On April 30, 1896, the Secretary of State for the state of Kansas issued a charter grant- ing full college and university rights to the institution. Fairmount Institute had been founded in 1892 under the auspices of the Congregational church, but was not char- tered by the state as Fairmount College until 1896. The first class in liberal arts was graduated in 1899. Reverend Nathan J. Morrison served as first president of the college from 1896-1906. On his death Rev. William H. Isely acted as president until the appointment of Rev. Henry E. Thayer, who served from 1907-1914. Dean Arthur J. Hoare was acting president for a few months until Rev. Walter H. Rollins was chosen to succeed Rev. Thayer. Frank A. Neff served as acting president between Rev. Thayer and Rev. John D. Finlayson who served from 1922-1927. Dean Neff again served as interim president until Dr. Harold W. Foght was appointed. This year also observes the twentieth anniversary of the Municipal University of Wichita. The University was created by referendum vote of the people of Wichita on April 24, 1926. and on June 2, 1926 the Board of Trustees of Fairmount College formally deeded the property to the city of Wichita. First Board of Regents chosen by the city commission. with the Wichita Board of Education to direct the affairs of the new University were Frank Nighswonger, mayor, Mrs. R. M. Gouldner, George Hamilton, Allen W. Hinkel, Dr. H. W. Horn, Charles E. Parr, Clyde M. Smyser, Otto R. Souders, and Rev. E. E. Stauffer. Presidents of the University have been Rev. John D. Finlayson, 1926-273 Dr. Harold W. Foght, 1927-33. and Dr. William M. Jardine, who has served since 1934 and this year began on March 1 his thirteenth year as president. Together the two institutions. Fairmount College and the Municipal University of Wichita, have completed fifty years of worthwhile work in the field of education. Two world wars have passed, and the need for thorough educa- tion has been amply illustrated. The University. now. in 1946, looks forward to continued success and leadership in the field of education. jJI'6SiJ6lZf Oiiffiam Jardine Former Secretary 01' Agriculture and minister to Egypt, Dr. Jardine this year began his thirteenth year of worthwhile service as University President.

AUMINISTHATIUN 366 86LWL,0LL5 ASTLY different from the lone Fairmount Institute building situated on a twenty acre tract is the modern University campus of eighty acres with eight main buildings and vari- ous minor structures. The Fairmount building was erected in 1887 and unoccupied until 1892 when it was opened as Fairmount Institute. Later, under the charter of Fairmount College, further additions were made to the campus. When the school became the Municipal University of Wichita in 1926 there were four main buildings: Fiske Hall. men's dormitoryg Morrison library. now the art buildingg Henrion gymg and the college building itself. Fairmount Hall was destroyed by fire in 1929. Several buildings have been added since municipal affiliation. Science Building was constructed in 1928, the Commons Building in 1936 and the Administration Building in 1930. Newest buildings on the campus are the Aeronautics Building, and the new Morrison Library. Construction of Veterans Field, now underway, and plans for a new music building, will enlarge campus facilities and increase total evaluation to two and one-half million dollars. fgjifzrary ana Gf07nzi1zZsfrafl0n .fyorrison HE CLASS OF 1946 entered upon a year which saw victory in a global war, and establishment of an organization to preserve world peace. That long-anticipated post-war era has arrived. Those days when the boys were to come marching home are here, and the boys did come-from all corners of the world-to complete their work and some to be graduated with this class. For some these diplomas are a bit belated, but the spirit which sent the boys abroad to fight, brought them back as men, determined to complete work they realize, now, more than ever, is essential to insure that peace for which they fought. The class of 1946, the fiftieth class to be graduated from this school, can look forward to much now that the war is over-a long- looked-for peace, and an opportunity to take that place in the world for which they have prepared.

