Wise Words May Lessen Pre-Examination Hysteria
Page 5
By DON MOSER
That ominous date May 22 is getting closer and closer*. With the passing of every class period the pre-examination hysteria grows stronger.
This collective fear of finals is not new. We can dig into quotations of the past for advice and comfort in our hour of need.
We learn from Bailey's "Festus" when to study:
lamp on high Then is the time for study"
When night hath set her silver lamp on high
Then is the time for study.
Now of course a person can't
study too much. The Bible tells us
that;
"Much study is a weariness," "Much learning doth make thee
fear."
Thomas Hood tells us that over study is harmful:
"Much study had made him very
pleasant, and pale and leaden-eyed."

If your study bags down, you don't have to be afraid to go out for relaxation. Longfellow said:
'A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better
than 10 years' study of books.
When the fatal day arrives and

that hopeless feeling remember
Charles Colton who said:
"Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer."
At least nine out of ten questions will probably be completely unintelligible, but as one philosopher said:
Public to See Mars From Observatory
The planet Mars may be viewed by the public from 8 until 10:30 p.m. Friday at the observatory atop Linden hall, Prof. N. W. Storer, chairman of the astronomy department, announced today.
The planet will be approximately 52 million miles from the earth Friday and will not be as close again for two years. The closest Mars came to the earth was on May 9 when it was about 493 million miles away.
If the night is clear, it is fairly certain that some markings on Mars will be seen, Professor Storer said. Visitors should be able to see snow on the polar caps and some of the darker areas believed to be vegetation he continued.
Visitors are asked to enter Lindley hall at the main entrance and will be guided to the observatory.
"Absturse questions must have absturse answers."
Don't be afraid to ask the proctor questions. As John Wolcep puts it: "The greatest man
May ask a question now and then."
And your proctor will be help-ful. Longfellow says that:
He will answer the questions
the vague surmises and suggests
Finally it will be over. Nothing to worry about till next year. You'll go home and people will point to you and in the words of Butler say:
That fill thy soul with doubt and fear."

Library Displays 5 Rare Volumes
The collected works of Hans Sachs, which are nearly 400 years old, are being displayed in the show case on the second floor of Watson library.
The books, printed in Nurenberg at the end of the 16th century, were the first collected works of any German poet to be published. The complete set in five volumes, a great rarity, was recently acquired by the library from a dealer in Berlin who bought them from a Danish count.
Except for worm holes in two volumes, the set is in a remarkable state of preservation. Volumes four and five, printed in 1578 and 1579 respectively, are of the first printing. Volumes one, two, and three are later sixteenth century printings.

Names of the winners in the promotional advertising contest announced at the Kansan board dinner last week were omitted from the Monday Daily Kansan. First place was awarded Don Shurtz, fine arts senior; second, Emory Williams, journalism senior; third, Frank Lisee, journalism senior; honorable mention, Bessie Humphrey, journalism junior, and Elaine Blaylock, journalism senior.
In addition to getting a new name, the Jayhawk Playhouse also elected new officers.
