News of Sunflower Village
By GEORGE RIPPEY
These first weeks of getting back into the swing of things on the hill are beginning to show by the lines in the faces of Sunflower residents, so perhaps moments of relaxation do have their place.
Some of the men already are taking advantage of the swimming privileges at the Robinson Gymnasium and seem to go for it in a big way. Particulars on what hours are open at the pool may be obtained at the office in the gym.
We can be getting our tennis rackets in condition also because it shouldn't be too long before ole man weather cooperates to the extent that we can get in a couple of games at the last afternoon bus to the village.
The wives of the students of Sunflower got the preliminaries to their activities organization off to a big mass meeting their first mass meeting at the village.
Ex-Sunflowerite Mrs. Jeanne Moody, who does such an excellent job of giving people discouraging news in a pleasant manner at the K.U. Housing Information Office, led the gals in the discussions of their problems assisted by Mrs. Jeannette Feigenbaum. While the exact sub-questions are not known to the general male population of the village, they discussed them for a couple of hours so it must be good.
Present plans call for a lecture on "Plastic's" to be given in the Grade School Auditorium at 8 tonight. Husbands are invited, and since this particular topic will be of interest to us both in living and working in our post-war world, a capacity turnout is expected.
The wives also are invited to attend the meetings of the Service Wives Club held at 2 p.m. each Friday in the USO building. Though this is called a "service" wives club, it is also called "a service" as eligible for membership and a fine chance to get acquainted with one's neighbors.
From all reports these meetings have been very entertaining for the women and those with children may attend by leaving the youngsters at the nursery next door to the meeting hall. There is a nominal charge for their care but many of the wives seem to think it is well worth the price to have a "maid's afternoon off."

Student's Wife Had 'Quiz Kids' In English Class
How would you like to teach a class with two Quiz Kids in it?
Mrs. Dorothy Simons, wife of Robert A. Simons, engineering sophomore, while teaching at the University of Chicago high school she had 11-year-olds Duskin and Jerdar Darrow of the Quiz Kid radio program game, in her seventh grade English class.
Blonde, dimuntive, Mrs. Simons said that she had no difficulty with the pain. They learned quickly, were very hard work to get than the usual number of questions.
Ruth Duskin, the Quiz Kid authority on the Bible and Shakespeare, had the highest I. Q. in the school. Jerard, explained Mrs. Simons, was an average student but had been drilled in his specialty, entomology.
Mrs. Simons taught the seventh and ninth grade English classes in this laboratory school where new teaching methods are tried. Many of the pupils in the classes were children of college professors which gave them an educational background. Such students were usually "eager beavers" in class, she said.

the men haven't received too much attention. The reason for this, of course, is the fact that they don't have any spare moments right now.
A good part of their time is spem trying to clear the cobwebs from the little gems of knowledge they possessed in the long, long ago and once they get the thinking machine back in the academic groove more time can be devoted to some gabfests or sports.
