Question: "Why didn't we have a record turnout to vote in the last student election?"
Patricia Schulte, college junior:
"Because people weren't interested enough to find out what the issues were, if there were any, or to find out about the candidates and their qualifications. There are too many issues which are more important to students than student government."
Curtis Sell, college freshman: "It wasn't the weather—it was ideal for voting conditions. It was just that none of the students were interested in it. They think the All Student Council will be just the way it has been in the past, and they were fed up with it."
Robert Willms, college sophomore,
"I voted because I was approached
personally a day before elections by
a FACTS member. Before that I
didn't think it was important, but
he was a nice kid and it was
important to him although, of course,
he was biased. If the two political
parties would take more personal
interest in the students and show
they are responsible, more people
would vote."
Marimea Voiland, college senior:
"Everyone left it up to someone else to do the job, but it seems to me that it was a pretty good turn-out. I suppose there are lots of good reasons."
Rosemarie Novotny
Billie Richards, college junior: "I don't think the students are interested in voting or in the political arena. I don't know any of the candidates."
Le Johnson, freshman in the School of Medicine: "Because many people think it's a big farce and really unimportant—although I voted."
Rosemarie Novotny, fine arts senior: "Too many people didn't know anyone on the ballots. It's just a guessing game when you start to know what be some way to know the candidates and their qualifications."
Dinice Tice, journalism junior "Too many students consider the All Student Council as being relatively unimportant. They think the Student Council seats are grabs for a rather than attempts to do good for the student body. Therefore they don't want to give their support."
Geologist to Lecture Todav
Prof. Everett C. Olson of the University of Chicago's department of geology will lecture on "The Evolution of Mammals from Mammallike Reptiles," in 101 Snow hall at 4 p.m. today.
Another suggestion she offered to amateur stylists was to throw away brushes with nylon or other synthetic bristles in favor of one with boar bristles which she said were more gentle to the hair.
Coiffeur Says Hairstyles To Become Short and Smooth
"Hairstyles will tend to be shorter and more smooth this year, Ann Howell, winner of the national hairstyling contest, told freshmen women last week at North College.
Miss Howell suggested that the hair be set with strands of lamb's wool entwined with the pin curl to stretch the hair, keep the ends smooth and secure the curls.
Miss Howell, who is one of 50 leading coiffeurs who will set next year's hair styles, has won first places in both Kansas and Missouri contests, as well as national recognition
Tokyo (U.P.)—An earthquake shook downtown Tokyo early today. There were no immediate reports of damage. The meteorological observatory said the tremor was of "minor" intensity and estimated the epicenter as being somewhere in the area between Tokyo and Yokohama.
She demonstrated several new hairstyles. Models were Joan Bowman, college freshman; Shirley Dean, college freshman; Sally Lindemuth, college freshman, and Joan Burleigh, fine arts freshman.
"Perhaps the two most popular cuts now are the 'umbrella' cut and

the "Peter Pan," she said. "Their popularity is doubtless due to the minimum of care they require" she concluded, "which is a prime factor in a college girl's choice of a hair style."

"The Schoolhouse at Prairie View" was written by Dr. Marshall A. Barber, who was graduated from the University in 1891 and was a member of the faculty from 1894 to 1911. The book contains humorous reminiscences of his grade school days in the 1870's and 1880's.
KU Press Tells Of'School Days'
Dr. Barber was connected with the Rockefeller foundation's international health division for many years. For his services during World War II he received a citation from the War department as "one of the most noted malariologists in the world."

The University press also has published "From the Workshop of Discoveries," by Dr. Otto Loewi, research professor of pharmacology in the New York university College of Medicine and winner of the Nobel prize in medicine in 1936. He discusses the manner in which scientific discoveries are made, the study and practice of medicine in general, and recent research in the field of adrenal function.
