Home Ec. Majors Must Teach Way To Better Homes
Home economists have the job of teaching the world how to make better homes, Kansas Home Economics association delegates were told this weekend.
Seventy students from Kansas universities and colleges joined the 139 K.H.E.A. delegates for the general sessions, but the groups met separately for business and luncheon meetings. "Today's challenge for the home economist," was the theme of the convention, held on the campus.
Dr. Margaret Justin, dean of home economics, Kansas State college, Manhattan, told the students' diarist "Home economists must teach housewives that cooking and sewing are not enough in the home. Homemakers are also responsible for the health, happiness and satisfactory human relationships of their families."
Child's Early Years Important
"A child's early years in the home are all-important to his mental balance," Dr. Ralph W. Coltharp of the Menninger Foundation School of Psychiatry, Topeka, said at a general session. "Home economists must show the mothers of America that every individual in the home should feel that he has a purpose."
Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of education, speaking on creative Arts for Enriched Living," said, "Housewives must realize that home-making is an art of the highest kind. The task of home economists is to teach them this fact."
Egyptian women are being emancipated through home economics training” Virginia Baroutjean, an Egyptian student attending Sterling college, Sterling, told the students. “The task of home economics is to educate the enslaved women of the world, like those in Egypt, so they may free themselves.” Bill Ivate Associate Counselor
ill Is Alternate Counselor
Edna Hill, professor of home economics, was elected alternate counselor of K. H. E. A. during the business meeting.
Three teas were given March 19 by Haskell Institute, the University department of home economics, and the home economics club. Mrs. Paul B. Lawson and Mrs. George B. Smith poured for the department of home economics and Margaret Habein, dean of women, poured for the club.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech, spoke at the dinner March 19 on "Kansas Culture." Dr. Robert Foster, visiting professor of home economics and sociology, spoke at the general session March 19 on "Family Life in a Democracy."

Law students know too much law and too little human nature, Arthur J. Mellott, U. S. district judge from Kansas City, Mo., told the 170 persons who attended the annual Burdick Day law dinner Saturday.
Study People Lawyers Told
Judge Mellott explained that this thought is prevalent among legal educators today. He suggested that lawyers should serve an internship similar to the internship of young doctors. "The defect in knowledge of human nature which lawyers have could cure itself with experience." he said.
Guests included Walter A. Huxman, judge of the 10th circuit court of appeals, Walter G. Thiele, Hugo T. Wedell, and J. S. Parker, associate justices of the Kansas supreme court.
Nona E. Snyder, '29, a lawyer in Kansas City, Mo., spoke on the Burdick Memorial association. Edward Boddington, Jr., president of the third year law class, was toastmaster.
No Calls For 3 Months Draft Board Explains
By CHARLES R. ROTER
"Students who would be affected by the proposed selective service legislation now before congress can look forward to a three or four month reprieve," Ogden S. Jones, former chairman of the Douglas county draft board, said today.
"It would take about 60 days to get any system of selective service set up and at least three or four months to start sending draftees from this county." Mr. Jewell added.
this county." Mr. Jones added.
Students who live in Lawrence or Douglas county would be required to register here and they would be handled by one of the boards in this county. Students from elsewhere, if they so desired, could register and be handled through this board. They could also register here and have their cases transferred to a board of their own choosing, he explained.
Mr. Jones said that during the war many students preferred to have the Douglas county board handle their cases because this board had a better knowledge of the problems involved with the University. UIP Conducts Survey
U. P. Conducts Survey
A nationwide survey conducted by the United Press showed that enlistments in the army, navy, and marines took a sharp rise immediately following the speech by President Truman, but have leveled off.
Congressional approval of U.M.T. looked highly improbable today but the Republican leadership "left the door open for a possible revival of the draft."
Defense Secretary James Forrestal hinted to Congress what might be asked in a limited draft. Youths between 18 and 25 years of age would be affected with the exception of veterans. Such a classification would leave a pool of approximately three million youths. A period of "not more than two years" for the drafttees was expected.
Oklahoma Adjutant-General Roy Kenney said that a draft registration in that state could be underway within one to two weeks. No information has come from the Kansas officials.
R. O.T.C. Role Explained
The probable status of student now enrolled in R.O.T.C. with regard to the proposed selective service legislation was explained by Col. John Alfrey, head of the military science department.
Students in the advanced course of R.O.T.C. were exempt from the draft but students in the basic, or first two years, were not. Students who had completed the basic course were given a certificate making them eligible for officer candidate schools if they were drafted.
Colonel Alfrey said that it is probable that students now enrolled in R.O.T.C. would have the same status as they did in the selective service law of 1940.
Any person called into service under the proposed universal military training plan would be given a six-month basic training course. He then might go to college if he so desired. Some persons going from U.M.T. to college would have their expenses paid, in which case the student would be required to go on a minimum period of active duty. Colonel Alfrey added.
Four Pharmacists Make Straight A's
Four students in the School of Pharmacy had an "A" average at the end of the fall semester, Dean J. Allen Reese said today. They are Charles S. Shull, senior; John E. Purdy, junior; Everett G. Baker and Jamie L. Estlack, sophomores.
The fall semester honor roll listed three seniors, 10, juniors, eight sophomores, and two freshmen.
Seniors had a minimum grade point average of 2.4; juniors, 2.3; and sophomores, 2.2.
UNESCO Staff Drafts Rules
The temporary student U.N.E.S. C.O. Relations staff met March 20 to prepare a constitution for the University chapter. Frederick Cross, College freshman and chairman of the constitution and nominating committee, read the first draft of the constitution to the staff.
Frank Lawler, College junior and deputy director, and Virginia Jensen, senior and personnel director, gave reports on the state U.N.E.S. C.O. rally held at Kansas State college March 12 and 13. Tentative plans were made among colleges represented at the rally to form and operate summer camps for children in western Europe. Miss Jensen said.
Walter H. Crockett, graduate student, was appointed to the U.N.E.S.C.O. interim council by the representatives at the rally. Interim committee members will co-ordinate various activities among state college chapters of U.N.E.S.C.O.
Dr. E. L. Novotny, superintendent of Lawrence schools and chairman of the local temporary committee of U.N.E.S.C.O., and Miss Anna McCracken, chairman of the Douglas county delegation to the state constitutional committee, also attended the meeting. The Douglas county chapter is working with the campus group to further political, social, and economic understanding among nations through the U.N.E.S.C.O.
The next meeting of the group will be April 3, to discuss plans for a constitutional meeting.
Journal Runs Ad Service
The Kansas Government journal, a state magazine, will establish a want ad service for seniors who will be graduated this semester. Information can be obtained from Ethan P. Allen, director of the bureau of government research.
