Kansan Comments Daily Library Circus Knocks Out Study Program of K.U. Students
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
See the greatest show on earth—hurry, hurry, hurry! Be a vev of beautiful babes, wild animals, strong men—all yours, if you step right up.
Never a dull moment here! Thrilling side shows with something happening every minute.
What has a three ring circus got that. Watson library hasn't?

Well, let's see—peanuts, soda pop ice cream—and that's about all, brother.
But then the Watson library "circus" is absolutely free. No cost to you ever. Music, laughter, gaiety, poise—all yours, gratis.
Perhaps you haven't noticed the commotion all hours of the day and night at Watson. If you haven't, it's because you've either making the noise, or you long ago gave up the idea of studying there.
K. U. has a fine library, complete with thousands of volumes and many reading and reference rooms. And what is it used for?
That's right—a meeting place for Joe College, Betty Coed, and all their rambunctious chums. It's really pathetic to watch the so-called "eager beaver" trying to study in the library.
There are people gallivanting up and down the stairs, making more racket than a herd of horses. There are the "students" who traipse outside for a cigarette every ten minutes, and whose conversations drift disturbingly through the windows. There are the lovebirds, who bill and coo at the next table. There are the giggling, gossiping pledges. There is every kind and size of noise in Watson, and it's practically impossible to get anything done there except reading the home town paper.
The library, whether you are aware of the fact or not, is the place for study. Any thinking student who possibly can, steers clear of the library whenever possible, but there are many times, when it is absolutely essential to work there.
There's a time and place for everything. The library's the place for study. So go play in your own backyard!—P.L.P.
Yolanda Meek, pianist and a pupil of Dean D. M. Swarthout, will present the third senior recital of the year tonight in Fraser theater.

Rock Chalk Talk
By CAROL STUART
He Reihly means it — Bill Riehl.
Sigma Nu V-12, has asked that this statement be placed in this column:
He no longer wants to be called Bill.
It is now "Cutie" Riehl, if you please.

The cork pops—Seen one evening just outside the reserve room of the library was "Corky" Baker, Phi Delt, blowing a kiss into the reserve room. We can't figure out whether this sign of affection was because of "Corky's" great love for leaving his studies behind him, or because of his great love for all the coeds in general in the reserve room.

You Ott to have seen them—Chi O's Margaret Ott and Pat Coolidge found themselves characters in the old story of blind date friends of a friend last weekend. However, the two well-khakiied specimens found everything too, too dull all evening, and at an early hour Ott and Coolidge suggested a return to the Chi O lodge in hopes of being able to entertain the two ace yawners there!
The sisters came to their aid willingly. Just as the two boys placidly sat down, in walked Bonnie Holden, garbed in hula skirt, plus umbrella over face. Behind her came Marilyn Sweeney in a giant Mexican hat that
covered all but her legs. In tripped Barbara Moffet in raincoat, boots, flirt hat, and ice skates tied around her neck, and Mimi Nettels with a towel over her head, housecoat on backwards, and a pillow tied around. Marge Kern was there in a long white evening coat, casually carrying a typewriter, and drawing up the silent procession was Margaret Kreider in black evening coat, carrying a waste basket.
The procession calmly passed through the room. Two stunned Looies looked again. "I say, sorority life has certainly changed, old boy," said one. "Best we go now," they agreed. They went.

Quite a feat—Dick Nelson, Sigma Chi, now is asking friends to stop inquiries as to the state of health his feet are in when wearing his repulsive black and white clodhoppers . . . designed by Nelson, manufactured by Nelson, and worn by Nelson . . . only!
