Prather Name
Stays On at K.U.
Although Rollin Prather, Kan
sas State College's star and tackle
and ail-American trackman the
past three years, has been grad
uated, the Prather name still
appears on the K-State roster.
Rollin's brother Raymond, a 196
'pound sophomore guard, is mak
ing a strong bid for a starting
defensive berth. The No. 71 on
his game jersey is the same worn
by his older brother. Neither of
the Prather boys played high
school football.
Hour Dances? We Love Them,
Says New Crop of Pledges
By Donna Prescott
Evere hear of hour-dances?
Of course you have! Now that
school is on its way and the
sororities and fraternities have
lots of new pledges, the hour
dances are on the week-end
schedules. The actives or upper
classmen will tell the pledges
al kinds of things to do during
the hour's meeting. Don't be a
dead pan, don't hold the girl or
boy too closely, don't step on your
partner's feet, have a good line
to make an impression, don't do
this and don't do that.
J The purpose of the hour
dances, in case you really would
like to know, is for the new
people on the campus to meet the
opposite sex. Some take advan
tage of this and some think it
extremely unnecessary, they'll
meet who they want when they
want
An hour-dance Is usually run
In this fashion. The gents come
to the door, ring the bell, and in
troduce their house-mother. One
of the girls dashes her off to
meet their house-mother and
from then on neither is ever seen
or heard from for the remainder
of the hour.
When the guardian angels are
left to entertain themselves the
boys are met at the door by the
eager co-ed pledges and are
herded off to the corrall, in
reality the basement or 'rec'
room. Somehow or other the
tallest boy in the house dances
with the shortest girl and short
est boy with the tallest girl.
Smiling faces are seen through
out the room. One girl catches
the eye of someone she knows
and hopes he will be her next
dance. Trying to suggest to her
partner to dance in his direction,
she finally has to admit she
wants to dance with a fratern-

The referee picked up the ball
and started back down the cen
ter of the field. As he passed the
fifty-yard line, the captain of
the team in possession could not
contain hi3 feelings any longer.
"I'll be darned," he howlad,

"Atlhough definite information
about further deployment Is not
available at this time, it was in
dicated that members of the
squadron would be airlifted or
shipped by train to a costal desti
nation for re-deployment around
the end of October," Capt. Co
oper said.
It was stressed that any ma
rine reservists who desire a de
ferment an dhave not applied,
should do so immediately.
The squadron, known as the
"Whistling Devils" was formed
July 1, 1949, and ha strained at
the air base in Lincoln one week
end each month since then.
House Commands
Major Sumner J. House, in
structor of Political Science at
the University, is commanding
officer of the squadron.
The marine group call marks
the second time in four days
students of the University have
been affected by reserve group
mobilization.
Fifteen students received their
call to active duty Saturday night
when the 43rd Army band of the
Nebraska National Guard was
activated.
California U.
Loyalty Oath
Still on Fire
University of California's
"sign or resign" problem is still
hanging in California courts.
The trouble all started when
the university's board of regents
requested all faculty members to
sign a loyalty pledge connected
with a communist investigation
held last spring.
University officials had made
known that members of the fac
ulty not signing the pledge
would be requested to resign.
Eighteen non-signing faculty
members then requested a writ
of mandate challenging the re
gents' right to revoke their ap
pointments. Most of the professors refus
ing to sign the pledge have been
investigated by a committee set
up by the university to investi
gate loyalty and have received
favorable recommendation from
them.
Most recent development in
the case came last week when
a court justice declared that
"the regents shall take no ac
tion on discharging the petition
ers until the case is heard."
New developments in the loy
alty controversy are expected at
the first meeting of the academic
senate which is scheduled for
Sept. 26.
Fifty University of California
professors petitioned for the
meeting to consider the loyalty
declaration. It is believed that
three important resolutions will
be made at that time by the
senate.
The . regents gave out the
"sign or resign" ultimatum at
their last meeting Aug. 25. The
law suit resulted and the case
is still before the California
courts.
ity brother. When the music is
over she notices that the gent in
question has had the last dance
with a sorority sister who is
much taller than her partner,
but being so eager and not car
ing she introduces them to each
other. Hence, the let down and
disappointment of "sitting this
one out."
The line of conversation is
carried on as it is during rush
week .Where are you from? What
year is this for you? What is
your major? What did you do
this summer, etc? One of the
most perturbing questions is
"Are you a pledge?" as the fel
low looks at an active pin.
By the time your feet have
ben stepped on and you have a
couple of snags in your new pair
of hose, the boys wipe their
brows as it is a little warm, the
music is shut off. and it is time
to go home. Everyone files up
stairs and a confusion of good
byes when may I call you and
"see ya's" are heard.
During this mad rush at the
door the guardian angels are for
gotten and some fool tries to
make his way through the Jam
to get to his house mother. After
a big struggle he succeeds; the
party is over.
It all ends with everyone talk
ing at once Isn't he cute? Boy,
what a doll! Wonder if he will
call me, he acted as if he liked
me!

