman. Hubert Brighton continues to serve as the group's secretary during 1948. Administrative Functions . . . To give the students a better understanding of the functions of the Board of Regents, the Kanza has decided to make use of an issue now being brought up on the campus. We refer to the proposed changing of the name of the institution to Pittsburg State College. At a banquet for presidents of organizations QSee page 382 students approached President Hughes on the possibility of changing the name. They listed among their reasons the following: C11 Teacher education has become only a small part of the many functions of the school, CZD A degree from a teachers', college is a hardship to students not interested in teaching, Q35 The name, Teachers College, keeps many prospective stu- , dents from entering the school as they do not realize the many other fields offered, and f4j Many other institutions have ex- perienced similar difficulties with unappro- priate names and have changed their names accordingly. Council Takes Action . . . Shortly after the meeting, student council President John Westfall took prompt action in the student governing body. A circulation of petitions was begun among all the various interested groups. One group of petitions was sent to the presidents of the more than sixty campus organizations. They were asked to signify In photo at left is the Governor of the State of Kansas, Frank Carlson. Gov- ernor Carlson has shown a deep interest in the problems and development of all state schools. Mr. Carlson's most recent visit to the ,campus was on Homecoming day. Page 10 Standing: H ll b e rt Brighton, Vllillis N. Kelly, Drew McLaugh- lin., Grover Poole, L. B. Spoke, and Oscar S. Stauffe-r.

Hoover, who is not in the pic- ture, is now secretary to Mr. Brighton in- stead of Miss Reed. their members opinions pertaining to the new pro- posed name change. It was pointed out that no- body was trying to force anyone into signing peti- tions for the name change. Only the opinions of the members of the organization were desired. The officers and sponsors of the group were then asked to sign the papers and return them to the student council. Student Opinions . . . Another petition was distributed among the student body at large. While most believed that the opinions of the organizations would be a good indication of the trend of student beliefs, the council wanted to make certain that everyone was in favor of the change. Realizing also that another very important group should be consulted before recommenda- tions of any change of name of the institution, the council began the distribution of petitions among the former students of Kansas State Teachers Col- lege. The alumni associations were given copies of petitions to signify their desires on the proposed changes. It was felt also that inasmuch as the city of Pittsburg has long played an active part in en- couragement and help on all school activities, the council indicated that the opinions of civic organ- izations would be sought. Cooperating in the program was the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. Petitions were sent to that Page 11 group to find out the opinions of the leading merchants of the city. There was no difficulty in filling the petitions with names of the eager signers. The completed forms were then handed to President Rees H. Hughes with the suggestion that the matter be taken up with the State Board of Regents. VVhen he deems it appropriate, President Hughes will take up the matter with the Board of Regents. He will at that time make the necessary recommendations. Legislature Action Necessary . . . If the Board of Regents puts its stamp of approval on the change, the action will then be transferred to the state legislature. Undoubtedly, there will be debate on the resolution in that body. If the lawmakers approve the bill, it will then be sent to Governor Frank Carlson for his signature. Prompt Action . . . Student response to the proposed change left no doubt in anyone's mind that the students were almost unanimously in favor of it. Something else that should be noted is the splendid cooperation of both student and faculty members in circulat- ing and signing the petitions in such a short period of time. This is merely another chapter in the progress of KSTC written by administration and student body through mutual understanding and cooperation. 72a 5 Paezwf . . . Dignified and friendly'-those two words are the adjectives used by most persons to describe Rees H. Hughes, president of K.S.T.C. Prexy, as he is often called by students, seems to promote the feeling of friendship among all the students and faculty on the campus. He never fails to have a friendly greeting for everyone. Yet one is not surprised to note the business- like manner in which President Hughes conducts all his affairs. It is a manner which has won for him the respect and admiration of all who know him. ' President Hughes' outstanding abilities have long been recognized throughout this area, and last summer he gained international recognition as an educator of high standing when he attended the seminar on world education held in Paris under the auspices of UNESCO. Everyone agrees that there could be no better man for the task of guiding the activities of such an expanding institution as KSTC than Rees H. Hughes--Louisa WEISER Well, hello there! What can I do for you, today? College students who have come into Dean Murphy's Office at any time will recognize this friendly welcome which always greets them. Dean Murphy is the director of all student activities on the campus who helps various organizations find suitable times and places for their meetings. Before assuming his present position, Dean Murphy was the head of the Psychology Depart- ment. He is a member of Psi Chi, national hon- orary psychology fraternity, and takes an active part in all organizations dealing with psychology. Aside from his school duties and other responsi- bilities as chairman of various educational and welfare organizations, Dean Murphy has a great interest in detective stories. If any student has any problems or troubles, just drop into Dean Murphy's office, and he will offer a helping hand.-DELORES KENNETT. M 7LZ... Pull up your chair before the fire and make yourself comfortable, is a typical friendly greeting often heard at the inner office door of 208 Russ Hall, where no faculty or student problem is too small to be heard calmly and dealt with justly. Dean Ernest Mahan resides there daily from about eight-thirty until after five o'clock helping students plan a program to a desired goal, en- couraging and communicating inspiration, and working with faculty to make sure that the cur- riculum offerings of the College are foremost in the education world. Dean Mahan came to the College in 1930 as a member of the social science staff, became head of that department in 1939, and in 1945 assumed the duties of Dean of Instruction also. A scholastic mind that keeps abreast of the times, a love of beauty in nature and literature, a kindly sense of humor, honesty and fairness with all people and an appreciation of excellence in them which rarely passes without verbal recogni- tion, create a waiting line in his office most of the time.-FRANCES HASHBARGER. Know J. U. Massey? Sure! Everybody around K.S.T.C. knows Mr. Massey. If someone doesn't know where to find the Registrar's office, just say, Mr. Massey's office, and they know where to go. He is Director of Admissions and checks the cre- dentials of all who come to K.S.T.C., tells the students the requirements for any desired creden- tial, and then checks again to see that they are fulfilled. Those records and records in the Registrar's office would indicate an endless task, but Mr. Massey finds time to hobbyize in flowers-roses in particular, color photography, and stamp collect- ing. Throughout the spring and summer you'll find his flower specimens in the office. Mr. Massey came to the College in 1929 as a member of the Commerce and Business Admin- istration Department, and in 1942 assumed his present position. He is a loyal color-bearer for Page 12 K.S.T.C., and all his office force consider it a privilege to work for him.-MARGARET HERYFORD. flaaaame . . Miss Belle Provorse, a member of the admin- istrative department since 1916, guards the col- lege finances and sees that moneys and records move into place as accurately and justly as does the mechanism of a machine. To her office helpers the job of Financial Secretary is an endless one with a multitude of responsibilities, but to her it is fascinating and tireless. Her loyalty to the Col- lege and her long record of competency and de- votion to its financial mechanism have made her an integral part of K.S.T.C. Appreciation of her true worth is evidenced by the many Old Gradsl' who frequent her office when on the campus and enjoy talking with her about Hold times. There is no hestitancy on Miss Provorsels part in assuming a position for the right and retaining it until the problem in question is settled in a most satisfactory manner. The office force feels it a privilege to work under the supervision of one so competent, knowing they are being guided in every phase of their work by one who is efficient, patient and understanding.-KAY ZELLMER Shad.. When in doubt, Call Mr. Short. This might well be the slogan for all students and faculty members of Kansas State Teachers College. Mr. C. F. Short is the superintendent of buildings and grounds. His duties include general supervision over heating and upkeep of buildings. In the summer the landscaping of the campus and keeping the campus beautiful are part of his duties. Friendly and helpful, Mr. Short is well-known to both students and faculty members alike. He frequently helps student dance committees set up facilities for all school parties. He also gives as- sistance on plays and other stage presentations. Monday morning means conference time at Prexy's office. From left to right are Dean of Administration Paul Murphy, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Frank Short, Dean of Instruction Ernest Mahan, Registrar II. U. Massey, Financial Secretary Belle Provorse, and President Rees H. Hughes. I . Page 13 7ke flfem Simfenl W A student union building has long been a decided necessity for any college. A place to relax, to talk over problems with faculty members, to have fun, or just a chance to get away from the enternal loafing in the College Inn is what students and faculty members have been planning for Pitt State College for years. With students paying a total of 513.00 a year and faculty members willingly giving up 10W of a year's salary, and occasional donations floating in from alumni, the necessary funds for the erection of the long awaited union building are just over the horizon. Building could begin immediately but with the high costs of construction at the present it looks as if students and faculty will have to wait some time for their recreation building. Planning Committee The Student Union Planning Committee, a student-faculty group for the express purpose that their title indicates, has been having regular month- ly meetings to prepare a working plan for the college union. They have conducted correspond- ence with many other colleges and universities which have union buildings, in an effort to find how things are run and what facilities they contain. In this way when appropriations are made and the building is completed, there will be no trouble about what was left out or who's going to run the place and why can't I play ping pong after the building is closed for the evening. Costs Now since our student union building ffor simplicity in this article from now on I will refer to the Student building as the SUB. Think you can follow me on thatj cannot be erected for a few measly thousand, we are going to have to wait until we can collect a paltry fifty or sixty grand so we can then borrow the magnificent sum of around S400,000, which won't be quite enough to build the SUB but will give a good start. And then later on when we mortgage the College to pay for the principal of the debt we can start collecting to put a roof on our SUB. Because it will be some time before the per- manent SUB can be completed or even started for that matter, the SUB committee is making plans for some temporary substitute. A fresh air fiend on the committee suggested a roof garden on top of Russ hall but his idea was stifled. Another member being irate at the English instructors for 'D' cards had the plan of turning over the English department's quarters into a student lounge. This committee-man was haunted for several weeks by the ghosts of Shakespeare, Milton and was also soundly thrashed by Doctor Strawn and has with- drawn his suggestion. Another Idea Still another idea was to take over Music Hall as a recreation center, the suggester in this case holding the theory that many have that music students are worthless and not deserving of such a fine building. After being beat thoroughly over the head with a tuba, his plan was vetoed. After much bickering in which the faculty suffered several casualties, a working plan was set up, I'm not kidding now. fClay DeFord swears this is truej In this plan which should be taking place as we go to press four trousers are sadly wrinkledj the cafeteria annex, and room 110, Russ Hall, will be fitted with furniture, game tables and other necessities of a SUB. I'll see all you lounge lizards there for a fast and athletic game of checkers. This plan is slated to go into effect very soon. Unselfish Simion Perhaps while reading this article you might be interested in knowing what will be in the SUB fdon't forget SUB stands for Student Union Build- ingj. If you are, just wait till the building is con- structed and see for yourself. It won't do you much good, of course, because you'll be too old to enjoy it, but still your grand children will be able to describe it to you if your eyes are growing misty with age. I might just as well let you in on the know. There's no use in my being selfish about this. Is there? Page 14 By JACK SIMION Dance Halls There will be rooms for social purposes. These will include dance halls, lounges, smoking rooms, and game rooms. Sections used for cultural and artistic purposes, which will include art exhibit rooms, record rooms Cphonograph records that isj and a broadcasting studio. Rooms used for inspirational purposes will include a chapel and meditation room. There will also be rooms for food service. Of necessity these will be comprised of dining room, cafeteria, kitchenette, soda bar, and banquet room. Meeting places and offices will consist of meet- ing places and offices. And there will be rooms for maintenance and operation of the building which will include ele- vators, storage rooms, and employee's shower rooms. The SUB committee also urges me to add that there will be rest rooms for both men and women. As Soon As.. . And so we see that soon as there is sufficient funds fsome fund eh kidj, a place to build, lower costs of building materials, and our grandsons attending the College, there will be a SUB. But don't get worried about it. There will be a tem- porary student lounge in several of the buildings on the campus very soon, the SUB committee keeps telling me as they point a .45 at my head. Dedication From a remote portion of the office in which I am working a faint cry arose as to whom shall the SUB be dedicated fthe reason the cry was faint was because the interrogator had just faintedj. Now I have many ideas as to what person or what lofty sentiment our non-existent building will be dedicated, and I shall expound this dearth of ideas in the following paragraphs. The logical group that the building should be dedicated to is of course the student body. The teeming millions who have passed through the Page 15 hallowed halls of Pittsburg State college Qour halls are hallowed because when walking through them our footsteps give forth a hallow soundj have done their bit for our venerable SUB, and perhaps it would be fitting to give those who have gone before some recompense in the form of dedication. But we're naming it Student Union Building aren't we? That should be enough. It gets the student's names before the public. To the Kanza? We thought about making a recommendation of our own to the special committee looking into the possibilities of the SUB. We thought it would be only fitting and proper to dedicate the student union to this year's Kanza staff. We changed our minds later. We knew that people would only think we were conceited. To Faculty? And another thing that occured to me is that we might dedicate it to the faculty, but again I philosophized that the faculty get blamed for enough--no use dragging them in any further. Perhaps we might dedicate our SUB to Good Fellowship. There are many possibilities I find after searching through lexicons and Roget's The- saurus. We might consecrate our dignified, stately, solemn, splendid, majestic sublime, noble edifice of the future to faith, hope and chairty, or better yet to liberty, equality, and fraternity. To Money . . . But that's enough of these inanities. The best idea I've had today is that we should dedicate our SUB to money. That's what put up the build- ing or will put it up. So it's good-bye now folks, as we leave the infant conception of the SUB struggling for exist- ence in the future. Will the building finally be erected, will it be worth going to Pitt State College another twenty years for, will it have a roof on it? Who knows? Read the Kanza of 1958 and find out. The 1947 season for the Gorilla football team wound up with a final record of two wins, six losses, and one tie, and a hold on fifth place in the Central Intercollegiate Conference. As far as wins go, this season could not be termed a success for the Gorillas, but taking some other things into consideration, the boys in Crimson and Gold didn't do badly at all. First there is the matter of team spirit, which the Gorillas never lost from the opening kickoff in the Kirksville game to the final gun in the Emporia fray. Even though they were outclassed many times on the field they never gave up, and the remarkable thing is that they could keep that spirit even though they were losing ball games. Another highlight in an otherwise drab sea- son was the outstanding defensive play of the Pittsburg ball club. With the Gorilla eleven trickily shifting their defensive formations with By JIM BROWN the opponent's different offensive threats, they usually held the scoring fairly low. If the schools in the CIC were rated defensively the Gorillas would be very near the top. Fine coaching was another bright spot in the Gorilla grid picture. Charley Morgan substituted wisely, used good strategy, and took advantage of all opportunities in engineering the ball club. Injuries plagued his team all season and Lady Luck turned her back, but Charley kept his team hustling. Prentice Gudgeon was there to help at all times, and the addition of fiery little Lee Bourn- onville and wise Carl Killion proved to be a good move. On the night of Sept. 19, the Pittsburg Gorillas opened the football season at home against the Kirksville Bulldogs and dropped the ballgame 12 to 6. Kirksvi1le's Serwatka and Asperger scored behind the huge Bulldog line, and Don German Page 16 countered on a line plunge for the home eleven. Pittsburg's offensive threats were held to a mini- mum by the Kirksville line, but their defensive work was somewhat better. Big Jim Gumfory was easily the most outstanding Pittsburg lineman. The Locals entertained the College of Em- poria Presbyterians on the night of Sept. 26, and after a slow first half defeated them 21 to 0. C. of E., operating from a short punt formation, looked smooth in the first half and the Gorillas couldn't get moving. The half ended in a score- less deadlock. Don German, playing his fourth year for Pitts- burg, opened the scoring for the locals as he smashed over from the ten. A combination of good blocking and brilliant ball-carrying netted the next touchdown as Dale Morrow scampered over from the 22-yard line. Speedy Glen Tolle, who had his best season since he starred for the Pitt team in 1942, slipped around end and went in from the ten-yard line. Passes from Hogue to Dutch Nogel netted many gains and the Pittsburg line, led by Don and Dud Stegge played excellent football. Jack Grim played good ball both defensively and offensively. Page 17 Little Leon Foster, playing his second year for the Crimson and Gold, kicked three extra points, one from the 25 after a penalty, and did a nice job in the quarterback spot. The powerful Springfield Bears came to town on Oct. 3, and humbled the Gorillas 21 to 0. The Pittsburg offensive was stopped cold by the Bears and the locals had a difficult time in holding the Springfield aggregation to three touchdowns. Playing before a homecoming crowd of 7,000 fans on Saturday, Oct. 11, the Pittsburg gridsters and the Hays Tigers battled to a scoreless tie. The Tigers came to town highly favored, but the Goril- las out-played them by far and did everything but win the ball game. Shifty Glen Tolle scored on a nice 20-yard run in the early part of the game, but the play was called back because of a Gorilla penalty, so the Morganmen had to be satis- fied with a moral victory. Big Tom Lester and Dutch Nogel were excellent in slowing down the Hays end runs and in snatching passes on the Pitt offensive. John Hottenstein played a good defensive ball game for the Gorillas as did Firman Mall and Joe Gray. J ack Wallace, who has more hustle than eight ordinary football men, backed up the Gorilla line to perfection. German played his usual out- standing game and was especially good on de- fensive work. The Gorillas outgained the Tigers, 159 to 117 yards, and got seven first downs to the visitors' four. The first out-of-town game for Pittsburg came Oct. 17, when they traveled to Topeka to tangle with the Washburn Ichabods in a conference tilt. The Gorillas lost a heartbreaker there 13 to 12. It was a rough ball game with the Pittsburg team fighting hard to bring home a victory. The first three quarters netted nothing for the Morganmen, but in the last quarter they unveiled a passing attack that brought two touchdowns and came very close to bringing two more to the Pittsburg side of the scoreboard. Schuette and Lorenzen hit Winters, Johnson, Tolle, Nogel, and Lester for good gains. German scored the first Pitt touchdown when he went off tackle to pay dirt from the six. Gooch Lorenzen coined the second six pointer for the Locals when he went over on a quarterback sneak. Washburn scored early on a 65-yard run by Mel- vin, outstanding Ichabod football and basketball player. To name any outstanding ball players for Pittsburg in this game would be folly. Every man who made the trip fought his heart out to bring home the bacon.