With the return of many former students to the campus, in addition to new veterans, and other new students, the Student Council had to keep pace with a constantly increasing enrollment. The Council is composed of four officers, and two members elected from each class. Elections for officers, men representatives and all class officers except freshmen, are held the first Friday in May. Women Student Council members are elected the second Friday in January, and freshman class officers the day before fall classes begin. The Student Council began its activities this year with the freshman election and mixer in the Commons Lounge. Barbara Mitchell and Galen Christian were selected Varsity Sue and Varsity Sam. Homecoming, the annual grad f'Roundup , was directed by a Student Council committee consisting of Dorothy Ransom, Bob Overstake. Dorothy Bruce, and Frances Douglas. Carrying out the Round-up theme, traditional activities began with a supper and a mixer dance in the gym, followed by burning in effigy of the Kearney football player. A parade presenting queen candidates with decorated cars was held downtown before the Homecoming game. Phyllis Duncan, Pi Kappa Psi, was crowned Homecoming Queen by Emil Holgerson, president of the University Alumni Association, and was honored at a varsity dance in the evening. Numerous charity drives were successfully completed under the direction of student chairmen. Warren Lewis handled the clothing drive, Vernon McGuire headed the Victory Bond Drive, Dorothy Ransom the Community Chest drive, and Al Munroe and Bob Fidler the Red Cross campaign. The campaign for Veterans Field was under the direction of the Student Council. A day of canvassing for funds was set aside when Left to Right-BARBARA BROSIUS, ALMA RUTH FUNK, DOROTHY RANSOM, RITA LYMAN, BERT DAVIES, FRANCES DOUGLAS, ROLAND ALLEN. BOB OVERSTAKE.

Although it was a cold, windy day with deep snow on the ground, students brought in pledges for S2,280. Chairmen of the Student Council Veterans Field campaign were Betty Deshler and Bob Fidler. Student Council contributed financially to the annual band tour through help in presenting Herb Miller, name band leader, at an all- school dance at the Broadview Hotel. The Parnassus Queen, Shirley Holloway. was chosen by Mr. Miller and honored at the dance. Joanne Miller and Frances Douglas represented the University at a conference for student governing bodies held at the University of Tulsa April 26 and 27. Student Council was asked by Bethany College, Lindsborg, to choose their annual Daisy Queen . May Day festivities climaxed the year. Mary Virginia Mueller, Alpha Tau Sigma. was elected May Queen in two elections. The first election was disqualified by the Student Council when a discrepancy of 40 ballots appeared in the counting. ln a second election Miss Mueller's victory was verified. Pre-war political machinery came into action in the May Queen and spring elections when coalitions appeared. Janet Israel and Joanne Miller, with their various committees, made May Day a success. Election of Council members and class officers and intra-class sports events were held in the forenoon. After a box lunch and noon mixer, skits were presented by all the social organizations at the annual Hippodrome. Big event of the festivities was the coronation of the May Queen in the evening with serenades by the various groups. The Queenls reception, and Coronation Ball climaxed the evening.

Pan Hellenic Council was formed in order to bring about more cooperation and a closer relationship among Greek social organizations on the campus. The chief duty of the council is to regulate the rushing, preferencing and pledging activities of sororities. ' This year an all-sorority meeting was held, at which ad- vantages and disadvantages of national affiliation were dis- cussed. Representatives voted not to petition national sororities this year. Among other things accomplished, summer rush rules were revised. Page 30 arsiiy Gonzmiffee ' O PLAN a number of all school dances throughout the year the varsity committee, a group of University students, was chosen by the Student Council. Shocker Stomp , the first school varsity under the direction of this group was held in the Henrion gym in October. Jack Colvin and his orchestra provided music for dancing. This was a trial varsity to be followed by numerous similar dances if well attended. Entertainment for the second varsity, the dance highlighting the Shocker vs. Kansas University football game, held later in the month, was under the direction of the group. Witch Walk was the name of the dance held in the women's gym. A Halloween theme was carried out in decorations and entertainment. Jack Colvin and his campus orchestra provided the music. Third varsity of the year was the annual homecoming dance, i'Our Round-Up . In honor of the Homecoming queen and her attendants, the dance was open to students and alumni. Music was by the Colvin outfit and decora- tions were carried out in the school colors. A get-acquainted varsity in honor of all veterans and new students was held early in the second semester. The second varsity committee included one representative from each organization on the campus: Joan Primm, Alpha Tau Sigmag Beth Jones, Delta Omegag Phyllis Hardy, Pi Kappa Psi, Jim Keltner, I. S. A., Rhoda Capps, Sorosisg Jerry O'Hurd, Epsilon Kappa Rhog and Bert Davies, chairman, Rectangle. Climaxing the dance calendar for the year, the varsity committee was in charge of the May Day dance, Corona- tion Ba1l , in honor of the queen and her court. The dance, a semi-formal affair, was held in the gym and music was provided by Dick Haughton and his band. RI-IODA CAPPS, GEORGE BELL, BOB JOHNSTON, JERRY CARR, chairman, FRANCES DOUGLAS, DOROTHY RANSOM. and BILL BURKS Page 31 Pagf' 32 Sk0Ck6I' l'6U7'Z6l LAY GOERS were provided with delightful enter- tainment this fall and spring when Prof. George Wilner ably directed a cast of new talent in two light, modern comedies, the hilarious Return Engage- menti' and Rose Franken's rib-tickling 'tClaudia',. Student-directed one-act plays were presented in the spring. Shortage of manpower proved a problem in the production of Return Engagement but Don Williams, speech professor, helped out and with Williams playing the male lead opposite Delaree Travis, new to the Univer- sity stage but a veteran in the profession, the play was a success. Anita Faye Lallement, in the role of a sophisticated, sarcastic woman, made her premier performance in this play and almost stole the show. Mary Lou Hobson and Virginia Kohen were never out of character as an ambi- tious, young ingenue, and a flighty daughter respectively. Dorothy Stinnett, without the help of remarkable or witty lines drew a large out-front laughter. June Cale as the determined and haughty mother played a convincing role and good supporting work was done by Bob Jones, Vernon McGuire, Harold Lutz, and the rest of the cast. Many laughs and a lump in the throat at times were provided in the production of the lovable comedy, Claudia . With an increase of men on the campus the second production of the year proved much less of a prob- lem. The comedy, which ran for two consecutive years on Iziversifzf gyfayers Pictured below are members of UNIVERSITY PLAYERS.

