The Joke's On Us, Folks
New Men's Dormitory Is Named After 'Oread Institute For Girls'
"The Board of Regents was somewhat misinformed on what 'Oread' applies to," Frank E. Melvin, department of history, said when informed that the Board had approved "Oread" as the name of the recently completed 162-man structure west of Memorial stadium.
According to the facts dug up by Professor Melvin, Oread means, "Hill of the Muses" and originally was taken from Greek mythology. Professor
how, who had cared to substitute his story, said that Oread applies only to the north part of the University hill.
In 1854, a band of pioneers called the New England Society of Immigrants held a meeting on the "hogs back" as Mt. Oread was called at that time.
They decided to rename the hill in honor of Eli Thayer, president of the society, who ran a girls' school on a similar hill in Worcester, Mass., called Oread Institute for Girls.
The minutes of the meeting state, "On this hill we will build a university and make a town at its base." This was assuming a lot because Kansas still belonged to the Indians.
Oread limestone was named after Mt. Oread and not the hill after the limestone, stated Professor Melvin.
For further information concerning the history of K.U. Professor Melvin recommends "Across the Years on Mount Oread" written by Prof. Robert Taft in 1941.

Smith Sells Plans, Article To Magazine
Stinson Smith, Engineering junior, has received a check for $175 from Mechanics Illustrated magazine. Smith designed and drew the plans for a model of a racing airplane.
The article and complete plans for the plane will appear in the magazine's January issue. Smith's model is a scale reproduction of a racing plane that won honors in the 1935 air races.

'Learn How To Be Marriageable'--Wood
"Marriages of comradeship turn out better than marriages of pure infatuation," Dr. Leland Fosier Wood told a small audience at the last of a love and marriage lecture series last week.
The first step is learning how to be marriageable, Dr. Wood said, and in this respect your first home is a 20-year school.
Choosing a mate was another important topic in his outline of "Marriage Problems."
"In choosing a mate three require- wants need, and can get" added.
"Marriage is exactly what you make it," he said. "Among the tools for making such a marriage are emotional maturity, control of angers and irritations, willingness to take responsibility, and the capacity to love another person."
Wheat Prospects Cheer Farmers
Topeka. (UP)—The combination of a big acre sown to winter wheat and fine fall growing conditions coupled with prospect of good prices at harvest-time next summer brought Kansas farmers to the end of November smiling.
A smattering of unofficial estimates places the wheat acreage from which the 1947 crop will be taken above the area sown the last two years—perhaps the biggest acreage in nearly a decade.
Arthur Wahl, of the electrical engineering staff, spoke to the American Institute of Electrical engineers last week in the auditorium of Lindley hall. He discussed "Electrical Engineering Principles Applied to Aircraft Instruments."
