COEDS' CORNER
Norma Pyke 'Freezes' In Winter Prefers Outdoor Summer Life
Norma Jean Pyke, Business senior from Strong City, Kan., doesn't nibernate in the winter, but she much prefers the outdoor summer life.
"In the winter I freeze," she said. This summer Norma Jean was a counselor at a Girl Scout camp in Wisconsin. She helped in the Girl Scout work in Lawrence last year.
Norma Jean is president of Corbin hall and Phi Chi Theta, professional business women's sorority. She is a member of the W.A.A., Y.W.C.A., and the Inter-dorm council. She also plays in intramurals for Corbin hall.
"I hate to have any leisure time," she said. "I always like to be doing something." Being Corbin's president, she represents 198 of the University coeds at meetings and parties, which is a big job. The annual Corbin Christmas revels will be held tomorrow night at the hall.
Like most University seniors, Norma Jean said she hates to graduate.

Rare Kansas Book Collection Is Stored In Archives Of Watson Library
Many students of the University come and go without knowing that stored away in the archives of Watson library is one of the finest collections of Kansas books to be found.
All faculty, alumni, and department publications are kept in the "vault," the room in which the collection is kept. K. U. catalogues, and those from other Kansas colleges are kept on file.
a few of the books are quite rare, most of them with time worn covers, but some of them fresh and new.
For many years now, Miss Maud Smelser has been in charge of the Kansas collection.
The collection began with the purchase of 100 volumes from the Rev. J. W. D. Anderson of Baldwin in 1891. Since then it has grown from free contributions and books that have come to the library through regular channels until there are now over 10,000 books.
Miss Carrie Watson for whom the present library was named, was in charge of the collection when the books were kept in the old Spooner library. The volumes were moved in 1924 to their present position in the library on the second level among the inner stacks.
On the shelves below are complete files of the University Daily Kansan, Graduate magazine, Jayhawker, Sour Owl, and other student publications.
Another part of the vault is devoted to state government and bank reports in addition to early history of Kansas laws and material explaining present state laws.
A complete history of the University and clippings about former great K. U. personalities and officials fill the shelves at the west end of the room.
Miss Smelser points out that clippings of Kansas' most famous military officer, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, were saved throughout the war and fill six large volumes.
Almost every book written by a
Knox is about Kansas is locked
in the room.
Students begin to realize the value placed upon this collection when they check out books. The name, address, and phone number of each individual must be given and the books cannot be taken from the building.
"We must enforce this ruling because many of the volumes could never again be replaced," Miss Smelser said.

No phone orders, please.
"I'm often shocked by specific phases of bobby-soxism," she admitted, "but I'm sympathetic at the same time. I realize they are just rebelling against conventions they don't believe in and elders they don't respect. And why should they? We've made a mess of things."
The sophisticated star isn't the dungaree and - shirttail - out type herself. She said she hadn't worn slacks in public since she was eight.
"I admire these girls, and understand their rebellions, even though I cringe from some of the crudities, the casting aside of good old conventions in conduct. However, I think that happens more rarely than you'd think by reading sensational news stories.
"It's the 1946, streamlined version of the spirit that led women to fight for votes and equality" she observed.
"Some of these modern outfits leave me speeckless," she said, pointing out a young lady in bobby-sox, dirty shady shoes, overalls and a man's shirt flapping almost to her baggy knees.
"I wonder what future generations will say about that outfit," she mused. "Just the same thing we say about pictures of the bloomer girls, who thought they were so daring, I suppose."
The sloppy costume, she thought, was a defence of the ridiculous and expensive bits of nonsense the girls see in fashion magazines. And she didn't blame the girls for rebelling against fashion slavery.
Storer Holds Traditional Pre-Quiz Study Party
Dr. N. W. Storer, professor of astronomy, held another traditional pre-quiz study party at his home Tuesday night. Guests were 21 students of Dr. Storer's Astronomy 12 class. The remaining class members are scheduled to be on hand at the Storer home tonight for their special study period.

Carols Ring From Dyche Bell-Tower Each Year
The chimes will be played daily between now and the beginning of the Christmas recess.
The chimes are intalled each year, and are sounded for about half an hour before the beginning of the vesper services.
Christmas carols have been ringing from the bell-tower of the Dycho museum of natural history, this week.
Children who see their parents breaking traffic laws, buying on the black markets, and staying up all night at drinking parties can't be expected to be either respectful or law-abiding themselves."
