Laundry Rooms Washed Out; Women Move In Temporarily
By Susan Tichacek
Normally one thinks of a laundry room as being used for a place to wash out clothes, iron, and perhaps pop popcorn in, but-not any more.
Because of a shortage of housing for upperclass women at KU the laundry rooms in Hashinger Hall have been converted to living quarters for 23 girls.
Bunk beds, mirrors, desks, and dressers were brought into these rooms, which are somewhat smaller than normal rooms, to make them liveable. At first there was some doubt among the administration how this plan would work out. In general, however, it has been successful, according to Miss Mary Watson, resident director.
"THERE WERE A few technical difficulties at first," Miss Libby Delp, assistant resident director, said. "The girls didn't have their own mailboxes or intercom, but everyone's cooperating and things are fine."

The laundry rooms were opened for habitation when late dormitory contracts appeared at the Dean of Women's office. "These girls couldn't have come to school this semester if we hadn't found
Living quarters for them in the laundry rooms." Miss Watson said.
All the girls on the waiting lists were notified of the temporary conditions they would be living in before they came back to school. "Most of the parents were thrilled because their daughters could come back to school," Miss Delp said. "In general, the laundry rooms have proved to be more popular than the triple rooms in Lewis Hall."
GETTING CAUGHT between the closet and room door presents a problem to Bonnie Ward, Denver, Colo. senior. "Also the girls keep coming in my room to wash their feet in my big sink," she said.
Mary Kay Amoneno, Shawnee Mission junior, said she likes the rooms "very much." "It's different than everyone else's room—you've got something unique," she added. "There is a big closet and lots of cabinet space so there's more space than normal."

"Terrific" was the word Connie Bohannon, Leawood junior, used to describe laundry-room living. "We definitely want to stay here—we really love it. The only bad thing is that since we don't have an intercom it inconveniences other girls who have to come to tell us when we have a phone call or caller in the lobby."

IN GENERAL the girls approve of their situations. Some don't ever want to move, but others, however, want to move the first chance they get. Zola Flowers, Oklahoma City, Okla., sophomore, and Myrtis McFarland, Hattiesburg, Miss., junior agree—"As soon as they can move us out, we'd like to move." Myrtis added, "I think we should get some of our money back if we have to stay here all semester because we don't have some of the advantages the other girls have."
WINFIELD — (UPI) — Southwestern College students favored President Johnson by a 3-1 margin over Republican candidate Barry Goldwater yesterday in a mock election.
Johnson got 228 votes and Goldwater 77 in the poll conducted by the school's journalism department.
Thirteen students preferred neither of the candidates and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson each got one write-in vote.
In a similar poll last fall, the late President John F. Kennedy led Goldwater slightly more than 2-1.
Since these conditions are temporary, Miss Delp said, she assumes everything will be back to normal by next semester.
In the only other question on the ballot, students favored by a 5-1 majority United States involvement in South Viet Nam.

St. Louis Beats Yanks, 9-5 In World Series Opener
ST. LOUIS—(UPI)—Curt Flood, a fleet defensive star regarded in St. Louis as a "a little Willie Mays," drove in two key runs with a truble and a single today to lead the Cardinals to a smashing 9-5 victory over the New York Yankees in the first game of the World Series.
Unleashing a 12-hit attack that also included a two-run homer by Mike Shannon and a triple by Tim McCarver, the Cardinals closed out the triumph just as they closed out so many games in the final days of the frantic National League pennant race—with vagabond relief ace Barney Schultz on the mound.
With a crowd of 30,805 roaring behind them in tiny Busch Stadium, the Cardinals thoroughly out-played the American League champion New York Yankees—who now have lost five straight series games dating back to their four-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1963 classic.
In addition, they tagged Whitey Ford, who started the game with a record total of 10 World Series victories, with his eight loss in classic competition—also a record.
Smashing as the Cardinal victory was, it took one of their patented "flash" rallies to overcome a 4-2
Teachers Host 2 Conventions For Biologists

lead which the Yankees had built up against hot-shot 23-year-old Ray Sadecki with the help of a two-run homer and a run-producing double by Tom Tresh.
It was clear almost from the start that Sadecki could not control his wide-breaking curve enough to handle the Yankee hitters, who went to work with a three-run outburst in the second inning and added a run in the fifth.
