It participated and is still partici- pating in the war effort in every conceivable way to help bring that end at the earliest possible minute .... We were all behind our Uncle Sam in his every need .... Now the campus is beginning to take on more of the desirable attributes of peace .... The enrollment is up Cmore men are herel and gradually many former Shockers are returning to the campus .... The Parnassus, too, returns to its peace-time form-that of a book in one unified edition .... However there is still a paper shortage so if we use a symbolic fence to help tell part of our story, it just proves there is still a war going on! . . . Herein you will see some of the people and learn of some of their activities during the college year of 1944 and 1945 .... 1 -AVP cf mix BT f 6 X .Q , 1' sex i 551 :H 2 gi TE ':--4':.,,.

Anytime in Morrison Hall you might find the campus musicians hard at work, as the picture of Wichita's famed two piano team indicates. The band, caught in an off moment at one of the fall football games, looks as if it might break into Hail Wichita', at any moment. On the other page, the University's cheer leaders are about to swing into action. The other pictures show that the most interesting building on the campus is still the Commons, 'cause everyone majors in Commonology. x!H..Z .,1sx'Y'?5'W as fa: .

The house once again resumes the air of sorority life, rather than the infirmary atmosphere of cots, bedside tables and the various military hospital equipment of last year. Alpha Tau's history dates back to 1909 when ten members of Sorosis, then a literary society, met with nineteen other coeds under the sponsorship of Miss Flora Clough, Dean of Women at Fairmount, to form the nucleus of Alpha Tau Sigma. In November, 1941, Alpha Tau moved into her new home on Sorority Row. With the coming of World War II, the Alpha Taus loaned their home to the army and entered an apartment in the Commons until June 1, 1944, when they moved back into their own home. Under the guidance of Miss Eva Hangen, the sorority sponsor, Alpha Tau maintains her outstanding position in campus activities. The social calendar began with the annual Pledge Dance honoring the new pledge class. Open House was held for The Rectangle, and a football coffee was given for the members of the Varsity football team. The Christmas Formal was held in the Broadview, and the final social activity was the Formal Spring Supper Dance. Date nights, serenades, slumber parties, the Mother's Day Tea, and Father-Daughter picnic added color to an eventful year. Many Alpha Tau girls ranked high among campus lead- ers. The Alpha Taus led all other organizations in the sale of Student Forum tickets, and Mickey McCoy won first prize in the individual ticket sale. Peg Archer served as treasurer of the Student Forum Board, and Betty Deshler, acted as secretary. Two members of Alpha Tau were officers of Student Coun- cil: Mickey McCoy, vice-president and Peg Archer, treasurer. Betty Deshler was treasurer of Y.W.C.A. and Helen Souders, Doris Jean Meads, and Mary Lou Hobson served on the cabinet. Mary Lou Hobson played the lead in the University pro- duction Holiday and received the Women's Honor Group Scholarship for having the highest scholastic average in the Freshman year. Other honors received by Alpha Tau girls were: Jeanne Brooks, secretary-treasurer of International Relations Club: Mary Kay Funke, president of Newman Clubg Mickey Mc- Coy, president of Young Republicans club, treasurer of Pan-Hell, treasurer of Alpha Epsilon, and listed in Who's Who. Helen McCaslin was secretary of the Junior Class, president of Rifle Club, secretary of Young Republicans, and secretary of W.R.A. Betty Deshler was Recorder of Wheaties and a chairman of W.S.S.F. Doris Jean Meads was president of the Sophomore class, Joan Primm, treasurer of the Sophomore class, and Helen Mielert, secretary of the Freshman class. Dana Wallenstein received the honor of being Sweet Varsity Sue. Alpha Tau has members in Alpha Delta Pi, Omega Upsilon, University Players, Wheaties, Mu Phi Epsilon and other Campus organizations. Marjean Spencer was selected as Alpha Tau's Best All- Around Pledge. Suzie Gordon was president of the Hrst semester pledge class, with Pat Harrell acting as president second semester. President Jardine presented Alpha Tau Sigma with an award for having the highest amount of War Bond sales during the Sixth War Loan Drive. Peggy Reed is Alpha Tau's representative for the Bond Committee. Alpha Tau has not shirked her patriotic duty and is proud of sorority sisters Ru Beuke and Peg Wilson, who are serving in the Waves.

