It is here not only to mark the end of one world era and the beginning of another, but to be a milestone and marker in the life of every University of Wichita student. The past half century and the past year have been laden with events of world consequence, events which will shape the future of millions in the years to come, events you will not forget. The staff of the l95O Parnassus realizes the importance of these events to you and the world, but we have not tried to chronicle them or interpret their importance. Our sole purpose has been to produce a permanent record of the memories of a year on the campus. We have tried to iniect the personalities of 3,300 people into the book by portraying with pictures and words fragments of their lives and activities during the year. We have tried to chronicle events, both trivial and important, that you wish to remember next year, the year after that, and even fifty years hence. We spent hundreds of hours in planning, gathering material, taking pictures, writing copy, and worrying. We have hoped that we could produce an annual that would do iustice to you and the University of Wichita, and furnish many people with many happy hours of reminiscence. If we have succeeded, it is only because of the cooperation received from the administration, our sponsors, the Board of Student Publications, the organizations and clubs and you, the students. We sincerely thank all of you. W AM Umm Editor ijwwe up Confenla . . . 62655505 CMM Sparta X 3,251.1 tleg f PAGE 4 ibecbca fion This book is proudly dedicated to President Harry F. Corbin, whose capabilities, understanding, and good nature already have carved for him a place of honor and respect on the campus. ln his first year as president of the Univer- sity he has won many new friends. Mr. Corbin is a young man taking over the leadership of a young school, and although one of the most youthful University presidents in the nation, we believe he is never- theless one of the most capable. He has taken upon his shoulders the weighty burden of responsibility that accom- panies the task of training young men and women for the role of leadership in a democracy. We wish him good luck and success in all endeavors. 14 qwedriage rom Our lgrediclenf This mid-century year has indeed been a busy one at the University of Wichita. ' lt has been a fruitful year and one of which we may all be proud. Our progress and achievement has been made possible only through the fine cooperation and mutual under- standing of students and faculty. While our excellent record in the past will serve to encourage our future efforts, many of the little incidents which made this year such a happy and successful one will soon fade from our memories as new experiences crowd in upon us. The Parnassus is a pictorial record of many of these activities which will remind us in years to come of both the serious and the lighter side of college life. I know there is a great future for the University and I hope that each of you will con- tinue to take the keen interest in all its activities that you have in the past. A great University move!

Through these doors pass most of the students on the campus. After the Institute of Logopedics moved to its new little village, the iournalism and speech departments took over. It now houses the Sunflower newsroom, the Parnassus office, station KMUW and other offices of the two departments.

Hekhuis of Liberal Arts, is never too busy to stop and talk with any student who might seek advice. He considers his office a talking post for students. His many activities on the eampus include serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Wichita Guidance Center. The Dean's extra-curricular activities consist of serv- ing on the Budget Committee of the Community Chest, Quivira Council of Boy Scouts, and teaching a Sunday School Class. Gall 0 mlfllelfl One of the busiest offices on the campus is that of Dean Grace Wilkie. As Dean of Women and head of the home economics department, Dean Wilkie finds plenty of work and activities to keep her busy. Keeping files on all clubs and their activities is only a small part of the work confronting her, yet girls always find helpful advice and suggestions on any problem. Although ill part of the second semester, and absent from the office, Dean Wilkie still took an active interest in campus problems from her bedside. udinedfi .xgclminia frafion Frank A. Neff, dean of the College oi Business Administration, has been affil- iated with the University of Wichita since its founding as a Municipal institution in 1926, Prior to that time he was asso- ciated with Fairmount College. Dean Neff enioys working with young people and has plenty of yarns to spin during a 50-minute class period. He's a golfing dean and at one time shot in the 70's. The Dean graduated from Lafayette College in 1906 and is one of Harvard's 1910 master degree recipients. Coffege of alclucafion Leslie B. Sipple, dean of the College of Education for 21 years, attributes any success he has had as a dean and pro- fessor to his fondness for teaching and his affection for young people. Dean Sipple maintains, lf l were do- ing it all over again, I would still be a teacher. Dean Sipple is from Mexico, Mo. His first teaching iob in a rural Nebraska school included ianitorial work and paid only S65 a month. ine .Arid Thurlow W. Lieurance, Dean of the College of Fine Arts, is outstanding in the music world. He has brought honor and recognition to the University. Dean Lieu- rance is a composer and authority on Indian music, and his composition By,the Waters of Minnetonka is known the world over. Dean Lieurance lived for years among the American Indians to study their mu- sical culture and rituals. For 20 years the Dean played his compositions in concerts over America.

By John Mileham When ten students filed across the stage before the school president in 1899 at Fairmount College, they constituted the first of many graduating classes. This year, a half century later, 496 men and women donned cap and gown to receive diplomas from the same school, now known as the University of Wichita. Strangely enough, the University of Wichita wasn't founded as a co-educational university, but as a preparatory school for young ladies in the Wichita area. It was to be called the Wichita Ladies' College. ln i886 the Rev. J. H. Parker, minister of the Plymouth Congregational Church in Wichita, proposed plans for founding a college for young ladies. The school was to be located east of the city and would consist of one large building for offices and classrooms and several smaller cottages which would serve as living quarters for the students. . The main building was to have a large observation tower with a powerful telescope that would provide an interesting view of the surrounding countryside. The telescope was to be the most powerful in the Southwest, and the observation tower would be open to the public one day a week but otherwise would be used for study by the students. With plans completed, the building was started, and construction proceeded rapidly until, due to the lack of money, the proiect had to be abandoned when half completed. For five years the half-completed building stood untouched. Finally additional 'funds were secured and the building was finished. At this point it was decided by the school officials that a co-educational school would be of more value to the community. With this change, and because of the school's location atop a hill overlooking the countryside, the name Fairmount Col- lege was suggested and adopted. On September l5, 1892, Fairmount College was officially opened. .gznior fgcem . . . 1950 S P tL P dent AI Littleton . .

The seven outstanding women of the class of 1950 were Mariorie Van Camp, Epsilon Kappa Rho, Sue Bowers, unaffiliated, Mary Faith Pellett, unaffiliated, Mildred Hiteshew, l.S.A.p Shirley Galatas, Delta Omega, Betty Knocke, Alpha Tau Sigma, and Kathleen House, Pi Kappa Psi. Election to the group is based on scholastic standing, quality of service, outstanding character, and leadership in campus activities. The Women's Honor Group, which patterned its activities along lines acceptable to Mortar Board, National Women's Honor Society, sponsored a leadership conference in November and a tea for recognition of outstanding sophomore women in April. PAGE 'I6 7 ell 5 0l'l0I' l 0bLl9 Five senior men were initiated as members of the i950 Men's Honor Group, March 30, following their election by last year's honor five. This year's honor men are William L. Beck, Col- lege of Education, Howard C. Current, Vincent Gott, Harold Kemper, and Robert M. Langenwalter, all College of Liberal Arts students. The induction cere- monies were conducted by Lester Rosen and Art Hodges, 1949 honor men, in the office of Dean L. Hekhuis, head of the College of Liberal Arts. Election to the group is the highest honor bestowed upon University senior men. Qualifications for membership in the 30-year-old society are character, leadership, cooperative spirit, scholastic achievement, participation in extra-curricular activ- ities and campus citizenship. The new honor men were presented gold keys signifying their election to the group. PAGE 17 FIRST ROW ADAMS, DAVID ADAMS, KENNETH ADDINGTON, C. W. Accounting Club, 3, 4, ANDERSON.

Win or lose-the Wheaties' section at a basketball or football game never lets the team down. The wo- men attired in their uniforms of gold sweaters and black skirts create school spirit and boost the morale of the men playing the game. With the school band, the Wheaties aided in the send offs of the teams and participated in half-time skits and formations, Barbara Gist was named Wheat- ies Sweetie and Jimmy Nutter won the title of Jack Armstrong at the University of Wichita-Bradley cage game in the Forum. The gold sweaters and black skirts of the Wheaties were made the official uniform this year. The club is the local branch of the national pep club organization of Phi Sigma Chi.

