ENJOYING A COKE at their frequent get-together on the sun porch of Watkins hall are Kenneth, Constance, Alfred, and Keith Moore. Even though they see each other on the campus every day, they try to plan a get-together once or twice each week.
A minor migration from Kansas City, Mo., to Lawrence ended in September, 1949, when the last member of the Moore family Kenneth, College freshman, enrolled at the University.
Four Members Of Family Are University Students
Alfred, Constance, Keith, and Kenneth Moore attended the same grade school, were graduated from Northeast Junior and Senior High schools in Kansas City, Mo. and are now attending the University.
Constance, College junior who is majoring in sociology, was graduated from Southwest Baptist college at Bolivar, Mo., and worked three years in Kansas City before coming to the University. Although Connie, 24, is working her way through school by doing stenographic work in the chancellor's office and managing house duties at Watkins hall, she still has had time to make the dean's honor roll.
Connie frequently invites one of her brothers over on Sunday to eat a home-cooked meal. Kenneth claims, "She's the best cook in the family." But Keith says, "It's not like Mom's." Each week "Mom" sends food for their Sunday evening meal, and the four gather at the boy's rooming house to eat meatloaf, roast, or chicken, and apples, oranges, and cookies.
Alfred, education senior, served in the navy, then entered the University in 1946 to study medicine. Preferring sports to medicine, he later changed his course to physical education. He is a member of Sasnak and the Archery club. Blondhaired, 22-year-old Al is doing practice teaching at Olathe and plans to graduate in June.
Keith and Kenneth, College sop-
homores, are 20-year-old fraternal twins,
but they don't bother with
identical dress. Although both have
blue eyes, Keith's hair is dark while
Kenneth's is blond.
Whenever Watkins hall has a party, Connie invites all three brothers. Occasionally the four spend two or three hours talking over a bowl of chili on Friday nights. Usually they visit home together on holidays, but never on weekends.
Keith, who is 6 feet, 4 inches tall, entered the University in September, 1948. Kenneth, two inches shorter than his twin, entered the University in September, 1949. Both served in the army.
Connie is particularly anxious for summer to arrive. "I'm going to get married in August or September to a pre-med student," she explained. "Next year we will attend the University of Missouri."
Nancy Lund, business junior, was installed as president of Phi Chi Theta, professional business sorority, Thursday evening.
Kenneth and Keith own cars which are in common use among the four. However, Kenneth says, "Keith is a little tight with his."
Keith wants to work in Alaska or South America during the summer, and Kenneth is trying to coax Al into going to California to work with him.
Other officers installed were; vicepresident, Betty J Bloomer; business junior; secretary, Betty Osenberger; business junior; treasurer, Joann Webster, business senior; reporter, Zara Ann Zoellner, business junior.

The Austrian students have been chosen because of their high scholarship, musical ability, personality, and character. They represent every field of study in Austrian universities.
The group was organized by Dr. Oskar Bock, lecturer at the University of Vienna with the hope of introducing Americans to Austria and permitting Austrian students to learn about life in America. It is a non-profit organization, and the students are interested only in making their expenses.
The students will arrive on Tuesday, April 18, and will visit classes of children in the district to a member of Associated Women students will make plans ahead of time

Two Fellowships Granted By AEC For KU Study
The atomic energy commission has awarded predoctoral research fellowships to two graduate students in chemistry for study at the University.
They are Richard M. Wallace, formerly of Lawrence, and Harry J. Christoffers, formerly of Seattle, Wash. Both have been teaching physical chemistry at other colleges the past two years. They will return to continue research projects already begun in the chemistry department.
The A.E.C. fellowships pay between $1,600 and $2,000 plus University fees for the calendar year, depending upon the fellow's family responsibilities.
Mr. Wallace has been teaching at East Tennessee State college. He has a master's degree from the University. Mr. Christoffers, who has a master's degree from the University of Washington, has taught at the University of North Dakota.
Mr. Christoffers will study under Dr. Paul W. Gilles, assistant professor of chemistry. He will study the stability of the various tungsten halides. Mr. Wallace will study under Dr. William J. Argersinger, associate professor of chemistry, on paraffin chain salt solutions. Both rates of surface equilibration in men will start their studies in June.
They will be the first graduate students to study at the University under the A.E.C.'s predoctoral program. The purpose of the grants is to enable students with unusual scientific ability to gain further graduate training and do research for the doctorate degree in one of the physical sciences. Research problems need only be sufficiently related to atomic energy to prepare the fellow for possible employment in some scientific capacity by the atomic energy commission.
