Until we had the Com- mons there was no place on the cam- pus for students to go when they had open hours between classes. Our li- brary did not furnish enough room. The Commons gives the students, as Well as members of the faculty, and guests, a place to go for recreation, a place Where they can be quiet, and can en- joy a peaceful atmosphere. It also pro- vides suitable eating facilities. Of course any institution of learning with an attendance of more than 1,300 students is handicapped Without an auditorium. The University's new .... . . . . Auditorium is more desirable than most in that it is Well constructed, Well designed, artistically arranged, and so complete that it provides all the attri- butes of a little theatre, with splendid stage equipment, lighting facilities, and accoustic properties that are ideal. The students seem to appreciate the Auditorium. Their attitude seems to be that of trying to live up to the iine atmo- sphere of the room. This new building elevates all other buildings We have on the compus by supplementing them and making the campus a more balanced unit. When We have a new library the unit will be completely balanced.

Members of the student governing body are Mary Alice Naramore, Martha Barrett, Max Hatfield, John Glades, Harold Priddle, Frank Malone, president, Lewis Crum, Victor Blurton, Phyllis Barber, and Betty Neely. Pictured in the insert at the top is Mr. Malone absorbing some winter sunshine on the library stei H A W Your Government Workings of the Student Council, although per- haps the most important student undertaking in the University, is relatively unfamiliar to the aver- age collegian. Anyone can present a measure to the council if it is Within the power of that body to deal with the matter. lt is either done by explaining the proposition to a council member who in turn brings it before the open council, by Written statement, or by appearing personally before the student governing body. Usual procedure re- quires about a week, although more pressing business is handled in less time. Reason for the Weeks delay is to give council members time to consider the proposition. The Student Council, which is similar to that 10 used in numerous other schools, does much of its major business through committees cooperating with corresponding faculty committees. Heading the convocation committee this year was Stanley Diamond and Maxine Setzer, co-chairmang social committee, Dick Price, chairman, Marguerite Mc- Cluer, co-chairman: activities committee, Sherman Culbertson, chairman, Lorene York, co-chairman: and pep committee, lohn Glades, chairman, and Corrine Bennett, co-chairman. Betty Bradford was reelected senior representa- tive this year. Second-semester changes included Margaret Branson for Betty Neely, Ianet Tudhope for Alice lane Brown, and Betty Bill Bomigh for Martha Barrett. New members have been active on the council since February. CN Tl-IE RECCRD With the closing of school the University Stu- dent Council completes one of the largest pro- grams ever attempted here. Headed by Frank Malone, senior, and Mary Alice Naramore, senior, vice president, the council followed a program outlined for it early in the year. Early last fall when University administration officials decided to sponsor a series of eight radio broadcasts as a means of advertising the school they went to the Student Council for arrangements. Accepting the assignment, the council secured the necessary entertainment. Another means that the council adopted for advertising the University was an appropriation of S200 to the R. O. T. C. Band to enable it to travel to adjoining communi- ties to present programs. Formerly University social life has been very limited. Students have never really known each other outside classes because the minute they were excused, they left the campus. The council realized that this situation existed here and that it was definitely detrimental to student good will. Inexpensive varsities and All-School Evening Parties were the council's theme song. Admis- sion prices to varsities were always kept so low that no one desiring to attend would be kept away. As a result, attendants were numerous enough for the governing body to realize a profit- from nearly every dance. Evening parties were equally strict in their adherence to the low price idea. They differed from varsities inasmuch as the programs were broader, with less emphasis upon dancing and more stress upon the no date feature. All-school mixers were also sponsored at convenient times. The cost of these was borne directly by council funds since no admission was charged and all students were invited. When the Red Cross sought all available funds to aid the Mississippi Valley flood sufferers this winter the council did its part by raising nearly S5200 from subscriptions among University students. And then, the University would not be the same without pep convocations. The Student Council sponsored several this year. Along the line of pep activities, the council also fully backed both the men's and women's pep clubs, working with each organization before athletic contests. An outstanding feature inaugurated and spon- sored by the student governing body was the series of bi-weekly afternoon Student Forums. Authorities were invited to the Commons to lecture on their particular fields, and then answer ques- tions by students. The council's purchase of a radio, ping-pong table, and magazines for the Commons made open hours there more enjoyable. The large outside bulletin board was another progressive step in publicising student activities. Besides Mr. Malone and Miss Naramore, original council members were Martha Barrett, Max Hat- field, Iohn Glades, Harold Priddle, Lewis Crum, Victor Blurton, Phyllis Barber, and Betty Neely. The Regents The University Board of Regents is composed of civic leaders who actively further the welfare of the municipal school. Its members direct the business and policies of the institution and super- vise each of the four colleges. The board is composed of lohn Kirkwood, chair- man, Mrs. R. M. Gouldner, vice chairman, S. Carnot Brennan, secretary, W. D. lochems, attor- ney, Harry W. Horn, Charles Parr, Otto Souders, W. S. Henrion, Robert Israel, and W. E. Holmes. President W. M. Iardine attends all meetings. The City Commission and the Board of Education each selects four members. The ninth is the city mayor and is an ex-officio member. During the past year the audit committee was headed by Mr. Souders, the building and grounds committee by Mr. Henrion, the supplies committee by Mr. Brennan, and the ways and means com- mittee by Dr. Horn. This year the board super- ll vised the budget, the completion of the Commons, authorized remodeling of the Henrion Gymnasium, authorized the remodeling of the old lunch room into a suitable art department, secured several new faculty members, and, through legislation, had the tax levy increased from l.75 mills to 2 mills. President Iardine is responsible for actual administration of the school. In the Ianuary report to the City Commission and the Board of Education, the regents said that although the nature of the times still remained such as to require that the University continue to operate on a materially reduced budget, it has been possible to do several things in the way of extending service. A few new instructors were added: departmental course subject matter was expanded or contracted as was proved needful or expedient: and through the financial assistance of the federal government, much needed building and campus improvements were made.

The several seasons offered variety, and upsets scored over powerful foes stimulated interest. As a result new opponents were engaged from outside athletic conferences, The local Shocker team was reaping distinc- tion in its own vicinity while Northwestern was ascending to the top of the American football world by successfully hurdling the powerful Minnesota team. At the same time Pittsburgh University was breaking its path to the Rose Bowl. Holding the spotlight for the past year was the surprise victory scored over the downers of the famous Texas Christian football team. The defeating of Texas Technological College, Lub- bock, Texas, on the gridiron has taken its place among the zenith performances of Wichita teams. Other outstanding performances were exhibited later in a season climaxed by the one-sided vic- tory of 2U to 0 over South Dakota State on Thanks- giving Day. At that time Velda Mae Gahan, senior, was crowned Oueen of Homecoming. Her escort was Henry Onsgard, Ir. For the first time in several years the basketball team made an extensive holiday trip. A game with Colorado College, outstanding in the Rocky Mountain Conference, necessitated a journey to Colorado Springs, Colorado, resulting in a victory for the Shockers. Entrance of the freshman rule indicates the ex- pansion in local athletics in the near future. This period of transition to the three-year competition regulation retarded even more successful athletic prowess for the year. However, tennis, golf, and track have held the attention of sports fans during the closing weeks of school. But with spring sports events in full swing, grid- sters have been busy with spring football practice in preparation for one of the best schedules in the history of the University next year. As to its success, that can be determined next fall by com- paring it with the .... 1936 FOOTBALL RECORD Opponent Wichita Sept. 25 at Washburn ...... .......... l 3 6 Oct. 2 W. U.

Ray DeHon, Shocker hack, brought a capacity crowd to its feet during the Oklahoma City University game here on October 24 when he carried the ball around right end for a substantial gain. Oklahoma City University was de- feated by Wichita 13 to 6. PIGSKIN CLASSICS Confronted with a ten-game schedule, a varsity squad, including 17 returning lettermen, reported to Head Coach Albert 1. Gebert and Line Coach F. Nordy Hoffmann early in September. lt was the first season for Wichita under the freshmen rule and consequently there was no depending upon the large yearling group to aid in bolstering varsity strength. Washburn was first on the schedule demanding a trip to Topeka. A 13 to 5 defeat for Wichita resulted. The following week the freshmen were encountered. It proved to be more than a practice game for the regulars when the yearlings scored first to hold a 6 to O lead at half. However, the varsity came back and won 20 to 6. At the same time, in Texas the Red Raiders of Tech were defeating the famous Texas Christian crew. Texas Tech came to Wichita the next week. No early season game in Shocker history received so much attention. Wichita was given little chance for victory. The large, early season crowd saw a scoreless first half on a muddy field. lt proved to be a case of holding Tech until the half, for a clever passing attack and a break in the form of a Tech penalty put Fullback Orville Ward in a position from which he charged over center for the sole touchdown of the game. At Hays the following week an entirely different event took place. Ft. Hays State bottled up the Shocker offense completely and emerged a victor 14 to U. Oklahoma City University came to Wichita for a non-conference game on October 24. The Goldbugs presented a razzle-dazzle style of ball and scored early to get a 6 to U lead at the half. 4. Q A ' S A It was Ward's 51-yard punt which went out on O. C. U.'s one-foot line that broke up their attack. The Goldbugs tried passes deep in their, territory. Ward intercepted one and made Wichita's initial score for a 13 to 6 Shocker victory. Wichita re- ceived the spoils of victory in the Goldbug game for a broken leg was received by Tromer Smith. He was out of competition for the remainder of the season. St. Louis University came to Wichita the next week and left with a victorious score of 25 to 7. Three Central Conference games followed. Pitts- burg found it necessary to put over but one scoring play to win 7 to U on their home field. ln the Emporia game played here the Hornets registered a 19-point lead in the first two periods and appeared to be certain winners. Wichita fully commanded the second half, however, to account for 13 points but was unable to pull a winning play allowing the score of 19 to 13 to stand. Southwestern, in cellar position in the conference, unleashed a surprising passing attack to score against Wichita in the closing league game of the season, but Wells, Brill, and Ward scored during the game for a l9 to 7 Shocker victory. ln the season's final game the Shockers lived up well to the event and occasion of Homecoming by downing South Dakota State 20 to O. The game featured a 45-yard pass from DeHon to Nye who ran 15 yards for the third touchdown. The play is outstanding in Shocker sports history. The freshmen squad had a successful season. A 22 to O victory was scored over Washburn's freshman a month after the 20-6 loss to the W. U. varsity. Pittsburg's reserves were defeated 15 to 7. .fl -+.-- . . . . a minute later they resumed practice . . . . These members of the varsity football squad shared gridiron honors during the past year.

