COED'S CORNER
It Was A Long Pull To Become Daily Kansan Editor-In-Chief
Entering Lawrence on the bus, Alamanda Bollier pointed to the University of Kansas sign and remarked, "I still get a thrill when I see that." No wonder she worked for four years to see it.
Alamada, editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan, was graduated from high school at Horace, a railroad town whose claim to distinction is that the streamliner stops there for water. Instead of packing her bag for the trip down river, as the ink was
*on her diploma, she became a secretary and typed "Dear Sir" and "Yours sincerely" in a lawyer's office.
After she finally signed her name in the registrar's office she worked summers to keep her grip on the purse strings.
“My first summer I slung hash in Nevada and Utah for the Union Pacific railroad,” she related. “One week end I went to Los Vegas and won a nickel in a slot machine. That's about the extent of my risque life.”
Another summer she made rocket powder.
It was so explosive that after she had poured it on the rollers to bake, she would back out of the room. "I was too scared to turn my back on," she said.
Last summer she worked as a maid in a private home where she cooked, cleaned, and cared for the children.
After she entered school, the choice of a major was comparatively easy for her.
"I always wanted to write but
never had the courage, until I took the vocational guidance tests," she said. Her tests results must have provided the necessary encouragement for Alamada became a regular inhabitant of the "shack".
Alamada says, "I'm interested in seeing people assume more responsibility. Women get married and stagnant. I've a yen to sandwich political pep talks between recipes."
She was editorial associate of the Daily Kansan last semester and became editor in chief in February. She is secretary of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary journalism fraternity for women.
After June 17 Alamada can test her theories of housewife education, for the morning following commencement she is to be married to Russell H. Barrett, graduate student.
After months of grinding out editorials and battling student indifference, Alamada admits it might be nice to stuff her degree in the dresser drawer, throw out her editor-in-chief cards, and leave the task of education to her instructor husband.

She joined the faculty in 1890 and served as associate professor of Latin until her retirement in 1931. She was an organizer of the I. C. Sorosia, the first sorority of the University. It was established April 1, 1873, but after 1886 it was known as Pi Beta Phi.

A Buenos Aires resident has written the University to ask if it offers business and industrial management courses by correspondence. It does. However, the ambitious Argentinian specified they must be in Spanish as his English is inadequate.
K.U. Bureau Regrets— 'No Habla Espanol'
Miss Ruth Kenney, bureau of correspondence director, had to reply that no business courses in Spanish are offered. However, the bureau, whose motto is "The Worldwide Classroom," does have students living all over the world. Enrollments have been received from APO's in San Francisco and Seattle.
