I Approach of Final Exams Drives Students to Cigarets, Coffee---and the Library By Mary Schulles, c '12 "The time has come" as the walrus said, "to think of many things." And Joe and Betty College are indulging in this extra-curricular cranial activity in a daze—sacre it please, we meant maze—of long-since-used and dusty volumes in the labyrinth of these doors of higher learning are Watson Library. The University library has been the mecca of studious activity, for as one instructor said, "We worry about you students for the first 16 weeks, but the last two you start to worry about yourself." The library, with its 270,000 volumes of literary lore, seems to be the logical place in which to worry. about the semester's end that all play and no work results in those kneeshaking conferences with deans, not to mention parental work at the "unsatisfactory-work" notes sent home. Under usual conditions the yawning chasms of the library's study room has a mere 1,500 consistent students than they were less than. Wending their way each day to some 3,500 students who find out just half the amount whose themes, reports, and finals are now luring all to study. are using black coffee for other reasons than "double vision cure." Its nervous stimulation enables them to greet the wee small hours with wide awake minks. With a cigarette in one hand, they can study their student sees visions of Plato and hallusinations of logarithms floating through the smoke. The library is not the only recipient of student activity at final time; the cigarette dealers and coffee merchants get a big play. Mr. Chase and Ms. Sanderson, from the University from the University and its "crumming" for the students The ring of the telephone that once UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN gave feminine members of the University such moments of anxiety now escapes unnoticed. There is no doubt as to the context of the speech going over the wires. Ten to one it will be. "How about a date tonight? I've got a lots of studying to do." So off they go, chin deep in books, and University life takes a turn for the quiet, at least until finals are over. OFFICIAL STUDENT PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME XXXVII Z-229 LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1940 Missouri's Home Jinx Holds NUMBER 78 Frost Puts Bite on Ears, Fingers Weather Nips Symphony Attendance - Only 100 Hear Orchestra in Strictly Symphonic Program; Feature Jan Chiapusso as Soloist Barely 100 persons took the measure of sub-zero weather to see and hear the University Symphony orchestra present its thirty-seventh annual mid-winter concert in Heeh auditorium last night. Conductor Karl Kourestein led the 100-percussion orchestra in a strictly symphonic program that introduced pianist Jan Chipupe in his initial guest appearance with the orchestra. Making no attempt to please those who prefer a purely instrumental approach, he selected the orchestra played selections from the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Howard Hanson, contemporary American composer. Chiapusso Featured Playing in a manner that represented a distinct improvement over former concerts, the orchestra first followed the baton movements of Kurl Kusterleer to play Moazier's overture to the opera, "Die Ent-führung aus dem Serail." A story of comedy and romantism, this opera marked an end of the eighteenth century and the overture played by the symphony took the place of what is known today as the "curtain-raiser." Coming to the stage for his much-anticipated solo appearance, pianist Jan Chipaupso played the solo parts of Ludwig Beethoven's "Fourth Concerto in G Major." Even in this number show and display in the solo part were not the dominant tone but piano and orchestra blended in producing the symphonic result. Play Hanson Composition As a note to all but a few of the 4GL students enrolled at the University, you missed a highlight of this year's series of concerts when you stuck to your heart last night and a good clushing to hear Chiquispa. Concluding the program, the orchestra played the recently-written "Second Symphony, Romantic" written by a leading contemporary in American music, Howard Hanson. Introduced by the woolwobber, 'tout composition developed to a peak of volume produced by the orchestra, then utilised to the playing of the strings. Throughout this composition all parts of the orchestra were utilized to give a lyrical and romantic symphony that has been widely used by orchestras in the east and abroad since its writing in 1930. The next concert of the University symphony organization will be the annual Spring concert on April 4. Five Take Solo Roles Five soloists took short incidental solo roles during the concert including the following: Lewis Kidder, grift; Robert Foman, fa4, 42 cornet; Leo Horacek, fa4, 41 cornet; and Bruce Thomas, fa4, 43 and Richard Tippin, fa4, 41 clarinetists. Howard Hanson, composer of the "Second Symphony" played on the program, came to the University two years ago as a guest conductor served as guest conductor of the symphony orchestra and addressed a University convolution during his stay. Women Smokers Lead Men If smoking is any indication of nervousness, women at the University are more neurotic than are the men for. according to a survey conducted by Charles Johnson, c40, cigarettes than do fraternity men. Johnson, a student of psychology, for the last two weeks has been conducting a representative poll on smoking at the University and from 375 students interviewed has determined: That 40 per cent of the students on the campus smoke. That a larger percentage of sorority women smoke cigarettes than of fraternity men. Lucky Strike cigarettes are preferred by 41.8 per cent if the students. Johnson interviewed 130 women students and 245 men. Casting Complete On 'Quality Street' Headlinning the all-student cast will be Mary Newel, c'40, who will play the part of Phoebe Throsel, the character earlier portrayed by Maude Adams during the shows' New York run.

Allen Leads Kansas Paced by Bob Allen, who scored 10 points for high honors of the night, the Jayhawks entered the second period with a scrapping spirit that produced frequent fouls. When the contest got rough, however, the Tigers had the edge for the first time. The free throw line was missing The Kansans made only five of 15 charity chances. Only five Kansans could hit the scoring column, Bruce Veran was particularly plagued by shots rolling off the rim of the basket. Besides Miller, Allen and Engleman, just Vanor with three and Dick Harp with seven, tallied. Don Ehling, scrappy Kansas forward, failed to count, an unusual occurrence for him. Nash of Missouri led his team with eight points. Howard Engleman, junior forward, also contributed to the attempted last half rally of the Jayhawkers, playing the final seven minutes and counting seven points. But the taller Tigers, displaying a smooth offensive that often shook loose the guards for clear shots, maintained their lead despite the pressing Kansas spurs.
