Easier to eep Up Proverb Haunts Hill
"It is easier to keep up than to catch up."
During the next two weeks, those ten words are going to ring in the ears of final-cramming students, and will jump at them as they toss and turn in their sleep.
Than Catch Up
It was approximately eight years ago, that Registrar Geo. O. Foster posted the above 10-word slogan in the front hall of Frank Strong.
Thousands of students have read it. To some the words served as a motto; others regarded the slogan as just another proverb to forget if possible. The latter group agreed among themselves that they were just too tired whenever it was time to study.
Every semester, come exam week,
the catch-uppers wonder why they
think they can learn the whole course
in one night, and wearly turn their
thoughts toward being future Jack
Bennys instead of Ph.D.'s.
The strict 10-word slogan may be a nightmare now, but on June 5 finals will be over, and both keep-uppers and catch-uppers can forget it for the summer. The words will still be there next year to jump at sunday students the week before finals.

Thomas To Talk On War Affairs
Students will get a first-hand account of the world situation tomarow when Norman Thomas, perennial presidential candidate of the Socialist party, speaks at 8 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Besides his prominence in national politics, Thomas is an important figure in American peace drives. He is a member of the executive committee of the "Keep America Out of War Congress," and is now making a tour of colleges and universities campaigning for non-interventionism.
Thomas' speech will be sponsored by an unorganized peace group on the campus.