The chances are, however, lettermen on the field are featured in his clouds of thought. Their star vic- tory of 6 to O over Texas Tech prompted a Texas sports scribe to write .... your team was the one to start the Red Raiders on their downward slide .... you have a great team. Respon- sible were these lettermen, plus Captain-elect Tro- ll6l mer Smith and Alvin Popp who are not shown. Pictured Cacross and downl are Herbert Schlott- hauer, Reiny Niehage, Quanah Fields, Orville Ward, LaVerne Doud, George Ax, Calvin Stewart, lake Ogden, Carl Wuertele, Harold Brill, Lewis Burtord, Gerhardt Eikermann, Locey Gawthrop, Glenn Nye, Wayne Iohnson, Keith Fulton, lohn Cotter, Grant Barner, Barney Nash, Carl Gill, Ray Del-lon, lames Heiser, Gerald Wells, and Don Tewell. Several of these men will be graduated this spring. TO THESE A YELLOW UW Letters were awarded to 26 Shocker gridmen this season. Again only five are lost from the lettermen ranks by graduation. Headed by Captain Keith Fulton the group contains Gerhardt Eiker- mann, LeVerne Doud, Ray DeHon, and Glenn Nye. In Del-ion, Wichita loses an outstanding back. Not only was he one of the most successful passers to be associated with Shocker football teams during the past few years but he has also been a con- sistent ground gainer. Glenn Nye distinguished himself in four years of competition as a pass receiver and figured prominently in many Wichita victories. Captain Fulton, Del-ion, and Nye have all made numerous honorary mythical team selections during their grid careers. ln Eikerman and Doud, both tackles, two holes are left in the line for l937. Eikermann began his Shocker grid seasons as an end but was later changed to tackle. Doud was always a main- stay in the line at the inner post. Although senior losses are serious there are 21 lettermen among whom material may be found. Thirteen have two more years to play for the University. Captain-elect Tromer Smith and Harold Brill, who rated practically every all-conference selection of the year, head the sophomores. Other sophomore lettermen are George Ax, Grant Barner, Iames Heiser, Barney Nash and Alvin Popp, all linemen, and Lewis Burford, Wayne lohnson, Harold Schlotthauer, Gerald Wells, Reine Niehage, and Carl Wuertele of the backfield. lunior winners of the Wichita grid monogram are Iohn Cotter, Ouanah Fields, Carl Gill, Calvin Stewart, and Don Tewell, linemen, and Locey Gawthrop, lake Ogden, and Orville Ward of the backfield. Seventeen members of the fr e s h m e n te a m received the first freshmen numerals ever to be awarded here. Those receiving the awards were Bill Steward, Paul Nye, Earl Abbott, Dominic Perino, Wilbur Iones, Bill Pollock, Kenneth LeFeVer, Robert Mallory, Dale Neelly, George Neelly, lim Menasco, Finley Ross, Harlan Groves, Clyde Wren, lim Farrow, Blaine Miltner, and Milton Dial. GEBERT-HOFFMANN-HENNIGHANEELLY No changes were made in the coaching staff for the year and a staff experienced in Shocker athletics controlled the sports program of l936-37. Albert l. Gebert, director and head football coach in his seventh year here, was assisted by F. Nordy Hoffmann, William H. Hennigh, and Leroy Neelly in guiding University men through a well-rounded sports program. All four coaches served during the football season with Coaches Hennigh and Neelly man- aging the freshmen squad. Coach Neelly also managed the freshmen basketball squad while Head Basketball Coach Hennigh directed the varsity. Coach Hoffmann, assisted by Mark Watson, headed the track staff. Golf and tennis were managed by Coaches Gebert and Hennigh following spring football practice. Coach'Gebert came here in l929. Coach Hoffmann came to the University two years ago. The men are from the University of Notre Dame. Coach Hennigh resigned this spring because of a reputed salary dispute. L . . . . varsity material--next year . . . .

An original lineup of 13 men composed the Shocker basketball squad, although the number later was reduced to nine who received letters. Pictured are fseatedl Wayne Johnson, Glenn Nye, Roy DeHon, Locey Gawthrop, Kenneth Cupit, Gerald Wells, Cstandingl Harold Brill, Art Jacques, Reiny Niehage, Gerhardt Eikermann, Calvin Stewart, Dale Strahan, and Delbert Moore. Coach Hennigh is completing his last season with the schoolls athletic department. HOCKER basketball expanded this year to in- clude a game with Colorado College of the Rocky Mountain conference and a special holiday contest with Drake University, co-champions of the Missouri Valley Conference. The 21-game sched- ule netted nine victories, bringing the season record just short of .43U. ln Central Conference play the team gained second place by defeating Emporia three times and Pittsburg twice. The Pittsburg victories came midway in February at the time the Gorillas held an undisputed claim to the title. The University of Oklahoma offered initial com- petition of the cage year in a game played at Norman, winning 36 to 27. Five days later the squad played St. Louis University in the Missouri city, losing again 26 to 24. Returning they stopped at Topeka to play Washburn. Result was an- f18l other loss, 27 to 25. Drake came to Wichita the following week headed by Charles Orebaugh, all- Missouri Valley guard. The Shockers won 42 to 38. The trip to Colorado followed a week later and Wichita's first encounter with a Rocky Moun- tain team resulted in a 42 to 38 Shocker victory. Southwestern opened the conference play here by winning 45 to 34. The conference season ended in a three-way tie with Ft. Hays, Pittsburg and South- western holding the joint title. Shocker basketball suffered from lack of facili- ties during the season. The gym was not avail- able because of reconstruction begun early last fall which continued until late spring. However, rapid improvement is promised for the coming year. A new gym will allow games to be played on the campus and will further school interest in the sport while increasing the efficiency in handling the team. EADED by Co-captains Locey Pike Gaw- throp and Ray DeHon, nine Shocker cagers completed their time requirements for varsity letter awards. They were Gerald Wells, Grant Barner, Wayne lohnson, and Willard Iohnson, forwards, Thurman Calvin Stewart, center: and Glenn Nye and Ray Kaufman, guards. Gawthrop again established himself in con- ference basketball, placed second in scoring, and was placed on several all-conference and all-state teams. Barner and Stewart, who proved to be high-scoring men in the Wichita lineup, also were placed on mythical post-season teams. At the close of the season, varsity players again selected Gawthrop as co-captain to serve next season with Cal Stewart. Both men are from Sumner County high schools. Eleven members of the frosh squad fulfilled time qualifications for cage numerals. They were Mevli Curry, Melvin Radcliff, Overton Glen, and Kenneth LaFever, forwards: Ross Dennison and Don Platt, centersg and Iames Cope, Dale Neelly, Bill Steward, Nick Stevens, and Bob Tinney, guards. 1937 BASKETBALL RECORD Opponent Wichita Dec. 12 at U. of Okla. ....... ......... 3 6 27 Dec. 17 at St. Louis U. ....... .......... 2 6 24 Dec. 19 at Washburn ...... .......... 2 7 25 Dec. 23 Drake U. ........... ......... 3 8 42 Ian. 2 at Colo.

Teams representing the fraternities of Phi Up- silon Sigma, Men of Webster, Alpha Gamma Gamma, Pi Alpha Pi, Scabbard and Blade, and the Barbs were in the basketball race along with the Filial Flames, Gridsters, Indians, Foreigners, and the Colored All-Stars. Two divisions of teams were organized and games began being played early in Ianuary. Monday and Thursday nights were reserved for the respective divisions with special contests held over for preliminaries to varsity games. By the last week of February both divisions were completed, with the Filial Flames winning over Alpha Gamma Gamma for the right to meet the defending champion Gridsters. Two weeks before the Filial Flames had Won from the former undefeated Men of Webster squad in a freak 30 to 3 game. The final game was a feature event preceding the varsity's game with Ft. Hays State. The two teams presented lineups with colorful names ac- quired during the season's competition. One- punch Moore, Three-star Nash, Ruffen-ready Fulton, Skeeter Brill, Shorty Slmpson, Ripper Niehage, and Toots Smith composed the Grid- ster lineup. The roster of the Filial Flames fea- tured One-lung Iohnson, Flat-foot Marsh, E191 Flash Bevin, Blond Terror lack Armour, Shrimp Ross, Al Dip Angulo, and Muscles lim Armour. The Gridsters won by a score of 23-19 to capture the cup for the second consecu- tive year. However, intramural activities lagged following the close of the basketball season. The annual track meet was postponed several times in March because of cold weather. Varsity activities in April caused an additional postponement until after the Drake Relays. Another annual activity sponsored by Intra- mural Director F. Nordy Hoffmann is the softball competition which is held during the closing week of the spring semester. W'ith the completion of the new gymnasium the men's physical education department will be able to carry out an expanded intramural program during the 1937-38 school year, Coach Gebert said. The lack of adequate facilities this year, because of construction of the new gym, has made it difficult to further an intensive program. I In the expanded program will be many new activities which we have not had in previous years. Among the new sports will be handball, made possible by three new courts in the gym. Other sports scheduled for the coming season are basket- ball, boxing, wrestling, volleyball, ping-pong, and indoor baseball. ln addition to these will be the outdoor schedule which will include touch football, softball, tennis, and track. CINDERS Shocker athletes again participated in a full season of track and field competition this spring led by F. Nordy Hoffmann, head track coach. Mark Watson, last season's track captain, was added to the staff as assistant to Coach Hoffmann. Glenn Nye and Gerhardt Eikermann headed the team as co-captains and formed the nucleus for the squad. They were aided by Stanley Dia- mond and Philip Kaiser, hurdlers, Herbert Schlot- thauer, dash man, and Buck Iones, pole vaulter. These men formed the group which went to the Kansas relays. . A dual meet held by Hays was the opening event of the track season. Hays won lU7 2X3 to 231!2, although Eikermann was high point man for the afternoon, taking firsts with the discus and shot put and a third with the javelin. Schlot- thauer, Nye, Diamond, and Ralph Burford placed in their special events. While serving as hosts to the Sterling team on the local field the following week, the Shockers took a close victory from the visiting school by 69lf3 to 6l2!3. The feature of the meet was a special 880-yard relay event in which the vic- torious Shocker frosh team, composed of Robert Christian, Ralph Warne, Harold Priddle, and lames Farrow, was entered. A triangular meet with Southwestern and Friends was held in Wich- ita late in April, preceding the Central Conference meet at Emporia. Coach Hoffmann also took the mile relay team, composed of Nye, Diamond, Schlotthauer, and Kaiser, to the annual Drake Relays last month. Although they saw little service in out-of-town meets, there were other outstanding men on the team and several more improved with additional experience. Other members of the squad included larnes Andrews and Maurice Boyd, distance men, Keith Fulton, weights, Thaine Pickett, Iohn Harsha, Albert Nelson, Perry Pelley, Robert Campbell, and Martin Iohnson. ln addition to the regular team, the freshman squad was composed of Sidney Martin, Dale Cook, Roy Douthett, and Robert Hegler. . . . . lfalfk IZNTUCES ITIOTC LlUCI1,l1l0Il . . . .