The Moundbuilders scored in the third quarter on a fake try for a field goal with Swofford taking a pass from Boone to win for Southwestern. The game was played in the mud which slowed down the offensive thrusts of both teams. The Gorillas outgained Southwestern and also rolled up more first downs than their oppon- ents. The ball game ended with the ball in posses- sion of Pitt on the Moundbuilderis one yard line. After frowning on the Gorillas for six games, Lady Luck finally gave them a few breaks on Saturday, Nov. 1, as the local eleven pounced on the hapless St. Benedicts Ravens beating them 19 to 6 on a soggy Brandenburg field. Tiny All- mon leaped up from his tackle position to haul down a St. Benedict's pass on the 32 that led to the first touchdown for the victors. A penalty, a running play, and a bullet pass from Leroy Schuette to Tom Lester in the end zone added six points for Pittsburg. Lester injured his knee on that play and was out for the rest of the season. Lesco, slippery back from Neodesha, skidded into pay dirt from the five for the second Pitt touchdown. Running drives by Lesco, DeRiso, and Tolle were outsanding in the next Gorilla touchdown drive that was terminated on a beauti- ful pass from Lorenzen to Lesco, The halfback took the pass over his shoulder on the ten and went over standing up. Jones, rugged Raven full- back, provided a thrilling play as he smashed off Page 18 tackle and went on a 90-yard journey from his own ten-yard line to counter the only score made by the visitors. Chet Heidman, Ernie Hebenstriet, and Bud Boman were smashing their way to- ward the goal line when the final horn sounded. The line play of Lester, Nogel and Hottensteirf stood out. On Nov. 8, the Wisconsin State Teachers of River Falls, Wisconsin, powered their way to a 19 to 6 win over the Morganmen, who were not at full strength with Lester, Dud Stegge, and Tiny Allmon on the sick or injured list. Speedy backs, Shock and Feiler, operated from a T-formation on quick opening plays to strike early in scoring their 19 points in the first half. In the second half the Gorillas played ball on an even plane with the boys from River Falls. The local's score came on one play that net- ted 70 yards as Gooch Lorenzen fired an accurate pass to end Al Cerne who stayed two steps in front of the Wisconsin safety on a 35-yard race to the end zone. Pittsburg later drove to the two yard marker, but lost the ball on downs as a Lorenzen pass failed. The Arkansas State Teachers College kept their undefeated record intact by downing the Pittsburg Gorillas 20 to 0 at Conway, Arkansas, on Nov. 14. The Arkansas team added six point- ers in the first, second, and fourth quarters with long runs featuring their attack. In their last non- conference tilt of the season the Crimson and Gold drove to the six-yard stripe in the final period, but were unable to score. Nov. 22, at Emporia, saw Pitt in its final action for the season as the Emporia Teachers clinched the CIC crown with a 28 to 7 victory. The Hornets scored early in the ball game, and a few minutes later the Pitt team drove to the eight-yard line where Dale Morrow smashed off tackle and across the pay-off line. Leon Foster split the uprights to raise the Pittsburg total to 7. The Southeast Kansans threatened to score in the second quarter when Ray Denny took a pass from Schuette and dashed to the 25 where he was hauled down from behind, but Pitt was stopped there. In the fourth quarter Winchester plunged over for the Hornets and Baronoski's kick made it 14 to 7. Seven Gorillas received post season honors by being selected to play in the second annual Mo-Kan bowl game in Kansas City, Dec. 7. They were Leroy Schuette, Johnny Hogue, Don German, Dutch Nogel, Dale Morrow, John Hottenstein, and Glen T olle. ' The Associated Press picked Don German as their first team fullback for the second straight year. The honor bestowed on the hard hitting full- back was a result of his stellar ball-carrying abili- ties and his outstanding defensive play. Don Stegge was chosen as a guard on the second team and honorable mention went to ends Nogel and Les- ter, tackle Dud Stegge, guard John Hottenstein, and quarterback Johnny Hogue. In the backfield are Tolle, German, Hogue and Morrow. The line is composed of Nogel, Allmon, Mall, Wallace, Don Stegge, Crouch and Lester. Gumfory, Lorenzen, Dud Stegge and Hebenstriet were not present at the time the pic- tures were taken. Page 19 Wiz? Z Football Coach Charley Morgan submitted thirty-four names to the athletic council of Pitts- burg State College to receive football letters for the 1947 season. Included in the list were the following twelve senior grid stars: DON GERMAN: A bright star in the Pitts- burg squad who impressed a good many coaches and fans long before he came to college. Don played four years for the Pittsburg high school Dragons. He was captain of the team for two years and made the all-league and all-state se- lections as a half back. A two-year letterman for the Gorillas, Don made honorable mention on the all-conference selection in 1942. GLENN TOLLE: Glenn is a fleet footed half- back who attended high school in Yates Center, where he was captain of his football team his senior year. While in high school he played against the Stegge boys, who are members of the Gor- illa squad. A navy veteran, Glenn made honor- able mention on the All-Conference selections in 1942 and was active in many 1946 games. BUD BOMAN: A senior, Bud is spending his second football season at Pittsburg. He lettered three years on the Moran high school team and one year at Fort Scott Junior College before going to war. Bud is a half-back and saw plenty of service for the Gorillas this year. JOHNNY HOGUE: A senior, Johnny hails from Russell. He made all-state while in high school. In the navy during the war, Johnny served aboard a hospital ship. He played fresh- man ball at Notre Dame, as well as having played a year of varsity ball for the Irish.'l Johnny turned in a good 1946 season and will repeat it this year. LEROY SCHUETTE: A brainy quarterback, Leroy claims Pittsburg as his home town now, but he attended high school at Clay Center. Any coach is always happy to have an all-star player returning to his squad, and Charley Morgan was no exception. He was greatly cheered by the re- turn of Schuette, who made All-Central Confer- ence in 1942. DUDLEY STEGGE: Dud, a tackle who has a twin brother on the team, attended high school at Eureka. His home is Pittsburg now. Stegge played with Coach Morgan's outstanding navy team at the College in 1943. Tipping the scales at 215, Stegge is five feet eleven and a half inches tall. He is a rugged individual and was an out- standing asset on the Gorilla line this fall. JOHN HOTTENSTEIN: Hottenstein played guard with the Gorillas. He was always a favorite with the Pittsburg football fans. His home town is Humboldt. In the backfield are Boman, Heidman, Schuette and Lesco. In the line are Gray, Crutcher, Hottenstein, Linville, Page, Craven and Cerne. Page 20 DONALD STEGGE: Don, a guard, is a twin brother to Dudley, tackle.

