Open House At KU Nursery School
Open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday will enable the public to visit the newly redecorated University nursery school at 1100 Missouri street.
The nursery school is operated mainly by the department of home economics as a laboratory for students in Child Development. Approximately 150 to 200 men and women students enrolled In Child Development courses and from other departments as well as the home economics department use the school for observation and practice in working with children.
Twenty-two children from two and one-half to four attend the nursery school in the morning. Eighteen four and five-year-olds attend in the afternoon.
A typical day consists of free play, a mid-time snack, rest and story period, and finishing with outdoor play.
The University has operated the school since 1943. It originally was started as a wartime day care project and operated with funds from the Lanham act. In 1945 KU took full responsibility for sponsoring the school.
The children are taught how to get along with others and to do as much for themselves as possible. They are urged to express their own ideas and to explore play materials. Nursery school teachers give special attention to little children.
The whole house was redecorated the past summer. The stair wall is papered in a "designed-for-children" paper.
Each piece of play equipment in the nursery is for the children's use. One little girl asked her mother to get a tom-tom from the shelf for her. The mother thought it was there for decoration but was informed by the

Whether or not a marriage will be successful depends largely on the individual's family environment, George Weber, graduate student in psychology, told a joint meeting of the YWCA and YMCA Thursday night.
I have. "A couple who is considering marriage should have similar interests and enjoy doing things together," he said.
"A person should judge his prospective mate by seeing how he or she reacts to a certain situation, how sociable the person is, what friends think of him or her and how adaptable he or she is to changing situations," Weber explained.
Speaker Gives Mating Advice
In his lecture, "Choosing a Mate," Weber stressed the important factors to consider in selecting a mate.
He said that the engagement period should last from six to eight months, but the time is not as important as the couple's experiencing various activities together.
It isn't always the youngest who go to the farthest. Miss Isabelle Duncanson, who was 56 when she received the B.S. degree, in institutional therapy from the University of Kansas last June, has far outdistanced her younger classmates, at least in miles.
Miss Duncanson, who came to KU from Jersey City, N.Y., is now an occupational therapist at the Mount Edgecumbe hospital near Sifaka, Alaska. The hospital is part of a time project that has been converted for civilian use in providing educational and medical facilities for Alaskans. It is operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Miss Duncanson took her clinical work in occupational therapy at the Mayo clinic and in Detroit, Chicago and Kalamazoo, Mich. She attended KU under the GI bill of rights, having served in the W.A.C. during the war.
Geologist Tour To Oklahoma
Henry V. Beck, instructor in geology, is in charge of the field trip. Students enrolled in Geology 41 take such field trips each semester. The group will return to Lawrence Sunday evening.
Thirty-five students enrolled in Geology 41 left Thursday for Southern Oklahoma to study the structure of the Arbuckle mountains in that region.

Graduate Student To Film Thesis For Master's Degree
A complex array of photographic equipment instead of the usual 'library research' will be used by Mrs. Nancy Wolf, graduate student, in preparing her thesis for a master of arts degree in the field.

Mrs.olf's thesis will be in the form of a 16-millimeter color, sound motion picture.
"The film will be an experiment in the transference of thought patterns into abstract paintings," Mrs. Wolf said.
The film is a fantasy and features a small boy with a radio tuning in the activities of creatures from out of this world, according to Mrs. Wolf. The activities of these creatures, to be shown in animation on the screen, form the movie's theme.
