Well, this is KU-seen by camper
TO: Barrymore, my pet cat
SUBJECT: My first impressions
of the KU campus
Dear Barrymore.
First I would like to tell you about Potter Lake, because it has ducks which I know you would like. They are rather mangy but respond beautifully to chocolate creme cookies. They are underfed, probably because little boys are always catching fish in rather greedy proportions, and the only other thing in the lake is turtles, who are pleasant enough but rather cranky. You would like the clover and weed covered banks, but you might get stuck on the path, which is tar and gets soft when it is hot, which is often.
The rest of the places are inside, but you might like them too. The KU postoffice is humorless and businesslike, and reluctant to give change. There are vending machines down there, in Strong, which sell milk. This improves the atmosphere tremendously.
ANOTHER PLACE rather businesslike is the Political Science Library. The view is magnificent and not at all scary (it is on a top floor) because they don't allow you to open the windows. You can see all sorts of smokestacks, brown patches on lawns, and the shingles falling off the library roof.
The Museum of Natural History you would love. One floor is dedicated entirely to birds, but they are under glass. All the exhibits are natural and historical, and you might be a little tempted to examine them a little more carefully than allowed.
The Museum of Art is right across the street. It is very clean and well kept. In an antique oak bench on the first floor there is a vacuum cleaner. Downstairs there are some busts of men with broken noses, but the posts they are on would make good back-scratchers.
ANOTHER RATHER high-up place is the periodical room of the library. It is sort of clinical and has a lot more magazines than they do at home, but no "Cat World." There is a bai window that is pretty. Practically all you can see out of it is trees, though.
The last place I wanted to go was the "Hawk's Nest" but I couldn't because it is off limits. You wouldn't like it anyway, Barrymore: it is at times a little loud and smoky.
As soon as you can visit I will take you to the lake to see the ducks, but we had better put something on your paws because so many places are too far to walk.
With love,
Your owner

25 learning family funds
Education in Family Finance, part of a national program held this year on 17 university campuses, is teaching 25 educators at KU how to teach the financial facts of life to young people before they have to assume adult financial responsibilities.
The fourth annual KU workshop, which will end July 22, is dealing with such topics as installment buying, automobile property, health and life insurance, savings and investments, social security, retirement and pension plans, estates, wills and taxes.
Participants include elementary and business education teachers, principals, counselors, and a large number of home economics teachers.
The workshop draws on resource personnel from KU, local and regional business institutions and governmental agencies. Director this year is I. N. Bowman, instructor in the School of Business.
Draft call at 31,300
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— The Army will draft 31,300 men in September and will boost its combined calls for July and August by 6,000 men, the Defense Department has announced.
Plaids oust neutrals
NEW YORK — (UPI)— Make a winning fashion move into fall—with the checkerboard look. Women's clothes for the season ahead no longer are the quiet, subdued neutrals, so long a basic of their wardrobes.
By Gay Pauley
Instead, checks which have outgrown the size of those on the familiar checkerboard, pervade, the New York ready-to-wear collections. So do plaids and stripes.
DESIGNERS LABEL this geometric swing everything from tattersall to window pane to the pattern of tile.
Larry Aldrich's designer Marie McCarthy, for instance, went on a check swing that picked up the pattern of tiles. Typical was a black and white tube of a dress, in twill, with the splashy contrast looking as if it were right from the building supplies stores.
THE TUBE SHAPE, a la McCarthy, has narrow, wrist-length sleeves, no collar and no defined waistline. Tubes are skinnery shapes, skimming over the body without fitting it.
Pearson is in Colby
COLBY — (UPI) — Sen. James Pearson, R-Kans., campaigned by car and plane in northwest Kansas yesterday.
Pattern is every where you turn in the collections that the New York Couture Business Council, Inc. formerly the New York couture group unveiled this week during its 47th semiannual "National Press Week" for visiting reporters.
1835 Mass. St.
Showings of the clothes, which already are beginning their appearance in some stores, will continue through next week, with the American designers group taking over Sunday, July 12. when the council is finished.
GEOMETRIC patterns dominated the clothes show by the firm of Nat Kaplan, which frankly said it was having a highland fling. Pants suits, the "in" costume for the days ahead, came in a variety of plaids. The firm coupled red, green and yellow in wool pattern with long jackets topping bell bottom trousers.
The same plaids appeared in costumes, plaid jackets worn with dresses in coordinated solid shades; in a wool plaid coat over a green jersey dress; and red and green plaid topping skirts of gray worsted.
One-fourth pound of the finest ground beef. Deluxe, delicious, extra-big! Served with french fries, tomato, seasoned to your taste.