Newly returned to the campus, Bud Gould delighted the audience with his memorable performance in the por- trayal of David Naughton. Playing opposite Gould in the role of Claudia Naughton, Beverly Butcher, another new- comer to the varsity stage enlivened the play with her dual personality of innocence and sensitiveness. Fred Higginson, who returned to the University stage where he made his premier performance in 1941, played the English minded Jerry Seymour with the same nonchalant manner that he played the brow-beaten husband in t'This Thing Called Love in '4l. Bethenis Jones in the portrayal of Mrs. Brown and Betty Henderson and Bob Gerber in the roles of Bertha and Fritz, faithful servants of the young Naughton's, capably filled their parts. June Cale and Anita Faye Lallement made a return appearance in this play after their successful performances in Return Engagement . The seven one-act plays presented in April under the direction of University students not only presented the audience with some unusual entertainment but also intro- duced remarkable directing talent to the dramatics department. Student directors were Doris Arvin, Merle Garten, Betty Hodge, Anita Faye Lallement, Trudy Greenberg, James Gould, and Bill Glenn.

Under the leadership of Alma Ruth Funk, the Forum presented five outstanding personalities this year: Dr. Homer P. Rainey, Mme. Vujaya Pandit, Sidney Montague, Harrison Forman, and Andre Maurois. The Student Forum Board, directed entirely by stu- dents, consists of approximately forty members, with an executive council. Faculty sponsors are Dr. Earle R. Davis, Dr. Geraldine Hammond, and Dr. Francis J. Nock. With the help of three Board members, Al Munroe, Margie Yeager, and Bob Jackson, the executive council revised the constitution second semester and the Board ratified the changes. The new constitution, in order to provide for wider campus representation, allows a mem- bership of not more than 50 members to replace the previous maximum of 40 members.

Whan and Don Williams, speech instructors. Highlight of the season was winning first place at the Texas Invitational Debate Tournament at Austin, in February. Three teams attending the tournament included Paul Mitchell, Albert Witherspoon, Herbert James. Vernon McGuire, Pitsy Walker, and June Cale. Debating the question of compulsory military training, a new record was set by McGuire and James when they won all of their debates with a first and second speaker ranking respectively. Cale and McGuire each won second highest speaker ratings for their respective side of affirmative and negative in the tournament. At the Nebraska Invitational Debate and Speech Conference held at Lincoln, McGuire placed first in the radio newscasting event. James was rated superior in the discussion groups. Excel- lent ratings were awarded Cale, James, and McGuire in their de- bates on free trade. The Missouri Valley squad, which attended the tournament in March at Austin, Texas, con- sisted of Bob Fidler and Paul Mitchell, affirmative, and Herbert James and Vernon McGuire neg- ative. Debating the topic of arbitration of labor disputes, the squad tied with Kansas Univer- sity for third place. Fidler and Mitchell, as a team, placed second on the affirmative. Fidler tied for first as high speaker on the affirmative. Three new members were elected to Delta Sigma Rho, na- tional forensic fraternity, for their outstanding accomplishment in the field of speech.

