Counselors Serve Meal As Confusion Reigns
Confusion reigned at Corbin hall's dinner meal last night when seven counselors and the dormitory director went on a rampage in an unofficial "waitress appreciation meal."

Cowboy music, plates turned upside down, liberal and inaccurate water pouring, and costumes ranging from a bathing suit to a pot-bellied hobo with a pussycat paoose were a few of he features highlighting the meal.
The dishwashers and kitchen help at Corbin saw it coming. The seven Corbin counselors, led by the dormitory director, gathered in a picturesque group just inside the kitchen. All this was very much unknown to the freshman girls who were streaming to the dining room.
It started rather unobtrusively. The eight new "self-appointed waitresses" paused until the girls were seated, then quietly began passing out packs of ice cream to each table.
That ice cream probably set a record as the messiest ever served at Corbin hall. The girls found it difficult to eat ice cream from a water glass without silverware.
"What, no plates?" asked one astonished freshman. Another chirped daintly. "What happened to the meal?"
Then, liberally sprinkled water made its appearance from the pistols of the new waitress. Surprised and frightened from the sight, the waitresses retreat to the kitchen.
Amid the confusion, the main course was served. The food itself wasn't messy. It was just that the table plates stayed as the waitresses had put them—upside down.
One voice made itself heard with "In view of the way we all feel tonight's closing hours tonight are one a.m."
Milk became a glaring feature of many table tops as waitresses, serving the beverage in fruit-cocktail hurriedly placed it on the tables.
One waitress was overheard to say, "If they get anything to eat out of this, they'll be lucky."
Another, asking for butter, yelled,
"that plate! it on a plate,
well it looks, it is loose."
Silverware, one kiteleen knife to each girl finally was distributed.
The meal ended suddenly with approximately 30 girls in pursuit
Medical Center Soon to Have Student Union
A new student union at the University Medical Center in Kansas City is nearing completion.
The structure, being built by numerous private contributions, will house a recreation room for students and doctors, an auditorium for lectures, a cafeteria, and study rooms.
A drive for funds for the new building began in 1951, when Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, then dean of the School of Medicine, asked the Kress foundation for a grant.
Kress foundation agreed to give $150,000 toward the new building if a like amount could be raised by the Medical Center. Local merchants, students, friends of the University, and the University Endowment association contributed $180,000 completing the agreement.
Children Visit Spooner Museum
The children's work room in the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art has visitors in addition to the regular groups of Lawrence children, who meet for classes there.
Established for graduate and undergraduate students in art education, the work room provides experience in working with children for students supervising.
Methods in painting, drawing and cut-paper work are taught.
Regular classes are held Saturday mornings, taught by Diana Cruse, education junior, and Thursday afternoons, taught by Annette Luthy, fine arts sophomore. In addition there are classes made by appointment.
Members of West Windy school near Wellsville visited the international children's art exhibit Saturday. They worked for an hour in the children's room under the direction of Anna Belle Rees, graduate student in education.

The new waitresses, when caught, were tried and convicted by their peers. The verdict—cold showers.

Study Made to Learn Handwriting Practices
"How is handwriting taught in the public schools?" was the question Cloy S. Hobson and Charles E. Johnson, professors in the School of Education recently tried to determine by polling school officials throughout the nation.

A check list of 17 handwriting practices was made and sent to the state supervisors in all 48 states, the county superintendents city superintendents or elementary supervisors in all first and second class cities in Kansas.
A wide variety of practices was found among the 69 per cent of the judges who returned the check list. Manuscript writing should be taught to the child first, followed by a gradual change to cursive writing by the second or third grade, and practice in handwriting should be integrated with constant learning in other subjects 80 per cent of those responding believed.
Over 70 per cent of the judges

favored scheduling a regular period during the school day for the teaching of handwriting and basing instruction on a teacher's manual or guide to instruction rather than upon a commercially prepared series of handwriting materials.
A majority of the judges do not favor requiring children to practice lines, circles, and curves as a foundation for forming letters. Each child should be permitted to establish his own speed and rhythm of writing rather than drill in unison with the other students, it was reported.
