Fewer Social Events Mark Semester End
This new year holds different prospects for most persons than former new years. Today most students attended classes on New Year's Day for the first time in their lives. In a month, an estimated four hundred men will leave the University for service in the armed forces.
However, the coming of 1943 manner and "Happy New Year' among friends. A large crowd attended the K.U. Country Club in Hoch and church groups had planned watch-parties.
However, the coming of 1943 was celebrated in the usual manner and "Happy New Year" greetings were exchanged among friends. A large crowd*
Due probably to approaching finals, to the enormity of the social plans last night, and to late closing hours for New Year's Eve, this will be a comparatively quiet weekend. In fact, if history repeats itself, until the end of the semester students will reverse the "country club" attitude and go into hibernation, so to speak, to cram for finals.
One of the few entertainments planned this weekend is the formal sailor dance in the Community building. The band that played for the Christmas formal sponsored by WAA for the sailors has been booked again. Women of the University with written permission from Miss Meguiar may attend.

Young Couple Found Dead In Car Today
Kansas City (INS) — A young Kansas City couple still attired in evening clothes were found dead in a parked car today after a New Year's Eve celebration.

Police said the deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Fumes of the motor, apparently kept running for warmth, had seeped into the tightly closed car

Marie Wilkins Wins Contract
Because Lily Pons had a cold, Mrs. Marie Wilkins, wife of Prof. Joseph Wilkins of the voice department, is now a permanent member of the Metropolitan Opera company. She was awarded a contract last week.
It happened this way:
In November Mrs. Wilkins went to New York to try once more for a singing career. She went to see Willfred Pelletier, who had heard her sing last year in the auditions of the air in which she went to the semifinals and asked for another chance in the auditions.
He suggested that she try "Lakme" as it was an opera that few sopranos try. Then on Nov. 30 Pons was indisposed and Mrs. Wilkins was asked to take her place in rehearsals. Late in the afternoon on Dec. 1, Mrs. Wilkins was informed that she was to sing the title role of "Lakme" in Miss Pons' place the next evening. She did and her debut was a success.
Metropolitan officials did not specify the terms of Mrs. Wilkin's contract nor the roles she will sing.
As of November 1, the OPA forbade billiard parlors, pool halls and bowling alleys to raise their prices.

Two Colleges Plan Sacrifice Weeks
Two colleges, the Kansas State Teachers College and the University of Maryland have launched "sacrifice weeks" on their campuses. Kansas State Teachers will go "coke-less, smoke-less, and candy-less," and the University of Maryland students will give up desserts, movies, cokes, and candy bars for seven days. At both colleges the money saved will be contributed to war projects.
