THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Weekly Paper Should Be Sent To Servicemen
The men and women who have left the University and are in military service here and overseas like to read letters, they tell us. Because they write and ask the staff of the University Daily Kansan to tell them what is going on at the University, the governing board of the paper decided to edit a condensed news sheet which students could send to their friends in the service.
Accordingly, the first edition of the University Kansan Review, servicemen and women's weekly, rolled off the presses. The venture received praise from faculty and students alike. Everybody thought it was a great idea.
It was a great idea, that is, until the Reviews were no longer included as free samples in the Monday issues of the Daily Kansan. As soon as students had to come to the Kansan business office and pay a penny for their copy (to cover expenses) demand fell off.
We thought students would appreciate the packaging of the week's news into a concise bundle of information. We are sure the daughters and sons of this University who are now busy fighting, would like to know what is happening at their alma mater.
But those former students won't have the chance to know all that is going on at K.U. unless you send them a copy of the weekly paper. If you think the University Kansas Review is a good idea, why don't you do your part by sending it to your friends in the service?—E.B.
Few Houses Respond To Quiet Hours Plea
Definite action toward maintaining quiet hours after 11 p.m. has been taken by several houses, Miss Marie Miller, acting dean of women, announced today.
Dr. Ralph I Canuteson, director of the health service, spoke at a meeting of house presidents in Miss Miller's office yesterday, urging them as a group to find a way to enforce quiet hours.
"It is a problem for student government in the individual houses," Miss Miller said. "I don't know of any group who can solve the problem better than the students themselves. Whether they can solve the problem determines the value of student government."

Rock Chalk Talk
By CAROL STUART
The Sigma Chi's have a new and different hobby. They train squirrels to talk baby-talk. Their story is that they found a neighborhood squirrel who was already afflicted, and they thought it would be cute if all squirrels did likewise.
Joe Bukatey, Sigma Chi, became very inspired and conscientious about studying his music after hearing a recent recital. He is making plans for his own recital now, and the high spot of the evening will be Joe's own version of "Poor Patty Murphy."

Students Should Cut Loads Next Semester Lawson Warns
"If you start with less, you can get ahead with more," declared Dean Paul B. Lawson as students are preparing their enrollment schedules or second semester.
"Start with 15 hours of work and feel happy being one jump ahead of the professor, rather than 18 hours of work and being two weeks behind in every course." This sounds logical to the Dean; that's why he hopes every student will take a normal program for the spring semester instead of a maximum program. Students Drop Courses
Within the past week, a number of students have withdrawn from courses complaining that they could not carry a full load. "In other words," the Dean pointed out, "after wasting an entire semester, the course is dropped, credit is lost, the student is dissatisfied, and finds himself behind in all of his other classes, too."
"These men are compelled to take the accelerated program and must make their grades," explained the College administrator, "When they flunk a course, they don't drop it—they are sent off to boot camp. And besides, the regimentation of their hours throughout the week, gives them more time for study."
"But," protest many, "we want to get enough hours to graduate."
"But." protest many, "the V-12's and Army men are taking accelerated programs."
"Professors assign too long lessons," say many.
"Taking 15 hours during freshman and sophomore years and 16 hours in the junior and senior years, and making a "C" average gives a student 124 hours of college credit, the total necessary for college graduation," the Dean replied. Vo'i's Go To Root Camp

"If a student had 15 hours of work instead of 17, he would have one less lesson to get. That would entail four hours less for studying and four hours more for recreation," is the University reply.

Champ of that imported Australian craze, the Hokey-Pokie dance, is said to be Leroy "Robbie" Robison. He's especially adept on the "Put your whole self in, and turn it all about" part.
Prof. J. S, Carey, of the design department, had offered a ride over to Haworth to all those who had a lot of art work to carry. Joyce Hartwell and Jo Johnson tore out to the blue coupe and stood waiting for the heavily burdened to arrive. Along they came, with Professor leading the mob. Very courteously he helped them pile into the car until the sides were bulging, then walked across the street, got into his own car, and drove away.
"Nervous fatigue," say many,
"causes me to do poor work."
Fatigue Causes Poor Work
The most severe case of inertia that we've heard of in a long time is that suffered by Betty Liebbrand, D.G. One night when a large fire-cracker went off right under Betty's bed, she slowly raised herself on one elbow, smiled sweetly, and said, "Come in."

This common malady, as explained by Dean Lawson, is brought about by three causes:
1. War tension caused by worry for loved ones, sweethearts, and relatives who are facing danger in battle areas.

Complimenting the University's Y.W.C.A., Miss Eleanor French, executive secretary of the national student council of the Y.W.C.A., yesterday told an all-membership meeting that the club here should not feel that it is working alone, but that it is a part of a much larger national group.
French Compliments University Y.W.C.A.
Miss French was the guest speaker at the February membership meeting of the Y.W.C.A., yesterday afternoon in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. She is at present making a tour of the Rocky Mountain region and two other of the nine national territorial divisions of the Y.W.C.A.
The national secretary told the club about the work of the national office in New York City, and of its contacts with local groups. She also explained how a Y.W.C.A. conference by mail will be held this year, since the planned convention has been called off in compliance with the recent O.D.T. ruling against conventions of groups numbering over fifty.
Miss French met with members of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet and advisory board at a joint meeting last night at Henley house. The group discussed the relation between the cabinet and board. A luncheon meeting of the finance committee of the advisory board was held with Miss French yesterday noon.
Students Work 70.6-hour Week
The Worcester Polytechnic institute News figures that war-bus students are working a 70.6-hour week under the accelerated program.
2. The accelerated program. We now take the same amount of work in 16 weeks that we previously took in 18 weeks.
"The first two causes of nervous fatigue are unavoidable, but the last one can and should be avoided at enrollment in two weeks," Dean Lawson stressed.
3. Carrying the maximum program rather than the normal load. Can Avoid Heavy Load
"Students who work should arrange to take less than the normal number of hours." Included in these hours are courses sometimes considered as extras: physical education, music lessons, band, glee club, and orchestra.