Tennis and golf occupied much interest during the spring sports season. At left is Bill Brinnon in action on the recently completed cement tennis courts. His opponent was Harry Corbin. Pictured at top center is the tennis squad composed of Cfront rowl Harry Corbin, Eugene Morgan, Stanley Diamond, Bill Brinnon, George Hinkle, fback row?

At the right is Dick Price taking a practice swing on the Crestview course. lTl-l one letterman available, the Shocker tennis team was greatly handicapped dur- ing the l937 competition. Headed by Bill Brinnon, captain, the team took on opponents weekly during the last two months of this semester. The initial encounter of the University tennis season resulted in a 5 to 1 victory over the Kansas State College at Manhattan. The Shockers took each singles match, but split with the Kansas Aggies in doubles. Captain Brinnon beat Eckart, George Hinkle defeated Foreman, Clark Ahlberg defeated Godfrey, and Morris Carpenter won over Foot in singles play. A trip to Norman, Okla., was made the follow- ing week. There the team played the University of Oklahoma. The undefeated Sooner team, led by Bill Martin, swept through all six matches for a 6 to U victory over the University squad. Eugene Morgan replaced Hinkle for the Oklahoma play. lt was customary during the spring sports sea- son for the golf and tennis teams to travel to- gether as they engaged in dual meets at the various schools throughout this section of the country. The two groups were under the direc- tion of Athletic Director Albert l. Gebert, who arranged a well rounded sports schedule in these fields. l2ll ACK of experienced men placed this year's golf team at a disadvantage. Only Dick Price and Charles Black remained from the Central Conference championship team of 1936. Bob Watt, lulian Buser, and lim Armour, all lacking previous intercollegiate competition, completed the team. Under these conditions the squad did not hope for such a strictly victorious season as the champion- ship teams of the last two seasons had enjoyed. The first play of the season was with Kansas State. An easy victory resulted with Captain Price turning in low score while winning over Hays, the Aggies' top man. Watt defeated l-locker, Black defeated Kellogg, and Buser won over Wesches to complete the matches which were played on a windy afternoon at Crestview. However, the tables were turned the following week at the University of Oklahoma. The Shock- ers lost every match to a Big Six group in rounds played on the Twin Hills course at Oklahoma City. Other schools scheduled for the Shocker golfers included Emporia Teachers College, Washburn College, and the University of Kansas. The sea- son's climax was reached in the annual Central Conference play the day before the annual C. I. A. C. track and field meet. FEMININTTY IN ATHLETICS lncluding all women's sports, both in active and theoretical phases, the women's physical educa- tion department of the University presented this year an array of activities for upper and under classrnen. The department is under the direction of Gladys Taggart, director, and Evelyn Hinton. Both are widely known in this district for their work in physical education and women's sports. Classes offered by them included hockey, tennis and badminton, golf, swimming, dancing, basketball, archery, and horseback riding. A The Women's Athletic Association was active this year in giving University women an oppor- tunity for extra-curricular sports, and participated in local and state-wide events. Officers for the group were Betty Gensch, president, Barbara La Rue Engle, vice president, lda Nelle Barnhart, secretary: Margaret lones, treasurer: and Dorothy Strickland, recorder of points. The organization was hostess to the state W. A. A. convention last October. Approximately 200 delegates from 22 Kansas schools attended. Miss Gensch, state president, presided at all busi- ness meetings tsee opposite pagel and social functions during the two-day meet. Beulah Bar- rett was general chairman for the occasion. Act- Sports Directors Taggart and Hinton ing directly under the W. A. A. was the Intra- mural Council, which had charge of all women's intramural sports. Headed by Marguerite Mc- Cluer, it was composed of a representative from each sorority and the Barbs. V Social functions of the association included mixed co-recreational playnights, the annual party for freshmen women, a dinner in December clos- ing the hockey and badminton seasons, a spread and skate sponsored by the rifle squad, and the playday in the spring given for prospective Uni- versity students. The season was climaxed by the annual spring formal banquet, when the new offi- cers were installed and final awards given. . . . . stress extra-curricular activities . . . . Furthering advancement in women's sports is the board of the W0men's Athletic Association composed of Cseatedt Margaret Jones, Marguerite McCluer, Betty Censch, Evelyn Hinton, advisor, Mary Evelyn Brincefield, Cstandingl Alice Jane Brown, Audine Belford, Barbara LaRue Engle, Beulah Barrett, and Ruth Hinman. Not pictured are Aileen Calkins, Ida Nelle Barnhart, Mary Harrison, and Vivian Melcher. 23 OMEN'S sports were off to a good start last year with field hockey the first sport to be scheduled on the calendar. The outstanding event of the hockey season was the interclass tourna- ment played in November. It was won by the sophomores. Other highlights were the hockey play day during the W. A. A. state meet and the game in which the Welsh team played the Wich- ita Hockey Club. The University varsity played and won matches with the Friends University team and the alumnae varsity on Homecoming Day. Proving a popular innovation to the campus was BADMINTON . . . which was played during the late fall months. The intersociety tournament was won by Martha Barrett, who also won the PING PONG . . . tournament later in the season, and which was on an intersociety basis like its predecessor in miniature tennis. With Mary Harrison as W. A. A. manager, the University SWIMMERS . . . entered the state meet in April held at the Elks Club pool. Although competing in the state tourney, the contest was also an intramural sport for the local organizations. This event is an intercol- legiate match sponsored by the University of Kansas. A life saving class, not given last year, was offered this spring. The swimming classes, taught by Gladys Taggart, director of women's physical education, provided an opportunity for all girls who had not learned to swim. Each team entered in the annual VOLLEYBALL . . . tournament played six matches. The Vandals won the final decision. As an intramural activity it was one of the chief winter sports. A mixed volleyball play night, in which Club and W. A. A. members participated, was held last Ianuary. Following volleyball in the schedule was BASKETBALL . . . played during the early spring months. The University cagewomen won the two matches played with Friends University. Coming as an- other of the intramural sports, a round robin tournament was held in March. The Delta Omega sorority was victor. Also active during the school year were UNIVERSITY ARCHERS . . . with the Archery Club which was organized early in the fall. A constitution was adopted and Irene Box was e l e cte d president. Mary Margaret Schroeder was chosen secretary-treasurer and Phyllis Powell, publicity manager. Rosemary Ridings headed the central committee. Members of the club participated in local tournaments. The club sponsored a weekly craft hour when archers learned to make their own bows and other equip- I24l ment. With the archery classes, the group en- tered one telegraphic meet and during May par- ticipated in the annual Intercollegiate Tournament. For the first time, members of the various archery classes had access daily in the winter to an indoor range and were thus able to enter the Intercollegiate Winter Archery Meet. Proving to be more popular than ever before was HORSEBACK RIDING . . . with the department offering four classes, two be- ginners' classes at the Bridle and Saddle Club, and the advanced classes at the National Guard stables. Advanced students particularly studied ring riding and jumping. Pegasus, the riding club, was reorganized this year with Betsy Tatlock head- ing the group. Picnic rides were sponsored reg- ularly by the equestriennes. The spring show, highlight of the University riding season, was held in May. One of the outstanding extra- curricular sports was RIFLE . . . which began immediately after the Thanksgiving holidays. Following intensive practice, the rifle team went to Booneville, Mo., last March to enter the Midwest Indoor Gallery Meet at Kemper Mil- itary Academy. The University team took second place. Barbara Engle was captain of the squad this year, with Alice lane Brown as manager. Prior to the Kemper trip, approximately 75 girls out for rifle participated in four telegraphic matches with universities in all parts of the country. Cli- maxing the spring season were the three major activities of GOLF, TENNIS, and BASEBALL . . . which were either on an intramural or an inter- class basis. Although golf is primarily a fall and spring sport, practices were held by members of the class during the winter in the women's gymnasium. Their annual tourney was held in April. In tennis the three annual tournaments took place, the free-for-all and intramural: the be- ginners, with Catherine Dedrick managing, and mixed doubles, with Vivian Melcher as manager. Tennis and its various forms were played through- out the year. In the annual baseball contest a team from each class participated. Martha Bar- rett was manager for the sport. One of the most important activities of University women in the physical education department is DANCING . . . with classes in dance technique, dance forms, folk dancing, and clogging. Professional and teachers' dancing classes, under Mrs. Alice Campbell Wrigley, with Mrs. Hildegarde Lewis as instructor, are given in the College of Fine Arts. Orchesis, dance sorority, has figured prominently in Uni- versity events this year by presenting a state- wide dance symposium, its annual spring recital, and by presenting the May Fete. R. CD. T. C.

