of Washington? Will the
Kennedy example start a new
trend?
Il don't know whether it
will have any effect or not"
replied Mrs. Stuart Syming-
ton. IT think some people
have their own household
habits. In some places the
men just stay and stay and
stay and their wives have to
root them out. I have known
some women-Single women
who have gone home before
the men came back, they
stayed so long. I don't have
very much trouble with Stu.
He thinks It's more of a
party when they are to-
gether." He fingers with his
gentlemen guests in their
downstairs dining room for
a period, but a brief one.
SAID MRS. ROBERT Nc
NAMARA, wife of the Sec
rotary of Defense, 81 am Just
delighted to have the Ken
nedys setting this example.
When men get off together
they usually talk shop and
when they get with women
they are more apt to have a
broader and more interesting
conversation. 1t lends to the
art of conversation and I
think the art of conversation
needs some lending. 1t may
not be as true in Washing
ton as it is among groups of
educators, doctors, business
men and so forth" she said.
But I enjoy mixed COM
pany."
What about Secretary Nc
Namara? He prefers to have
it mixed, too"
NETHERLANDS AMBAS-
SADOR Herman van Rotten,
who is apt to be host at din
ner almost every night he
doesn't go out to one. always
escorts the men to a sep
arate room. Why? We
find that very often the men
after dinner like to talk about
politics and economic mat
tiers. 1 believe they think
they talk more freely with
out women. l think they are
wrong" continued this dip
lomat very automatically.
But that has been the GUS
tom The male attitude, he
said, lis largely prejudiced
because I often get a much
clearer answer when speak
ing about political matters
before women than I do be-
fore men"
JOHN WALKER, National
Gallery of Art director, had
definite reactions to the
subject of segregating the
sexes after dinner. MY wife
is English. you know. so we
do it in my house, but I think
it is a dreadful custom! I
have spent many boring
hours" he added much to the
pleasure Of the women
grouped about him. Why
doesn't he change the custom
then? My wife is a stronger
character than l." he OBJ
served with grin.
Mrs. Fernando .Bercke-
meyer, American wife of the
Peruvian Ambassador, noted
that I'VE always do separate
for after dinner coffee but
we did not do it the night
we had the dinner for Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy"
Was it because the Kennedys
had not done it at their din
ner for the Prados? "Presi-
dent and Mrs. Prado gave the
dinner and perhaps they are
accustomed to doing it that
way in Peru" she replied. AS

Washington socialites and
pretenders to the title who
have carefully followed the
fashionable English custom
of separating the feminine
guests from the men during
the coffee period after din
ner partieS-may now ask
themselves: Is this separa-
ton necessary? Indeed, is
it even fashionable?
For it now comes to light
that the President and First
Lady of the United States do
not practice this custom
even at their formal state
dinners.
TT is QUITE APPARENT
that the President and First
Lady who by virtue of train
ing, appearance and present
position can hardly be re-
garded as less than the chic
est twoSome in the country,
do not believe in segregation
Of the sexes on or during So
cial occasions.
Not since they moved into
the White House. which, by
the way. gets whittier by the
day, have they oriented their
guests into separate COM
partments for coffee, IL
queurS, cigars and cigarettes,
This is definitely a new
wrinkle at 1900 Pennsylva-
MIA avenue. During the Eli
senhower administration the
ladies retired into the Green
Room for about 20 minutes
after dinner before their
dinner partners reclaimed
them and escorted them in
two-by-two file into the

brought up to be presented.
BUT AT THE WHITE
HOUSE dinner for Peruvian
President and Mrs. Prado,
there was no RECOMMENDATION
after the meal whatsoever.
The women were charmed to
find they could stand in the
corridor where Mr.. Kennedy
stood for a few minutes talk
ing to Mr.. Prado, or go into
the Blue or Green Rooms
where some of the men Joined
them right away. Mrs. Ken
nedy and Mrs. Prado sat to-

Green Room and some of the
Senators wives were en-
sconced on other chairs and

their husbands standing and

1t seemed as easy and

so ALL THOSE AMERf-

have the best precedent in

lNOW lHdI IIlOSt Oh CHG SIuQ6nCS
at A. S. u. have entered their
third week of classes and
studies, there ,is quite a recruit
ment of new freshmen this year.
Most of them are bright-eyed and
a bit bewildered at assuming their
new positions as freshmen, while
wondering and hoping they will
make through this institution
of higher learning.
Many seem to have set goals
and they have begun to seek the
challenges that lay ahead.
: asked some of the freshmen
at A.S.U. what they thought we're
the differences, if there were
any, between high school anduni-
versity life.
Here is what few had to say:
Patricia Grant: ''In college
you're more on your own in study
ing. If you want to learn you
study. In high school you are
given more chances to make up
work, but here in college if you
miss something it's just missed
and no one gives it thought
except you."
Hadley Murrell states: 'Thave
found that college is on a much
higher level and if you have not
received a good background in
high school, you are lost"
Finally Barbra Jones feels that
college is harder, but more
fun. There are more people to
meet and know. Besides, | like
the variety of classes and the
opportunity to schedule them at
the hours you want"
Here is hoping they all find
what they are seeking.
This weekend of Oct. 7, the
football team will be playing
against the University of Utah
here. An after-game dance is
being given by the undergraduate
chapter of the Kappa Alpha Phi
fraternity at the Masonic Temple.
Everyone is welcomed.
See you there...

Saqqara. 1t is inscribed for Thy
and Irenra and is in sunk re-
lief with panels of hieroglyphics
separating the figures of men.
Although it is dated between
$500 and 2400 BIC. it is impos-
sible to pinpoint its date exactly
since archaeological methods
had not resolved themselves
into a science until quite recent
ly. Whatever its exact date, how
yer. it is a rare survival of
this earliest of Egyptian relief
styles. a field which was to de-
velop so fully in later Egypt
ian sculpture and which has
never been surpassed in all

When loser. the Bird Dynasty
ruler of Egypt was entombed at
Saqqara near Memphis. the cap
ital of the Old Kingdom, a form
of pyramid and tomb was es-
tablished that was used for
many centuries.
Although Zoser's pyramid was
enormous-it was $50 feet wide
by 800 feet long and 200 feet
high with an interior chamber
"a feet long and II feet high with
a granite sepulcher in the floor
there were many lesser pyra-
mids built there from the Bird
through the 9th Dynasties, as
we'll as innumerable mastaba
tombs. These dynasties were
powerful enough not only to
build these vast tombs but to
carry on both successful wars
and successful commerce.
The extent of their commerce
may be seen in their use of
cedar from the forests of Leban-
on in their ships and gateWays.
The widespread influence of their
power may be seen in the Old
Testament references to Mem
phis where it is called Moph in
Hosea and Noph in Isaiah,
jeremiah ard Ezekiel.
Saqqara. the burial ground
for Memphis, was one of the
first Egyptian sites to be invest
igated by the modern world. AS
early at 1888 a stele from this
metropolis was presented to the