Three girls from Alpha Tau and three from Sorosis founded the sorority and meetings were continued in Morrison Library until the present home at 1752 Fairmount was procured. Mrs. Clayton Henri Staples has been sponsor of the sorority since the death in 1936 of Miss Elizabeth Sprague, who assisted in organizing the group. Highlights on the D.O. social calendar began with a clever pledge dance at the Shirkmere ballroom honoring 21 new pledges and featuring a theme of Stairway to the Stars . The Christmas season was enlivened with a gay holi- day dance. Climaxing a successful year was the annual l'Black and White ball honoring the May Queen and her attendants. Several teas, luncheons, and alumnae activities rounded out the season. Many of the leaders and oHicers of the campus organiza- tions are members of Delta Cmega.

With this goal in mind, these co-eds limited the membership to twenty- Hve members. In March of 1928, the charter was granted and the girls moved into 1750 Fairmount. In 1941 the sorority moved to 1704 N. Holyoke where it is now at home. After a successful rush season, the Kappa Rhos pledged thirteen girls. An auction of the pledges was conducted at the annual pledge dance, Slave Martn. During the evening the actives, carrying out the theme of the dance, presented the pledges with ankle chains. The alumni of the sorority were entertained at the annual homecoming spread amidst decorations protraying the western theme. Highlighting the Christmas season, mem- bers and guests of the sorority attended the Christmas Belles and Beauxv dance at the 20th Century club. Concluding the Hrst semester, the sorority sisters enter- tained their dates at the semi-annual date night, The initial entertainment of the three girls pledged second semester was date night. During the year the pledges have entertained the actives with the traditional parties and the alumni chap- ter entertained all members at the Founders Day dinner at Drolls commemorating the 17th birthday of the sorority. Climaxing the annual Parnassus dance, Martha Lou Por- terfield, who was chosen by Bing Crosby to be honored, was crowned queen, Completing a successful social year, the annual spring dinner dance was held in May. With the building fund growing every day, the Kappa Rhos are seeing their dreams of a house on sorority row coming true. A presentation of two war bonds towards this goal was made to the Kappa Rhos by the alumni chapter at the Founders Day dinner. Active in campus organizations, Norma Deupree is vice- president of Wheaties, secretary-treasurer of both Aescula- pius and Orchesis, Y.W.C.A. cabinet member, and past president of the sorority. Barbara Watson, president of the sorority, is vice-president of the senior class and past presi- dent of the Pan-Hellenic council. Virginia Pendleton is a member of Student Forum and the Varsity committee, and June Cale, who was a member of the cast for Holiday , has received honors as a member of the debate squad. Lois Bur- rell is reporter of Omega Upsilon, honor dramatics sorority, and a member of Matrix, honor journalism sorority. Three Kappa Rhos, Charlene McFaddin, Barbara Watson, and Norma Neupree were listed in the University Who's Who. June Cale, chosen by the actives as honor pledge, was hon- ored at a sorority dinner and presented with Kappa Rho ring. Other Kappa sisters are active members of University players, Canterbury club, Y.W.C.A., Young Democrats, Young Republicans, French club, Home Economics club, Radio Speaking group, Delta Epsilon sorority, Newman club, and Chips. f Page 79 KATHLELN WEIGAND BILTTY BETH!-L CAROL CROI-'T RUTH DIl-I7IfEN- BACHILR FRANCES DOUGLAS EVLLYN MCFALL HEL!fN MAAIORS VIRGINIA WATTS MARGARIQT YLAGER JOAN COORI-.

PI KAPPA PSI became twenty-two years old this year. It was in the fall of 1922 that twenty charter members organized the sorority in old Fairmount Hall.

