HIT WAS IN 1902 THAT THE JUNIOR CLASS OF FAIRMOUNT COLLEGE FELT THE NEED OF A PUBLICATION THAT WOULD PERMA- NENTLY RECAPTURE THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF COLLEGE DAYS. AND NOW, A HALF CEN- TURY LATER, THAT REMAINS THE PURPOSE OF PARNASSUS .... HBUT WHY WAS THE BOOK ENTITLED '6PARNASSUS ? THIS INSTITUTION OF LEARNING RESTED UPON A HILL, AND SO IT WAS LIKENED TO THE LEGENDARY PAR- NASSUS MOUNTAIN RANGE OF GREECE, WHICH WAS THE ABODE OF APOLLO AND THE NINE MUSES. AND SINCE THAT GREEK GOD AND THE GODDESSES PERSONIFIED THE HIGHEST IN INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC ASPIRATIONS WHILE RETAINING A VIBRANT LOVE OF LIFE, WHAT BETTER COMPARISON COULD BE DRAWN FOR A UNIVERSITY? HTHROUGHOUT YOUR 1952 PARNASSUS, YOU WILL FIND THE ORIG- INAL GREEK THEME APPARENT. ON THE COVER, THE FAMILIAR FIGURE OF WINGED VIC- TORY SYMBOLIZES OUR GRECIAN HERITAGE OF LEARNING HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WICHITA. THE INSIDE COVER SHEETS SUGGEST A DEVELOPMENT OF THAT HERITAGE, CHAR- ACTERIZED BY THE FAMOUS PARTHENON RUINS, INTO OUR PRES- ENT MODERN INSTITUTION BEFORE THE EVER-PRESENT BACK- GROUND OF MOUNT PARNASSUS .... UTHE STAFF EXTENDS A CORDIAL INVITATION TO YOU TO RE-LIVE YOUR COLLEGE LIFE OFTEN THROUGH THE PAGES OF THE 1952 PARNASSUS.

Corbin has begun to realize his visions of a greatly expanded municipal school. Completion of the Business Adminis- tration Building and commencement of the Men's and Women's Dormitories are only the first steps in a far-reach- ing expansion plan. Not only has President Corbin suc- cessfully carried the burden of admin- istrative duties here at the school, but he also has actively participated in civic programs. Yet, the President always has time for the problems of the most important portion of a Uni- versity, the students. There are four other persons familiar to campus students. They are Mrs. Corbin and the Corbins' sons, Kim, Alex and jeff, shown at right. The First Lady at social functions, Mrs. Corbin is always present with a friendly smile. sub tba goavb o ejenfs The responsibility of directing the policies and the future of a growing University of Wichita rests in the capable hands of members of the Board of Regents.

At right, the Homecoming Queen is presented with a huge bouquet of mums from Alumni president Dr. Cramer Reed. A steady downpour of rain didn't dampen spirits last October 27, when students, faculty, and alumni gathered to celebrate the University's annual Homecoming. Maurine Ramsey, Pi Kappa Psi, provided the royal beauty. She was selected in a campus-wide student election to reign over all of the traditional events. Her attendants were, Bea Bowman, Alpha Tau Sigrnag Barbara Conroy, Delta Omegag Rosa Mae Chism, Epsilon Kappa Rhog Ruth Mercer, Sorosisg and Mary Major, Independent Students Association. Activities got underway on Friday evening with the traditional bonfire and pep rally south of Vet- erans Field. A cold rain was falling, but that seemed to brighten spirits and even the huge bon- fire. Hank Hemingway was handed the title of Ugly Man, from the Red Feather drive, and joe Catudal received the award for possessing the most artistic beard. It was still raining when the big day dawned, but house decorations slowly took shape and were judged at noon. The game with the University of Tulsa was held at night and was the first Home- coming game to be played on the campus in the evening. Sorority and fraternity members held wel- coming activities for their alums before the game, and there was a coffee, at which President and Mrs. Corbin were hosts, for all the alumni. The only dim spot on the 1951 Homecoming was the game itself. The Shockers suffered defeat at the hands of the Hurricanes. During halftime cere- Football coach Bob Carlson inspects growth on the face of joe Catudal, winner of Bearded Man contest. monies Miss Ramsey and her attendants were pre- sented by Don Pray, alumni president. They had honor seats below the student cheering section, on the 50 yard line and their traditional bouquets of yellow mums added a bright note to an otherwise dreary day. The queen was not officially crowned until Sat- urday evening, when john Friedersdorf, Student Council president, led coronation ceremonies at the Homecoming Ball. It was then that it was the queen's duty to announce the winners of the house decorations. Nearly everyone shouted when it was learned that Pi Kap and Phi Sig took first place honorsg Alpha Tau and Alpha Gamma secondg and Delta Omega and Pi Alph third. And so, another Homecoming was complete. Even through a drizzling rain, the traditional bonfire burned long and bright southwest of Veterans Field on the eve of Homecoming Day. PAGE 30 AXYYGASSMS AHCC joan Shaw joined the ranks of campus royalty when she was named 1952 Parnassus Queen at the annual Parnassus Dance sponsored by the yearbook staff, on January 28. Nationally known orchestra leader, Henry Busse, placed the crown of flowers on Miss Shaw's head as the 900 stu- dents gathered at the Moose Lodge, formerly the New Moon, watched. Miss Shaw, representing Alpha Tau Sigma sorority, was serenaded by The Orphans quartet. Her five lovely attendants were Sally Lambert, Delta Omegag Elaine Neer, Epsilon Kappa Rhog Marilyn Cham- berlain, Pi Kappa Psig Beverly Hale, Independent Students Associationg and Shirley Brazill, Sorosis. Harold Enns, Parnassus business manager, served as toastmaster of the dinner held at Innes tearoom preceding the dance. At the dinner the candidates were presented to the judges who were Mr. Busse, Mrs. Leone Lightner, of The Wichita Eagle society department, and Mrs. Elizabeth Clark, society editor of the Wichita Beacon. Personality, poise, and beauty were the basis on which candidates were judged. Enns, serving as master of ceremonies at the dance, intro- duced Joan Kallail, editor, who read the names of the queen candidates as they walked slowly across the dance floor. As the last candidate prepared to cross the floor, she an- nounced, And now your l952 Parnassus Queen, Miss joan Shaw. Flashbulbs popped as Miss Shaw made her way to the throne on the bandstand, and began her reign as queen of the 50th edition of the University yearbook, Parnassus. Attendants were presented with wrist corsages and the pictures used in judging the contest. The queen received a locket and a huge bouquet of flowers.

