THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Students Will Have Weather to Combat In Spring Semester
With final week cramming a thing of the past, University students have been leafing through enrollment booklets yesterday and today in preparation for their first real spring semester. In normal years at this season the University would be thinking about midsemester examinations of the second term.
The words, "spring semester" have a fascinatingly different sound for University upperclassmen, and the semester may well turn out to be very different from any in the past. March to July means spring edging into summer in any Kansan's language, and the weather during the ensuing months may well play havoc with the best laid study plans. Kansas weather, well-known for its unpredictableness, has never yet failed to live up to its reputation in the springtime.
A Kansas springtime guarantees plenty of warm, balmy days. It's true that the rains come, and the snows come, but the balmy spring days always come, too. When the evenings begin to get long and light and the illias bloom along the lane, it becomes difficult, to say the least, to concentrate on medieval history.
This semester lasts until nearly the first of July. It can only be hoped that professors will remind those students who haven't already thought of it, that it is much easier to read the text on cold March evenings than during the long summer evenings of late June.
Sigma Xi Will Hear Dr. Debye, Scientist Saturday Evening
Dr. Peter Debye, chairman of the chemistry department at Cornell University, will lecture on "The Magnetic Approach to Absolute Zero" at 8 p.m. Saturday in Fraser Sigma Xi, national honor organization for the encouragement of theater before the local chapter of scientific research, according to Prof. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the K. U. chapter.
A Dutch Nobelist, Dr. Debye is delivering his address under the auspices of Sigma Xi chapters at 14 universities and institutions during the next few weeks. Formerly director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Berlin, Dr. Debye is one of the many eminent European scientists who have come to America to continue their scientific work, Professor Brewster pointed out.

That man again: After being squelched shortly before finals ended by certain fraternity men who took to protecting their women, the Disturbing Element seems to be on the loose again. Delta Gammas came back to school to find their new basketball trophy missing from the mantel. In its place was an ace of clubs, bearing the note, "Thanks, Club Foot Cutie."

The all-purpose cure: One college girl was embarrassed to realize—in the middle of a big night—that she had contracted the hiccups. Her Sig Alph date and other members of the party tried everything but the hiccuping continued. Finally someone suggested being kissed might help. So the Sig Alph kissed her. She got over them all right.

the navy in them: New V-12's
just in from the fleet dropped anchor yesterday at the first enrollment desk (where people give their names). The boys took down the name of every girl who arrived—attempted to get telephone numbers—and rated registrants A, B, C, or D as they walked up the stairs. After a year in Alaska, the sailors seemed inclined to consider anything in a skirt A material. The rating was more for the length of the skirt.
The bumpy Road to Love: There were just 12 people waiting for the same cab last night after the show—10 of them lone girls and two of them Bill Rooffh, V-12, with date, Barbara Thiele, D. G. freshman. Proving that men are powerless in the face of organized resistance from the other sex—the 10 girls piled inside the cab while Bill took to the trunk with Barbara.
Many Will Attend National Music Meet
***
The School of Music will be well represented at the annual meetings of the Music Teachers National Association and the National Association of Schools of Music at Cincinnati starting March 23 and lasting four days.
Both organizations, pledged to the consistent improvement in standards for teaching, arranged last year to have their meetings consecutively and at the same place to save time and travel for colleges having membership in both organizations.
The M. T. N. A., of which Dean D. M. Swarthout is secretary, will meet during the first two days, and the N. A. S. M., of which the dean is an inspector, will convene for the last two days. The last named association is the only accredited body for schools and departments of music in the United States and has a membership of 142.
In his position as inspector, Dean Swarthout returned Sunday from Minnesota where he investigated a school of music for accredited membership in the association.
proach to zero, Dr. Debye will show that by attacking the disorder hidden in the nucleus of the atom there is hope that the world's record for low temperature will be driven below the present figure of a thousandth of a degree Centigrade above absolute zero, Professor Brewster explained.
The Coast Guard Academy, New London, Conn., accommodates 300 cadets.

Jayhawker Board Will Interview Editor Candidates
Candidates for editor of the Jay-hawker will be interviewed by the Jayhawker Board tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, Karl Klooz, chairman of the Board, announced today. Three candidates have already applied, and any others who have had the necessary experience may apply to Mr. Klooz today or tomorrow before the Board meeting. Janet Marvin's graduation in February left the editor's position unfilled.
Mr. Klooz's appointment of Virginia Schaefer, College senior, as business manager of the Jayhawker was approved by the Jayhawker Board Thursday. She replaces Bob Ramsey, V-12, who resigned in the middle of last semester because of his restricted program.
In addition to Mr. Klooz the Board is composed of Dean Henry Werner,

Fire in Bailey Causes Damage of $1000
Men are still working today it the basement of the Bailey Chemistry building amid piles of timber and loose plaster to repair the damage caused by fire last Friday. The blaze broke out about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and was completely extinguished 45 minutes later by the Lawrence fire department. The damage was estimated not to exceed $1,000 by C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
GARY COOPER and INGRID BERGMAN in their roles of Robert Jordan and Maria in Paramount's Technicolor Triumph "For Whom the Bell Toll" Hailed as the Screen's Greatest Entertainment Since "Gone With the Wind."
The fire started in a workshop in the basement where two students, William Haines and David Chamberlain, both senior engineers, were repairing a machine with welding torches. They had been employed by the University to do the work and were called competent workers by Prof. Ray Q. Brewster, head of the chemistry department.
When they discovered the fire, it was a small one in the floor. Before they could put it out, it spread under the floor to the fan room used for a cooling system. Workmen are laying a new floor there now. It was necessary to cut several holes in the walls to reach the blaze. There was no damage to equipment.
By a strange coincidence the fire occurred on the anniversary of another University fire. A year ago the anatomy building was destroyed. This loss was estimated at $40,000.
The fire Friday was called by Professor Brewster the worst of several that have started in the chemistry building through the years. The building was erected in 1900.
At 7 o'clock Friday evening the fire department was called back to the campus. Watchmen thought the fire had started again, but it proved to be a false alarm.
