THE IRONY OF IT ALL
Amid harassing days of finals the student is further aggravated by the thought that he is missing some of the best activities of the year.
Nathan Milstein, noted concert violinist, will appear here tomorrow night in one of the outstanding programs of the entire concert course. That night, however, has been set aside for many weeks as the red-letter one for concentrated cramming.
Advanced students in the School of Fine Arts presented a recital last night and will again perform tonight. Meanwhile the student is still studying.
Motion pictures which have been anticipated for months finally get to Lawrence at the most opportune time for the student not to see them.
But most devastating to the good intentions of the student-
who - is - so - far - behind - he -
will-never-catch-up, there will be a full moon all during final week.
FOR A JUST CAUSE
The Joint Committee on Student Affairs has authorized University students to attend President Roosevelt's birthday party to be held at the Eldridge hotel on Jan. 30. In doing so several rules were broken; the party comes on a week night, and it will be open to the entire public.
The rules were broken for a just cause, however. This celebration is a nation-wide affair and the proceeds will go to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, a sanitarium for the cure of infant paralysis. It so happens that the entire proceeds of the party held in Lawrence will be contributed. The President has asked that one dollar for each ticket be turned in, and the charge for the party will be only one dollar. In many cities charges of one dollar and a half and two dollars is being levied to cover the extra expense, but here, payment for the hall and for the orchestra must come from another source.
Its coming in the middle of final week will make it hard for many students to attend, but for those who will be through with exams an evening's entertainment will be welcomed.
THE ZERO HOUR
Already some students are showing the first signs of panic as the days draw near to the time when they will be judged for their scholastic sins.
A few fortunate individuals face the coming ordeal with comparative calm, and whether they are well prepared or not—their cool acceptance of the crisis is an element in their favor. It is not meant by this that a student should abandon all study and adopt a fatalistic attitude. The point is, a frantic and disordered attempt to scoop up a semester's knowledge in one or two nights must likely fail.
Though some undergraduates have the faculty for "ceramming," in many students such methods
result in mental chaos. Moreover, that style of acquiring knowledge has the further disadvantage of being somewhat temporary and soon lost.
If you have fair grades, have kept up in your work, attended class regularly and preserved an interested attitude during the lectures, you have nothing to fear. After all, final examinations when viewed in the proper perspective scarcely rate a "life and death" classification.
Work not worry should characterize the student state of mind during quiz week.
A SEMESTER'S END
The headlines of the Kansan the last few days serve as a kaleidoscope through which the vista of a semester's ending is seen. Some of them which make the pattern objects are:
"Students Express Views of Many Against Horrid Malady of Finals," "Last Mid-Winter Recital to Be Presented Tonight," "Weather Fools Robins Into Believing That It's Spring," "Students Find Numerous Regulations Essential in Unique Art of Cramming," "Jayhawks to Play Game With Iowa State Tomorrow," "Psychological Examination Is Set for Monday," "Basketball May Be Restored," and "Cosmopolitan Club Elects Second Semester Officers."
It is a guess that the sorbermess noted in these patter objects is but a reflection of the somber atmosphere pervading Hill activities just before final examinations.
A young University coed, on her way out of Ad building early one morning saw a handsome young gentleman holding the door open. She hastened her steps, walked through the door as he politely continued to hold it open, and turned her head to thank him for this unexpected gallantry. But just then a big mastiff bounded out behind her and away went the young man and his dog.
THE OUTLOOK NOT SO GLOOMY
The "gloomy" aspect of trying to find a job does not present itself to students who will emerge from colleges and Universities within the next few weeks so acutely as it has their predecessors for the past three or four years.
Since 1929 the task of finding a job after graduation has been a tremendous one. Men with training and experience were in abundance for every position open. Instead of hiring men, organizations were firing those with years of experience. Some were just as efficient as those who remained, but business conditions made it impossible for them to stay. Consequently the college graduate was thrown into this great mass of unemployed and unless he had "strings" 'to pull he found it next to impossible to find a position of any kind.