Not-So-Rare
Element in Lab
Are you a chemistry student
dismayed by the immensity of
your field of study. .Then buck
up, because there are still hopes
of you becoming famous even in
your chem 1 lab.
One student at a recognized
university did, by simply dis
covering the ninety-tHird element
and chem department officials
expect a rush of learned scien
tists to the campus any day now.
He has tabulated the following
information concerning his dis
covery. SYMBOL: Woo
OCCURRENCE: A member of
the human family. Can be found
wherever man exists. Seldom
found in the free uncombined
state. Quality depends on the
state in which it is found .
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: All
colors and sizes. Always appears
in disguised condition. Surface of
face usually protected by coating
of paint or film of powder. Boils
at nothing and may freeze at any
moment. However, it melts when
properly treated. Very bitter if
not used correctly.
CHEM ICAL PROPERTIES:
Extremely active. Possesses a
geat affinity for gold, silver,
platinum and precious stones of
all kinds. Violent reaction when
left alone by man. Ability to ab
sorb all sorts of expensive food
at all times. Undissolved by li
quids, but rctivity is greatly in
creased when saturated with
spirit solution. Sometimes yields
to pressure. Turns green when
placed next to a better appear
ing sample. Ages very rapidly.
Fresh variety has magnetic at

Purchasing Division Supplies
Chemicals, Pencils and Mice
Among the many unsung
workers who keep the Univer
sity rolling are those of the Pur.
1 chasing Division, who keep the
institution supplied with every
thing from paper clips to heavy
trucks.
Headed by Director C. A. Don
aldson, the Purchasing Division
includes the general 'stores de
partment, photographic lab,
printing department, and dupli
cating service which are housed
at West Stadium. Located in the
Avery Chemistry building is the
subsidiary office of E. G. Gallo
way, who handles scientific and
laboratory purchases. The Pur
chasing Division maintains a
branch under R. B. Saxon, serv
ing the College of Medicine at
Omaha. Branch stores are located
at the Agriculture College cam
pus. Through Director Donaldson's
office at Administration comes
the requisition slips from the
various University departments.
A professor may wish a new elec
tric outlet . installed in his room.
The typography lab may want a
case of 14-point Roman type.
From a student co-op house may
come a request for a paint job on
norch chairs. Somebody will
want a rug- cleaned. Nothing is
too large or too small to require
a requisition slip, be it for six
pencils or 50 gross of blackboard
crayons.
Nothing much surprises the
Purchasing Division people any
more. A slip may chow up from
a University.. worker who ran out
of gas somewhere oustate .
He'll get the money he spent for
gas. The slip will be just another
item in the bales of paper that
go from office to office.
Able to anticipate routine needs
of the many departments, the
Purchasing office will route most
of the requisitions to G. E. Han
nan's general stores and receiv
ing office at West Stadium. From
the prepurchased supplies kept
there, messengers will be sent to
the various departmental build
ings with the needed items. It is
to West Stadium, too, that the in
coming supplies are shipped and
unpacked. Supplies purchased
for the University stores come to
approximately $100,000 a year,
while special items purchased
from time to time outside may
come to $25,000.
Much of the Purchasing Di
vision business is done with
salesmen and representatives of
supply manufacturers. "We aim
to buy from as close to the manu
facturer as we can," notes Direc
tor Donaldson. Anyone with
something to sell comes to Pur
chasing. "We once got a postcard ask
ing if we wanted to buy some
white doe rabbits," relates Mr.
Donaldson. "We didn't at the
time, but we filed the card. When
a professor wants some white doe
rabbits, we'll know where to get
them."
Within the last two years, two
individuals have called inquiring
whether the University Medical
School would like to buy their
bodies. They were referred to the