Don -made the freshman squad at Kansas State, Manhattan, after his graduation from high school. JOE GRAY: This 180-pound end hails from Pittsburg. He was well known by all football fans for his excellent work while with the Pittsburg High School Dragons. BOB LORENZEN: More often called Gooch by his buddies, Bob lettered for the Gorillas in 1945 and 46. A quarterback, he had the finest passing arm of any college player in the area last year. Bob is a good ball handler and saw a lot of action this year. He is a product of Pittsburg High school. DALE MORROW: Dale's home is Tulsa, where he lettered on the Tulsa Central team while in high school. Dale came to Pitt in the fall semester of '43. He played on John Lance's basketball team in '44 and earned a football letter at K. U. in '45. Morrow turned in many long runs in 1946 and played a lot in the grid wars last fall. He is a halfback. DUTCH NOGEL: Another end who has plenty of football savvy. Also a product of Pitts- burg High school, Dutch made the All-Southeast Kansas team three years in a row. He also made the all-state high school squad. Nogel first went to Tulsa University, where he earned his freshman letter. He then went to the Springfield Teachers College, Springfield, Mo., where he played regular end for two years before the war interrupted his training. Others included in the list to receive letters were E. K. Allmon, Charles Belt, Al Cerne, Wayne Craven, L. C. Crouch, Ray Denny, Frank DeRiso, Ray Evans, L. M.

Eclitor's Note: The next issue of the Kanza, to be distributed to students before the end of the spring semester, will carry complete coverage of the Gorilla year in basketball. Sports editor jim Brown has said pictures for this feature are now being taken. The word-picture of the basketball season will be handled by Brown who did the excellent football and track write-ups for this issue. In the backfield are Vossen, Snyder, Foster and Macheers. The line consists of Denny, Belt, Page, Grim, Hottenstein, Craven and Cerne, Page 21 I I I Wm K af X947 The Alpha's, following their old idea of get- ting the best looking girls on the campus, hit the jack pot when they pledged Ruth Richmond from Fort Scott. Ruthie began her September Atlantic City jaunt by first walking away with the Miss Pitts- burg title early last summer. Miss Kansas Clinching the trip to the East Coast, she broke back into the newspapers taking the Miss Kansas title. Winning the state title she boarded a train in September for Jersey with her mother as a chaperon. But here, with 54 best looking and best curved beauties in the country all parading in a heap, she lost out. Ruthie then returned to the campus to finish out her work on her degree. She will graduate this spring. At Atlantic City Ruth brought back with her many interesting tales of her Atlantic City experiences. While in the big city, she met many of the big-wigs. Mrs. Roxy of the Roxy theatre was director of the girls. fLucky gal, ehlj Ted Malone and Phil Regan were the masters of ceremonies. The young Kansas candidate for national hon- ors still contends her most scared moment of the entire affair was when she appeared before the auditorium full of people to sing My Wonderful One. But we all cried for joy when one of us won an honor, she remarked. I walked over to the center of the stage in the big auditorium and every light in the house was right at me. As far as I could see there were people. The rows seemed to go back until you wondered just where they stopped. One Big Family While in Atlantic City we lived like one big family, Ruthie said. What this country needs is more of such families. Everyone helped everyone else both at the hotel and at the various contests. Ruthie was awarded a scholarship to the Patri- cia Stevens modeling school. She appeared in many newsreels, and had interviews with many newspaper men. And watching her model a bathing suit, sweater or formal evening gown, we can't blame them, editorially speaking. It's not hafrd to understand why Ruth Richmond was chosen Miss Kansas of 1947.

Besides the formal dance the council sponsored a formal rush week, en- couraged scholarship through an award to the sorority with the highest grade point average, and acted as a clearing house for all sorority matters. Those sororities represented on the council are Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Theta Sigma Upsilon. Sponsor of the Pan-Hellenic council is Mrs. Edwina Fowlerg president of the organization is Vi Hall.-Betty Kissee.

Alpha Sigma Alpha, a national social sorority, was founded November 15, 1901, at Farmville, Virginia. The sorority is a charter member of the Association of Educational Sororities. Eta Eta chapter was organized in Pittsburg, July 9, 1920. Alpha Sigs are high minded . . Y' holds true to the group. As you know, Pat Scalet, Janie Anderson and Mavis Brewington are members of Kappa Delta Pi, honorary scholastic fraternity. In the little book called Who's Who two more Alphas have been added, Mavis Brewington and Orlanda Manci. True to Alpha tradition they participate in many campus activities. Alphas may be seen ushering for plays, modeling for down-town clothing stores, selling mums for homecoming, leading organizations, and even on the stage for Pat Scalet, Nancy Anderson, Margaret Benson and Louise Pyne had parts in the school play. For the last three years leading the college band were Alphas. This year it's Jackie Price, Elizabeth and Orlanda Manci. Shirley King, Alpha Sigma Alpha beauty queen representative in the homecoming election, was elected, maid of honor. The Alphas had more girls up for queen than other groups. Those were Marjorie Whitehouse, Peggy Pat- ten, Marion Gant German, Jackie Brown, Marilyn May, Mary Beth Tanner, Evelyn Whitaker, and Miss King. Mrs. Perva Hughes and Dr. Jane Carroll are the sorority advisors. Spon- sors are' Miss Eulalia Roseberry and Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Weede.

Theta Sigma Upsilon became a national sorority with the Alpha Chapter at Emporia, Kansas, in 1921, and is a member of the National Panhellenic Con- ference. Epsilon Chapter was installed on the Pittsburg campus in 1924 under the direction of Miss Elmina E. Graham. The national aim of Theta Sigma Upsilon is to establish a sisterhood whose five-fold object is the physical, intellectual, social, ethical, and spiritual de- velopment of its members. The open motto is, The Higher Good. The Thetas received the Panhellenic scholarship award in the spring of 1947, and came through Homecoming successfully with first prizes on their house decorations and their float. Their social service project the past year was the adoption of a needy family to whom they contributed food and cloth- ing. Members of Epsilon Chapter have been prominent in campus activities and have held numerous important offices. Many social good times are a part of their happy memories. The faculty advisors are Miss Frances Hashbarger and Miss Helen Kriegs- man. Patronesses are Mrs. O. P. Dellinger, Mrs. H. A. Holzer, Mrs. J. U. Massey, Mrs. Adele M. Burnett, Mrs. E. K. Smith, and Mrs. George E. Rug- gles. Miss Annie Marriott, Mrs. Ethel M. Peck, and Mrs. Bert Keeney are honor members.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but she had every other woman on the campus join in her chase. Statistics were not available on how many men were caught, but from all evidences seen on the campus, things were bad for the men. Women are menace enough, but when they are equipped with track shoes and jet engines, that's all brother! The campus was the hangout of many Daisy Maes and Lil Abners, as well as the rest of the comical Dogpatch characters. Co-eds in hiking boots, and ragged short skirts were a sight to make any young man take off for the hills upon sighting the approach of one of these eager females. November 14 found interest even higher. Poke bonnets, outlaw blouses, pigtails, and hair ribbons. were in evidence everywhere. That night at the Dogpatch dance hall, girls were handed genuine Hhitchin' papers which made her Sadie Hawkins day catch,' her legal husband because she catched him, fair and square. Nowhere was the transformation more effective than in the gym. This was really Dogpatch. Rows of spotlighted balloons formed a ceiling for the- floor that was surrounded by corn stalks and baled hay.

They made charming couples, the women with their corn cob pipes and the men folks with their jugs strapped to their backs. During the intermission everyone re- laxed with their jug of mountain dew and watched the entertainment provided by some real visitors from Dogpatch who explained some things about mountain liv- ing and wedding customs. While Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat wafted the vapors from their kickapoo joy juice across from the crowd, Marryin' Sam announced that there would then be a mass Wedding.

Veteran track coach, Garfield W. Weede, was counting on two men, Watson and Churchill, to carry the brunt of the KSTC attack in the dashes and jumps. When they dropped out of school, the Gorilla's chances hit a new low. To add to the long list of miseries, a foot injury kept Bill Cummin, distance runner, out for the entire season. On April 8, the 1947 edition of the Gorilla track squad traveled to Wichita for its first meet of the season where the Shockers romped to a 102 to 29 victory. That the locals had not had time to get into shape was shown when the Shockers swept all places in the 440, an event that later in the season became the strongest for the Gorillas. Four days after the Wichita meet the Pitt thin clads traveled to Emporia to participate in the Emporia Relays. Each school entered a four man team in every event and there was no individual competition. The Gorillas placed fifth with Em- poria edging out Wichita University for first. The entire meet was run off in the rain with runners having to wade through an inch or two of water on the track. The javelin was again the strong point of the locals, with a team composed of Hiedman, Conner, Walton, and Nogel copping first place. The shot- put team, Pardue, Hottenstien, McAlpine, and Grim, won a second as did the discus team of John- son, Mitchell, Walton, and Grim. Pardue, Ester, Hemphill, and Brown won a fourth in the high jump while Green, Toeller, Webb, and Logan added another fourth in the hurdle shuttle relay and the half mile relay team Page 38 of Sharp, Wilson, Edwards, and Bryson tied for third. Doc Weede entered several teams in the K. U. Relays and a two mile team of Slaughter, Sand- ers, Wilson and Boman won a second in this event. The Gorillas also entered several teams in the Drake Relays the following week but failed to place. Slaughter, Wilson, Webb, Sanders, Bryson, Sharp, and Boman made the trip. In their first and only meet on home cinders for the 1947 season, the Gorilla's finally rounded into shape and trounced the Emporia teachers 771!2 to 531f2 in a dual meet. The Hornets came to town May 3rd highly favored and quickly jumped to a lead by copping two places in the mile and first and second in the shot put. Bud Boman instilled fight into the hearts of the Gorilla track men when he defeated Emporia's Gary in the 440 and returned thirty minutes later to repeat with a win in the half mile. Sharp tied for first in the pole vault and Ester and Brown tied with Stokes of Emporia for first in the high jump. Longan and Toeller picked up a first and second in the high hurdles and later in the meet this same duo with Carl Webb added swept the low hurdles. Bryson won going away in the century with Sharp picking up a third. The speedy Bryson alsoi won the 220 followed closely by Edwards who added a third to the point total of the Gorillas. Conner won the javelin and Hied- man took second. Slaughter pounded out a second in the two mile after winning third in the mile run. Ester and Cattalino won a second and third in the broad jump. The Pittsburg tracksters put the fin- ishing touches on the day when they won the mile relay when Wilson, Sanders, Webb, and Boman sped around the oval four times in 3:29.5. The Pittsburg cinder men traveled to Emporia May 16 and 17 to participate in the CIC track meet. The Gorillas moved into Emporia in a def- inite contenders role and the dopesters had it figured that they would fight it out with Washburn for top honors. The Tigers from Fort Hays charged in to upset the dope bucket. They were strong in the same events that the Gorillas were strong in, namely the quarter and the two hurdle events, and this pushed the Gorillas to fourth while Hays and Washburn fought down to the wire for the championship. Fort Hays copped the title Page 37 scoring 47 points, Washburn had 42, Emporia 41, Pittsburg 30, Southwestern 3, and St. Benedicts 2. No records were broken. Pitt failed to score in the mile but Bud Boman finished a close second to Hertel of Hays in the quarter while Wilbur Sanders added a fourth to Doc Weede's score card. Ronald Bryson picked up a third in the 100-yard dash, Fred Longan topped the high hurdles for a third, and McAlpine scored a fourth in the shot put. Ester and Brown tied for third with four rival high jumpers, and Chet Hiedman hurled the javelin far enough to win a fourth. Hughie Wilson countered a first in the half mile. Hughie broke last from the starting holes, but wended his way to the top of the heap when he reached the final tape. Bryson placed third in the 220 and Slaughter ran a close second to Palace of Washburn in the two mile. Carl Webb scored a fourth in the low hurdles, Sharp placed fourth in the pole vault, and Cattalino performed well enough in the broad jump to finish third. The meet ended on a note that gave Pitt a chance to howl. In the mile relay, Bub Boman's brilliant finish, overcoming a 15-yard Emporia lead, and an ex- cellent race by Wilson, Webb and Sanders enabled the Gorillas to finish first in that event. Those who placed in the Conference meet lettered. Doc Weede, track personified, immediately began to look to this year, hoping to build a team that could return Pitt to its annual dominance in the track and field sport.

