Jewelry Students Must Study Styles
DO-IT-YOURSELF—These jewelry and silversmithing students are learning to design and make their own jewelry and are receiving credit also.
Students in jewelry and silversmithing are avid followers of the latest clothing styles so the jewelry they make will complement those fashions.
"The bulky, knit sweaters women are wearing really present a problem to the jewelry designer," Ronald Hickman, Lawrence graduate assistant in silversmithing and jewelry, said. "It is difficult to design jewelry which looks good with this type of sweater.
Students learn to make simple pieces of jewelry in the beginning courses using primarily sterling silver.
"After the basic fundamentals are learned there is no limit to how far a student can go," Mr. Hickman said.
KU graduates in jewelry and silversmiths are scattered over many fields. Some are teaching in high schools and colleges and a few are working for nationally known silversmiths.
Condon Kuhl, Beloit graduate of 1956 is working for Frederick Miller of Cleveland, Ohio, an internationally known silversmith. Kuhl won first place in the silversmithing division of the Kansas Designer Creatswan Show now on display in the Student Union.
Grads Everywhere
The Kansas University was the first university to offer a degree in jewelry and silversmithing. From 12 to 15 majors in jewelry and silversmithing are usually enrolled.
Lee Horeman, a former student, is part owner and jeweler of a Lawrence jewelry shop. The shop does special order work for customers and other jewelers, and carries a limited line of commercial jewelry.
"The jewelry and silversmithing department located in Bailey Annex is better equipped than a lot of the special order jewelry firms operating throughout the country," Mr Hickman said.
Sign Puts Cramps On Canine Tramps
A notice has been posted on the front door of Snow Hall, which says:
"Dogs are not allowed in Snow Fall. Any dog found in the building will be reported to the pound for collection. Please cooperate."
Someone couldn't resist writing beneath the sign, "Dogs who can read please take notice."
Jewelry made by students is displayed in a case in Bailey Annex. A display is also maintained in the Student Union. Student work is now being shown in the Kansas Designer Craftsmans Show which is on display in the Student Union.
Some students and faculty members have material entered in the Fiber, Clay and Metal Show. St. Paul, Minn., and in the Missouri Show. St. Louis, which are currently being judged.

A new United States Public Health Service Grant of $2,000 to the University of Kansas is being used for preliminary research concerning tumors and cancer.
The project is directed by Herold Barrett, associate professor of biochemistry. The grant was obtained for synthesis and testing of antimetabolites of pyrimidines. Pyrimidines are part of the cell structure needed for synthesizing protein.
"The basic idea in tumor or cancer work is to find some agent to keep the cell from growing and dividing." Prof. Barret said, "If we can prevent a cell from handling pyrimidines in its normal fashion, then the cell can't grow and divide as normal." \*
Grant Given For Cancer
Preliminary tests are made by adding one of the antimetabolites to surviving tissue which can metabolize normal pyrimidines at a known rate.
Herbert A. Smith, professor of education, will speak to groups at the Kansas State Teachers Assn. meeting Nov. 7-8 in Topeka.
Educator To Speak To KSTA
"When an antimetabolite is found which will stop the cell growth it may be one that would stop cancer growth, but it might also be dangerous to a normal cell." Prof. Barrett said.

THE PARTY WEEK END:
ITS CAUSE AND CURE
With the season of party weekends almost upon us, my mail of late has been flooded with queries from young inmates of women's colleges wishing to know how one conducts one's self when one has invited a young gentleman for a weekend. This morning, for example, there were more than 30,000 letters, each containing a lock of hair. I gave the hair to a bombsight maker and the lanolin to a dry sheep of my acquaintance, and I turned instantly to the question: How should a young lady deport herself when she has asked a young gentleman to be her guest at a party weekend?
Well, my dear girls, the first thing to remember is that your young gentleman is far from home and frightened. Put him at his ease. You might, for instance, surprise him by having his mother sitting in a rocker on the station platform when he gets off the train.
Next, what kind of corsage should you send your young gentleman? Well, my beloved maidens, orchids are always acceptable.
If you find, my esteemed fillies, that your local florist has run out of stock, do not be dismayed. Make a corsage out of paper. But pick good, stiff, durable paper—twenty dollar bills, for example.
Remember at all times, my fond wenches, to show your young gentleman courtesy and consideration. Open doors for him, walk on the traffic side of the path, assist him to the punch bowl, zip his parka, light his Marlboros. (What, you ask, if he doesn't smoke Marlboros? Ridiculous, my precious nymphs! Of course, he smokes Marlboros! Don't you? Don't I? Doesn't everybody who knows a hawk from a handsaw?? What other cigarette gives you such a lot to like? Such filter? Such flavor? Such flip-top box? No other, my sweet minxes, no other. Marlboro stands alone, and any man worthy of you, my estimable damsels, is bound to be a Marlboro man.)
If you will follow the simple instructions stated above, my good lasses, you will find that you have turned your young gentleman into a fast and fervent admirer. There is nothing quite like a party weekend to promote romance.
I am in mind of a party weekend some years ago at Miss Pomfritt's Seminary for Genteel Chicks in West Linotype, Ohio. Serafina Sigafoos, a sophomore at this institution, majoring in napkin folding, sent an invitation to a young man named Fafnir Valve, a junior at the Joyce Kilmer School of Forestry, majoring in sap and boles.
Anyhow, Serafina sent an invitation to Fafnir, and he came, and she showered him with kindness and cuff links, and then he went away, and Serafina sat anxiously by the mailbox, wondering whether she would ever hear from him again. Sure enough, two weeks later she got a letter: "Dear Serafina, Can you let me have fifty bucks? Yours, Fafnir."
Whimpering with ecstacy, she ran to the bank and withdrew the money and mailed it to him. From then on, she got the same request every week, and as a result, she became very well acquainted with Ralph T. Involute, teller of the West Linotype Bank and Trust Co., and their friendship ripened into love, and today they are happily married and live in Stamen, Oregon, where Ralph is in the extruded molasses game and Serafina is a hydrant.
