How To Study (?)
These helpful hints are reprinted from the Kansas State Collegian. They appeared originally in the N.E.A. Journal, in an article written by Hunter college philosopher Robert Tyson.
1—Look alert. Take notes eagerly. (If you look at your watch, don't stare at it unbelievingly and shake it).
2—Take newspaper clippings to class that deal with the professor's subject. (This demonstrates fiery interest and gives the professor timely items to mention to the class. If you don't find clippings dealing with his subject, take any old clipping at random. He thinks everything deals with his subject.)
3—Nod frequently and murmur. "How true!" (To you, this seems exaggerated. To him, it's quite obvious).
4—Sit in front near him. (Applies only if you intend to stay awake).
5—Laugh at his jokes. (You CAN tell when he cracks one. If he looks up from his notes and smiles expectantly, he has told a joke). You don't have to be sad it. Just ask.)
7-If you must sleep, arrange to be called at the end of the hour. (It creates an unfavorable impression if the rest of the class has left and you sit there alone, dozing).
8-Be sure the book you read during the lecture looks like a book from the course. (If you do math in psychology class and psychology in math class, match the books for size and color).
9—Ask any questions you think he can answer. (Conversely, avoid announcing that you have found the answer to a question he could not answer, and in your younger brother's second grade reader at that).
Paste these study aids inside your hat. Abide by them and you'll be one of the best students in school.
10—Call attention to his writing. (Produces an exquisitely pleasant experience connected with you. If you know he's written a book or an article, ask in class if he wrote it).
Whether you want to do any work in addition to the 10 rules is strictly optional.
To the 10 rules given by the Collegian, we'd like to add a couple of our own.
11—Go out for one of the minor sports. (If you want to cut class you can tell the professor you're in a tennis or swimming meet. He doesn't read the sports page anyhow).
12—Carry a package of breath pills to class. (You may want to have a beer on the way, and alcohol on your breath might make him envious).

Can this be a sign of the times? The third paragraph of the story telling of the engagement of two young celebrities says, "The two have been in love for some time."
Then, down in paragraph 10, the shy young bride-to-be is quoted as saying, "We met two weeks ago." My, how time goes by.
Can't you picture the two of them sitting beside a cozy fireplace, talking over the beautiful times that led to their engagement. He tenderly turns to her and says, "Darling, it seems like only yesterday that we met."
Then she dreamily looks up into his face and replies, "Dearest, it was only yesterday."
It's rumored that the K-State football team has a new motto— "Faith, hope, and charity." Bill Meek has faith, the fans have hope, and any touchdowns can be credited to charity.
As the first attempts at national rankings of college football teams appear, I'll toss out that old armchair quarterback question, "Could a good college team beat a good football team—salaries being equal, of course?"
The news that GOP national chairman Guy George Gabrielson is being questioned about exerting influence in the R.F.C. comes as quite a surprise. We didn't know that there was any place left in Washington where a Republican had any influence.
New Equipment In Student Union
A portable public address system, an electric hand-drier, and two electric cafeteria signs have recently been purchased for student use by the Union operating committee.
The portable public address system has a 25-watt amplifier and TV type microphone. The TV type mike, which is long and thin, does not obstruct the view of the person speaking as much as the ordinary type mike.
Included with the mike is a three-speed record player with volume and clarity control particularly adaptable for large dances and meetings such as are held in the Union ballroom.
Patrons of the Union cafeteria cannot miss the new electric "closed" and "open" signs which replace the unsightly cardboard signs formerly used.
Other new equipment planned for includes a postage machine, coin-changer, equipment for the Hawks' Nest, and various equipment for the Union kitchens.
IBM Sends Out Request For Engineering Graduates
Representatives of International Business Machines have sent out a call for engineers. Any major, who graduated with the last year and a half is eligible.
Interested engineering personnel are urged to contact Mr. K. E. Van Antwerp in the Kansas City, Mo., office.
One or two men are needed immediately.

Glass Of Beer Costs Customer $60
St. Louis (U.P.)—The beer Lawrence Langeneckert had at a corner tavern cost him $60 because it wasn't his in the first place.
Mabel Hill, operator of the tavern,
told the judge that Langueckert
came into her tavern and refused to
leave when she ordered him out.
Then, she said, he grabbed a glass of beer from a customer and drank it. That's when she called police.
The formal charges were peace disturbance and resisting arrest.
