Last Lap of Final Week Shuts Down Night Life
Sunday, usually known as the day of rest, will prove to be anything but a day of rest for the harried University students who have a 9:30 class and face the ordeal of a final examination tomorrow.
Students who thirst after knowledge will have a last chance to satisfy that thirst today before the examinations enter the final lap ending Thursday. After Thursday the poor student can only cross his fingers and wait for the faculty members to decide fate by adding, subtracting, and dividing his grades.
Students with 3:30,10:30,and 1:30 classes can breath normally again since examinations for those classes were held last week.

Would-be writers who wish to improve their writing ability will have an opportunity to do so next semester in a laboratory clinic sponsored by the department of English.
The clinic, designed for students other than those deficient in composition, will be held each weekday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 under the supervision of a member of the department.
No formal registration is required for the course will have no credit. It is not open to student regularly enrolled in rhetoric courses. The only requirements, according to Dr. John W. Ashton, head of the department, are serious intent and a reasonable regularity of attendance.
Success of this project at Iowa University spurred University officials to install a similar clinic.

Not Red, Not Green Navy Blue, and Socko!
New York, Jan. 25-(UP)Throw away those red dresses girls. It was scientifically proved yesterday that man feels a stronger "emotional surge" when confronted by navy blue than by any other color.
-Disturbs Male Pulse
Upsetting the belief that red is the most exciting color, a psychometer registered the reactions of eight men and found that blue, not red, made their hands clammy and their hearts beat faster.
The eight men were two stage stars, two footballers, two ushers, and two brokers. Green ran a poor second, and red was third. The test was conducted by M. E. Muniz, director of the psychological testing bureau, and Herbert Thompson Strong, color consultant of the Museum of Science and Industry. Muniz is also co-inventor of the psychometer, better known as the "lie director."
The two actors—Ole Olsen of "Hellzapoppin" and Lyle Talbot, currently in "Separate Rooms," varied widely in their reactions. Olsen's emotions leapt at the sight of red, although yellow is his favorite color. Talbot favored blue.
She printed her 20 original poems on her own press and a had a professional bind them into a book. On the cloth binding she stenciled the theme design, a cat with a high-arched back. The collection of poems she entitled "The Cat That Walks Alone."
Local Girl Issues Volume of Poetry
Rachel Ragle, a sophomore in the University, who lives in Lawrence, has just published her own book of poems.
The edition was limited to 50 copies, which Miss Ragle distributed to friends.
