Airrea, uien ana imus em-u

Feature Editor
It happened not so very long
ago.
In fact, it happens to most every
college student every day.
And, to be sure, Homer Hope
jwell is no exception. One day
; earlier this week,, he walked into
one of me most expensive ana
dependable candy stores m town.
He wanted the best box of candy
he could buy.
It was for his girl friend's
birthday. He wanted perfection.
Finally after much debate
with himself and discussion
with the saleslady, he bought j
the most beautiful box that the :
shop had for sale.
It was a five pound 30b. At
first, Homer thought it seemed a
little light, but as he became
wrapped up in his own thoughts
on his way home, the idea com
pletely slipped his mind.
Evening came. Homer was very
nervous. In fact, he spent two
hours thinking up the way he was
going to present the box to his
girl.
"Things like this embarrass me
as it is," he told himself, "fc-very

Homer had scarcely picked him

the brightly colored paper began
to fly.
Ostdiek left for Lincoln last
month. Eight younger members
Of the family, ranging in age from
seven to seventeen, are still living
in Lawrence.
All five are attending the Uni
versity and are living together ct

and 18-year-old Robert is

The family enterprise is the

newspaper. None of the boys are
making a career of journalism, al-1
though each has had experience

ing class in 1946, 1948 and 1949
respectively. All won regents'
scholarships in statewide com
petitive examinations. They
have earned extensions of these
scholarships, which cover tui
tion charges, because of their
good records.

They are living with the boys
whiie attending the University.
Their attempts at cooking have
produced somewhat better results
than any of the five brothers.
"I wonder why the candy
isn't rattling in the box," he
thought idly.
He didn't have much time to