The other organizations, Arnold Air Society and Pershing Rifles, each played an important part in making the Military Ball a success. Arnold Air had charge of the tickets and publicity, and Pershing Rifles handled the seating and service at the Ball. Miss Payne received the white cape representing her office and some official duties as well. These include the awarding of honors to the winners of the annual R.O.T.C. Field Day, among other things.

Carlene Sturges, of Alpha Tau Sigma, was elected by the student body two weeks before to reign as Queen of the May Day festivities. Activities began at 9 in the morning with the traditional Hippodrome skits. The skits, which took until mid-afternoon, were interspersed with election of cheerleaders, men's Maypole winding, and speeches by Student Council presidential can- didates, plus between-acts presentations. The evening was begun with another winding of the Maypole by campus coeds and was followed by the queen's elaborate coronation ceremonies in the Auditorium. It was at that time that the winners of the Hippodrome skit divisions were announced. Afterward, everyone adjourned to the gymnasiums for the May Day Ball. Names of the 1952-1953 Honor Women were re- vealed to be: Pat Bennett Basom, Epsilon Kappa Rhog Evelyn Brown, Pi Kappa Psig Anita Dins- more, Alpha Tau Sigma: JoAnne Friend, Sorosisg Gynith Giffin, Pi Kappa Psig Elaine Lupton, Un- affiliatedg and Mary Helen Roembach, Alpha Tau Sigma. Though May Day means fun, pleasure, and a brief respite from the daily school grind for nearly everyone, for some it meant work. Those some were Student Council members including Russell Watson, Anita Dinsmore, and Charlyn Dixon, who planned and arranged the various holiday activities. And so with the ending of another May Day, University of Wichita students completed their own special initiation of spring.