Among the proiects accomplished by the organization this year is the annual Freshman Varsity, at which time Pat Perrin and Ralph Peake were named Varsity Sue and Sam. Also along the social side was a Halloween party held in the Commons Lounge. President Harry F. Corbin and ten outstanding senior men were honored by the Y.W.C.A. at the annual Haul Your Man Ball. Clara Frances Rumpt, chairman of Y.W.C.A. World Relatedness Commission, was chairman of the World Stu- dent Service Fund. Della Bates arranged this year's Go To Church Sun- day at the First Presbyterian Church. Each year the University's Y.W.C.A. is well represented at the Estes Park Summer Conference in Colorado. This year's officers included Shirley Galatas, Mariory Van Camp, Mildred Hiteshew, and Carolyn Counts. Shirley Galatas, president, spent six weeks at the University of Chicago Y.W.C.A. Presidents' School in preparation 'for her leadership of the organization.

The club, which is an honorary organization this year for the first time in two years, chooses its members by a number grading system after watching modern dance students dance. The members presented a modern dance symposium at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia earlier in the year, performed for a Veteran's Hospital show, danced in the opera The Bartered Bride, and entertained at the May Day Coro- nation ceremonies for the May Queen and her attendants. The Modern Dance Club is open to men and women alike, but this year had no men applicants.

'A Z J., By JACK CAMPBELL What the University football Shockers lacked in brilliancy of a season record, they made up for in individual performances during the 1949 pigskin parade. Jimmy Nutter, Eddie Kriwiel, Francis Oleksak, Walt Knocke, and Bob Harclerode grabbed high national and conference honors in helping the Shockers to earn a fourth place Missouri Valley standing with a record of two wins, three losses and one tie. Nutler was named to a halfback post on the All-Missouri Val- ley team after he had led the conference in scoring with 73 points, led the conference in punting with a 42.2 yard average per kick, and was the third best pass receiver in the Valley with 510 yards. Nutter also received honorable mention on the All- Midwestern football selections by the Associated Press. He cli- maxed his honor garnering by being chosen the most valuable athlete in Wichita at the first annual Father and Son Sports Show at the Forum. Kriwiel was elected by his teammates as Wichita's most val- uable player after he earned himself a third place national rating in total offense. He ran and passed for a total of 1,697 yards. His passing alone garnered 1,253 yards for an eighth place national rating and a second place Valley rating. These feats earned him a halfback berth on the All-Missouri Valley second team. Oleksak, one of the scrappiest guards to ever don the Black and Gold, was named to International News Service's AIl-Mid- lands second team as well as the All-Valley second squad. Knocke, an end, and Harclerode, a tackle, also did Herculean iobs in the line and took All-Valley second team positions. As a team, Wichita's passing average was 144.9 yards per game which placed it above such elevens as Notre Dame, Army, California, and Rice in the final national statistics. Pointing towards a top Varsity next year was the perform- ance of the University's unbeaten freshman team. lt romped over Tulsa Frosh 14 to 13, Hutchinson Junior College 20 to 18, Okla- homa A and M Frosh 20 to 0, and Fort Riley 20 to 7 for the best first year showing in history. Herb Eddington, halfback, was named the most valuable player of the squad by his teammates. After the fine work of Freshman Coach Bob Carlson, Varsity Coach Jim Trimble should find it an easier task to mold a Missouri Valley title contender for 1950. PAGE 58 Shocker end, Mike Knopick, All-Missouri Valley selection in 1948, is shown after receiving his last pass against Miami of Ohio. A few plays later, he suffered a knee iniury which kept him sidelined for the re- mainder of the season. HOUSTON, Oct. 1 - lPARl -The University of Houston, playing in only its fourth season of football, overpowered the University of Wich- ita 26 to 6 in an intersectional clash. Little Eddie Kriwiel, diminutive halfback, romped 24 yards around right end for the Shockers' only score late in the third period. The game, played before 12,000 fans, was marred by 17 fumbles due mainly to the 80 degree tempera- ture. Wichita recovered 8 of Hous- ton's 11 misplays. WICHITA, Sept. 23-iPARl-The University of Wichita Wheatshockers were defeated by Miami of Ohio 23 to 6 in their initial football contest at Veterans Field. Halfback Eddie Kriwiel accounted for the only Shocker touchdown, while John Pont and Mel Olix, Miami backs led the Redskin attack. Mike Knopick, All-Missouri Valley end for the Shockers in 1948, re- ceived a knee iniury early in the contest which, according to Trainer Les Needham, would keep him out of play for the remainder of the season. The Texas sun and an improv- ing Houston University eleven wore the Shockers down, 26 to 6, at Houston Oct. 1. Those Munies in distant pursuit of the Cougars' Bill Tingle are Bob Gresock 1771 and Tommy Allen l84l. PAGE 59 l Y Z 1 W ' f T' ' from 4 x i STILLWATER, Nov. 19-lPAR1- Oklahoma A and M outscored the University of Wichita, 47 to 20, in a rough and ragged Missouri Val- ley football game at Lewis Field Stadium. Some 12,000 spectators witnessed the clash that saw three players eiected and 10 carried from the field with iniuries. Twenty-three penalties totalling 215 yards were assessed. Wichita surprised the Aggies by coming out with a double-wing at- tack to go with its usual single wing. This unexpected maneuver gave the Shockers the game's first score in the first five minutes when a Kriwiel-to-Nutter pass connected. In one of the roughest games played all season, Oklahoma A and M thumped the Shock- ers 47 to 20 at Lewis Field, Stillwater. Dillard Luther 1711 assists in the tackle of Aggie Ed Roof. Eddie Zegler l211, Jim White 1331, and Bob Martin 1681 are shown mov- ing into play. RENO, Oct. 15-lPARi-The Uni- versity of Wichita dropped its third intersectional football game of the season to the University of Nevada Wolfpack, 20 to 7. Nevada built up a 20 to 0 lead at halftime, but was actually out- played during the fourth quarter when Wichita scored its only counter. The services of Shocker end Ed Szczepanik were lost indefinitely when he iniured a leg early in the third period. A referee squats to check the play as Nevada's Johnny Sub- da is brought down. Shocker backs Eddie Kriwiel 1421, Hap Houlik 1141, and Jimmy Nutter 171 rush in from the secondary. The Wolfpa:k staved off a second half Shocker rally to win 20 to 7, at Reno. PAGE 60 Jimmy Nutter, flanked by Ed- die Zegler, dashes on his way to score one of his six touch- downs against Northern State Teachers of Aberdeen, S.D., at Veterans Field. The 91 to O Wichita victory broke the school's modern scoring record. TULSA, Oct. 29--iPARl-For the first time in 21 years of football rivalry, the University of Wichita downed the Tulsa University Golden Hurricane 27 to 21 in Skelly Sta- dium before 12,500 fans. Eddie Kriwiel, Shocker halfback, passed for all four of the Wichita touchdowns in establishing a na- tional record for total offense in a single game. He ran and passed for 318 yards. .limmy Nutter caught three of the scoring passes, and Tommy Allen snagged Kriwiel's last counting toss in the closing minutes of the game. WICHITA, Oct. 22-iPARl-The University Shockers let loose a rec- ord breaking barrage of touch- downs to slaughter Northern State Teachers of Aberdeen, S.D., 91 to 0 in Veterans Field. Anton Hap Houlik returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for the first Wichita score. Jimmy Nutter, halfback, scored 37 points during the afternoon. The entire Shocker squad of 36 men saw action during the contest which had more scoring than any other Wichita grid battle in recent history. End Tommy Allen 1841, drags a Tulsa tackler over the goal to give Wichita its winning score and its first football vic- tory over the Hurricane in his- tory. Allen grabbed Eddie KriwieI's 25-yard pass seconds before this picture was taken at Tulsa's Skelly Stadium. PAGE 61 l TY' H 'WW 'Thi' if l ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5-lPARl-The University of St. Louis Billikens rallied for two touchdowns in the final quarter to'tie the Shockers from Wichita 21 to 21 in a Missouri Valley conference game. Halfback Jimmy Nutter returned a Billiken kick-off 98 yards for a second period score to give the Shockers a 14-point lead at half- time. The Bills' tying touchdown came on a 35-yard pass with only sec- onds remaining in the game. Wichita's other touchdowns were scored by Johnny Swinehart and Eddie Kriwiel, while Tommy Allen kicked each conversion. Shadows steal across the sky at Walsh Stadium, St. Louis, as the Billikens stop a Shocker drive late in the fourth quar- ter. St. louis, which dropped football a month after this pic- ture was taken, scored a last- minute touchdown to tie the Shockers 21-21. WICHITA, Nov. 12-lPARl -The right toe of Dick Steere spoiled the Homecoming of the University of Wichita as the Drake Bulldogs edged the Shockers 7 to 6 before 10,000 fans in Veterans Field. Drake's John Bright, the nation's leading ground gainer passed 35 yards for the Bulldogs' tying score in the second period. Eddie Kriwiel had given the Shockers a 6 to 0 lead in the first period when he smashed over from the two-yard line after a sustained drive. The Shocker defense was effec- tive against Bright's running game as he gained only 52 yards in 20 carries. Eddie Kriwiel lhelmetl is bur- ied under an avalanche of Drake tacklers as he scores for the Shockers in the first half of Wichita's Homecoming game. Other identifiable Shockers in- clude Ray Morrison 1411, Jim- my Nutter l17l, and Walt Knocke 1861. PAGE 62 WICHITA, Oct. 8-- iPARi -The University football Shockers trounced Bradley 21 to 13 in the first Mis- souri Valley Conference game for both schools. The contest was played before 6,500 fans in Veterans Field. Shocker halfback Anton Hap Houlik's 46-yard touchdown sprint of an intercepted pass highlighted the ball game. Jimmy Nutter, fleet Shocker half- back, accounted for another score and gained Wichita several first downs by consistently turning Brad- ley ends.