Hughes staged his banquet for the presidents on November 12, in the college cafeteria annex. The affair was so successful that almost immediately plans were being made for another one this semester. The banquet was held to provide an informal atmosphere for discussion of suggestions for im- provement of the school. In that respect it was most fruitful. One of the students at the banquet stood up and suggested flatly that the name of the school should be changed, and it should be done at once. Well, that was all that was needed to open verbal fire on some other things that needed to be changed too. Most emphatic was the cry, We want a new school song. One popular leader said the song reminded her of a funeral march, only it wasn't quite as lively as a funeral march. Even the phi- losopher of the group, Dean Ernest Mahan, joined the cry. Mahan came out for the first time CI-Ie said he had had it on his mind a long timej for a new and peppy song. I I I 0 Questions concerning the student union build- ing were also aired. Nobody seemed to envy the student union building committee whose thankless job was an extremely touchy one. Students wanted a union building immediately. Typical of comment by students is the Kanza article on page 14. Prof. Eugene Dawson, who would like better than any- one, to begin construction tomorrow, had to display the sad facts. Building materials were at an all time high, even S400,000 would be only a be- ginning. Also discussed was the issue of higher priced activity tickets. Dean Paul Murphy pointed out that KSTC's activity fee is lower than in most of the other colleges in this area. This has made budgets for entertainment extremely cramped, but officials in spite of this handicap were able to provide the best offering of celebrities they have had at the college in many years. fSee page 66D Most of the organization presidents seemed to favor an increase in the price of the activity ticket. Psi Chi President Bill Dewey, however, brought Even music with the dinner at President Hughes' banquet for the presidents of all: campus organizations. Result of the banquet: inspiration for drive for change of suh.00l's name to Pittsburg State College. Page 38 President Rees H. Hughes proves to be the life of the party at the banquet of the presidents. Reason for smile is a joke concerning the photographer who was shooting flash bulbs right and left. Students reported this was the best ban- quet they ever attended. up a question that seemed to dampen the enthu- siasm for any price hike. Dewey said that he was thinking of the non-veteran students who were having a difficult time trying to meet all increased costs of attending college. Naturally the veteran trainee whose activity fee is paid by the govern- ment would not object to an increase in feesg but those other students, what about them? This matter since that time has been a subject frequently discussed at student council meetings. It has not yet been definitely decided as this issue goes to press. Those Invited The sixty-four organization presidents invited to the affair were John Westfall, Vi Hall, Bob King, George Downing, Mary Lou Masters, Burt Sanders, Tom Kipp, Ernestine Johnson, Gene Montee, Robert Tollman, Don Overman and Joan Hughes-all representing the student council.

Members of the largest religious organization on the campus, they hold their meetings each week at that time. Sunday morning meetings are also held. Of course there is entertainment, both musical and otherwise, and refresh- ments are always waiting. But these are only sidelights of the main purpose of the organization-to encourage the student to maintain contact with the church and increase his interest in religion during his college career. Major emphasis is placed upon worship, recreation, and social activities. While other groups seem to have only periodic attendance, the Wesley Founda- tion appears to be one of the very few that holds its members presence at nearly every meeting. Of course, attendance is not compulsory. The local group is connected with the state Methodist Student Movement. That organization has chapters on many college campuses in Kansas. It also sponsors an annual Methodist student meeting in the spring, and many repre- sentatives of the local Wesley Foundation attend. One of the major projects the group has undertaken was sending deputy teams to high schools in this area to help them organize high school fellowships. Herbert Stocking is president of the group.

Starting as an agricutural club in 1912, this group then shifted its emphasis to pre-medic interest and became Lambda Sigma Kappa, an honorary profes- sional fraternity. After the addition of many veterans another shift of emphasis was noted, and the members voted to change the name to the Biology Club, in order to include all phases of the science equally. The bi-monthly meetings usually feature talks on various phases of biology by persons engaged in these fields. Highlights of the year included participation in the homecoming parade and selection of the queen candidate, the annual Christmas party at the home of Miss Moon, and visits by prominent local physicians. Three of the club sponsors attended the December AAAS meeting held in Chicago and brought back to the students reports of current research and new developments in biology. -BETTY McGowN Organized on the campus in 1938, the Industrial Arts Club is now under the capable leadership of President Paul Griffith, Paul is ably assisted by Harold Balzer, vice-president, Jay Holt, secretary, Marvin Seglem, treasurer, and Leon- ard Lawson, publicity chairman.

The Graphic Arts Club, inactive during the war years due to the lack of male enrollees, was revived with renewed interest last year. It is an organiza- tion strictly for majors and minors in printing. Monthly meetings are held, at which time professional topics are discussed. Experts from the various fields embraced in graphic arts give pertinent infor- mation on the modern trends in printing education, followed by a social hour. The purpose of the Graphic Arts Club is the promotion of interest in each phase of the entire graphic arts scope. Since its establishment in 1938 the usual plan is for the group to take one field trip each semester, visiting papers of various types and sizes and considering the mechanization of modern plants. Mr. L. G. Cutler is sponsor of the group. Each spring the club sponsors a design contest for printing students to encourage them to execute their own ideas for the commencement program cover. The winning design is used for this timely event. Smaller projects are made by the students individually through- out the year.-MAVIS BREWINGTON.

Page 62 Page 63 My soul discards the sluggish clay, And flings itself in wildest capers, Across a multicolored bay Aglow with green and yellow tapers. And on the far shore finds beside A unicorn that lies asleeping, A magic tambourine to ride Into the jeweled stars apeeping. The trumpets blare, and castonets With slanted, bright, facetious glances, Bewitch the laughing marionettes And guide them through their maddest dances While checkered cherubs play their flutes As they slide down a peacock feather, And clams march by with notes for boots, While Point and Counter scheme together. But suddenly my soul is dropped Through amber clouds from peaks cascadingg The record '4Miserere's stopped. Play it again-my dream is fading. Everett E. Newell forgo Wmzeig Referred to as the brightest highlight of the fall semester, the Kanza Variety Show continues to strike a note of amusement among the college students and faculty members alike. The memory of bright quips, peppy music, graceful dance num- bers, and beautiful girls makes each person who attended thank his lucky stars that he had the insight to be present at this unique performance. Everyone who neglected to take advantage of this gigantic production missed one of the most suc- cessful stage shows of the season. Ozzie johnson Ozzie Johnson, once a professional actor and now a top announcer at station KSEK, kept the entire show in hand as master of ceremonies. His seemingly endless supply of jokes and vaudeville routines filled the audience with hilarity that pervaded the entire atmosphere of the campus for several days afterward. A satire on Mary Had A Little Lambf, recited in the manner of a blood and thunder preacher of several decades ago put the audience in a jovial mood from the very be- ginning. George Toa1's Orchestra George Toal and his popular dance band con- tinued the professional theme with their own ar- rangements of the latest song hits. Lee Hartzfeld, soloist for the group, sang several numbers. Lower left: Photographer Gordon Ham'n1iz:l.' gets an zmzrszml shot of the orchestra.

