War Memorial Drive Tops $111,000
Officials in charge of the drive, to raise $500,000 for construction of the campanile and a memorial driveway, announced during Christmas vacation that gifts and pledges had passed $111,000.
Shown above is the latest revised sketch for the campanile, planned as part of the K.U. World War II memorial. This sketch was prepared by Homer F. Neville and Edward B. Delk, Kansas City, Mo., architects.
Hugo Wedell, Kansas supreme court justice and president of the memorial association, said less than 10 per cent to the total is in pledges.
H. A. Hart, a Dodge City alumnus, sent in two checks for $500, one each for the football victories over Oklahoma and Missouri. C. L. Burt, of Hutchinson, also contributed $1,000 recently.
Never Tell A Gal Her Slip Shows, Othman Says-She Already Knows
B FREEDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
This is final. I have spent the day with three officials (only one of whose slips was dipping below the danger mark) of the American Home Economics association. They have $ \textcircled{*} $
Washington. (UP)—Never tell a lady that her petticoat is showing. She knows it, poor gal. Tug as she will, the durn thing sags again and there she is with her slip in the open some more.
told me true. The ladies of this nation are weary of being played for sckers and, or, being reminded about their errant underwear.
"The manufacturers have told us they'd be delighted to make things the way we want them made," said Miss Lelia Massey, the executive secretary. "Now we're telling 'em.'
They certainly are. The 20,000 members, all graduate home economists, are making surveys on assorted things that plague womankind, like lingerie that stretches, dresses that don't (the blame things rip), bread that tastes like plywood, thick steaks that turn out bone, and stew pans which develop leaks.
Miss Massey and her associates at headquarters (I refuse to say which one wore a slippery slip), told me about the siren songs of the bakers, the butcher, and the dressmakers. The boys have promised to deliver tie goods the way the ladies want it. The ladies are waiting, but not patiently.
As of now they're working on those slips (some good, but many sleazy, said Miss Massey), sweaters, winter coats, refrigerators, cooking utensils, and milk. They have completed their studies on house dresses, bread, and meat. They know what they want.
The meat first. The women of America are tired of buying meat and getting gristle. They insist that the butchers adopt some standards of how much bone goes with every steak. The ladies said when they want a small roast, they want it,
Nearly 12,000 women contributed to what is wrong with those dresses. Not one of them, gentlemen, was satisfied. Multiply that by a 10 million like some public opinion pollsters do and what do you get? A lot of frightened dress manufacturers. Or so the ladies hope.
without the back talk. They are caught up on compromising on big roasts. They also want thick steaks to be no thicker in Maine than in California and, of course, vice-versa.
The bread situation perhaps is not so critical. About half the ladies said they had no complaints. The other half said the bakers ought to keep on pumping vitamins into each leaf and be forced to label the nutritional content as well as net weight. Also, gents in the white aprons, the ladies want white bread that doesn't go moldy.
A good house dress, they agree,
should cost $4.98 and not one cent more.
When a lady buys a size 14
dress, it ought to be size 14, and not
suitable for draping a small elephant.
The gew-gaws down the front should be left off. The ladies don't like 'em. The hems ought to be deep and a red dress shouldn't dye everything else in the washing machine pink.
I am not sneering at the ladies. I think their idea is wonderful. I think they are wonderful. I am glad I am not a dressmaker. Never again will I tell a lady that her slip is showing. I'll merely keep my fingers crossed inconspicuously against its falling off altogether.
One other thing:
COEDS' CORNER
"But I like your Kansas weather," said Dorothy Boh Yuen Park, Fine Arts sophomore, from Hilo, Hawaii. Her first snow last winter was an occasion for celebration.
Kansas Weather Isn't Balmy But Hawaiian Student Likes It
Dorothy's fondness for Kansas weather has never been challenged by a summer here yet. She returned to Hawaii by boat last summer and came back this fall by plane.
After hearing that the University has a good occupational therapy department, Dorothy decided to come to the United States in the fall of 1945. She lives at Corbin hall, whose volleyball team she enlivened with her endless vitality.
Chairman of the minorities commission, Dorothy is active in W.Y.-C.A. With the assistance of Antonia Martinez and Jose Portuguese, she founded the International club, whose main function is social, in an effort to help foreign students and Americans to learn more about each other.
Three brothers and two sisters make life in Hawaii active. One brother is now attending Loyola University medical school in Chicago.
Dorothy's parents are Korean, but she has lived in Hawaii all her life, and plans to work in occupational therapy there after she is graduated from K.U.