The powerful Titans clinched the Missouri Valley cham- pionship by their victory over the Shockers which ended the season for both schools. WICHITA, Nov. 24 iPARi D troit University's Titans won the Mis- souri Valley title by crushing the University of Wichita Wheatshock- ers 33 to 7 in Veterans Field. An estimated crowd of 8,500 wit- nessed the Thanksgiving Day clash. The bruising Titan line which included 300-pound John Conti proved too rugged for the underdog Shockers. Mike Kaysserian, fullback, scored three times for the victors. The Shockers' only touchdown came early in the fourth period, when Eddie Kriwiel's passes began to click. After a series of successful aerials, Kriwiel hit Tommy Allen with an 'li-yard toss for the score. Allen also converted. amen in .spaorfd A scrapping Pi Kappa Psi team opened the women's athletic year by walking off with top honors in the fall soccer tournament. They held a record of three wins and no defeats. Pi Kaps continued their winning streak in the intra- mural volleyball tournament. However, after winning two games they bowed, 30-25, to Alpha Tau Sigma's powerful team in the championship contest. Alpha Tau's Gynith Giffin, spiking artist, and Janet Tiede, Lois Hutton, and Beverly Regier, three of the team's top scorers, proved too strong for the Pi Kap club even though they had Gracie Hopper, top scoring ace in the tournament, and Phyllis McMichael, a fight- ing team player. Alpha Tau finished the tournament undefeated. The team breezed to the finals defeating Sorosis, 57-l5, Delta Omega's A team, 57-20, and Delta Omega's B squad, 76-5. Battling on the hardwood to determine this year's basketball champions were: Sorosis, Delta Omega, ln- dependent Students Association, last year's basketball champions, Pi Kappa Psi, last year's runnerup, and an Unaffiliated team, the school's first in T4 years. With the coming of spring, tennis, softball, swim- ming, rifle, and outdoor volleyball and badminton tournaments took the spotlight. Other activities during the women's sport year included dancing, golf, bowl- ing, ping-pong, horseback riding, archery, tumbling, track and ice skating. Over 40 American Red Cross certificates were awarded in the fall to outstanding swimmers, and a ballet swimming class was organized this semester for the first time. Behind all sports activities were Women's Recrea- tional Association, Physical Education Maiors' Club, Honorary Modern Dance Club, and Pegasus, the Horse- back Riding Club. Women's athletics were under the supervision of Gladys M. Taggart, professor and head of women's physical education, Beverly A. Secord, women's phys- ical education instructor and director of intramura's, Mrs. F. E. Robinson, women's dancing and swimming instructor, and Mrs. Lucille Bailey, part time instructor in women's physical education. I. THE UNIVERSITY OF WICHITA SHOCKERS ATHLETIC STAFF. Standing: Herman E. Meyer, Business Manager of Athletics, Jim Valek, line coach, Les Needham, trainer, Earl Hamilton, golf coach. Seated: Ab Bidwell, track coach, Norval Neve, backfield coach, .lim Trimble, head of department, and Ken Gunning, basketball and baseball coach. .fdfkific The 1949-50 Shocker athletic teams are coached by eight men who have graduated from the ranks of outstanding college athletes to the ranks of college coaches. The staff is headed by Jim Trimble, Athleti: Director and head football coach. He took over as head man in 1948 after serving as line coach for two years under Ralph Graham. He attended the University of Indiana where he played in the North-South All-Star football game and was selected for the Chicago Tribune's 1941 All-Star team. He also held a position on the All-Big Ten team. Before coming to Wichita, Trimble was line coa:h at Indiana and served as Lieutenant in the Navy. His home town is McKeesport, Ind. Norvall Neve, backfield coach, is a former Fort Hays State Teachers College athlete and Kansas State College backfield coach. He also coached in a high school where he made one of the best high school coaching records in Kansas: 87 wins, 13 losses and one tie. Neve's home town is Bison, Kans. Jim Valek, end coach from Joliet, Ill., joined the Shocker coaching staff this fall after graduating from the University of Illinois last spring. Valek was named to an end position on the All-Big Ten team and was voted the most valuable player at Illinois last year. He also won All-State honors in high school. Earl Hamilton, chief scout and freshman coach starred for the Shocker football team before graduating in 1948. He was an outstanding quarterback and led the way as Wichita ball carriers shattered national rushing statistics from 1946 to 1949. Ken Gunning, head basketball coach also gained recognition in athletics at the University of Indiana. He was selezted to the All-Big Ten basketball team during the 1934-35 and 1935-36 seasons and was named All-American in 1936-37. After graduation, Gunning played professional basketball for one year before accepting a coaching position at New Mexico State Teachers College. His ,home town is Shelbyville, Ind. Bob Carlson, freshman basketball coach, was a member of Minnesota's national championship football teams in 1935 and 1936. A former aide to Bernie Bierman at the University of Minnesota, Carlson took over freshman football and basketball coaching duties here this year. Les Needham, trainer, came to the University in 1945 after holding training iobs at Kansas State Teachers College in Pitts- burg and at El Dorado Junior College. Needham attended these two schools and participated in all sports. JIM TRIMBLE PAGE 65 I T Z Y W Z W Y I I9 O .SJAOCLQP 6098106 The University of Wichita basketball team experienced its most unusual season in recent years, during 1949-50. The Shockers won their first six games in a row, were one of the nation's few undefeated teams late in December, and were touted by Oklahoma Aggie coach Hank lba as the team to watch in the Missouri Valley Conference. Coach Ken Gunning's crew then took a trip to Texas and dropped three games in a row. However, the shock of these defeats was quickly erased when the Munies opened their conference season by upsetting Okla- homa A and M, 38 to 37, the first Shocker victory over the Aggies in history. That win established Wichita as a title threat that had the entire Missouri Valley wondering about the team from the airplane city. But that victory was the last the Shock- ers were to enjoy for the 1950 season. Wichita tumbled into a 14-game losing streak which gave the Munies one of their worst final season standings in recent years. Dec. 3, Wichita inaugurated its season by dropping a mediocre Phillips University of Enid, Okla., quintet, 57 to 48. John Fried- ersdorf, sophomore, bagged 26 points to lead the Shocker attack. Dec. 6, West Texas State of Canyon, Tex., fell before Wichita 67 to 61. The Buffaloes were one of the strongest teams faced by Wichita during the year. They went on to post an 18 and 9 record for the campaign. Dec. 10, the Shockers thumped Oklahoma City University, 61 to 37 with Friedersdorf sinking 18 points. OCU went on to annex the All-College tournament title at Okla- homa City, beating Baylor, Oklahoma A and M and Wyoming. Following another victory over Phillips University, 58 to 37, the Wichitans whipped Texas Christian University 65 to 48 for their fifth straight win. Friedersdorf again topped the scoring with 22 points. Dec. 22, Creighton University, which had beaten Kansas University earlier in the sea- son, bowed to the high-riding Shockers, 70 to 53, for their sixth consecutive. Then, dur- ing a holiday road trip through Texas, Wich- ita began to fade. The Munies dropped three games to TCU, Rice, and Houston University respectively. Returning to the Wichita Forum, where they were still unbeaten, the Shockers scored their most important victory of the year. They edged Oklahoma A and M, 1949 NCAA Western Regional champions, 38 to 37. lt was the first time the Munies had ever beaten their Missouri Valley rival in the cage sport. Friedersdorf had 13, and Don Toevs and Hank Hemingway each bagged eight for the victors. That win over A and M gave the Shockers a 7 and 3 season record and a 1 and O con- ference record. Odd as it may seem, the Aggie victory, Jan. 7, was the last time dur- E-rw-me Sxwfwmk, s .,::v ii Wfgm 2 2 3 5 4 M I f s 3113- Q YV? -.

