KU Graduates Tie Knot With Proxy Marriage
A romance that began on a KU-Y sponsored trip to Mexico in the spring of 1956 was climaxed Tuesday when two former KU students, Virginia Ann Miller, 22, and Hector Correa Polit, 28, were married by proxy in Kansas City, Mo.
The new Mrs. Corrae was graduated from KU last spring with a bachelor of science degree in business administration, and until two weeks ago worked as secretary to Russell Wiley, director of the KU band. As a student, she lived at Miller Hall.
Mr. Correa Polit received a master of arts degree in mathematics from the University in the spring of 1956. He went to Madrid, Spain to study, returning to the United States in the fall of 1957. He is now working as a statistician for the Ecuadorian government
The new bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nyle Miller of Topeka. Her father is secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society.
Dr. Jaime Polit, a staff member of the Kansas State Hospital at Osawatomi and first cousin of the groom, stood with Miss Miller at the ceremony. Four other Ecuadorians and the bride's parents and 5-year-old sister Janis were present.
The wedding took place five hours later than originally scheduled because of complications with six sets of legal papers, which the bride-to-be typed, copied, and signed.
Mrs. Correia decided on the proxy marriage after hearing that it would be complicated to enter Ecuador unless she was married.

Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Watkins Hall were awarded trophies Wednesday night as organized house winners of the 3-part speech contest held during the last three weeks

Ehrlich, who got a total of 15 points in the entire contest, collected all the points for Battenfeld Hall, which finished fourth.

KU Rich In Art Treasures But Lacking In Space
A conservative estimate of the value of the art collections at the University of Kansas is from $250,000 to $500,000, according to Edward A. Maser, director of the Museum of Art.
But Mr. Maser warned that the approach to the value of works of art should not necessarily be a monetary one.
"One judges works of art by their
Coffee Out, Lemonade In
If the weather man doesn't go completely berserk it won't be long until lemonade puts the squeeze on coffee during the mid morning breaks in Strong Hall basement.
Coffee will still be served when the temperature climbs, but Kevin A. Remick, KU concessions manager, expects the big stir to be at the cold drink stands.
Selling cold drinks will be something new for the concessions this semester. Coffee has been sold both at Strong and Marvin halls for three semesters.
Jesse L. Pacheco, manager of the morning concessions, said they are planning to sell lemonade only in Strong, but there is a possibility that there will be a demand for it in Marvin, too.
"Lemonade is the most popular summer drink at the Union, but if there's a demand for limestone the stands will sell it too." Remick said.

beauty, rarity, and value in the history of culture," he said.
He explained that monetary values are unsure in terms of works of art.
Value Changes
"Prices change from year to year." Mr. Maser said, "Something costing very little one year might be worth 10 times as much the next. In times of depression, the value goes down. Paintings our grandparents thought were tremendous are now a dime a dozen. It's very hard to determine the exact value."
Lack of Space
The KU collections are insured, he said. "But if a painting is destroyed, we would get only money for it." A work of art is priceless and almost always irreplaceable."
"Some of the works of art in the museum come from unusual places," he said. "For instance, a pair of 18th century German statues of Cosmas and Damian, two saints, were found in an antique dealers'
Asked if the museum would ever run out of space, Mr. Maser said, "We have run out of space already and are terribly overcrowded. We're very short on work, storage, and office space and are hoping to work out a more practical arrangement. You might say we're in the 'hopeful planning' stage."
barn in the state of Maine," he explained.
One of the most famous items in the museum is the statue of the Madonna and Child by the German sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider, which came from the Prince Leichenstein collection, he said.
The museum also has two bronze reliefs from a set of four by Massimiluco Seldani-Benzi, who lived from 1656 to 1740, one of the most important sculptors of the Florentine Late Baroque periods. The only other two sets known are in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, Germany, and in the collections of the Queen of England in Windsor Castle.
Two Can Live Cheaply As 1?
Can two really live cheaper than one, as the adage goes? Or is it just a saying with no practical basis? Three out of four members of the home economics department said it is "just not true."
One department member, who wished to remain anonymous, seemed to summarize the consensus of those disagreeing with the statement. "It is just a lot of baloney unless one wants to live on halirations and starve," this member said. "From what people have told me, it just can't be done."
"I have seen studies that in effect report that, where other things are equated, two can live for at least two-thirds the expense that it would cost them to"live separately," Dr. Bee said.
Dr. Lawrence S. Bee, professor of home economics and sociology, was the only department member questioned who had anything encouraging to say about the matter.
"One of the big factors of living separately is rent," Dr. Bee explained. "When rent can be combined, several persons can live together more cheaply than each can live separately."
At least it's worth considering.
He said that this is also true of doing laundry and cooking together. Food, room, and utilities are cheaper for two than for one." he said. "Two TV sets for persons living separately would cost more than for two persons living together. The cost of heating a room is cheaper for two together than for one, and two owning one car is cheaper than each owning a car separately."
Kansas was named after a tribe of Sioux Indians, the "people of the south winds."
