Susie Changes Aspirations After a Semester at College
Rv Patricia Shelev
It seems like just yesterday that my little friend, Susie, experienced her first day at college. Looking back, however, I realize that an entire semester has passed.
Susie met her new friends exuberantly and was ready to plunge headlong into KU's social whirl. She was an expert detective when it came to uncovering blind dates.
Now, due to some of her past experiences, Susie is a little wary of this blind date situation. She's very hesitant when her proposed date has no qualifications other than the fact that he has "a tremendous personality."
Study??
It was quite a blow to her when she learned a new word-study. She was so upset about making her grades that she took her books to bed with her.
Susie even saw her first rise at KU. It wasn't that she arose early for the occasion, she just hadn't gone to bed because of her studies.
Susie Learns Tricks
One night we asked her to play bridge. She responded with, "Oh, you guys! I can't waste a minute. I have a ten minute quiz three weeks from tomorrow."
As the semester progressed, however, Susie learned a few tricks of the trade. One night during a bridge game she was overheard to say, "This has got to be my last hand. I have an hour exam at 8 a.m. over five chapters that I haven't read and Fare it is 3 a.m. already."
In a sense, Susie has taken a step toward foreign diplomacy. She now knows the Greek alphabet. Of course, it took her a little while to realize that she was dating a "Phi 1s." not a "Pi Phi."
Susie has broadened her knowledge in many areas. The walk in front of Green Hall has educated her on the personality characteristics of the lawyer. From Sarge she has learned that man may not be the superior race after all. She has, also, learned to appreciate true beauty, providing it is wrapped in a letter sweater.
But, Susie is not a narrow-minded

girl. After living with so many girl she now knows the value of sharing. She has been trying to teach others this value, especially since the girl down the hall has the "cutest red sweater."
Another American pastime that Susie has been educated on is the practical joke. She has found this to prevail to a large extent on the campus.
Her first encounter with a jokester was when a boy asked if she would like a ride home from classes. Not only were her feet tired, but she relished the thought of saving a dime, so Susie accepted. After the boy had let her into the car, Susie made herself comfortable. Suddenly she realized that her Prince Charming was briskly walking down campus and that the car she was sitting in was not his at all.
Publishers of Mademoiselle magazine will give $500 to each of the two fiction contest winners for serial rights to their stories. These stories will appear in the August 1960 College issue of that magazine.
The engagement of Patricia Lou Benson to Charles Rice Crain has been announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Homer I. Benson, Kansas City, Mo. His parents are Prof. and Mrs. William L. Crain, also of Kansas City, Mo.
Two runners-up in the contest will receive honorable mention and possibly get their manuscripts published in Mademoiselle.
Stories that have been published in undergraduate publications will be acceptable provided they have not been published anywhere else. More than one manuscript from each writer will be accepted.

Susie always knew that she had long eyelashes but their true purpose was unknown to her. With one flirtatious bat of her now well cared for lashes, Susie can change her grade from a C to a B easily.
All stories should run 2,500 to 5,000 words and be typewritten, double-spaced, and on one side of typing paper.
Entries should be mailed to the College Fiction Contest, Mademoiselle, 575 Madison Ave., New York 22. N.Y.
Of course, her schedule did not come out ideally. Nevertheless, after having classes from eight until noon Saturday mornings, she is quite content with only having to be in classes until 5 p.m. every school day.
Any undergraduate woman, under 26, from an accredited college or junior college in the nation, may submit manuscripts. All stories must be entered by next March 1.
During the pressing week of midsemesters, Susie yielded to the vices. Now, that she has pushed herself to two packs of cigarettes a day she finds that her finger nails have grown considerably.
The other day I asked Susie if she felt that she had changed after her first semester of college. She said that she felt much more grown up and that she finally realized that there are more important things than boys.
Crain is a junior at the University of Kansas City and is majoring in organic chemistry. He is historian of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
Miss Benson is a junior in the School of Fine Arts and is a resident of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall.
When Susie went through enrollment this semester she was a little more prepared than before. Not only did she stay in the right lines, but she remembered that the IBM cards were not to be used for notes to her roommate.
No wedding date has been announced.
Susie's new activity is getting acquainted with "men."
Snack nibblers may be healthier than persons who eat three regular meals a day.
Probe Finds Excuse For Snack Nibblers
Clarence Cohn, biochemist of the Michael Reese Research Institute of Chicago, and his co-workers have found in laboratory experiments that hardening of the arteries was seven times greater in meal-eating animals than in those allowed to nibble when they chose.
Some scientists believe that hardening of the arteries may be caused by the deposit of cholestrol, a fatty food, on the walls of arteries. Dr. Cohn found that fatty food, when eaten in frequent small feedings, is less fattening and less likely to cause fatty deposits than the same amount taken in large bursts of calories.

It is estimated that 47 per cent of all American brides in 1959 were under 19 years of age.
A recent government survey found that among American workers 25 years old and over, unmarried women are just as likely to hold two or more jobs as single men.