At home or away the Wheatshockers iust couldn't win as they dropped 14 consecutive games to Tulsa University, Detroit University, St. Louis University, Missouri University, Creighton University, Drake University, Ok- Iahoma City University, Detroit University, Bradley University, Tulsa University, St. Louis University, Bradley University, Oklahoma A and M College, and Drake University respec- tively. Wichita's final season record was seven wins and 17 losses, while its conference rec- ord of one win and 11 losses left the Shock- ers in the Missouri Valley cellar for the 1949-50 campaign. Salvaging a portion of success for the Shocker season, Friedersdorf was given hon- orable mention in the ColIier's magazine All-District Five selections which included Missouri Valley and Big Seven schools. Fried- ersdorf and Toevs won honorable mentions in the Associated Press All-Missouri Valley listings. Bradley University, Missouri Valley cham- pion which scored two 12-point victories over the Shockers, was named the nation's top team in the Associated Press final weekly basketball poll. The Braves went on to annex second place in the National Invi- tational Tournament at New York's Madison Square Garden, March 18. MISSOURI VALLEY STANDINGS W L Pd.

Adding to the Shockers' strength were returning lettermen Al Littleton, Joe Min- iares, and Jack Douglas. Littleton, outstand- ing University linksman, captured the city championship in '48 and '49, was Kansas Amateur Champ in '47 and '48, but was eliminated in the semi-finals of the State tourney last season. Other golfers who entered the qualifying tourney which began April 3 were, Erving Coffey, Levester Thompson, Dan Smith, Don Hill, and Jess Richards. Freshmen linksmen were Maurice Bowen, Ben Witherspoon, and Dick Adkisson. Trips by the four-man traveling squad were made to Tulsa University at Tulsa, Kansas State College at Manhattan, Okla- homa University at Norman, Oklahoma A 8. M at Stillwater, Emporia State Teachers Col- lege at Emporia, Illinois Wesleyan at Bloom- ington, and the Missouri Valley Tourney at Bradley in Peoria. Earl Hamilton, in his first year as Shocker golf mentor, was pleased with early varsity scores and was hopeful of a successful season. PAGE 68 On lie fibiamon ln the third year of baseball at the Uni- versity of Wichita, Coach Ken Gunning and the baseball squad faced their most ambi- tious schedule. Games were slated with such powerhouses as Kansas State College, the University of Nebraska, Tulsa University, and Oklahoma A 8. M. Ten lettermen were on hand at the start of spring practice, with several promising sophomores pushing their way onto the roster. The lettermen include: Harold Rey- nolds, Bob Douglas, Jimmy Nutter, Vince Norman, Deb Saunders, Eddie Kriwiel, Clin- ton Park, Bill Schofield, Ed Houlik and Quincey Utter. John Friedersdorf and Hank Hemingway headed the list of the promising prospects from the sophomore class. At the start of the season Gunning was hopeful that the team would be better than those of the two previous seasons because of improved pitching. PAGE 69 O11 ik? Grwle '- ti PAGE 70 P6 Shocker trackmen completed a successful season under the direction of Ab Bidwell, winning third place in the Missouri Valley Con- ference Relays and hosting at the University of Wichita Relays, as well as setting new Uni- versity records. Facing tough competition in the Valley Con- ference, the University amassed a total of 40 points, compared to 97 for Oklahoma A. and M., and 55 V2 for Bradley. Drake was fourth with 39 points. The University was host to ten of the state's top high schools in the fifth annual University of Wichita Relays, April 14. Wesley Hodge, University speedster, equaled the old University record of 9:8 for the 100- yard dash at the Kansas Relays in April. Sam - ' hurdles record of 14:9 at the Shocker-A. and M. dual meet, while Ira Barkman set a new school record of 47 feet, one and one-half inches in the discus throw at the Wichita-Fort Hays dual meet. Walt Byfield also established a new Shocker record when he heaved the iavelin 195 feet, 7 inches, at the Kansas Relays. At the Missouri Valley Conference, the Shocker trackmen took firsts in the pole vault and the discus, second place in the high iump and iavelin and placed third in several events. University frosh defeated four Kansas high schools and iunior colleges at the University of Wichita Invitational track meet, April 27. Shocker Walt Byfield hurled the iavelin 181 feet, two inches, in the third annual Oklahoma A. and M. meet. The University placed fifth in the competition.

Approximately 750 students took part in intramural sports this year under the guid- ance of Robert Kirkpatrick, instructor in Men's Physical Education. Activities which were on the i950 intramural agenda in- cluded touch football, volleyball, speedball, basketball, tennis singles, tennis doubles, ping-pong, wrestling, softball, a cross coun- try race, track and basketball. The cage game proved to be most popular with so many participants going out for the sport that two leagues had to be formed, the Black league and the Gold league. Additional interest in the league races was provided when the faculty team entered the Black league and the Kigmies, a squad consisting of members not taller than five feet seven inches, ioined the Gold league. PAGE 71 PAGE 72 On fAe C0lfl,I'tJ Back in April of 1897, a cry was heard around the Fairmount College campus for tennis courts on which students could en- gage in competition. Supporters of the net game 'felt that such a playing area would do much to further the standing of the court game in the University sports picture. This season as the Shocker netmen pre- pared to embark on a schedule which would pit them against opponents such as Kansas State, Oklahoma A 8. M, Oklahoma Univer- sity, and Tulsa University, there were high hopes that those pre-century cries would not be let down. High-ranking on the agenda of the Shocker team, was revenge for last season's defeats suffered against Tulsa and Okla- homa A 8. M,iwhich contributed most to the poor season's record. Remembering that the University's basketball team upset 'favored A 8g M, and that the Shocker football eleven upended Tulsa, the tennis candidates held high hopes that they also would ioin their schoolmates in boosting the University's sport reputation. The 1950 team was led by Coach Bob Carlson, and returning lettermen were Woody Wood and Fred Davidson.

Carlene Sturges and Abbie Troup were Y.W. C.A. cabinet members, and Carolyn Counts served as Y.W.C.A. secretary. Abbie Troup was Mike Rogues secre- tary, and Jo Ann Smith was president of Pegasus. Mary Ann Reed was vice president of the panhellenic council, and also AWS secretary. Gea Stark headed Wheaties pep club, Mary Helen Wall was Student Forum social chairman, and board members included Nancy Baugh, Carol Howell, Jo Ann Smith, Suzanne Gray, Carolyn Counts, and Abbie Troup.

The ground break- ing ceremonies were held on July 10, 1949, and open house for the alumni chapter was November 12, Homecoming day. Delta Omega was founded in 1916 by three members of Sorosis and Alpha Tau Sigma sororities who met under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Sprague. Upon Miss Sprague's death in 1936, Mrs. Clayton Staples became sponsor, and served until 1948. Mrs. Garland Scott is present sponsor.

