Meet the L B 0 Cs: Jeff, Mary
By SHIRLEY LYON
Editor's Note: LBOC means
"Little Baby on Campus."
"This is Jeff, our baby," the girls
proudly say when they usher you
into the house, the Beecher House,
that is. It is only slightly different
when you go into Hillcrest, for
the girls there welcome you with,
"First you'll want to see Mary
Ann. She's our baby."
The care of Jeff and Mary Ann
i s only part of the training that
coeds majoring in Home Econom
ics receive in the . home manage
ment houses. There they put into
actual experience all the theories,
skills, and techniques they have
learned in classes.
"In the home management
houses," says Miss Mary B. All
good, director of the houses, "we
try to give the girls,all the experi
ences that a homemaker would
have in her own home. They live
as a family in the house, sharing
expenses and planning the work."
Seventh and eighth semester
girls move into one of the houses
for an eight-week pdriod. During
the semester in which they live at
the house the girls carry only 15
credits, 3 of them for the home
management house.
Coeds .Draw Straws
In order to avoid disappoint
ment and the appearance of fa
voritism the girls choose their
houses by drawing. When the co

over again by the American coed, but Bever more decidedly than. by

Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman women's honorary, awarded cer
tificates of achievement Saturday to seniors who had been members of
the honorary as freshmen and who maintained the average necessary
for 'admittance to their group (a
mere 2.5). Fourteen coeds quali
fied! All of them attractive, one
of them is the girl John Powers

Queen.
That coeds who win scholastic
honors are girls who spend all
their time, poring - over textfbooks
and test ttibes was also proved
once again not to apply ,to the
American college. girl. One of the
14 coeds Barbara Ingraham, is
news editor of the Collegian, and
writes "Old Mania." Marilyn
Globisch, the John Powers Queen
who also holds a world swimming
record, devotes much time to the
Swimming and Fishing Clubs.

rooms and roommates is also done
by chance; for example, following
one of the eight pieces of strings
which start at the same point in
the living room.
Greeting the coeds when they
first come to the house is their ad
visor, a member of the home eco
nomics staff. She is on duty 24
hours a day to teach and supervise
the girls.
The work starts immediately
with each girl taking a turn for a
week as hostess, laundress, assis
tant housekeeper, housekeeper, as
sistant cook, cook, assistant child
director, and child director. The
child director, with her assistant,
has complete charge of the baby,

Babies Stay 10 Mbnihs
After ten months during which
the baby is taken care of by 32
different' mothers and one advisor,
the baby goes back to the home.
As keeping within a budget is
part of managing a home, the girls
are allowed approximately $450
each eight 2'weplc--period from
which comes all their expenses . .
With the sixty cents per person
per day allotted for food, the girls
prepare well balanced meals.
Probably becabse of planned, cal
orie intake, regular meals ;pre
pared with an eye on food values,
and extra sleep, most of the girls
gain a few pounds while living at
the house.
Anyone with a friend in one of
the home management houses can
consider himself lucky for he may
count on an invitation to one of
the parties the girls\ give ( for ex
perience in entertaining. There is
no set rule as to the amount or
kind of entertaining the girls must
do.
In addition to the Beecher House
and Hillcrest, the Home Economics
deparinlent maintains_ a third