Lewis Sergeant Francis McCarty E261 1 OWE ALLEGIANCE TO .... To awaken in the student an appreciation of the obligations of citizenship, to prepare him to dis- charge his duties as a citizen, and to qualify him as a military leader - - - this is the mission of the Beserve Officers' Training Corps as outlined by the United States government. The super- vision here this year was under the command of Lt. Col. Robert H. Barrett, who was aided by Maj. Martin D. McAllister, Capt. Harry L. Lewis, and Serg. Francis McCarty, all officers of the United States Army. Less than two months before the Armistice, the Students' Army Training Corps was established at Fairmount College on September 18, 1918, by Capt. William P. O'Neill, Cavalry, with 212 students. Two months later, Lt. Col. Oscar I-Ioop, Infantry, arrived to become the school's first professor of military science and tactics. Since then the size of the unit has steadily increased. Colonel Barrett, Infantry, assumed duties of commandant of the University of Wichita R. O. T. C. on August 14, 1936, relieving Lt. Col. George W. Price, who was transferred to Fort Howard, Maryland, after six years of continuous duty here. Colonel Barrett came to Wichita from Fort Hayes, Ohio, where he commanded the First Battalion of the Tenth Infantry. A native of Virginia, Colonel Barrett was edu- cated at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He is a graduate of the Advanced Course and the In- fantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia, the Com- mand and General Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and is carried on the General Staff Corps Eligible List. Colonel Barrett entered the regular army as a second lieutenant in 1913, and has served on the Mexican border C1914-19151, in the Philippines C1915-19175, and with the 26th Division in France H918-19195. ' Major McAllister was transferred here from Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, on February 22, 1936. He attended Texas A. Sf M. before en- tering the army and served with the Second Divi- sion overseas from February to August, 1918. He is also a graduate of the Infantry School at Fort Benning, the Command and General Staff School, and is on the General Staff Corps Eligible List. Captain Lewis was graduated from Tennessee Military Institute in 1911 and entered the army from the University of Pennsylvania. He saw service in the Philippine Constabulary H913-171, the Panama Canal Zone C1922-25, 1928-315 and came to the University from Fort George Wright, Washington, on june 29, 1935. Sergeant McCarty was assigned to duty here September 1, 1933 and has charge of the care of government property and records. He entered the f27l service in 1911, and with the exception of a short period at the Cavalry Officers' School at Camp Stanley, Texas, during the war, has spent his 25 years of duty in the Infantry. A native of this state, he holds a reserve commission with the rank of major in the Adjutant General's Department. Enrollment in the local R. O. T. C. is not com- pulsory as is training in land grant colleges. This year 374 students received training in the unit which is organized as a battalion of four com- panies, each composed of three platoons. Cadet officers command each company and the band. For six years the local school has been awarded the blue star at the annual federal inspection con- ducted by corps area officials. The star is sym- bolic of the highest rating of excellent and is a goal for which all in the unit strive. Shortly be- fore the end of school, the annual company and individual competition is held at which time awards are made to the best company, squad, and individuals of each class. This is climaxed with a battalion parade. Each company in the unit is rated monthly as to its efficiency. To the winning company goes the designation of Honor Company and a gold streamer for the company's guidon. The rating is based upon drill attendance and inspection of equipment. Heretofore, the band has won the honor twice and Company C once. Members of the first year Advanced Class are required to attend a six-weeks summer camp which is held at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. While there they receive instruction on the infantry weapons, fire the service rifle, pistol, automatic rifle, and machine gun, perform scouting and pa- trolling, and carry out principles studied in class. This year Colonel Barrett has been appointed senior camp instructor and Major McAllister his assigant. Sergeant McCarty will be acting ser- geant major of the camp. Range instruction for this year has been under the supervision of Major McAllister who has greatly improved the efficiency and firing condi- tions of the small bore range. Each first year advanced man must qualify before going to camp but all R. O. T. C. men are eligible to receive instruction. This year class teams fired in corps area matches. The women's rifle team placed sec- ond in the meet at the Kemper Military Academy. Several members of last year's graduating class are now on one year's active duty with regular troops under the provision of the Thomason Act. Lt. Elmer Zelsman and Lt. Edwin Miller are with the 17th Infantry at Fort Crook, Nebraska: Lt. john Haas is stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, with the Second Cavalry, and Lt. Robert Colver is at the Chemical Warfare School at Edgewood Arse- nal, Maryland. SCABBARD AND BLADE O F F I C E R S Glen A.

The National Society of Scabbard and Blade, only military fraternity recognized by the War Department, was founded at the University of Wis- consin during the school year of l905-06. Purpose was to further the cause and interest of military training among college students. lt slowly spread to the campi of other midwest colleges. lt has 82 chapters with more than 25,000 members. ln seven years the local company has initiated 94 cadets into active membership and l4 promi- nent officers into associate memberships. For the first time this year the chapter inaugu- rated an award of a medal given to outstanding basic course students of the unit, The award, made on a competitive basis, was given during the annual spring competition. North Carolina State College was host to the Twentieth Biennial Convention held November l8- 2l at Raleigh. Delegate of the Wichita company was its captain, Glen Soderstrom. This year F-7 entered the National Society's rifle competition, firing against teams from more than 30 schools.

Advised by Leo W. Allman, head of the journalism depart- ment, it has never failed to win high recognition in contests it has entered. Throughout the year the paper boosted important University events. It played up the story of Phi Upsilon Sigma's withdrawal from the Shocker coalition, rampages of the Purple Cross, Barb's withdrawal from the E321 coalition, opening of the student Commons and Auditorium, proposed amendment to the Student Council constitution, and the Student Council and other elections. Sunflowers are distributed to every student as provided by the activity ticket. Many University alumni, some in far corners of the world, receive the Sunflower regularly. Pic- tured above are George Leber, first-semester man- aging editor and second-semester editor: Ruth Garvey, business manager, and Iames T. Lee, first-semester editor and second-semester man- aging editor, of the official school publication. Tl-TE FOURTH ESTATE . . lt is apparent that as the years advance college newspapers continue to occupy a more prom- inent place in the affairs of a university. That is true not only here, but at other leading educa- tional institutions. And with this increase of both popularity and prestige The Fourth Estate, as far as budding journalists are concerned, becomes increasingly vital. lt is with this in mind that college editors manage the publication of their newspapers. During the past 12 months many changes in the college press have become evident, and to some extent this has been noticed on a national scale. ln the first place, college reporters, as well as editors, have developed to some degree a dif- ferent technique of presenting the news. lt is done by interpretation. ln the future the feeling may soon no longer be to give just the facts of a situ- ation, but also explain the so-called five This change, some say, was accelerated during last year's presidential election when Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Alf M. Landon, Kansas gov- ernor, by an overwhelming majority despite the fact that nearly 90 per cent of the newspapers throughout the nation were against him. Thus it becomes apparent that the editorial page is slip- ping into the news columns, not as editorial com- ment, but as strictly interpretative writing. Paralleling this change is the continued wide- spread use of pictures. lllustrations have veri- tably jumped to the front. ln step with the times, the Sunflower has its own photographic laboratory. Few college newspapers have such an advan- tageous setup. With all available facilities for speedy and accurate news photos, the University publication has been able to present pictorially more events in a more interesting way. The Sunflower was founded in 1896 by W. S. Fleming. At the time of its origin it was a monthly publication and carried news, features, essays, and poetry. lt was changed in l9U7 by Ftoy I. Kirk into a weekly with more up-to-date news and less essay and poetry material. I-Xt present it is a weekly publication. The paper this year was edited during the first semester by james T. Lee and during the second semester by George Leber. By way of improve- ment, it has added more pictures, more distinctive styles of makeup, and Paragon type. lt has re- tained the rotogravure and college news services, Although several news agencies are maintained, the Sunflower is devoted chiefly to local news which is always given preference. The Sunflower is one of the oldest papers of its kind in the state. Editing of the paper is done by the junior editing class, with reporting by the sophomore journalism class. t Q F .vrlitvrl hrlrzf and utvll . .

Members of the Board of Student Publications, who make recommendations concerning matters of policy of the campus press, are fseatedl Ruth Garvey, juniorg Mary Elsie Reser, sophomore, Fradene Goldstein, freshman, Cstandingl Frank Malone, seniorg Max Milhourn, junior, Edmond Jacoby, freshman, and Bob Keller, sophomore. Mary Alice Naramore, senior, is not shown. CTIVELY engaged in supervising all student publications is the Board of Student Publica- tions advised by Leo W. Allman, head of the journalism department. Roy W. Elliott, Comptrol- ler, is the business advisor, and Albert Croft, pro- fessor and head of the sociology department, is chairman. President W. M. Iardine is an ex-officio member. With a setup of eight student members, two from each class, the board functions as the most powerful elected body, next to that of the Student Council. As a recommender concerning matters of policy, it has the authority to make all staff selections for both the Sunflower and Parnassus, and sanctions contracts and business of the Tom- Tom, student literary magazine. Members of the board are either elected or appointed for four-year terms and are subject to removal only for neglect of duty, incapabilities, or withdrawal from the University. Each year dur- ing the regular freshman class election at the beginning of school a member of the board is chosen with other freshman officers. Within a short time University administrative officials select a second member from that class, thus keeping eight persons continually on the body. As to its matter of policy, that can best be re- flected with the quality of publications produced f34l in the journalism and related departments. For the past four years the Sunflower has ranked top among college and university newspapers throughout the United States. This year has been no exception. For the first time in three years, however, the board received a reversal of decision from a higher authority. That was when the board unanimously approved advertising for the Tom- Tom under special provisions. Because of objec- tions, President lardine ruled that the literary magazine would carry no advertising, but would receive its revenue partly from the University, the remainder to be made up from sales of the issues. During the past year the board has considered, but taken no definite action, on Cll abolishing ad- vertising from the Parnassus and consolidating it with that of the Sunflower, thus taking a University product out of a competitive advertising field and giving more revenue to the student newspaper, and C25 the possible organization of staffs if Mr. Allman should decide upon changing the Sun- flower from its present size to that of a magazine size newspaper appearing twice each week. Although the board is composed of various political units within the school, it functions as a unit free from party prejudices, realizing that bet- ter staffs mean better publications. PARNASSUStafi Climaxing a year of strenuous effort and in- finite planning is the l937 issue of Parnassus. This edition is the finest product in yearbooks obtainable for money expended. To the under- graduate it should bring a field day of happiness in dreaming of improvement for the coming year, but to the seniors it is a reminiscence of joyful days that can be relived only through the pages of this book. As they thumb through its pages- ZU, 30, or maybe 50 years from now-they will be able to mentally live their college life again. That is one reason for connecting by so-called headlines on division pages what yearbook editors considered outstanding topics of national interest With what they believed equally important topics of related local interest. So, like fine wine, the book will increase in value as the years go by. Editing of the book was under the direction of Max Milbourn, who was assisted by a staff of ten, including seven editors, two photographers, and a cartoonist. Curtis Astle, former Kansas State College student, was business manager. For the first time he perfected an advertising mer- chandising plan for the yearbook which was most instrumental in insuring the book's financial suc- cess. Leo W. Allman, advisor to all student pub- lications as Well as head of the journalism de- partment, and the Board of Student Publications, supervised the yearbook following selection of the Parnassus staff last spring. Parnassus adopted its name from that of the legendary mountain, the home of the, Muses. lt was first published in l889. . . . . their product is t1iel937 Parnassus . . . . Efforts of these ll persons, plus cooperation of University organizations, made possible the publication of this year's Parnassus.

FUTURE SCBSISTERS POTENTIAL NEWSMEN ATBIX, honorary journalism sorority, was founded on March l5, i929 as a social or- ganization which incorporates the purpose of furthering interest in journalism among women students of the University. An annual affair at which members of Matrix are hostesses is the rush tea held this year in the home of Mrs. R. M. Gouldner. To be eligible for pledging a girl must have successfully com- pleted one semester's work in the journalism department. This year l2 girls were pledged to the sorority at services preceding an informal spread held in the Sorosis house. Other social activities included breakfast meetings, informal suppers, and picnics with Colophon. First-semester officers were Ruth Bryant, pres- ident: Maryan Earl, vice presidentg Kathleen Hite, secretary-treasurer, Phyllis Powell, social chair- man, and Betty Behmer, reporter. Second-semester officers are Miss Powell, president, Miss Hite, vice presidentg Laura Howard, secretary-treasurer, and Lois Carpenter, social chairman. Mrs. Leo W. Allman is sponsor for the group.

