Here's 'Inside Information' For All The New Students
She Has a System To Help Your Studying at K.U.
Whether you are working for an A.B., B.S., or an MRS., it is inevitable that you will have to do some of this stuff called studying. After being at K.U. for a semester, here are my suggestions.
By LORNA RINK (Who's a Freshman, Too)
Gather everything together that you will need so you won't have to jump up every two minutes to find something. Have a dictionary handy to look up doubtful words. Even though you may think so, a nostrum is not what a speaker stands on, impunity has nothing to do with being puny, and an optimum society is not composed of good-humored and optimistic people.
Burn out a tube in your radio and forget to have it fixed. Have a chair comfortable enough for sitting but not for sleeping. Never, under any circumstances, face the bed while studying. It is destructive to morale. Remove all objects, especially mirrors, out of reaching distance. In extreme cases, turn the dresser toward the wall.
Destroy time wasters. A big time consumer are those chats with the person down the hall. Discourage the person down the hall from dropping in on yon. If necessary, buy a padlock. If you have a roommate, I believe friction tape is still on the market.
Read everything twice, first for the general idea and then for outlining. Your outline will be briefer and clearer. Learn new terms thoroughly before spouting them off to colleagues to impress them with your intelligence.
Reason things out. The primary purpose of the head is not growing hair, even though it is the best function of some. From childhood, we have accepting opinions of parents, teachers, and other adults without question. For instance, politics. My father is a Republican, so I am too. My doctor almost got his finger bitten off because he called me a Democrat while he was taking out my tonsils.
Don't form an unshakeable opinion from the first article you read on a subject. Remember the author was a human being and he probably needed the proceeds to buy his kiddie a new pair of shoes.
I don't mean for you to consume every work in every book. I detest bookworms. They make me realize how stupid I really am. But your studying time can be cut a third, perhaps a half, if you study without interruptions. Plan for better and shorter hours and more of the thinker and less of the parrot.
Need a Tux?
This Is Yours
If You Fit It
A good tuxedo—and it's all for free!
The complete suit is to be given to some student it will fit, Dean Henry Werner said today.
The tuxedo was given to the University by a woman who wishes to keep her identity unknown, Dean Werner said. The person to whom the suit is given must use it himself, since it was given to the University on condition that it not be sold.
Students interested may call at the office of student affairs to see the suit, Dean Werner said.
An exhibit of Kansas pottery is on display in the main hall of Thayer museum, Mrs. Mary Warner, curator, said today.
Pottery On Display In Thayer Museum
The pieces are all made of Kansas clay by University students and teachers, she said. The pottery will be shown through February.
By REBECCA VALLETTE (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
Today is "question day" for new students, and here is the "answer sheet" for all those problems that are puzzling you.
Where do you live? What do you wear? When should you get in at night? Where can you smoke? What about a car on the campus? Want to work? What are the library rules? What about relaxation?
The answers to them all are here, conveniently indexed and outlined, especially for the many new students on the campus. The information here has been checked with University authorities for accuracy.
If you have any further questions, call K.U. 25, the Daily Kansan office, ask for Information Service, and a reporter will help you.
A problem which concerns women more than men is what to wear. Skirts and sweaters, and saddle shoes are most popular for campus wear. In fact, this uniform will take you to Midweeks, Wednesday Union dances; to basketball games; to meetings; and on lots of dates. For special concerts and Varsity dances, you wear heels, hose, and dresses. Come Saturday don your oldest pair of blue jeans and loudest plaid shirt.
HOUSING
If you're looking for a place to live, go to the newly organized Central Housing office in 220 Frank Strong hall. There you can talk to Irvin Youngberg, director, who will tell you what rooms are available.
CLOSING HOURS
CLOTHES
Take notice of K.U.'s closing hours for women. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights, 10:30 p.m.; Sunday nights, 11 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 12:30. Closing hours on nights preceding holidays, preceding vacation periods, and during vacation periods, during registration and enrollment, and Commencement, and on night vacations end are at 12 pm. These times are official from the Adviser of Women's Office.
All Student Council is strict about smoking regulations, so better watch where you light up. Smoking in University buildings is restricted to the press rooms of the Journalism building, first floor hall of Green hall, basement hall of Frank Strong hall, first floor hall of the Hydraulic laboratory, and the lobby of Snow hall.
SMOKING RULES
Lots of students earn while they learn at the University. If you are a man and want to work, see Dean Werner. If you are a woman, go to the Women's Employment Bureau in 121 Frank Strong hall. Wages on the hourly rate for most jobs vary from 35 cents an hour up.
The Union is not included in this ban.
Driving a car to college is quite a problem, as you can't park on the campus without a permit. You apply for these licenses in Dean Henry Werner's office, 228 Frank Strong hall. They are issued for reasons of employeessponsibility, andability, and residence from the campus. After the permits are approved, they may be obtained at the Business office.
PARKING RULES
About the library—Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday. 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

JOBS
LIBRARY
books there is a 25-cent fine for each hour, the book is overdue.
If you want to read the hometown newspaper, you'll find it in the periodical room.
SOCIAL LIFE
Then if you don't want to study all the time, there are lots of fun carties every week-end. You can have as little or as much social life as you want at K.U.
ORGANIZATIONS
Whatever your interest—singing, dramatics, engineering, business, or any other—you'll find lots of companions in Hill organizations. For a complete list, look on page 19 of the Student Directory.
UNION
For loafing, snoozing, relaxing, eating, dancing—go to the Union. In the sub-basement you'll find the soda fountain, where fudge sandaes and bridge games are popular. Offices there include the book exchange, Independents office, Jayhawker office, Union Activities, and others.
The cafeteria, which is open every day, is on the next floor. Easy chairs, radio, ping pong tables, and the Music room are on the first floor. On the third floor is the Kansas room, scene of many private parties; the Fine room, used chiefly for meetings; and the English room, used for teas and private parties.

Students May Relax in Restful Union
When day's work is done (and sometimes a wee bit before), the restful and relaxing quarters of the Memorial Union call the K.U. student for a few moments. Pictured here is the Union's English room, with spacious fireplace. The gift of a graduating class, the English room is one of a score of "nooks and corners" into which Jayhawkers may hide themselves for contented contemplation.
