Student Budgets Estimate Cost of College Course
Semester Fees and Living Expenses Are Found to Vary With Individual
One of the questions that looms large on the horizon when one is planning to go to college is, how much is it going to cost? How much money must you deposit in the bank each month? How much (in cash) can exist the next thirty days?
Expenses at the University of Kansas are divided into two main heads, enrollment and school fees, and a salary. Both salaries are payable at the beginning of each semester, following enrollment. For the freshman year, there is a matrix that shows how much money you are payable for each semester total about $30, along with a $3 health fee which entitles the student to use of the University's facilities for his or her service for the semester. Departmental fees depend on courses in which freshmen enroll. For laboratory courses, there is a fee of about $25 for materials used during the semester.
Expenses for the average student for room, board, and incidental living expenses have been budgeted in monthly accounts. The wide range of budgets given here are actual figures girls now attending the University.
Dorm Expense $57.50
The first is an account of a girl living in the dormitory.
Board and rooms $37.50
School expenses 5.00
Clothes extra 10.00
Misc. and social affairs 5.00
Total
Many girls at the University no
diving on $0 a month; these girls are
not allowed to swim in or touch
of course does not include any clothes.
The following is the budget of it
Board and rooms $45.00
Saturity dues $10.00
Clothes (extra) 12.50
Bread (extra) 12.50
Mice, show, etc. $2.00
Total
A clothes budget, for the girl with the $75 a month income, approximate the following:
Undies $29.00
1 party dress 35.00
2 affection dresses 50.00
collar dresses 50.00
1 sport coat 30.00
Shoes, three pairs 22.50
Hats, two 15.00
Men's Average 865
Taking a glance now at the man's side, who does not need a party dress, or afternoon hat, expenses seem less expensive, and an average is around $8 to $17 a month.
Quarters may be found for every type of living, good, yet cheap rooms for those who desire them, or luxurious and more expensive ones. Eating alfresco is much easier than fires to pay. Some of the more prosperous students pay out $100.00 per month for their education, while many get just as much from their books on one-half this amount. There are seven quarters who spend less than $60.00 a month.
Board, by club or meal ticket, costs from $7.55 to $6.00 per week, or on the average of $2.00 per month. Rooms may be rented for from $7.00 to $15.00, an average of $10.00, which is the per month necessary living expenses.
The average fraternity man, however, lives comfortably and has sufficient entertainment on $65 to $70. He works at the University, working at one of the many part-time jobs available at the University, are able practically to pay their own way through school. There is an example where he plays football and by waiting tables there, was able to play football and basketball, keep up his own collegiate Ford, have a mighty good time and still keep his expenditures below $140 for the se-
Pictures in Relief May Be Seen in New Movies
(Science Service)
New York City, N. Y.-Stereoscopic motion pictures, that seem to possess depth from any position, and not reqiring any special viewing apparatus are described in the book, which were described to the Optical Society of America here morning by Dr Herbert E. Ivens, of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. However, he empha- ses the appearance for taking and projecting them is complicated and costly.
A large number of motion picture machines project onto the screen from a number of films that were made in the early 1950s. All sides of the subject and the result is that no matter where a person sits, so long as he is in front of the screen, they see the picture in relief. Because they can see the camera made with one camera, and the other next, made with another camera, this gives the stereoscopic effect, and makes it easier to move from one side to the other they see what appears to be a solid object.
World's Highest Dam Completed
An interesting view of the Pacoima Dam at San Francisco, Calif., which has just been completed at 40 miles east of San Francisco by a water conservation program and drains 25 sq. miles in the Sierra Madre Mountains. It is 160 feet tall at the top and 160 feet thick at the bottom. It has a maximum drainage capacity of 130 cubic yards.
Americans Help Exports Wax Dumma With Foam
Parisian Shops Profit From
Artistic Tourists
Paris—(UP) —The growing artistic taste of the American people resulted in an increase of French exile to Paris, 1873 and 1928, according to a report last made here by Consult-General Alphonse Gaulin. This report reveals that Americans spent over $10,000,000 in paintings, sculptures, sketches and drawings last year.
Couture, jewelry, precious stones and perfumery, however, were still among the best codifiers, and American craftsmanship came back with them several million dollars worth of such products last summer. In Paris, Gloves, all kinds of other leather articles, high-grade paper parsons, finishes, leather and hand-crafted pieces, are available. The declared value of French mesh banding evaporated to the United States in 293,319, it was stated by M. Giannali “One of the notable developments in Couture is the shift from silk fabrics and the decline in exports of wearing apparel made of these materials. The loss of the hat became a matter sated by the gain in the former. In strange contrast is the decline in wool garments and woolen garments in dollar dollars in woolen garments.
Lack of Proper Training Causes Life's Failures
New York, — Lack of proper training during childhood, and not lack of ability, was blamed for most of Brown's missteps. Brown I, speaking at the closing session of the Orthpsychiatric Association meeting here recently Doctor Brown discussed the chief reason people fail and become dependent.
Actual lack of ability does cause zoonoses failure, Doctor Brown said, but it can be prevented or might be supposed. Certain unfortunate mental trains and characteries that prey on vulnerable childhood are also potent causes of failure later in life, Doctor Brown says.
New York. —The eye of a bee is not nearly such a wonderful organ of sight as many romantic natural objects, but in fact only about one per cent as good as the eye of a human being when it comes to distinguishing separate objects and the distances between them. We see here the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America, Prof. Solg. Hectt and Dr. Ernst Weld, of Columbia University, told of the great geo-visual ability of the bee.