Allman is not shown. He was busy tak- ing the picture. OLOPHON, honorary journalism fraternity, was organized in l93l to promote a closer relationship among men of the journalism de- partment. The group is sponsored by Leo W. All- man, of the journalism department, and this year was headed by Max Milbourn, first-semester, and Mark Watson, second-semester presidents. Breakfast meetings at 6:30 a. m. were held at two-week intervals throughout the year. Programs consisted usually of informal shop discussions. Members of Colophon boast that theirs was the first morning meeting held in the Commons. The group has been true to its ideal of fostering good fellowship by sponsoring frequent entertainments in addition to its regular meetings. A highlight of the group's social season was the annual spring joint meeting with Matrix. This year, for the first time, a key was adopted by the group as its offi- cial emblem. Pledges are designated as cubs and become active in the chapter only after holding a staff position for at least one period on a school publication. ln addition, prospective pledges must be at least a sophomore and a major or minor in the department. NAND I HAVE SHOWN . . . Records of accomplishment and work well done are two major things University debaters point to with pride this spring after a full nine-months work under the direction of Carl D. England, assistant professor of speech. Early in the year Roy Lane Rogers, Stanley Dia- mond, George Schnugg, Albert Croft, and Bob Schneider represented the University at the Stu- dent Legislature in Topeka. Mr. Rogers served as floor leader for the Republican minority party. They debated important issues and passed or rejected bills with speed seldom possessed by a democratic body. First-year debaters, Margaret Craig, Robert Baird, Don Small, Edmond lacoby, Betty Bill Ro- migh, and Mr. Croft, went to Hutchinson to a debate tournament with that city and Bethel. The question was the Pi Kappa Delta choice: That congress should be empowered to fix maximum wages and minimum hours for industry. Then there was a series of debates with Kansas State before luncheon clubs. These were on the question: Should Kansas adopt a system of old age pensions? Messrs. Malone, Rogers, Diamond, and Leroy Warner journeyed to Denver about February l5 to attend the University of Denver Experimental Speech Conference. Book reviews supplanted oratory and panel discussions replaced conven- tional extemporaneous speaking contests there. Of 55 teams entered, Wichita ranked fourth in excellence. Mr. Malone and Mr. Diamond were defeated in the quarter-finals by the University of Southern California, the tournament winner. ln three rounds of panel discussion Malone was twice judged best and once second-best. Diamond took one first and two seconds. The same group of speakers discussed the ques- tion of hours and wages before the Clifton Club here at an open forum. The women debated at a tournament sponsored by the University of Iowa. Miss Craig and Dorothy Ann Nichols won the last two of four debates. The other team, Avanelle Clark and Frances Berkowitz, defeated the iowa debaters. Otho Wood had charge of radio debating, par- ticipating with Mr. Baird over Radio Station KSAC, Manhattan, on the question of a 30-hour week for industry. VVichita's opponent was Kansas State which held a return debate over Radio Sta- tion KFH on Kansas old age pensions. Wichita was represented by Mr. Iacoby and Mr. Onsgard. Mr. Wood also arranged debates with the Uni- versity of Arkansas and the University of Kansas on the question of the extension of cooperatives, Mr. Malone and Mr. Rogers participated. An experiment in panel discussions was tried over Radio Station KANS with Messrs. Rogers, Schooler, Schnugg, and Tontz presenting differ- ent viewpoints of the Supreme Court reform issue. The season closed with a convocation debate with K. U. An increased appropriation for next year insures participation for more students with more schools. . . . . conlroverted major issues . . . . During tlte year pressing current problems were hotly debated, but never quite settled by fseatedl Bob Schneider, Otlio Wood. Zoe Bailey, Henry Onsgard, Jr., Carl D. England, coacli, Margaret Craig, Albert Croft, Danny Tnntz, and Stanley Diamond. Those standing are Robert Baird, Roy Lane Rogers, Frank Malone, and Fertl Evans. THEATER .. -it -:im Footliqhts The University stage has held an entirely dit- terent meaning this year following the formal ini- tial presentation of There's Always Iuliet on December 7. Betty Neely and Clifford Hunt had leads in the romantic satire of English customs and traditions. Others in the cast were Marie Weigand and Charles Yazel, who makes love to Miss Neely flower leiti. Following this play was Double Door, presented late last February flower T38l rightl. Mary Elsie Reser played the role of the tyrannical head of the Van Bret family. Kathryn Lansdowne was the younger sister. Other prom- inent parts were taken by Virginia Marsh, Gene Setzer, and Raelph Harding, The remaining mem- bers of the cast were Ruth Williams, Dorothy Ann Nichols, George Batka, Stanley Hamilton, Murray Smith, lim Winters, and Otho Wood. At the top is a first-nighter crowd attending the performance of Double Door. Throughout the year University productions were well received.

ECOGNTZTNG the talent of five outstanding University diamatics students, the National Council of Pi Epsilon Delta accepted Eleanor Martin, Betty Neely, Mary Margaret Schroeder, Clifford Hunt, and Hample Fairleigh for member- ship this spring, The national honorary dramatic fraternity, under whose management the University plays are presented, was founded in l9l9. A chapter was established on the campus in l935. At the time of installation this was the only municipal university that was deemed by the National Collegiate Players as having advanced far enough in the field of dramatic art. Gertrude lohnson, executive secretary of the national organization, said, One of the principal factors that induced the national organization to go in for a chapter at the University of Wichita was the fact that your University has Prof. George D. Wilner at the head of your dramatic arts depart- ment. We find that he has ideals, ideas, and plans for the future quite in keeping with our aims. This fall Mr. Wilner presented There's Always Iuliet, a current Broadway success. As the ex- change play with the University of Kansas, the 391 production attracted much attention on the campus there. Allen Crafton, head of the K. U. speech department, said that the play was undoubtedly the best amateur performance to be given in Kansas this season. On April l and 2 the department was host to the first conference of Kansas dramatic coaches. lnvitations were extended to the heads and teachers of speech and dramatic departments of all Kansas colleges, including all junior colleges throughout the state. Climaxing the conference the University of Kansas Players presented Land's End. The University Players sponsored the three major productions of the year and helped at various conferences. Early last fall those whose activity made them eligible for membership were pledged. At that time Mr. Hunt, Ruth Williams, Miss Bryant, Miss McEwen, Mr. Diamond, Dorothy Ann Nichols, Frances Catlin, Phil Pennington, and Gene Setzer were accepted. Preparatory work for entrance into Pi Epsilon Delta is done by the University Players group. Actual management of the plays is done under supervision of those in the national organization.

ETA Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, na- tional honorary scout fraternity, was installed at the University of Wichita on Ianuary 31, 1937 marking the beginning of a new era for the or- ganization, formerly known as the Scouters' Club. Initiated were 25 students and six faculty ad- visors as charter members of the society. The installation ceremony, held in the lounge ot the Commons, was conducted by H. Roe Bartle, na- tional president, and George H. Charno, member of the national executive board and legal advisor. Both men were from Kansas City, Missouri. As- sisting them were Harold H. Baker, Wichita scout executive, Ralph E. Graves, alumnus and past president of Lambda Chapter, and C. W. Page, alumnus and former head of Alpha Mu chapter. Advisors of the local organization are Cecil B. Read, assistant professor of mathematics: Dr. L. Hekhuis, dean of the College of Liberal Arts: Dr. Clinton C. McDonald, head of the department of botany and bacteriologyg Dr. Clement H. Sievers, assistant professor in psychology: and I. M. Iewett, instructor in geology.

Purpose of the organization as stated in the national constitution shall be to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship, and to promote service to humanity. In a letter, published in Torch and Trefoil, offi- cial chapter publication, Mr. Bartle said, l was gratified to see how the men of Beta Alpha Chap- ter at the University of Wichita have already moulded for themselves a firm place in the cam- pus life of that University. Members not pictured above are Richard H. Wade, Lewis Riley, Charles Yazel, and Owen Bale. U CLUB 'L .... 'Varieties' is the spice of life ....

Members of the club pictured ffirst rowl are Lucey Cawthrop, Quanah Fields, Jake Ogden, Ray DeHun, Keith Fulton.

Tromer Smith, Orville Ward, Reiny Niehage, Delbert Moore, Ray McCune, Maurice Martin, Ray Kaufman, Willard Johnson, and Harry Corbin. S the name suggests, membership in the W Club is limited to men who have earned the University letter through participation in some form of athletics. However, lettermen do not auto- matically belong to the organization. Membership is elective, but the applicant must submit to initiation. The Club, which is patterned after the Monogram Club of Notre Dame, is chartered by the University, and held its first meeting at Hol- yoke Hall in the spring of l936. For its principal activity this year the club pro- duced the Varsity Varieties which featured an all-male cast with a dancing chorus of ten husky lettermen. A queen, designated as Za Zu, was chosen for the affair, lmpersonated by Stanley Diamond, she arrived on the campus by bus and was greeted by University officials as well as students and Club brothers. The Varsity Varieties, played before large audiences on April 20 and 21, was conceived and directed by F. Nordy Hoffmann of the men's ath- letic department. Music for the production was written by Dorothy Strickland, with lyrics by f48l Coach Hoffmann. For two months Club members practiced the skits which dealt with campus life and prominent students. University students aided materially in writing skits for the production, and as a result the play was not only the product of one organization, but actually it represented the combined efforts of many individuals. This was the first time such a production has been staged on the campus. Because of the success of the initial showing of Varsity Varieties, sponsors and organizers are working to make this an annual campus event. A social activity of the Club was the dance at which members and their guests were enter- tained at the Crestview Country Club. initiation was held this spring for first-letter men. Earl Vore, former May Chancellor, was the W Club's first president. Other officers chosen at that time included Leonard Dugan, vice presi- dent: Mark Watson, secretary: and Paul Randels, treasurer. Coach Hoffmann is honorary president of the organization. This year's officers are Glenn Nye, president, Keith Fulton, vice presidentg Mark Watson, secretaryp and Dick Price, treasurer. Y. W. C. A.

