Women Primp for Breakfast At Carruth-O'Leary Dormitory
There is one place on "the hill" where women dress and try to look their sparkling best for breakfast.
The place is Carruth-O'Leary Hall,
the coeducational dormitory.
Some residents feel that "coeducational dormitory" is misunderstood by some citizens in the state. It should be noted that each is an independent living group with their own governmental organization. But the two groups cooperate in sharing the costs of parties and social functions.
Residents of Carruth and O'Leary Halls eat their meals together in the south dining room. All university athletes eat their meals in the north dining room. Students mix freely in the lounges, studying, talking, playing cards and watching TV, until closing.
An O'Leary resident, JoAnn Adams, Ft. Leavenworth sophomore, said she felt the women living there dressed more neatly because of the coeducational setup.

Journalists to Talk At Matrix Dinner
Women in journalism will be making reservations to hear a Russian-born newspaperwoman and a humorist and author speak in Kansas City, Mo., on writing trends. They will also have the opportunity to talk with a juvenile literature authority who helped set up the William Allen White children's book award to authors.
TU members of Theta Sigma Phi, professional fraternity for women in journalism, have been invited by the organization's Kansas City members to attend a matrix table banquet March 12.
Featured speakers will be Mrs. Mark Ehridge, humorist, author and wife of the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper in Kentucky, and Miss Nila Magidoff, former newspaperwoman and writer, of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Among other women to be honored at the dinner for journalistic achievements is Mrs. Ruth Gagliardo, of Lawrence, an authority on juvenile literature. Mrs. Gagliardo helped establish a children's book award in memory and name of William Allen White. This prize is presented annually to the author of the volume Kansas grade school pupils pick as their favorite book.
Tickets for the banquet are $6.50 and reservations may be made with Mrs. George J. Davidson, 7305 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, Mo.
Reservations should be made before Tuesday, according to Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism and sponsor of the KU chapter of Theta Sigma Phi.

meals or to the lobby with their hain set," she said.
John Hilbert, Casper, Wyo., junior said:
"There are no disadvantages in this coeducational system. Everyone takes more time to eat and although there are long meal lines, I enjoy the conversations while waiting. The dorm has done more things together and the quality of the parties and decorations has improved."
He said he felt that the dorm was a good place to get acquainted with more people and that the men dressed much neater.
More Students Eat
Jane Emery, Little Rock, Ark., sophomore and a member of the dormitory food committee, said that a higher percentage of the students were eating meals than in other dormitories.
"We have 160 out of 200 students eating breakfast," she said.
"We have a better response for committees and our coffees after games, and the devotional groups and discussion groups are very successful."
The disadvantages that women find in the dormitory are that they find less room for their clothes.
Coed Hall Favored
Thirty-three out of 35 women and 37 out of 38 men answering a questionnaire were in favor of a coeducational dormitory.
Nineteen women and five men felt there were fewer restrictions in coed living; 12 women and 28 men said there were the same number of restrictions; and two women and five men felt that there were more restrictions. Two women described the rules simply as different.
