After the Whistle
Coffee, Smokes, Studies Crowd 10 Minute Break
By NANCY NEVILLE
Have you ever thought of all the things you could do in 600 seconds? KU students could give a few suggestions. The activity that is crowded into 10 minute breaks between classes is almost unbelievable.
The most favored sport while waiting for the next class involves the perpetual cigaret. The front steps of Strong, Fraser and Lindley are packed with "weed lovers." But whoever heard of smoking a cigarette in solitude? Smoking time is "gossip time," and the amount of news crossing the campus almost competes with the amount disseminated by the Daily Kansan.
"Good heavens, I've brought the wrong notebook." I'll bet you've said this before. A dash back to the house to exchange notebooks is often frustrating, but it has been proven that it can be done if you don't mind walking into the class room behind the professor.
How's your chug-a-lugging? The Union and various local restaurants are filled with "eat-and-run" Jay-hawkers who just have to have that cup of coffee to make it through the next class.
There are some students who believe in an eleventh-hour studying policy. While walking down the campus, it is not uncommon to see a book attached to a pair of arms and legs. It's surprising how much knowledge can be packed into the brain on the way to a test, although it doesn't stay long.
Little essentials are also crowded into these precious 10 minutes, such as cashing checks, buying necessities at the bookstore, and of course, picking up a copy of the Daily Kansan.

Judy Garland's Comeback Film Has Cinematic Rough Sledding
Hollywood (U.P.)-Judy Garland explained today her "comeback" movie has had rough sledding because "it means so much to me and we want it to be good."
The brown-eyed singer is back before the movie cameras for the first time since she left MGM in a furry of sad headlines four years ago.
So far it hasn't been cinematic smooth sailing on the set of "A Star Is Born," a musical version of the old Janet Gaynor-Frederic March favorite.
Her first co-star, Gary Grant, was replaced by James Mason. The picture is on its third cameraman; a musical arranger left in a huff.
"We started shooting in regular size. But our partner in our independent movie company wanted it in Cinemascope. I didn't. We'd been shooting eight days and we didn't like his work, so we got another cameraman who hadn't worked on Cinemascope before.
"When it's your own company and money making a picture, you take an interest in every phase. At MGM I didn't care whether they got two or three shots a day. But now I feel such a part of this picture. I've been in on all the meetings."
"Cary decided he wasn't right for the part," Judy explained calmly as she lounged in a dressing room at Warner studio between scenes.
Judy appears more mature, confident and happy than when she made her last musical at MGM. "Summer Stock." She thinks she's grown-up now, and, she laughed, "It's about time."
"The musical arranger thought I sang loud. I don't have that little movie voice any more since I've been on the stage. So he just up and quit," she said with a shrug. "I understand he was on the verge of a breakdown."

"I was nervous and scared when I started 'A Star Is Born'," she grinned. "Td gotten away from movies and taken up something new, the stage, and then four years later back to movies again. I kept thinking, oh, I hope I make good."