The same problem presents itself today although not as forcefully. Statistics show that business is on the upgrade and unemployment is decreasing. More money is being spent which means that people are again buying and the wheels of industry have started moving. New jobs are being created and old jobs have taken on a new meaning. The graduate will have to cast his lot with scores who have had more training than he, but with that number rapidly decreasing he at least has a much better chance than here-to-fore.
Twenty Years Ago
(Jan. 19-24, 1914) By George Lerrigo
The faculty members protest that the ango, a dance of the greatest "immorality" is being indulged in by the students, onder different names.
Chaperones are not consistent enough as to the type of dancing that they think decent, students complain. Two chaperones are required at every party, and besides their inconsistency they are reluctant to perform this duty. "A change in the faculty attitude toward students dances is expected this week," says E.A. Murray, chairman of the student interest committee.
Because of the prevalence of students utting chapel to eat their lunch, it is avored by DeWitt C. Croissant, chairman of the chapel committee, to have only one chapel a week on, Friday. Considerable student agitation was prevalent concerning chapel, the program and time it should be held, according to the Kansan.

LEWIS W. BENZ, Secretary.
Adolph: But I tell you, you, you little so-and-so and of an Austrian, that soldier looks anti-Arian to me. Off with his head or I punch you in the nose!
The. The government seems to sense an oncoming crisis when it took the following steps. President Wilson has ordered all university soldiers' pay raised to one dollar for every drill attended. This applied to the private, though the officers got proportionate salary raises. This action will give the President authority to call out the militia for active service at any time.
A Mr. McCreary, who represents large gas and oil interests in Texas and Oklahoma offered a job of $75 a month, practical experience, and a regular increase in salary to any competent geology students, who would care to work as an assistant geologist with his company. He could not find any student interested enough to leave K.U. to take the job.
In addition to this action the government has decided to give the whole unit Company M, new olive drab uniforms These uniforms will all be tailor made and is in concurrence with a general order for all University military units in the United States.
Geneva: (rushing into the room) Why Adolph! You big bully! Stop hitting little Englebert! Look, his nose is bleeding.
Englebert: You leave me alone
Adolph. He isn't anti-Aril, and what if?
*He's a conman.*
Ramsay: I say, I'd just as soon stop this soldier game, only I'd like to prove to you first what my mama always told me, 'Britannia rules the waves'. Benito, hand over that cruiser! You don't need it.
(Aldolph stops and glares at the other children.)
Benitio: (sticking out his chim) Genève, make Ramsay give me back that cruiser! And I want about a dozen more of those bigger ships.
Josephie: Benito you're a pig. You don't need any more ships. Look at all the soldiers you have. You have little Englebert on one side, and you couldn't ask for a more friendly neighbor than I. Besides Adolph is giving me a dirty shirt. So you don't have soldiers. Geneva, couldn't you let us have more soldiers to play with?
Geneva: Oh dear, oh dear! What shall I do? I wanted this to be a nice friendly party, and now look at it?
Franklin: Well now, I'll tell you what you ought to do.
Josephie: (interrupting) There you go,
Franklin. Always telling people what to
do. You can just keep your nose out of
our affairs.
Franklin: But, Joseph, it is my business. Now let's all be friends, calm down, and have a new deal.
Ramsay: Well, Franklin, just what do you propose to do?
Franklin: I'm really inclined to believe with you, Ramsay. Let's scrap the whole game and all be alpals.
Ramsay: Swell! That's a fine idea.
Don't you think so, Adolph?
Adolph: No, it's a silly idea. I want some more soldiers, Geneval!
Geneva: Why what's the matter,
Franklin? I thought everyone had agreed to be friends and would stop playing this dreadful game.
Franklin: I d-idd want to s-stop pl-playing, but there's that h-horrible yellow m-man peering in the w-window. You've got another m-mans more ships—just to s-scare him away?