A. this year has made an earnest effort to provide for social, moral, and spiritual advance- ment plus intellectual development, and has functioned as a unified approach to friendship based on a common realization of spiritual Value. The organization's outstanding project toward this goal was the successful formation of a new lodge, the H. Y. M., or Him, You, and Me, composed of the 21 Y. W. cabinet members and 21 selected men, all influential campus leaders. Aims of the new group are to further fellowship among students and the University faculty, to form the nucleus of the Student Christian Movement on the campus which will grow out of the present Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A., to interest men in the Estes Student Conference, and to carry the spirit of H. Y. M. into other organizations. The 42 members met once each month for a dinner meet- ing. Each was followed by informal and stimulating group discussions. Grace Wilkie, dean of women and Y. W. C. A. sponsor, Dr. lohn Rydjord, and Dr. Earle B. Davis were named H. Y. M. sponsors. The Y. W. C. A. cabinet has sponsored many all- school functions to foster closer friendship among University women. Further developed was the campus-sister movement. E491 Important on the year's program were teas at the beginning of each semester honoring incoming freshmen and the freshman and all-school mixers held with the Y. M. C. A. during the first week of school. An informal get-together which proved popular was the Chile Bean, an evening luncheon for all girls in school. Alice M. Isely, who for many years has taken active interest in the development of the Y. W. C. A., was named an honorary life member of the organization at a tea held in her honor. lt was through the combined efforts of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. that the Hippodrome, Thanks- giving, Christmas, and Easter convocations were made possible. Eleven delegates from the University chapter were sent to the Estes Student Conference lune 5-15, 1936, held under the auspices of the Student Christian Movement of the Rocky Mountain Region. Officers for the 1935-37 terms were Mary Cies, president, Virginia Alford, vice president, Virginia Marsh, secretary, and Betty Gensch, treasurer. On April 14 the new officers, who served the remainder of the year and who will remain in office until April of next year, were installed. They are Beulah Barrett, presidenty Virginia Marsh, vice presidentg Phyllis Powell, secretary, and lune lllgner, treasurer. CREATIVE WRITING CLUB 3359 flu Q WFP . . . . literary talent under cultivation . . . . Organized to further interest in the field of writing are fseatedi Marjorie Catlin, Lillian Parks, Dorulliy llutson, Laura lloward, Phyllis Powell, Barbara LaRue Engle, lstandingl Marguerite Cleary, Dr. Earle R. Davis, Thadene Hedges, Maryan Earl, Floyd Snitz, Christine Calhoun, Mark Clutter, Dorothea Jenson, Max Millmuru, and Lucille Howard. O stimulate student interest in writing, to obtain lecturers who have been successful in literary and kindred fields, and to publish a magazine devoted to student effort at the University with the idea of assisting students to write for publication, were the main reasons for organizing the Creative Writing Club here last spring. Last fall the group was successful in publishing the initial issue of the University magazine, Tom- Tom, under supervision of the Board of Student Publications, Mark Clutter, junior, and Max Mil- bourn, junior, served as editor and business man- ager respectively. Twenty-four poems, short stories, and articles written by University students ap- peared in the publication. Cecil Murdock of the art department designed the cover. Lillian Parks, senior, was editor and Floyd Snitz, senior, business manager of the second issue of Tom-Tom which appeared during the second semester of this year. Queried as to Why the Tom-Tom? editors stated in the first issue that it has been estimated that fully 90 per cent of all college students have a yen to become writers. Of this group only a few leave college with the ability to express them- selves creditably in writing. The sponsors of the Tom-Tom feel that this is a serious failure on the ISOI part of schools. They believe that the ability to express thought and fancy in writing is one of the necessary assets of the cultured man or woman. The best Way to stimulate and develop the abili- ties of the youthful writer is to give him an oppor- tunity to see his work in print. For this reason the Tom-Tom makes its appearance as a University of Wichita publication. The Tom-Tom is a permanent institution. lt will be published every semester and will contain the best student fiction, articles, humor, and verse. All student writers are urged to submit contributions for approval. First officers of the Creative Writing Club who served a year were Miss Parks, president, Max Milbourn, vice president, Dorothy Hutson, secre- tary, and lack Graham, treasurer. This year's officers include Phyllis Powell, president, Marguer- ite Cleary, vice presidentg Miss Hutson, secretary, and Phil Pennington, treasurer. Bi-monthly meetings comprise the regular sched- ule of the group. Special dinner meeting speakers included Dr. I. Duncan Spaeth, president of the University of Kansas City, and Dr. lohn Fletcher Porter of Southwestern College. Faculty sponsors are Dr. Earle R. Davis and Eva Hangen of the English department. The late Marie Griffith was also associated with the organization.

E581 44 44 COMMQN ff 44 S E N S E , INCQRPORATED Editor's Note: To One-time Kansan Walter P. Chrysler, now chairman of the board of Chrysler Corporation, Parnassus pays tribute. Born in Wa- mego, Kansas, April 2, 1875, Mr. Chrysler was graduated from the Ellis, Kansas, High School and married an Ellis, Kansas, girl. At 33 he rose from a railroad n1achinist's apprentice to superintendent of motive power and machinery. The rest is history in industrial America. From along the path of suc- cess he has gathered invaluable knowledge and ex- perience. This Mr. Chrysler especially gives to University of Wichita seniors for whom he has pre- pared his editorial. IT is to you young people that America must look for the f uture development of the country. it is up to you to make something of your country and yourselves. You have a wonderful opportunity and do not believe anyone who tells you differently. There never was such a chance for up-and-coming young fellows and girls as there is today, but no one other than yourselves can de- velop the future for you. There is no stopping the progress of Ameri- ca and you young people are the most important factors in making this the kind of country it can and should be. f59l The opportunities today are as great as they ever were. l remem- ber when l was a boy of your age, people also said there were few chances for a young person who wanted to go places and get some- where. l was a poor boy and had to work hard. l did not make much money for a good many years. That, however, may be a good thing for a young fellow. l certain- ly never thought in those days that l would be the head of a great cor- poration nor that l would have the opportunity of erecting a large structure like the Chrysler Build- ing. lt just shows what you can do if you try hard. Remember that to be successful in any line of en- deavor, you have to put a real ef- fort into it. Furthermore, if you don't give something to the other fellow, you cannot expect the other fellow to help you or give you anything in return. Give of yourself, put all y o u have into your activities, whether they are sports, studies or work and you will find that your efforts will be amply repaid. So keep smiling, don't get discour- aged and always do your best. 1 We - W. A. A. 1, 2, Panhellenic, pres. 4, Orchesis 1, 2, treas. 2, Epsilon Sigma Tau 2, 3, pres. 2, French Club 2, 3, 4.

E801 t PANHELLENIC COUNCILS O regulate and unify rush activities and to lend a greater harmony to inter-sorority rela- tions on the campus, the Women's Panhellenic Council was organized. This year the council plans a complete revision of the rules which govern rushing. An additional activity of the group was the promotion and pre- sentation of the University of Kansas Men's Glee Club in a performance here. The annual Mother's Day tea is a project with which the Panhellenic Council cooperates with members of the Young Women's Christian Association. The women's council is composed of l5 members. Each of the five University sororities-Epsilon Kappa Bho, Alpha Tau Sigma, Pi Kappa Psi, Delta Omega, and Sorosis-has as its three members the sorority president, a junior representative, and a repre- sentative-at-large. Grace Wilkie, dean of women, is sponsor of the organization. First-semester officers included Virginia Alford, president, Eleanor Hannah, vice president, Frances Berkowitz, secretary, and Velma Abel, treasurer. During the second semester Max- ine Setzer was president. Other second-semester officers of the council are Marguerite McCluer, vice president: Beulah Barrett, secretary, and Kathleen Hite, treasurer. l81 Pictured at the left are the Men's and Women's Panhel- lenic Councils which regulate and supervise activities of campus fraternities and so- rorities.

In the lower pic- ture is the Men's Panhellenic Council whose members are Dr. L. Hekhuis, sponsor, Clif- ford Robinson, Victor Blur- ton, John Beebe, Grenville Darling, Elder Gunter, Dick Price, and Sherman Culbert- son. S one of its chief problems this year, the Men's Panhellenic Council sought to bring about a more complete organization among the various campus fraternities in regard to rush activities. Recently completed changes in the rush rules are the regulations that CD there shall be no sum- mer rushing, CZD rushing shall begin the week pre- ceding 'Freshman Week on the campus, C35 all rushing shall be dutch except during official Rush Week, and C45 each fraternity shall be limited to the expenditure of 60 cents per rushee during Rush Week. Plans for the adoption of a system of pledging similar to that now being used by the sororities are being made by the council.' Each fraternity has two representatives in the Pan- hellenic Council. First-semester officers of the group were Iohn Beebe, president, Victor Blurton, vice president, Grenville Darling, secretaryp and Glen Soderstrom, treasurer. Officers elected at the beginning of the second semester included Dick Price, president, Raelph Harding, vice presidentf Sherman Culbert- son, secretary, and Elder Gunter, treasurer. Dr. L. Hekhuis, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, has been faculty advisor to the group since its organization. , fn-.. .'...-,..7fL.. -Qfff .

His purpose in liie is eternal and ceaseless creation. Mr. Lieurance, dean of the College of Fine Arts, was born at Oskaloosa, lowa, on March 21, 1882. ln 1898 he was appointed chiei musician oi the 22nd Kansas lniantry. He served in the army during the Spanish-American War. After that he I 82 attended the College oi Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. Later Dean Lieurance studied under Herman Bell- stedt, iamous cornetist and bandmaster. ln l9UO he sang in the chorus oi the Castle Square Opera Company. He was married in l9l7 to Edna Woolley at Omaha, Nebraska. Liie's compelling interest has been a love of music and drama. His songs, inspired by a famil- iarity with the out-of-doors and the American Indians, have brought him greatest acclaim. His most popular composition is By the Waters of Minnetonka. J SYMPHCNIC STRINGS . . . . fills a need in music . . . . Personnel of the University Symphonic Orchestra is composed of one-third college students, one-third outside musicians, and one-third downtown division students.

HlS year there was reorganized the University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Harry K. Lamont, associate professor of violin. The personnel of the orchestra is composed of students and faculty of the College of Fine Arts, plus several leading musicians in the city. Members of the 60-piece orchestra have en- gaged in a study of standard symphonic reper- toire during the year. Two concerts have been given by the group this year. The first was held on lanuary 3l in the Auditorium. lt was the or- chestras initial public performance and was also the first public event to be held in the new build- ing. A capacity crowd of l,50U persons attended the concert. The second performance, also to be held in the Auditorium, will be given during the last week of May. The success of appearances encouraged or- ganizers of the group and justifies their conten- tion that the orchestra is already well established with Wichita music lovers. They point out that E83l it fills a need which Wichita formerly had in the musical field. ln view of this year's success, greater things are planned for next year. New talent, more concerts, and better facilities are the basis of organization next fall. The man largely responsible for the new musical unit is Mr. Lamont, a newcomer to the University this year from the Eastman School of Music where he studied and received his Master of Arts de- gree. His first venture into the field of college musical instruction was at Kansas State College, Manhattan, where he was head of the violin de- partment and conductor of the college orchestra. Later he taught at the Bradley Polytechnic Insti- tute, Peoria, lllinois, and still later at Illinois Wes- leyan University. His early study was under Guy Herbert Woodard, concert master of the Minne- apolis Symphony. Mr. Lamont also has been affiliated with the Chicago Civic Orchestra con- ducted by Dr. Fred Stock. His Master of Music degree was obtained at the American Conserva- tory in Chicago. STRIKEQQEEUP BAND! . . . . a bright spot of the unit . . . . Members of the University R. O. T. C.

