WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS A HAIRCUT—So says Brad Sheafer, Topeka junior, who has found that Nadine Harrison, Topeka freshman, can give just as good haircuts as the professionals, especially since barber shop prices have sky-rocketed.
Remodeling Begun On Vacated Rooms
This job was undertaken by the KU Buildings and Grounds department and is still in progress.
The migration of many University personnel to the new music and dramatic arts building creates the mountainous job of remodeling the vacated space and adapting it to new uses.
Vacated this summer are 21 offices in Strong Hall and 4 in Hoch Auditorium. 4 classrooms in Strong, 34 practice rooms in Strong and Hoch and the auditoriums in Strong, Fraser Hall and Green Hall.
Remodeling work was delayed during the summer session and band camp because the areas were in use.
"A very remarkable job has been done by the buildings and grounds department in modifying these vacated spaces." Keith Lawton, administrative assistant for operations, said.
Tearing out partitions in practice room areas made more classroom space, most of this being in the basement and on the first and third floors of Strong Hall.
The design department will take over much of the space on the third floor of Strong and the registrar's office will expand into rooms across the hall from its present location.
Two classrooms were gained at the west end of the first floor in Strong. As soon as work is completed across the hall from the business office in Strong the business office will expand into those rooms. The Alumni Assn. will move to that section also.
The Endowment Assn. and the office of the Dean of Students will gain more space in the area now occupied by the Alumni Assn.
Endowment Assn. Gains
The housing office will move to the basement of Strong and the space will be used by the offices of the Dean of Women. Aids and Awards and the Public Relations.
In Hoch Auditorium space formerly used for practice rooms for music students has been converted into research space and special projects cubicles. Faculty members on short-term research projects will use these rooms.
Fraser Theater has been modified and will be used as a lecture room. Offices in Fraser formerly used for dramatics personnel, will be taken over by the Department of Latin and Greek.
Any student interested in taking School of Business job interviews should attend an orientation meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Strong Auditorium.
Placement Bureau To Hold Exams
Green Hall will now be used exclusively by the Law School. The Dean's office in the School of Law has been enlarged, and the Law Review has moved to the first floor. New offices for law faculty members are also now available in Green. A court room for law students is being made out of the former Little Theater.
Services of the placement bureau job-getting techniques, availability of jobs and procedures will be explained.
KU may truly be a school of "long hairs" this year.
The first firm to schedule interviews will be at the University Oct 3.
A. F. Knapper, assistant professor of secretarial training and business administration, is director of the bureau. Mrs. Donna Brummett is placement secretary.
This change will not come about because of a greater degree of appreciation for classical music, however. The situation must be attributed to the fact that Lawrence barbers have raised their prices for haircuts to an all-time high, $1.50 for a crewsut and $1.75 for a flattop.
Directory Needs Club List
Addresses and telephone numbers of presidents of all organizations are needed for the Student Directory. Presidents should give this information to Mrs. Catherine Brand in the office of the dean of students, 228 Strong.
A small segment of the University's male students have attempted to find a way to get their curly locks chopped off without visiting the barber shop. Those who do visit the barber do so less frequently than they did before the prices were raised.
Ambitious men in the organized houses are bringing their sheep shears out of retirement. They figure they can work their way through school by cutting their friends' hair for a dollar a head. As yet, most of the students receiving this type of haircut have been afraid to leave the confines of their house.
Consequently, if Joe College becomes a bushy-haired individual with long sideburns instead of the clean shaven, crew cut specimen we once knew, there is no great cause for alarm. It is the haircut prices which are to blame, not the Elvis Presley craze.
Downtown Lawrence stores are hurriedly stocking up on do it yourself haircutting kits. None guarantees a perfect job as yet but for $1.75 a person can spend a lot of his time cutting.
Truck Backs Into Auto
Weather
Fair to partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday with a few afternoon showers northwest portion Wednesday. Warmer east portion tonight. Cooler northwest Wednesday. Low tonight 55 to 65. High Wednesday 70 northwest to 80s elsewhere.
The car of Stephen H. Hill, Lawrence junior, received damages estimated at $15 to the hood when a truck backed into it Monday after- ooon.
KU police said the truck, driven by L. A. Stevens, Lawrence, was making a delivery to the Student Union and was backing up into the loading dock behind the building. The truck backed into Hill's car, which was coming down the drive. Hill said he had stopped his car when he saw the truck backing up.
Field House Gets New Parking Lights
Four new sidewalk lights have been constructed across from the new music and dramatic arts building beside the sidewalk bordering Nalsmith Road.
The lights, built by the department of buildings and grounds, are about three feet high and look like silver mushrooms.
C. C. Bayles, superintendent of the department of buildings and grounds, said the lights will help persons parking in the parking lot alongside the new building and Allen Field House.
Bookstore Rebates To Be Given Sept. 20
The Student Union Bookstore will offer a 10 per cent cash rebate on cash register receipts beginning Sept. 20. Receipts from periods 12 through 21 will be accepted, J. J. Newcomb, bookstore manager said.
An amount in excess of $50,000 was refunded to bookstore patrons for periods 20 and 21, Mr. Newcomb added.
Students Hear Of Traditions
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy administered the oath of allegiance of the University to 500 new KU students at the traditions convocation Monday in Hoch Auditorium and Memorial Stadium.
Business School Convocation Is Thursday
The School of Business will hold the first of a series of convocations at 4 p.m., Thursday, in Strong Auditorium.
"We think of it as an introduction. I want a chance to meet the students and to introduce the faculty," said James R. Surface, dean of the School of Business.
Dean Surface will speak briefly at the convocation on the challenge of business administration.
The officers of four business school organizations. Business School Assn., Marketing Club, Society for the Advancement of Management, and Accounting Club, will describe the programs of their clubs this year. Four scholastic awards will also be made.
Dean Surface hopes this introductory convocation will be an annual event. The other convocations during the year will probably feature prominent figures in the business world.
Painting Wins $400 Award
"We hope that prebusiness students will feel free to attend this convocation," Dean Surface said
Lois Ann Van Liew, Lawrence sophomore, won a $400 scholarship award in the art department of the Kansas Free Fair, held in Topeka last week. Her painting was a landscape in water color.
Traditions Committee members in a skit at Hoch answered questions of a freshman about University symbols, the Jayhawk, school colors, and the alma mater.
Chancellor Murphy said the burning torch symbolized the continuing work of the University in the fight for world freedom.
Chancellor Murphy and Lawrence C. Woodruff, dean of students, spoke at the stadium induction ceremonies. Chancellor Murphy explained why a torch was carried by runners from the Rock Chalk Monument below the campanile to the speakers' platform where the torch was handed to representatics of the various classes.
Dr. Woodruff told the students of the origin and meaning of the University seal.
