KU Closing Hours Bad? Take a Look at Haskell
By STAN HAMILTON
Girls at KU! You think you have it rough, what with early closing hours and such. You should have to live for a week in one of the women's dorms at Haskell Institute and you'd shout KU's praise to the high heavens.
To begin with, let's examine a copy of "The Haskell Handbook," which we found at the Indian school the other day. There is little difference in the no-smoking-in-rooms rule, as most women's houses at the University do not permit smoking in study or bed rooms (we are told). However, one stipulation Haskell makes is that all girls under 16 must have written permission from their parents saying they may indulge in tobacco.
But the real sticker for Haskell girls is that they are allowed on Saturday night functions. All girls must be in bed by the 9 p.m. bed check on that "best date night" here. The rule book states, "Girls may go to shows in Lawrence from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Friday nights and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays, but they may not be in the town any later than that."
Parents' consent is required before any Haskell girl can leave the campus with any visitor or before she enters any car belonging to someone other than a member of the school staff.
Quiet hours, too, are more than just a term. All girls must be in bed by 9 p.m. except for the bonus hours they are awarded Fridays, and no radios may be on before breakfast, during study periods (from 6 to 7 p.m.), or after bed check. Only between the hours of 5 and 6 p.m. are the girls permitted to go off the campus to the drug store across the highway from the campus.
And to top it all off, each student, girl or boy, must do 12 hours of work each week to help pay room and board.
In contrast, the poor browbeaten KU coed cannot stay out after 1 p.m. Saturday;s; 12:30 p. m. Fridays; 11 p. m. Wednesdays and Sundays, and must be in at the middle-of-the-afternoon hour of 10:30 other nights.
No home permission is needed for entrance into some fellow's car—gad, what would this place be like? Girls may puff away on cigarettes at any age—although we venture to guess few here would fall into the 16-year-old rule. And what would any "study" room or house on this campus be like without the ever-blaring radio?
There you have it, for what it's worth. Things could be a lot worse here, both you women and us men.
And girls—don't gripe too loud or long about those annoying overnight sign-out slips—the Haskell girls couldn't sign one if they wanted. The only time a Haskellite may go home is Christmas or in emergency cases.

Preparations for the statewide observance of the Kansas Territorial centennial in 1954 were explained recently by Prof. Robert Taft, professor of chemistry and chairman of the centennial committee.
100-Year Fete Plans Develop
A centennial office has been established in 402 Watson library, Prof. Taft said, for suggestions by students, Lawrence townspeople, and Kansas residents, Gov. Edward F. Arn will soon issue a proclamation designating 1954, as the Territorial centennial year, he said.
Twenty-three committee members met last week in Topeka with Gov. Arn and Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan). Sen. Carlson reported that President Eisenhower would come to Kansas during the year but the date has not been set. He also said that the U.S. Post office would probably issue a territorial commemorative stamp.
Dolph Simons of Lawrence and Rolla Clymer of El Dorado have been named to consider obtaining additional aid for the committee's work, J. N. Landreth, of Topeka, generals manager of the Santa Fe Field Company, who provide a coach to display historic Kansas documents, maps, books, and relics which will tour the state in the public interest.
Tentative plans include establishment of a speakers bureau for schools and organizations, issuance of a color pamphlet describing briefly the history of Kansas, and a listing of celebrations in the historic towns of the territorial period.

Supplying Clay to Ceramics Class Is Big Order, Says Professor
By SAM TEAFORD
It takes four tons of clay to supply ceramics classes through the year, and that is a big order, according to Shildon Carey, ceramics professor.
Getting the clay is not nearly as easy as it sounds, either. It's all because there is no place in Kansas to buy the prepared clay used in ceramics. All four tons of it has to be processed at the University.
Two kinds of clay, one from Miltonvale and the other from Ellsworth, are used. Brought to the University, the clay is processed by a clay crushing machine in Lindley hall. Equipment for the processing is supplied by the ceramics division of the State Geological survey.
Eight different articles are used in the preparation of clay to be used in ceramics classes. There's Milton-vale clay, Ellsworth clay, volcanic ash from Lincoln county, sand from the Kaw valley, iron oxide to add a reddish tinge, keystone feldspar, and spodumene. Then, after everything else, water is added to the mixture.
"Processing at the University actually needs one more step to produce the best clay for ceramics." We need a machine to remove air.
But even after the clay has been processed and shaped into 50 or 60-pound blocks, it's still a difficult job to move the clay up to the fourth floor of Strong hall, where it's to be used.
There's no elevator in Strong hall, so the janitors for the last few years have had to carry the clay up to the fourth floor. This year University maintenance workers have taken much of the load from the janitors by installing a rope and pulley system suspended from the roof.
"It all adds up to quite a little work before the clay is actually ready to be used in class," said Prof. Carey.
Not only is Prof. Carey a teacher of ceramics, but he does ceramic work himself. A stoneware bottle of his own is now on display at the
Smithsonian Institution and he has two stoneware vases with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit.