Branch, head of the Zoology Department, has been sorority sponsor since its organization. In spite of the shortage of men on the campus, the Pi Kaps entertained at many exciting parties.

After a few days of this, they organized on September 28 a temporary wartime fra- ternity. It was named Rectangle, emblematic of the four fraternities in that each corner stands for one of the fra- ternities. The pledges activated through this organization will preference and be preferenced for initiation as actives in one of the four fraternities after the war. Dr. Worth A. Fletcher and Dr. Lloyd McKinley became the sponsors. When school opened this year Rectangle found itself the possessor of a room in the Commons building. Rectangle had a gala season of parties, opening the year with a dance honoring the pledges. It was held in Henrion Gym. A festive Christmas party was held in the Bamboo room at the Broadview. In February the pledge dance was held at the Rock Castle and the spring formal was held in the Broadview Bamboo room.

THE PARNASSUS, in spite of wartime shortages of materials, came out in form similar to that of the good old pre-war days. Last year the Parnassus was published in quarterly editions but the Parnassus Board decided to return to the one volume style for the 1944-45 annual. A new feature added to the Parnassus this year by the board was the selection of a Cover Girl to introduce the queen section of the book. Jo Ann Sullivan was editor-in-chief with an advisory board consisting of joan O,Bryant, Betty Dickman, and Betty Ann Brush. Curtis Winters was business manager, assisted by Bill Nelligan. George Schaeffer was the photographer. 'K Page101 Page102 'K DR. MARTIN F. PALMER GNL or THIS Mosi' UNIQUE services offered to Kansas today is that of the Institute of Logopedics, speech correction center at XVichita University. The Institute was started ten years ago under the direction of Dr. Martin F. Palmer and has expanded its facilities during this period until it is now one of the largest speech correction centers in the nation which deals with all types of speech defects. The primary purposes of the Institute are: C11 to study the causes of and methods of correction of all types of speech defectsg QZJ to offer students a course of training and prepare them for a career in the profession of logopedicsg and CBJ to offer a complete, modern speech correction service to the speech handicapped of the community. At the present time 125 cases are receiving speech correction training at the Institute. Cases which come under the heading of speech defectives include stutterers, articulation cases, voice quality cases, spastic paralytics, aphasics, deaf and hard of hearing, birth injury cases, cases of dysphonia, cases of endocrine origin and retarded speech.

In addition to the service Offered in Wichitgl the Institute supervises the operation of several out-unitsn throughout the state. At present, out-units are in operation at Hutchinson, Planeview, Topeka and Salina. Units at El Dorado, Winheltl and Arkansas City have been closed for lack of teachers. Instructors for the units are former University students who have been trained in speech correction work at the Institute. During the past year staff members of the Institute have conducted examining clinics at a number of cities. Over 60 talks have been delivered by staff members to various civic groups. schools, etc. Four hundred thirty cases have been examined. The teacher training program at the Institute is to be greatly accelerated beginning with the 1945 fall semester in order to meet the increasing demand for persons trained in the special skills of speech correction work. That such a demand exists is evident from the fact that there are less than 1000 trained speech correction instructors in the nation today, and it is estimated that at least 40,000 such instructors will be needed before a complete speech correction service can be offered to all individuals suffering from speech defects. Students entering this training, therefore, will have the advantage of embarking on a career in a profession which cannot possibly be overcrowded for many years to come. It should be noted that the University of Wichitti is one of the very few schools in the nation today which offers a complete course of training in this field.

