He's The Only Male In The Class— And He Plans On Academic Knowledge
One group of girls in the class have made up their minds for him. They have decided he should make a sports shirt for his project—George says he probably will.
Orchestra, directed by Russell L. Wiley: "Scheherazade Suite," by Rimsky-Korsakov.
George Kroesing, fine arts senior, says that females aren't the only ones to benefit from the value of the saying "a stitch in time saves nine."
WEATHER
George knows that there has been some discussion over his enrolling in the class. He says he doesn't mind and gets a big kick out of it.
George is the first male to enroll in the clothing course. He is a vetarian, and is majoring in interior decorating. His major is the principle reason for his enrollment in clothing. However, the University allowing George to fill a requirement with it.
George feels that the knowledge of fabric design and composition will be of great use in his interior decorating. When he orders drapes to be made up, he wants to know what instructions to give.
When asked how it felt to be the only male in his class, George answered, "There still is some tension in the class, but I enjoy being the boy only because I can give my opinions without criticism, and the girls have to accept it."
After attending classes George says he can give other reasons for taking the course. He thinks that everyone in the university should have a smattering of the kind of work done in the clothing courses. For instance, he says his choice in his own clothing has improved since he learned the styles complementary to his particular build.
the clothing course also influenced his decision.
Judgments which "we make about other people are one of the most important determinants of the type of world which we create for ourselves," Fritz Heider, professor of psychology, told Sigma Xi members Thursday night.
Heider Talks To Sigma Xi
Dr. Heider was introduced by Dr H.B. Latimer, president of the University chapter of Sigma Xi, national honorary society for scientific research.
Dr. Heider explained that persons make judgements as to the personality, character, and intellect of those with whom they associate on a basis of "expressive features" such as facial expressions, handwriting, and external actions. He gave examples of this "social perception" in terms of experiments in social psychology which he and others have conducted. As a means of illustration Dr. Heider used slides and motion picture.
The lecture was followed by a discussion period. Refreshments were served after the meeting.

Women should apply what they learn in college to their communities, Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, English instructor told the Associated Women's Student leadership workshop Thursday.
AWS Hears Mrs. Calderwood
Mrs. Calderwood told the Workshop that women ought to "find out trends in education and run for positions on schoolboards.
"I believe that some women will achieve important positions in life, but I believe that most women will find their leadership in their homes and communities," she said.
"Other places of leadership are in the libraries, the fine arts, in housing and sanitation, and helping children in families to use their talent," she said.
Although "women have a foot in the door in every area of the world." Mrs. Calderwood said there are certain handicaps to leadership
"A woman has to be twice as good as a man to even compete in business. Women have to fight their own sex as well as the men. Finally, women spoil their own chances through the loss of femininity," she said.

Flood Alert For Midwest
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 18—U.P. Residents over a wide area of the Midlands today were on the alert for floods, caused by unseasonal thawing of ice and snow throughout the middle and Southwest.
Alert warnings were issued Thursday night by the river forecaster at Kansas City and a meteorologist at Wichita, affecting northeastern and northern Missouri, southern and eastern Missouri and eastern and southern Nebraska
Ralph Aldrich said here that rapid thawing and continued high temperatures would cause near bankful stages with flooding in backwater areas from ice iams in small streams
The tremendous Missouri river jam will hold, however, Mr. Aldrich said, but the ice cover may rise and release shore water in lowlands.
The North Grand river was included in the alert. Mr. Aldrich said a break-up of ice was forecast from Gallatin, Mo., to Chillicothe, Mo., and south to Brunswick where the North Grand empties into the Missouri.
Victor Phillips, meteorologist at Wichita, said precaution should be taken against a sharp rising and some flooding of the Arkansas river, especially between Hutchinson and Wichita.
An attempt to disgorge an ice jam in the Arkansas Thursday, between Sterling and Nickerson, proved unsuccessful
