With a 1 to 233 ratio
Male preponderance doesn't bother
women taking engineering courses
By Marjorle May.
Engineers are usually men, any
way that's what most people
think, but two UN coeds are hav
ing an enviable time among some
700 boys in the engineering col
lege. What do they think about it?
"Well, they're a pretty nice
bunch of fellows," asserted Av
lona Moyer, a senior. "But it's
really no different than having
women in your class.
Russel agrees.
: Shirley Russel, junior, agreed
with her. "I can't see that it
makes any difference whether
men or women are our classmates.
.f Both students are enrolled Jn
f ""qfthe engineering college school of
architecture. Also in architec
ture is an arts and science junior,
Mary Rokahr, who isn't bothered
by the lack of women in most of
her classes.
The main difference between
architecture in the two colleges is
that in arts and science Miss Ro
kahr majors in the subject, tak
ing the usual four year course,
while in engineering, architecture
Daily
Sleuths trail offensive odors
from coliseum to music school
... a la Ferdinand
"When Ferdinand swelled llie flowers, he was satisfied.
But had he roamed Ihe halls of any of the university's build
ings, his nostrils would probably have curled up.
Here is a "smell-witness ac-
.ount of the odoriferous situation
on the campus, a complete survey
of smells from the coliseum to
the school of music.
Even the "S" men, (Smell), the
keenest nose wavers known, can-
not agree as to the location of the
most offensive odors.
"Public Enemy No. 1", accord
ing to many "S" men, is Avery
lab with its gas filled air which
has never failed to make a nose
wrinkle.
Others contend that the sweat
and smell of the coliseum cannot
be matched even by Bessey
where a formaldehyde plus a hun-
dred other zoological, biological,
botanical, physiological, and mor-
phological contributions to the
world of aroma constantly fill the
air.
The musty moth-ball scent of
Morrill isn't particularly often-
sive, but can be easily detected
Beauty editors

is the whole course, lasting five
years.
Want equalization.
"We like to be treated the same
as the men," stated one of the
coeds. "And we are most of the
time. One reason we like the col
lege is because the students are so
democratic. The laboratories are
freer and we are on our own more
of the time than in most classes."
In architecture there is only one
thing that makes a big difference.
Next spring the seniors will take
an inspection trip either to Chi
cago or Kansas City and make
short tours from there, but we are
not allowed to do this . . Aw shux!
One advantage.
An advantage Miss Russel and
Miss Moyer have over others
is in getting out of school to at
tend the Engineers Week held
here the first week in May.
Last fall Miss Rokahr and Miss
Russel won mention in a contest
to design the interior of a hospital
waiting room, showing their abil
ity in the field of their choice.
As to the reason they chose
by connoisseurs.
Andrews gets its recognition
from the fragrance of the anti-
septic used in the dental school on
the third floor smelled on all
floors. Of course, that's putting
it a little strong.
University hall is so old that
the perfume of decay can be
sniffed by even the inexpert,
while Dr. Lyman and his col
leagues in pharmacy maintain
the standards.
No one knows how the school
of music building affects the ol-
factory nerves, for one s brain is
so busy with sounds of squeeking
strings and pounding instruments
that operation of other senses is
nil.
Most of the other buildings on
city campus are relatively inof-
fensive, but the stench of the
barnyards at Ag sends the "S"
men fleeing for clothes pins.

architecture, all three of the
women said they had "always"
wanted to be architects, at least
since they were in grade school.
And they all exhibit a great deal
of enthusiasm when questioned
about their career so men you'd
better look to your laurels in
architecture!
