DIDN'T CHOOSE FREEDOM . . A Czech private and staff sergeant who were among the passengers aboard the "freedom train," which crashed the Iron Curtain into West Germany are shown with U.S. M.P.'s and border guards shortly before they were turned over to Czech authorities. Before they were returned to their homeland, the private was found with his nose glued to a show window looking at the first bananas he had
seen in six years.
19 Weaving Looms Bought For Large Class Enrollment
Miss Evelyn DeGraw assistant professor of design, attributed the increase to "a greater interest in the craft." Many students take the course as an elective but it is a required subject for occupational therapy and interior design students.
A record enrollment in weaving classes this semester resulted in the recent purchase of 19 new looms, bringing the total number of looms to 49.
The weaving room is 328 Strong hall. In it such articles as scarfs, stoles, place mats, and window shades are designed and woven.
Students may also weave yards of cloth suitable for coats, suits, upholstery, or draperies, depending on the type of materials used.
State Activities To Form Groups
By WILLIAM E. STANFILL
The purpose of Statewide Activities is to publicize the University's presence on the high schools, and to influence students planning to attend college.
Assemblies were sponsored by other county groups at their respective high schools. Short skits on University activities, speeches, and programs were given by the students.
The program is planned and carried out by groups of KU students from the state's 105 counties. Each county has its own officers and planning committees.
Last year county groups gained the attention of prospective students in several ways.
Bulletin boards, depicting life at the high school are sent to high schools in the state.
Other methods included parties for high school seniors, sending of the "Jayhawker" to high school libraries, and showing films of KU football and basketball games at high school assemblies.
The present Statewide Activities organization was established in 1943. The chairman of the organization is chosen each year by the traditions committee of the All Student Council, and the alumni secretary. This year's chairman is Neil McNeill, a business junior.
Activities of the organization are under the supervision of the Alumni office, 228 Strong hall.

Three-fourths of the time in making a project is spent in preparing the threads and threading the loom. This is the most difficult process in weaving Miss DeGraw said.

A student is required to make three projects a semester. A project is usually an undertaking such as weaving yardage for a suit, designing and weaving a rug, or making draperies.
Raffia, a strong fiber which resembles grass and comes from Mada-gascar, is one of the materials used in making smaller projects such as place mats. Nylon and glass are used for making novelty fabrics. Bamboo, in long, flat strips, make attractive window shades. Students use variety in color and weaving patterns to make their products attractive and useful.
Other officers are Chester Trent vice-president; and Vinson Derington, treasurer. F. R. Wake, assistant professor of psychology, is the faculty adviser.
Esther Storer, College junior, was elected president of Psychology club at a meeting Thursday evening.
Psychology Group Elects Officers
The club's goal is to learn more about applied psychology. Subjects to be discussed at future meetings will include: psychological warfare, psychological aspects of juvenile delinquency, industrial psychology, and study of Indian culture and its psychological effects.
92 Scholarship Students Keep House In Robinson Annex And Sunnyside
Fifty-two men and 40 women scholarship students have set up housekeeping this semester in Robinson gymnasium annex and Unit 3 of Sunnyside, respectively.
They had planned to move into Stephenson and Sellards halls which are located near Battenfield hall. However, the buildings weren't completed in time for use this semester. Consequently, the University found temporary housing for the students elsewhere. Both groups hope to move into the new residences sometime near the end of this semester.
Unit three of Sunyside, which the women occupy, is a two-story structure divided into separate apartments. There are five groups of eight women, with one group in each apartment. Each apartment is equipped with a kitchen and bath, two bedrooms, and a study room. The bedrooms are worked on a small scale dormitory plan with five women in one room and three in the other.
Strict quiet hours have been enforced in the hall because the curtain partitions are not sound proof. This system provides the men with a chance to study undisturbed.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott loaned two oriental rugs to the men for use in the study and living rooms. The old velvet curtains from Hoch auditorium separate the living room from the study room which is in the center rear of the building. Curtains are also used to separate the sleeping quarters from the rest of the building.
Robinson annex has been divided with aid of curtains into sleeping quarters, living room, study room, and housmother's office. The sleeping quarters occupy the north and south ends of the building. The living room is in the center front facing the large double doors.
Freshmen Elect Red Pepper Heads
Kay Lewis, College freshman, was elected president of the Red Pepper pep club Thursday. Llewellyn Kiene, College freshman, was elected vicepresident.
The two women received the first and second largest number of votes out of five finalist candidates. Three members of the pep glub were allowed to speak in behalf of the candidate they favored before the final voting took place.
Elections for secretary, treasurer, social chairman, and song leader will be held at the next meeting. Thursday, Oct. 25.
No Words For Grandmother
Syracuse, N. Y.—U.(P.)-Maria Pendall, 7, was at a loss for words-German, that is—when her grandmother, Mrs. Leopoldine Landesmann, arrived here from Vienna, Austria, Maria, who has been in this country less than a year, learned English rapidly but forgot most of her native tongue. Her mother is a war bride.

Mrs. E. R. Hooper, housemother, occupies a separate apartment. The reception room for the dormitory is located in her apartment.
Mrs. H. P. Ramage, housemother at the men's hall, is living in the guest rooms at Jollife hall, but spends each afternoon at the temporary dormitory.
Each hall has a different system for meals. Some of the men eat at Jolliffe hall and the others eat at Battenford hall. The women in each apartment of Sellards hall cook their own meals. Mrs. Hooper eats her meals with a different group of girls each day. She also plans the meals for all the groups and buys the groceries.
Both halls are set up on a share-the-work plan. A student proctor has charge of making out the work schedules and seeing that everything runs smoothly. Darrell Rhudy, pharmacy senior, is proctor for Stephenson hall, and Orinne Gray, College soohomhore, is proctor for Sellards hall.

Both halls have been able to carry on social activities in spite of temporary conditions. The men have had several social functions at the temporary hall, such as hour dances with Miller, Watkins, and Sellards halls, and a joint party with Battenfeld ball.
Miller and Watkins halls have offered their facilities to the women at Sellards hall for their social functions.
