'Turnabout' Is Fair Play to Student

By AL TRALDI
Many University students would like to see tall 23-year-old Robert M. Rose, photographer, behind a frame with indication of his height, with a number on his chest and an abstract expression on his face, and take his photograph.
In his Photographic bureau, Rose processed five copies for each student, a total of 30,000 pictures in a couple of weeks.

This would be only fair, since Rose and his helpers have done the same to all the students.
The picture taking method is only too well known. Students wait in a silent queue at the end of the enrollment line. Against the wall is a double frame—records show it as the only double-picture system in American universities.

Students try to look natural but they show the dullest faces of their repertoire.
Two students take their places between wall and frame, like ridiculous passengers in a two-seater vehicle.
"Try to keep your eyes open and your mouths shut," replies the photographer. "Just . . . look like you are."
"What . . . what are we supposed to do?" asks freshman 2639.
Rose says that most University men and women hate to have their pictures taken. Perhaps each has
Durkin Not Angry At Taft Criticism
New York —(U.P.)—Secretary of Labor-designate Martin P. Durkin had only kind words for his sharpest critic, Sen. Robert A. Taft, today as he came to pay his first visit to President-elect Eisenhower's headquarters.
Mr. Durkin was expected to make his call at the Commodore hotel shortly after arriving from Chicago, where he has been handling a business matter for the AFL Plumbers union which he heads.
Sen. Taft, in his first attack on Eisenhower cabinet appointments, had described the general's selection of Mr. Durkin, a Democrat who had supported Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson for president, as "incredible."
But Mr. Durkin declined yesterday to discuss Sen. Taft's criticism.
day to discuss Sen. Taft's criticism.
"Senator Taft's remarks about my appointment were not a personal attack on me," Mr. Durkin said.
Sen. Taft, whose own recommendations for the labor post had been ignored, made it clear at the time he criticized the Durkin appointment that he was not attacking the Chicago labor leader's character.
The Ohio Senator, who had failed three times to win the Republican presidential nomination but joined the Eisenhower forces following the GOP convention in Chicago last July, remarked that Mr. Durkin had advocated outright repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law.
Mr. Durkin said yesterday, however, he has "no intention of trying to scuttle" the law which Sen. Taft co-authored.

Photographers cannot capture any expression better than our usual one, they just need a good straight-forward picture. To get the best photograph, a person should simply stand in front of the camera and remain unaware that an eternal image is going to be created.
Look at the lens as you would look at your shoe. Smile only if you feel like it.
Kose says that boys are getting to be more particular than girls, more boys want to primp before the picture is taken. On the contrary, bobby soxers and existentialists pull their hair over their eyes or put it into their mouths.
This didn't happen for the 30 candidates of the Homecoming Queen contest, whose pictures were also taken by the bureau. From a photographer's view, semi-finalist

Housing Director Voices Plea For Student Apartments
A housing shortage at the University today prompted Mrs. Bert Nash, director of the University housing office, to appeal for information on apartments which will be available by the spring semester. The shortage of furnished and un- $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
The shortage or furnished apartments is the most acute in five years according to Mrs. Nash. She lists only six furnished apartments and four unfurnished apartments in Lawrence. Only one of the six furnished apartments is open to families with children, and that apartment rents for $85 a month, a rate which most student families are unable to pay.
The cheapest of the unfurnished apartments is $60 a month plus utilities. Mrs. Nash explained that student families usually are not able to pay over $45 a month for an unfurnished apartment.
A few out-of-town apartments, both furnished and unfurnished, were included on Mrs. Nash's list of available housing. Few students can afford cars, the housing director said, therefore apartments must be within walking distance of the campus or near a city bus line.
The demand for apartments will increase with students who are being married at Christmas and will
be looking for a place to live, Mrs. Nash said.
Inquires have been made by newlyweds and by graduate students who will be coming to the University for the first time for the spring semester. "If I don't have any housing to offer them, the University may lose some prospective students." Mrs. Nash said.
"I believe that there are several apartments in Lawrence which could be made available to students, but landlords have neglected to list them with me," the housing director said. She asked that listings be made immediately to help with the demand for second semester housing.
