Law Says To Give Landlady 30 Days
Students are required by law to give a 30-day notice to landlords before moving, Mrs. Ruth Nash, housing director, cautioned today.
She added that a 60 day notice is required by the inter-fraternity council if the student is pledging a fraternity.
Mrs. Nash said that students are not advised to move until the semester ends. She explained that the housing shortage has eased for single men, and that students who do move at the start of the semester make it difficult for landlords to get new roomers.
"When it was difficult for men to find rooms, home owners cooperated and provided places for those needing them. Although the shortage is less serious, we still wish to retain the cooperation of Lawrence citizens," she said. "Students can help by giving adequate notice of their intention to move."

American Male Next In Line Say Paris Fashion Designers
Paris—(UP)—Men, steel yourselves for a body blow.
Paris is plotting a "new look" for you, too.
The revolution is taking place very quietly, however. Plotters to change men's styles, which have remained virtually static since 1900, are working underground, unknown to the innocent man in the street, who still walks daily clad in his cotton or silk shirts, his vest, trousers and coat.
D-Day for the announcement of the "new look" for men is still a closely-guarded secret. Only here and there were there dangerous overtones that style priests were ruminating such a revolution.
Men Are Timid
Mme. Elsa Schiaparelli, veteran revolutionary in the fashion world, said this week;
"Unfortunately, there are two things which make a change in men's clothing difficult. They are afraid of wearing colors they like, and they are afraid of looking affeminate."
But she, too, is indicating subtly the revolution to come;
"The white summer uniform of a sailor is nice, don't you think? A tunic of this kind, in gabardine, well-cut and fitted, looks splendid, and would be a perfect answer to the complaint that men are too hot in summer."
Home of the coming revolution, however, is not in the Parisian "haute couture" houses, but in the little tailor shops in the old section of the city.
Tailor Spills Beans
Jean Van Acker, a well-known tailor, spilled the beans.
"The new look for men," he said,
"is as follows: No vest, matching
coats and pants, but with the pants
cut like ski trousers.
"Thin-soled shoes for men in winter are silly. 'The new look' to come will include heavy - soled shoes, much like our after-ski boots now, with pants cut in a 'V' shape narrowing at the ankies, with a strap under the foot. No. Seam.
No Summer Coats
"Jackets, I feel, will remain much the same, except in summer men will order thin, light gabardine or linen shirts, with tailored collars, to be worn with a tie, a pocket for the inevitable fountain pen and cigarettes, and cuffs. This idea is largely gaining popularity after the American soldier's summer uniforms."
Van Acker, who owns a little tailor shop in the business district of Paris, said the wrist-watch was largely responsible for the death of the vest.
"Young men aren't ordering them any more," he said. "They don't need the pockets, because they don't have any watch or chain. Waistcoats aren't warm enough, either. If a young man wants to keep warm, he wears a bullover under his coat—even in Paris."
Post-war expansion of plastics and metal working industries has brought increasing demand for cutting tools for plastics and soft metals.
Legal Group Will Initiate
Phi Alpha Delta, law fraternity will initiate new members Saturday in the supreme court chambers in Topeka. Their names will be announced after the ceremony.
Jay Kyle, of the state corporation commission and alumnus of the Topeka chapter, will be the presiding officer at a banquet to be held in the Walnut room of the Kansas hotel following the initiation.
Three chapters of Phi Alpha Delta; Benton chapter of Topeka, Bechson chapter of Kansas City, Mo., and Green chapter of Lawrence will take part in the initiation ceremony and banquet.
"Sludge in Blood" will be the topic of Dr. Melvin H. Knisely, associate professor of anatomy at the University of Chicago, when he speaks to freshmen medical students at 11 a.m. Saturday, in Haworth hall. Dr. Knisely has had non-technical explanations of his findings published in Time, Life, and other national magazines. He spoke here in 1946.
Medical Students To Hear Knisely
Dr. Knisely has made a special study of blood circulation for about 15 years, and was a pupil of Dr. Kroig, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Dr. Krog won a Nobel prize in 1925 for his medicinal achievements.
Poetry Readings Begin Tomorrow
The first in the series of informal readings' of poetry for the second semester will be held at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 110 Fraser.
W. D. Paden, associate professor of English, will read two narrative poems of the Romantic period: *Sorrow with the Midnight Keat* 'The Eve of Saint Armes.'
Other readings this semester will include a Greek drama prepared and directed by Prof. M. D. Clubb and the poetry of Shakespeare, Milton, and T. S. Eliot. William B. Bracke, instructor in English, is in charge of the program.

'Shack' Stinks From Test Tubes To Ink
There may be some hope for the smells of Bailey chemical laboratories. The odor may some day change to something pleasant like dead frogs, even printer's ink. Proof of the possibility is the case history of the Journalism building.
Chemistry was the first subject taught in the "shack" in 1883. Five years later, the pharmacy students $ \textcircled{4} $ moved into the building.
Dr. Ida H. Hyde made an animal room of the sky parlor when the School of Medicine took over the building in 1900. She brought along skeletons and a menagerie of laboratory experimental animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats.
When the department of Journalism moved in in 1923 they spent about five years removing the smell of rats from the top room. The odor successfully resisted scrubbing and fumigation and only yielded half-heartedly to time and fresh air.
No connection has been found between the recent practice of calling journalism students "shack rats" and the rat odor of the building in the past. Alumni who graduated more than 10 years ago are unfamiliar with the term as it is applied now.
The original laboratory space is now the news room of the University Daily Kansan. The sky parlor, which was a club room for Theta Sigma Phi, journalism sorority, is now being converted into offices for journalism faculty members.
Who knows? In 50 years, Bailey chemical laboratories may smell like printer's ink, and from the sky parlor of the "shack" may float the faint "aroma" of a sour soprano.
