Machines Make Sewing Other Chores Easy
If you are interested in sewing, stop in at the clothing laboratory 114 Fraser, and see the new self-contained sewing units.
Since there are four different makes of these units, students will have an opportunity to pick out ones they like. The display will show the student how she can organize her sewing equipment so that it will be convenient and time-saving.
High school teachers may examine the units so that they can determine classroom sewing needs.
All of the sewing units contain sewing machine heads which recede into tables. One also contains an ironing board. One unit has a cork top which provides a good cutting surface and tracing wheels may be used directly on surface. Damp fabrics may be pinned to it when trying to
it without fear of damaging the straighten them. The other units have formica tops.
Miss Muriel H. Johnson, instructor of home economics, said it is much easier to teach in a classroom which has self-contained clothing units because there is less movement and better use of students' and teachers' time.
Miss Johnson has done special work on self-contained clothing units and has spoken and written magazine articles about them.
She points out that foods classes began using a unit plan several years ago but there are still not very many clothing classes used them.

"No Time For Sergeants" was a best-selling novel by Mac Hyman. The play was written by Ira Levin. It will be directed by Morton Da Costa, who directed the Broadway play.

"Our main obstacles were mosquitoes and mud," said Dr. G. W. Byers, assistant professor of entomology, in recalling the latest of the annual KU summer entomological expeditions.
Alaskan Mosquitoes, Mud Give Trouble
This year the group journeyed to Alaska. Dr. Byers said the Alcan Highway mud and the ever-present mosquitoes were factors that made the trip more difficult, but at the same time more exciting.
The group, which left Lawrence June 5th and returned July 17th, was comprised of Dr. Byers: Richard W. Fredrickson, Carbondale, Ill.; Floyd W. Preston, Lawrence, and Monte L. Schauffer, Kansas City, Mo.
Ten days were spent in McKinley National Park and seven days on the Kenai Pennisula in eastern Alaska and western Canada. In that time they collected 15,000 insect specimens for Show Museum.
Dr. Byers stated that another purpose of the trip was to teach the group field entomological methods. Many pictures also were taken of
Alaskan wildlife.
"While Lawrence was sweltering in usual summer temperatures, we were enjoying 50 to 70 degree daytime and 35 degree nighttime temperatures," remarked Dr. Byers.