PAGE 62 ooflvali In a season in which most college football teams tried to avoid scandals, the University of Wichita Wheatshockers, in 1951, tried in vain to avoid defeat. Out of a nine-game schedule the Shockers gained two victories-both of them over Missouri Valley Conference opponents. Bradley University's Braves, a perennial loser to Wichita, were the Shockers' first victim, losing 15- 6 in the third game of the season. Then using 1951's new offense-the spread formation-Wichita upset the Houston Cougars 19-14 on a muddy field. The triumph over Houston inspired the annual walkout. Wichita opened the season under a new head coach, Bob Carlson, who had guided the freshmen since 1949. He replaced jim Trimble who resigned in April, 1951. George Bernhardt, a graduate of Illi- nois University, handled the line coaching duties in his first year on the coaching staff. Night football also returned to the campus with the first three home games being played under the lights. Miami University of Ohio retained its jinx over the Shockers by winning the opening game in Vet- erans Field 21 to 13. A heavy rainstorm greeted the Shockers in their next game at Logan, Utah, and they came out on a short end of a 21-7 count. After winning the Bradley game, Wichita went scoreless in its next two outings. Oklahoma A8cM swamped the Shockers 43-0 at Stillwater. Then in the annual Homecoming game, Tulsa University's supercharged Golden Hurricanes rolled to a 33-0 victory. Shocker fans' hopes were bolstered somewhat the next weekend when a good Houston team fell 19- 14 in a game played in a virtual sea of mud. Three more games then remained on the Wichita schedule and all went for naught as far as Shocker victories were concerned. The Drake contest was next on tap and the Bull- dogs and the Shockers waged their usual close bat- tle with the visitors winning 14-7. On the following Saturday Wichita took one of its longest trips to suffer one of its worst defeats. Boston University led by All-American Harry Ag- ganis shellacked the Shockers 39-13. ounbu Thanksgiving Day is a holiday but it was far from that for the football team. The Shockers had what appeared to be another Missouri Valley tri- umph Wrapped up when they led Detroit 7-3 with slightly more than four minutes left to play. The Titans were tired when they intercepted a pass on Wichita's 20-yard line but they picked up enough steam to score a touchdown and win 9-7. Eight seniors played their last game for Wichita in the Detroit game. They were Mike Knopick and Norb Moranz, ends, john Costantino and J. D. Ed- miston, defensive linebackersg Eddie Zegler, guard: Gerry Bowen, quarterbackg and Clarence Jernigan and jim Jernigan, left halfbacks. Among individual Shockers, junior fullback Eli Romero was easily the offensive standout with Zegler and Edmiston outstanding on the defensive platoon. Romero scored 42 of Wichita's 74 points for the season on six touchdowns. He counted all three TDs against Houston. Four other players picked up a touchdown apiece. Besides his scoring perform- ance, Romero set new team punting records. He punted 53 times for 1,984 yards and a 37.4 yards average. All three figures are new Shocker stand- ards. Zegler and Edmiston ran one-two in the tackle statistics. Zegler accounted for 88 and Edmiston followed with 77. Edmiston also made 12 tackles for losses. Eight players were accorded honors on numerous post-season all-star teams. End john Walor and Edmiston gained first team berths on the Associa- ted Press All-Valley first defensive team. Edmiston also was named second team center on the United Press All-Valley team. Guard Gene Paluzzi was placed on the UP All-Valley first string. Knopick also made the UP second string in addition to sec- ond team honors on the International News Service All-Midlands selections. Zegler was the lone Shocker on the two teams picked by the Missouri Valley coaches. He was chosen guard on the second eleven. All of the above players received honorable men- tion on different teams in addition to quarterback Dick Sanders, fullback Allen Taylor, and Romero.

Wichita's only touchdown came in the second quarter when end john Walor blocked a Utah punt and tackle jim Jernigan grabbed it out of the air and went 12 yards to score. Fumbles set up two Utah scores while the third resulted on a pass interference against the Shockers. Veterans Field, Oct. 6-Bradley University's Braves, always a victim of the Shockers, provided Wichita's first win when they bowed 15-6. The Shockers scored a safety in the first period and then added two touchdowns in the third quar- ter. Fullback Eli Romero drove over from the two- yard line for one and quarterback Gerald Bowen heaved a 31-yard pass to end Mike Knopick for the second. Virgil Near kicked the extra point.

First, a brand new coaching staff guided the basketball destinies of the Shockers. Ralph Miller was named head coach in April, 1951, after he had won the Kansas Class AA championship at Wichita High School East. Then later in the summer his younger brother, Dick, was hired as his assistant. Dick came to Wichita from Pittsburg High. Second, just about everybody on the team was new to Shocker cage fans. john Friedersdorf, Hank Hemingway, and Dick Sanders were the only returning lettermen. Paul Scheer, Curt Hightower, Sid Gates, Gary Thompson, and Alex Chuk were up from the 1951 freshman squad. The rest were freshmen or junior college transfers like Cleo Littleton, Merv Carman, jim McNerney, Verlyn Anderson, Tippy Tucker, Herb Trout, Charley Gill, and Ken Schlup. Once the season started, everything done before by a University basketball team was excelled. For one thing, the squad played a 30-game schedule, a new high. During the Christmas vacation the Shockers embarked on a six-game tour of the West for the longest road trip in history. As a team, the Shockers scored 758 field goals, 330 free throws, for 1,846 points, all new records. In their second game of the season, they scored 93 points, a new standard, and then broke it the next night with 100 tallies. Individual records were broken in wholesale lots by the 1952 Shockers. Littleton, a lithe 18-year-old freshman, broke the old mark for points in a single ouubu game by hitting 37 against Creighton University of Omaha late in the season. The old high was 28. In the same game, he dunked in 17 field goals to erase Scheer's high of 13 which had stood only a few weeks. Scheer had previously broken the old record of 11. Over the season, the amazing Littleton had 214 field goals, 127 free throws, 555 total points for an 18.5 average, which was not only an all-time Shocker high but also tops in the tough Missouri Valley Conference. Littleton came in for additional honors at the end of the season when he was named to the All-Missouri Valley first team by both the Associated Press and Conference coaches. He was the first freshman to receive the honor. In addition, he was placed on practically every Shocker foe's all-opponent team. Friedersdorf, Franklin, Ind., senior, hung up a new record for points scored over an entire career. Picking up 333 points in 1951-52, he wound up with a grand total of 925 for three years of action. Rex McMurray had established the old standard in 1951 with 612 points in four years. Friedersdorf, too, rated post-season honors on all-star teams and all- opponent teams. For the season, Miller's youthful cagers came up with 11 wins out of a long 30-game schedule. Only two wins were chalked up in the Missouri Valley when the Shockers topped Detroit 58-47 and Hous- ton 70-49. Although the 11 wins were by no means a suc- cessful season it was a respectable feat for a team which lacked experience and had never before played together. rabuafinss Casfers PAGE 71 CENTURY POINT COMING UP-Little Charley Gill C435 of Wichita fires the ball towards the bas- ket to score the Shockers' 100th point against Creighton with only seconds to play.

