KU Klubs In Review
Is 'Bull Sessions' For The Coed And A Job For Each In KU's YW
By ANNE SNYDER
Every member has a job in the Young Women's Christian association at K.U. Helen "Pete" Maduros, president of the Y.W.C.A., says this is one of the distinguishing features of the "Y." The group is divided into commissions which deal with Christian faith and service. The "Y" lets you choose the commission in the field that appeals to you.
If you like to have "bull sessions" about world affairs or religion, your place would be in one of the cell groups. These groups study and discuss the topics their members choose.
Another group which studies and discusses religion is the Comparative Religion commission. Politics on a large scale are handled by the World Organization and Political Moralities commissions.
The Community Service commission is another busy group. Its members with the Y.M.C.A. give a Christmas party yearly for underprivileged grade school children in Lawrence.
If you are interested in campus problems, you may join the Campus Affairs commission. This commission visits such campus organizations as the All-Student council to analyze their functions.
Students interested in music, art, and drama join the Art Appreciation commission. This group has speakers on art, hears classical music, and sees plays together.
Human Relations commission members find welcomes for foreign students in Lawrence homes on Thanksgiving day. They are doing this again for Christmas. They will have with the Y.M.C.A. and the International club an international festival, at which foreign students will show their country's costumes and customs.
Over the Christmas holiday Jean Almon, Jane Baker, and Diana Sherwood, cabinet members, and Dorothy Reinhold, executive secretary, will go to Miami university at Oxford, Ohio, to a national assembly of students from world-wide "Y" groups. At this assembly, Y.W.C.A. aims and policies for the next four years will be decided.
On Dec. 1 and 2, the annual Christmas bazaar was held at Henley house. Handmade Christmas cards, wastebaskets with Jayhawker decals, and stuffed animals were some of the items sold.
A carolling party with the Y.M.-C.A. Dec. 14, and a combined Christmas worship service of the two "Ys" Dec. 18 are other Christmas activities of the organization.
Freshman women in the Y.W.C.A. have separate commissions. They work on such projects as making yarn afghans for Christmas gift packages.
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles to acquaint students with K.U. campus activities.
Japanese Resort Hotel is World Of 'Slip-Slop'
Most commissions meet at Henley house, 1236 Gread, the headquarters of the "YW." Here are the Y.W.C.A. office and recreation room.
Yugarwara, Japan—(U.P.) Once you doff your shoes and enter the sliding paneldom of a Japanese resort hotel, you are in the world of slip-slop.
Outside, Japanese wear wooden clogs on their feet. Inside they wear slippers. Outside they clip-slop. Inside they slip-slop.
In the hotel rooms, you spend most of your time on the floor. You sit or kneel on pillows on the "tatami," which is the closely-woven straw mat that covers the floor. To eat, you place the pillows around a foot-high table. Because of this
It's also a world of swishing robes of flower arrangements, of charcoal braziers. Each hot - springs - bath hotel has its own distinctive robes for its guests, so that when you're walking outside you can always tell when you meet someone from your own hotel.
You remove your Western clothing when you arrive, wrap yourself tightly in the inner and outer kimonos which comprise your robe and wear them constantly while you're there.
pr亲吻 to the floor.
you look outside are down low also, easily reached by propping yourself on an elbow.
The maid will bring you a "hibachi," literally a "fire receptacle" glowing with plenty of charcoal if you want to cook something yourself. If it's sukiyaki you're making, you put it in an iron pan on the hibachi and let it simmer.
The dish itself is not bad. It's made by cutting up beef, onions, mushrooms, cabbage and numerous Japanese green vegetables with inscrutable names. You make a sort of soup out of water, shoyu sauce, sugar, Japanese flavoring and sake (Japanese liquor), and pour it on.
The Japanese virtually ignore "U," in sukiyaki. When they pronounce it, it come out "skiyaki." If you can imagine a Cockney pronouncing "ski hockey," you've got it.
you put a raw egg in a dish, pour a match of cooked sukiyaki over it, mix the whole thing and then eat it,—with chopsticks, of course. Each pair of chopsticks is delivered in an individual paper wrapper with the
Another remarkable thing about Japanese resort hotels is the hotel towels. There aren't any. You're supposed to bring your own. Japanese use a tiny bath towel, and they use it if while it's wet. They use the same towel to wash with, then they wring it out and wipe off the excess moisture from their bodies.
The Japanese bed is a pallet affair right down on the tatami. It's called a "futon." There is a cotton-stuffed comforter sort of thing which goes on the floor. You lie on it. Two big comforters, called "kakibuton," go on top of you. They are stuffed with cotton, and each about two inches thick.
The pillow that goes with this ensemble is a torture instrument called a "makura." It resembles a sap log about 18 inches long and six inches in diameter. It is cloth, all right, but it stuffed tightly with buckwheat grains. It's a fendish device.
This covering is plenty warm, except for one thing. A futon is built to fit a Japanese chassis.
hotel name on it. The two sticks are partially split from a single block of wood; and you split them the rest of the way yourself so you know they haven't been used before.
On the roads around this resort town, as well as all over Japan, you're amazed at the number of charcoal burning automobiles. You see a normal looking car, and then on the back, where the luggage compartment should be, is a stove. The charcoal creates a gas that runs the automobile engine. The buses have virtual furnaces on the back--smoking like a faulty flue.
You bathe in such hot water that even a wet towel works okay.
Law Wives To Meet Today The Law Wives will meet at 8 p.m. today in the Law lounge.