MARY ELLEN HULL is pictured with one of the younger patients at the Institute. In the corner picture is DR. MARTIN F. PALMER, director of the Institute. .gzzsfifuie of .goqop ics NIQUE among the departments of the University is its Department of Logopedics, started eleven years ago under the direction of Dr. Martin F. Palmer. The term t'unique is used advisedly, for few schools in the nation have gone into this field so thoroughly and so extensively as has the University of Wichita. Derived from the Greek logo , meaning word, and orthopedics, the correction of defects in children, the word logopedics is defined scientifically as the 'fstudy and correction of speech defects . Many students are finding in this field, which offers untold opportunities for the broadening of scientific knowledge, a challenge to their abilities and an opportu- nity to render a great humanitarian service. At the Institute of Logopedics, just off the University campus, students enrolled in the Logopedics courses learn not only the theories of speech correction, but also the practical aspects of the profession. This is made possible through the Institute's clinical program, under which a continuous case load of over 175 children and adults each week receive training to remove or improve embarrassing Page 44 and hindering speech handicaps. Through the study and observation of these cases during actual corrective periods, the student is enabled to complete all the educational and experience requirements of the profession, and thus is thoroughly prepared to accept a responsible position when those requirements have been met. The field is one of the few that is not overcrowded. The Institute's activities are widespread. In addition to its teacher-training, research and corrective programs, it provides speech correction to veterans of World Wars I and Il whose battle injuries have resulted in speech loss or damage. It was the first organization to be so author- ized by the Veterans' Administration. Out-clinics are operated in other communities under the Institute's su- pervisiong and additional ones will be opened as rapidly as instructors can be trained to take them over. The Institute has grown rapidly, and is still growing. It is generally concluded that the department as it now exists is second to noneg but envisioned for the future is a large, model speech correction center which, by com- parison, will dwarf the present program.

Since that time expansion has been rapid. With almost S500,000 as a beginning, the Foundation has grown to include the entire top floor of the Science building and large office facilities on the first floor. Dr. W. B. Burnett acts as director. Organized upon a non-profit basis, the Foundation attempts to develop and maintain facilities for technological investigations in fields of chemistry, biology, physics, metallurgy, engineering, and other related natural sciences. The Foundation is particularly concerned with the problem of agriculture as related to industry. It develops and processes natural resources and raw materials and makes surveys of market conditions and outlets. It also serves as a training ground for young scientists and outstanding science students of the University. Chief project this year was that of discovering new phases of chrome plating, and was undertaken in cooperation with the Beech Aircraft Corp. Dr. Lloyd McKinley headed the research operations. The Board of Governors includes: D. S. Jackman, chairman, W. M. Jardine, vice chairmang S. C. Brennan, James Buck, R. V. Christiang Sheldon Coleman, Charles J. Davis, B. F. Krehbielg and H. E. Zoller. Page 45 l Page 46 MMS 73 LLIZfq0W6l' NE of Kansas' oldest college newspapers, the Sunflower, celebrated its fiftieth anni- versary as the official Shocker publication. Editorial staff of the newspaper took a stand favoring the reestablish- ment of coalitions on the campus, of installing a cigarette machine in the Commons, and also suggested and favored other student demands. Through the Sunflower all school functions and school elections were announced as well as all social events reported. Members of the reporting group were given a chance to inter- view numerous prominent personali- ties. In short the paper attempted to function as the Mvoice of the campus during 1945 and 1946. Twenty-nine regular editions of the Sunflower and one extra an- nouncing the May Queen election were published this year. The Sun- flower, a regular four sheet tabloid size paper, is published every Thurs- day. First semester staff of the Sun- flower, pictured at the top of the page, was headed by Jo Ann Sullivan, editor-in-chief. Other staff positions were held by Lois Burrell, managing editor, Maxine Sargent, desk editor, Jerry O'Hurd, society editor, Bill Nelligan, sports editor, Dean Spurrier, assistant sports editor, and Reba Hol- loway, business manager. Second semester staff, in the lower picture, included Lois Burrell, editor-in-chief, Maxine Sargent, man- aging editor, Betty Dickman, desk editor, Betty Jacobs, society editor, Pete Greenbank, sports editor, Mar- jorie Morris, womenls sports editor, Bill Nelligan, advertising manager, and Reba Holloway, business man- ager. THE PARNASSUS, keeping pace with the times and with the largest enrollment in the history of the University, at- tempted to publish a fitting postwar yearbook, using the theme of the fiftieth anni- versary of Fairmount College, which was founded in 1896. An attempt was made to in- clude veterans' activities as they returned to the campus. Reba Holloway was ed- itor-in-chief, with an advisory board of Maxine Sargent and Lois Burrell. Bill Nelligan was business manager. Pictures depicting Fair- mount College life in 1896 were obtained from a scrap- book in the University Li- brary, compiled by Miss M. Alice Isely, former reference librarian. The library staff assisted in research on the history of the school. In 1902 the first Par- nassus appeared. It was pub- lished by the junior class of Fairmount College in a black six by nine inch cover. Its preface stated, Through fire and flood this book has passed,- for what? In a more serious vein, however, the class of 1903 must have thought it a worthwhile project for they echoed the sentiment, if a bit verbosely, which explains why the book is still appearing each year. They say, The class of 1903, realizing as they do, the faithful work and growing importance of Fairmount College, and rejoicing also in the golden opportunities which it offers and in the social gladness of the days which are fast slipping into the background of our lives, have determined to embody in this Annual some record of the work and play, the toils and the triumphs, and those frag- ments of daily incident which make up the mosaic of our lives. Thus the junior class, the class of 1903, began the tradition which has not been broken since. The first Parnassus was quite different in form than those of more recent days. The college yell was featured prominently on the first page. Ki, Yi, Yi, Sis! Boom!! Bah!!! Fairmount! Fairmount! Rah! Rah!! Rah!!! Then followed a college history, picture of the president. and small pictures of the faculty which numbered seventeen. A large space was devoted to the senior class, whose serious and world-shaking motto was All is subservient to industry. In this section were also featured lengthy dissertations entitled, The Seniors from a Senior's Point of View , which was almost a class prophecy, and then The Seniors from Somebody Else's Point of view, Recognizing that love plays an important part in college life, there appeared centered on a page the follow- ing poem: Left to Right-MAXINE SARGENT, BILL NELLIGAN, REBA HOLLOWAY, LOIS BURRELL arzzmsus Sfaff LOVE AND LOGIC Love and Logic met one day On the glowing heather: Said Love with gentle whisperings, 'tLet us walk together. Logic's bright eyes opened wide, As quick she answered, Never! The paths of Love and Logic, dear, Were never walked together. Featuring the senior class also were two pages depicting Ourselves as God Made Us . For each senior were given his characteristics, politics, favorite study, and nickname to remind him down through the years of his college days. A literary section featured short stories, poems, and other pieces, some of which were His Initiation , HA Fairmount Tragedy , The Proud Freshman , 'KAs Jake Saw It , and a play entitled, On the Car . Last page of the book showed a picture of several students looking toward a curtain. The caption was, We shall all meet again at the last roll callf' Advertisements were peppy, and some of the Wichita firms are still carrying on the tradition by advertising each year. One automobile ad featured a snappy little poem ending, They're toppy, accessible, compact and completeg Comfortable to ride in, and darned hard to beat. Although the Parnassus has changed a great deal in form, its spirit is still the same. Its purpose remains to record events of each year in such a way as to bring out the best of college days for students. In this, the fiftieth anniversary edition, it is hoped that we can give an inkling of an idea of the history of the school and some of the events passed through in transition to the modern University.

