Library Overflowing As Finals Begin Tomorrow
The words of a popular song include "It's a lovely day tomorrow," but at least for today, University students can pick a quarrel with the guy who wrote those words.
Librarians have been in training for the last two weeks, preparing for the onslaught of students who make the library their second home during final week.
All is quiet on the Mt. Oread front tonight, and there is no sign that the silence will be lifted until sometime next week. Any persons desiring a gay social whirl right now will have to wait until next semester. Until then, the Hill studies.

We're Sorry--- 'No' To Hikers Union At Minnesota U.
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 22-(UP)An attempt to organize a hitch-hikers union has created a stir on the University of Minnesota campus.
When the university's committee on student affairs turned thumbs down on a proposed union of student ride thumbers, organizers of the hitch-hikers' union countered with a flood of letters to newspapers, city of-
Honor Frosh At Ball
A University freshman whose birthday coincides with President Roosevelt's will be the guest of honor at the Kansas City President's ball for infantile paralysis victims.
He is Bill Ball of Atchison who was stricken with infantile paralysis last November and taken to Providence hospital in Kansas City for treatment.
While recuperating at the hospital he was visited by Francis Blake of Kansas City, chairman of the ball committee. Blake engaged in conversation with Ball and was surprised to learn that Ball's birthday coincides with that of the President's—Jan. 30. Impressed by the youth's courage, Blake decided that it should be rewarded.
So Ball probably will attend the ball as the guest of honor. His leg, affected by the disease, now is in a brace.
Witan To Entertain Saturday Night
Witan will entertain with a dinner in the Party room of the Eldridge hotel, Saturday at 7:30. Approximately 25 members of the organization are expected to attend.
Although only 80 students will be allowed to take the CAA flight course next semester, Prof. Earl D. Hay, CAA director said today that 156 had made applications and that he would still receive additional ones.
There will be a short program, and after the dinner, card playing, according to Haven Glassmire, president.
Hay Will Still Receive C.A.A. Course Applications
Eligibility is determined by a method of selection, so men wishing to enroll in either the primary or secondary course still have a chance.
ficials, and prominent citizens.
The quota for the primary course is 50 and 125 have already applied. Applications in the secondary course with a quota of 30, have reached 31.
The object of the union is to get transportation to and from the university for students who are unable to obtain rides and cannot afford street car and bus fare, said George Roman, leader of the movement.
The committee on student affairs, however, refused to recognize the group as an official student organization because "its ends might violate the law."
A state statute forbids hitchhiking on "curbs and sidewalks." Moreover, Roman said, since city ordinances differ in their definitions of the width of streets, there are a number of instances in which the law could be controverted on technical grounds. Part of the proposed union, he declared, would be a clarification of the "anti-hitching" law.
Members of the union, he said, would receive badges for identification, and regular "hitching-posts"—ride-thumbing areas similar to street car stops—would be established.
Organization of an official union. Roman declared, would enable hitch-hikers to build up a regular ride clientele.
Bailey Laboratories Get New Equipment
Bailey laboratories has added a new spectrophotometer to its equipment, R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, said yesterday. This machine helps chemists to analyze a substance by studying absorption spectra of solutions.
"Almost any colored substance will absorb light of a certain wave length and the amount of absorbed light is proportionate to the concentration of the solution," Professor Brewster said.
He explained that by comparing a carefully prepared solution of known strength with those of unknown strength the concentration of the unknown solutions may be determined.

To Be Well Dressed Aim of Most Women
How seriously do you take your fashions, gals?
Would you be willing to deprive yourself of necessities in order to be in style? Results from a recent survey of ninety University of Kansas co-eds on the psychological motivation of fashions show that one out of two women on the Hill puts being well and fashionably dressed on the top of her "must list." persons interviewed preferred
Interviewers were agreed 100 per cent that being appropriately dressed increases self-confidence and tones up manners and behavior. They showed that, for the most part, they choose their clothes with the idea of bringing out the best qualities of their personalities. Two women indicated on the questionnaire that they dressed to win the approval of opposite sex, while the rest favored pleasing themselves, as well as trying for a good general impression.
Asked where they got their ideas on fashion, most of the style seekers showed that fashion magazines were the source of inspiration. Modes seen on the street and campus rated a close second to newspaper advertisements as idea prompters.
Women's practical mindedness is shown by the fact that nearly all the
persons interviewed preferred a wardrobe that includes a few expensive dresses, rather than one that consists of a large number of less expensive dresses and outfits. Paradoxically, these same persons do not consider usefulness as much as becomingness when they buy.
Results show that the average woman buyer wants styles that are authentic, well-established, yet she wants that new twist to identify her costume as up to the minute. A composite picture of her ideas on fashion would be something in surrealism—and just as understandable!
