Grim Students Stock Up For Exam Week
Sweeping toward Lawrence with the speed, violence, and inescapable certainty of the crest of a Missouri river flood, final week is only three days in the offing, and all civilians have been warned to evacuate the University campus for the duration.
Fraternity and sorority quiz files, loaded with the vital information
Most of the student body, with the doors of their study rooms sandbagged, and the rooms provisioned with coffee, benzedrine sulphate, and—well, this is a student paper, are grimly preparing for the worst. Others, adopting a fatalistic attitude, are laughing defiantly in the face of impending doom, clutching for each little straw of happiness before the hell on earth that is final week breaks loose. $ ^{ \circ} $
gathered by years of skillful undercover work by the Greek Quisilins, are the scene of bustling activity, adding to the faculty's cups of sorrow, 90 proof.
Faculty members are reported to be tense and nervous, and their morale has been obviously weakened by reports of a new secret weapon, a foolproof crib note technique never before used. Details of the cribbing method are cloaked in mystery, in spite of the best laid-plans of Kansas reporters to find out. Kansan reporters, of course, would scorn to resort to crib notes, and are interested merely in the interest of news-gathering and scientific progress.
Stories are prevalent in certain well-informed quarters that members of the student body are "selling out," but the general attitude is "Come on, faculty, we're ready for your finals, bad as they may be. We've studied and slaved, and we can pass anything you throw. By the way, did I tell you about me and Josephine, and what really happened at Water-loo?"

Lieutenant Reed said last night that about 40 other students have passed both the mental and physical examinations, but lacked various necessary documents to be sworn in. These men will be given until next Monday to complete their arrangements, and will be sworn in when the recruiting staff returns to the campus.
The board which examined the applicants was composed of Lieutenant Reed, Col. James Dusenbury, and Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service. Lieutenant Reed stated yesterday that although the number of applicants was smaller than expected, the percentage of men accepted was unusually high, so that the total number enlisted would come up to expectations. During the three days, 72 University students applied for enlistment. About 12 failed either the mental or physical examination. The University was the first stop of the recruiting staff in this area. From here the group went to Kansas State College in Manhattan.