During the war the men were scattered to all corners of the globe, but were held together in a close bond by the monthly publication of the Recorder . Charles E. Dunn, an alumni, compiled news from all the men, and circulated the Recorder to a mailing list of some 700 names. George Angle was chosen president at a meeting in April. Next year the active chapter will again be back to a normal membership and all are looking forward to the resumption of competition in scholarship, intramurals and other activities.

First Lieutenant Army Air Corps Lapfer Eternal HE PHI UPSILGN SIGMA fraternity house at 1750 North Vassar began to take on a lively appearance as the men of the fraternity returned to take their place on the campus. The house, the oldest on Fraternity Row, was completely refurnished and redecorated for the Hold-timers and entertained the campus at a house-warming which reechoed the first dedication in 1939. Phi Sig social functions were inaugurated by an informal stag dinner at the end of 1945, which attracted brothers from the four corners of the world. The traditional sweater dance was given in honor of the newly-received Rectangle men and a spring semi-formal dance climaxed the school year. As one man, the active chapter became members of the Univets and the Rectangle fraternity. Old interests were quickly renewed in intramural activities and campus functions. Bill Cannon returned to spring football. Honest Dave Enoch rejoined the University Band, a cappella choir, and was selected for a member of the Varsity Committee. Jack Greene was named Mr, Esquire and Willis Bud Phillips, f'Mr. Brunette at the HYM dance. Neal Potts became a cheerleader during the basketball season. Dr. Ross Taylor served as sponsor for the group. Members of the fraternity who are back on campus this year are Jack Greene, George I-Iickok, Bud Phillips, Dave Enoch, Neal Potts. Claude Van Doren, George H. Brosius, Charles Jackman, Leonard Blood. Dan Dwyer, Thornton Anderson, Keith Isham, and Bill Cannon. -ij, ' F21 Olol I fl ' ll 0 g O Q ., or Qfzi Upsifon OFFICERS President , . JACK GREENE Vice President , GEORGE HICKOK Secretary .