Band, under the direction of Walter Duerksen, has completed its most successful year. Organized early last fall, the 75-piece band appearing at all home football games, entertaining during the game and between the halves. The band also led two downtown parades. The Kansas City Royal Livestock Commission invited the band to appear at its annual show last November and, with the aid of the Student Coun- cil and the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, the trip was made possible. This spring the band made concert appearances at local schools and one out-of-town trip. ln addi- tion to its male chorus, several soloists and en- sembles are featured in these concerts. This year were featured R. D. Wilber, clarinet soloist: Arnold Whedbee, sousaphone soloistg a trumpet trio composed of Charles Tolman, Bill Getz, and Robert Higginsy and a woodwind ensemble com- posed of Gene Klingberg, fluteg Mr. Wilber, clarinet: Langdon Ayres, oboe: Renwick Puntenny, horny and Earl Clarkson, bassoon. T841 ALTER Duerksen, director of the R. O. T. C. Band, organized the R. O. T. C. male chorus of nearly 20 voices in 1936. The need for such an organization was keenly felt after the school had been without such a group following the death in 1933 of Homer Hubbard, director of public school music and who had been director of a men's glee club. Originally membership in the chorus was re stricted to members of the band, but this was later supplemented by other members of the R. O. T. C. unit. The chorus made its initial appearance at the spring concerts in 1936 and accompanied the band on its trips. ln spite of limited time for re- hearsals, the chorus gained favorable comment following each performance throughout the past school year. This year the membership, mainly composed of members of the band, increased. The chorus appeared with the band at all concerts, both in and outside of Wichita. Plans are now being made for improving the chorus next season by making it! cl' permanent organization. Lindon Durham was accompanist for the group.

The group, organ- ized last September, has held regular rehearsals since that time. Purpose of the organization is to make possible, for a selected group of music students, the study of the field of chamber music. The ensemble will appear in formal recitals late this year as planned early last winter.

Minisa HIS year the Minisa Symphony Orchestra and Chorus completes its eighth successful year of operation. The group is under the direction of Thuriow Lieurance, dean of the College of Fine Arts. Membership of the Minisa Orchestra is com- posed principally of outstanding instrumentalists among the faculty and students of the University. Several alumni members and professional musi- cians of the city are also members. Featured this year as soloists of the orchestra were Mrs. Beatrice Sanford Pease, violinist: George Tack, flutist: Mar- guerite Munselle, harpist, Audrey Sanford, clar- inetistg Guy Snyder, pianist, and Mrs. Lois Ayres Gordon, cellist. The chorus is composed entirely of students, headed by Mrs. Thurlow Lieurance, soprano solo- ist. The group has a women's glee club directed by Harry M. Kauffman, and a men's glee club directed by Walter Duerksen. Dean Lieurance directs the combined chorus. The group's initial performance was given in March, l929, in the old auditorium. On April 25 of this year the or- chestra gave its first performance in the new Auditorium before a full house. In the interval between the first performance of the orchestra and this year's performance, annual concerts T851 have been given in the Forum. Other events featured by the group during this season included a concert at Wichita High School East. Numerous out-of-town performances have also been given by the orchestra and chorus. Many of Dean Lieurance's compositions have been featured by the orchestra and chorus this year. They include his suites Minisa, Trails Southwest, Paris Sketches, and Conquistador. These were written by him especially for the group. Dean Lieurance is the author of several well known pieces among which is the semi- classical composition, By the Waters of Min- netonkaf' High point of the year was the group's annual performance on Minisa Day at Wichita High School North. The concert this year was held during Music Week, the first week in May. Two other performances were given by the orchestra this year. One was before a group meeting of the state convention of the D. A. B., the other before the Wichita Rotary Club. indian dances by an indian dance team were performed on all occasions. These performances have always been well received and the team is said by many to be one of the outstanding fea- tures of its kind in the country.

Here we see Work in many forms-but no obvious results. They are in the offering. Mixerlads give the camera a cross-fountain view of a pending milk shake, while the Alpha Taus sweep, lean, and study.

Alpha Gammon Sam West does his bit of home work with Honorary Colonel Mary Cies, sans uniform. Chief criticism of University officials is that stu- dents do too much work. Too many, they say, are taking heavy college courses, with near-full-time outside jobs, thus reducing their classroom effi- ciency. Logical would be some plan devised to remedy this factor. Officials have given the mat- ter serious study this year. . . . Play Hard Working collegians must have their bits of fun and hilarity. Often their actions are recorded without the least suspicion. Although these pic- tures, in the main, are self-explanatory, they do not necessarily give an accurate account of cam- pus recreation. They merely portray the ridicu- lous, for seldom does one see an ex-mayor's daughter turning a flip-flop, a sorority paddling and wrestling match, a Phi Sig shaving, an auda- cious Peeping Tom in action, Aristotle and pride dropped together on the library steps, and the President's daughter in such a gaping pose. Quite opposite is serene relaxation, comfort, and enter- tainment offered in the Commons. Administration officials have continually endeavored during the past year to make campus life more attractive, more dignified, and more enjoyable. The student lounge and related facilities are better than most in the nation's colleges and universities. Construction With financial aid from the federal government, mainly through the Works Progress Administra- tion, the University carried on this year the largest program of expansion in the history of the mu- nicipal school. With jobs ranging from yard work to construction of the Commons, scores of men were kept busy throughout the year making campus improvements. ln addition to the Com- mons, major improvements were the remodeling ot Henrion Gymnasium and construction of cement tennis courts. For this work federal aid substan- tially provided the necessary capital in making desired changes and additions. The Commons was built at a cost of S2l8,433.96. Included in this figure is S26,6U0 of equipment. The next major step in the form of campus building will be the construction of a new and modern library, ac- cording to President W. M. Iardine. The above pictures show the Commons and gymnasium under various stages of construction. 3 ERATS EACE I-ICDUSE PEQBLEM '37 AMERICAN DANCE THEME -A -.vc EX 1 T i STANDING L RCOM E ON LU! . 3, ef' 11, 3-.! . g, Ujflf .1 nz!

E In 1918 three members from each of the so- called established sororitiesu organized a new sorority-Delta Omega. Its first meeting rooms were in Morrison Library, then Fiske Hall. In 1931 the society purchased its house at 1752 Fairmount. The late Elizabeth Sprague was sponsor of the group until her death last spring. Members of Delta Omega are prominent in campus organizations, music, and dramatics with membership in Beta Nu, Women's Panhellenic Council, Pi Beta Chi, Women's Pep Club, Omega Upsilon, W. A. A., German Club, Sunflower staff, Student Council, Kappa Delta Pi, Orchesis, Span- ish Club, Y. W. C. A., Aesculapius, Matrix, and the University Players. Eleanor Hannah, second-semester sorority head, was first-semester president of Beta Nu, and Max- ine Setzer, pre-medics student, was president of the Women's Panhellenic Council for the second term. Two of Blue Key's ideal women were mem- bers of Delta Omega. They are Barbara Engle, first-semester president of Delta Omega, and Xina Meador. Alice lane Brown and Miss Engle were mem- bers of the rifle team of five which competed in the Midwest Indoor Gallery Meet at Kemper in Booneville, Missouri. Delta Omega's Y. W.

A., having three officers in that organ- ization. They are Miss Engle, vice presidentg Delta Omega's vice president, Ida Nelle Barnhart, secre- tary: and Miss Brown, rifle team captain. Delta Omega took first place in Homecoming house decorations last year. Teamed with Alpha Gamma Gamma fraternity, it also placed first in the Omega Upsilon play contest. D. O. mem- bers of the cast were Miss Setzer and Mina Iean Gillespie. The one-act play, The Man in the Bowler Hat, was directed by Miss Setzer. This year the sorority observed its Twentieth Anniversary with a formal dinner dance during the Christmas holidays. A timely setting was the superstition theme of D. O.'s fall informal pledge party on Friday, November 13. Other sorority functions included the Christmas dinner for alum- nae, Bowery Party, and a Patroness' Tea. Mrs. Clayton Henri Staples is critic of the group. Delta Omega has an active membership of 31, including 25 actives and six pledges. The Best All-Around Pledge for 1937 was Virginia Ouigley.

First occupying club rooms on the top floor of Fairmount Hall, they moved to a suite of rooms on the third floor of Fiske Hall in 1926. ln the fall of 1929 they moved to 1623 North Holyoke. Their present residence at 1704 North Holyoke was established in 1933. A reception was given by Sorosis in 1899 for new women of the school. Following this prece- dent, rush week is today a vital item on the pro- gram of all local sororities. With a total of 40 actives and 12 pledges, Sorosis is now the largest in membership of the University sororities. ln keeping with the literary program of the society, Sorosis presented three one-act plays on May 29, 1897, and the Sorosis Little Theatre Plays have since become an annual event. On April 24 of this year From Nine to Six was pre- sented at the lunior Twentieth Century Club under the direction of Mary Ruth Iones. Ieanne Carr, sophomore, in an annual all-school election, was chosen Betty Coed and was honored at all social functions by members of Alpha Gamma Gamma fraternity.

Q59 Largest fraternity in membership of the univer- sity is Alpha Gamma Gamma, organized in 1916 as an outgrowth of the linx Gang. Lincoln LaPaz was a leader in the founding of the fra- ternity and Lloyd Yazel was elected its first pres- ident. The first meeting place was located on the top floor of Fairmount Hall. The fraternity has since established a residence at 1618 Fairmount. Through the years the organization has predom- inated campus offices. The past year was no exception. Three members were selected for the 1937 edition of Who's Who in American Univer- sities and Colleges, Frank Malone, Max Hatfield, and Max Milbourn. Mr. Hatfield was president of the fraternity during the second semester in addi- tion to serving as head of Alpha Phi Omega and as co-editor of the student directory. Mr. Malone was president of the Student Council, co-editor of the directory, a member of The Sunflower business staff, Blue Key, and was a prominent University debater. Mr. Milbourn, a junior, served as first semester president of Colophon, men's honorary iournalism fraternity, editor of Parnassus, and as business manager of Tom-Tom. Fraternity members are also active in the R. O. T. C., with three cadet officers. Glen Soderstrom is captain of Scabbard and Blade. Mr. Malone, Mr. Milbourn and Edmond lacoby are members of the Board of Student Publications. lim Christian, Gene Setzer, lim Manasco, and Mr. lacoby served in freshmen offices during the year. Charles Kinsey was president of the junior class, Bernard Downing was president of Pi Beta Chi, and Kent Waddell headed the Collegiate 4-H Club. Each year the fraternity sponsors an all-school election to select a Betty Coed who is the guest of honor at all fraternity social functions during the year. This year leanne Carr, Sorosis, was hon- ored at the fraternity's fall Swing Session, Christ- mas party, Bubble Dance, and spring formal. Mrs. I. W. Vaniman is fraternity house mother. Drs. C. H. Sievers, Hugo Wall, and Worth A. Fletcher are faculty sponsors. An active membership of 50 men is held by Alpha Gamma Gamma. Fourteen new members were initiated at the end of the first semester. There are now 15 pledges in the fraternity. LeRoy Williams is pledge master.