Lower right: It's the oldest thing in the world, but it's ulzvzzys good. A Burl Ives record was played, while Jess Graves st9'11mn1ed the guitar and feigned singing. AIlflff'lIl'f' npplnffse il1d1'f'llt!'d this was one of the best l1I1IIIlH 7'S on the sllouf. 1 x 11- Page G4 Bob Scott, a first trumpet man who is rapidly climbing to the top of the musical world, had them begging for more with his solos. Bob is also one of the mainstays of the college band. Other college musicians were starred through- out the evening, and were very well received. Zoe Wilma Reid, accomplished organist and piano- player, thrilled the audience with her own personal arrangement of Lili Marlene, bringing back mem- ories of days in Europe to many of the veterans. Zoe received more than enough applause on all her numbers to merit several encores. jackie Brown Jackie Brown, who is always a favorite with any audience, again displayed her musical talents with the usual brilliance. Alphas' Ruth Richmond and Pat Scalet, almost had the audience ready to head south just to get a taste of one of those refreshing mint juleps when they finished their version of Tallahassee. Dancing Too Ladene Meier, well-known professional dancer from Pittsburg, was well-received by the audience. The multi-colored spotlight brought out Ladene's skill and beauty to the highest degree. There were many skits and routines in the show. Tap dancers, quartets, and trios flourished. But of all the outstanding work done, high praise should go to Elexene Lindsay and Darlene Haring for their portrayals respectively of Mrs. Danvers and Mrs. Maxim deWinter in a tense scene from the famed novel, Rebecca. Their presentation in- volved much previous preparation for they created the intense feeling of realism by acting from a window in a special set of the mansion at Mand- erley. By the use of effective records the eerie atmosphere was brought to a dramatic climax. Strange Objects In the middle of the show out of nowhere came two strange objects. According to the script fHere we pause to give the authors credit. Child geniuses, Harvey Fikes and Jack Simion wrote itj they were little Red Riding Hood and her slave A La Russian. For the benefit of all concerned, the names of the actors must forever remain unknown. Despite all the obstacles which stood in their way they managed to get a minor response from the audience. Their keen interpre- tation, however, of a poorly written script, and Page 65 It's Ozzie Johnson at the microphone. Ozzie was master of ceremonies at the show, and kept the crowd on the edge of their seats throughout the whole performance. Ozzie has the professional background necessary to really keep a show going. He was active in the theater and at present is an- nouncing at KSEK. their excellent acting will always be remembered and will give heart to students climbing the rocky path of success. Show Broadcast The first part of the show was broadcast over radio station KSEK. This, in itself, meant preparation and work for those who were in charge. Dr. Robertson Strawn and Professor David Moore were backstage and, needless to say, busy seeing that all went well. Bill Scott, who was in charge, impressed and calmed everyone with his serenity and intelligent actions on last minute and forgotten details which he should have thought of before the last minute. Credit should also go to Bob Clements and Roy Seal for their management of the general details of the production. Others too numerous to men- tion should also receive credit and thanks for their hard work and cooperation.--ERNESTINE JOHN- SON. It was celebrity time at the Kansas State Teachers College this year. Four outstanding en- tertainments featuring nationally known artists were scheduled to appear during the school year 1947-48. Leading off the series-one of the most elab- orate ever undertaken by the college-was the performance of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest. The play was presented by the National Repertory Players in the Carney Hall auditorium. A large crowd attended the play. Ballet Cancelled Scheduled next on the program was a per- formance by the Chicago Opera Ballet group. The ballet, however, was cancelled by the troupe, shortly before the appearance. Piatigorsky Gregor Piatigorsky, world renowned cellist, ap- peared in concert on the Carney Hall stage on January 5. Students and faculty agreed that the artist fulfilled every expectation. Mr. Piatigorsky is considered the greatest cellist of our day. He was engaged as first cellist of the Imperial opera at the age of fifteen. He has done considerable recording for both Victor and Columbia and has been featured in motion pictures including the recent release, 'Carnegie Hall. He has performed with the Philadelphia and New York Philharmonic orchestras. Students and faculty seemed to agree with the New York Sun when it described Piatigorsky as having the technical equipment, the soul, the tem- perament, and the platform personality, to make himself and his instrument beloved of concert goers. Kansas City Orchestra On February 4, the Kansas City orchestra under the direction of the famed conductor, Efrem Kurtz, appeared at the college. The students were expecting much at this performance. The orchestra was here last year, and the enthusiastic applause of the concert goers resulted in several encores. As was anticipated, the auditorium was filled Pictured below' 'is the famed Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra. C'an1pet'ir1g with its previous Pittsburg performance which r'ec'vi1'efI vnthusiastiz' applause, the orchestra returned for an vzzgagvnzent this year. Dr. Efrvnz Kart.: interuatianally acclaimed artist was the rronrlactor of the orchestra. Page 66 for the occasion. One faculty member was heard saying as he left the concert: That performance was a rare treat. Students were inclined to agree wholeheartedly. Afternoon Concert The Philharmonic presented, in addition to its evening concert, a special concert for high school and grade school children. The auditorium was packed for this performance. Probably the favorite selection of the audience at the afternoon affair was the orchestra's ren- dition of Prokofieff's Peter and the Wolfef' A similar concert was held last year when the orchestra was in Pittsburg. Efrem Kurtz Efrem Kurtz, conductor of the Kansas City orchestra, is internationally recognized. Recently recordings were released featuring Kurtz conduct- ing the London Philharmonic. Mr. Kurtz in his concert at Pittsburg State College this year again displayed his brilliant conducting ability. After witnessing the orches- tra's performance the audience could easily under- stand why Kurtz's conducting had won world- wide acclaim. Draper-Adler Scheduled to appear on March 15 are Larry Adler, and Paul Draper. Adler is the famed harmonica virtuoso, and Draper is the noted aesthetic tap dancer. It will be the first appearance for Draper and Adler in Pittsburg, and everyone expects a rare treat. From the opinions of the student and faculty members who have seen Draper and Adler perform, it is expected this should be one of the top events of the year. Something Ambitious The entertainment series was the ambitious plan of school administrators. The college planned the events after it was learned that civic organiza- tions that formerly had sponsored the importation of talent for Pittsburg were not operating this year. As President Hughes said: The four musical numbers constitute what is probably the most am- bitious entertainment series the college has ever attempted. Page 67 The New York Sun. describes Gregor Piatigorslfy as having the technical equipment, the soul, the teniperarnent, and the platform personality to make himself and his intrumenl beloved of concert goers. '6We have sponsored individual numbers that were just as outstanding as any of these, but never on its own resources, said the President. Students were admitted to all of the functions on their activity tickets. Faculty activity tickets were also good for all performances. Public Support Especially pleasing in this yearls celebrity time series was the response from the citizens of Pittsburg and surrounding territories. It must be remembered that only with public support could such an elaborate entertainment series be undertaken. It was reassuring to know that the citizens of this district were interested in the cultural ad- vancement of the students here on the campus. They have shown this interest by supporting just such activities as the entertainment series. Pictured in front of the Porter library are the sophomore class officers.

In conducting the seminar the participants were divided into two sections. One section worked on the general topic, 'fBasic Problems in Develop- ing One World. In this group a study was made of some of the social, psychological, economic and political factors which cause peoples to be what they are, and that determine largely what they are to become. The second section examined some of the school practices that contribute to international understanding, including in its studies such items as textbook content, teaching methods, teaching aids, teacher education, use of films, and similar items. Both sections were led by specialists. Part of each day was given over to lectures. Educational practices leading to international understanding in each nation, both in schools and other agencies, were described by the participants. Both sections were further divided into groups who in turn, with assistance of specialist leaders, devoted much time to work on special assignments. The results of their studies were developed into reports which after publication will be made avail- able for general distribution and use. There was common belief among all the par- ticipants that the program of the schools can con- tribute to solution of the problems of peace. There was general recognition of the fact that there must be a basic and common realization of the need and desire for peace. There was general agreement among the delegates that there must be an appre- ciation of the problems involved. The idea was expressed that educational leaders and groups had responsibility in developing both attitudes and practices. It is in the minds of men that the de- fenses of peace must be constructed, the seminar agreed, fPlease turn to page 90j l- DON GRAY.:er.::.' v annum DRU6 s1oRE -1' Phone 'I1 Page 86 The Most Popular Place Congratulations to the Class of 'I948 Off the Campus CAMPUS CLEANERS V JOE T.

QContinued from Page 86D There were many problems involved in the organization, administration and conduct of the seminar. Those in charge were charting a new course and a new method for developing inter- national understanding. It was the first professional meeting of its kind ever held. Differences in language, educational terminology, methods of con- ducting professional conferences, national customs and cultures, political relationships, and other fact- ors contributed to the difficulty of exchanging ideas and the formation of common bases upon which to develop understanding. These barriers delayed progress in the work and influenced conclusions. However, the prevailing opinion was that the pro- ject was profitable in every detail, and that it was well conducted. The participation was active, the approach was excellent, and the association was stimulating and enjoyable. Expression from members of the seminar in- dicated a belief that UNESCO should organize similar seminars as an effective means for develop- ing its program in the area of international educa- tion. It is suggested that further seminar studies be focused on specific areas, such as Preparation of Teachers for Education of International Under- standing, and Curriculum Content for Interna- tional Understanding Through Education? In this respect it is interesting to note that the United States National Commission in its meeting in Chicago on September 11, 12, and 13, unani- mously approved a resolution providing that at least four seminars be held in 1948isimilar to the one in Sevres. It is to be hoped that the resolution will be favorably considered and adopted by the International Commission in its meeting in Mexico City. Attendance in the seminar provided a rich personal experience. It was a privilege to meet and exchange view points with the other repre- sentatives. Just meeting and mingling with so many of like interests, from so many nations, was in itself, a profitable and pleasant experience in international relations. The participants went home, each to his country, inspired, better equipped with teaching materials, and with a more vivid appreciation of the problems involved in developing international understanding. All seemed to hold the opinion that it is possible to live together on the basis of acquaintance and understanding and cooperation, if there is real desire. Each one in his own sphere will have a deeper conviction and faith in the power of education as a potent force for develop- ing understanding, cooperation and good will among the peoples of the world. These are the factors upon which permanent peace will be made secure. Dr. T. Plumb, Opfqmefrigl' Ask Those Who Wear Plumb Glasses Office Phone 130 Residence 940 , 701 N. Broadway The COLLEGIATE Q?

Ma UML. Page 5 The 2-month whirl is over. The 1948 Kanza is now at the printer. We have fulfilled our promise to have the book in the hands of the students before the end of the second semester. And to whom do we owe thanks? To a faithful staff who came through from the very beginning to the very end. To those who wanted the book to come out on time. To organization officers who kept on the ball. To the trustful photography department and Prof. L. H. Caldwell for the use of his equipment. To Prof. Leroy Brewington for his never-ceasing assistance and suggestions. To the administration and the faculty. And yes, to each and every one of you and you and especially you. With this issue we complete our revolution of the Kanza. With the increasing cost in printing, paper and engravings and only the same revenue coming in, it was not easy. We even took the bottom of the barrel. But as revolutions come and go, we believe we won. It is different! As far as being interesting-that is up to you. The Kanza staff would like to know. Next year there will be another book and it is up to the students and their reaction as to whether the staff of 1949 will follow through. We have brought you leg art, beauty, features and most of all, tried to picture College life from the realistic angle. This, the period of revolution, we went further and brought in a name band for the annual Kanza formal dance. Without a question, it was a success. Ruth Payne proved to be an able queen for our yearbook. And we are very proud of Bing's selection of Margaret and Helen for attendants. This office is now a barren space of exhausted humanity. Papers are every- where. Pictures and negatives are arranged according to a jumbled-up file system on the floor near the waste basket. This editor, with this piece of copy, is ending the yearbook. Again we pause, out of breath, and thank everyone for the many little ways they have helped.-J.H.

I think I have the answer now. My history prof says it represents four years of completed college work. Well, he is partly right, but he has touched only one side of the sheepskin. Back in '45 I told you I was looking forward to coming back. True, I wanted to get the most out of the education that Uncle Sam was paying for, but there is a great deal old unc, isn't paying for. And some of it is more valuable than the stuff that comes out of books. The bull sessions we get into over at the Collegiate, for example. Men have written many articles on how to make friends, but remember, a cup of coffee can do wonders. The team here this year didn't do too good in the conference, as there seemed to be a lack of school spirit. Now don't misunderstand me, Al, we got some pretty peppy students here. But we could sure use some of that pep you said your school has. The dances were pretty fair this year. We had a very charming young gal crowned Kanza queen. Pretty as a picture. One of the attendants looked like the picture you carried with you all through Normandy and into the Bulge. Lots of PL16's here. Seeing some of the fellas makes you grow up in a hurry. They are a swell bunch of boys, Al. You remember I told you this college has more than it's share of beauti- ful co-eds? Well it hasn't changed! They grow 'em pretty in Kansas. Going to have some good lookin' school marms. One of the co-eds went to the Miss America contest in Jersey last fall. Al, she's as pretty as they come. Saw one of my old flames the other day. She's married now and has a young son. Says he is going to play football for the school. His old man graduates this spring. A bunch of the fellas are certainly working long hours. A couple of my buds are working full time outside and carrying a full class load. Hope the dean doesn't hear about it. Prices are sure high and the old first-of-the-month check sometimes doesn't go all the way. Some of the departmental clubs are really great things. Boy you really get a great deal out of them. Socially, too. We still run across some of those birds that know all the mistakes we made during the war. Some of them are talking about what's wrong with this country now. But I'm not worried too much, Al, most of them don't know what side is up anyway. Well, Al, put 'em all together and you have the answer to what the sheep- skin I get in May means to me. Write soon. JOE Page 8- I I I Nl... It's Dance Time. Yes, time for music by transcriptions and re-cords, says A1 Mc- Clure about 7 o'clock each night of the week over KOAM. Al swears that he is the best looking man in seventeen states and Curly Montee says that if it wasn't for his bald head, he would be. fMontee's that isj. has that trait that helps out in life. doesn't let ANYTHING bother him much. He accepts life for what it is and what some people say. The people are greatest judges, says Mr. Dance Time. Al He too not the X X. Bad... A coffee-drinking and pipe-smoking graduate student-that's Bob Hickman of the social science department. Bob, a native of West Virginia, got mixed up with the Middlewest while in the navy. And I'm still in the darn place, he adds. During the middle of the second semester, he became a proud poppa. He is working on his graduate degree with a fellowship and teaches classes in the social science department. Yes, Bob is Mr. History personified. Everything from the size shoe Napoleon wore on his march into Russia to what the sit- uation was during the seige in the Phil- ippines. Ozzie, by present profession, is an an- nouncer and platter spinner down at KSEK. At College he is working for a degree in the speech department. Dur- ing the winter he had a contest with Curly Montee. Ozzie contended that he could raise more hair on his chin than Montee could raise on his head. The contest was called off when razor blades became more plentiful. Ozzie loves to wear loud socks. Yes, he's got a car, a new Studebaker convertible. Have him take you for a ride. A student in the social science grad- uate department, F. R. McClanahan is known to many on the campus. Mac was president of Phi Alpha Theta, hon- orary history fraternity during the past year. He plans to teach this fall. He is one of those fellas that everyone on the campus has a good word for. Of course, Mac, you will have to admit that you stick your foot out every once in a while and say something you get tripped upon. Once, three times one morning, Ball... Earl Morey is that fella who handles a large part of the publicity for the school in the sports field. Bull, who hails from Frontenac, is a junior this semester and is majoring in language and litera- ture. He plans to teach journalism after he graduates. Bull is an ex-navy man, a bomb-dropper deluxe of the navy air corps, During the war he spent a large part of his time in the Pacific. Football and basketball rank high with Bull, who plans to be on the Kanza staff next year. q fig ' Jn. .f M f- . fm fllaacella... One of the more popular co-eds on the campus is Marcella Jack who hails from El Dorado way. She is a major in the social science department and an- other 'fbrainf' She was initiated into Phi Alpha Theta, honorary history fra- ternity, in the early part of this semes- ter. Plans for the future, she says- an old maid school teacher. Hmmmmm. . . . She is a Theta. During her off time hours you will find her over at the cafeteria where she is one of the cashiers. Art is one of these fellas that has a part in many school activities and gives them all his best attention. During the first semester, he worked long hours in the Kanza office struggling along with Bill Scott in getting the first edition out. This semester he has really been in there pitching. And to top it all, he is one of those guys that settles for mostly A when it comes to grade card time. His greatest academic interest seems to be foreign languages. Guafaf . . And now we come to Curly, An ex- southwest Pacific navy bartender. Mon- tee at the present time works at KSEK and has done a great deal of M. C. work at the school. 4'My two greatest worries are how much longer am I going to have to wait before I am com- pletely bald and when are we going to have to fight the Reds, he says. Curly, a great hand at humor, has a yearning for radio-journalism. And if you hear someone say, '4Man, I'm just knocking myself out, -that's Curly.

