Here are a few hints to make life easier and smoother the rest of this semester.
Several Hints For More Poise
Hands can be a dead giveaway. Chewed fingernails on hands that can't stay still, show an alarming lack of poise. Chipped polish on rough red hands tips off the observer that you are poor on detail—hardly the way to inspire confidence in your abilities.
Train your hands to give you a good recommendation. Be sure they are clean, smooth, and well manicured.

A clean, shining and simple coifure can help raise your rating. Leave the intricate and glamorous hair-dos for those special occasions. Clothes don't necessarily make the woman, but a neat, immaculate outfit lets you look very efficient. Last but not least, and it goes without saying, you should be clean all over; freshly bathed, recently decorated, and spic and span.

November 20th.
In 1950 the electrical engineers offered a kissing trophy "in the interest of more and higher quality kisses" to the men's organization amassing the highest team score. $ \cdot $
Fraternity teams, pick-up teams, or single couples were eligible to enter, but every man had to provide himself with a partner.
It's new-
it's different...
The kissing contest was held on the second floor of the electrical engineering laboratory during the Engineering Exposition. The department's kiss-testing machine—The Nuclear Transmutational Osculometer—carefully recorded the kissing potential of contestants.
Kiss-Tester Designed By Electrical Engineers
The machine was built from parts of five old pinball machines, plus incidental bells, flags, relays, and wires. The contraption classified curious kissers into five categories—experts, lovers, neckers, buddies, and lousy.
It's a honey!
An "expert" rating entitled the lucky couple to a triumphant salute of banging and clanging, a brilliant display of flashing light bulbs, a two flag tribute, and a signed certificate designating the holder an "Omnipotent Osculatory Operant."

Designed by Maurice M. M. Mandelrhe, graduate electrical engineering student, the first model of the machine was assembled three years ago. Difficulties and short circuits set in to prevent it from being a success. A second edition was put together just before the Engineering Exposition in 1949. It didn't work either.
The 1950 model was completely rebuilt and it was proclaimed as a complete success. This model had made its debut at the Kansas City Electrical Progress show earlier in 1950.

touched the circuit closed, a small current flower between them, and the score mounted.
the score mounted.
The secret of a good score lay in the eagerness with which the partners entered into the embrace. A bashful peck netted the participants a derisive "lousy" on the sensitive machine. The harder the couple kissed, the more current flowed between them, and the higher their score became.
An apprehensive attitude toward the contraption boosted a couple's score. That is, if the anxiety caused the partners' hands to perspire. The perspiration served as an electrical conductor and upped the count.
Lipstick tended to lower the score by acting as an insulator. The greaser the lipstick, the better the insulation, and the lower the score.
McPherson, Williams Reveal Engagement
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin McPherson, Olathe, announce the engagement of their daughter, Patricia, to Clyde Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Williams, also to Olathe.
Miss McPherson is a college freshman and Mr. Williams is an engineering senior. Mr. Williams is a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity, and Acacia social fraternity.
