Rock Chalk Talk
By TERRY HERRIOTT
Today's Topic: COLLICH LIFE.
Dear Mom. It is rumored that a certain K.U. fresh wrote home to his mother that he was taking a course in languages and enclosed the following bill: $20 for French, $50 for Spanish, and $200 for Scotch.
Collisch edition. "The Three Bears"—Once upon a time a lowly freshman went to see his fair princess across the campus. He found her dressed in red from head to foot. In his most gallant manner, he said, "Good evening. You look just like Little Rid Riding Hood."
Look, Prof. A K.U. alum was gloating over the fact that good ol' K.U. was considered such a great storehouse of knowledge. A professor commented, "It's probably because the freshmen bring so much knowledge here and seniors take so little away."
Dear Folks: Please write more often, even if it’s only a five or ten.
Pop says. College-bred means a wad of dough, with plenty of crust and a lot of crumbs gathered together for a good loaf.
"Well," she said, "I guess you know what that makes you."
Hubba Hubba. An out-of-state visitor was inquiring about K.U. life and customs last week. "What," he asked, "is you pass word—your college yell?"
Communication from the collicch man who is "selected": Dere Mabel
Here I happen to be in the army just like you said I would be and it's not so bad if you can consider anything that takes the starch out of you not so bad.
As I am one of the only guys in my barracks what had any collicit at all, I am known far and wide as the Brain which I think is very appropriate don't you? It is considered that except for the other 59 guys here I am undoubtedly the smartest.
I have just received a promotion from the captain. I am now a Pvt. (j.g.) I am not sure why. I really like the army.
Your ever-loving Joe.
P.S. I had to make this letter short as I have to see the captain to buck for a discharge.
Parting Thought: A highbrow is a person who is educated beyond his intelligence.
Could Music Room System Be Improved?
Union Activities Supervises
Carnegie Record Gift
The music room, which houses the Carnegie record collection, is just off the southeast corner of the main lounge in the Memorial Union building. The Carnegie grant, made to the University in 1939, included 600 classical records, a record machine and loud speaker, a record case, and six books on music appreciation.
Under the direction of the Union Activities committee, the music room is open three hours a day. 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. These hours were selected, Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Student Union, said, by observing the hours that most students are free.
According to the provisions in the Carnegie grant, the collection is to be used only under the supervision of an attendant and is to remain in the building. It is for informal music appreciation for students and is not to be used for formal class work.
Until one attendant took another job several weeks ago, there were two regular music room supervisors. The vacancy will be filled after the Thanksgiving holiday, Miss Zipple said.
Every other Tuesday the Music Appreciation club, headed by Norma Kennedy, fine arts junior, presents an evening program of records requested in advance.
English War Poetry Displayed in Fraser
A collection of poetry read in England during the war is now on display in the English department in Fraser hall. John R. Tye, English instructor, collected the poetry while stationed with the air corps in England.
Many of the poems were written during World War II by such army poets as John Pudney, Richard Spender, and Alyn Lewis. Mr. Spender and Mr. Lewis were killed in the last year of the war. "Missing" by Pudney, unofficial poet laureate, of the Royal air force, was the most popular in England written in the last five years. Mr. Tye said.
Poems written by Joyce Kilmer and Rupert Brooke during World War I and re-published in World War II also are displayed.
Student Says Collection Not Properly Appreciated
To the Editor:
Andrew Carnegie the philanthropy has provided our University with a fine collection of classical records. However, this gift goes largely unappreciated due to its lack of use.
This lack of use may be attributed to the system under which the records are kept and used. The inadequate music room in the Union building, with its limited hours of use and one machine, offers little opportunity to music lovers to hear the records.
Since the records are a gift it would seem that adequate facilities for their use should be provided. If the record collection would be placed in the library, and the records made available to borrowers on a suitable basis, the use could be greatly increased. A number of small rooms, each containing a record player, would also be necessary, since facilities for the records' use must be provided as well as a means of obtaining them.
Other universities make use of their Carnegie gift of records in this manner. It would be fitting if K.U. were to do likewise. J.W.H.

Lincoln, Neb. (UP)—The change back to standard time found at least one Lincoln church organist prepared. His prelude was Bach's sinfonia, "God's Time Is Best."
He expects to return to the University next semester.

Corporal Richardson Killed
Cpl. James C. Richardson, an engineering student in 1943, was killed in a plane crash in Germany, Nov. 1. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Richardson, 1117 Vermont street, were notified recently.
Corporal Richardson had been overseas since July, 1944, and served as a radio repairman in the Ninth air force in Europe.
He is survived by his parents and two sisters, Mrs. Clarence McCabe, Wakefield, Mass; and Mabel Ann Richardson, a College sophomore.
Laboratory, Clinic To Test Reading
A reading laboratory and clinic to help University students with their reading difficulties will be conducted for the remainder of this semester, Dr. Bert A. Nash, director of the educational clinic, announced today.
While only a limited number of students may enroll this semester, the clinic plans to enroll 75 people next semester.
The clinic diagnoses the reading habits of the student, and then concentrates on the weaknesses, trying to increase both reading speed and comprehension. A film taken of the eye movements while the student reads given material shows the eye muscle coordination and the reading rate. The student's hearing also is tested, Dr. Nash said, because slow reading may result from auditory as well as visual defects.
The clinic, discontinued during the war, will be held at 3:30 p.m. daily in room 16, Fraser hall. Students who are interested should enroll at room 18, Fraser hall, as soon as possible. The laboratory, held two hours each week, will require no outside work, and is not given for credit.
