Winter Lures But Students Answer 'No'
By GABE PARKS
King Winter did his best to entice weary student and scholars into the open for crisp fresh air this week-end, but largely his efforts were in vain. Too much studying for finals, which will begin Thursday, defeated the frigid gentleman's efforts.
He smote the mercury a mighty smile and sent it tumbling on both Friday and Saturday nights, causing violent arguments in campus sleeping quarters on the subject of "Will you close the window or shall I punch you in the nose?" The fresh air fiends had their way, though since most of the windows were frozen open tightly, while the thermometer dipped lower than the 10-degree mask.
Remain Indoors
But, the Jayhawkers stayed indoors in spite of King Winter's painstaking preparations. Those who though they had their profs stalled off, played basketball in the gym, snooker and ping pong in the Union game room, and indulged in other indoor pastimes in the jelly joints. But few were they who took to the snow-covered hills of Mt. Oread for their exercise.
Ol' Sol during the afternoon undid King Winter's noble attempts to accommodate the skaters on Potter's lake and as a result water appeared on top the ice.
A half dozen skiers coasted down the slope back of Bailey Chemical lab and west of Potter's lake. Most of them got as far as the first deep

Limit Soph Hop To 750
A limit of 750 tickets has been placed on the Jan Savitt Sophomore Hop affair, Fred Littoy, varsity dance manager, said yesterday.
Those 750 tickets will cost two dollars each if purchased at the College business office, the Memorial Union lobby, or Bell's music store before the dance. At the gate, the night of Feb. 22, they will cost $2.25. Liftooey expects a "sell-out" before dance time.
Palmer Given Fine, Sentence Yesterday
Four months in the county jail, a fine of $200, and court costs of $32.50 were levied against Robert Palmer, 24-year-old former student of the University, when he pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of sale of intoxicating liquor last May 10. Sentence and fine were made by Judge Hugh Means when Palmer entered the guilty plea in district court. Milton P. Beach, county attorney, indicated that two other charges against Palmer—possession of liquor and perjury—would be dropped. Palmer has been in the county jail here since Dec. 11 when he was returned on extradition from Oklahoma City.
After years of sitting in front of teacher's desks, 52 University students will have an opportunity to reverse the arrangement and sit behind the desk.

Marriage Brings Lower Bills Higher Grades To Students
Two people can live as cheaply as one.
Without food it is sometimes possible to live on love.
Dwayne Oglesby, college sophomore, made the report after interviewing 12 couples picked at random.
No one but the sheerest fool ever believed any of the above tripe but now comes a sociology student with a report of 12 married student couples that would seem to prove that two people can make better grades when they're married.
The report also proved what everyone else already knew: that two cannot live as cheaply as one—unless the "one" happens to be an elephant. Eleven of the 12 couples interviewed did say that together,
In addition to raising his grade average one student said that he raised decidedly "less hell" after taking to the middle-aisle."
Not long ago a noted authority stated that many divorces were caused by student marriages. These 12 couples of the University feel differently about it. With adequate finances they believe that students should not hesitate at marriage.
two people can live cheaper than they can apart.
While none of the 12 couples were married because he wanted to make better grades, one of them did say "We were married just because we got tired of sitting in coke joints and grinning at each other." Outside of love or a bank account, that's about the best reason ever.
Spring Schedule Shows 17 College Saturday Classes

The teeth of the big Saturday class bear have worn quite smooth since that first "Forty per cent of all classes" announcement last November.

College, Ed Seniors May Enroll Early
As in the past, seniors in the College and the School of Education will be allowed to enroll early, for their spring semester's work, it was announced yesterday.
College seniors will do it this way:
1. Make an appointment with the senior chairman, Prof. G. W. Smith,
at the College office.
2. Before keeping this appointment, (a) Obtain your transcript at the College office. (b) Have a conference with your major adviser and have him sign enrollment card. Office hours for major advisers are posted on departmental bulletin boards. (e) Have Education courses approved by Prof. F. O. Russell, room 18 Oread Training School.
3. Take transcript and signed enrollment card to senior chairman, room 119 Frank Strong Hall, at the appointed time.
4. After obtaining Mr. Smith's signature, return transcript and enrollment card to the College office.
Seniors in the School of Education should see the educational adviser in his office on one of the following days: Monday, 8:30-11:30 and 1:30-2:30; Tuesday, 1:30-2:30 Wednesday, 8:30-10:30.
Seniors who do not make an application for enrollment on one of these days will enroll at the regular time.
Journalism Grad Writes Western
George Nutting, '04, a member of the first class of journalism, recently published a "fighting western" thriller-diller novel, "Horse Thief Canyon."
Nutting, who has been in the real estate business in Texas and California most of the time since his graduation, is the University's first graduate to write a full length western novel. The story, according to book reviews, is not lacking in mystery or originality. Nutting is a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.

Of the 775 classes which are being offered this spring, exactly 47, yes s-e-v-e-n-t-e-e-n, are scheduled to include Saturday. And of these 17, there are only two which carry absolute requirements for specific students. Freshman rhetoric I and Ia are scheduled for Saturday. These are beginning rhetoric courses and only freshmen entering the University between semesters will be required to take them. Even these two classes do not bear iron-clad requirements. Working students can exempt themselves by simply presenting their work cards, signed by employers, on the enrollment floor.
These 17 are not just tacked on from a scratch start. In the spring semester of 1940 there were six Saturday classes for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The rule reads, "Forty per cent of the classes in each department shall be afternoon or Saturday classes. Of this number, one-fourth (or 10 per cent of the total) shall be after 3 p.m. or on Saturday."
Studying the rule, and observing the relatively small number of Saturday classes, one might conclude that there is a great increase in 3:30 class periods. This again is a false assumption. Consider again the 775 classes offered. Of this total there are only 81 lecture and laboratory periods at 3:30 or later. In the spring semester of 1940 there were 68 courses demanding students' late-afternoon hours.
Included in the "twilight" courses, however, are a great many physical education classes. In the spring semester of 1940 there were 27 physical education classes at 3:30, and next semester there will be 25 at that hour.
Appointment classes, fill up the slack in the "forty per cent" requirement. Many professors, while not scheduling regular 3:30 classes, will have them according to the convenience of the students enrolled in the course.
With Saturday class worries off his mind (or at least quieted) the student will wonder what he can take when he wants to take it. The answer is—anything. Almost. Thère are 775 courses, you know.
Everything from advanced equitation, on through electrical measurements, and up to Plato's Apology will be offered University students next semester.
If none of those classes fill the student's desires, he might take the psychology of persuading professors (correction, the psychology of persuading audiences). And then there
