University Club Entertains

Don't Expect Law 'Trouble' At Hop
The annual engineer's Hobnail Hop will be held from 9 to midnight tomorrow at the Military Science building.
This year's Hop will not afford the lawyers of the campus the opportunity last year's did, as no queen will be elected.
The Hop usually brings to the fore the age-old rivalry between the engineers and the lawyers of the University. Last year, on the day of the Hop, the lawyers kidnapped 11 of the 15 queen candidates and took them to a dinner and a dance of their own.
After the kidnapping, which the lawyers said was to get even with the engineers for their painting of the statue of Jimmy Green, the two schools called a truce. Whether or not that truce is going to hold will only be known after the Hop has come and gone. The engineers are not expecting any trouble from the lawyers, but they say they will be well prepared to meet any emergency which might arise.
Bob Douglas and his orchestra will play for the Hop in a night club setting. Over 40 tables, each seating eight to 10 persons, will be moved into the Military Science building. Waiters, furnished by the Y.M.C.A. will serve refreshments.
The dance is open to all students. Tickets and table reservations may be obtained in the lobby of Marvin hall, or tickets alone may be obtained at the business office.
Smoker Scheduled For Ex-POW Club
A coffee-smoker is planned for the Barbed Wire club meeting Thursday. The group of University ex-pisoners of war will undertake formal organization and will consider joining the national organization. Location of this meeting will be announced later.
"We want all of the University's ex-P. O. W.'s to get in on this," Juster Main, acting chairman, said the meeting Thursday night. We can get a lot of enjoyment out of swapping experiences and by organizing we can help one another in many ways."
COEDS' CORNER
Students In Sweden Are Freer Than KU'ers, Mrs Rende Thinks
"K.U. students seem to be treated like children. . . "
Anyway, that's what Mrs. Gundel Rende, special student from Sweden, thinks.
"In Sweden we decide when and when not to attend lectures, when to come home at night, and even when to take quizzes.
"In fact, a student may prepare for an examination for several years When he's ready, he notifies his professor, who then gives an individual oral examination two or three hours long.
"The Swedish student does not have required courses; he takes what he pleases. The curricula is not so varied; one subject may be concentrated on for several years."
The difference between American and Swedish education begins in grade school. Swedish grade schools last four years, high schools eight. The American system is exactly opposite.
"At ten or eleven, a Swede begins to study foreign languages—German, English, French, Latin. Since our country is small and surrounded by foreign-speaking neighbors, it is essential to know languages. You Americans can travel days without being in another country.
"In Sweden, students are graduated from high school at 19 or 20 years. Before graduation, a comprehensive examination must be taken—these exams are famous for their difficulty. White caps are awarded, to the students who pass. When you see a boy or girl in a white cap, you know he is advertising the fact he passed the final exam."
Gueda passed her exam all right, and is majoring in Scandinavian languages—Icelandic, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian. She teaches German here, and is taking three public speaking courses and the English course offered foreign students.
"My particular interest here is public speaking. In Sweden, little emphasis is placed on it. I admire the naturalness of Americans, their ability to carry on informal conversations. Our people, by custom, are reserved and quiet. Americans do
Bettie Pflueger Featured In 'News'

not make that mistake," she said.
Her husband is a teacher in the Swedish and German departments. The Rendes came to the states in January. "The first days in America were difficult—it was the language, of course. We had learned the British kind of English which is quite different. The American slang is colorful, but it's impossible to find in the dictionary. Even in American papers, we found words which weren't in Webster."
