KU Women's Billfolds Reveal More Than Money, Identification
By JOAN LAMBERT
A billfold technically is a container for money and identification, but a glance into several being carried around the campus by KU women puts this function in doubt.
A thorough investigation into their contents reveals some profound sidelights on a girl's personality. It is astounding to discover what some coeds consider precious enough to carry with them.
A new red leather job with a zipper on three sides was the first specimen in this investigation. Inside, the most prominent item on display was an ID card with a "i" punched in the identification picture. Opposite the card was a driver's license stating that the billfold's owner was 19 years old, five foot two, blue-eveed and weighing 110 pounds.
The coin pocket contained a silver dollar, 62 cents in change, one Topeka bus token and a key to the engineering library.
A plastic card file, a social security card, a Jayhawker card, a number one basketball schedule, a small picture of a young male and four pictures of girl friends.
Besides one lone dollar bill, the back pocket held five receipts for fees and room and board, a rebate slip from the Student Union bookstore, an adding machine tape, a deposit slip from the State Bank of Meriden dated Nov. 21, a shopping list of kleenex and shampoo and another ID card punched "2".
Another billfold of black leather fastened with a gold strap and beginning to show wear at the corners, revealed an even greater variety of essentials. Inside was a pasteboard back from a small note pad and a shopping list for film, picture frames, yarn, records and a plant.
A series of plastic pass holders held an Inter-Varsity calendar, a Kappa Phi membership card, an Engineering Exposition souvenir calendar for 1951, a receipt for spring fees, a Jayhawker card, a piece of paper for cleaning glasses and a

The bride wore an eggshell white knit two-piece dress. Her hat of saturn straw was orchid color and she carried a fan-shaped shower bouquet of stephanotis centered with an orchid.

It's The Little Things That Count
For those who think it best to know a little bit about a lot of things, here are a few collected odds and ends concerning the feminine world which might strike someone's fancy.
Bv DIANNE STONEBRAKER
With the spring semester still an infant there are undoubtedly many students who find themselves in a new room which they would like to decorate. Here is an inexpensive way to change the personality of an average collegiate room.
Make curtains out of burlap, choosing a bright color like yellow or a conservative shade like tan. Just put a hem in the material and hang it--it's as simple as that.
With the leftover material unravel the edges of a rectangular piece until it is deeply fringed, and you have a dresser scarf.
If you have a scrap or two, tack a square piece of material on four bamboo frames, and you have a bulletin board to match your room. a square piece of material onto four against bright material than they do against a standard brown bulletin board background.
a new room out of an old room in a new way, and end up with a room not only original, collegiate and attractive, but one which cost only a few dollars to redecorate.
If you have a lamp shade whose color doesn't blend in with your color scheme, buy a skin of heavy rug yarn in the shade you want and wind the yarn lengthwise around the shade.
This is one way in which to make
