DONT CLUTCH—Those all-important final examinations begin to morrow morning. Audrey Holmes, journalism junior, already has begun a battle against the clock to be prepared for her tests.
What a Blast—
That dreaded institution known as final week is here again, and University students are bearing down to meet the challenge.
Final Week Begins Again
Semester tests will begin tomorrow and last through next Thursday, Jan. 27, when the University will adjourn for three days until enrollment begins for the second semester Feb. 1.
In a manner of speaking, school is out today. Classes will not meet regularly after today, leaving students and professors alike to devote their time to preparation for final examinations.
School also is out today for the University Daily Kansan, which will not publish again until the second semester. Next issue of the Kansan will appear Feb. 4, the day classes begin.
For the next few days most University students will be hitting the books. They'll be trying to pull an
It will be a particularly crucial week for a few. These few are the ones, procrastination being what it is, have fallen so far behind that only a great "clutch" performance in the final test can save them from a low grade.
Final week will be easy for others who either have assured themselves of a good grade or have followed the Boy Scout standards for being prepared. Along with this group are the fortunate few who specialize in courses which do not require a final examination in written form.
"A" from a "B" or a "C" from a "D"
or a "D" from nothing.
But for the average collegian, finals mean much painful concentration. After long hours of cramming, each test will be a two-hour ordeal of trying to remember what the book said or what the instructor said or what Joe said the book and
the instructor said.
Over at the library there probably will be standing room only until after next Thursday. But that doesn't mean the Hawk's Nest will be empty, since many feel there's nothing like a cup of coffee, either before or after that fatal exam.
There will be movie-going and gatherings in the local hangouts also this week, as students seek diversion for fact-filled minds. Anything to avoid ulcers, they say.
Then, next Thursday, it will be all over. Tests will have been completed, the grades recorded, and the first semester will become history. It will mark the end of a long 18 weeks.
There will be a three-day vacation or more depending on test and enrollment schedules, for students to recover and pull themselves together for the second semester.
Degree Candidates Named by University
Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, will address the Kansas City Kansas Junior Chamber of Commerce at its Bosses Night banquet tomorrow night in the Town House Hotel.

Chicago Savant To Give First Lindley Lecture
The first Ernest H. Lindley memorial lecture honoring the late chancellor of the University will be given Feb. 18, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced today.
Dr. Richard Peter McKeon, distinguished service professor of Greek and philosophy and former dean of the Division of Humanities at the University of Chicago, will be the lecturer. He will speak on "Human Rights and International Relations," a subject in keeping with the "Values of Living" theme envisioned for the Lindley lectureships.
The lecture will be at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater.
Dr. Lindley was chancellor of K. U. from 1920 to 1939, when he asked retirement so he might expound his philosophy on the "Values of Living." He planned, after a year's trip to the Orient, to teach two courses in "The Human Situation" and "Plan for Living."
A committee headed by Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star, solicited endowment funds to establish the Lindley memorial lectures.
Dr. McKeon, the first Lindley lecturer, was a member of the United States delegation to the world UNESCO conferences in 1946-47-48. Holder of A.B., A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia university, he taught there from 1925 to 1935, when he moved to the University of Chicago to become dean of humanities.
Red POWs Begin March to Freedom
They ignored frantic Communist "come home" pleas and death threats as they began their long-awaited march to freedom shortly before 9 a.m. (6 p.m. CST Tuesday).
Before sumup all of the 22,000 former Communist soldiers were expected to be on their way to South Korea and Chiang Kai-Shek's forces on Formosa.
Panmunjom, Korea-(U.P.)—Chinese and Korean war prisoners trekked southward tonight under the glare of giant searchlights in a dramatic and final rejection of their Communist-held homelands.
The Communists failed to back up a broadcast warning that prisoners leaving the Indian compounds would be machine-gunned, and none of the men glanced back at the smoking camp they left behind. Some had set fire to their tents and straw mats.
At first there were shouts of jubilation and mass singing, but as the day wore on they crossed the line quietly.
Release of the prisoners ended an unwavering UN fight against holding them indefinitely.
Indian guards called the roll giving each man a final chance to change his mind, but only 49 Chinese and 31 Koreans out of the first 11-,298 men released chose to return to Communism.
The Communists made no physical efforts to stop the prisoners, as the armed American soldiers and South Koreans stood ready to protect them at any cost.
Enrollment Resume' Shows Hs' and Seniors Fortunate
If you're a graduating senior or a person whose last name begins with the letter H, consider yourself fortunate-you will be among the first of some 7,200 students to get finished with the spring semester enrollment red tape.
Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya's Indian command ignored the Red warning handed over the first group to the Allies at 8:52 a.m. (5:52 p.m. CST Tuesday).
When registration and enrollment for the next 90-day semester start Monday, Feb. 1, undergraduates with last names starting with Haa and all graduating seniors will be admitted to the Student union ballroom for the beginning of the 2- to 4-hour signing up procedure.
One can look forward to the spring vacation which begins at noon Saturday, April 3 and runs through April 12. Final examinations are close behind, though, beginning May 27 and ending eight days later.
The first step in getting properly classified for next semester is the obtaining and filling out of the myriad of cards, forms, slips, etc. Then comes the painful payment of fees. Classes will be selected in the Union as done for the first time in a regular school year last fall.
Classes in all schools will commence Feb. 4.
Then 90 days later. . . .
