THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Short-Cut Becomes Campus Eyesore
The pathway begun over the snow and now down to dirt under the glass offers a great temptation for a short cut across the campus. When all the snow is gone, it will perhaps be such a habit to go this way that the path will become a dirt walk.
The path was started by Yahawi—as least, no one is going to confess to the deed. Many students, especially from other colleges where it was customary to walk on the grass, do not think this path is out of the ordinary. Older students at the University, however, must have pangs of conscience as they traverse the greenward but follow the crowd as their excuse.
After the Anatomy building burned, a great deal of time and money was spent by the University to plant grass and smooth over a campus eyesore. This effort seems to have gone to waste as students thoughtlessly trump over the grass.
The frequent melting and softening of the ground in between freezing weather is rapidly making a muddy slush of the pathway. By spring there will be a definite eyesore. It is certainly to be hoped that this habit of short-cutting can be stopped before it is too late.
Directory Reveals Names and Numbers; Is Issued This Week
"Oh, so that's where she lives!" "So, she does have a telephone number!"
"Hey, look what his middle name is!"
These exclamations could be heard anywhere on the campus Jan 3, the day that the Student Directory came out.
Students with the directories found themselves suddenly popular as groups of boys or girls gathered around them, clamoring to see the names of their favorites in print. When each privileged person had finally obtained it from the owner, he could be seen leafing through the pages, looking up first names, middle names, and addresses of those whom he knew and would like to know, while other telephone number seekers looked over his shoulders, nudged him, and insisted "I get it next!" Not much studying went on in the library after the first advent of students with directories.
The Student Directory is one of the most important registers, issued every year by the University of Kansas to its students. Ask the students themselves, and they will tell you that it is essential to them, that it is one of those "musts" that also boosts the student morale. Looking through it, one finds that Johnson is the most popular name, with 29 of them listed, and that Smith and Jones run a close second and third, with 27 and 24 respectively. Beginning with "Abbe, Richard W." and ending with "Zweifel, Samuel, Jr.", this small directory of 79 pages contains every student's, faculty member's officer's and employee's name, including army and navy men. Lindley Hall telephone numbers are not given.
Not only can the directory boast of letters and telephone numbers of beautiful girls and handsome men; it also has advertisements of Lawrence merchants, classified names of departments and department heads of the University, clubs and presidents of clubs and societies, both honorary and social. Inquisitive University students will find it a storehouse of information.
P. S. The asterics after faculty names means they are married.

Lock out below: The Delta Gams have a new pet which may or may not deserve its welcome. While Harriet Witmer, fine arts junior, was drawing stuffed birds in Spooner-Thayer museum this week, she decided to take a short intermission. Outside, she found the real McCoy, a baby pigeon. Thinking it looked cold, Harriet brought it in and wrapped it up in her coat. The discovery was then made that stuffed birds have better manners than live ones. The Delta Gams are rather dubiously awaiting the time when their pet will take wing.
The latest ingenuity displayed in invitations were those sent out by boys in PT3 for their party tomorrow night. The girls are informed that they are to appear before a general court martial to defend themselves ("we hope you don't") for several offenses. Out of military courtesy, only two were listed. The dates will be escorted to the barracks by "armed sailors."
Signs of the times: Hazel DeWald and Lavon Peters, Westmister hall,

Late to bed
And early to rise
Make gals like us

What's in a name? New things always come to light when the student directory is published. Who would have guessed Kirk Scott, Gene Pucket, and John Heffernan, Christian names of Closken Kirkall of PT1, were blessed with the patrick, Johnnie Eugene, and John Timothy? Then we have Klemenhagen—Joseph Leopold, to be exact, ASTRP—who hails from way up in Long Prairie, Minn. Not to be forgotten are Arnold Ried Dollarhide, ASTRP, and Noel Richardson Slipsager, V-12.

Student Newspaper Prints Reduced Size Sheet
The Targum, student newspaper at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J., is published once in two weeks; before the war, it was issued twice a week.
Last spring, the paper was suspended "for the duration," but it was revived in September. The page size was reduced; some issues consist of a single sheet, printed on both sides.

WSSF Book Drive Will Begin Monday
A book collection will begin Monday to be conducted for a week by members of the World Student Service Fund committee of the YWCA for the benefit of students all over the world and allied prisoners-of-war.
Thousands of books are needed, and an appeal is being made by the committee for all students to cooperate in the drive by contributing books of the following types—modern college or preparatory school text books on any subject, language study books, and professional texts.
Aside from those written in English, these books may be in French German, Italian, Serbian, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Dutch, or Spanish.
For convenience of collection, a box will be placed in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall. Books will also be gathered from the various houses according to Eloise Penner, chairman.
This is the first time the WSSF committee has sponsored a drive of this type on this campus.
Wilson Appointed As Probate Judge
J. B. Wilson, attorney and graduate in 1904, was appointed Douglas county probate judge yesterday by Governor Andrew J. Schoeppel. Mr. Wilson will complete the unexpired term of Frank Gray, recently commissioned a lieutenant in the United States navy.
Taking office Jan. 8, when Lieutenant Gray's resignation becomes effective, Mr. Wilson will serve until the second Monday in Jan. 1945, provided that Lieutenant Gray does not return before that date.
Mr. Wilson, a Phi Beta Kappa, attended the University School of Law. He became a member of the bar in 1911. Sinne then, he has served as justice of the peace for the county, as county attorney, special assistant attorney, and chairman of the Republic central committee.
