A & M May Be Big 7 Addition
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (UP) Big Seven Conference faculty representatives will meet at Omaha, Neb., next weekend and possibly discusx admitting Oklahoma A&M as an eighth member to the conference.
The conference meeting will be held May 16-18 in conjunction with the Big Seven outdoor track meet at Lincoln, Neb.
Since that time, the University of Oklahoma has gone on record as backing A. & M. for admittance. Kansas State President James A. McCain also has stated that he would back A. & M.'s admission to the conference.
"We definitely want in the conference." Iba said.
Reaves E. Peters, conference commissioner, said today he could not divulge whether or not A. & M.'s admission application was on the agenda for discussion. Peters also would not say whether A. & M. had applied for membership in the conference.
Under conference rules, new members can be admitted by five votes. A. & M.s bid to get into the conference in 1949 failed by a vote of two for and five against.
However, last December Hank Iba, A. & M. athletic director, said he believed the conference would admit the Aggies this spring.
The discovery of cheese, the National Geographic Society says, is believed to have occurred more than 2,000 years B.C., when someone carried milk in a canteen made from the stomach of a sheep.
She Serves Pizzas, Advice
Meet Ann, Ann Patterson, a housemother of sorts and a mother in more ways than one. She not only has six kids of her own but also, in serving the local intelligence-sia pizzas from the Hideaway, she has picked up a few more "chilluns" some of them with problems.
Ann, who has been straw boss at the pizza factory since its opening a little over a year ago and who came to Lawrence from the Clyde community in Cloud county, isn't hard to spot. She's 47 years old, a blond turned grey, and 5" 1".
Love Problems
Of all the problems her student-
friends bring to her, love problems
predominate. Ann acts as liaison and
counsellor in troubled love affairs.
"The love partners will come to me separately and ask me to find from the other why they can't get along.
"I never advise them to get together because that might not be best, but I do try to help them see their problems so they can figure what's best.
"One girl, wanted her boyfriend to spend all his free time with her, to the detriment of his studies. The unhappy sequel to this affair was that the girl dropped out of school to go home.
Ann likes KU students, albeit some of them don't always reflect quality upbringing, especially freshmen who get to feeling their oats when away from home.
A group of freshman women, acting like girls, came in to the Hidesaway last fall and ordered 64 cokes. Ann brought them 61% after pouring out half of one, and asked who wanted the half one. The individualist answered up, somewhat sheepishly, and got her coke.
Still Likes Students
Ann'll be around this summer, just as last, to keep the "home fires burning" for summer students who know good pizzas are to be had when Ann makes the sauce (confidential recipe) rolls the dough and puts just the right amount of sausage or "what'll it be" on it.
But Ann still likes serving students as well as working with them. Nine students work there part time.
And now you've met Ann, the Hideaway's mother as well as its most important employee.-Adv.
Library work has left little free time for outside activities, for Charles M. Baker, director emeritus of libraries and library bibliographer "except keeping the grass cut and the iris blooming, he said.
Librarian Is Now Bibliographer
Mr. Baker came to the University in 1928 as director of libraries and served in that position until 1952 when he reached retirement age.
The library work has "kept me busy all along.
The turn over in a library staff is great. The demand for service is constant, and service must be given even if part of the staff is gone.
"It wasn't so bad before the war. Then we had men for student assistants. They could take the work better and would stay longer. Of course you have to go further to get a book now and a larger staff is needed."
"The library has expanded over the years and it is more difficult to see what is going on. It used to be that one could have a more intimate knowledge of what is going on."
Library Expanded
When asked why he decided to become a librarian Mr. Baker answered that it had looked interesting. He had been associated with big libraries in college and during his teaching career, he said, and taught English at Syracuse University for three years.
After retirement Mr. Baker says he will probably continue to spend most of his time around the library.
The woodwind and brass ensemble will give a concert at 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, not May 9 as reported in Thursday's Daily Kansan.

This June, the graduates of our engineering and scientific schools, pockets stuffed with job offers, have "the world on a string."
But there's another "string" attached to this fabulous situation: A man can only accept one job offer.
How can the graduate make up his mind wisely about his vital decision?
We're not going to try to tell you. And we're going to resist the temptation to point out the many advantages of working for IBM-much as our company, like every other, needs topnotch engineering and scientific talent.
IBM's President has stated this policy: "... I want this company to be known as the one which has the greatest respect for the individual."
We're merely going to leave you with one thought that may help you make your decision:
