University students are given many opportunities for religious worship and study. More than 20 religious organizations are on campus for the various sects and denominations.
The Lawrence churches also welcome all. University students and many have ministers especially for the students.
The School of Religion, an interdenominational institution at the University, offers the students accredited courses such as Life and Teaching of Jesus, English Bible, Old Testament Literature, History of the Church, Hebrew History, and History of the world's Living Religions.
The Rev. Harold G. Barr is dean of the school which is located in Myers hall. Classes are taught by Rev. Barr, Lawrence ministers, and Rabbi Samuel Mayerberg, who comes from Kansas City once a week.
A Young Women's Christian Association and a Young Men's Christian association were organized exclusive to students. The students take a house for graduate students.
Denominational student groups are Canterbury club, Episcopal youth group; Congregational Youth Group; Hillel foundation, Jewish youth group Kappa Beta, Chama Phi Phi, Methodist women's organization; Wesley foundation, Methodist youth group; Lutheran Students association;
Catholic Newman club: Roger Williams foundation, Baptist youth group; Westminster foundation, Presbyterian youth group; Gamma Delta, Lutheran youth group; Liahona fellowship of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Christian Science organization; Presbyterian Women's organization. Presbyterian Men's organization and the Celtic Cross, Presbyterian group for future missionaries and ministers.
The coordinating body which brings the various student groups together for religious projects is the Student Religious council. This council sponsors Religious Emphasis week, vespers services on Tuesday and Thursday and Wednesday morning services at Danforth chapel.
The campus religious centers are Myers hall, Westminster house, home of the Presbyterian church foundation; Henley house, YWCA center; and Danforth chapel.
Westminster fellowship is now raising funds for a new center and Wesley foundation is also planning to build a student center.
Danforth was erected and dedicated on the KU campus by William H. Danforth. Student religious organizations hold religious services in the chapel and many KU couples have been married in the sanctuary.
Always start with cold water when making coffee. Cooking experts say that water drawn from the hot tap is almost certain to produce flat-tasting coffee.
Danforth chapel, which will accommodate approximately 100 persons, is to be used by students as a refuge for quiet meditation and worship. It is open to all faiths.
I. The School of Religion was founded in 1921.
Special religious work among students at KU was begun in 1901. Myers and Westminster halls were erected before the outbreak of World War
Use an empty waxed paper box to shape square refrigerator cookies by lining the box with waxed paper and pressing the dough firmly into it. When the chilled dough is sliced for baking you have neat, square-shaped cookies.

Senior's Last Homecoming Brings Twinge of Sadness
The senior, looking at this year's Homecoming preparations, feels a slight twinge of sadness at the thought of not being around for next year's Homecoming—as a student, anyhow.
For four years she has been "in the swim" fixing up for Homecoming each fall. The days of paint-splashing for house decorations; the busy hours of erecting cardboard figures; the long, tiring vigils with lantern light to keep rival houses from "mussing up" the decorations; the intense waiting (and hoping) for the judging committee to deliver their opinions; once or twice the thrill of winning a shining cup for "best in the class" decorations—all these things have added up to something she will not forget soon.
At the game (in the student section for the last time, probably), the senior puzzles over her own sadness. The rest of the cheering section is unusually gay, even though the day is cold and damp.
The Alma Mater and Rock Chalk chant are the same—they probably sound good in west stadium or over the air, but when you are in the midst of the student section and can hear only one small discordant segment, it doesn't sound very impressive, the senior thinks.
The freshmen in their red pep sweaters are looking younger each year, she thinks. The Kukus with the screaming siren, the sea of waving arms after a touchdown, the cheerleaders hopping around in time with the music make the game no different from any other game. They are all part of a familiar Jayhawker football day.
The official in black and white are tossing a coin down on the field, and one of the two captains "calls it." Getting ready for the kickoff now . . . with the usual laughs and jeers at the referee who has to stop and chase the ubiquitous doggie off the field.
The game? A good one to watch, but the saddened senior can't seem to enjoy it.
Afterwards there is a tea at her house for alums. There's a crowd
there—some familiar faces—all chattering at once: “Remember when . . .” “Gosh, I’ll never forget the day that that.”
The senior pauses again to reflect—and to wonder at her "empty feeling." That's it! It's more than decoration flurries, more than greeting old alums, more than all the color and dash and bright mum corsages at the game, more even than the Big Game itself—Homecoming feeling is something inexplainable.
Next year she'll be an onlooker. It'll be sort of sad not to be "in on everything," but it may be even more fun just to watch and wait for weeks for the Big Day to come. It'll be fun to be an alum, and feel that you are special at KU—because one whole elaborate day has been set aside to honor you.
Choose Wall Color By Use of Rooms
Now that mid-semmesters are over, many will be switching rooms in their organized houses—and somehow, moving and redecoration seem to go hand in hand.
Here are a few decorating techniques for the ambitious to follow.
Here are guides for the amateur decorator:
Shades between blue and green— such as turquoise and aqua—seem bluer by day and much greener under artificial light.
One Chicago decorator advises selection of wall colors to be guided by whether the rooms will be used mostly in day time or at night. Certain colors appear to change in the two lights. Daylight adds a blue effect to wall colors, while ordinary light bulb rays sometimes bring out the yellow tones.
Mauve, lilac, and violet will be much weaker and more drab-looking under electric lights. They even tend to become brownish.
Colors in the pink, red, and terra cotta family seem stronger and more orange when illuminated by artificial lighting.