But this year, in the absence of Dr. Branch, Mrs. Laura Cross, assistant registrar, has acted as sponsor. So- rority meetings were held in Fairmount Hall until i926 when the organization occupied the former Pi Alpha Pi house. From there it moved into its present quarters on Clough Place. During Homecoming, Pi Kaps won first place prize for house decorations, and at first semester initiation, the pledges presented the active chapter with the large crest which is now over the entrance of the house. Bonnie Moore was selected Hon- orary Colonel by R.O.T.C. members and Shirley Tegeler was named Hon- orary Cadet Captain of the local Pershing Rifles group.

Founded on May twentieth, 1915, the fra- ternity was the first to use the pledging system and the membership by unanimous vote method, and the first to erect a frater- nity house on the campus. The fraternity was founded by Dr. C. C. Harbison, J. Lynn Beebe, George Haun, and Frank Wood, Jr., because they felt the old literary fraternities on the campus were out- moded. Pi Alph founded Phi Upsilon Sigma in 1926, and Zeta Delta Epsilon was absorbed in 1935 when that fraternity was de-acti- vated. Around the campus, Bill Beck served as president of the Student Council, president of the Men's Panhellenic Council, and pro- portional representative. George Welch was the Cadet Colonel in ROTC, senior representative on the Student Council, and head of the varsity committee. Dave Marteney was iunior class president, and captain of Pershing Rifles, and Dick Johnston was executive officer of Pershing Rifles. Carl Goeller was elected to president of Colophon, honorary iournalism fraternity, and vice president of the iunior class. Pi Alph was host at the Paddle Party, the Christmas Formal, the Hobo Hop, and the Spring Formal Dinner Dance, which is the oldest social function of its kind on the campus. Officers for first semester were Ralph Hearn, president, Bill Stoebuck, vice presi- dent, Chuck Larson, corresponding secretary, Loyal Hus, recording secretary, and Jess Triana, treasurer.

It is an organization for both men and women, and the two groups maintain separate associations in addition to a gen- eral organization which unifies their efforts and plays the key role in all ISA activities. A new Brig located at T752 Fairmount is the headquarters for the Independents. ISA pur- chased the house last summer from Delta Omega sorority and partitioned it to accommodate both the men's and women's divisions. The ISA used book exchange, an outstand- ing accomplishment of the Independents, was moved to the Service Building, east of the Uni- versity bookstore. The local group sent representatives to the national ISA convention at Indiana University in addition to sending a large delegation of ISA members to the state convention in Topeka. Around the campus, ISA women defended the intramural plaque they won last year. The Freshman Merit Award was given away for the second time since it was revived last year. Millie Hiteshew was elected to the Women's Honor Group, and Shirley Smith and Jim Bain, editors of the ISA-Y for the first and second semesters respectively, had a full time iob put- ting out the newsletter once a month. Headlining the social events were the an- nual Christmas semi-formal, MistIetoe Mood, a Halloween dance, Voodoo Revel, two membership dances, Three R's Drag, and Bright Lights Party, and the traditional Barb Wire Tangle. Also included on the 'social calendar were several suppers and picnics. Sponsors of general ISA were Dr. Eugene Savaiano, Robert M. Ryan and H. A. Shumway. Mrs. Dorothy Gardner led the women's division and William D. Tuxbury guided the men's group. ., PAGE 93 QM ing i ed Company F, 7th Regiment, is the official name of the University of Wichita's chapter of Pershing Rifles, a military fraternity that was started in 1896 by the late Gen.

More than 500 alumni and former students were welcomed' at the festivities which began Friday eve- ning with the traditional bonfire and effigy-burning south of Veterans Field. As usual the campus fra- ternities supplied the wood for the bonfire, but this year it was on a non-competitive basis and Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, supervised the gath- ermg. Traditions play a more important part at Home- coming time than at any other time during the year, and one of those traditions is the annual beard- growing contest. After the pep-rally, a varsity was held in the men's gym and Dick Hunt, Alpha Gamma Gamma, was proclaimed the winner of the most unique beard by the women members of the Stu- dent Council. Homecoming Day dawned bitter cold and ex- tremely windy, but even through half-frozen faces, members of Pi Kappa Psi and Alpha Gam shouted for ioy when they learned they had placed first, in their respective divisions, in the house decorations contest. Sorosis and Epsilon Kappa Rho won second and third, respectively, in the sorority division while Phi Upsilon Sigma and Men of Webster tied for sec- ond and third place honors in the fraternity contest. Highlighting the activities were the Wichita-Drake football game and the annual Homecoming Ball. Even though the weather was brisk people crowd- ed into the grandstands at Veterans Field. Queen Knocke sat in a specially decorated box at the game and during half-time ceremonies was presented with a bouquet of yellow mums by Joe Hesse, alumni president. Four senior women who attended the queen were Vinita Hood, Pi Kappa Psi, Frances Asher, Sorosis, Joan Kincaid, Delta Omega, and Rita Lowe, Epsilon Kappa Rho. . 'The 1949 Homecoming came to a grand climax at the Ball Saturday evening when Mrs. Knocke was crowned Queen by Dick Mullen, Student Council president, before a capacity crowd in the men's gym. ' PAGE 107 Pastor, Miss Adele Castle, his vocalist, and portrait photographer Math Borniger met the seven lovely candidates for the title at a banquet at the Lassen Hotel preceding the Parnassus dance. They iudged the candidates on manners, per- sonality, character and beauty. Pastor said, I like to think of myself as a good iudge of feminine charm, but l've never had such a difficult choice to make. Choosing one of seven lovely queens to reign as queen supreme is no easy task. Over l,5OO voices were hushed as Tony Pastor, famous orchestra leader stepped to the New Moon microphone and smilingly announced the name of Joyce Lawrence as the 1950 Parnassus Queen. . l At left, is Joyce receiving a kiss and a dozen roses from Pastor as she was announced queen. She was then presented with a book-shaped gold locket by Bob Olson, Parnassus Editor, on behalf of the Parnassus staff.

