Battenfeld Men Make Good 'Housewives'
RICHARD HOLLINGSWORTH
"Shoot the baking powder to me, Joe, these biscuits are gonna need it." No, it's not a cooking class—just the Battenfeld men doing one of their daily duties.
**
As Battenfield is run on a cooperative basis, each student is given a duty by the prector. For instance, Tom is assigned to the kitchen and spends an hour a day creating culinary arts, while Dick waits tables, and Harry draws bedmaking. The stock remark around the hall is, "We may not be ready for the big, wide world when we are graduated; but, we certainly make wonderful housewives."
"With our apple pie, brownie, pancake, and other experts our food is remarkably good. And, I'm bragging and not complaining when I say that!" exclaimed Deane Postlethwaite
Battenfeld hall, located at 1425 Louisiana, was built and presented to the University in 1940 by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld in memory of their son, John Battenfeld. John, a university student, was killed in a motor car accident near Lawrence in December, 1939.
Membership to the hall is given as a scholarship to worthy men able to maintain the required scholastic standing of 1.5 each semester. Although keeping the highest grade point average of any men's organized house takes time, the Battelden men are still able to enjoy their Christmas parties, spring formals, and their own version of freshman initiation.
Miss Carlotta Nellis is housemother.
House officers are Richard Hollingsworth, president; William Hollis, vice-president; Marion Sumner, secretary; Theodore Getfys, treasurer; Deane Postlethwaite, publicity chairman; Victor Reinking, freshman trainer; Thomas Saffell, sergeant-atarms; and Dale Rummer, scholarship chairman. Guy Ashcraft is proctor.

BIG PRIZES
The British think American women are "smart," our soldiers stationed in England left much of their "culture" behind, and American university women have a good break, according to Mrs. John Deichen, the English wife of a K.U. engineering student.
"Your women are so smart," she said, "especially your older women. They dress so smartly. The older English women don't bother so much about clothes—you know what I mean."

Mrs. Deichen arrive in America a month ago, the first English bride to arrive here since Eugene Rose. a special student, brought his English bride to the University in February. She believes there couldn't be a better feeling between Englishmen and Americans. She told how during the war, American soldiers spread slang in the English culture, and that some of the Britishers remembered the slang, and still use it. Imagine an enraged Englishman shouting
American Girls Are 'Smart'—But Radios Annoy, Says English Bride
"I say old thing, scram or I'll bust va' one in da' kisser see?"
When asked what her idea of American university women was, she remarked:
"University women in America have a few more career opportunities than the British women, because in England it always has been the fellows who went to the universities."
She confessed she was homeschied,
"But I like America. Though sometimes I think it moves too fast.
England is so slow. It's hard to strike a happy medium. But what bothers me most in America is your radio commercials. They do annoy me, really," she declared.
