MOTHER TO 200—Mrs. Forrest Gifford, housemother at Carruth-O'Leary Hall, doesn't think regulated quiet hours are necessary. However, she is concerned with the students' academic life. (Daily Kansan photo)
Houseparents Find Job Challenging
A petite young woman finds that being housemother for 200 men is an interesting and challenging job.
Mrs. Forrest Gifford, resident director of Carruth-O'Leary Hall, shares the responsibilities with her husband, Forrest Gifford, Waverly senior. Don Horttor, Centerville second-year law student, and six floor counselors who are chosen by the University, assist the Giffords.
When asked the residents' most common complaint, Mrs. Gifford said that the major complaints were few and that they would be the same no matter where the individual lived.
"Why don't you ever put mail in my box?" is the most frequent comment made," said Mrs. Gifford who has the job of sorting and distributing hundreds of pieces of mail daily.
Although Mrs. Gifford does not have to buy or assist in the preparation of food, she keeps in close touch with Miss Carrie Davis, a trained dietitian in charge of the kitchen.
"Regulated quiet hours and study hall's shouldn't be necessary." Mrs. Gifford said. "But our main concern is that the students don't forget the academic side of the University while enjoying their social life."
India Books On Display
A collection of books on life in India and pieces of Indian artwork are now displayed on the second floor of Watson Library.
The books were purchased with two $200 gifts from the Watumull Foundation, a philanthropic organization to aid intercultural exchanges with India. The display is in celebration of Indian Republic Day, Jan. 26.
The exhibition was arranged by P. G. Rao, library assistant from Wailair, India. Mr. Rao came to the United States from India in September 1955, received his masters degree in library science from the University of Minnesota in December 1956, and is now in the library cataloging department.
The art work in the exhibit belongs to Mr. Rao and other Indian students on the campus. Included are money purses and brass plates.
KU, K-State Game Sold Out
The big game of the year with the Kansas State Wildcats Feb. 3 in Allen Field House, has been a sellout for almost a month, athletics business manager Earl Falkenstien said today.
A capacity crowd of 17,000 fans will be on hand, and many hundreds more have been unsuccessful in attempting to get tickets, he said.
Mr. Falkenstien said the Iowa State game Feb. 15 should also be a sellout, but there are still about 300-400 tickets remaining.
The Nebraska game, since it is on a Saturday night, Feb. 8, could also be a sellout, Mr. Falkenstien said.
He said the Missouri game, Feb. 17, and the Oklahoma game, March 1, will have large or small crowds depending on how MU and OU are faring in the conference later in the season.
Library Open Until 10 p.m. On Saturday
Watson Library will remain open until 10 p.m. Saturday for students studying for finals. The library will follow the regular schedule throughout final week.
Differences which came to light last week between a faculty member and the ASC are well on the way to being resolved.
The building will be open on the following vacation schedule from Jan. 25 to Feb. 2:
Saturdays—8 a.m.-noon
The differences were aired last Wednesday when Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, criticized the "junkets" by "campus politicians" to out of town meetings while neglecting existing campus organizations.
Week days—8 a.m.-5 p.m.
ASC, Ketzel Make Up
In a recent year 18 million fishermen and 15 million hunters bought licenses in the United States, notes a Twentieth Century Fund survey.
Now Dr. Ketzel has been chosen as a member of a 9-man committee to explore the feasibility of a Big Eight student conference on national and international affairs. At a meeting of Big Eight student council representatives over the holidays, KU was asked to set up such a committee to explore the possibility of such a meeting on the KU campus.
Ed Prelock, senior, Cleveland, Ohio, was one of the two University students who attended the Student Council on National Affairs meeting at Texas A&M, College Station, Tex., last month. It was the trip to this meeting that was criticized by Dr. Ketzel. The day after the criticism was published Prelock and Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo., junior, chairman of the All Student Council, talked to Dr. Ketzel.
"We felt Dr. Ketzel had some good constructive criticism." Prelock said. "We also felt that a person of his caliber could be a great deal of help to us." Prelock said.
Members of the committee will be Ketzel, Prelock and Patterson; L.C. Woodruff, dean of students; Raymond F. Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor; John H. Patton, professor of religion and ASC adviser and Dick Lewis, Kansas City, Kan. junior, KU's other representative to the SCONA meeting.
Prelock said they also hope to get the presidents of the International Club and Foreign Affairs Club to be committee members.
Patterson said the outlook for such a program was good. He said that when the idea was presented to the Big Eight school representatives at Kansas City they were "very favorable towards it."
"The representatives passed a resolution that KU set up a committee to look into the possibility of such a Big Eight conference, then report to the Big Eight schools." Patterson said.
The committee will look into the possibilities of inviting various
nationally known speakers to University convocations.
Prelock said the committee will draw up a list of names of national figures they would like to hear at convocations.
