He likes people and flies
Social chairman tells all
- By JOHN KIELY
If he stood up, turned sideways and stuck out his tongue, he'd look like a zipper.
But Bob Stewart, Sharon Hill, Pa., junior, doesn't often do that. Quite often, however, he does sit down, cross his legs and bend his arms. Then he somewhat resembles a pretzel.
Q: How have you arranged their lives so far?
A: We threw 'em in a barn once and shook 'em up a little, and we've thrown 'em in the cafeteria a couple of times and pretty soon we're going to throw 'em in the Knights of Columbus Hall in Topeka and I guess they can shake themselves up.
Q: AS SOCIAL chairman of the largest and only co-educational University residence hall, what are you doing?
A: Just arranging the social lives of 900 people.
AND SOMEDAY we've got to have a lawn party.
Q: On McCollum's lawn?
A: No. You can't have liquor on state property. You know, this is a bad messed up state you got here.
He somewhat resembled a pretzel in his confused McCollum Hall room when he was cornered and questioned.
Q: Is it easier to direct social activities at McCollum than at the other halls?
A: It's easier. You see, more people get dates, and especially the ones who get dates from here are more apt to come to our party.
ALSO IT'S EASIER because we don't come under ASC (All Student Council) regulations. They're talking about things that take place with people other than dorm residents.
We finally decided that anything that's spontaneous you don't have to register.
Q: Your resident director, Jon Howell, has called this co-educational hall "an experiment." Is it?
A: It's an experiment. And if everything goes over well here, and I think it will, while the other dorms may not become coeducational, there's a good chance McColum will remain this way.
O: IS McCOLLUM united?
A: Yes. The scholarship hall community had this chance, but it's not exploited. They had the small mixed community first. They had a chance to do what we're doing. They should have organized something between the men's and women's scholarship halls.
We beat them to the punch. We started out with two separate governments. We still have them—but they meet together.
Sometimes the size of a scholarship hall puts a cramp in your style. If you go into something big, like Rock Chalk, you have to have at least 75 per cent participation. And you really can't get it, because a lot of people over there want to spend that extra time studying or researching.

HERE WE COULD do about anything we wanted to. We've got the manpower.
Why, at one time, I was considering taking the social fund and buying Ellsworth Hall and turning it into a parking garage.
A: Well, men and women's funds together, about $5,000. They aren't kept together though. They have expenses like AWS (Associated Women Students) dinners, that we don't have.
Q: That sounds expensive. How much money do you have?
A: GENERALLY WE appoint one boy and one girl. That way they can get help from both sides and they're united from the start.
Q: You have some things planned, like getting the Christmas tree for your lobby. How do you go about these tasks?
Q: As social chairman you make these activities run. What makes you run?
A: I have more fun doing a little bit of a lot of things than I would knowing almost everything about one thing. So I keep dabbling in things like Rock Chalk, basketball, theatre, NSF (National Science Foundation). I even tried track once.
Q: YOU DID ALMOST a thousand jobs on McCollum's Rock Chalk, last year, just appeared as the world's best dressed stage hand in "The Rehearsal," and are compiling crane fly data for NSF. Why so much?
Q: What do you mean?
A: Noveltv.
A: I might get bored with doing one thing. Also, I'm trying to be able to talk intelligently to anybody about anything.
A: Because people are probably the most interesting things to be around. Intelligent conversation, that's a sort of by-product. A very worth while one.
Q: Why talk?
Q: Not doubting your interest in people for an instant, the question remains: with that interest why take a bachelor's in entomology and plan on pursuing your doctorate?
A: I M NOT limited to insects.
It's a field where you meet people from all over the place. If I wind up working in crane flies there are about 25 people working in that area and they probably come from about 15 different places.
But that travel and meeting people is important. A chemist isn't likely to go to someone else's lab in Switzerland and see how he does an experiment. He can find out by writing a letter, or maybe even, by reading it in a journal. But when you want to see an insect, people can't exactly tell you what it looks like. Sometimes you'll find things that will change your opinion just by looking at it.
And I find myself attaching human characteristics to insects, which may be kind of wierd.
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI)— Pleasure-boat fires have caused almost $1.5 million damage in the past two years, according to the Coast Guard. The improper installation and use of galley stoves was the chief cause.

BIG WATER PROJECT
FRESNO, Calif. — (UPI)—The Central Valley Project, a system of dams and canals to store and distribute water from California reservoirs, provides enough water to irrigate 3,757,000 acres of central California farmland.
BOAT FIRES
In entomology, of necessity, you have to meet people. You have to travel around and collect specimens.
You can't shelve things in chemistry or physics like you can shelve a tray of insects. They're so temporal.
