THEY'RE REALLY GUNG-HO—These three members of the Epps family of Topeka are all attending KU. Mrs. Margaret Epps (center) is a graduate student, her daughter Margaret is a sophomore in education, and her son George is a freshman in engineering.
Don't Like To Write Home? Bring Family With You
Going to school with your family has its advantages. At least Margaret L. Epps, Topeka sophomore and one of three members of the Epps family at the University thinks so.
Margaret, or Peggy, as she prefers to be called, goes to school with her mother (also Margaret), a graduate student, and her brother, George, a freshman.
Mrs. Epps, sometimes mistaken for Peggy's sister, has a bachelor of science degree in physical education and is doing graduate work in vocational guidance. Peggy plans to follow her mother's course of study.
"Now Mother is taking some of the same courses I will be taken." Peggy said. "She's sure giving me a good preview of the professors," she confided.
George, a 6-foot, 3-inch redhead, is studying engineering, the profession of his father. George and Peggy said choosing the same fields as their parents was not the result of any "pushing."
"Same Kind of People"
"We just happened to be the same kind of people." Peggy explained.
Not having to write letters home is one advantage of going to school with your mother, Peggy said. She confessed she really couldn't decide which was better—school with or without her mother.
"Ive never been to college when she wasn't there too, so I really don't know!" she explained with a laugh.
With part of the Epps family at the University, some adjustments have been made at the home.
Weekly Housework Schedule
A younger brother and sister have a weekly schedule of housework to do. A grandmother insists on doing the family ironing as her "contribution to the Epps education." Mr. Epps, a civil engineer for the Kansas Highway Department, willingly does dishes and washes clothes. The college-going members of the family work besides attending school. Mrs. Epps teaches physical education at Seaman High School. George, a Tau Kappa Epsilon pledge, washes dishes at the fraternity, and Peggy, a scholarship hall resident, does a daily house shift.

Safety, Not Hot Rods, Mark Jayhawk Sport Car Club
A group of KU sport car enthusiasts, with similar interests in foreign sport cars, car races, and driving in general, brought about the formation of the Jayhawk Sport Car Club last February.
Attempts are made to screen out individuals who are chronic law breakers and the like. Membership in the club now totals 34, including four women.
There are about 20 cars in the club now. Sheldon said. Included are 4 American stock models (Studebaker, Ford, Chevrolet, and Nash Rambler), and 13 foreign sport cars, American sport cars, and several special built cars. Sport cars include MG, Triumph, Austin-Healy, Jaguar, Porsche, Volkswagen, Alfa-Romeo, Hillman, Corvette, Thunderbird and Mercedes-Benes.
The purpose of the club is to promote safe driving, develop good driving skills, and have fun. Joe Sheldon, Lawrence senior and president of the club said.
Activities of the club include rallies, precision driving events, and an annual car display at the time of the Engineering Exposition. Precision driving events stress the ability of the person to handle a car on the open road, in a tight spot, and driving skill in general.
"This is not to be confused with a hot rod club. Members have a mature interest in foreign sport cars, or American cars, and safety is stressed." Sheldon added.
A new activity being worked out by the club is a rally with the sport car club from Oklahoma A&M.
A member doesn't have to have a car to join the club. Anyone with an interest in cars, especially sport cars, can be a member.
Rising Enrollment Brings Problems
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—(IP)—Department heads of the University of Tennessee's College of Liberal Arts have predicted in a survey that colleges will soon face an alarming teacher shortage which will do "irreparable" damage to higher education.
The survey is an effort to face problems of rising enrollments before they get completely out of hand. The study called for greater attention to scholastic standards so there will be a minimum of wasted teacher time in repeating courses, making arrangements for late enrollees, or struggling with students not interested in learning.
"All are agreed that a good salary scale would give the University advantage in a highly competitive market," the report stated.

Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, received one of three life membership awards made by the Kansas Health, Physical Education and Recreation Assn. at its meeting in Salina last weekend.
She is a nationally rated official in hockey, basketball and volleyball and was chosen an honorary national basketball official and judge. While attending Columbia University, she played on the New York hockey team and was selected to the second all-American hockey team.
Miss Hoover holds an A.B. degree from the University of Illinois and an M.A. degree from Columbia University. She has maintained membership in numerous professional organizations, including the Kansas association which honored her; the American Assn. for Health, Physical Education and Recreation for which she served as Kansas representative to the council; the Central and National Assn. for Physical Education for College Women; the National Section on Girls' and Women's Sports; and the Women's National Official Rating Committee.
The citation accompanying the award reads "Miss Hoover possesses unusual ability both as a performer and as a teacher in a wide variety of physical activities. This combination makes Miss Hoover recognized as one of the outstanding instructors in college women's physical education. Countless students at the University of Kansas have profited from and owe much to this highly efficient教师."
Don Henry, assistant professor of physical education at K.U., was named vice president of the association.