Forty reporters covered 33 news beats, and 28 editing students worried and reioiced over their headline and copyreading results. Mistakes appeared, of course, and a few in- iured parties didn't always wait long to register their complaintf but, by and large, the staff and iournalism faculty were more than satisfied with the over-all product. Heading the staff for both semesters was Editor- in-Chief Bob Ames. Managing editor for the first six weeks of the year was Marvin Smith. .lack Cheg- The Board of Student Publications is a group of students and faculty members which selects staff members of the Sunflower and Parnassus and directs policies and the student publications. Left to right are Mike Miller, Dr. Robt. Frazer, head of the board, Henrietta Farrar, Dean Campbell, instructor in iournalismp Joan Kallail, Bob Ames and Al Littleton. PAUL GERHARD widden held the position the last twelve weeks of the semester and Michael Miller took over managing chores second semester. The desk editor's slot was occupied by Miller first semester and Chegwidden was pivot man second term. Geraldine Hunter and Joan Kallail were so- ciety editors first and second semesters, respectively. Estel Smith and Jack Campbell were in charge of sports coverage. Crusades and special editions highlighted the year with a safety campaign and a record-breaking, 32-page special inaugural edition, published in honor of the University's new president, Harry F. Corbin. The regular and special editions produced maior advertising problems for Business Manager Elmo Reiff and his assistant, Bob Malone, but the problems were met and advertisers and staff alike were satisfied. The journalism department enioyed two addi- tions during the year. The first was a complete change in the iournalism faculty with Dean Campbell returning to teach at his alma mater, and Paul Ger- hard, graduate of Colorado University, ioining the department in late September. The second change was the acquisition of rooms in the newly-remodeled Communications Building, which the department shares with speech and radio. Also guiding the future iournalists were Otis Hadley and Tom Ladwig, part-time instructors in advertising. DEAN CAMPBELL PAGE H9 arndddud To many the word Parnassus means a mountain in Greece sacred to Apollo and the nine Muses. To the staff of this yearbook the word holds o very different meaning. It brings to mind black coffee and droopy eyelids staring at hundreds of pictures to be classified and reams of copy to be edited. lt is synonymous with hours of worry and hard work, frantic rushing to meet deadlines, people not showing up for a picture, or other people screaming when not satisfied with one taken. ln addition to these things, Parnassus brings to the staff members' minds a pleasant feeling of satisfaction of a iob accomplished with some degree of skill and efficiency. It brings recollection of the many practical skills and theories learned during the production of the 1950 yearbook. At times Editor-in-Chief Bob Olson wondered if the book would be out on time, or if it would ever be out. Business Manager Jim Young had his share of prob- lems with the advertising and financial end of the publication. Joan Kallail handled the society material with the help of a host of first and second semester women reporters, while Jack Campbell was the official worry- bird for the sports section. Many reporters of the iournalism department wrote and rewrote thousands of words of copy, while photographers Rankin Greisinger, Gary Millsap, Hal Pottorf, Herschel Rorabaugh and Math Borniger took some 600 pictures of campus events and groups. Borniger also handled the queen portraits, and Wallace Studios took class pictures. The engraving was done by the Mid-Continent Engraving Company. Bill Dillman, Mid-Co president added many helpful ideas and suggestions to the pro- duction. Gifford Booth and the Grit Printing Company produced the finished book. l9anAef enic Women's Panhellenic Council, active on the campus since Dec. 13, 1929, when it received its charter, is set up to foster cooperation among the sororities, and to suggest solutions to common problems. The council makes rules for rushing and initiation and determines penalties for breaking these rules. Presidents from each sorority, a Junior member and a member at large, make up the council. Mariorie Van Camp was fall semester president and Betty Cadman directed second semester activities. Members on the council include for first semester: Alpha Tau Sigma, Mary Ann Reed, Betty Bartel, and President Betty Knocke, Delta Omega, Earlene McBride, Eleanor Pendleton and President Donna Baillie, Epsilon Kappa Rho, Bunny Robertson, Marjorie Van Camp, Rita Lowe, president, Sorosis, Betty Cadman, Sue Pearl, and Norma Hartenberger, president. The function of the Men's Panhellenic Council is basically the same as that of the Women's group. It consists of three members from each campus fraternity, who strive to create a better feeling of fellowship, to strengthen the bonds of unity and intimacy among the Greek-letter men and to consider, discuss, and regulate those phases of fraternal college life which are essential to all fraternities in common. Faculty advisor for the men's council is Dr. J. R. Berg who has served on the council for two years. Chuck Mayfield directed first semester activities and second semester president was Bill Beck. Members who made up the council for first semester were: Alpha Gamma Gamma, Bob Bueke, Don Pratt and Louis Harper, Phi Upsilon Sigma, Bub Elliott, Bob Langenwalter, Pi Alpha Pi, Bill Beck, lonnie Callen and Nole Estep, Web- ster, Frank Lemke, Bob Lewis, George Mueller. PAGE 121 f, 3 ts- ff All An interview with Fibber McGee and Molly, the AAU Bas- ketball Tournament, and President Corbin's inauguration were some highlights of KMUW, the University broadcasting sta- tion, this year. KMUW moved to the second floor of the Communications Building at the beginning of the second semester and began its first day of broadcasting there March 13. At the begin- ning of this year, it was located on the fourth floor of the Administration Building in the home of the original WUCR station. Beginning in l947 with only 30 minutes of recorded music, the station now carries seven hours daily of sports news, local and campus news, a guest hour, music from the Alibi, and popular and classical recordings. New shows added this year feature South American music, religious music, Ladies' Page, and the KMUW Roundup, a program of western music. Programming, operating, and engineering of the station is done entirely by students. Among the students who work in the station are Gene Torline, chief announcer, and Bill Veidt, program chairman. The station is under the supervision of Bob Williams who is head of the radio department. Williams came to the univer- sity this year to replace his brother Don, who has a leave of absence from the University. KMUW passed the inspection of the Federal Communica- tions commission on March l3. The station is operating on the FM band acquired last year, which gives it complete cov- erage of the Wichita area. The FM station has a frequency of 89.l megacycles, and operates on l0 watts. WUCR, the Uni- versity's AM broadcasting station was the first college sta- tion to have a carrier current, which is sometimes referred to as wired-wireless. git ibegafe of the University Forensic achievements d b te department this year included a first e a place tie in the University of Iowa Tourna- d ment, December lO and numerous other e- bates and oratory contests.

At the Grand National Debate Tourna- ment at Northwestern College in February the University teams were in the upper ten per cent of 72 participating colleges. The University was also represented at the University of Nebraska Invitational Debate and Discussion Conference, where the em- phasis was on effectiveness rather than win or lose. A rating of excellent was be- stowed on the University at the conference. Bob Stollenwerck, who entered the Oratory division, also received an excellent' rating.

PAGE 123 uziic lt is truly said that music hath charms and the University School of Music has proven it so, for it has charmed thousands of persons during the past two semesters with the presentation of more than 80 musical events. Since the creation, in July, of the School of Music from a department, its influence throughout Kansas and the Southwest has increased considerably. Under the guidance of Walter Duerksen, chair- man, the School has, in the last year, added two members to the music faculty: James Robertson, di- rector of the University Symphony and head of the orchestral department, and James Ceasar, assistant professor of violin. Also aiding in the instruction of students from various states are: Adrian Pouliot, music theory head, Gordon Terwilliger, head of the department of piano and organ, Harold A. Decker, head of the vocal department, James Kerr, director of bands, and Robert Buggert, director of graduate studies. During the football season, the recently formed Football Band gave the grid games added splendor by presenting such stories in precise formations as Say lt With Music and a Western Theme at the same time expertly playing the marches. The School of Music was host to thousands of high school musicians at two annual festivities this year. 4 More than l,l00 high school students participated in the Band Day ceremonies Oct. 22, and March 3l, over 5,000 musicians, representing 65 high schools, attended the district music festival here. Traveling again was one of the high points in the life of the University musicians. As its yearly trip, the Band went to Tulsa to play at the half-time cere- monies. The Orchestra traveled to St. Louis for a five-day trip and the A Cappella Choir included in its annual tour a number of Kansas towns. Highlight of the year was the presentation of Frederic Smetena's comic opera, The Bartered Bride, through the combined efforts of the School of Music and drama department. The music, singing, acting, and costuming seemed to exceed all previous University productions. Another great moment came when the A Cappella Choir sang for President Harry F. Corbin's inaugura- tion ceremonies and the orchestra presented one of its evening performances for the occasion. Only through the cooperation of all the Univer- sity's musicians, including other groups such as the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs, String Quartet, and many smaller instrumental and vocal groups, has success been achieved by the School of Music.

