Women's rule stands
Meal dress is formal
More than half of KU's students wear slacks to dinner—the rest still cannot.
Women in University residence halls, except Miller and Naismith Halls, must wear "campus clothes" to weekday dinners.
Hashinger Hall residents still are waiting for the dean of women's office to tell them whether or not they can wear slacks to weekday dinners.
McCollum Hall women haven't presented a statement to the dean's office yet. A committee of women interested in the cause has met several times but its members "have a multitude of ideas and can't compromise" on exactly what they want to request.
Miller Hall revised its dress code along with its constitution last spring. The constitution was approved by the dean of women's office. No dress code is in force at Naismith, a private co-ed dorm.
Hashinger Hall residents voted to wear "casual clothes" to dinner and sent a statement to the dean of women's office requesting permission to violate the minimal dress code in The Handbook of Official Policies for Women's Residence Halls. It says University residence hall women must wear "campus clothes" to weekday dinners.
KU's foreign students favor engineering field
Engineering and architecture is the most popular field of study among the 646 foreign students on the KU campus, being the choice of 168 - or more than a fourth.
The physical sciences attracted 95, as did the Intensive English Center. Eighty-one chose the social sciences.
Other majors chosen by foreign students include: life sciences, 26; mathematics, 13; humanities, 62; pharmacy, 24; education, 22; business, 22; medical science, 11; journalism, 10; general liberal arts, 9; and fine arts, 8.
The statement was returned for lack of complete definition of "casual clothes." Hashinger presented the dean of women's office Dec. 8 with a more complete request defining "casual clothes" as slacks, jeans, Bermuda shorts, sweatshirts and similar attire.
Women in residence halls are allowed to wear "easual clothes" Friday and Saturday nights and may also wear rollers then.
Glenna Brown, Shawnee Mission junior, and McColum Hall women's vice-president, said the McColium committee would not meet again until next semester.
Tau Beta Pi plans drive to recruit future engineers
Tau Beta Pi, an honorary engineering fraternity, will begin a high-school visitation program next semester, according to Larry Meeker, Garden City senior and president of the fraternity.
Members of the fraternity will speak to junior high and high school math and science classes, about the engineering profession.
Meeker said the speakers would explain engineering courses and departments at KU, but the project's stress was on recruiting students to the engineering profession—not necessarily to KU.
The members will speak in the high schools during semester and spring breaks since the Board of Regents prohibits recruiting during school sessions, Meeker said.
New theaters should be ready by spring
Three new theaters are under construction in Hillcrest Shopping Center.
Eldon Harwood, manager of the Granada Theater and city manager of Commonwealth Theaters in Lawrence, said ground breaking for the theaters was Dec. 1 and completion is planned for spring, depending on the weather.
The new theaters will be at the west end of the center drive of the shopping center. All three will be located in one building and will have a common box office and lobby, but separate theaters.
Harwood said the theaters will be doing a "more flexible job" in showing different kinds of pictures.
He said they will "show more
of the new motion pictures and do a better job."
The Commonwealth Theaters in Lawrence have been showing some art and some general films, said Harwood and more of these types will be shown. "There are more and better pictures available to us now," he said.
Herb Williams, president of the Malls Merchant Association, said Durwood Theaters, a Kansas City concern, is possibly planning to build a four-theater complex in the Malls Shopping Center sometime in the future.
Oriental kites often are built in the shape of birds, fish, dragons insects or even people.
Timely talk given at museum
The evolution of clock and watch movements has long been the subject of investigation, but the evolution of the decorative style of timepiece cases has seldom been documented.
John Ittmann, Art Museum registrar, lectured on "Clock and Watch Designs" at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Spooner Lecture Hall, at the Art Museum.
Ittmann said European ornament masters greatly influenced decorative timepiece design.
Lynda is dressy
NEW YORK—(UPI) — Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, a White House bride only five weeks ago, has moved onto the international list of best-dressed women for the first time. Her mom, the First Lady, who made it last year, was dropped.
Early designs were usually engraved in metal cases, he said.
In the 17th century Jean Toutin developed a method of painting on enamel which resulted in a demand for enameled watches. The cases of these watches were decorated with painted portraits, classical and Biblical scenes and floral ornamentation, he said.
Ittmann's talk was given in conjunction with a collection of timepieces on exhibit in the Art Museum.
At the end of the 17th century, French decorators designed clocks and watches for royal patrons. These timepieces made of marble and gilt bronze, often were decorated with painted porcelain plaques, Ittmann said.
