'Hello...Grace Pearson, Is Molly Bee There?'
When 48 men move into a dormitory built for women, anything can happen—and a lot did.
Grace Pearson hall for women was opened in the fall of 1954. It and its neighbor, Douthart, were the latest in living quarters for women. Douthart is still its normal self but Grace Pearson isn't. Now 48 men occupy its three floors.
There were more than a few surprised students on the campus when they heard a male voice say, "Grace Pearson Hall," on the telephone early this fall.
However, according to J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, the change has been very satisfactory and no problems have arisen, said J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
"The situation is not permanent, however," Mr. Wilson said. Although it has not been decided yet whether men will continue to occupy Grace Pearson next year, it is sure that women will return in 1958 when the Jospeh R. Pearson dormitory for men is completed.
Grace Pearson was turned over to the men this fall because of a sizeable increase in men's enrollment. Mr. Wilson said.
The new men's dormitory, which will house about 400, will be located north of Carruth-O'Leary halls.
Applications for dormitory housing in June and July of 1957 will determine whether Grace Pearson will continue to be occupied by men during the fall and spring semester of 1957-58 or be returned to the women.

Toy Campaign To Start Soon
A goal of 7,000 toys has been set for the fifth annual Christmas toy drive this month. Collection boxes have been located in the lobby of the Student Union and the rotunda of Strong Hall, according to Richard Gillespie, Topeka junior, and general manager of the drive.
The drive is a campus activity sponsored jointly by the Inter-fraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and Alpha Phil Ontega, service fraternity, to supply underprivileged children in this area with toys at Christmas.
Organized houses have been urged to have a party where toys would be exchanged as gifts and later turn them over to the toy drive. Another suggestion is that the organized houses have parties for the underprivileged children in Lawrence.
Visits Pharmacy School
Dr. Chester E. Poetsch, pharmaceutical research head at Smith, Kline and French of Philadelphia, Pa., visited the School of Pharmacy Monday and Tuesday. He inspected facilities and research programs, and talked with graduate students in pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry.
Campus Chest Sets Relief Drive
The average American uses more than 25 pounds of cotton per year. World average is 3.4 pounds.
The campus chest will begin an emergency fund drive this week to net $500 to be distributed through the World University Service to riot-stricken Hungarian students.
This drive is being held to make KU students a part of the free world's rally to meet the needs of Hungarian students. Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Mo., junior, in charge of the drive, said.
A letter from students of Graz University in Austria to Yale students is representative of pleas for action.
Snontaneous Following
"We, the students of Graz University, have founded a big union to assist our fighting friends in Hungary. Spontaneously, the students of all nationalities studying at our university followed our invitation; so did the other universities of Austria, Switzerland and Germany."
The letter tells of their all-out efforts. Their funds have now been spent and they are asking for help for the Hungarians.
"The liberty of a country depends on it. We are in constant connection with our Hungarian colleagues and the Red Cross." They, the WUS and students near the border of Hungary will work to distribute any relief to the students of Budapest "who are losing their blood in the fight for freedom."
2 Ways to Contribute
Students may make contributions in two ways. The Student Union Bookstore will pay dividends on reate slips or register receipts. Boxes for these slips will be set up in each organized house, at the Jayhawk Boulevard information booth and other undetermined prominent spots Varnum said.
Those who want to contribute cash may drop it in the same boxes. A collection will also be taken at the Northwestern-Kansas basketball game Monday. he said

This is the second season of the Children's Theatre, which was established after successful presentations of last year.
Miss Six has cast four junior high and high school students as the hero and heroine. They will alternate in the roles to eliminate the strain of four successive performances in three days.
"However, we find that it is impossible to have too much rehearsal because children are the most critical audience an actor can face. They are quick to sense any false note or mistakes and are eager to let you
A larger campus chest drive in spring will provide more funds for this project. A steering committee is being chosen to lead this drive and the one in spring.