Corbin, lll. nomgurafion On the afternoon of March 9, in one of the most colorful and impressive ceremonies to ever occur on the campus, Harry F. Corbin was formally invested with the powers and duties of president of the University of Wichita. President Corbin's inauguration as the seventh presi- dent of the University was initiated by a formal aca- demic procession from the Women's Gym to the Univer- sity Auditorium. The procession included the Board of Regents, the faculty and 159 delegates representing l6l universities and 36 states. Among the delegates from other universities were I8 university presidents. PAGE l26 The invocation was given by the Reverend Thomas A. Williams, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Wichita, and special music was furnished by the Univer- sity A Cappella Choir. Dr. Ernest C. Colwell, president of the University of Chicago and President Corbin's former theology professor there, delivered the principal address of the ceremony. In the evening President and Mrs. Corbin were hon- ored at an inauguration dinner at the Lassen Hotel and later attended a special concert given in their honor by the University Symphony Orchestra. Following the con- cert was a student reception in the Commons. To culminate the activities of a busy day President Corbin attended the Inaugural Ball at the Broadview Roof Garden where he was serenaded by student groups. The University R.O.T.C.-338 men and a lady. This ensemble forms the entire personnel group of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, when regimental drill is called each Thursday morning in the armory. The men, 328 cadets and 10 Regular Army members of the teaching staff, and the lady, Miss Carol Pieratt, armory secretary for the past two years, embarked on the University's thirty-second year as a segment of government defense. Thirty-two years ago, on Feb. 15, 1919, the present governmental program began its University stay. The procedure, brought about mainly through the efforts of Dr. Frank A. Neff, present Dean of the College of Business Administration, and Prof. C. C. Harbison of the department of speech, supplanted that day's Student Army Training Corps program. Today, with the present 328 instead of the original 48 cadets in 1919, and the equipment, which is bonded for S100,000, the R.O.T.C. is well established within Shocker annals. lts purpose, to teach men to learn some phases of the military life, is under the direction of Col. Donald T. Beeler, professor of military science and tactics. The other staff members are Mai. Eddie Roberton, assistant professor for air, Mai. O. W. Aderholdt, Jr., Capt. Edgar Glotzbach, and Capt. Russell Smith. Assist- ing the staff are Sergeants Bernard Mader, W. A. Brandt, John Sawyer, Charles Ryburn and Roger Whelpley. ' Three military fraternities are within the R.O.T.C., Scabbard and Blade, Pershing Rifles, and the Arnold Society of Air Cadets. 4-xx 1183 Lf , .S?bL6!el'lf j0I lfU'l'L Seven nationally and internationally known speakers were guests of the University of Wichita Student Forum during this, the fourteenth, year of Forum activities. Gen. Leslie R. Groves was the first speaker of the series. The general explained behind-the-scenes complications concerning the atomic bomb. Dr. John lse, prominent economist and lecturer, was second on the series. He explained and reviewed government economic policies and problems. The third speaker to appear before the Forum audience was Dr. C. J. Hambro, Norwegian Parliament member and delegate to the United Nations. His speech concerned problems of the U.N. Dr. Bharatan Kumarappa, Indian delegate to the U.N., was next. He explained that the simple and unassuming village was lndia's answer to Communism. Homer P. Rainey, president of Stephens College, addressed Forum goers on education. He was fifth speaker of the year. Edward L. Bernays, often referred to as America's Number One 'Public Relations Counsel, was sixth. Last but far from least was Ogden Nash, nationally-known humorist, who kept the Forum audience in stitches for 90 hilari- ous minutes. .gfuclenf Counci Student Council representatives had a busy time this year with two maior issues taxing their brains. By May, 1949, school pep spirit had reached a new low. However, by September, 1949, the student politicians had worked out a pep program to create school spirit. Black and gold beanies for all upperclassmen, and green dinks for the freshmen were part of the new program. .lim O'Dell, first pep coordinator, worked hard with the cheer- leaders to give the students something new. Second big issue was the rising traffic violalions committed by University students. The Student Government made an all out effort to lower the violations. The Sunflower joined with the Council to help with the problem. By sending out letters to student violators and publishing numerous articles concerning safety, the two forces succeeded in lowering violation records. The Council sponsored an inaugural ball in honor of President and Mrs. Harry F. Corbin, and as usual, Homecoming, May Day festivities, and student elections occupied much of their time. PAGE l28 For the first time in the history of the University a council was organized by the Student Council to coordinate pep activities on the campus. The sole purpose ofthe new council was to or- ganize the student body into an interested and enthusiastic cheering section. in 4 f Q W The council consists of one member from each Greek organi- zation, one independent, one unaffiliate and a coordinator, Jim O'Dell, the originator ofthe idea. Ideas promoted by the council included booster trips to Tulsa and Oklahoma A 81 M, with pep rallies in downtown Tulsa and Stillwater. The annual niteshirt parade started the ball rolling in Wichita, and Wushock, Lulubelle the mule, an acrobatic clown and bonfires helped to keep it going. Beanies were made a part of the freshman's wardrobe, and the upperclassmen wore yellow and black dinks, adding color to the pep section at sporting events. Cheerleaders were Ruth Mercer, Collette Porter, Gea Stark, Phyllis McMichael, Ben Thorp, Andy Larsen, Hugh Livingston, and Paul Hobilettf C Merchant of Yonkers The Young and Fair Q, Iwi J X If'6U'lfI,6L The audience drifts slowly from the auditorium and into the street. Discus- sions of the play iust ended are the main topics. The house lights are off, and stage lights, except for one lone bulb, are cut to darkness. There is now a lonely and empty feeling experienced by those who have strived so hard to make the play the thing. So much work in so little time--there never seemed to be enough time for rehearsals, making stage props, all the things that go into a play. The first production of the T949 season was The Young and Fair. The cast was comprised of all women students who presented the trials and tribulations of life at a girl's school. An unusual stage- setting was used. The stage was divided into three sections representing an office, a reception room, and a bedroom. The divisions were made by partitions, leaving the setting the same throughout the play. The second production, The Bartered Bride, was presented by the School of Music and the drama department in De- cember with double casting of all fea- tured roles. A cast of 22, a chorus of 32 and 40 members of the University orchestra made this one of the largest productions ever given by the University. One act plays, all student di- rected, were given in January. Four plays were scheduled for each of three performances. PAGE T30 The Ba rtered Bride High-buttoned shoes, bustle- back dresses and hats topped with butterflies, birds, lollipops, feathers and bows were featured in the Merchant of Yonkers, a comedy of the l880's. Members of the drama depart- ment are George D. Wilner, head of the speech and drama depart- ment and director of the Univer- sity Theatre. He is assisted by Miss Lorraine Canada, secretary. Miss Mary Jane Woodard is assistant director and instructor of speech and drama and James H. Stearns is designer and acting technical director of the Univer- sity Theatre. Company F, Seventh Regiment of the military fraternity of Scabbard and Blade was organized at the University of Wichita, April l7, l930, by ten cadet officers. The officers for the first semester this year were Bob Pinkerton, president, George Stables, vice president, Dick Holloway, treasurer, John L. Walker, sergeant-at-arms, and George Welch, first sergeant. The term of office is for a full year, but because Pinkerton graduated at the end of the first semester, George Stables became presi- dent, Dick Holloway moved to vice president, and Weldon Laws was elected treasurer. To pledge Scabbard and Blade a man must be an advanced military student, and must be in the upper third of his class. ln previous years Scabbard and Blade sponsored the annual Military Ball. This year they combined with Pershing Rifles and the Arnold Air Society to put on the dance at which Miss Bonnie Moore was commissioned Honorary Colonel. This year Scabbard and Blade presented an award to Company B, under the command of Capt. Don Yoder, for being the best company on the drill field for the first semester. PAGE 131 Ci Uqfznolcl Qqifz .ffzatefznity . Squadron B5 of the Arnold Air Fraternity was organized on the Univer- sity of Wichita Campus in March, 1949. Twenty-four Air Cadets comprised the charter members. Meetings of the organization are designed to be educational and to further the aims of the United States Air Force at the college level. Films, speeches, and field trips are used for this purpose. Last semester the group toured the Weather Bureau and Control Tower PAGE 132 at the Municipal Airport. This semester they toured Boeing and Beech- craft, and inspected the component parts of the 127th Fighter Squadron Unit. The fraternity also co-sponsored the Military Ball with Pershing Rifles and Scabbard and Blade. Officers of the local unit are Bob Pennington, commanding officer, Alan Baker, executive officer, David Marteney, operations officer, Carl Lehr, secretary-treasurer, and Jack Garren, adiutqnt recorder.

Near the end of each school year when Pornassus time comes around many students wonder iust what the word Pornassus means. This title was given to the University of Wichita yearbook by the staff of 1902. lt was borrowed from Greek mythology's Mount Parnassus, a legendary mountain supposedly located in the center of ancient Greece. According to the myth Mount Parnassus was one of the three habitats of the nine muses, or patron goddesses of the fine arts. lt was known as the seat of all culture and learning and recognized as the cradle of the great Hellenic races of Greece. ln the myth, a great flood swept away the entire human race with the exception of one couple, Deuchalion and his wife Pyrrha. As the flood receded, the two landed on Mount Parnassus, and when they descended they picked up stones and cast them about as they had been commanded by Zeus, the father of the gods. From these stones a new race was born. The men were the stones thrown by Deuchalion and the women were those thrown by Pyrrha. After studying these legends, the editors of the first yearbook drew an analogy from them to Fairmount College. They visualized the school as the seat of culture and learning at the top of a hill in the center of the great plains. They also visualized Fairmount College as the cradle of a great race of trained grad- uates entering the world as leaders and as patrons of the fine arts. Many of these graduates are now famous throughout the world, and undoubtedly their achievements will be supple- mented by members of the i950 graduating class.

Hundreds of students file in and out checking books, doing research, studying or iust relaxing with a good book or magazine. The University Library, like other University services, is keeping pace with many of the modern educational innovations being introduced each year. During the 1949-50 school year, many visual aid materials were added to the up-to-date educational program in the Library. These include a new proiector, screen, slide proiector, micro-film reader, and a micro-card reader. The proiector and screen are available for use in the different University departments. At present the Library has 87,000 bound volumes. Periodicals and government publications comprise 24,000 of these. Four or five thousand bound vol- umes are being added each year, and the Library has a 515,000 annual budget for books, periodicals, and binding purposes. Other improvements this year include the installation of fluorescent lights in the reference and catalog rooms and the addition of new shelving in the book stacks. Downing P.

