To Study Or Not to Study Is The Question
One week ago students reluctantly admitted that the eighth week of the spring semester had arrived.
Although that meant that "spring had come" and summer vacation was only two months away, it also meant that mid-semester cramming for tests would begin again.
The idea was far from pleasant, but everyone at least made an effort and began taking stock of the lesson situation by counting up the number of laboratory experiments, mid-term papers, late themes, and sundry other_reports that he'd been planning to do "sometime next week."
14 E. 8th
That meant at least four weeks' studying to do in one night. That was worse.
Then professors began setting dates for quizzes, which involved reading everything they'd assigned since the last test.
But there were two alternatives.
But there were two alternatives. The first was (1) to live at the library all week, or at least until 10 pm, and then (2) to go home and run up the electricity bill by keeping the lights on, studying diligently,
and annoying the roommate.
That was bad.
Former Student Presented D.F.C.
S/Sgt. Kenneth E. Brooks, Tulsa, who attended the University of Kansas in 1937 and 1938 before entering the service, was presented the Distinguished Flying Cross at special retreat ceremonies at Boca Raton Army Air field, a technical school of the AAF Training command.
Sgt. Brooks, a veteran of 51 missions and 247 combat hours with the 15th Air Force, had been previously decorated with the Distinguished Unit Citation, the Air Medal and three Oak Clusters.
The DFC was awarded "for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Mediterranean and North African theatres of operation." Sgt. Brooks is the son of Mrs. Viola Brooks, 1206 South Denver avenue, Tulsa.
The second alternative was (1) to think it over carefully, (2) decide there was so much to do that it just couldn't be done, and (3) to forget about tests and ignore the fact that it was mid-semester after all.
Besides, there are still two months left before finals. Lots of time to do laboratory experiments, write papers, finish themes.
