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- TJnfalr Penalty Stout Steven Owen, the New York Giants coach was having a terrible time with penalties.

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, if that isn't the most unfair penalty I ever saw!' H ' WIMt, a, called who brings you in contact with the spirit world?". Father: "A bartender, son." I "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!

Student Finds 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.

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 ;';!; 'if: l-ii jjj liii II . - J I c t til haft "?., . card1!-! r 11 AS - ill iM c ;i m if- I ,..?' '-.-fc'iH - 7f H I Ml l sa state anatomical board, which provides medical school cadavers. 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!' " t 5wa slV? matched sweater set neck spend University money with a careful hand. "We're here to work for the people who are educating the studentsy" says C. A. Donaldson. "We see that departments get what they want quickly and cheaply." , 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 Iowa-State, Sept. 23, CLASSIFIED ATTENTION organised houses! I hav Rome new.