The ultra modern fountain room, located in the Commons Building, replaced the old fountain room last year at a cost of S62,000. Before the Alibi was opened the Student Council sponsored a contest to choose a name and gave a prize of SiO to the winner. The name seems to be appropriate, for students fill the room to capacity nearly every hour it is open. Blue and peach tinted curving walls, metal plant boxes, and indirect lighting system, and a removable band platform are features of the room. The chrome couple fountain is equipped with a dumb waiter, which brings food from the kitchen above More than 60 gallons of coffee are consumed during one day in the Alibi and ten people are em ployed to accommodate the crowds Mrs. Hattie Gessner supervises the activities in the Alibi Room and the cafeteria located on the sec ond floor of the Commons Building where the old fountain room has been converted into a faculty dining room.

The staff members are June Herrin, Doris Smith, Donald Bull, Frank Conroy, Edwin Elliot, Rex Phipps, Jim Bain, Wayne Sullivan, and Sharron Buell. The recently expanded store is situated in the middle of the campus, overshadowed by the large administra- tion and science buildings. While not the site of hum- ming crowds of students during the winter months, as other more popular places on the campus, the book store has an unceasing flow of people the year around. eronauficzi The University aeronautical engineering department, located on the east campus, is contained in five build- ings, two of which contain the nationally known wind tunnels. The larger tunnel, which has dimensions of seven by ten feet, recently received wide publicity because of tests made for the Nash Motor Company on wind resis- tance and air drag. The control building of the tunnel contains a model work room, control and instrument room, data and calculating room, and a reception room. A smaller wind tunnel is used for student instruction. Other buildings contain laboratories, offices, and vari- ous testing equipment. Students may obtain a bachelor of science degree from the school of engineering, and senior students may specialize in aerodynamics, electronics, power plants, or stress analysis. A master of science degree is also offered by the school. Flight test engineering is offered in which students do some flying. Beta chapter of Tau Omega, national aeronautics engineering honorary fraternity was recently re-acti- vated by the engineering department. The department, which was re-instituted in l945, has done wind-tunnel work for various aircraft factories, and has conducted tests on street signs' and roof shingles to determine their resistance to wind. , ...V PAGE 146 QOIUO rome Like Christmas, Spring, the Military Ball and the last day of school, May Day comes only once a year. And like these things it has many different meanings to many different people. On the University of Wichita campus, however, it primarily means one thing - Hippodrome time is here again. Hippodrome is a traditional display of talent which has changed very little over the years. ln 1942, for instance, one skit featured a live burro which roamed unattended through the audience. ln the l95O edition of Hippodrome everything from talking animals and vaudeville satires to choral and instrumental novelties with magnificently decorated backgrounds was presented on the stage of the University Auditorium. For weeks before May 5, sororities and fraternities planned, made decorations, worried and rehearsed, hoping to produce a prize-winning skit. The results pleased hundreds of students at the May Day performance May 5, and entertained another large crowd at the Institute of Logopedics benefit performance the night of May 6. For the fourth consecutive year Phi Upsilon Sigma presented the men's division prize-winning skit. Runners-up were Men of Webster, second, and Alpha Gamma Gamma, third. Pi Kappa Psi placed first in the women's division, with Alpha Tau Sigma second, and Sorosis third. f For the third year Jack Campbell was Master of Ceremonies. His supporting, in-between-skit cast was comprised of Bobbie Campbell, Joan Kallail, Mike Miller, Bob Olson, Bob Sandifer and Rankin Griesinger. , W X N df X 'aff' 4 jf ' KX I x r X 4 Q ml' wxv N x X' x ' mtg' I J J'lL Adam L, Q Q, ..

For two weeks preceding the game Jim O'Dell's pep council promoted the l'm Going South, Are You? slogan which inspired one of the largest Shocker pep turnouts for an out-of-town game in the history of the school. Sorority and fraternity pledges carried suitcases bearing the slogan, and a few even tried hitch-hiking to their destina- tion. The accompanying picture shows eight rooters trying to thumb a ride on the campus. Another great display of pep and spirit was given at the pre-Drake game bon- fire. The dry wood and crates burned well with a strong wind to help-so well, in fact, that the fire department was called to extinguish the blaze. After the Shockers won over the Tulsa Hurricane football squad for the first time in history, the cry of WALKOUT was raised. Classes were dismissed for a special pep convocation attended by hun- dreds of students echoing the cry. The third picture shows quarterback Anton Hap Houlik, with the moral sup- port of other grid-men, giving his impres- sion of the game. The convocation cul- minated in a walkout. The bottom picture is a pictorial ex- cerpt from the annual Vv'.S.S.F. sponsored Lids Off production. lt pictures comics Jack Campbell and Rankin Griesinger in a typical pose. Campbell and Griesinger also clowned their way through the be- tween-skit acts of the Hippodrome with the help of Bobbie Campbell, Joan Kallail, Mike Miller, Bob Olson and Bob Sandifer. A street light shining through the mist of an Indian Summer evening and a solitary student heading home across the campus forms a tranquil picture to be remembered long after school days are in the past. This memorable picture was taken by photographers Bob Hal- ferty and Rankin Griesinger. And while cheery greetings of Merry Christmas and - Happy New Year were daily reminders of the coming Christmas vacation, industrious art students were decorating a Yuletide tree. The finished product is the amaz- ing ultra-modern surrealistic piece in the photo at bottom-left. Believe it or not it's a Christmas tree. With signs of the coming Spring on the campus, comes the urge to travel. Kay Branson and Carl Goeller in the middle picture below, look prepared for a long iourney. They actually ended up at a masquerade party. The last picture needs no explana- tion. lt might be titled She Got Her Man, and that's exactly what hap- pened. Some women take the annual Y.W.C.A. Haul Your Man Dance plenty seriously, and by the look on the victim's face, some men do too. Y X! ft f 'PV' QA 'f' 'I' jlze e n ' 'me cz gang L 5 Even on the University of Wichita campus the styles of fifty years ago are still seen at times. Two of the pictures on this page represent a hodge-podge of styles, of today and yester- year. Joanne Sherman took advantage of Homecom- ing Day to display her hodge-podge. The rac- coon skin coat may not be the latest thing, but she was up to the minute with a W. U. beanie. The day wasn't even very chilly. Wilson Bug Cadman only sports his moth- bag on the coldest of days. His ensemble con- sists of dress shoes, blue-ieans, raccoon coat, and a church-warden pipe topped off by the black and gold of his beanie. lt's probably partly typical of Joe College, fifty years ago. ln November, Bill Smith and Ronnie Gott ful- filled an old ambition. After paying for the priv- ilege at the AWS auction, they ioyfully dunked Harold Kemper in the fish pond while many envious campus politicians stood by. Beat Tulsa was a campus byword for two weeks before the Shocker-Hurricane football classic. The Monday after the Shockers 21-20 win over the Tulsa gridders the cry changed to walk-out. Hundreds of students echoed the cry and finally cut classes to have a party at Corky's Corral. OUQCQJ The highlights of most every student's school year include at least one dance, and there were approximately 35 dances on the campus this year. These included everything from the small, private dances of social organizations, to all-school var- sities and large-scale affairs such as the Parnassus dance and Military Ball. On this page are scenes from the Y.W.C.A.'s HYM dance, the Parnassus dance, an all-school varsity and the Military Ball.

It was printed in the old Grit plant lo- cated where Henry's new store now stands, when the University was Fair- mount College. Since that time, the University has paced the city's expansion, growing into a modern educational institution. Paral- leling that advance is the growth of the Grit whose modern plant and up-to-date equipment have kept it one of the city's leading printing establishments. lt has been our pleasure again this year to work with the University in print- ing the 1950 Parnassus, the largest an- nual the school has ever published. illil'l' Printing Un. 7145 Soufh Emporia Phone 2-BHIH Lwfchita II, Kansas 3 if!!
