Requests Keep Her Jumping But Being Hostess Is Fun
By DARLINE MONTGOMERY
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Requests for all kinds of information about the campus and campus activities come to the information desk in the Student Union.
Mrs. Lela Novotny, one of the three Union hostesses, is on duty from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. During this time she answers many of these questions, directs visitors, and checks out keys to various rooms in the Union.
Mrs. Novotny has been a hostess for six years. Sitting behind her desk in the lobby of the Union or walking around on an inspection tour she is always ready to help locate friends of visitors, or to assist students.
Information. Please
She is in charge of all the keys to the rooms in the Union and also of the playing cards and chess sets. She said the cards are in almost continuous use. The only limit on the use of this equipment is the students time.
Requests for information about the campus and activities are divided about equally between the students and visitors, she said. She keeps a supply of campus maps and gives one to anyone who asks for it.
"Many people just can't seem to get around the campus without a map to guide them," she said. "This is very understandable because of the constant change and growth of the campus."
The hostesses try to keep up with all the University activities. People often call requesting information about what is happening in the various auditoriums and theaters.
One visitor asked Mrs. Novotny's opinion about a new motel in Lawrence.
Besides answering questions and checking out cards and keys, it is her responsibility to post the bulletin board in the Union. She keeps a record of room reservations and checks all rooms to be sure they are in order. She supplies necessary

If a student receives a telephone call at the Union, Mrs. Novotny tries to find him. She said the students usually do not hear the public address system and it is often necessary for her to search for a student.

Hunts Students
One of the most popular spots in the Union is the area around the television set. The set is kept locked but the hostess will turn it on at any time. All the student has to do is ask. One faculty member brought an entire class over on a Sunday afternoon to watch a special program.
Regarding the coffee hours at the Union, Mrs. Novotny said, "The coffee hour started with the Poetry Hour but its popularity has grown so fast that some weeks we have as many as four coffees."
Manv Problems
There are some problems connected with her job. Sometimes a student may toss a lighted cigarette off the table when there is a scramble to put it out.
"It is discouraging to find a hole burned in the rug," she said. "But most students appreciate the Union enough that they try to help take care of it," she said.
She said it is difficult to say exactly what her job as hostess is because the needs of the students in relation to the Union change from day to day.
