'Mathematicians Are Pretty Good Joes,' Whiting Tells Club
"Mathematicians, on the whole, are pretty good Joes," Marilyn Whiting, College senior, told a meeting of the Mathematics club Thursday.
Even the "old boys" had their human sides, the blonde mathematics major stated. Many of the "fathers of figures" were accomplished lovers, and most of them would not refuse an occasional glass of port.
The man responsible for analytic geometry liked to remain in bed each morning until he felt like getting up, which just goes to prove that students in the 15th century had something in common with those today.
"Newton", said Miss Whiting of the man who advanced the theory of gravitation, "was an eager beaver." A few of this type are still available, too.
No Turkey At Sunflower
Turkey won't be served at Sunflower barracks Thanksgiving Day, Irvin Youngberg, director of housing, has announced. Because only 10 students are expected to remain in the barracks over the vacation, the cafeteria will be closed. However, bus schedules to and from the campus will be maintained, Mr. Youngberg said.

Tireless Tommie Has Many Jobs; Is K.U. Activity Gal Deluxe
Lois Thompson is one person who has a major and sticks to it.
"Tommie," College senior, from McPherson, a sociology major, spends her summers doing social work with underprivileged and delinquent children.
Next summer "Tommie" would like to work in a settlement house in New York. Before returning to K.U. this fall, she helped care for migrants' children in California, in connection with the Home Mission council. In this work she tried to bring security into the lives of the children by organizing schools and counseling with the parents.
In the summer of 1945, she worked at a charity camp for delinquent and underprivileged children in Illinois.
Her future plans hold the hope to continue her work with juvenile delinquency as a probational officer in a juvenile court.
Here at the University, "Tommic" is vice-president of the I.S.A. Sunday afternoon chairman for Student Union activities, freshman counselor at Miller hall, secretary in the political science office, campus problems commission chairman for Y.W.C.A., and a member of Mortar board, Swedish and Sociology clubs.
Last year she was chairman of the traditions committee of All Student Council, a member of the A Capella choir, and was president of the Independents before they merged with LS,A. in the spring.
"Tommie" also is interested in political science work, especially at the University.
"I'd like something to come about," she said, "so that more students on the Hill could know about the government and politics here."
In her Y.W.C.A. work, she is in charge of publishing a political primer to get students better acquainted with the system.
"To effect the change, the present law, which allows a candidate to be nominated six days before the election, would have to be revised," she said.
"I would like to see a change," she continued, "whereby nomination for candidates would be early enough so that a convocation could be scheduled in the spring to introduce the candidates. Then everyone would get to know them, and not vote blindly."

They were organizers and contributors to "Bundles for Britain" throughout the war.
Mrs. Henry Werner, wife of the dean of student affairs, and chairman of the organization, was presented the ribbon by a British consul in Kansas City.
Mrs. Paul D. Haney, wife of the director of the state water laboratory, and secretary-treasurer of the organization, was unable to attend the ceremony, but received a ribbon. Both women will receive the media later.
