Students' wives clubs serve Lawrence and the University
By REBECCA MASSEY Kansan Staff Writer
Planning parties, auctions and service projects keep student wives clubs busy throughout the year at the University of Kansas.
The schools of law, architecture, pharmacy, engineering and business are among those within the University that boast organizations for students' wives.
The law students' wives association is one example. Recently members gathered in the Community Room of the University State Bank to auction Christmas decorations, cookies and cakes.
Mrs. Dave Phillips, president of the law wives said the auction was designed to raise money for a spring party for the husbands and to send Christmas baskets to needy families in Lawrence.
Engineerettes is the name of the students' wives club at the Engineering School. One of their plans for the year is a graduation dinner-dance in May, at which time wives receive their P.H.T. (Put Hubby Through) diplomas. In February, the pharmacy wives will have a Sweetheart Dinner for their husbands and children, said Mrs. Dennis Hendershot,
president of the club. Other wives plan parties, dinners or picnics for their husbands and children throughout the year.
Several of the wives organizations take an active part in Lawrence through service projects. Mrs. Ronald Barley, whose husband is in the business school, said the business wives purpose is to get to know each other. "But," she said, "the club also raises money for underprivileged children." They, like the law wives, held an auction for that purpose.
The architecture school's wives club recently made wall decorations for a boys home in Lawrence for their service project. For Mrs. Ray Redburn, president of the club, said the home
is a refuge for boys who come from problem homes, or who may have been in trouble with the police. "They did not have one picture on the wall—nothing," she said. The club made plaques, bulletin boards and burlap hangings for the home.
Most of the organizations meet monthly and usually have an agenda planned for the entire year. Several of them also meet in smaller groups to play bridge or knit. The law wives have a study group at which professors from the law school lecture on topics of law. Mrs. Phillips said the lectures give the wives a general idea of what their husbands are learning.
KU receives science grant
The National Science Foundation has given KU $44,700 to study the properties of hydrocarbon mixtures.
The study will be conducted by Fred Kurata, professor of chemical engineering and associate dean of the graduate school.
Kurata is trying to find the properties of hydrocarbon mixtures at low temperatures and high pressures.
Four graduate students have been assigned to work on the project. They are: Thomas W. Yergovich, Kansas City; Michael C. Chen, Taiwan, China; U. K. Im, Seoul, Korea, and Robert H. Jensen, Muskegon, Michigan.