This is better. Now with a beautiful pair of legs like these 7 many young men, and yes, some older ones too, go around with bowed heads as if in prayer. And who would blame them. Even a large number of the girls on the campus like the short skirts much better than the long skirts. With the coming of the summer season, the long skirts will be hotter, some College co-ed remarked. And whatls more we like the lighter colored hose.-JH. Page 36 The new look took the country by storm last year and despite the Long Skirt-No Date clubs, seems to be holding its own. To see a pretty pair of legs, a fella has gotta take a trip out to a swimming pool. And to top it all off, they throw in these black hose which don't do a pretty pair of legs justice. Man I tell you it's a sin. One of the interesting things that came out of the war, some people say, is this long skirt idea. As far as most men are concerned it can be buried on one of the atolls of the Pacific- JH. .nf ' 16 mf' Pays 37 flew JCM .

For the first time in the history of the College a name band was brought to Pittsburg for the dance. This year Ted Weems and his orchestra attracted many students and alumni from throughout the district. Ruth is a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority.

Another day of school. While shaving, Stanley Gumbo stares at the bags under his eyes. He makes another resolution that he will refrain from staying out late at night. On the way to breakfast he snatches the morn- ing paper off the table and sits down to eat. Stuff- ing part of an egg into his mouth he reads that Dick Tracy has just captured Shoulders. Hurriedly jumping on the late bus he lights up a fag and stares out the window, wishing the bus were going somewhere else besides to school. Someone hails Stanley as he steps from the bus. Stanley is wary of this person as one of those that always lets the other guy pay for the coffee. 4.4--f 0 o W X K!4,..i Nevertheless, Stanley accepts his invitation to drink java. Upon entering the sanctuary of col- lege students his ears are struck with a blaring sound from the juke box, Slap Me In the Face With A Fish, Father, is the obnoxious recording. Still sleepy, Stanley attempts to carry conversa- tion with his friend. Someone comes mobiling into the cafe, brushing aside people and belated homework that is left lying on a table is flipped into the air by the swiftness of his stride. The individual with the pencil behind his ear collapses on the stool be- side the fountain and while waiting for his order plops a nickel into the juke box for an encore of Slap Me In the Face With a Fish, Father. This is the indomitable and diligent student of jour- Page 48 nalism, who is probably seeking news for the local sheet. He surveys the crowd with x-ray eyes and sips his coffee. Stanley glances at his watch--almost time for class. Snatching the check he tells his friend that he will see him later and take it easy. Stanley is gagged as he enters his biology class. The beverages of the night before and the odor of dead fish absorbing formaldehyde is very' nauseating to him. Although his face is whiter than the chalk on the blackboard he manages to gain his seat. He becomes accustomed to the odor and while refraining from breathing too deeply, he regains his composure. Briinnggg. Stanley rejoices at the sound of this bell-class is dismissed. He immediately joins his friends and again heads for the establishment Where coffee is disbursed. The sound of the juke box again buffets his ears. The coffee tastes bitter and he begins to voice his complaint as he lights a cigaret. In a secluded corner of the cafe he observes friends who are working algebra prob- lems in collobration. He wonders how anyone can work problems in such confusion. Another bell rings, this time coming from a pin-ball machine that is changing colors and flashing numbers across its bow. It emits more distorted sounds and changes color again, bells ringing louder than ever. The person operating the machine is twisting and Writhing like one in great pain. He administers moderate blows to the side of the machine attempt- ing to guide the course of the ball. Stanley pushes his coffee aside and moves toward the operator, wishing that there were some way he could help the poor unfortunate with the twist- ed spine attempting to register 65,000 on the last ball. Stanley attentively observes this strange rit- ual most college students perform dailyg then tak- ing a last look at the perplexed ball rushing through various canals', and Hgatesv he departs for his next class with wrung hands. Strengthened with the stimulation that coffee brings, Stanley ascends the four flights of stairs in Russ hall. Breathing a trifle heavy, he enters his class and carries on a light conversation with his classmate before the instructor arrives. Half- way during the class Stanley feels he needs another cup of coffee to keep him awake, but compromises by raising a window. As the window rises his face is lightly buffeted by the fresh spring breeze leap- ing through the window. He breathes deeply the Page 49 freshness of the air and wishes he were outside on a fine day like this. His thoughts are pleasantly interrupted by the ringing of the bell. He descends to the second floor of Russ hall and pauses to converse with a friend. Someone comes vaulting down the stairs, two at a time, and lands somewhat heavily upon the floor. This hurried person stands nervously glancing in every direction before resuming his task of scrambling up and down the stairs. Stanley remarks to his friend that he cannot understand why student re- porters are always so rushed for time. Quick- bring a replacement! Rearranging the books under his arm, Stanley descends the stairs, one at a time. He is met half- way down the landing by another newshound, a mad gleam in his eye, puffing like a steam engine, flying up the stairs as if in competition with Mer- cury. Stanley enters the placidity and tranquility of the library. He walks straight to the magazine stacks, picks up a copy of LIFE and sits down to relax. The noon bell rings. Stanley leaps to his feet, down the stairs and runs full speed toward his favorite eating establishment. People are stream- ing out of buildings, madly dashing in every di- rection. Cars start up with successive roarsg pan- demonium reigns. Fortunately, Stanley finds a CContinued on page 1015 - f-5. . .

U Student Council participation this past year claimed the attention of John B. Westfall as president, George Downing as vice president, Mary Lou Masters as secretary, and Burt Sanders and Tom Kipp, first and second semester treasurer respectively. For the first time in its history the council conducted open meetings. This group was eminently successful in initiating new ideas and releasing new angles on old events. One of the most interesting pieces of work carried out was the investigation of food prices in surrounding eating establishments and a resulting effective at- tempt on the part of the group to lower prices or increase food quantity. Another important com- mittee made a complete analysis of the activity ticket fund and suggested recommendations to the administration for changes in the appropriation of this fund. Many representatives from K. S. T. C. were selected to attend state and national events of great importance. Among these was Vi Hall, a council member, who was chosen to represent the College at K. U. as a queen candidate for K. U.'s Sweetheart Swing. Burt Sanders was sent as a council delegate to a UNESCO conference held in Wichita during the month of December. George Downing will be the council's delegate at a na- tional convention of the National Student Associa- tion in Chicago this coming summer. George was chosen as a result of the members voting to join this national organization. Among the various campus events sponsored by the Student Council were a street dance in the fall, the Homecoming Queen election, a movement for changing the name of the school, the annual Apple Day dance, and the Sadie Hawkins dance. fContinued on page 1025 Page 50 Page 51 Discus Student T91 gqfllg the iggud- J1't'SC'llfClf7.l'eS Fa cf-fiizdiny 00 nz mittee. Pfresiclent John W e'sffczlI and Dr. Paul Murphy QM!! SQMMM... Every campus in the country has a course in chemistry, grammar, math, history, etc. Some of these courses are required and some are not. But on each and every one of these campuses you will find that on the agenda of every student during the process of getin a degreel' will be eight completed semesters of Bull Session 101- 108. And what's more it accounts for more home- work than any other subject. Location-there is no special place. Just any old spot where a handful meet with a few spare moments. Take over at the Collegiate. Around the back table, during the process of a day, many log up time over coffee and meals about dances, politics and that new cutie from western Kansas. Up on the third floor of Russ in the journalism department, amid amazed reporters, editors and others you can spot about two different sessions throughout the day. But such is the case in most fields of news gathering. There has to be staff comment on just about every piece of news that's fit to print. Russia, the Marshall plan and another war are the three most talked about topics on the interna- tional front. Butf for those who gather in clans of one sex or the other, the topic will sometime or other run to the discussion of the other sex. Have you noticed Betty now since she has started going steady? or He has a nice new car and just loves to dance. Get the general idea? In an effort to get a bird's eye view of a wide open bull session, one of the Kanza staff members got permission to visit Willard hall one night just before a cage game. He took along a camera just Page 52 in case he needed protection. CFrom what is the question he still asks.j As he stepped behind the sacred curtain on the east side of the living room, the sound of man on first reverberated throughout the hall. One girl from behind some closed door echoed, this I gotta see. But she failed to make her identity known. All the way up to the third floor the sound of man on second and man on third echoed through the brilliantly-lighted halls. Finally into one of the rooms he was mustered and there was a full fledged bull session in prog- ress. Pictures of men all around. Pasted on the walls and on the window sill and on the table. A phonograph machine sitting on a stand was wait- ing to churn out another time the notes of Star Dust. But what the topic of conversation was the in- truder was not able to find out. It stopped short. QMaking side bets, two to one, that it was you know whatlj After the March snow storm and college stu- dents were assured the spring season was at hand, under many a tree and out in the sunshine were many sessions. Why I remember once in St. Louis over on Market street . . . and the mad cycle starts all over again. As to length, there is no length for a session. It may last as long as a cigarette you smoke on the fourth floor of Russ hall in between classes, or on the other hand, as long as the nickels hold out for java. Without mentioning the library, this would not be complete. For in the reserve reading room amid books, papers, charts, maps and tired looking stu- dents, the silence is broken early in the morning by America's greatest institution-a bull session -on a quieter scale. Girls tell about their dates of the night before and the boys either gripe or crow about the poker game or the beautiful little red-head who is out of this world.. That is everybody with the exception of Bill Brewer who drags in about 10 o'clock and shouts this stuff is killing me. Maybe it is the drive down from Fort Scott to get to Medieval Institu- tions on time.