To the tune of Every man a tiger, the pigskin squad made work out of what some consider play and a look at their record at the end of the season shows one any team would be proud of. Coach Binford had a tremendous job before him but he handled it perfectly and the results were miraculous. None of his team had ever played college football before, his squad being made up of 17-year-olds, some 18-year-olds that were taken into the armed forces during the season and the remaining were those unable to get into the service or were discharged veterans. Coach Binford came to W. U. in 1942 from El Dorado Junior College with a remarkable record in basketball and football coaching and worked with Ralph Graham. Ralph jack B111 Mi 1 vm SMITH S.-ut BRI 'll Graham began coaching at the University in 1942 intro- during his Wgirner system and made a fine impression his Hrst year as head coach. Now in the Navy, Lt. QJGJ Gra- ham is on leave from the University. Wzllter Duerksen and his band members, the Delta Omega pledges and their donuts and the pledges of Alpha Tau Sigma and their apples made football afternoons memorable events. As in past years, sweaters were presented to those letter- ing in football this year. The football banquet in late November marked the oflicial close of the season. Gifford Booth, Jr., graduate of the University and former football star for the Shockers, gave the chief address of the evening. Howard Overstake, guard and now with the armed forces, and Glen Maris, quarterback, were named honorary co-captains of the 1944 squad at the annual dinner. if Page 111 xi SltiuixNN ciI.lN lWlARIS Bauer Hall, RoB1ia'1'SHRUx1 filI,KRIlSllIII.A1AN lin I.

U. gaining 231 yards to their opponents, 83. The Rockhurst eleven found that the combination of Linwood Sexton, Glen Maris and johnny Swinehart was too much and were again and again backed into their end of the Held. journeying on to Manhattan the next week-end, the W. U. eleven sent all sports predictors scurrying for cover as they held the strong Kansas State Wildcats to a 6-6 tie. The Shockers' first score came in the fleeting seconds of the first half as Sexton began heaving passes on his own 41-yard line and the last one to Buddy Coffey on the 10 scored the Wichita single touchdown. lt looked for a while as if it were Wichitais game but the Wildcats came back in the final period to tally and tie the score. The next Saturday found the Shoekers without a game Page112 f and almost without a team. Sexton, Bell and Stevenson had received sprains forcing Coach Binford to revise his team. Playing their Hrst service team, the Binford crew tasted of defeat for the first time at the hands of the experienced Olathe Navy team by a score of 13 to 0. Linwood Sexton was able to play half of the game but injuries he had received earlier in the season kept him from gaining suiiieient yardage. The only Wichita threat during the game came in the Hnal seconds of the first half, but unlike the Kansas State game, the gun sounded before the Wheatshockers could push the ball across. Returning to Wichita, the Shockers chalked up their sec- ond victory of the season as they triumphed over the Doane Navy team 14 to 13. The game looked like a walk-away for Wichita until the final period when Doane came back to score twice but failed to get one of the extra points and the Shockers emerged with a one point edge.

U. team was forced to rely on the passing of Dick Ambler and the running and place-kicks of Lester Watts to win their second victory over the Rockhurst Hawks 14 to 12. Wfhile in Wichitais possession, the ball found itself sailing in mid-air most of the time as the Bin- ford squad showed they could win on an aerial attack as they picked up 142 yards in passing. It was their second and final defeat of the season that the Kansas State Wildcats handed the W. U. team on Home- coming Day this year. A crowd of 4,000 fans saw Wichita again relying on the passing of Dick Ambler and they saw the usual first half spurt fail to reach pay-dirt for W. U. Everyone realized that the Wildcats had greatly improved since the engagement Wichita played at Manhattan. ln the meanwhile, the Shockers had suffered greatly because of injuries and the beckoning hand of Uncle Sam. W. U. had the edge on the gains while passing collecting 98 yards to their opponents, 28. But the records showed the Wildcats doubling the yards gained rushing on the Shockers. The score read Wichita 13, McCook Bombers 7 the fol- lowing Saturday as the Shockers jumped back into the win column again. Through the passing of Linwood Sexton and the beautiful broken field running of Howard Overstake that no one will ever forget, the Binford squad came to life in the final period after trailing 7 to 0 and tallied twice to win over the Bombers. Playing by far the best game of the season, the Shockers wound up their season brilliantly as they came through the Drake Thanksgiving game with flying colors winning 13 to 12. This Win over Drake gave the Wichita eleven a record to be proud of with Five wins, one tie and two losses. Not pictured above is Vic Elliott who joined the Shockers at mid-term.