Members of last year's freshmen team that participated this year are: Ron Summers, Mike Foley, Bob Bixler, john Swanson, john Troup, Ron Stear- man, and Curt Hightower. Among freshmen bolstering the squad were Cleo Little- ton, Ray Rose, Robert Jensen, Ellis Steele, Truman Shinn, Verlyn Anderson, and Ken Hall. The schedule for the 1952 season consisted of nine meets, opening with the Oklahoma A 8: M Relays. The Shockers hosted only two meets. Other relays participated in were the Emporia Relays at Emporia, Kansas Relays at Lawrenceg and Drake Relays at Des Moines. Four dual meets were held, includ- ing Emporia, Southwestern, Pittsburg, and Oklahoma A 8: M. The Missouri Valley Conference meet was held at Oklahoma A 8: M. Coach Bidwell was assisted by George Bernhardt, foot- ball line coach. --.3 . S Above, throwing the discus is Ron Summers.

Newcomers included Art Vigare, Gary Thomp- son, Alex Chuk, jim Haught, Curt Hightower, Denny jones, Ken Lawson, Billy Pace, Loren Toevs, Johnny Frezza, Hal Gascoigne, and Dean Sutcliffe. Pitching depth, a 1951 weakness, was strengthened with the addition of several freshman hurlers. The Shockers played in the southern division of the Missouri Valley Con- ference facing Tulsa, Oklahoma A 8z M, and Houston.

Sam Sadler, a freshman last year, saw his first varsity action this spring. The rest of the varsity squad was made up of linksmen joe Korst and Dick Linn, who was side- lined by an injury suffered in the intramural wrestling tournament. The Shockers opened the season against the Alumni, made up of former Munie golfers, then pro- ceeded to take on Kansas State College of the Big Seven in two matches, met independent Omaha University once and Tulsa and Ok- lahoma A 8: M, of the Missouri Val- ley Conference, in two meets with each. They wound up the season at the Missouri Valley meet, held at Oklahoma A 8: M, in May. Qualifying rounds, totaling 54 holes, were held at MacDonald Park, the Shockers' home course, late in March. Early season practice sessions were delayed more than a few times by wet or cold weather, but workouts were held with in- creasing regularity as the weather improved.

Once again under the leadership of director Bob Kirkpatrick and his assistant, Myron Basom, the program swung into action early in October with football catching the limelight. Eight teams plodded and passed away during the three weeks of play ending on October 22 with Phi Sig B taking all of the chips with a record of seven wins and no defeats. Pat Quinn, Jerry Carl- son, jerry Jonas, jerry Maxwell, Jerry Lansdowne, Charles Nelson, Crawford Barber, Dick Linn, Bob McGrath, Bob Hervey, Bob Young, and Ron Hat- field made up the roster of the winners. The rest of the standings were: Phi Sig A, Alpha Gam HA, Webster B, RR's, Alpha Gam B, and Pi Alph. PAGE 78 It was a four-team field in the next phase of the program, speedball, with the Websters retaining the championship. Volleyball began on November 27 with two leagues composed of eight teams each. For the sec- ond straight year, Phi Sig B knocked off Webster B for top honors. Once more basketball attracted the largest num- ber of participants with play beginning in early January. And again Webster B was supreme as it bumped Tri-P A in the finals. Six champions were crowned in intramural wres- tling with the Websters grabbing four matches. The champions were 128 lb.-Pat Corbett Clnde- pendentj, 145 lb.-jim Rutherford CWebsterj, 155 lb.-Dwayne Clum CWebsterj, 165 lb.-jim McKin- ney CWebsterj, 175 lb.-Ray Coleman fWebsterj, and heavyweight-Darrel Hill flndependentl.