Every Wednesday night these and many other signals pour into the ears of radio operators of electronic Warfare company, 9-189, the College's naval reserve short wave station. There are a number of College students who are members of the company. The organization officially started Feb. 11. On March 10, the radio station went into operation and joined the network of the ninth naval district with its main link at St. Louis. Principal activities of the group are centered around the work of radiomen, signalmen, radar- men, and sonarmen and electronic technicians. The company is participating in all radio commu- nication activities of the ninth naval district. A regular meeting is held every second and fourth Wednesday with those who wish to work meeting on the other Wednesdays of the month. For beginning radiomen, code classes are conduct- ed on the scheduled meeting nights. Experienced radiomen handle the equipment and file all mess- ages received. Eventually the unit intends to be organized in much the same way as if it were on a ship. If such is the case we may hear that old time-hon- ored cry, Ship Ahoyf, as a rowboat slips into view on the College lake. Shipments of radio and radar equipment are being received from time to time. The College has furnished a room on the third floor of the Page 54 Mechanical Arts building for the radio shack. Here the equipment is set up and operated at scheduled times. In addition to the technical equipment received the unit has also obtained a shipment of typewriters and other miscellaneous supplies. Plans are indefinite as to the use of the sonar equipment received. Lieutenant Robertson Strawn, commanding officer, has made the remark that it may be necessary to install this equipment in a rowboat on College lake. Or if we have any more blizzards like the one in March it may be used to measure the depth of the snow. In fathoms, that is. Another undecided factor is the practice of the signalmen. Perhaps as the weather grows warmer we may see flags wig-wagging and lights blinking from the roofs of the buildings on the campus as the signalmen go into operation. Some bright stu- dents might even get the idea of having the ans- wers to a test wig-wagged to them as they sweat it out. The purpose of the organization is not only to keep the ex-servicemen in practice but also to train any new-comers. It is strictly voluntary and is not limited to College students. Many of the members are high-school students who have had no previous service experience. Although it is a naval activity, members of other branches of the service reserves as well as those who have no service connections can par- ticipate in the activities of the group.

There is little resemblance of the form of the book this year as compared tor that of the past years. During the first semester William Scott was editor, Orlanda Manci, assistant editor and John Hudson, business manager. Plans for the Kanza ball which brought Ted Weems and his orchestra to Pittsburg were started at that time. This year's staff hopes that the idea will be carried out in future years with the co- operation of the students, faculty and alumnae. Highlight of the many activities the Kanza pro- duced during the first semester was the Kanza Variety Show in November in the College audi- torium. A number of the college students combined their talents to make the show a huge success. William Scott produced the show and spent con- siderable time in working out the details. At the end of the first semester, Scott and Manci resigned and John Hudson was appointed editor-in-chief and asked to continue with his duties as business manager. William Conrad was appointed assistant editor by the new editor and Robert Greenwood was made special assistant to the editor. Highlight of the activities of the second semester was the Kanza ball when Ruth Payne was crowned queen and Helen Overman and Mar- garet McKinney named attendants. Page 56 Page 57 JOHN HUDSON, edito-r-in-chief and business manager. This year the Kanza made an at- tempt to bring to the students of the campus more features concerning Col- lege life. Undoubtedly we have left out some things which add zest to campus life. But putting out more than 100 pages in a short period we had to leave out some things. However, we believe we picked up the more important items of life at Kansas State Teachers College. WILLIAM CONRAD Assistant Editor ' 7mmmq. . . Almost any kind of vocational training desired can be had in the Industrial and Mechanical Arts departments. Ranging from the grease-soaked rags of the auto-mechanics classes to the brushes and pallets of the art students, the vocational train- ing department covers a wide variety of fields open to interested students. In the auto-mechanics class the students learn to tear down and rebuild cars. Here old jalopies become souped-up hot rods, and the ailing sedan takes a new lease on life. As a car goes on the operating table coveralled greasemonkeys scram- ble over and under it, exploring its innermost in- nards. Armed with wrenches, hammer and crow- bars they soon either have a new car for the road or a new wreck for the junk yard. In the advanced division quality repair work is done for the public the same as in a commercial garage. When the presses start rolling in the printing department and the Collegios come rolling out, it is the result of part of a week's labor in the print shop. From the linotype operators down to the pressmen the job is long and never finished. Along with the printing of the school paper there is al- ways job printing to do. Handbills, tickets, posters, etc., are all poducts of the printing department. Then there are students who climb to the third floor of the Mechanical Arts building every day to hear the dits'l and dahs'l of radio communica- tion. Crouched intently over their short-wave re- ceivers they listen to the different signals jam- ming the air-waves. Calls from ships at sea, air- liners, police calls and even the Ham's messages are transcribed. Some members of the class as- semble radio equipment learning the mechanics of the radio itself. Can you saw a board straight? Do you know the difference between a joiner and a shaper? If you don't then you are certainly not a member of the wood-working class. With the screaming of a rip-saw and the zip, zip of a plane, raw lumber soon begins to take the shape of perhaps a desk or a chair. Skilled instructors pass on the arts and crafts of the trade to the students. This is where cabinet-makers are made not born. That minature gasoline engine you saw flying in a model airplane the other day might have been a product of a graduate from the metal-work- ing department. Of course precision lathe-work is only one phase of this department. There are also the sheet-metal classes and welding classes. One of the up and coming fields today is re- frigeration. As the weather grows warmer and the older 'lice-boxes give out with wear, more and more skilled refrigerator men will be needed. In the classes of this course, students learn funda- mentals of refrigeration from the ground up. They learn the mechanics of units even so far as the repairing of the motor. Is the day of the iceman past? aShut that doori' is the expression commonly heard in the photography department as some misguided individual lets too much light on a sub- ject. This is one course where students have to be in the dark to learn anything. A fascinating hobby as well as a profitable business, photography is fast becoming a prominent course of study. Its various departments make it interesting to nearly everyone. Loaded with film holders and flash bulbs, an exposure meter slung around his neck, carrying camera and tripod, the weary student Page 58 sets out on a field trip. Where are all these minia- ture, super-duper, do-everything cameras we hear about so much? Certainly not here. Thatls what the student is for, to do everything that needs to be done. Though perhaps not as accurate and detailed as the pictures produced in the photo department, those put out in the art classes are often more interesting and more artistic. Photography is much quicker even with all the masses of gadgets to turn and twist, but in the art class if you don't like the shape of a person's nose, a twist of the pen will change it. The products of this depart- ment are varied. They range from the crude car- toons found in this book to the beautiful land- scapes and portraits of the advanced students. A recent project undertaken by the department is the painting of a mural for the cafeteria. These are not all the courses offered in the vocational department. There are many branches of these mentioned, but here you have the major courses in this portion of the school's curriculum. It is no wonder that with the highly trained faculty in the mechanical and industrial arts de- partment that Kansas State Teachers College draws students from throughout the United States. And with the rapid improvements in machines and tools, these two departments are keeping pace with progress and continuing to forge ahead of all others. Yes, to an ardent and hard-working group of faculty members under the direction of Dr. O. A. Hankammer, department head, this College is truly indebted. W. C. Page 59 .gm nv um. . un..

They have purchased several new instruments, pianos, and equipment. Plans are now under way to purchase new band uniforms for the coming year. Four new instructors, Edna Scotten Billings, organ, Maxyne Mathisen, wood- wind, Mrs. D. D. Moore, piano, and Val Hill, brass percussion and band, have been added in the department. Markwood Holmes, piano, violin and theory instructor, is now teaching full time. The Band, Madrigal singers, Men's glee club, Women's glee club and orchestra appeared in numerous assemblies, five of which were all musi- cal assemblies, and went out of town singing and playing assembly programs. Among the towns visited were St. Paul, Altoona, Thayer, Miami, Emporia and Lawrence.

College Music Festival and the District High School Music Festival. The College Music Festi- val began April ll with Musical Vespers, a joint faculty recital on April 13, on April 14 the Clari- net Clinic with all the high school clarinetists of this area. Ori April 15 all players of string instru- ments in this area gathered for a rehearsal during the day and joined with the College Orchestra for a concert that night. This year the annual District High School Music Festival was held April 2 and 3. The campus was ablaze with color as approximately 3,000 per- sons, representing 43 towns met here for the event. About 50 high schools sent bands, orchestras, drum corps, mixed choruses, boys and girls glee clubs, small vocal and instrumental ensembles of many combinations, and instrument, voice and piano soloists to perform for criticism and ratings. The Madrigal singers, a relatively new vocal group, sang for numerous civic clubs, did a series of radio broadcasts over KOAM, and took part in school assembly programs at LaCygne, Parker, Garnett and Osawatomie. They also participated in the Arts in Kansas Festival program at Law- rence. Gabriella Campbell's Women's glee club and Claude R. Newcomb's Men's glee club have sung for many assemblies and civic programs. On April 4 and 5 the Men's glee club went to Em- poria to take part in the Men's Choral Festival at the College of Emporia. On the return trip they stopped at Madison, Eureka Sand other schools. During the worst storm of the winter, March 10, the Orchestra traveled to Baxter Springs and Galena to do concerts. It, like other groups, have played for a great many assemblies and programs such as Apple Day and the Christmas concert. In addition to the large groups there are several small ensembles. Otis Mumaw, head of the depart- ment, said, more emphasis is being placed on small ensembles because each person must carry his own part. 77 Page 62 Wmic Jail .

During the week-end she was there, a Sweetheart of America was chosen with representatives from three states participating. This semester Vi took her first air plane ride. She has always been interested in flying but every time she planned to go up something always seemed to be in the way. However, up she went in April. Vi loves to skate, swim and play tennis.

With the installation of this chapter on our campus, the in- dustrial education department has strengthened its scholastic foundations. In order to be a member of Epsilon Pi Tau, a student must be a junior, senior or a graduate student in the department with educational training leading to a teaching degree. He must rank in the upper 20 per cent of bac- calaureate candidates or 50 per cent if a graduate student. He must have certain other qualities, particularly in leadership and personality traits. At the present time Alpha Alpha Chapter has a total of 62 members- four students on the campus, eleven faculty members and 47 alumni.

The Women's Physical Education Major's Club is an organization of high standing on the campus. It is composed of all women physical educa- tion majors. These majors join heartedly in supporting the PEMC and its projects The majors have an annual spring camping trip, send newsletters to the alumni of the department twice a year, have concessions for the different games on the campus, hold open-house at homcoming time and have an annual formal Christmas banquet. Along with these activities they sponsor a high school play-day once a year. This year the theme was Hobo Trails. The majors appointed an executive committee to work out plans and to appoint various committees for making a successful play-day. This was really their very own play-day since they were in charge of all the planning. Miss Cave passed final word on all plans. The executive committee included Rosealea Caulkins, Dorothy Hyman and Helen Anderson, chairman. With the instructors, majors and executive committee working side by side, they ended up with one of the most successful play-days ever to be sponsored by the majors. Officers for this year were first semester president, Mardeen Bolze and Martha McIntosh, second semester president. Vice-president, Helen Ander- son, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Hyman. Misses Cave and Triplett were co-sponsors.-H.A. 7heZa Minh . . . Scenes from The Willo'1v and I,', basically a drama with touches of excellent humor written by John Pat- rick, was a superb production known to be one of the best production by the Theta Alpha Phi players. Pictured above are the daughters, Mara and Bessie Sutro who pose in the living room in the Sutro home. The plot was centered around Mara, played by Elexene Lindsay, who became an amnesia victim for forty years. Bessie, played by Marion German, was a selfish, sister who married Mara's fiance. The picture at the right was taken from a scene in the third act, forty years after, when Mara returned to normal to find her world sadly changed. Mabel, the modern maid who loves to hear blubber-lips Gold- win play the saxophone, was played by Corrine Bur- nett. Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatics fraternity, was founded in 1919 by Dr. John R. Pelsma of the speech department. The local organization, Alpha chapter, was established in July, 1923. Prof. David D. Moore is the director of the chapter. Membership in the organization is earned by students who participate in dramatic productions, either by acting or by taking part in back stage work. The chapter's activities began with an informal party on stage in Carney hall. A program with Gene Montee acting as master of ceremonies, was presented. Oscar Johnson, an active member Other members of the cast were Bruce Washburn, Mary Lou Williams, Oscar Johnson, Darlene Haring, Morris Hudson, Jesse Graves, Robert Mcfllphine and Douglas Moore.

