DO IT YOURSELF PROJECT—A swish of a brush and several industrious women is all it takes to convert Hashinger Hall's bomb shelter into an activity room.

Hashinger Hall Coeds Turn Bomb Shelter Into Fun Room
The women of Hashinger Hall are turning one of their three large cement block bomb shelters into a recreation room.
An agreement was made with the dormitory office to provide a television set and paint supplies. The women are painting and furnishing the rest of the room themselves.
UPON INSPECTION of their new dormitory last fall, the KU women found no provision had been made for a room where they could watch television or just relax. They did, however, have a large cement block shelter on first floor.
Headed by the hall management committee, the women started painting the bomb shelter in shades of aqua, gold and white last week. Each evening about five girls descend to the first floor and paint for a couple of hours. They expect to have the room completed by April 1.
"IT TAKES a lot of time, but it's fun and fortunately the paint is water soluble and can be washed out of our clothes," said Sharon Ahtey, Topeka junior and chairman of the management committee.
Mrs. Doris Sindt, assistant resident director, has been making the task more pleasant by providing coffee and refreshments for the painters each evening.
The dormitory office is providing 16 plastic floor cushions and a television set. The women are planning to buy a ping pong table and the rest of the furnishings from hall funds.
"At least if we're bombed, we'll have a very attractively decorated shelter," Miss Athey said.
