Apple-Polishers Laugh At Prof's Corny Jokes
By DICK MARSHALL
Since the University Daily Kansan's movie critic enlisted in the army, the little man, who appeared in the column to reflect the critic's views on the movies, has not made an appearance in the paper. However, with the fall term drawing to a close, the little man displays new talents characterizing the different types of students enrolled at the University.
Laughing Boy, $ ^{6} $ the apple-polishing type of student, is an astute diplomat. He laughs at the professor's jokes no matter how corny they may be, and the course with a
in return passes the course with a B grade earned with work of C quality. This type student usually wears an undershirt lined with duck down, enabling him to carry out his diplomatic policies at the twitch of an arm.
Quite the opposite of the apple polisher is the student whose principles will not allow him to express himself falsely. This fellow's honesty is
his downfall. If the professor pops a corny joke Honest John is the first to let him know it. Unfortunately this student squeezes by with a C with work of B quality because of his lack of diplomacy.
In almost every class we have one of these overenthusiastic persons who seems to effervesce with erudition. Eager Eddie is not a bit bashful for letting the prof know he's in class. He shoots up his hand at every question and feels slighted when someone else is called upon to recite. He often resorts to raising both hands and squealing with delight whenever a question is asked on which he can quote several authorities. This nasty little bookworm makes perfect grades on all the tests and brings the class average up so high that the rest of the class is constantly in hotwater.
Then there is the poor fellow who studies all night for a quiz and sleeps through the class period. Sleepy Sam is an A student but he is never awake long
enough to prove it to his professors. His presence prevails in 8 a.m. classes.
Passive Pete is the sort of student who never changes his expression. This type student gets under the skin of the professor and the rest of the class
as well. He appears to be in a stupor, unaware of his surroundings, but when called upon, he is always prepared to give the correct answer. Pete is a true student. He minds his own business, eats, sleeps and studies. His social life is a complete void.
Worried Willie is seen in every class. He cringes every time the professor looks in his direction because he never has his assignment. Consequently, he is always called upon to recite. Willie spends one hour a week in the periodical room of the library reading the funny papers, and the rest of the time he builds his reputation as a party boy for the sorority house social register.
Another type of student is the kunckle cracker. He is usually the wise guy (otherwise) who constantly disrupts the class with his self-styled humor
and knuckle solos. This class personality is as popular as limburger cheese at a necking party. The one knuckle that should be cracked is his head.
Last but not least is the bright young fellow who tries to impress the professor with his good posture and polite attitude. This student
is top notch material for the army and that's where he will end up sooner or later. Editors note: Such a bright young man was the Kansas' movie critic, but alas, as you have probably noticed there has been a sharp decline in this type of student as the term draws to a close. Needed: one movie critic.
Skin Grafts May Save Girls Burned In Stove Accidents
Editor's note: Two little girls who live 400 miles apart were severely burned several weeks ago in similar stove accidents. Both are alive today because of extensive skin grafting made possible by modern plastic surgery. The following two dispatches tell of their parallel cases.
Dr. Nils Nordstrom, Jr., a plastic surgeon, performed the usual five-hour operation Tuesday after Susan had been kept alive since Thanksgiving day by injections of the "wonder drugs," ACTH and cortisone.
Binghamton, N.Y.—(U.P.)-Susan Latonick, 8, severely burned over 70 per cent of her body, fought for her life Tuesday aided by six volunteers including a blind war veteran, who gave 288 square inches of skin for a grafting operation.
Twelve men and women, including the child's mother, Mrs. Ellen Latonick, a blind World War II navy veteran, and a legless World War II soldier, offered skin from their bodies in answer to a New Year's day radio appeal by Dr. Nordstrom.
The six he selected for the operation included the blind veteran, Charles P. Jones, 25; William R, Trump, 21, a visitor from Fort Worth.
Binghamton city hospital said Susan still was in critical condition following the operation but was "doing as well as could be expected." Dr. Nordstrom, who took 32 square inches of skin from each of three of the volunteers and 64 square inches from each of the others, said he was keeping his fingers crossed.
Tex.; Mrs. William Tighe, 33, mother of two children; Albert Davies, 20; and Benjamin Foltyn, 22.
Susan lost 55 per cent of her skin six weeks ago when her clothing was set afire by a kitchen gas stove, Dr. Nordstrom said. Another 15 per cent of her body was severely burned, he said.

For $100, Who Wouldn't?
Macon, Ga.—(U.P.)—Pfc. Richard W. Earl never expected to see his wallet containing $100 which he lost on a honeymoon trip to Canada. He received a package containing the wallet, the money and this note: "Do you believe in Santa?" Earl's "Santa" was Joseph Miller of Albany, N. Y.