The first production of the year was Ladies of the Jury which was presented by a cast of 23 players in a 2-night performance before more than 2,000 people. The group kept the audience in a rollicking mood throughout the entire program. The per- formance moved smoothly from the opening court room scene in act one to the final decision in the jury room in the final act. Outward Bound, Sutton Vane's delicate, ironic Page 83 fantasy, about the voyage of a group of strangely assorted characters from the grave to the myster- ious shores beyond it, was produced in April.

Today we are hoping for peace- a lasting peace. In the face of constant threats to world peace, we here in the Middlewest are doing something more than hoping. The Middlewest is like a sleeping giant. If another war should mar our lives we would answer the call. The idle factories, the closed and abandoned camps, the huge refineries would all spring into life again. This dormant Leviathan would rise and roll up its sleeves and work. Another war might be the last in two respects. If, in the event of another war, we might secure lasting peace, or we might all be dead. The present threat to the world and to the Middlewest is Communism. This form of government exercises rigid economic controls and suppresses those who strive to gain happiness. Such a form of government preys on the weak. It preys upon those who hope by building up an illusion of hope. We were threatened once before. We crushed Nazism and Fascism and we can still crush. We here in the Middlewest are too content to be mislead by any false promises. We are not weak. Synonymous with World War III is the atomic bomb. If used as an in- strument of war, this man-made agent of death would obliterate the earth. We must remain alert. We must be vigilant. Compromise is of no use. We have tried compromise. Look what has happened. We are dealing with something that must be dealt with firmly. We must remain strong and ready here in the Middlewest. We must have UMT or a reasonable facsimile. A strong and powerful nation is more respected than a weak one. We can be strong with UMT. At the same time we can help stamp out Communism by foreign aid. Communism is like lightning-you never know where it will strike next. And it can strike in the same place twice. There need not be another war. War is hell. It is useless and abortive slaughter of man. No nation has ever truly WON a war. And keep in mind that if there is another war it will surpass all others in horror and slaughter. It is rather hard to picture in our minds the earth as a barren and deserted planet without life. This could happen. The Middlewest is not too geographically remote to be secure from destruction. No place on the face of the earth is safe. Havens and Shangri La's lie only in' the world of phantasy and escapeg there is no such place on the earth. So if we are challenged, the Middlewest will again rise and work for peace and freedom-we must or be destroyed. Page 88 5 mx '41QE'iu'31 Page 89 gil?

The Gorilla cage squad wended their way through a tough 1947-48 campaign amassing a final total of nine wins against twelve losses and a fifth place spot in the CIC. Pitt cut the cords for 964 points while their opponents scored 1022. The average Pittsburg basketball fan, while not giving up on his ball club by any means, seemed to have found visions of next year be- fore his eyes everytime he saw the Gorilla squad play. The Crimson and Gold freshmen were outstanding, and having a year of college ball under their belts, should go far in putting Pitt back on the globe as far as basketball in con- cerned. Coach john Lance was handicapped in his ef- forts because inexperienced players caused him to spend a great deal of extra time in practice sessions on individual fundamentals. However, the ball club never failed to give the crowd their money's worth and turned in several excellent ball games during the season. By J im Brown The cagers who had lettered previously were Guy Mitchell, Homer Cole, Russell Granger, and Buck Balzer. The opener for the local crew was a thriller at Independence. Playing the Juco club there found the Gorillas having to fight off a last minute rally. Duke Mitchell broke a last minute deadlock with the last two of his twenty-five points to put the ball game in the win column. The next battle on the agenda was a game with the Arkansas University Razorbacks, and the Gori- llas dropped it 75 to 42. Stringbean George Kok scored 26 points, and the Razorbacks controlled the rebounds as John Lance used the latter part of the ball game to test his freshmen under fire. Mitchell, Brown, Balzer, and Granger scrapped their way to a 49 to 38 victory over Drury at Springfield on December 8. Pitt was hot in the first part of the ball game, jumping off to a seven point lead and then playing excellent defensive ball to bring home a win. Page 90 In the first ball game on the home boards the Lancemen dumped Tahlequah with a 41 to 34 lacing. Mitchell led in the scoring as he swished six field goals and a brace of free throws while Clint Brown and Russel Granger played fine ball games. Big John Spillman, six foot-eight inch boy from Fredonia did a good job of rebounding for the locals. The slow, methodic Springfield Bears came to town and defeated Pitt in a rough and tumble ball game. The score was 56 to 40. Mitchell hit four- teen and Granger nine for the leading Pitt scorers. Starting out with a deadly accuracy and an out- standing defense, the Gorillas looked as though they would get back in the win column in the next ball game, but the East Central cagers from Ada, Okla., put on a last half spurt to win 52 to 47. Though the Pittsburg fans were disappointed in the outcome, they saw some fine shooting by Duke Mitchell as he amassed a total of 23 points. Mac Hay pulled some slick ball stealing in the last few minutes to score six points and give the crowd something to cheer about. After the Christmas holidays the Lancemen in- vaded Tahlequah and at the end of regulation playing time the score stood 39-39. That called for an overtime period and the Gorillas wasted no time in clinching the ball game. Guy Mitchell scored from the field and hit two free throws, Russell Granger hit a swisher, and Homer Cole upped the score with a toss from the charity line. All this happened while holding the Oklahomans to two points to make the final score 46 to 41. On January 3, the Gorillas met Ada for the second time and were cold. Meanwhile Ada hit with repeated accuracy to give the East Central squad a win 54 to 36. The Ada team employed a pressing defense, a type that was a bugaboo for Pitt all season. Big Mitchell collected twenty- two points for scoring honors. With ten minutes to go and Arkansas State leading 34 to 26, it looked as though another mark would be chalked up in the Gorilla loss column. However, Mitchell and Homer Cole thought otherwise as they knocked the bottom out of the net to give Pitt a 43 to 40 victory. Cole iced the win with a drive-in shot in the last few seconds of play. John Lance elected to surprise State with a zone defense, a large factor toward the victory. Page 91 Leading until seven minutes were left to play, the Gorillas were edged by the Springfield Bears at Springfield on January 7, by a score of 43 to 38. Pitt played a good ball game and might have won it but tired too quickly after just finishing a long road trip that had seen them battle hard to pick up two close ones. Duke Mitchell hit 23 points. In their first conference game of the season, the Gorillas proved they were no pushover as they battled the powerful Washburn Ichabods to the wire losing by only four points-44-48. Pitt led at the half and the ball game was very close all of the way as Mitchell connected for seventeen and Buck Balzer hit nine. For the first time in history, St. Benedicts of Atchison met the Gorillas on the basketball court and walked off victorious. John Lance's boys held a 32 to 30 halftime lead, but the fast charging, hard running Ravens opened up a torrid fast break to win at the 40-minute mark, 60 to 51. Perpetual high point man Mitchell sacked up 22 points. The first conference victory for the locals came when they invaded the camp of the Southwestern Moundbuilders and squeezed through with a 38 to 36 win. Clint Brown, freshman forward from Lewis, Kansas, fired two swishers in the last minute of play to give the Gorillas the win. Mitchell and Kahler tied for honors with sixteen points. Drury visited the Pittsburg gym on the night of January 24 and returned to Springfield on the short end of a 50 to 38 count. Clint Brown was again a thorn in the side of the vistors as he hit fourteen points. Brown's shots go in a high arch and hit dead center with uncanny accuracy. Mitch- ell collected 18 points and Granger contributed eight to the final score. The third conference loss for the Gorillas came at the hands of the champion Emporia Hornets 58 to 31. The Hornets were hot and also kept the visitors away from the basket. Bill Mitchell, new- comer from Ark City, played a nice game for the Lance cagers as he took more than his share of rebounds and garnered eleven points. The long Emporia-Hays trip seems to usually prove fatal to the locals and this year was no exception. The Tigers of Hays added a win to their record by scoring 52 points to Pitt's 44. In the latter part of the fray John Lance's charges pulled to within five points of the Tigers, but they could get no closer. Brown scored twelve while playing a sharp floor game and Guy Mitchell checked in with fifteen. The home crowd got its biggest thrill of the season on February 5 as they witnessed the fall of the mighty Ichabods from Washburn. The Gorillas, who had been gradually improving all season hit their peak in putting the skids under the Topekans, 45 to 39. It was a thriller all the way with Guy Mitchell playing a good floor game in holding down Washburn's Carlson and making Pitt fans wonder how the big Washburn center ever received all conference honors. Bill Mitchell turned in his finest game on the Pittsburg gym hitting six left-handed flip shots and three charity tosses. Big Red was also effective in clearing the boards on both ends of the court. Don Uhlenhop, a tall freshman, helped pull down the defensive rebounds and also contributed to the scoring with two nice hits from the corner. Russell Granger continually stole the ball from the visitors and cut the cords twice with two-handed push shots from far out. Cole solved the Washburn pressing defense and Morrow, Brown, and Balzer all helped with the victory. Fans stood and cheered for five minutes after Guy Mitchell hit a last second shot in the first half from sixty feet out. The Pittsburg center saw that time was running out and let fly with a high archer that was wending its way through the rafters as the buzzer sounded. The ball crashed against the backboard and swished through for two of the most spectacular points of the season. After playing such a great ball game the week before, the Gorillas had a slight let down on their shooting eye and dropped a conference tilt to St. Benedicts 54 to 37. Mitchell collected nineteen points but was still runner up to Raven center Pat Doherty, who scored 20. The Ravens again employed their Wild fast break in out running Pitt. The Southwestern Moundbuilders were the victims of the Gorillas on February 19, as they lost 48 to 62. Pitt played another outstanding game and according to Art Kahler, veteran Southwestern coach, could beat any one in the conference with that type of ball. Buck Balzer was an outstanding factor in the conference victory as he punched in close on five drive-in shots and added three free tosses. Homer Cole quarterbacked the club as it used the double post to baffle the visitors and added ten points to the cause. Guy Mitchell scored seventeen to tie Dan Kahler, Southwestern center, Page 93 for scoring honors. Clint Brown hit twelve points and turned in another good ball game for the locals. The Emporia Hornets invaded Pittsburg Febru- ary 23 and took home a 63 to 49 win. The ball game was played before a packed house with the Gorilla's fans no doubt visioning an upset. Dennis Shogren hit the first nine points for the visitors, largely on jump shots from the right. The Hornets led 34 to 16 at half time. In the last half the Lancemen came roaring back to outscore the visitors 33 to 29. However, it wasnlt enough to overcome the huge lead built up by Emporia. Russell Granger turned in a good ball game while Big John Spillman and Dale Morrow each added a good share to the Gorilla total. Except for a lax, defensively and offensively, in the beginning of the second half, the Gorillas would have come out on top in their final game of the season. During that lax the Tigers from Fort Hays overcame a Gorilla lead and built up a fourteen point asset that Pitt could not Whittle down. The Lancemen did fight hard however, in pulling back to a 51 to 53 final score. Bad luck plagued the Pitt cagers as Homer Cole was slowed QContinued on Page 1005 Maman '4 Sfwfia. , .