Deliveries by truck and train
require attention at all times.
The Purchasing Director had to
break off a Labor Day vacation
to attend to a shipment of white
mice, arriving at an inopportune
time. The mice arrived safe at
their new quarters.
. While the Purchasing Division
may spend as high as a couple
million dollars of taxpayer's
money in a year, it does not for
get the value of a dollar. An item
purchased for a dollar discount
amounts to something, when
multiplied by 25 thousand. The
Purchasing Division continues to
Sport Shorts
Confidence Maker
. Gene Rossides of Columbia
was playing .in his first game
for Coach Lou Little as a fresh
man and had instructions that if
the opening kickoff went into
the end zone, whoever caught it
was to down the ball and not try
to run it cut.
The kickoff went to Lou Kus
serow over the goal line. He
fumbled again, snatched up the
ball and started to run.
On the bench, Little turned to
his assistant, Bill Donelli.
"I think we'd better get that
fellow outta there," he sputtered.
By this time Kusserow was up
to the fifteen and seemingly was
trapped, but he squirmed away
and wasn't caught until he had
run to the opponents' ten yard
line.
Little laid a hand on Donelli's
arm.
"Let him stay in," he said.
"He's only seventeen years old
and if we take him out now we
might shake his confidence."
Just Wants
To Read, Write
The star tackle had just
played his final game. The coach
found him slumped in his chair
and in very low spirits.
"What's the matter, Joe?"
asked the coach. "We won the
game. You played great as you
always did. Everybody rates you
Ail-American. What more do
you want?"
"Nothing much, coach," an
swered the star. "Only I wish I
could read and write!"
The Life
Of Officials
Jack McPhee, the well-known
official, worked several Western
Conference games in 1949 and
one of them was between Ohio
State and Northwestern.
"There were 75,000 people
present that afternoon," Jack re
lates, "and among the was my
wife. The officials were having
a rough day and as I was the
referee I was the target for most
of the boos.
"That night when I met my
wife at the hotel for dinner, I
asked her what she did when
she heard 75,000 fans boo her
husband, and she said:
" 'I did just like the rest. I
stood up and booed, too!' "

Quarterback j
Puzzle for C.U,
One of the most interesting
puzzles facing the Colorado
Buffs' coaching staff this year is
who's gonna be top quarter
back? Coach Dal Ward has, three
promising men vying for the job:
letterman Arlie Beery, and
sophomores Roger Williams and
Lee Venzke. Each man has his
particular strong point and may
get the game-starting nod from
coach under certain circum--stances.
A senior, Beery has been,
switched from the halfback posi
tion where he lettered in 1948
49. A Denver boy, Beery weighs
180 pounds. He is an excellent
ball-handler who has only one
bugaboo facing him will he
overcome his injury jinx of the
past two seasons?
In contrast to Beery, squat
Roger Williams, 190 pounds on
a 5-11 frame, is high in the QB
running with galloping and pass
ing ability but lacking in college
experience. Williams, from De
catur, 111., has shown a lot of
stamina and try. He is shaping
up as an excellent punter.
Venzke is equal to both Beery
and Williams as a signal caller.
He is built along the lines of
Williams though a little lighter
and has a lot of speed. Another
Denverite, Venzke can boot the
ball too. With game time he may
develop into a serious contender
for the opening line-up against
