University Students
By NANCY NEVILLE AND KAREN HILMER
Sauntering one day to the J-school, we were weary and ill at ease. Our feet wandered sluggishly over the cluttered floor. We knew not what they were scheming or what they were planning then, but we took one look at the tip sheet—sob! Here we go again—another lost story. (Many thanks to Jimmy Durante for providing us with an opening paragraph).
Adhering to its admirable policy of being first in the field with accurate, up-to-the-minute coverage of campus news, the University Daily Kansan sent two of its cracked reporters, Nance Cox and Joe Tippo (we get more original as the inches go by?). to the Student Confederacy building.
Armed with pencils, paper, press cards and cigarettes, the two pseudo-journalists were pointed toward their objective and turned loose—assignment—interview students (and we use the term loosely) on study habits for final week.
The reporters began their assignment by buying a few cups (or
should we say caldrons) of coffee. Well fortified with caffein, they headed toward their victims.
A-ha! What do we have here—could our eyes deceive us? (Could be, since our glasses got caught in the linotype the other day.) Sitting behind many, many milk cartons was a dejected little freshman. She was approached with the question, "Pardon us, but—a-hu--but how do you study for finals?" Indignant at our unorthodox merriment, she raised her small head from the 'Oxbow Incident' and with fingers bitten to the bone, pointed to pages
or outlining and textbooks which obviously had been read 12 or 13 times.
Caught in Pre-Final Clutch?
Realizing that she was not typical of University students, the reporters left her while she continued to do a complete analysis of the 25 cent pocket edition. However, permission to quote她 was obtained in case more words were needed for the article.
"My system is to drink much coffee and take plenty of No-Doze. As long as I'm awake, I can read mycrib notes, but once I close my eyes,I'm sunk!" (Should he have said flunked?)
Going from one extreme to another—the sublime to the ridiculous the reporters approached the boy who they knew to be a senior and asked him the same question. Unstacking several dozen coffee cups in order to see his interviewees, Cof B Rean replied:
suggestions, Newshawk and Scoop trudged onward.
Thanking him for his worthwhile
Seeing a group involved in a hot game of Culbertson, the reporters strolled over. "Would you mind taking time out to tell us your method for studying for finals?" The four were queried. Ap. L. Polishing, agricultural junior spoke up—
"All I do is send Christmas cards to my professors, have them over to dinner, flatter them, laugh at their jokes, buy them coffee between periods, and look intelligent in class. Anyone can make A's that way."
Noticing that the other three in the group closely resembled professors no further comment was made by the stumped reporters.
A disorganized student attracted the interviewers' attention. Upon being questioned, Marty Must-break, college sophomore replied:
study for five minutes then take a break for about a half hour. Cigarettes and gab sessions every five minutes help to keep my mind on my studies. People just have to have a break—to enjoy the finer things of life" she said as she lit another free "Lucky"
Being rather obnoxious, the reporter's were curious as to her grade average—she gave the information freely—"Oh, much better than last semester. '8!"
We gathered up our volumes of notes and had one last cup of java before we trundled back up to the J-building via behind green.
The original intention of this story was to provide helpful suggestions to students for their studying during the coming week of anticipation—or is it dissipation?
But after reviewing the facts, the writers of said article decided that perhaps all who read this should disregard the ideas here presented
Granny Who Can't Cook Has Chefs' School BY ROBERT LANE
New Haven —(U.P.)- The famous chefs are men, but a woman who admits she's no cooking expert is teaching some of them kitchen know-how.
United Press Staff Correspondent
Mrs. Frances Roth, a 57-year-old grandmother, is head of the Culinary Institute of America. From her kitchen classrooms come male cooks to rival the European chefs who long have dominated the industry.
The fact that a woman is helping to train men as top chefs may be surprising. But even more unusual is the fact that Mrs. Roth doesn't consider herself a cooking expert.
Mrs. Roth is an attorney, or was until she came to the rescue of restaurant operators hard-put for cooking talent.
She was only 21 when she was graduated from New York University School of Law.
Her friendship with restaurant people began in World War II. As head of an anti-vice cleanup campaign, she went to New Haven's hotel and restaurant managers for cooperation. She got it.
Shortly after she became the first woman member of the Connecticut Bar Association. By 1929 she was city prosecutor for New Haven and a leader in domestic relations and juvenile court problems.
Then, with the war over, she was asked by the restaurant men to organize some kind of training school for chefs. They explained that the top foreign-trained chefs were getting both scarcity and old.
"I make my best grades when
Mrs. Roth's school started with 55 veterans, training under the GI Bill of Rights.
She hired high-salaried chefs for her staff. Within a year, thanks to the generosity of the widow of a retired Yale university president, Mrs. Roth moved her institute to a 40-room mansion.
"Biggest kick I get," she said, "is when some reverse the tradition and go abroad. Some of the graduates have top jobs in famous European restaurants."
Her culinary school turns out two types of graduates—one group qualify as cooks after eight months of training, and the other studies 16 months to get top chef or baker's rating.
More than 50 per cent of the graduates enter the restaurant field, and some open their own businesses.

Skirts Styles Stay Standard In Advance Spring Showing
New York — (U.P.)— Knees will be neatly covered this spring by skirts hemmed to an average 14 inches from the floor. Even Christian Dior has left skirt lengths alone.
A few brief flurries of excitement occurred during fashion shows this week for 168 visiting fashion writers when, a few models in noticeably short skirts appeared in designer's showrooms.
"The dress was made on a shorter model," was the usual explanation. "We think 14 inches is about right for skirts."
Christian Dior, the man who set off sewing room explosions last fall in Paris by showing clothes just below the knee, turned attention to
the tops of his outfits for spring.
Mr. Dior put big collars on suits.
One spring wool suit in a new pumpkin shade had a cape collar extending to the seam of the dropped shoulder line. Padding to accent the busting curve appeared in both suits and dresses. This was first introduced a year ago as the "tulip" curve.