When Men of Webster fraternity took the Greek letters, Phi Lambda Psi in l9l6, it also retained the name of the original body from which the organization acquired membership. Thus the growth of the fraternity has been synonymous with that of the University. The group was originally founded in 1895. For- merly the organization held its meetings in Fiske Hall, but now maintains a house at i822 Fair- mount, the only fraternity on the campus. During i935-36 members of Men of Webster have held prominent student offices. lames T. Lee and Roy Rogers were recognized in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges published last March. Mr. Lee has served as editor and managing editor of The Sun- flower, fraternity president, president of Colophon, men's honorary journalism fraternity, and is a member of Scabbard and Blade, national military fraternity. Mr. Rogers is president of the Univer- sity Young Republican Club, Blue Key, and a member of the University debate team. The winning of the Parnassus camera contest for the fourth consecutive year is apparently be- coming a tradition with Men of Webster. Clifford Hunt was awarded the title of Camera Man for l937, having submitted the best yearbook pic- tures, in the opinion of the judges, of any organiza- tion or individual entered. Fraternity members have also been active in drainatics productions. Raelph Harding served as president and Hample Pairleigh as production manager for the University Players during the past year. Mr. Hunt is a member of Pi Epsilon Delta, national dramatics society, and the Univer- sity Players. Mr. Fairleigh is also secretary of Colophon. Two members of the fraternity played on both varsity football and basketball teams. Grant Barner and Glenn Nye were ends on the football squad and played on the basketball team during the past season. Mr. Nye is president of the club. Thirty-two men are active members of Men of Webster. Twenty-four were pledges during the past year and 13 were initiated into the organiza- tion. Mrs. Myrtle Gottschalk is house mother. Dr, Lloyd McKinley is the fraternity sponsor. Members not pictured on the opposite page are Wayne Walcher, Tom Tatlock, LeRoy Warner, Bill Miller, Bob Schneider, Howard Nye, Glenn Nye, O. C.

From ll charter members the fraternity has grown until it now has the second largest active membership of the University fraternities. ln addition to being the youngest fraternity, Phi Upsilon Sigma has the newest house, having moved into its present residence at 1501 North Holyoke during the past year. Mrs. Lela Wilson presides as housemother. Vane Smith, Dr. C. E. Lane, and Maj. Martin D. McAllister are faculty sponsors. Cramer Reed, president of the organization dur- ing the first semester, was listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, acted as head of the senior class, Aesculapius, and was a cadet captain of the R. O. T. C. unit. Phi Upsilon Sigma members of Blue Key are Gerhardt Eikermann, Don Enoch, and Mr. Reed. Mr. Eikermann is treasurer of the lat- ter organization. In military functions the frater- nity is also active with two members in Scabbard and Blade, including Mr. Reed, first sergeant, and Austin Gafney, battalion adjutant of the R. C. T. C. Both the tennis and golf teams of the University have been dominated by Phi Upsilon Sigma men, with Dick Price, golf captain, and Bill Brinnon, tennis captain. Members of the fraternity have also played on the varsity football, basketball, and track teams, Mr. Eikermann was co-captain of the latter during the past season. ln addition, fraternity members have been active in the Y. M. C. A. and debate. Mr. Enoch served as secretary of the Young Republican Club and drum major of the R. O. T. C. Band. Willard lohnson held the presidency of the sophomore class. Phi Upsilon Sigma social functions included a Monte Carlo rush party and a pledge informal last fall. During the Christmas holidays the fra- ternity held its annual formal. A semi-formal was given this spring. The prize awarded by the Student Council for the most wood collected for the Pep Rally bonfire was won by Phi Upsilon Sigma, and the organization placed second in the house decorations during Homecoming. At the end of the first semester 15 men were initiated. Thirty-three men are now active in the fraternity, with 13 second-semester pledges. Members not pictured on the opposite page are Maurice Gillenwater, Tom Molton, Martin Seglem, Sherril Shannon, Ray Snodgrass, Don Small, Harry Corbin, Louis Andrews, Larry Blair, Ed Blood, Eugene Brammer, Maurice Martin, Harold Miller, lack West, and Roy Custer.

C. Harbison and lohn Lyndon Beebe organized Pi Alpha Pi on May 20, 1915. Twenty of the outstanding men of the campus were selected for this new organization and became its charter members. Continuing to the present, Pi Alpha Pi has been instrumental in initiating issues on the campus. ln addition to being the first to organize along fra- ternal lines, it was the first group to select a house mother and maintain a house for its members. Feeling that it was necessary for the fraternity to have a dormitory, the organization became the first to move from the campus, thus vacating the location now occupied by the Pi Kappa Psi sorority. For ll years Pi Alpha Pi has maintained its house at 1531 North Holyoke. For the past six years Mrs. Gilah Long has been housemother. This year a new sponsor was named for the fraternity, Dr. Earle R. Davis, professor and head of the English Department. In addition to Dr, Davis, Carl D. England, assistant professor of speech, sponsors the organization. Two of the present athletic coaches are alumni of Pi Alpha Pi. ln addition to their records on the athletic field, members have also been active in campus organ- izations. Iohn Beebe and Dean Betty, seniors, are members of Blue Key, and Bill Ramsey is a mem- ber of Scabbard and Blade. Mr. Beebe was also listed in Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges, and was president of the Young Demo- crats Club of the University, as well as serving as president of the fraternity during the first semester. Mark Watson, second-semester presi- dent, is also head of Colophon. Two members of the fraternity served as treas- urer for their respective classes, Doug Nunn, sophomore, and Sidney Martin, freshman. Social functions of the fraternity for the past season included the annual Paddle Party last fall. Early this past semester a Hobo party was given. The annual Spring formal completed the season. ln addition, numerous week-end activities, lunch- eon parties, and stags were sponsored. Twenty-three actives and twelve pledges are members of the group. At the end of the first semester six men were initiated. Members not pictured on the opposite page are Bob Alexander, Warren Bowersox, Bob Campbell, Bill Ferguson, lim Henderson, Orland Krug, Ken- neth Laljever, Glen Rittgers, Bill Steward, and Kermit Thompson. lll5l SPEECH CORRECTION HE high point of the year for the department and for the Flo Brown Memorial Laboratory was found in an inconsequential thing, something that happens to millions of children every year in this country, and something 98 per cent of the children of Kansas have had happen to them. A small boy began to read. In such a simple statement is found no element of drama-nothing startling in the field of educa- tion. But to this boy, and to his parents, it meant the chance of a useful life in his community. To the staff of the memorial laboratory it meant that its work was successful, and that by opening the door to this boy's mentality by means of teaching him to express himself through speech, another contribution to the community had been made. To students in the department it was an education to see that such children are capable of learning under proper care. Thus the drama in this act is not found in the act itself, but in all the story behind the life of this lad. Condemned to institutional care from infancy, marked at the best as an idiot, he now shows his capabilities, his promise of developing into a con- tributing citizen. This was not the only child to show the value of this work. Many others were prepared during the year to enter the public schools and to adjust themselves to a speaking world. The third year of the department and the labora- tory found more students intending to teach in this field enrolling in the training courses. The work of the laboratory was more efficient than ever, because of the experience of the older staff mem- bers, extended supervision for new students, and new equipment purchased through additional gifts from Mrs. E. M. Brown, original laboratory donor. The story of this original gift is timely. Flo Brown was fond of children. After her death her mother, Mrs. E. M. Brown, searched for a fitting memorial for her daughter. When she found that little Work was being done for children handi- capped by speech defects in this state, she offered a gift of equipment to begin operation of a train- ing school. She intends to continue with regular money contributions until the laboratory is the best equipped in the nation. Last Iune a gift of 510,000 was received by the department to serve as the nucleus of a building fund. The money, in the form of a second mort- gage on property in Estes Park, Colorado, was donated by the heirs of A. A. Hyde. lt is to be used to construct a building for departmental use. Because of the rapid increase in the depart- ment's size, new quarters were established this year in the north end of the fourth floor of the Administration Building. The department and laboratory operated at full capacity throughout the year, having a waiting list of l50 to 200 children. During the year l80 children were worked with regularly, and examinations were made of nearly 750. Many families moved to Wichita to give their children this work. lnquiries came from all parts of the nation in regard to the laboratory work. Clinics were held in numerous counties under the auspices of civic clubs, the Red Cross, and the public schools. Interest in laboratory work and its value to Wichita caused the formation of a women's ad- visory board to discuss various laboratory prob- lems in relation to its work with children whose parents were financially handicapped, and to take the responsibility for further laboratory expansion. Members of the board are: Mesdames Walter Wintle, president, Edgar Amsden, W. B. Throck- morton, Frank Brosius, Houston Barclay, George Hyde, Edgar Stewart, Walter Stippich, George Basham, Marsh Murdock, George Parks, Lyle Rat- liffe, Rene Gouldner, joe Aylward, Ralph Pryor, Tom Palmer, Harlan Herrick, Martin Palmer, and Misses lane Evans and Geraldine Shelley. A Parents' Club was also formed with Mrs. Clifford justice as president. Some parents of the children at the laboratory wished to organize a club. Immediate objective of the group was the purchase of furniture for the director's office and waiting room. A benefit bridge, given by the mothers, was held in February. Sufficient funds were raised to purchase furniture for the office. The laboratory has also been engaged in re- search during the past year, for it is realized that part of its long-range contribution must be the discovery of new methods in this field. The sub- ject for research was the prevalence of certain cardiac arrythmias among stutterers as opposed to a normal group of speakers. The results are not yet available. lt is thought that this particular work will be completed this year. The laboratory seldom uses its subjects as experimental material since it is pre-eminently practical. lt has been estimated that 50 per cent of all speech defectives find their way into one or an- other of our state institutions during some time in their lives, because it is difficult for a speech defective to adjust his living among normally speaking people. The average cost to the state for these individuals is S7,500, of which Wichita pays about one-twelfth. Besides Dr. Palmer, director, the personnel of the laboratory includes Virginia Throckmorton, lane Brosius, Mary C. Palmer, Virginia Crook, Courtney Osborn, Anna Mae Gillett, Annetta Davis, Persis Minard, Velma Cochran, lune Elwell, Virginia McCoy, Maryan Earl, Lily Mae Clawson, Thadene Hedges, Betty Behmer, Amy jones, and Betty Neely. lll6l ln the Lab Prom l p. m. to 6 p. m. six days each week the Flo Brown Memorial Laboratory is a busy place.
