THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Five-Week Session Was Not A Success
The five-week session has not been a success. Professors working with dogged persistence to make their lectures cover all the material formerly presented in 16 weeks, realize there is a discrepancy somewhere. Although a three hour course in the regular term meets 48 class hours and in the five-week session meets 50, an equal amount of study cannot be covered in the shorter term without cutting down, cramming in, and piling up during the last week.
Students are equally conscious of the strain. If they have consciously completed each day's assignment with carefulness and understanding, they have had time to do little else, including sleep.
Some courses have been less affected than others. Laboratory courses have perhaps been the hardest hit. With no days between lab sessions in which to make up any work of the previous day which didn't turn out just right, students have had to devote every hour the laboratories are open to performing the actual experiments, spending their nights studying the results.
It seems impossible to complete five hours of a language in five weeks. Yet many students started out knowing only "si" or "oul" and are now, with more or less success, ready to start in on the reading and grammar of the various languages. However, they will be working from a distinct disadvantage, for spacing of language learning is essential for beginners.
With such general dissatisfaction over the five-week session, both faculty and students should be grateful it won't happen again. Although it was necessary to insert the shorter term this fall to coordinate military classes with those of the University, the school is now on the tri-semester schedule for the duration. After the war, the former two semesters and summer school will probably be reinstated.
The five-week term worked a hardship on faculty and student-body alike, but with no prospect of another, we can look back on it as an interesting situation. Professors, appreciative of the difficulties confronting the students in their courses, found it only fair to be somewhat lenient in grading, and students should resolve to use the full term coming up to better advantage. There need not be bad after-effects.

And the Army said 1-A—What's happened to this rigorous army training program about which we hear so much? Reliable sources have it that "Chuck" Hunter, army freshman med, and a member of the varsity football team, fainted dead away while volunteering a sample of blood for Lynn Litton, army half of the army-navy twins.

"There's a Time and a Place"—With finals safely over and Sam Cook, Phi Gam, safely pinned to Marj Pollack, Chi O, the Fijis set out to do a little plain and fancy celebrating Wednesday night. They slightly overstepped their rights, however, when calling at the Chi O's, for a 2 a.m. serenade. As one of their members so aptly put it at the end of the concert, pep-rally, or what-have-you. "Any coincidence to persons fictitious or dead is entirely," and the Chi O's agree whole-heartedly.

Snoker Table on the Left-Girls at Harman Co-op have established their own private pool hall in Ruth Marsh and Beth Butler's room with smoke thick enough to cut with a knife. That the room faces directly on the ATO house, now housing army pre-meds, is strictly a coincidence.
For No Good Reason—Virginia Neil's assisted nose dive into a Theta bathtub, and later unassisted landing in Joan Moore's bed; and Katie Burchfield's mirror, well coated with cold cream and powder, furnished the high-lights of a 3-ring brawl at the Theta house Wednesday night. So absorbed were the girls that they scarcely noticed the various and sunday males who seemed to be wandering around the house most of the night. What we'd

Too much Finals, Perhaps—Clothing and Textiles is a fine class, according to Helen Lowenstein, D. G., but Miss Aust brought her cut of a sound sleep in class recently with her question, "What is a material that has nap?" "Why, sheets, I guess," was Helen's quick recovery.

No, it isn't Hell Week—at the A.O. Pi house, although Betty Schieber, pledge, spent two days in the telephone booth—she even ate her meals there and nearly knitted a whole sweater. The secret of it is that her boy friend telephoned her from Rio de Janeiro while she was in class. Not wanting to miss talking to him when he called again, she camped in the telephone booth. He called and, apologizing (at $9 a minute), said he was just lonesome
