Page 7'zc'fl'ur STUDENT Upper' Left: Mike l'Cigar DeFeo, passed out El Ropos on elec- tion day and took one hour and a hal fto vote. lt seem- ed that he was wrestling with the problem of whether to vote for himself or not. VVith him is Rex Morgan, who ran on the Vo-camp ticket with Mike. Morgan is Business aMnager of the Unews and it seems that the staff thinks he likes VVatkins' Drug Store better than work. Upper Right: john McNeely, freshman Bentonian, who has been at the top of a very interesting triangle for some time. Second Row: Gene Davis, joe Taylor and Wfhitney Sunderland, Geology Majors, who are, believe it or not, relaxing between strenuous classes. Third Row: An interior of an early morning lab, where young science students get crooked backs from looking through microscopes at phloem cells and plastids. Fourth Row: Bob Doctor is happy because he doesn't own the car by which the distinguished gentleman is standing. The car belongs to Ed Lewis. The story behind this picture is one of the best of the year. This policeman found seven Ford V-Ss on the wrong side of the street, facing the wrong way and parked by no-parking signs. He was about to plaster them with tickets when he learned that they all belonged to a group of detectives who were taking a course at the U. F WO Qwl if .

Each sorority and fraternity soon assumes a definite personality. From the day of its founding, it takes on certain traits just as an individual expresses his own innate characteristics. The so- cial groups at K. C. U. have had only five years to develop-in fact most of them are considerably younger than that-yet they have already achieved vastly different personalities. O Do A Good Deed Daily Alpha Phi Omega is the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the campus. It may be for a time at group of serious-minded boy scouts, while several days later it suddenly becomes the 'fglad-to-see-you-outu frat which demonstrates its evil powers by nabbing up a loin's share of the prize rushees. Never try to forecast the actions of A. P. O. O 'Tse A Muggin ' Next we come to the rah-rah girls. They are always in there pitching Cwith you or at youj. Upon being introduced to a member of Beta Beta Delta, it is best to cover up and call a retreat, or you will soon have either bought a ticket or asked for a datef' They are connected somehow with an extra chapter at Junior College. .-i.O.- The Case of the Missing Co-eds This is the sorority of mystery. It is somewhat secretive, giving many private affairs. Rather large, its girls always go around together. Beta Zeta is the name-the Madame X of K. C. U. This sorority is the youngest on the campus, having been here for only two years. . Hide-Here Comes a Bentonian Bentonian-it makes you think of dancing. This club dances constantly. It is the jig-a-boo of the campus. It's Friday night at the Pla-Mor, Satur- day at the script dance, and Sunday afternoon at the nickleodeon dance. Every member is loaded down with tickets which he thrusts on the unwary. They are the flashy boys of the school. T,.T .

This club bears heavily of physical pulchritude and swing dancing. Its only reason for existance seems to be to give its members a chance to pay back some boy 6 friends by treating them to an occasional dance. 1 -O- - Under the Table Although this frat is sometimes called Kegon, it is known to many as the Thank God it's Fri- day club. They groan through the week to come unexpectedly to life on Friday about 2.00 P. M. From then until Monday they go around with some of the boys really enjoying life. But then comes Monday and again rthey hibernate. .Ti..T..O The Most-Members Sorority May we now present the sophisticates of K. C. U. The little girls who think they know their way around. The Sigma Betas. However, this sorority is slipping, for every now and then one of its members can be seen actually acting natural. VVhen not occupied with dazzling the males, the Sigma Betas spend their time joining and dropping out of Girl's Pan-Hell. . Get In There and Pitch The Sigma Chi Psi's are really nice guys when you get beneath that what's it to you shell. These are the boys who can take it, for no pledge is admit- ted who cannot stay out every night for a week without weakening. Their girls are select and few. O Having A Wonderful Time One club at K. C. U. has definitely reformed. Last year 90 per cent of the members of U and I Sorority went steady. This year, according to the president, none go steady. However. it does happen that 90 per cent of the members accept dates with only one boy. They are the clinging vine type and lucky is the one to whom they cling. if I ' m DA - ' WC
