Housemother Jolts Watkins Women, But All Ends Well
By NANCY HARMON (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
A
A joke is a joke, but the 49 women in Watkins Scholarship Hall were scarcely prepared for the one played on them by their house-mother, Miss Julia Ames Willard, early this morning.
Following a surprise Easter breakfast at 6:30, Miss Willard solemnly told the group she had a letter from Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, which she had been instructed to read. The letter read as follows:
"To all women scholarship hall residents: It has been called to my attention by numerous administrators that men and women of the University, and particularly those of the scholarship halls, have indiscreetly been showing their affection for one another in a most public manner.
Porches, Cars Displays
Porches, Cars Displays "Especially offensive are those displays found on front porches shortly prior to closing hours and in cars parked on public streets in front of these residences.
"The administration feels that students have misused their privilege of freedom as shown by this apparent lack of self-control. Due to these circumstances the administration is compelled to prohibit men from calling at the women's scholarship halls after 6 p.m.
Reactions Vary
"This ruling is in effect until such time as the administration feels the students are able to show their maturity as members of the University family. Sincerely, Martha Peterson, dean of women."
Immediate reactions ranged from "They'll never be able to enforce it" to "Well, that's one way of getting some studv time."
The women were still mulling over the letter when an "April Fool" sign was carried in. The letter was written by Laurel Marshall, Onaga junior, and Diann Linn, Salina senior, with Miss Peterson's permission to use her name.
At present, the general concensus
Matkins is that Miss Willard des-
erves an Oscar.
Atlantic Monthly Refers To KU Yell
A reference, apparently to the famous "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" yell, is in an article in the April issue of The Atlantic Monthly.
The article, anecdotes about the poet Vachel Lindsay, was written by Carmer, a member of several colleges and universities.
When Mr. Lindsay was giving a reading at the school,Mr. Carmer wrote the poet "opened with the 'Kallyope Yell'" which he said should be delivered in a "mass whisper" as University of Kansas students gave their 'Jay Hawk Yell.'