Page114 i' BASKETBALL, LIKE FOOTBALL, returned again on the list of sports activities after a year of absence due to the manpower shortage in 1944. Everyone was greatly surprised at the showing the football team made but the basket- ball five really gave them an eye-full as they racked up 14 games out of 18 played. Mel Binford, head basketball coach for the University, started the season with an inexperienced varsity squad of 13 men. With several of the men going to the service and others leaving school, Coach Binford found it hard to play the same five men any two games in succession. The basketeers pried off the lid against Bethany College and went off the court a 39-19 victor. Five days later the Shockers traveled to McPherson and took the McPherson College five 40 to 33. The Wheatshockers suffered their first defeat of the season as they bowed before the strong Great Bend Air Base team 49 to 33. At Topeka, Wash- burn University made it two losses in a row the next week 50-35. Returning home, the Wichita squad immediately began preparing for the trip to Enid to face the Phillips University five. It was a nip-and-tuck battle but W. U. came from behind in the final minutes of the game to come out on the long end of a 41-38 score. Shortly after the second semester had begun, the Shockers were hosts to the Washburn squad and lost to the Ichabods 34 to 55. Coach Binford was so short of men in this game that he was forced to play the Hnal two min- utes of the game with only four men on the court. Next it was Phillips University on the local court at which one of the largest crowds of the season saw the Shockers emerge with a 53-41 win. Coach Binford took his proteges to Herington the night following and again found the army five a little too much as the final score read 61-44 for Herington. It was with the next game with McPherson College at Wichita that the Shockers really began hitting their stride as they polished off the remaining ten opponents on their 18-game schedule. It was 50-41 in Wichita's favor in the McPherson game. During the same week the next Wheatshocker foe was the Emporia Teachers team. Wichita held a nice 23 to 6 lead at the half and finished with a 49-19 score. Coach Binford and his varsity crew were up bright and early the next morning and boarded the train for Kansas City to meet Wentworth Mili- ROBERT MASON VIC ELLIOTT BRICE DURBIN DICK AMBLI R tary academy on the Rockhurst College court. With free scoring by the entire W. U. squad and a large height advantage the Shockers breezed to an easy 56-21 victory. Vic Elliott scored 15 points in leading Wichita to a 41-34 win over Baker University at Baldwin. The game was a close battle with the half time score favoring Baker 20-18. When the Great Bend Air Base crew came to town, the fans saw the local five capture a hard fought victory over the Great Bend Air Base 53-45. It was their sixth straight victory when the Shockers defeated Went- worth Military Academy in their second tangle of the year 65-31. During the same week Wichita romped over the Emporia Teachers at Emporia 53-10. But the excitement of the week came the following night when the Herington Air Base came to town and provided the fans with one of the most thrilling games ever played on the local court that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats the entire game. A last minute free throw by Virgil Parker put the Shockers in the lead and the game ended 49-48. Easily winning over Baker 69 to 23, the Binford coached crew played Herington Air Base in a benefit game at El Dorado only to come out on the short end of a 25-46 score. The last game on the schedule saw the Shockers defeating Bethany Col- lege 52-28. Climaxing the season was the invitation extended to the Shocker five to attend the National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament at Kansas City, Mo. After leading West Texas State College 28 to 24 at the half, the Wheatshockers fell behind in the last half and lost their first game at the tournament 54-43. Vic Elliott, former Anthony, Kansas, high school star, led the team's scoring for the year with 234 points in 17 games. With a total of 856 points for the season against 646 for their Opponents, the Binford squad has one of the most impressive records made by the basketball squad in several years. Linwood Sexton, Shocker guard, was elected as honorary captain by the basketball squad for the 1944-45 season. Not pictured above are: Virgil Parker, Thurman Gay, Bob Groom and Bruce Hall.