When Men of Webster adopted the Greek letters, Phi Lambda Psi in 1916, the fraternity retained the name of the debating society from which it origin- ally took its membership. Founded in 1895 by Nathanial Morrison, the first president of Fairmount College, Men of Webster is the oldest social organization on the campus and its growth has been synonymous with the growth of the University. Nine hundred eighty-four men have been initiated into its portals during the years. Webster ranks high in campus tradition. The spring formal, The Heidelberg, based on a German beer garden theme, created not only campus but local interest as well. More than 300 Webster alum- ni and actives participated in the annual Founders' Day stag and dinner on November 7. It is Webster's heritage to honor the Homecom- ing Queen. This year, Maurine Ramsey was pre- sented a gift by the organization and a special alumni coffee was held in her honor. The Webster- PAGE 90 Gamma football game, an annual Turkey Day clash, was another highlight in campus activities. Located on the campus, southwest of the presi- dent's home, is Webster Grove. Seven trees grow there, symbolic of the seven letters in Webster. It is traditional for men in the fraternity to take their girls to the Grove to be pinned. Each of the classes this year had a member from this organization as an officer.

Independent Students Association, known famil- iarly as I.S.A., this year celebrated its 13th year on the campus as well as its 13th year as a member of the National Association. Organized as an association of unaffiliated stu- dents, the group received the nickname of Bar- barians or Baths from the Greek-letter organiza- tions. In 1939 the Barbs obtained their charter from N.I.S.A. and became the first national social organization on the campus. The building which now is the University Book- store served as an early home for the group. The Brig, as it was known, was replaced by a house at the corner of Fairmount and 18th Street which was sold in 1950. I.S.A. is currently housed in a club- room located in the Service Building. Members spent last summer and early fall deco- rating the clubroom-painting walls and furniture. New chairs and a divan were added as well as new slipcovers for old furniture. The piano came in for its share of paint when it took on a turquoise hue and became, according to members, the only tur- quoise piano in captivity.

Pershing. The charter for the local company was granted in 1949. One of the main activities for the year was Pershing Rifles' performance in the Halloween and Christmas parades, spon- sored by the Wichita Chamber of Com- merce. The company helped construct the bus shelter at Seventeenth Street and Hillside and posts the United Nations World news map in the shelter each week.

Twenty-four air cadets comprised the charter members. Starting off activities for the semester was the Atomic Fair, which was a fund-raising carnival held in the Armory. The society also inaugurated hour dances on Friday nights, inviting the campus sororities and Women's Independent Stu- dents Association. The local chapter organized a Crack Drill Team and a Drum and Bugle Corps, which have performed several times in Wichita and surrounding communities. During the spring semester the society was awarded the Good Neighbor Award by George Gow, local news announcer, for its participation in the March of Dimes Drive.

The national organization was founded in 1904 at the University of Wisconsin and since that time the society has expanded to 89 companies located in various colleges and universities throughout the United States. Activities for the year included: A Halloween party for the children from the Wichita Children's Home which was held in the Armory. Scabbard and Blade combined efforts with Pershing Rifles and Arnold Air Society to construct a bus shelter at Seventeenth and Hillside.

Omeja Alpha Phi Omega has at times been mistakenly called the lost and found department and the University's Boy Scouts. In reality it is a na- tional service fraternity, composed of university men who have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts previously. The main service which they render students each year is through the lost and found depart- ment maintained in the Commons. Lost articles are collected from the many boxes placed on the campus for students' convenience. An important community service was pro- vided by the group when it sponsored the Com- munity Chest Fund Drive at the University. Each of the five men's social organizations entered a candidate for the honor of being Ugly Man and votes were cast in the form of cash donations to the Community Chest. The winner's silver key was presented to Hank Hemingway at a special convocation first semes- ter. The Ugly Man mug went to Hemingway's fraternity, Alpha Gamma Gamma, to keep until next year, The installation banquet for first semester pledges was held at the Polar Bear restaurant, but second semester pledges traveled to Univer- sity of Tulsa for their ceremony. Each year in the Spring, the local chapter of Officers Bob Hutchens, E. L. Swaney, Dick Haynes, Russ Watson and jerry Busch view movies at one of the meetings. Alpha Phi Omega has an Explorer Scout Ball for senior Scouts from eleven Kansas counties. The ball introduces high school seniors to the University and to the fraternity. Fraternity members also serve as guides to visiting groups and new students on the campus, aid in registration, and usher at school functions. In addition, over-night outings were held for members. Marvin Barnes served as president of the fra- ternity first semester and Bill Wyckoff guided the organization during the second term. Head sponsor Dr. Robert V. Christian, Jr., advised the group.

