Dr. Clara Nigg, head of the virus laboratory of Souibb and Sons:
"More today than ever before the emphasis is on social science. Social science must deal with the problems of a too-precocious scientific development. It must see to it that our hearts will be at least as big as our heads."
Miss Ava Van Lew, director of nurses at the K. U. hospitals:
Dr. Geraldine Hammond, professor of English at Wichita University; "Don't start out with the idea that you are going right up the ladder to a level equal with men teachers. Salaries just aren't the same."
dishes at the K. U. hospitals.
"Nursing ranks with homemaking is strictly women's work. When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a family; but when you educate a nurse, you educate a community."
Dr. Marie Castellani, professor of mathematics at the Kansas City University and international vice-president of Business and Professional Womens club:
"Women have not chosen business careers befitting them and have accepted lower salaries than men. To keep their self-respect, women must demand the wages they are gettably worth."
Miss Ruth Stout, associate dean of students at Washburn University and president of the Kansas Teachers' association:
"Women entering the teaching profession must expect to work hard, give up things for which she has no time, have the ability to teach practical application of facts, and make life interesting for students through knowledge."
Miss Louise Noble, regional child welfare consultant of the U. S. Children's Bureau, Kansas City;
"Social work is a definite profession requiring understanding and skills. The student should obtain a broad basic background in psychology, sociology, and political science."
Miss Jane Schroeder, Swift and Company's "Martha Logan":
"The purpose of home economies in the field of business is to interpret for the company the thinking of American womanhood and to interpret for the American consumer what the company has to offer."
Miss Lorraine Carlson, post librarian. Fort Riley, Kans:
"18,000 librarians will be needed in the next six years. Women don't go into library work because they feel they will be filed away like the books. Actually that is not true at all."
Mrs. Marguerite Faber, head of Martha Manning Garment company,
Louis;
"Ability to draw well is not important in dress designing. It's more important to be able to draft a pattern and to know draping and sewing."
Jean Stouffer, community advisor
As Peggy Sees K.U. Campus
The following column was written for the Daily Kansan by Mrs. Zula Bemington Greene, who writes a daily column, "Peggy of the Flint Hills" for the Teopека Daily Capital.
A hat on a man student is as rare as stockings on a girl. A hat is in the way. There's no place to put it in classes. I wonder too if this discarding of head covering may be a passive protest to the rather silly custom of hat-tipping. They say not. A guy can wear earmuffs when it's cold. What does he need of a hat?

Rumors of a "pinning" were floating around a House, but it did not come off. I expect there were several pinnings in the Sunflower and Sunnyside houses.
I wonder if some of the veterans who march along the campus before eight o'clock in battle jackets and khaki pants may not be sleepy under the impression that the order was "Attack at dawn."
The surprise of the trip is that I have seen no one killed in car traffic on the hills in the suburbs of the campus, but I must not have been at the right places. It is hardly likely that everybody escaped.
I heard wild geese honking over in the night. It won't be long till you are swooning in the lilacs.

One thing I have not been able to do. In a University catalog I saw this: "Recent Advances in Anatomy". I have looked good, but have seen only the usual standard anatomy which I'll settle for without advances.
I'd like to compliment the Kansan staff and supervisors on the clean-cut writing that is being done. Adjectives have been reduced until sentences are as spirited as race horses.
亲 承 邓
"There are many opportunities for interesting positions in seout work. You get a real satisfaction from helping train a youth group for good citizenship."
I'd like to say, too, how nice it's been to be with you. You've done me good.
"At least a master's degree from college is needed in order to insure a person of a good job in psychol- ov."
for the national staff of Girl'Secrets of America:
Mrs. Robert Holt, staff member of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry school, Menninger Foundation, Topeka:
Miss Helen Fahey, physical education supervisor, Kansas City;
"A good recreational teacher must be a good publicity agent, a counselor and a salesman. Such a teacher must be able to sell a child the idea of climbing a piece of gymnasium equipment as well as convince an adult that anyone can learn to dance."
Receives Award
This is Dr. Clara I. Nigg of New Brunswick, N. J., who was the 65th University graduate to receive the alumni award for distinguished service. The award was presented to Dr. Nigg in a Careers Conference convocation Tuesday by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association.
ASC Membership To Be 10-6 Ratio
Representation on the All Student council will be proportionately 10 men to 6 women effective in the spring election April 17. This representation plan was adopted at the council meeting Tuesday night.
The exact number of representatives from each district will not be announced, though, until all figures have been checked, Keith Wilson, chairman of the election committee, said.
The council passed and sent to the Chancellor's office for approval a bill whereby all house parents and food handlers in organized houses must be examined for communicable diseases either by the University Health service or some acceptable physician.
Each house must submit certificate of examination to the ASC at the University of New York fall. Certificate will be furnished by the University Health service.
Roy T. Harmon, AVC representative to the council who introduced the resolution, called upon Donald Pomeroy, chairman of the Progressive party, Alamada-Bollier, editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan, and William Scheinman, AVC representative, to express their views on admitting A. and M. into the conference.
