Pets Galore- Stuffed That Is
What would you do if you'd wake up in the morning and see a monkey on the window sill? You'd roll over, curse the midnight snack and go back to sleep? Women in KU dormitories and sorority houses wouldn't.
They'd jump out of bed, call the monkey by name and turn to greet the octopus on the bureau. Such a morning is just routine for the women who've been waking in menageries ever since they came to school.

Miss Engler said the pets are not only used for decorations, but that women consider them as companions and really have a sentimental attachment to them.
Most house rules forbid the women to have pets, but that doesn't keep them from harboring stuffed animals. Women in most KU houses have an average of at least one animal, but freshman women average three or four apeice
Each of the 30 women on the sixth floor of North College Hall has an average of four pets. The animals include a black and pink poodle named Snooty (he has a crooked nose), a little white dog called Donaroen, a fuzzy tiger and a humpty-dumpty doll.
Every morning the pets are gathered up from their overnight nests, dens or kennels and left to decorate the dormitory beds. The pets, ranging from jungle animals to Jayhawkers, are usually gifts from boy friends or relatives. Often a favorite childhood teddy bear gets the favored spot on the middle of the bed.
Real Companions
Gretchen Engler, Hutchinson junior, said the women in Miller Hall "usually bring some kind of an old pet from home." Most of the animals are small, but there is a "waist high" monkey and a snuoozing tiger about three feet long.
Most of the women name the pets after the person who gave them or the place they were bought. Alfonso Aloysius Charlamain Champaign, an eight inch black and white poodle at the Sigma Kappa house got his name "out of the blue" six years ago. Betty Gene White, Mission

Miss White said she had eight animals last year, but she took most of them home because they "got in the way." She said it is really a problem to move them when school is out. It is common to see lots of pets during the first semester, but by the time spring vacation comes, the women find they don't have room for them and take them home.

One of the pets at the Gamma Phi Beta house is a rubber shelled turtle about the size of a big snapping turtle. It was a gift to one of the women who had a live turtle that died.