Q- ,Wav The school year 1951-1952 was marked by completion of the modernization trend on The Sunflower. The addition of Wider columns on the editorial page, more feminine headlines for society stories, and several permanent columns were initiated. Roundabout the Campus, traditional society column, dis- appeared, to be replaced by That Way. A faculty informa- tion column, and Gym Gems, representing the Women's Recreational Association, made their appearance, along with Cliff's Columnfs' and The Barber Shop, general information type columnsg and Sports Clock. For the first time, a successful classified advertising section was used. News-wise, subjects of stories, editorials, and con- jecture included campaigns, contests, elections and general news. Staff members for The Sunflower first semester were Clif- ford Kraus, editor-in-chiefg Mary Frances Sullivan, managing editor, Bob Barber, desk editorg Nancy Rittenoure, society editor, Al Alvarez, sports editorg Charles Sherman, photo editorg and Colleen Schreffler, circulation and promotion man- ager. Selling the advertising were Bob Malone, business manager, and Tom McGraw, assistant business manager. Kraus again headed the publication second semester. He was assisted by: Bob Barber, managing editorg Jean Walker, desk editorg Virginia Stafford, society editor, and D. R. Stewart, circulation and promotion manager. Alvarez, Sher- man, Malone, and McGraw held the same positions as first semester. Asst. Prof. Paul F. Gerhard was faculty adviser for the publication.

These were the ingredients necessary to publish the 1952 yearbook. There were many sleep- less nights, many disturbing days and unopened textbooks. Nearly 2,000 pictures were taken and compiled and thousands of words of copy were written. But weeks of conferences and planning took place before a picture could be shot or a word typed. It was through the persistence and energy of Paul Ger- hard, faculty adviser, Clifford Kraus, sports editor, reporters Mary Fran Sullivan, Dale Stewart, Vir- ginia Stafford, jean Walker, jack Brooks, Bob Bar- ber, Dorothy Ludiker and many others, as well as the staff, that the annual now is in your hands. Campus scenes were photographed by Rorabaugh 8: Millsap Studios and portraits were the products of Math Borniger. Aid and patience were the by- words of Gifford Booth and Bob Hobson at the Grit Printing Company, while many helpful suggestions were received from The Wichita Eagle and Mid- Continent Engraving Companies. The day Parnassus is distributed is an important one to students and staff alike, for then all the days of pounding pavements for advertising, watching costs, and screaming about deadlines prove not to have been in vain. t-ubenf oavb o ulolicafiohs STUDENT-FACULTY COMMITTEE GOVERNING OFFICIAL CAMPUS PUBLICATIONS Left to right- joan Kallail Senior Dorothy Harmon Secretary Lester Rosen of Administration Neil Duncan Comptroller Miss joan O'Bryant Chairman Paul Gerhard Faculty Ann Earp junior Sara Goeller Freshman Not pictured: Nancy Rittenoure Sophomore PAGE 122 fubeni' ounci Numerous problems of varying description and nature faced the Student Council again this year. They ranged from the walkout fol- lowing the football win over Houston to the everyday requests that came up at meetings for the Council's approval or permission to carry out various activities on the campus. The 1951-52 Council was headed by presi- dent john Friedersdorf, aided by Bill Klobu- char, vice-president, Gerry Hunter, secretaryg and Flossie Bates, treasurer. Della Bates and Maurine Ramsey acted as senior class rep- resentatives, and Charlyn Dixon and Don McKinley were junior and sophomore class representatives, respectively. Doran Oneale, Pat Kelly, Russell Watson, Mary Wall Coch- ran, and Bob Ramsey served as proportional representatives. Major events handled by the Council were the Homecoming celebration and dance, the annual May Day festivities and dance, and the supervising of the Hippodrome skits. During the year, they also sponsored the Red Feather- Ugly Man contest in cooperation with Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, aided the Red Cross in finding blood donors at the University for the campus blood drive, and published the student directories. Pep activities on the campus also came in for a share of the Council's attention. They made arrangements for pep rallies and booster trips, and attempted to consolidate actions of the cheerleaders and the student cheering sec- tion at football and basketball games. More of the Council's time and effort went into the various elections held through the months of school. Council members handled the procedures of registering student voters and counting the ballots. Elections were held for selecting class officers and proportional representatives in the fall, along with the Homecoming and then May Queen in the spring. The year's work, at the polling places and everywhere else, was finished up when the Council officers for next year were picked. Top photo, Student Council president, John Friedersdorf.

W. 3. One organization on the cam- p.as to which all women belong is the Associated Women Stu- dents. Established five years ago under the leadership of the Senior Vsfcmenis honor group, AWS was created for the sole purpose of lending University of YVichita Women a helping hand. The freshmen orientation program, sponsored by this group, included a chuck wagon picnic on the campus in Sep- tember. Two Weeks later the new women at the University were entertained at a fall tea where they were introduced to faculty members. The tea was held in the home of President and Mrs. Harry F. Corbin. AWS, seeking the unifica- tion of women students and thelpromotion of campus friendships, has each one of its council members in the spring choose a high school senior whoplans to attend the Uni- versity as her little sister. The campus Woman becomes acquainted with her little sis- ter during the summer and in the fall helps her to adjust to college life. One of the outstanding proj- ects of the organization is the publication of the Fem Fo- cus.

