O'Leary Portrait To Be Shown
An oil portrait of the late Raphael Dorman O'Leary, for 40 years a KU English professor, will be shown for the first time Sunday.

It was presented to the University by Prof. O'Leary's sons, Dr. Paul M. O'Leary, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Cornell University; Dorman H. O'Leary, vice president of Cook Paint and Varnish Co., Kansas City, Mo.; and Theodore M. O'Leary, editor of profitable Hobbies magazine, Kansas City, Mo. All are KU graduates.
Prof. O'Leary's widow now lives in Kansas City, Mo. Members of the family will be guests at O'Leary Hall Sunday.
The vernal equinox will occur March 20 in 1956.
Finding Student Housing A Problem
Finding a place for KU students to live is a job that isn't finished during enrollment week. It goes on all year. Mrs. Ruth Nash of the University Housing Office, 222 Strong, is constantly helping students find rooms or apartments.
"Of course, I'm busier in the fall than at any other time, but my work never ends," Mrs. Nash said. "There is so much correspondence to take care of. I receive letters all year from men and women who plan to come to KU. They inquire about housing months before they come to enroll. Some of the dorms are already filled for next year."
Many Listings
When a student comes to Mrs. Nash's office looking for a room, there are many listings on file. There are rooms and apartments available to students, married couples with or without children,
graduate students and teachers.
graduate students and teachers.
The person isn't given a list and sent out on his own to look for a room, unless he wants to do it that way. If he wants help, Mrs. Nash helps him. The room is from the campus, whether he can keep a car there, how the room is furnished, its size and other facts. She said most of them ask for this extra information.
Year Around Effort
Keeping room listings up to date requires her attention all year.
Keeping room listings up to date requires her attention all year. Sometimes students want to move. "That happens most often in the fall. There are many reasons a student may want to get a new
room. Maybe he wants one closer to the campus or one that is less expensive. By spring, not so many get the desire to make a change. They may not be satisfied, but they would rather stay than have the trouble of moving when school is so nearly over."
Are there complaints? "Hardly a week goes by that some complaint doesn't reach me," Mrs. Nash said. She handles most of them, but some have to be called to the attention of the dean of women or dean of men. "Complaints work both ways. It isn't always the landlady finding fault with the student."
Mrs. Nash said that Lawrence renters have been quite cooperative with her office. "Many of them prefer to rent to students than to working people."
