WomenChoose Own Hair-dos
The well-known woman's privilege of changing her mind extends this spring to the variety of new hair styles. Coiffures have entered the "as you like it" era, with the highest fashion a becoming hair style.
Rather than follow a dictated mode, which often may not be flattering, coeds are finding the most attractive hair cut, and each girl chooses her own favorite. This trend is evidenced by the many different lengths in contrast to the monotony of previous years when everyone copied the current fad.
Short hair, cooler for the warmer days and often more easily managed, is in the majority. However, there is a wide variety in just how brief a cut to choose. Italian styles are attractive for the girl whose face lends itself to a severe cut, but these are often modified by a slight wave.
Coeds may choose a shoulder-length bob, an extremely short "boy cut," or any length in between, depending on which is most becoming. They may elect a soft wave, tight curls, or a very straight mode.
Especially favored by the campus girl is the "roommate special," though it is wise to see examples of the friend's handiwork before completely trusting oneself to her scissors and imagination Many college girls seem to have a knack for trimming each other's hair expertly, though.
A small spray of spring flowers slipped among the curls will add a lovely touch to many hairdos, and many girls should note especially the advantages of a hat which follows and accents the hairline.
Perhaps the most desirable and practical style is a moderate length which may be varied by several different sets for classtime or for special occasions.
How ever you choose to wear it—wear it as you like it!
Women in Sports Play Their Part
"Anything you can do, I can do better." seems to be the cry of American womanhood—and believe it or not. the girls are good tracksters too!
The women sprinters and runners of America have had some good records, with the great Mildred "Babe" Zaharias doing a big part in the 30s. Two Pennsylvania girls, Stella Walsh. of Philadelphia, and Catherine Hardy, of Harrisburg, have made excellent sprinting records, as did Jean Lane, of Ohio, in 1952.
The American women didn't do so well in the world events, but sometime an Olympic team is bound to bring home the trophy.
At this University, the coeds don't seem too inclined to run, with cars and all—they'd just as soon watch Wes Santee come running in. But if the girls don't race up the hill in the early morning in track shorts, they do play a part in the relays—and will be out to cheer the men on at relay time.
Teens Go Crazy Over Bright-Colored Pants
New York — (U,P)— Those slim- cut, colorful pants the teen-agers love are getting crazier by the season.
The latest "crazy" pants fairly scream with bright pink and red harlequin cheeks. Some of the spring ones are decorated with outsize fish prints and dollar-size coin dots.
Even the tot-size children are taking to the fad. And although mothers may have to wear blinders when the children come into the room, there is this to say for the pants—most of them are of sailcloth and other sturdy fabrics which wash easily.
FOR THOSE SPRING FORMAL DANCES—Carolyn Pearson, college sophomore, adds the last touch as she prepares for the big occasion—the spring formal. Carolyn is wearing a ballerina length dress accented with a wide waistband of sequined hearts. The tiny bows at the shoulders add a fashionable touch to an up-to-date formal ensemble.
Science Building Adds Beauty, Utility to Campus
In connection with the laboratories are balance rooms, apparatus rooms and supply and record rooms. Adequate space has been allotted for offices for the senior staff, chairmen and laboratory directors. Study rooms are available for graduate students.

Have you stopped to notice the huge structure in the area south and slightly west of Robinson gymnasium and Haworth hall lately? Sure—the new science building!
This addition to the University affords an opportunity for greater scientific expansion accommodating the chemistry, physics, and pharmacy departments, and replacing Bailey and Blake halls, formerly the homes of these departments.
Included in the building are laboratories, classrooms, research facilities, new apparatus and a big scientific combined library of all three departments. The shape of the building is an "E" with three prongs protecting southward.
The basement under the east wing and the center section contain apparatus for research in radio chemistry. Four basement rooms will be kept at a constant temperature for research and storage of perishable supplies.
The department of physics will have the entire west wing-basement and four floors. The entire east wing-basement and five floors and a storage attic—and the basement and first two floors of the center portion will be assigned to chemistry.
The School of Pharmacy will have the third, fourth and fifth floors of the center portion of the building.
Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Gerber, of Leavenworth, Kan. announce the engagement of their daughter, Carla to Edgar L. Vinson Jr., of Abilene, Kan. Miss Gerber lives at Monchonsia hall, and Vinson is a member of Don Henry Co-op. Both are college sophomores.
The science departments have been moving equipment into the building ever since last Christmas and expect to be completely moved in by next September. "Moving will continue gradually but at the close of the semester, moving to the building will proceed at an accelerated pace." R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, said.
The estimated cost of the building is three and a quarter million dollars. It covers 160,000 square feet of space.
"Some classwork will be conducted in the building this summer. Certain rooms will be ready for use at that time." Prof. Brewster said.
Go down and take a look at this modern, beautifully designed addition to the campus—it will be well worth the walk!
The Unusual Season Brings Antics Galore
By KAREN HILMER
Dances, picnics, swimming, horseback riding—all for your enjoyment, compliment of the beautiful, lazy spring weather we are having on the Hill!
Yes, its that time again—the time when its so easy to forget about the next day's assignment—the time for the seniors to pull cute goaway tricks on the underclassmen. Those who are witnessing the spring student antics on the Hill for the first time have many surprises in store for them.
On those hot, sunny, late May afternoons when there is nothing to but study, a popular sport is to spend the day at Lone Star lake or the local swimming pool. Of course we take our books along, contemplating final week when there will be more days spent in trying out a different dive or swimming stroke.
A very popular joke about this time of year is to bodily carry frantically tossing and turning girl or boy to Potter lake and dump them—shoes and all. It sounds awful but its really a lot of fun—if you are doing the dumping.
Then there is always the race between the coeds to see who can look more like a boiled lobster. This is done on those same lazy afternoons—first the girl buys all sorts of sunitan lotions and baby oils, then dons the newest fashion in a bathing suit—takes a beach towel and sits on the sundeck for four or five hours. What a life!
Did someone say picnic? Sure did, so let's go. Grab the essentials—all kinds of food from potato chips to baked beans—enough to last all day—blankets, radio, swim suits, towels, plenty of sun and time.
If you notice students, seniors in particular, looking a little stary-eyed and lackadaisical, be patient with them—four years is four years and the campanile hill looks mighty good to them now. If they do strange thinks such as throwing all of your clothes into a suitcase and shipping them off to heaven knows where—be patient and laugh it off—or they will ship them further than you expected.
A favorite topic of conversation among the coeds is the many spring dances in the offing—the hustling around to borrow a formal or show off your new one. Then off to an evening of music- dancing and fun.
There are so many unusual things typical to a KU spring season. Take it from those who have experienced it—it's great living—the best!