A resolution to go on record as opposing Oklahoma A. and M's entrance into the Big Six conference was tabled by the council until Chancellor Deane Malott can appear before the group.
The date of the peace-pact conference with Kansas State was postponed until April 21. The original date, April 8, conflicts with mid-semester examinations at Kansas State.
The council also voted to assess a fine of fifty dollars to any campus political party violating city ordinances during political campaigns.
The following committee appointments were made at the meeting: Social committee, Duane Postlewrite.
Student poll committee, Duane Postlewaite, chairman, Allen Cromlev and Arnold Jennings.
Public relations, Paul Carpenter.
Freshman week committee, Betty van der Smissen.
Calendar committee, Paul Carpenter.
Malott Asks K.U. Faculty To Reconsider Courses
Expresses Concern Over Increasing Rules and Regulations, Work Loads
Chancellor Deane W, Malott asked the faculty of the College Tuesday to restudy a number of "pedagogical problems." His request was made at a meeting of the College faculty.
Specifically, he urged:
Ise Challenges Greek Aid Policy
John Ise, professor of economics,
told a Kansas City, Mo., audience
Tuesday that the United States must
change its international ways or else
give up all hopes of peace with Russia.
He spoke at a forum sponsored by the Kansas City chapter of the council for American-Soviet friendship on the question "Can We Live In One World With Russia."
Dr. Ise took a dim view of the outlook for world security. He said that the President's request for aid to Greece and Turkey had started him "on serious speculation of life in a bomb shelter."
He said the United States was apparently thinking that if it could start a sprinkling of democratic followers in Russia in 1918 to 1921, the bulk of the Russian people would support the new political trend. The political seed was never planted.
"Today we are talking about Russian imperialism," he said. "It seems to me that we still have a little tendency toward imperialism ourselves. All we want is to control Mexico, Central America, and part of South America.
"Then we seem to want most of the Pacific, and part of Korea. We say we need it to keep the peace. Perhaps it's a benevolent sort of imperialism, but we tell the rest of the world we want our kind of peace and if they don't like our kind of peace we'll knock their heads off."
Lawyers Strike Back With Gallery Gift
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—The Nelson art gallery today was in reluctant possession of a 65-pound bronze bust of Frank Olin Marvin, first dean of the University of Kansas School of Engineering.
Gallery officials indicated they wanted neither the bust nor the placard hung around its neck.
The Placard read: "In memory of James Green, father of the University of Kansas law school, we the members of the School respectfully dedicate this bust of Dean Marvin of the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas to the Nelson Art gallery, in the fond hope that the association will impart to it some degree of culture which was so noticeably lacking in its former environment."
Gallery Superintendent C. W. Simrson said the bust would be "held for safekeeping until somebody comes after it."
"I don't think it's up to us to shi it back," he said, "and so far we've heard nothing from Lawrence."
WEATHER
Kansas--Partly cloudy today, tonight and Thursday except mostly cloudy with intermittent light rain or snow western quarter today. Somewhat colder today east and south. Warmer south Thursday. Low tonight 30-35.
ONE. Revision of the 10 hour language requirement on the grounds that "in this day of explosive change the faculty might feel that other courses, particularly in the field of the humanities and sciences, more important than the basic language courses which are so often forgotten and unused in later life."
TWO. Early completion of the faculty studies now being made to consider the possible establishment of general courses in the physical science and the humanities.
THREE. Elimination of uneven work requirements throughout the College curriculum.
FOUR. Correction of the tendency for college regulations to increase through the years.
Chancellor Malott indicated that the problems were for faculty decision, and he suggested no solution.
A similar request by the Chancellor in 1943 resulted in the establishment of the General Biology course, the examination in Western Civilization, the revision of the English composition and literature courses, and the correction of the general courses in Home Economics.
18th Century Music Theme Of Concert
Ralph Kirkpatrick, harpsichordist,
and Alexander Schneider, violinist,
will appear in a concert of 18th century chamber music at 8 tonight in Fraser theater.
The concert will include 18th century music by Couperin, Bach, Mozart, Handel, Tartini, and others on instruments for which it was written.
Student War Memorial drive offices have been opened at the north end of the Frank Strong Rotunda, Bruce Bethurst, chairman of the drive, said today.
Memorial Offices Set Up In Rotunda
The harpsichord was the "piano" of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Its quality is a toned value and melody quality. The hard harpsichords are museum pieces.
A limited number of tickets are still available at the School of Fine Arts office.
"Solicitation has started in houses where speakers have talked, and it will be in full swing Wednesday," he said.
Any house showing 100 per cent support and contributing over $100 will be added to the list of official 'bell ringers', which appears on stationary sent out to the alumni.
A list of student bell ringers, those contributing $25 or more, will also be made up and cards will be given to them, Bathurst said.
Students who gave $25 last year are Donald and Betty Alderson, Robert Anderson, Mariette Bennett Spencer, Patricia Slouke Blake, Pvt. Conrad D. Crocker, Lewis Franklin Lichty, Florence Richert, Mary Jean Monroe, John B. Black, and John D. Bennett.
YM Dance To Be Thursday
