Professors
Some are stout, some are thin,
Some go out, some stay in,
Some lie low, some are brave,
Some like show, some don't shave.
Some will join, some hate queens,
Some chase coin, some eat beans,
Some are bores, some are bright,
Some do chores, some can write,
Some will paint, some drink suds,
Some are quaint, some are duds,
Which makes them out peculiar
blokes.
Or just about like other folks. * * *
And Harold A. Larrabee's discourse on professors pretty well covers the subject—especially the part, "just about like other folks."
part, just about like other folks."
One thing students have noticed about professors that is typical of all varieties of the human race is that among their set and in their field some do just enough to get by and some do the extra something that makes them successful.
\* \* \*
The University of Kansas has its share of "successful" profs. There's Frank Jirik and Stephen Stephanou in the General Chemistry course. Instead of using ready-made experiments outlined in the lab books, students are given experiments, made up by the professors, which will help them in their particular vocation. Each week a mimeographed "Scientific Student Review," written by the chem students, reports the progress and peculiarities of the various experiments.

There's Miss Esther Twente who has special discussion groups for her sociology classes. In several of her advanced courses she conducts special meetings which mean more hours of work for her but the same amount for her students.
There's Walter Sandelius whose office looks like a conference bureau most of the time. He arranges individual meetings with students in which the course involved may not be mentioned once—but a lot of other important things are.
***
There are political science courses where students learn about government by actually introducing bills and holding council meeting; there are current event discussions where the student who hasn't opened his head all semester in regular reditation has something to say; there are informal gatherings at the professor's home—Miss Mabel Elliott, E. O. Stene, and Miss Maude Elliott; and there are class projects that take more of the professor's time than the student's.
****
Some professors deliver their lectures, make the assignments, administer the quizzes, and draw their salary. Some professors put themselves out to make their course more than "three hours I had to have in that division." And it's the latter type who make students realize that professors are "just about like other folks."
January, being the month for resolutions, reminds us of that lastword promise that's good 12 months a year: I'll get up early in the morning and finish it.
Time goes, you say? Oh, no. Time stays, we go.
Rock Chalk Talk
New Jersey was never like this. A little high school senior who spent a weekend at a local sorority house wrote home that the schedule seemed to be a succession of strange men, ham, and bull sessions-plus a walky-talky with a stiff smile who kept offering her cigarettes which she doesn't smoke and coffee which she doesn't drink.
Resourcefulness—Hats off to Pat Walsh, Deegee, who couldn't find her shoe polish and discovered that calomine lotion would do the trick just as well.
An early bird gets bitter.—Sunday morning an alarm went off at the Alpha O house and Mary Sedlock dutifully rose to dress for church.
Let's play dolls—Art Hoffman was the lucky Fiji who received a pretty dolly from Sandy Clawz (and his frat brothers) Christmas. For several weeks the fellows kept flattering dolly by saying that she was the only one they could stand around the house (no speaka da English like so many). One day when they returned from class, however, they found the loved one hanging by her fair neck from a rope at the dorm window. A (sob) farewell note pinned to her (sob) taffetta skirt read, "I am dead by my own hand —saved from a fate worse than death."
Letters to the Editor
By JOAN HARRIS
We'll be thinking of you when you trot out on that Cyclone court about 7:30 Friday night. We know that you'll have taken over for keeps by 7:35.
You'll be up there in the tall corn without even a hubba-hubba from us to let you know we're behind you. "But we'll have our fingers crossed.
Fan-Mail Pep-Talk To Team From Students
Here's to our Kansas tornado that's going to make a vacuum out of an Iowa State Cyclone!
Dear Basketball Team:
Leave it to you to go off in the dead of night . . . well, awfully early in the morning anyway, for that game at Ames. You aren't giving us a chance to send you off properly.
Give 'em hell! The students.

The Colgate kid.—Justice Wedell was describing the beauteous little wooded nooks and turns of the scenic memorial drive before a student audience at the Country club. He was making it flowery, and even providing for parking space, when suddenly he glanced down to see Sig Alf Kenny Nohe beaming appreciatively from ear to ear. "Harumph," said the judge, "Probably that's the way I would have felt about it myself, boys."—Another oration of the evening took place at the dinner table, where Hilly Stong had much to say to Eugenia Hepworth and Mary Jo Cox regarding the state of school spirit(s).
Ooo-la-la. Tex Langford, PT 9 apprentice girl" role in an entertaining skirt at the PT's party. Improvising a bit as he left the scene of the skit, Tex, short skirt, sweater, and all, dumped himself on the lap of Commander R. J. Baum, hung an affectionate smack on the officer's pan, and gooded, "Oh lieutenant." The navy boys are planning a citation and award to present to a brave fellow-sailor.
