COED'S CORNER
No Ice-Cold Katie' Is Briar's Ball Of Fire, Kate Hanauer
"Katie" Hanauer is the small ball of fire of Briar Manor.
A freshman from New York, she bubbles over with pep and ambition and glories in activities.
A social chairman of her hall, her activities include Modern choir, French club, the Rhadamanthi Poetry club, United Women's council, and play production.
Katie says she's homesick for Broadway and the theatre, but thinks actually being in play production at K. U. has partly made up for the loss.
Does Play-acting
She had parts in "Beggar on Horseback," was in the paycock," and was a stage-crew elf in "Midsummer Night's Dream," and recently did prompting and costume work for "Double Door."
"In 'Midsummer Night's Dream,' we elves had to laugh at our appearance backstage. New slanting eyebrows had been painted on for the part, and backstage we could see both pairs," she said.
With her enthusiasm, Katie says she's enjoyed every bit of play production, even to pressing the mid-Victorian costumes four or five hours for "Double Door."
She is small, resolute, and cute. Her black hair has bangs in front and is shoulder length in back. Beeneach black brows, her eyes appear green with gold flecks if seen closely. To Study At Sorbonne
Before she begins her proposed work with speech correction as it lies in with elementary school education in Kashmir to study at the Sorbone in Paris.
She has always been much interested in France and thinks the best feature of a visit there would be a broadening of her outlook.
line conversational French (in addition to German and Spanish) which she is taking at present are intended for use when she attends the Sorbonne.
"I'll go if I have to stow away," she said firmly.
Katie believes her interests in the world at large stem from babyhood.
"It all started when I was nine months old and took a trip with my parents to France, Germany, and England. In London, all the taxi-cabs go 'honk, honk!' My first words were spoken when I stood up in the backseat of a London taxi and said, 'honk, honk!' "
Just Call Me Katie
Her reactions to Kansas are highly favorable.
"I came to get away from the Eastern seaboard and see how Wes-

tendants, Miss Wilson and Miss Fretwell, received corsages of white carnations.
tern people live," Katie explained,
"Being here has convinced me that
people are people—and I like 'em
anywhere."
Kate is Katie in Kansas.
"For the first time in my life, everyone is calling me Katie, and surprisingly enough. I like it."
"The twang and expressions bothered me at first. I was surprised to hear people say 'want in', 'want out,' and 'want over.' At home we never used want with a preposition like that! We'd just say, 'May I get through?'
Kansas Directions Confuse
"Directions still bother me. At home, we always give directions by telling a person to go right or left. Here everything is east, west, north, or south. It's confusing to a New Yorker."
It was time for Katie to attend a meeting: she waved her hand briskly, and hustled from the room.
Another Briar Manor coed who was sitting nearby, shook her head. "I can't quite figure Katie out. She eats up being in everything which is going on—I don't think I've ever seen her study, but when her report card appears, it has straight A's on it!"