WWW Wkeafies The loudest cheers at Varsity games always come from a certain section of the rooters, the black and gold clad girls of Wheaties, women's pep group. The pep club includes members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Phyllis McMichael served as president of the organization during the past year, and newly elected Virginia Whitaker will take over the reins for next year. Activities of the Wheaties are varied. During football season they work with the marching band in halftime formations. Even in coldest weather they remove their wraps to show the school colors, which they wear. Highlight of the the basketball season is the nam- ing of Wheaties Sweetie and Jack Armstrong. This year's honors were given to Betty Gist and John Friedersdorf, team captain, at the Wichita- Tulsa game played in the Forum. Club members were also hostesses at their annual dance, at which members of the coaching staff were honored. The uniform of Wheaties is a black skirt, gold sweater, and white blouse.

The Council meets once every three weeks, ex- cept during rushing, when it meets once a week. Other than regulating rushing, the Council sets up all rules for sorority walkouts, and helps to solve the individual problems of any sorority. Each group is represented on the Council by the presi- dent and two elected members, who have voting power. The presidents do not. Officers in the Council are rotated each year. First semester officers were: Bea Bowman, Alpha Tau Sigma, presidentg Delores Esch, Delta Omega, vice-president, Donna Cravens, Pi Kappa Psi, sec- retary, Mary Helen Love, Epsilon Kappa Rho, treasurer, and Connie Magruder, Sorosis, reporter.

The annual Missouri Valley Forensic League meeting was held at the University of Kansas. Other schools visited included Kansas State College, McPherson Col- lege, Kansas State Teachers College and St. johns College. During the year Wichita played host to debaters from Australia in the annual interna- tional debate and University of Kansas debaters were here for the annual High School Insti- tute demonstration debate. The University radio station, KMUW, was the scene of weekly discussions on the Stu- dent Forum of the Air and other discussion groups appeared be- fore Wichita civic groups and service clubs. Individual speak- ing events included the annual Will Rogers Speech Club con- test and extempore and oratori- cal occasions on other campuses. Members of the Debate Club and Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary forensic society, met for social gatherings at the close of each semester. Awards in- cluded the election of Richard Roembach, Edwin Moreland and Doran Oneale to Delta Sigma Rho and the presentation of the Harbison Award to Richard Roembach.

The Football Band, directed by James Kerr, entertained the crowds at games, while the newly created Pep Band was on hand for bas- ketball contests. The University Concert Band also directed by Kerr presented two concerts during the year. Early in November the University played host to five hundred music directors and super- visors at the annual conference of the Kansas Music Educators Association. High school music students also visited the campus for the annual Band Day in the fall and the music festival in the spring both of which are spon- sored by the School of Music. The A Cappella Choir under Harold A. Decker presented a recital as well as Christ- mas and Easter convocation programs. In con- junction with the Wichita Choral Society the group presented The Messiah and The Cre- ation. Mozart's The Magic Flute enjoyed a highly successful performance by the Uni- versity Opera Theatre in November with standing room only reported two successive nights. Second semester the group offered an evening of scenes from famous operas. The University Symphony Orchestra enter- tained educators when it presented a concert for the American Association of School Ad- ministrators at their convention in St. Louis.

This year's activities included: Field Day, which was held April 45 the Federal Inspection, which was April 17 and 183 and the Red Cross Blood Drive, jointly conducted by the air and infantry R.O.T.C. Thirty-two men received commissions this year as second lieutenants in the United States Army. During the last year, the Infantry R.O.T.C. placed emphasis on an extensive training program to pro- duce more technically qualified officers concerning tactical problems. Lt. Col. Robin G. Montgomery is professor of military science and tactics. His staff includes: First Lt. joseph E. Byler, assistant professor of military science and tactics, and coach of the Var- sity Rifle Teamg Emery J. Riffel, warrant officer, administrative assistant.

Keeping in step with the modernization trend of the United States Air Force, the local group donned the new blue uniform this year. Inaugurated for the first time were the three options granted to ad- vanced cadets: flight operations, aircraft mainte- nance, and administration and logistics. The flight operations cadets were taken on a navigational practice flight over a three-state area: Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as part of their teaching leading to U.S.A.F. pilot training. Maj.

