COED'S CORNER
Has 'Squirrels In Her Closet' But Still She's Phi Beta Kappa
It's unconstitutional, but Kansas does it.
For information on how Kansas breaks its own laws, see Frances James, graduate student in political science, who is writing her master's thesis on special legislation.
"I got my background material when I worked for the bureau of government research which put out pamphlets on departmental organization and acts as a kind of information $ ^{a} $
and acts as a kind of information bureau for towns," she said.
And when she told about it, it sounded interesting. She propped her feet against the radiator in her room and discussed legislatures, and bills, and constitutions with eager animation until the squirrels interrupted her.
Squirrels In Her Closet
The squirrels are in her closest! Because of the peculiar construction of Westminster hall, squirrel can chew holes in the roof and run through a net-work of closets under the eaves.
"They aren't especially spooky at night," she says, "but they see to it that I wake up early in the mornings."
Frances claims that she is hard to get acquainted with. If so, she must have some persistent friends, for she is a member of Mortar-board and a former vice-president of Y.-W.C.A.
Modest About Honors
That she is a Phi Beta Kappa must be mentioned tactfully, for Frances says it gives people the "false impression that I go around with my head in a book."
She has a dislike for conceit, and says it's all too common for students to boast about grades.
"Of course some people are smarter than others, but everyone can excel in a particular field. Political science has given me an opportunity to cover up what I don't know about other fields."
Has Five Hours To Go
Frances has five more hours and her thesis to complete before she receives her master's degree. She is vague about her plans after she gets her degree-adult education and Y.W.C.A. group work are possibilities.