The results of their willingness to explore new fields are notable. The unique negative stagger Beechcraft biplane, long outstanding in its power class, is one. Another is the Model 18 all-metal twin-engine Beechcraft feeder airline and execu- tive transport, an airplane which since 1936 has made such a record that thousands of these planes serve the armed forces as advanced trainers and personnel transports all over the world. Since 1941, research at Beech Aircraft has had as its purpose the creation of improvements in air- craft designed for military use. Most of this research cannot be described, for obvious reasons. Something can be told, however, about the experi- ment pictured above-an AT-10 Beechcraft advanced trainer equipped with a unique two- element empennage which replaces the conven- tional tail group. Its successful flight tests have shown interesting possibilities. Whether or not this particular experiment proves practically useful is unimportant. What does matter is the spirit behind such research-an aggressive exploratory spirit that is not confined by tradition and convention but is free to operate anywhere within the boundary of sound engineer- ing principles. The Beechcrafts of the future undoubtedly will reflect the gains attained through such a program, and will offer to their owners, whether military or commercial, an extra degree of performance and value.

There was Anne Mc- Carthy's kick-the-can party. Evidences of a hilarious time were the worn-out faces of the guests Monday. and Wayne McKay's sprained ankle. We hear that Ann didn't like her own party, or something to that effect, for she left early with Dick Foley, Martha Brennan, Wayne Krone, Peggy Porter, and Tracy Ansel. And this little party seems to have turned into a triple-date, with a new night club, and trimmings. i' 'k 'A' Hear that more of the football fellows are leaving for the army soon-Ike Pillsbury, Walt Knocke, Ira Landrith, Howard Over- stake, and john Davidson. 'A' 'A' 'k Guess the party that Sarah Haines gave for the Alpha Tau was a pretty lively one, with Winnie Meredith smoking cigars, and the rest of the girls strewing Terrace Drive with white paper streamers. More stars added to service flags in soror- ity house windows-Sorosis now has stars for Mary Baker, Betty Lou Haire, Marilyn Wheeler, and Genevieve Nash. 'kit Hear that the frat fellows had a big time on their walkout with Sorosis pledges. Marge Purnell was initiated, and the boys all met their pledge mother. Butch. Eldon Case got left behind, but he says it's not worth it. And why was Jack Bell acting lonely and dejected? 'A' 'A' i' Jack Mayor, Calvin Elder, Anderson Chandler, jack Maurer and Rod MacIvor were all home from the service last week- entertained the old Frat fellows dates with a sailing party and a Santa Fe Lake. Everyone looked as if they were having a wonderful time! end. Rod and their Dicnic at Hear that lots of exciting things happened on and off the campus on Halloween. There were Dr. Mood, Nock, and Hansen, pratol- ing the campus, all equipped with billy clubs, and there was also the plumbing on the Alpha Tau chimney. 'kirir Suzie Gordon has a new name- jinx - which fact is brought about by what happens every time Suzie has a date-the boy gets a draft notice.

He presented the ring Cfrom his cigarj to this student at the Forum din- ner Monday night. Incidentally the girl is sometimes known as The Girl with Multi- Colored Hair. Obvious isn't it? 'kirt Everyone seems to have been bitten by the bug. Tish Palmer passed chocolates at the Sorosis meeting last week. She's engaged to Rodney Kief. Don Penfold and Charlene Parrot are going steady now and Johnnie Corrin QVirginia Schroeder's manj, Fred Beaty and Joyce Tilden's are all on their way home. Frank Crotzer, Beverly Sickler, Joyce Til- den, Bill Bonnell, Elwood Bell, and Darlene Timker must not have had any idea that picnic at Santa Fe Lake would turn out as it did. During the day Darlene and Joyce got thrown into the lake and their story about getting their clothing dry afterwards, is something to hear. tit Bob Helsel is the handsome waiter su- preme in the Commons. Lighting cigarettes and taking sandwiches and drinks to delicate people in booths are only a few of his ac- complishments. Things are looking pre-war again since Charlie Chathn Cone of the three men on campusj has returned after battling the mumps for two weeks. Charles swears he is really older than that childish disease might indicate. 'kit The popular place to gather on Tuesdays and Thursdays seems to be the parade grounds. Never before Comitting the pre-war periodj has so much brawn been available at so little a price as when the R.O.T,C. men go through their calisthenics.