PALMER Mstifute of 0Qo5o ebics In nineteen years the Institute of Logopedics has expanded from one room on the fourth floor of the Administration Building to its present site located at 2400 Jardine Drive, northwest of the University campus. This world-leading institution for training in speech correction is under the direction of Dr. Martin F. Palmer. The new location, inaugurated in 1949, consists of an Administration Building and forty cottages with four apartments in each cottage. Its construction was fi- nanced by an F.H.A. loan and was made possible through the benevolence of individuals and organizations through- out the country who had heard of Dr. Palmer's work with the speech and hearing handicapped. Logopedics Cpronounced log-o-pee-diksj, the study and correction of speech defects, offers to the student a challenge in a pioneering field of work. It has only been during the last twenty-five years that speech train- ing has received increasing attention from governmental and educational organizations and all possibilities of aiding speech defects have not been realized. Of the current population in the United States, four million persons have a speech or hearing problem. There are only approximately one thousand trained logopedists Lu d of these handicaps. The endeavoring to meet the nee s Institute offers the logopedics student an opportunity for clinical and research training in the speech field. Students ' ' l ho take contact with the children and adu ts w are in daily speech lessons at the Institute. h defects are treated at the Institute All types of speec including stuttering, aphasia, cerebral palsy, cleft palate, dysponia, and articulation. Here for the first time are assembled complete facilities f habilitation through language. for a balanced program o re The administration and clinical building contains individual speech correction training rooms, physical and occupational therapy departments, a library, and a cafeteria. For the children who cannot attend public schools be- cause of their handicaps, six special classrooms are main- tained on the grammar school level. The one hundred and sixty apartments provide living quarters for the children. They live with their parents or in a family-like situation under the care of a trained housemother. Opportunity is offered to students to obtain the Master's Degree here in the speech correction work while earning a living in their chosen field of endeavor. The department of logopedics at the University is affil- iated with the Institute. More than eighty students are in professional training at the speech center and approxi- mately three hundred children and adults from all of the 48 states and from nine foreign countries are taking lessons to correct their speech defects.

Included in the alumni membership are some 5,600 graduates and former students of the University and its predecessor, Fairmount Col- lege. Alumni live in all of the forty-eight states and in 20 foreign countries. 260 are in military service. They are kept informed of University progress and receive news of their classmates through the University of Wichita Alumni News, bi-monthly newspaper mailed out by the Alumni office. The Alumni office also houses the Bureau of Recommendations for teacher placement. Biggest job of the Alumni Office is the an- nual Alumni Fund campaign. The Fund, or- ganized to provide money for scholarships and job placement, was responsible for scholarships for twenty University students in the 1951- 1952 school year and a contribution of S500 toward the operation of the Alumni-Student job Placement Bureau. The current campaign has resulted in a 32,500 grant for scholarships for the coming school year and an additional sum of S750 for job placement. Mrs. L. C.

I-brousgk rvacfice Learning is campus life. A student's life is varied and each activity, whether it be practical work, research, eating, making friends, or just playing, it is an essential part of the never-ending process of learning. To take a good look at campus life, it is necessary to start with one of the most important phases of learning . . . that of practice in classroom labora- tories and workshops. To most stu- dents, these congenial places often become kind of second homes. Miss Aileen Skaer, bacteriology instructor, is trying to explain to Charlene Hieger why that certain design in a red substance has appeared. Gail Brooks, right, is probably wondering why hers doesn't look the same way. After gorging the photographer with sam- ples of divinity and fudge, Iona Hamilton and Barbara Barton continue their cooking duties in the modern home economics kitchen in the Ad building.

Though there's plenty of current talk about teaching practically for vocations, it seems improbable that textbooks and research books will ever be tossed in the baskets. If that should happen there'd be a lot of tossing to do in that northern-most building on the campus, the Library. Although the main functions of the campus Library are to pro- vide material for research and a place for students to study, it has other uses as well. It's a good place to find solitude-in one of the group study rooms-it's fine for meeting friends, pretty good for killing a couple of spare hours, and possibly all right for studying, if there's time.

I XGE 142 By looking carefully it may be possible to see the burdens of the world on this student's shoulders as he contemplates in the Alibi Room. Or maybe it's just the expression on his face that gives that impression. In the background, some unsuspecting person did not have a firm grasp on his coffee cup, and so the black nourishment has been snatched away. . t' voug nufvffion Lf Meals and snacks are as vital a, part of learning as any other phase. Never let it be said that it doesn't take food for thought. For if a student doesn't have strength enough to lift his arms, how is he to turn the pages cf a textbook?

Those everyday contacts and the many humorous-or otherwise-incidents are the things worth writing home about.

AMD layinj Maybe it can't be said that all work and no play will ruin a student in a day, but it certainly is true that recreation is as im- portant a part of campus life and learning as attending classes. Activity and fun are spices that add that final touch to a person's character and personality. And there's plenty of opportunity for enjoyment, relaxation and recrea- tion, in one form or another, on the University of Wichita cam- pus, as is shown by these scenes of campus life.
