-Lee Sheppeard Some Study Helps For Midsemesters A few weeks ago we ran a frivolous little piece on "How to study." With midsemesters coming up, perhaps it is worthwhile to give some more serious information on the same subject. Most important in learning to study effectively is the student's schedule of activities. If you will budget hours for class, for preparation, and for leisure time, you won't end up unprepared for a test because you went to too many movies. And remember, the University expects you to spend two hours in outside preparation for each hour of class. Plan to study when you are fresh—preferably in the morning or early in the evening . . . Another way to help concentration is to start studying as soon as you sit down at your desk. And a strong interest in the course material will help to stave off day-dreaming. Have a definite place for study. If you can arrange to use it as a place for study only, it will come to mean study. It should be a spot where you will be relatively free from interruptions. Keep your study room well ventilated and not too warm—and you won't drift off to sleep. Be comfortable, not avoid being too much so. Adjust your light so that it will not shine directly in your eyes, and do not work in a glaring light or in a shadow. Avoid sitting on your spine. And an ability to read rapidly and accurately will save a lot of study time. Have something definite to look for when you read. Ask yourself questions about the material as you go along—think what the material means in each paragraph and state it in your own words. Good luck.

All we need now is a vocal by Gene Autry. The chamber of commerce secretary, speaking on the Campus Chest, says "Know your product," and thirty girls blush shyly. Apparently the mechanical age hasn't yet taken over completely. We asked a young friend if it wasn't hard to find something to do Halloween, and he answered "No, it was a pushover." "Present day spirits come only in bottles," says a Kansan story, and our friend Sterno Strainer thinks we need more school spirit at football games. "Irate At Sulphur Deal," reads a headline. We were afraid somebody was going to raise a stink about that. Sterno, you know; is the student with the 3.2 grade average. Daily Hansan News Room Student Newspaper of the Adv.

Eisenhower will fly home Friday night for a two-day conference with President Truman on Western European military problems. News Roundup Ike and Truman To Meet In U.S. Eisenhower will meet with the President and other top officials here on Monday and Tuesday and will fly back to Paris Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Press Secretary Joseph Short said Eisenhower was called home at President Truman's suggestion. But he emphasized that the flying trip was not dictated by any "emergency" in the Western Europe Defense organization which Eisenhower commands. A-Bomb Troops Successful The nuclear explosion that touched off the maneuver came at 6:30 a.m. (CST). Seven and a half minutes later a wave of rushing air hit Las Vegas like an earthquake. It broke plate glass windows on four downtown stores. Las Vegas, Nev.—(U.P.)—The Army held its first atomic maneuvers today in conjunction with an aerial drop of a compact A-bomb and promptly announced that the operation was "most successful." Maj. Gen. William B. Kean, commander of "Operation Desert Rock," said there were no injuries of any kind to military personnel. The Army disclosed no details of the troop participation, however. U.S., Czechs Trade Blows The treasury department suspended tariff concessions made to Czechoslovakia on many products sold in the United States. The higher rates are effective at the close of business today. Czechoslovakia is retaliating by putting into effect simultaneously maximum tariffs on American goods shipped to the Iron Curtain country. Washington—(U.P.)The United States and Communist Czechoslovakia traded new economic punches today over the imprisonment of newsman William N. Oatis and other cold war soubbles. Strike Goes To Facts Board New York—(U.P.)-The wildcat longshoremen's strike appeared headed for a federal or state fact finding board today. The move gave promise of a quick end to the 18-day strike paralyzing the nation's largest port. State Mediation Chairman Merlyn Pitzele met all night with representatives of bath factions of the International Longshoremen's association (AFL) and said that he would announce "what extraordinary measures will be taken" after conferences with Washington and Albany officials. Princess Decorates Tombs Arabs Threaten 'Traitors' Britain's future queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, have scored a sentimental conquest since their arrival Wednesday, unequaled since the 1939 visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth. Washington—(U.P.)—Princess Elizabeth placed a wreath today on the tomb of George Washington who led American armies in victorious rebellion against her Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather, King George III. She placed a second wreath on the tomb of America's unknown soldier—who helped her country win two world wars. The Interior Ministry disclosed Tuesday that "liberation battalions," determined to force the British out of Egypt and the Sudan, are springing up throughout the nation. It said they were able to obtain arms on the black market. Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)The Egyptian underground movement warned today that hereafter any person helping to supply British troops will be lashed in a public square and branded on the face with fire. To Ask Tax Collector Change Washington—(U.P.)President Truman will recommend to Congress in January that all collectors of internal revenue be brought under civil service and subjected to the standards of that service, White House officials announced today. An open letter to Ralph G. Henley, third year law: Dear Mr. Henley: Confused Letters: Dear Mr. Henley: How confused can YOU get? Your letter, which appeared in the Kansan Monday, stated, "The movies of the Oklahoma game were shown at 7:30 p.m. . ." You criticized the Kansan for leading the reader to believe the film was "... to be shown at either 8:00 or 8:30 (and in the same article!)." If you had looked on the front page instead of the sport page you would have seen a box announcement which stated the time of the showing to be 8 p.m., both in the headline and in the body of the announcement. Extension To Sponsor Business Insurance Seminar A one-day seminar on business insurance problems will be presented in Wichita Friday Nov. 9 under the auspices of the Kansas and Wichita Life Underwriters associations and the University Extension. Amos Kramer, manager of the E. Wichita extension center, said the formal program would be from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Lassen hotel. The film was shown at 8 p.m., not 7:30 as you stated in your letter. You see it only human to err and we of the Kansan are only human. But if you must criticize, you might do well to remember the cardinal rule of journalism. . Get your facts straight. Dick Marshall Journalism senior The Great Dane STORM COAT Keep Warm!
