Nancy Smith, Advertising Major, Figures Prominently Into Campus Activities
That figure you see in the kelly green plaid coat frequently bustling in and out of the journalism "shack" is probably a certain active junior, Nancy Deane Smith, who is majoring in advertising in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
Earnest in her desire for an advertising career, Nancy plans to work in the Northwest.
Earnest in her desire for an a master's degree at Northwestern university after her graduation from K.U. She would like a position with an advertising agency or a woman's magazine.
Nancy's gregarious nature has motivated her active membership in the Y.W.C.A. for the past two years. She now holds the office of secretary in that organization. Among the other honors she claims are the vice-presidency of the A.W.S. senate; and membership in the Jay Janes, Theta Sigma Phi, and Gamma Alpha Chi.
Alpha Chi.
Perhaps Nancy's love of people is the key to her talent for conversation. She has a sincere personality with a touch of English humor. Her Corbin hall friends say she
possesses two titles—aside from the presidency she held last summer—that of owning the loudest alarm clock, and that of carrying on the longest telephone conversations in the dormitory.
Not without hobbies for spare minutes, Nancy is an enthusiastic bridge player. She enjoys various other activities—from knitting to ice skating.
Nancy's journalistic experience provided her with the knowledge that she could escape quotation when she was asked about the men in her life. She merely stated: "Boys are off the record."
Now You Can Hang Up Your Ash Tray
New York—(U.P.)—A hostess who reaches up and lifts down a picture from the wall when she needs a spare ashtray is bound to get a few startled looks.
Yet one New York gift shop is selling hand-painted tile squares with deep frames of copper to use either as pictures or ashtrays. The original paintings are covered with a heavy thing from flower paintings to al coat of burn-proof shellac.
"Tiles are coming into their own in home decoration," said Yvette Klein, one of the partners in the gift shop. "We're having them made up to use in every room of the house."
Gayly painted tiles are one of the reasons tile production has tripled in the last three years. For as little as five dollars you can buy an original hand-painted tile. With a felt backing, the squares make wonderful hot plate holders. But the same square can be hung on the wall as a picture by adding a hook to the felt back.
left back.
One shop mounts 12 tile squares in a black frame to use as the top for a cocktail table. The tiles can have a similar design or individual patterns.
These new versions of an ancient material have little to recall the plain white squares used in the kitchen and bath. American artists have decorated them with everything from flower paintings to abstract designs.
They are set into a leather lamp base or into copper bookends. One shop mounts three tiles and frames them to make one rectangular picture.
For those who don't care about possessing an original painting on their tiles, designs are put on with a silk screening process to sell for as little as one dollar.
It has taken a few thousand years to turn ceramic tiles, used by ancient Egyptian kings, into imaginative and versatile home decorations. But they've finally done it. Ashtrays and hot plate holders that double as pictures would surprise even the Egyptians.
It Can Happen In Kansas

the elderly man a 10-day suspended
