Adjusting Horses and Study Challenging to KU Student
If you think its hard to co-ordinate study with class hours, try adjusting horses with study and class hours.
By Willis Henson
When Miss Mayor entered KU two years ago, she decided to give up horseback riding. However, instead, she began giving private lessons to a grade-school boy at Lake Quivira, her home.
"It's rewarding to introduce children to such a wholesome pastime," Miss Mayor commented. "Riding gives them confidence and teaches them responsibility. Half of them earn money for their lessons—so they don't have time to get into trouble."
According to Elsie Mayor, Kansas City sophomore, it's difficult but rewarding.
"It was especially hard during American Royal Week. That was a real rat race." she said.
THIS YEAR three of her students entered and placed in equitation competition in the American Royal Livestock and Horse show which ended last weekend. They won fourth, eighth, and tenth places among sixty entries.
"Im just really pleased," Miss Mayor said in regard to their performance. She explained that equitation judging deals with horsemanship, rather than jumping ability. Her young students were judged on riding style and management of their horses.

was entered in the hunter class. He was the youngest competitor. In 1953, she, herself, was the youngest junior rider in the show. "This year, I had the privilege of coaching the youngest," she said.
At the age of nine, she began her career in horsemanship. After learning the basics of riding and jumping, Miss Mayor spent several years training horses and riders.
DURING HER eleven-year teaching span, she has had up to six students a month and earned from $40 to $100 a month, in "an enjoyable, profitable business."
She wes a top show rider and assistant instructor for Capt. William C. Meyer at the Meyer Remount Farm at Leavenworth.
During the school year, she goes home each weekend and gives lessons on Saturday mornings.
Magazine Pictures 'Best Dressed Girl'

Miss Yankey was chosen by the magazine last spring as one of the 1963 "Ten Best Dressed College Girls in America." As a winner of Kansas University's contest co-sponsored by the All Women's Association, she competed against candidates from 250 colleges all over the country.
She also appeared in the August issue of the magazine wearing some of the latest campus fashions.
Clothing and Textiles Topics of Discussion
Current emphases in clothing and textiles was the theme of the fall conference on the teaching of home economies at the University of Kansas Friday, Oct. 18.
Dr. Lois Gilmore, associate dean of home economies at Ohio State University, was the keynote speaker, discussing the directions clothing and textiles studies are now taking.
Other speakers from the KU home economies faculty were Profs. Muriel Johnson, Ruth Franzen, Glen Christen en and Judith Wiley.
"Maybe someday I'll have one of my own," she said.
Miss Mayor plans to major in zoology and become a high school teacher. "At least I'll have summers to keep up my interest in riding and horses."
One peculiar thing about Miss Mayor's riding career: she has never owned her own horse.
"The clothes you wear are an extension of your personality," says Dr. Ernest Dichter of Motivational Research Institute, Inc. "We become emotionally involved in the clothes we wear."
Clothing Reflects Personality Traits
If such be the case, and survey questionnaires suggest it, then character, talents, ability, attitudes and your acceptance or aversion to your environment can be detected by observing your clothing.
