Monchonsia Hall Named For Indian and Old Silverware
Silverware and an Indian chief were the deciding factors in naming Monchonsia hall when the Endowment association purchased it for use as a women's residence hall in 1947.
Silverware which once belonged to Miller hall and engraved with the initials MH was given to the newly purchased hall at 1014 Mississippi street. Since it was a necessity to have the name of the hall start with an M to fit the silverware, Deane W. Malott, who was then chancellor, suggested that the name Monchonsia be used.
Monchonsia, according to early Kansas history, was chief of the Kanza tribe of Indians who roamed the northeastern lands of Kansas before white men set foot on the soil.
The house, which now accommodates 28 girls, once belonged to Prof. D.H. Spenser, a member of the KU faculty for a number of years. It had been built with the intention of providing rooms for students, so when it was purchased by the University four years ago it did not have to be altered much.
After its purchase the house was completely redecorated and ready for use the following fall. At first it accommodated 32 girls, but a downstairs room was later converted into a lounging room so now 28 girls live in the house.
In keeping with its Indian name Monchonsia hall holds a traditional "Indian Summer" party every fall.

In the fourteenth century, the bubonic pleague, or black death as it is more commonly referred to by medical historians, came closer to exterminating the human race than any other source. More than 60,000,-000 persons are believed to have died of the disease.
A feature of the Marshall plan train, now touring Germany and attracting 10,000 visitors daily, is a telephone question game where visitors dial questions about the value of the Marshall plan to Germany and listen to recorded answers.
Laundry Wax Gives Crinoline Crisp Look
With crinoline the foundation for many winter costumes, lucky is the girl who gets a crinoline petticoat in her Christmas stocking. They give a charmingly feminine appearance.
The problem confronting many girls has been to keep these petticoats looking crisp and new. Here is a way to do a really professional job.
To keep crinoline sparkling white, use bluing in the wash water. Put the little bluing beads into hot water, add the skirt and wash. Rinse as usual.
The stiffer the better for that smart perkiness of your crinoline. A quarter-of a cake of pale blue laundry wax will help cut ironing time in half, and the glossy finish will make your petticoat soil resistant. Starch can be saved for another washer day, if it is kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or a cool, dry place.
