TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY-NOVEMBER 3 THE KANSAN COMMENTS University Takes New 'Normalcy' For Granted Life at the University should have resumed normalcy by now, according to semester schedules. Classes have begun, the concert course will offer its first program next week, a University dance is scheduled for tomorrow, the first issue of the Jayhawker will appear later in the month, and the winter semester is under way. Organizations are active scheduling meetings, elections, initiations, rallies, and the like. Yet with all the similarity to other years, the speeded-up schedule of wartime years has begun to tell. The short session, originally planned to coordinate the civilian schedule of two semesters and a summer session with the Navy three-semester plan, has become part of the regular routine. The two and two-thirds years of study instead of a four-year college course has appealed to many students during the emergency. Not content to study in two years the courses considered a pre-war three year schedule, many students have found the speed habit creeping into social life and organizations. Rush week must take less time, coke dates have changed from an afternoon's leisurely conversation to ten-minute meetings between classes, and club meetings stress business problems rather than social programs. As long as students and professors refer to this speeded up schedule as "irregular," and use the phrase, "for the duration," there may be no cause for worry. Some seniors and advanced students may remember pre-war college days of longer vacations, crowded dance floors, and Joe College styles. Since Joe added G.I. to his name, though, the University has met the challenge quickly and efficiently. Many opportunities are offered the serious-minded student in this wartime emergency, and responsibilities weigh more heavily on inexperienced shoulders, but the University has withstood the test. It has proved its ability to adjust satisfactorily to conditions. "Normalcy" for the University means meeting today's problems today. The college student need not fear the future.

This all occurred when suggestions for discussions on current newspaper problems were turned in for the recent Editors Day conference. Busily recording suggestions, Marjorie Skeen, the department secretary, was shocked into inaction when she came across one card reading "Delivery problem—how do you get boys?" ** Returning from Wichita on the train with a number of bundles, Ruth McCurry, Sigma Kappa pledge, almost slept through Lawrence. Awakened at the 11th hour, she grabbed her arm load and lurched grogly toward the end of the car. By the time she arrived, the train was in motion. Standing below her on the platform, however, was a good-enough looking air corps captain, who, after a minimum stimulus of eye batting, suggested that she throw her bundles to him and jump. Jogging along by the train, he caught one item after another, including Ruth. It looked like the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Ruth sighs, until the captain dropped her unceremoniously and swung on the train. Chancellor Deane Malott has been called many things and has had a variety of offices during his career is an educator, but he stood there unazed when confronted recently with his latest alias, discovered on a letter addressed to Diane W. Malott, president of the University Daily Kansan. \* \* \* Wasting no time before getting her first botany assignment, "Pudge" Paslay, Corbin hall, set out for Potter lake in search of algae yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Mayberry's small daughter. In spite of the dangers involved, "Pudge" bravely balanced on the rocks and searched for algae. That she returned to Corbin within a short time dripping wet should convince her professor that she should at least have a plus for effort.
