HOME EC SENJORS KEEP HOUSE—Ardra Stanley, Jill Ogilvy, and Joan Kohman, college seniors, put their home ec theories into practice in the "model" home management house. Six girls live at the green and white bungalow combining fun and work in their six week stay.
Home Ec Dream House Shows Gracious Living
If you wander down the steps between Watkins hospital and Blake hall, and follow the stone flagging walk to the left; you'll discover a little green and white bungalow, the home management "dream house."
The house was built and furnished by the home economics department in 1928 in order to give seniors in the department an opportunity to put classroom theories into practice.
As the laboratory part of the home management course, each senior lives in the house for a period of six weeks. Five or six girls live in the house at a time, trying together to make their stay a combination of fun and work, while living and learning cooperatively.
The work, supervised by Miss Muriel Johnson, is divided into six parts—hostess, cook, downstairs cleaner, waitress and cook's assistant, manager, laundry, utility and yard girl, and upstairs cleaner. The girls—alternating jobs to get the experience and break the monotony—have each set of duties twice during the six-week period.
It isn't all work though! During their stay each group entertains with a formal dinner, buffet supper and tea. The girls also have several smaller social affairs, entertaining faculty members, house
YW, Jay Janes To Sell Mums
The selling of mums, a colorful tradition, will return to the campus Saturday adding fall beauty to Homecoming activities.
Members of the Jay Janes, women's pep organization, and of the YWCA are completing plans to repeat an annual project, selling mums for the Homecoming game.
the project is divided into two sections, Esther Brown, co-chairman of the Jay Jane mum committee said, to assure better campus coverage. YWCA members take orders for and sell mums in organized houses while Jay James sell flowers before and at the Homecoming game.
Members of the YWCA house of representatives, representing nearly every organized house on the campus, contact members of their own living groups and also men's houses. Orders are taken for flowers which are delivered the morning of the Homecoming game.
The entire membership of the Jay Janes turns out to sell mums to football game spectators. Jay Janes will be stationed at the information booth, the Union, and the Eldridge hotel from 10 a.m. to game time. Other girls will go on duty at 11 a.m. at gates and doorways leading into the stadium.
Mums will be sold for $1.25 and will be available in assorted colors.
Chairmen of the mum commitee for the YWCA is Elva Sutton, college sophomore. Jay Jane committee chairmen are Esther Brown, college sophomore, and Diane Miller; college sophomore.
mothers and friends. This fall after one of the home football games, the girls entertained with a hamburger fry in their new patio-picnic area.
Best of all is the spontaneous fun the girls have listening to records and playing bridge in their own living room or having a midnight "feed" in the kitchen.
The little bungalow, remodeled four years ago, is the last word in modern convenience and comfortable living. It has a dining room, living room, kitchen, utility room, three bathrooms, four bedrooms, and a small study.
Each group tries to leave the house "better than they found it" with some improvement. Projects vary with some of the girls doing painting or re-upholstery work. The last group, deciding their "library" (bookshelves on either side of the living room fireplace) needed additions, made a list of new books that they hope will be added later.
Each group keeps the pictures, invitations and menus from their projects and parties in the house scrapbook — thus adding their "chapter" to the home management history.
This six weeks it's a real family affair in the "model" home. Two of the six girls in the group are married and arrangements were made for the men to eat at the house and for their wives to go home in the evening.
Elizabeth Cheney, Joan Kohman,
Jill Ogilvy, Ardra Stanley,
and Marilyn Ringler, college seniors,
and Georgia Flynn, college junior,
are the cooks for the two lucky husbands, Elliott Cheney and James Kohman.
The girls learn how to use and appreciate the equipment, and in operating it also evaluate and see its disadvantages. So, the struggling young husband won't necessarily have to provide his home economics graduate with a complete set of the latest in luxury equipment, but his wife will know how to use it when they do build their dream house.
This house, one of 120 home management houses in the nation, is especially well equipped with an array of conveniences that would be the envy of any housewife. "Ideal" equipment includes a presto cooker, electric mixer, freezer, deep well cooker and time controlled oven, washer, drier and mangle.
Also of interest to the home ec major's husband will be the ability of his spouse (college trained) to prepare balanced meals for 92 cents per person, per day.
And not only will his home be run smoothly and economically, but it will have standards for gracious living, hospitality and tasteful decoration.

Fortunately already are the origin
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, recalls "a big smoker with a program of some kind used to be held the night before the big game, and we always had some kind of peep rally."
Forgotten already are the orig and date of the first celebration. Oldtimers 1912 Bute & Somers Coop '13 Alfred "Scoop" Hill of Arkansas City invited alumni to return for the outstanding game of the year.
But World War I halted the newly-founded tradition. Not until 1919 did Homecoming return, revived by H. B. Hungerford. Former athletes, as well as alumni, were asked to the Thanksgiving game at old McCook field. Even then complaints concerning student body spirit were frequent. To instill school spirit the KuKu's were organized and a character called Doc Yak, invented.
Also at that time gymnastium exhibitions were featured.
Army and Navy units held torchlight parades to maintain the Homecoming tradition during World War II. In those years Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, designated medicine man supreme, peddled candy red hots guaranteed to instill magic pep powers.
Homecoming history was made again last year as students gave time and money, ordinarily used for decorations, to flood-stricken North Lawrence.

See Yourself as Others See You; Let a Mirror Give the Facts
Never pass up a chance to see yourself as others see you. It's easy to think you're at your best, but a looking glass tells you the facts.
If you don't own a full-length mirror or have access to one, take advantage of the free service every time you pass one in a public place —or go by a big store window. Don't stop and pose. It's the quick motion picture of yourself that really pulls you up. Head high, chest lifted, back flat, abdomen in, tail tucked under—if not, you know what to do about it—quick like a bunny.
The hairdresser offers you a hand mirror so that you can get a double take of your hairdo and admire the good job he's done. Do use this two mirror technique when you fix your own hair, so you'll be sure you look right both going and coming. And incidentally it's the only way to be sure your makeup is blended properly at the sides of your face.
To do a really professional job
when you put on your lipstick, you need several things—a good light, a steady hand, a relaxed mouth, dry surface of lips and surrounding area, blotting tissues, and a lipstick brush. And of course, a lipstick that is right for you in color and texture. If you wear eyeglasses for close work put them on. And you will find a small magnifying mirror a big help in making neat edges, spreading color evenly, and getting full coverage.
Pretty Face Shows Skillful Makeup Job
A pretty face is no kind of definite insurance, unless you apply your makeup with a skillful and subtle hand. Use a light, clear lipstick, a foundation that blends with your skin tones, and a dusting of powder. Be sure there are no streaks and no smudges.
