IT ISN'T EASY—Arlene Gall, college senior, demonstrates a principle of home making that she has learned while living in the Home Management house this semester.
6 Seniors Cook, Clean at HomeManagementHouse
By MADELYN BRITE
Home economics seniors are getting a preview of homemaking in the home management house, the white bungalow behind Blake hall and Watkins hospital where six women students are "keeping house."
The home management house has been operating since 1929 as a laboratory in homemaking. Miss Muriel Johnson, supervisor, said. Students majoring in home economics and elementary education may live in the house for six weeks and receive two hours credit. About three groups of 4 to 8 students live there each semester.
Peggy Hughes, Mary Eversull, Carol McClenahan, and Pat Stevenson, education seniors; and Arlene Gall and Carolyn Husted, home economics seniors, comprise the present group. They take turns as cook, hostess, waitress, manager, a n d cleaning the upstairs and downstairs. They buy all the supplies and keep a budget. Every effort is made to develop a home-like situation. Miss Johnson said.
The white bungalow is receiving a new coat of paint this year, she said. Inside there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room on the first floor, and four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. Appliances include a dish washer, waste disposal, mangle, clothes washer and dryer, deep freezers, and five kinds of vacuums.
Each group gives a buffet dinner and a formal dinner in addition to regular meals. Students are free to entertain personal friends and usually take advantage of it, Miss Johnson said. "Boy friends are always getting handouts. Everybody gains weight while living in the house." she said.
The residents agreed that it was an enjoyable experience to live in the house, although some unforeseen things happen. Carolyn Husted said that she had put 60 cookies in the deep freezer to save for dinner She found only 12 several days later.
All seemed proud of their cooking accomplishments. One resident proudly displayed a picture of her baked Alaska. On an invitation sent for a dinner party, the group used this verse: "To earn and keep a loving spouse. 'one must live in the H.M. house.'"

Today's Student Eager To Be Sophisticated BY MARY BESS STEPHENS
We define "campus sophistication" as that wordly something that makes a woman look sexually promiscuous and a man stone cold.
Never before have we seen so many people so eager to be sophisticated. People are trying hard to arch their eyebrows for that disdainful look—and are succeeding only in looking mildly surprised.
The greatest compliment is to be told you are sophisticated, judging from the reaction that set in when a girl in the Student Union told another that her hair style was "terribly sophisticated." The compli-mented one gave a blush and nearly died being pleased to death.
We wonder why the worldly trend? Sophistication, we believe, has come to represent a type, not a frame of mind. Sleek hair, mascaraed eyes, a leer for a smile, and a slouching walk apparently mottled with a hint of sophistication are the personification of the feminine sophisticate on the campus of today.
And the men! Sophisticated men all look alike. Little Robert Tailors with pipes in hand and eyes at half mast. They start out an evening with chains loaded with 12 insulting words, and they sit on Yorker carefully concealed in their pockets, so that they can keep up with and claim the latest witticisms.
The only hope we can see for the sophistication trend is the fact that BOSS needs it.
Maybe next year the sophisticates will change type. Maybe they will become vast intellectuals, and the revolution will be filled with literary teas.
Well—we've heard Cather praised and Eliot cussed, we've been to literary teas. Everyone likes to get a hand in when it comes to intellectual breeze. Hot air lies—big fat lies—the bunk to literary teas.

Designer Wins Fashion Award
New York — (U,P)— A gangling, modest young man from New Jersey who got the cool shoulder from the world's two leading fashion capitals now can say, "I told you so."
He won this year's top award from fashion critics, and he did it by sticking to his principles that clothes suhold first of all be pretty.
James Galanos, the 30-year-old designer who last night was presented the "winnie," the statuette given each year to the winner of the Coty American fashion critics' award, makes it all sound very simple.
He says he takes the most beautiful fabrics he can find and then turns them into dresses with the simplest and most flattering lines he can create.
Yet three years ago he scarcely had two spools of thread to rub together. He worked for one designer in Paris and sold sketches to several designers in New York city before he moved to Los Angeles to open his own new business in 1951. Now he has 50 employees and customers who happily buy gowns like his moss green satin evening dress priced at $950.