The war-time coaching staff consisting of head coach Mel Binford and line coach Petel' Bausch tackled the difficult task of shaping a football squad from seven returning lettermen and a not too ample supply of eager prospects, some playing college football for the first time. A glance at the seasonls record shows that results were excellent. W.U.'s attempt to get into big-time football was boosted this year by her admission into the Missouri Valley as well as games with Tulsa and Kansas University. The University of Arizona, West Texas State, Drake, Tulsa and K.U. are the topnotchers scheduled for next fall. The return of Ralph Graham, director of athletics and head football coach, and John Lefty Olmstead, line coach, puts the 1946-47 football squad into the hands of former Shocker coaches, both discharged from the Navy during the second semester of school. Coaches Graham and Olmstead, experimenting with the new HZ formation, were well pleased with spring football practices and looked forward to a winning season this fall. Plans for holding Shocker games this fall at Lawrence Stadium until Veterans Field was ready were completed by Coach Graham on his return. With construction already begun on the new stadium, it was hoped that one or two of the late games could be played there. At the close of the past football season Coach Binford announced the names of 38 men who earned football letters. Two Shockers won positions on the K.U. All-Opponents and All- Missouri Valley teams. Chosen for an end position on the K.U. All- Opponents squad was Paul Walker, formerly of Indiana University, who was playing his first football for W.U. this year. Elected to one of the backfield spots on the All-Missouri Valley eleven was Linwood Sexton, outstanding player on the Shocker lineup during the past season. Sexton received additional honors during the year including honorable mention on the Associated Press All-Ameri- can team as well as being named honorary captain for the season by his teammates at the annual football banquet.

A total of eight touchdowns were tallied as the Shockers emerged victors 52-0. The fury of the Tulsa Hurricane eleven descended upon a small and inexperienced Shocker squad in Wichita's first conference game at Tulsa. Coach Frnka's power- house handed the Wichita team its initial defeat as the closing score read 61-0. The Shockers were able to cross the Kansas State goal but once when they journeyed to Manhattan and lost to the Aggies 13-6. With the score tied at 6-6 until the clos- ing minutes of play, Grimes passed to Weaver for K-State's winning tally with only 40 seconds remaining in the game. Wichita's lone score came in the second stanza as Sexton's pass to Hudgins in the end-zone was good for six points. The Shockers' next non-conference game was played on the home field with Washburn University, Fumbles and pass interceptions helped the Ichabods to a 14-0 vic- tory over W.U. that afternoon. Central Missouri Teachers bowed to the Shockers 25 to 0 as Wichita chalked up its second win of the season. Adding to the strength of the University eleven at this point in the season were returning vets Green, Keltner and Walker. In a United War Fund charity game at E1 Dorado the following week-end, the Shockers tangled with the Ramblers of Ft. Riley and were victorious by a 31-13 count. It was the first game of the year at Lawrence Stadium that saw the Shockers put up a terrific fight to hold Coach Henry Shenk's football squad to a 13-0 victory for Kansas University. The biggest crowd of the season turned out for the afternoon game. The University band, under the direction of Walter Duerksen, presented a new version of half-time entertainment that received great approval from the fans. Win number three was made at Pittsburg State Teachers College November 3 as the Shockers came out on the long end of a 40-19 score. A back injury put Sexton on the bench for a few weeks following the game at Pittsburg. A Homecoming crowd of more than 3,500 witnessed a thrilling pigskin game when the Shockers met the Kearney Air Base squad from Kearney, Neb. Gaining a total yard- age of 356, the W. U. team romped to a 34-6 victory. Highlighting the half-time ceremonies was the crowning of Phyllis Duncan as 1945 Homecoming queen. In their final game of the season and second confer- ence engagement, the Shockers gave fans that Hnever to be forgotten Thanksgiving Day football display that left even the old-timers blinking their eyes as they defeated Drake University 19-13. With but nine minutes remaining in the final quarter and trailing by two touchdowns, the Wichita eleven came to life and in four minutes had three tallies, one extra point, and another thrilling game won for W. U. A glance at the season's record shows the fine results of six wins out of ten games played.

