'Pipinopoulou' Is Uncommon Name Even In Greece
"Pipinopoulou is not a common name, even in Greece," Margarita M. Pipinopoulou, special student from Larissa, Greece.
Miss Pipinopoulou was graduated from a gymnastium, which she said is "more than the equivalent of the American high school" and was taking courses in "general education" at the University of Athens when she won a scholarship for foreign study.
Comes To KU
"One did not know in which country he would get to study. I knew that I wanted to come to America," she said.
Through the Institute of International Education and the Fulbright Committee of Greece, Miss Pipinopoulou was sent to the University of Kansas and the William Allen White School of Journalism.
Reading and music are two of Miss Pipinpoulou's hobbies. She plays the piano "but not very much now." She does not like jazz. However, popular music is very "pleasuresome" and "The Trouble with Harry" is "most amusing for me," she said.
The 23-year-old coed arrived here Sept. 1, 1955, via "plane and boat and plane." "I flew from home (Athens) to Naples, Italy, and got the "Independence" from Naples to New York City. From there I flew TWA to Kansas City," she explained.
To Go To England
To Go To England
In October she will return to Greece, where she plans to study French and French literature.
Next spring, however, she plans to go to England and "experience living with real English people," she said.
"I was allowed to go to an English-speaking country because of my score on an English proficiency test in grammar, but that did not help me with my speaking of English and at first I had a lot of trouble," she said. "Now it is better and I find myself thinking in English sometimes."
4 Business Juniors Win Scholarships

Scholarships have been awarded to four juniors in the School of Business for next year.
Charles Eugene Beall, Leavenworth, will hold the Mavtag Scholarship in Commerce. This $200 award is for a student in the upper quarter of his class.
Scholarships from the William Wiedemann Fund will go to Richard L. Liester, Hoxie, and Sotirios Demetriou Boukis, Athens, Greece.
William H. Jena, Iola, will receive the Kansas Savings and Loan League Scholarship in Business. This $150 student standing fund majoring in finance.
Noyes Scholarships Announced, Renewed
Carol Ann Douglass, Newton freshman, has been awarded a LaVerne Noyes scholarship for the 1956-1957 year. Renewal of scholarships were given to John D. Greiner, Kansas City, Kan., LaDene A. Cummins, Holyrood, and GeorgeGaene Reardon, Lawrence, all seniors.
The LaVerne Noyes scholarships pay part or full tuition to deserving students who are sons and daughters of World War I veterans.

Customs Strange
Customs Strange
Miss Pipinopoulou finds some American customs strange. "Eating fruit and sweet things with the meal, as you do here, would be very strange to Grimsey," she said. "Ladder Fremont."
"It has been a wonderful experience living in Watkins Hall and I consider this kind of residence best for students," she said. "I also consider too much stress being placed on social life in your schools. In Europe they train the mind; here, they train the mind and stress the social aspect too."
Being allowed to study here has been "really enjoyable and profitable" she concluded.
It Isn't There But It Is
One of the 18th Century German and Austrian art pieces now on exhibit at the Museum of Art isn't there—but it is.
Last year the museum acquired a painting, "Cleopatra pleads before Octavian," from a Naples art dealer. But then came a hitch. If the Italian government feels that any piece of art being sent out of Italy is important enough to keep inside the country, it may legally buy it from the owner at a price equal to purchase offers.
Edward Maser, director of the KU Museum of Art, felt he had a way around the possessive attitude of art-loving Italian officials. He paid two or three times what he thought an Italian government official in Florence would offer. But the persistent Italian official still wants the painting, and has offered to buy it to keep it in Italy.
Now Maser he can't do anything but wait for the decision of the Italian government as to the fate of the painting, and the show at the museum which ends May 30 must go on.
Not to be completely outdone. Maser has substituted the next best thing for the missing painting.
In its place hangs a photograph of the original.
Panel Talks On Automation
Three faculty members made up a panel last night which discussed "The Prospects of Automation" at a meeting of the Graduate Club.
The panel members were Robert J. Ashley, instructor of electrical engineering; Carl J. Cabe, assistant professor of economics; and J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science.
Mr. Ashley began the discussion by defining automation and outlining it from the engineering standpoint. He said that he thought "mass production invented by Henry Ford was the beginning of automation."
Mr. Cabe spoke on the economic aspects of automation. He said productivity has increased about 21/2 per cent due to automation." He clarified this by saying that "during the past decade there was a 15 per cent increase in population while employment increased 38 per cent."
Mr. Fields spoke about automation in the future and did some speculating. He said that "automation brings about leisure time and this brings about two problems due to automation."
"The first problem," Mr. Fields said, "is whether or not we will increase our cultural advantages in this extra leisure time. The second problem is that our middle class people must decide to which kind of philosophy they owe their allegiance."
Professors Elect Paden President
W. D. Paden, professor of English, was elected president of the American Association of University Professors for next year at their dinner meeting at the Faculty Club Wednesday. It was their final meeting of the year.
Other officers are J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, vice president; Miss Muriel Johnson, instructor of home economics, secretary; Edwin Robinson, associate professor of philosophy, treasurer; M. C. Slough, professor of law, and Theodore Metcalf, associate professor of bacteriology, executive committee members.
Richard Sheridan, assistant professor of economics, Milton Steinhard, associate professor of music history, and Edward Nelson, professor of economics will remain on the executive committee.
