Date Dutch? Women Won't; Men's Views On Dating Vary
A survey of 10 students made by the University Daily Kansan on the dating situation shows that six women were opposed to Dutch dating and five men had varying opinions about dating.
dating, Marilyn Brown, College junior, was willing to make exceptions of Sunday dinner, while three said that it made a difference if they knew the men well. Patricia Kennedy, College sophomore, said she would make no allowances.
Three of the five men said that they felt that if a man liked a woman well enough to ask her for a date, he was obliged to stand the expense of the date.
"Our society just isn't set up that way," she said. "Once you get started it puts you on such an equal plane that you'll be lost."
Particular personal complaints about the opposite sex were varied. Earl O'Conner, third year law, said that "There is no individuality among women as to conversation conduct, or appearance."
Priscilla Barron, College sophomore, said that her greatest dislike was a man who greeted her at the phone with "Guess who this is?"
Marshall Swain, engineering freshman, remarked that "I think the study hall situation should be arranged so the girls don't have date nights all the same night."
Esther Williams, College junior, said that being taken for granted was her principle objection. "If I look nice, I like to have my date say so, not just assume that I realize he notices it."
Ernest Coombs, special student in Fine arts, commented that "Chances are getting a date depend too much on whether or not you have a car."
Marian Graham. College senior listed bragging as her chief complaint. She particularly dislikes the man who raves about the attractive women in his love life.
One woman, who refused to be identified, said her biggest complaint was that every man who spends 50c on his date thinks it entitles him to a good night kiss.
a good night kiss
Three opinions were offered on how to determine an evening's entertainment:
Robert Haberlein, College sophomore, said that topics of date conversation depend on the type of girl.
Jeanne Rose, education senior commented "I like a serious conversation over a cup of coffee in the afternoon, but in the evening, I prefer to keep it light."
Gerald Waugh, education junior, remarked that "When a man asks a woman for a date, the responsibility of the evening's entertainment is on his shoulders. He should, however, ask for an opinion from the woman about what she would like to do."
Truman's Waistline Is Betting Subject
Washington—(U.P.)—President Truman is up against a waistline dilemma. He is on a strict reducing diet and gift turkeys are arriving every day.
President Truman, on a bet, is trying to trim down from 180 to 175 pounds by Thanksgiving. Every time a turkey arrives at the White House, his will power suffers a jolt.
He has received eight Thanksgiving gobbler to date. By this time next week, his larder probably will boast several more.
The bet was made with Maj. Gen.
Harry Vaughan, the president's
military aide, and Brig. Gen. Wallace
Graham, White House physician.
Both are strapping fellows of around
220 pounds, but hope to scale 200
by thanksgiving.
The wager was said to have originated during a motor trip to Charlottesville, Va., Oct. 8, when President Truman complained that he "couldn't see around" his two aides because of their heft.
Each of the betters will pay $10 for every pound above their set goals. The one who makes his weight wins everything.
Before designing his dummy, Mortimer Snerd, Edgar Bergen studied phrenology and combined in Mortimer all physical marks of skillity.
Paul Lackie, 1940 graduate of of the School of Law, has announced he will be a candidate for state chairman of the Young Republicans in Kansas. The state meeting will be Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2 and 3 in Hutchinson.
Rose Will Be On Test Board
Kenneth E. Rose, associate profes-
sor of mining engineering, has been
appointed to the committee for the
physical sciences proficiency test of
the college entrance examination
board of Princeton, N.J.
The college entrance examination board prepared tests used in the competitive program of the Naval MC. It is by many universities and colleges.
Frank H. Bowles, director of the board, said this year the committee will critically review the tests being prepared by a testing service. In the future the committee will prepare one or more forms of the test.
Prof. Rose will attend the first meeting of the committee Dec. 9 and 10 in Princeton.
Other members of the committee are Stuart Brinkley, Yale university; Joseph W. Ellis, University of California; Haym Kruglak, University of Minnesota; and Richard M. Sutton, Haverford college.
Czechs Oust 11 Ministers
Prague — (L.R.) — Wallace Tronto, president of the Mormon mission to Czechoslovakia, said today 11 of his ministers have been ordered out of the country on grounds they were a threat to "peace, safety and security."
Mr. Tronto said the latest to leave was Leland A. Williams, of Tooele, Utah.
Mr. Williams and five others, who have appealed against the expulsion orders, apparently were victims of a 10-day drive against foreigners not specifically approved or discredited by some government agency.
Mr. Tronto said four Mormon ministers were expelled in May and one in July.
He said the mission had asked for some specific reason for the expulsions but no explanation had been made. Mr. Tronto, who heads a mission of ministers working in Rome and Moravia, came here in June.
He said all the Mormons ordered out of the country were refused renewed residence permits and soon afterward were told to leave. Government workers confirmed two days ago that unattached foreigners were being asked to leave the country if they did not have a job and a "positive" attitude toward the Communist regime.
Scores of free-lance journalists, part time workers, fellow-travelers, and other hangers-on have been affected, these workers said.
