It's not impossible, and 12 senior women living in two home management houses prove it: Degree Requirement In order to obtain a degree, women stu dents majoring in home economies are re quired, to participate in the home man agement project during their senior year in the College of Agriculture. Ths girls, dividea Into two groups of six each, live in houses located at 3220 Starr St. on Ag campus and it 1600 R St. on the City campus. , There are four shifts during the school year, with each group living in the houses for half of a semester. The third shift of the year started in February and will end March 21. Home management, seemingly never ending, continues during the sum mer, too. Terminating Course Miss Hazel Brandt, instructor in home economics, said that home management is a terminating course which enables the students to tie together all previous courses in home economics. She explained the differences between the home on Ag campus and the one on the City campus. "The home on R3t. is equipped with gas appliances, a dishwasher, garbage dis posal, automatic washer and dryer. "It is furnished in a formal manner, with garden-type and mahogany furni ture' she said. The home on Star St., equipped with electrical appliances but minus the other home's added laundering and kitchen util ities, is furnished with early American furniture. Two Homes "We want the girls to have experience with both types of homes," said Miss Brandt. She said the two groups rotate aft er several weeks of living in each of the two homes. Miss Brandt also said that the group liv ing on Star St. is living on a moderately low income level of 75 cents each a day, while the other group on R Street exists on a moderately high budget of $1.05. Since the University pays for all utility bills, the girls us the budget primarily for purchasing food. The group living on R St. pays a house bill of $40 for their four-week stay, while the other group at Ag pays $35 for their three-week stay. Meals Toughest Minnette Taylor, a member of the group living on the city campus, said that plan ning the menus and still enforcing the budget was the most difficult task of all. "It takes hours to buy groceries," she said. Among the other troublesome problems of managing a home, Miss Taylor cited using the mangle iron safely without los ing a finger as a tough chore. "In our group, each of the six girls does their own house duty, and we take turns being the cook, dishwasher, laundress and housekeeper," she added. Mistaken Identity At times, the home management homes are mistaken as a placement organization. Miss Taylor recalled the time that a man phoned and wanted to know the names and addresses of all the Bolivian students on campus. After a short explanation was issued, the caller realized his mistake. Once during their stay M the homes, the girls are permitted to eat out. When doing so, they are expected to take notes and compare the difference in prices when eat ing out and eating at home. Each home has a woman faculty ad viser who lives with the girls. The adviser evaluates the work of the girls and does not act as a supervisor or a housemother. Play, Too All is not work for these eager home makers, however, since entertainment is on the agenda in their home management project. Twice at each home, the groups plan organized entertainment for the guests of their choice. Miss Brandt said, "We hope that by liv ing together and managing a home the girls will develop lasting friendships." THfcY Sat. KADiNSl 15 THE GREATEST THINS N THE WORLD!

Dean Hobson said the add ed courses were recommnd- compared ed by the National Engineer- ... : "i :i r r ' i ing uouncu oi rroiessionai Development, which ac credits college engineering courses. "The bulk of the students take four and a half years to go through," Hobson said. The preponderance of tech nical courses required by the college was cited by the dean as probably reason for the lower grade average of en gineering students as com pared with students in other fields. "Most of the instructors use some form of scaled grades. Some of them are primarily interested in chal lenging the students," he said. Hobson said he thinks Uni versity engineering students receive the necessary tech nical background they need. Content in the University program is at about the me dian point for engineering colleges, he said. In comparing engineering to other fields in college, the dean commented, "There are many easier ways out." I NEVER SAIP I OJAHTEP TO LEARN HOO) TO REAP"!

Otradovsky Cops KAM Photo Prize A photograph taken by Fred Otradovsky, Ag Engineering student, took first prize in the competition at the regional Kappa Alpha Mu convention Saturday. His picture showed a man hole cover propped against a brick wall. Effect was gained by using cross light ing. KAM, professional photo graphv fraternity, held the convention at Lawrence, Kan. Otradovsky and Liz Jacobs, national KAM president, were Nebraska's representatives. Otradovsky is a senior and a member of Theta Chi. His prize-winning photograph will be on display soon in the basement of Burnett. "Not only was there only one party but the membership in this party was mandatory," Takacs said. There could be no other meetings of any kind. A small get together in someone's room was considered almost treasonable, he said. Takacs and Louie (,Lajos Molnar, both refugees of the 1956 Hungarian revolution, are sponsored on campus by the Inter-Fraternity Council. Takacs lives at the Sigma Chi house and Molnar resides with the Theta Xi's. Refugee Agitated Commenting on the start of the revolution, Takacs said, "Twelve years of communis tic oppression just piled up. A refugee from Poland came to Budapest and told the stu dents of events which caused Profs to Dine, Hear Tax Talk The University Chapter ot the American Association of University Professors will hold a dinner meeting today ;p Union Parlors XYZ. Michael Morris, assistant professor of law, will speak on "'Some Special Income Tax Problems Confronting Uni versity Professors." Scholarship Applications Due The deadline for University schol a r s h i p applications is Feb. 28. Information and ap plications may be obtained in the Student Affairs Office, Administration. them to form a resistance movement." The students who organized the revolt on Oct. 23, 1956, made a 16-point declaration, the substance of which was asking the Russians to "get out." Molncr, who attended a Uni versity of Agricultural Sci ence near Budapest agreed that conditions were similar j in his school. j Minds Made Up "Shortly after the revo lution started," Steve added, "students started disappear ing. At this time we made up our minds that it was get out now or never." The security police had been somewhat weakened during the fighting, and the border police were mostly drafted Hungarians loyal to the cause of the revolution. Because of this, and a few lucky breaks, we managed to get out, Takacs said. Met In New York The two students met in New York, where they took a six-weeks language course. ; Neither could speak English when they arrived in the Unit ed States. The World University Serv ice who gave us our scholar, ships assigned us to Nebras ka, Molnar said. Both Molnar and Takacs say they enjoy their experi ence living in fraternity houses. They both participate actively in house functions. This fall the IFC appropri ated $840 for housebills and spending money enabling Louie and Steve to continue their education.