Construction is underway again and it is hoped that the stadium will be ready for the first football game next fall. Building was first begun in 1939 with gov- ernment aid, but was discontinued during the war. A living and useful citation to 17,118 Sedg- wick County war veterans, Veterans Field will be used not only for University functions, but for public occasions, civic affairs, 4-H conventions, and other public uses. It will be available to the high schools for music and athletic occasions. By fall seating for 8,000 will be completed. Facilities for press, radio, and photographers will be furnished. On the west side beneath the stadium will be concession stands, showers, and lockers, and rifle range for R.O.T.C. The east side will accommodate a band room, assembly and storage room, and first aid station. Solicitation for funds was carried on by Uni- versity students on January 31. School was dis- missed for the day while students solicited. New campaign begins May 13 when solicita- tion of 3,200 business firms will be made. A barbecue kick-off for workers will be held that evening in the new stadium. Parent-Teachers Association will take up solicitation of homes on June 1. A Veterans Field office was established at the Lassen Hotel to take care of funds and direct affairs. Lee Cornell is chairman of the executive committee. ...

' - i- , ' 1' if ig L if 1 Q , afkefbaff By PAUL WALKER ASKETBALL FANS of the University of 'Wichita were convinced at the close of the 1945-46 net campaign that Mel Binford had served one of his most prosperous years as a hardwood master- mind. In the first year of Missouri Valley competition, Binford guided his netters to the runner-up position in the Valley and an invitation to the National Intercollegiate Basketball tournament at Kansas City. In three years of coaching for the Shockers, Mel has had to contend with losing his boys to the draft and in the 1945 season he finished the season with a total of six on the squad. This year he lost two valuable players in Brice Durbin, letterman, and Bob Hudgins. but the influx of veterans Jim Nebergall, Cliff Sickles, and Dick McClintock helped to turn the trick. Building a team around center Keith Oliver, forward Harold Beal, and guard Joe Krafels was Binford's strategy from the start of the season and proved successful as Oliver and Beal scored over half of the team's total points while Krafels proved invaluable at his back court position. Mel established the fact that any new veterans could make the team if they were in condition and the tactics proved successful again as Nebergall was playing very good ball when the season closed. The second meeting of the Oklahoma Aggies and W. U. proved to be the best contest of the season and the manner in which the Shockers outfought the rangy National Champions only to lose out in the final seconds was enough to make any true Shocker fan weep.

HE SHOCKERS opened the season at the Hutchinson Naval Air Station after a total of six days of practice and lost a heartbreaker after playing over their heads in bang up style. The non-conference games were lost early in the season as the Shockers dropped four of the first six games and then won all the rest. Warrensburg Teachers were the only non-conference foes that were capable of down- ing the victory-bred Shockers twice while the Black and Gold avenged every other defeat. In the conference play, the Binford-coached netters started out strong and upset the towering Creighton and Drake fives away from home, but were unable to maintain the pace and dropped three straight to Oklahoma A. 8z M., Washington and St. Louis. The small Shockers then appeared to hit their stride and downed Tulsa twice and repeated on Drake and Creighton while both Washington and St. Louis refused to come to Wichita for return games. Oklahoma A. gl M. presented the big game for the W. U. team and the Binford boys shot the works to knock off the National Champions when the two teams met at the Forum. Bob Kurland, seven foot center of the Aggies, was the deciding factor as he took charge of the play in the closing moments of play, but otherwise it was a Shocker show with the scrappy University of Wichita five outplaying the Aggies-all but Kurland. At the season's end the Shockers stood in the runner-up position behind the Oklahoma Aggies with six wins and four losses in Missouri Valley play and eight wins and four losses in non-conference play. if NJ Page 83 hr' prifzq paris Page 84 By PETE GREENBANK Top pictures show DON MOEHRING hurling the discus, as DALE MOORE takes a hurdle.

