1949 THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 1949 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE Freshman Women Engineers Compete In Man's World Two freshmen are attempting to prove that women can compete with men in any field. The only coeds among 213 freshmen men in the School of Engineering and Architecture, Catherine Hollowey and Ruth Irwin, do not even have similar class schedules. Miss Holloway is studying architecture and Miss Irwin, electrical engineering. Miss Holloway, 17, Belton Mo., has been encouraged in developing her architectural interests by her mother, who is a designer. The daughter's artistic talent has been coupled with an enjoyment for mathematics and subjects closely associated with engineering. Desiring to enter "a field which presents a real challenge." Miss Holloway is not awed by the prospect of competing in a men's field. She believes that women can and should qualify in such specialized studies. Although the attitudes of her male fellow students could be a hindrance, the vivacious brunette believes all of them are "good natured." Miss Irwin, 18, Mound City, could probably credit her interest in electricity to environment. Her father owns an electrical, plumbing and heating supply store. She hopes to enter the field of illumination, which would involve the planning of lighting layouts. She, too, wishes there were more women in her classes, but the small blonde is not frightened by her place in the minority. These two women, both high school honor students, represent part of a trend, according to T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture. They are not the first women to enter the school, and Dean Carr believes "many coeds unable to decide upon a career would be wise to consider engineering." 50 Men Attend YMCA Fun Fest Fifty students attended the Y. M.C.A. Funfest in the Union building recreation room Tuesday night. Schelto Van Heemstra, visiting student from the Netherlands, explained Europe's organization of the Christian movement. The talk was the last of a series for Heemstra, who is to leave for New York today. The showing of a film "Christian Student Life in America," was narrated by Dave Riggs, executive secretary of the group. Mr. Riggs and Robert Davis, president, introduced the cabinet after explaining the ideals of Y.M.C.A. Biff Rose played accordion arrangements of "Twilight Time" and "Whispering." Sigma Gamma Epsilon Elects Delegate Chester Spencer, graduate engineering student, was elected delegate to the 15th National Biennial convention by members of the Alpha chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon Tuesday. The 3-day convention will be held in Denver from Thursday, Oct. 20 through Saturday, Oct. 22. Highlights of the convention will include field trips to the Colorado School of Mines, Climax, Leadville, and a gold-dredging operation at Fairplay, Colo. Spencer is vice-president of Alpha chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary professional fraternity for students majoring in earth science. He was also awarded the first W. A. Tarr award of that fraternity in June, 1949. The society presents a scroll annually to the outstanding student in earth science at each school where it maintains a chapter.