Test Proves Man's Eye Is Better Than
They let bees walk up a sloping glass plate, beneath which was a movable mirror with bright bands, giving a sort of picket fence effect. The bee would change the direction of its march when it hit a wall or an object; it paid no attention to bands that were to narrow for it to see. By using a number of slides, with varying widths and distances, we can narrower object which a bee can perceive. This was found to be a hundred times as wide as the narrowest object detected at the same angular distance.

Used in Radio Research
New York City, N. Y., A life-sized man-strapped dummy, with a wax head and cars consisting of audio head receivers embedded in the wear, are required for an auditory apparatus used by P. A. Frostone and D. L. Rich of the University of Michigan in recent experiments. They told of the need to build a kind of hearing device of the American Physical Society.
and human eyes were found to be alike in that both seem badly in a sense of brightness. Above a certain degree of brightness, above no improvement in shape, human eyes are not bright.
Close Dancing forbidden in High School Order
A loud speaker unit connected to a pipe was tectill with the roof of a building on which the experiments were made. It should so that it could be carried to lay position or distance with respect to the sound, or any distance from it. Sound waves vibrating the diaphragms of the pipe produced waves which they measured. As a result, they announced, they found that the actual creature mouths were -oxy close to the surface of the body and artificially on the basis that the head is a rigid membrane in free space.

Educational leaders consider the theater the most important of the arts because producing plays combines literature, painting, music and the rest. The theater also has a purpose in teaching children the method of teaching it has been neglected except in isolated cases or as ineffective gestures.

You Remember Goliath
Don't overlook the smaller advertisements in this paper. Look them over. The message which an advertisement conveys is vastly more important than the mere size of the space it fills. Some of the biggest values are often described in type no larger than ordinary news-print.
The safest method is to read all the advertisements, large and small. Experience proves that it is time well spent. The more time you spend in preparation for shopping, the less actual time you will have to be on your feet in the stores.
Read the advertisements in this paper and you will know in advance just what to buy, where to buy it,and how much you will have to pay for it. You will conserve your own energy and that of the salespeople whose job it is to wait upon you. Preshopping in the advertising columns is simply common sense.
If you have been skipping the little advertisements in this paper, decide now that you will give them a bearing after this. It will be as much to your advantage as it will be to the advantage of the merchant or manufacturer whose name is signed to the advertisement.