PRING of 1946-an amply populated campus with revived activity and renewed spirit has given much stimulation to the athletic department. The coaching staff, headed by Ralph Graham, recently discharged from the navy, have found new, eager talent to add color to spring sports. Track has always had an important position in spring sports, and Coach Charles Bidwell has found decided interest being taken in field training this year. First meet of the year was the College Invitation track meet held at the University April 5. Four colleges were entered in all track events. Those schools were Eldorado Junior College, Bethel College, Friends University, and Kansas State Teachers College. Twenty-six trackmen represented Shocker strength at this meet. Missouri Valley Track meet will be held here May 10 and 11. By this time football trainees will have added to the track strength. Every school in the Missouri Valley Conference will be represented in the meet. Such events as golf and tennis will be included. For the first time since pre-war days W.U. will once again be host at the state high school track meet May 17 and 18. This includes the best high school track teams in the state as decided by elimination. Turning back to second semester sports history finds the University of Wichita holding second place in basket- ball in the Missouri Valley Conference. Spring basketball practice, under Coach Binford, will review next year's team possibilities. Coach Graham turned his attention early in March to spring football practice. Lectures, routine drilling, lots of hard, earnest practice, and three scrimmage games gave the coach and football enthusiasts a candid picture of next fall's varsity team. More than 55 men turned out for this spring training, including 29 lettermen. The first scrimmage game was played on Saturday, March 30. Two such games succeeded this on consecutive Saturdays. Former lettermen and new students, most of whom were returned veterans, made up the three squads which participated in these full-game workouts. There was an almost complete turnover in team personnel as compared to last fall, and the spring training afforded the opportunity of forming, polishing, and laying the foundation for next fallls prospective squads. So far Coach Graham has six games set for next fall. Staff arrangement in the athletic department was completed early in March. ln charge of track and field training is Coach Charles Bidwell. Mel Binford is coach- ing the golf team, Ralph Graham supervises tennis, and John Lefty Olmstead is in charge of the outdoor intramural program. Five tennis matches are on schedule in addition to the tennis events in the Missouri Valley track meet. Golfers are progressing through a series of qualifying tournaments. Eighteen hole courses are used. Golf events in the Missouri Valley meet in May are to be played at the Country Club course. Intramural sports found their place in the athletic department this spring. All out for basketball were these following intramural teams: Univets A , Univets B , Ramblers AH, Ramblers B , Rectangle A , Rectangle B , Rectangle CH, and Rum Dums. Warren Lewis acted as intramural manager. f amen 5 paris By MARJORIE MORRIS OED sport enthusiasts found the sport program in full swing this year under the supervision of Gladys Taggart, Ruth Belew, and Thelma Bate- man, sport directors. First golf classes since pre-war were offered and Dave Trufelli, golf pro at the Crestview Country Club, gave additional instruction. Equestriennes found delight in Friday afternoon rides at the Bridle and Saddle club on their favorite steeds and some had entries in the fall and spring horse shows. Senior life saving courses were given by Dorothy Henkel and Ruth Belew and an Instructor's course was offered by the American Red Cross chapter, enabling students to obtain positions as lifeguards and swimming instructors this summer in the city pools and various camps. Intramurals began with all organizations out to win the sport plaque, and Joyce Saunders was named intra- mural manager. Early fall ushered in soccer with Dorothy Hodgson as manager. Independents came out victorious with Delta Omega and Pi Kap racing for second place and Alpha Tau placing third. Rifle aspirants displayed their skill on the rifle range with five women constituting a team. Alpha Taus placed first, Delta Omega scored second, and Sorosis third. Sarah Ann Haines was sharpshooter of the tournament. Shrieks of feminine voices were heard from the gym when the organizations clashed in the volleyball tourna- ment. Independents took first with Delta Omega second, and Sorosis third. Marjorie Stone, Independent, copped first place in the ping pong tournament after many weeks of rounds and eliminations, defeating Helene Howell, Delta Omega, and last year's winner. Beverly Coldsnow, Alpha Tau, held her own and placed third. Plenty of vigor was displayed on the basketball court. However, they couldn't defeat the Independents and, although Delta Omega and Pi Kaps gave them some stiff competition, they came through with flying colors to win the tourney, while Delta Omega rated second and Pi Kap third. Katie Parham was basketball manager. Spring sportlights were focused on baseball, swim- ming and tennis. Independents continued their list of victories and were undefeated during baseball season with Alpha Tau placing second and Pi Kap third. Jo Miller was baseball manager. Alpha Taus swam their way through the swim meet to take first honors with a score of 34.5 and Pi Kap racing for a second with a score of 30.5. Kappa Rho placed third with 18.5 points. Marge Morris was swimming manager. Tennis again placed Independents first on the list with Dorothea Doles and Marjorie Stone placing first and second, Rhoda Capps, Sorosis and Joan Ray, Pi Kap, at the moment stand in third place. Scores for the year's sport activities were tabulated and the sport plaque was presented to Independents by last year's winner, Delta Omega, at the annual W.R.A. banquet. Points are as follows: Independents, 195g Alpha Tau, 1253 Pi Kap, 110. Page 85 A 9524 .. ' Y . , p fx M 'P 3 2 Q if , . ., 1 X .
