'The Last Resort' May Prove to Be First Resort for K.U. Social Life
Although officially labeled "The Last Resort", the new coke and dance room sponsored by the Student Union Activities which will ably be the "first resort" for University students since it will be one of the few dance spots open in Lawrence. The campus dance room has been planned because of the crowded conditions in local restaurants and dance spots.
The opening time has been set for 7 p. m. Saturday, according to Eugenia Hepworth, president of Student Union Activities. It is expected that students will find "The Resort" a favorite hangout after the official "house warming" if present plans are carried out. Present arrangements are that the room will be open on Friday and Saturday nights and may be open on weekday afternoons from 4:30 until 5:30. However, these plans are only tentative.

According to Miss Darby, appliqued curtains and table cloths have been made by the committee with the assistance of students in the home economics department.

They have a directory close at hand in case they do not know the number, and if the number is not listed in the directory for some reason, operators check with the University payroll or the Chancellor's office.
(continued from page one) will be added at the 3:30 p.m. showing.
The first show will be at 9:15 a.m.

'The Voice'on K.U. Wire Has Served for 16 Years
Wanta' get your wires crossed.
Then just take a turn working at the K. U. switchboard, and after a lapse of about two minutes you are sure to find yourself all thumbs, with resultant confusion all over the campus and even downtown.
Mrs. Mary Newstifter, "The Voice" which pleasantly responds "K. U." when you pick up the phone, has been working on the switchboard for sixteen years, and is the epitome of calmness even when faced with a board of crossed and criss-crossed wires, buzzing buzzers, and flashing red, green, and white lights. Fifteen hundred calls a day come through the switchboard during a nine-hour period, but it is seldom that Mrs. Nestifter makes a mistake. Has Ten Lines to City
The switchboard is open 24 hours a day, with two assistants handling the 4 p.m. to midnight calls and the midnight to 8 a.m. calls. Mrs. News-tifter has a half-time assistant who comes on at noon and is on duty until four in the afternoon. The heaviest work is from 1:30 p.m., until 4 p.m., with the period from 9:30 to 11:00 in the morning running a close second.
The K. U. exchange has 10 lines to the city, and 200 campus stations. There are a total of 282 University phones, including extensions. The number of city calls to the campus and campus calls to the city is in the ratio of about 50-50. They Just ask for "Joe".
Mrs. Newstifter said that very few
Mrs. Newstifter remarked that the majority of people are quite pleasant to the operators, and usually the operator's tone and manner bring a similar reaction from the person phoning. "If you are pleasant, they are usually pleasant, and if you are sassy, they come right back at you," admitted Mrs. Newstifter. Sometimes the operators say they have a tendency to get silly and answer the board with "Kansas University PBX," which never fails to bring an equally sassy retort.
Operators Have one Complaint
The K. U. operators have only one complaint against the general public, and that is that often a person picks up the phone while he is conversing with, someone and goes ahead to finish what he is saying while the operator shouts "K. U.-K. U.-K. U." in exasperation, until the party sees fit to give his number.
The K. U. operator's job is not an easy one, but you can always be sure that you'll hear a cheerful "Thank you" after you give her your number.
The glorious luxury and gay freedom of basking in the Summer sun seems to be a very part of lizard skin. That's why you'll get such a delightful thrill when you slip into these Paradise Pumps of lizard. So very light in weight—so amazingly sturdy in wear.
