Students Mournfully Shake Heads As Balmy Weather Precedes Finals
Thirty-four hundred students are anxiously watching the calendar these days as the time of the zero hour draws near.
With the first of the final examinations scheduled to begin less than two weeks from today, the balance of trade has shifted from the local movie theaters to Watson library. According to the librarians, business has increased almost fifty per cent in the last week.
Many students are bewildered—actually not finally make up his mind to turn loose with some very warm weather, until final examination time approached. Two weeks ago, they say, such atmospheric conditions could have been used to advantage. Picnics, long drives in the moonlight, and swimming parties might

Blueshirts Regain Power
Lincoln, Neb., May 19—In one of the closest election ever held at the University of Nebraska, the oldtime Bluehirt political party regained the power it lost last year to the Barb-Yellow-jackets. The student council, which this year is controlled by the Barb-Yellowjacket coalition, will contain a sizeable majority of Blueshirts next year.
City Will Go Taxless
Hamlet, Neb. — (UP) — Because the town board was捣毁 in its manipulation of village funds, Hamlet will go taxless this year.
nave offered a diverting relaxation for a student body recovering from the long months of winter study, and prepares for work to be expended for final week.
Professors today battled with the wandering thoughts of their students, as they sought to capture something of the willing spirit which made the warm classrooms such a heaven back about March. In many cases, the faculty members found that sticky clothes and perspiring foreheads could not be successfully vanquished. A student who is sweltering in the warm afternoon air is not a very receptive person, they found.
"If the cool weather had continued," said one well-known professor, "I could have passed approximately a dozen more students than I will be able to now. As they say in baseball, the spring slump has set in. Judging from the rapt expressions on the faces of my students this afternoon, my lecture must have carried their thoughts away to more romantic things."
Not among the least of those annoyed by the summer-like weather are the young men who are planning to cut a wide swat at the Military ball tonight. How to enjoy yourself while closely confined within the thick fabric of a uniform, is causing the young soldiers no end of worry. Other male guests are to appear at the party in the formal "tux." The R.O.T.C. members are drawing some sympathy from them, it is said, since they will carry the added handicap of a stiff shirt and bith collar.
Interfraternity Body at Nebraska Would Increase Effectiveness

Lincoln, Neb., May 19.—(Special)—Plans for reorganization of the Interfraternity council were set in motion at the council's regular meeting held in Morrill hall, on Tuesday night, when President Leonard Krause to investigate proposed plans and report on them at the first fall meeting.
General opinion of the council seemed to be that reorganization would work a decided improvement in the effectiveness of the council. Suggested plans were that the president of each house should be the fraternity's delegate, and a junior man be appointed by each group as its alternate, or that one senior and one junior man be selected as delegate and alternate respectively of each house, the junior man to become the senior member the following year. In both cases each fraternity would have but one vote.
A proposal to sponsor a student union building fund was adopted by the
The council discussed rushing plans for next year and a committee on rushing was appointed for next fall's work. A new rule concerning broken pledges and re-pledging was adopted.

Working Students Adopt Constitution for Organization
Officers of the Temporary Group Made Permanent; Plans for Next Year Discussed
Members of the Self-Supporting Student association adopted the revised constitution at a meeting last night in the Memorial Union following the approval of the constitution by the temporary executive committee of that group early last week.
Officers elected by the group of self-supporting students for carrying out plans for the coming year were: president, Wray Chateau, c'35; vice president, Dorothy Johnston, c'35, and secretary, Kalita Kirkendall, c'unc1. It was the will of the group that those persons who had been elected to a temporary position should be drawn up for the constitution, should be made permanent members of the executive committee which is provided for in the constitution.
Of the twelve members of the executive committee, the major officers of her organization constitute three of them. The other nine members are: ohn Arnold, c36; c38; Lila Anderson; c35; Evanghelo Clark, c38; Helen Jodee, c34; James Polklinghorn, c36; Maldo Shaw, c35; Alfred White, c34.
Plans outlined for the present administration of work of the organization outlined by Choate are that students living in Lawrence during the summer should meet with Fred Ellsworth, Mrs. D. R. Bryant, and Henry Werner as soon as final examinations are over, to discuss the "ways and means" of proceeding with the plan of organization for next year.
Part of the problems to be worked out by this group are those of arranging for personal and group meetings with the merchants and other major employers of Lawrence to discuss the best means of investigating working conditions and to find out the best way to improve the working workers and employers and to investigate conditions of work as they are now from the employers' point of view.
Those members spending the summer in Lawrence will also work in canvassing the faculty members, towns people and students during next year.
It was decided that the Self-Supporting Student Association would hold meetings on the last Thursday of every month during the next school year.

Insects Crawling on Face and Neck Are Probably Little 'Canker Worms'
Kansas Publication Hopes to Double Issues Next Year
Professor W. W. Davis gave the principal address at the installation banquet of the Kayhawk Club, held last night in the private dining room of the cafeteria. Officers of the club for next year were installed, and Chevy White, retiring president, reviewed the work of the organization during the past two semester Maurice McManus, e'33 acted as toastmaster.
Worms here. Worms there. Fat ones and skinny ones. Dull ones and shiny ones. They crawl on our sidewalks; they crawl all over our porches and then, tiring of that, they delight in crawling all over us, dragging their silken thread, wearing it everywhere to try to get rid of it. Of all, which demonstrates, that the
The final 1933 edition of the Kansas Engineer, student publication of the University School of Engineering and Architecture, is being circulated on the campus today. The magazine, a member of the Engineering College Magazines Associated, is a quarter-annual resource for students. E43, recently elected president of the Engineering Student council, Professor F. N. Reymond is faculty adviser.
The feature article of this edition is contributed by Carl Kindswater, e35, and is entitled "Where Are We Going?" Kindswater discusses the "new deal" expected in business and speculates upon the possible effect it will have upon the future social and business basis of the engineer.
Plans now in progress for next year's publication would make possible eight editions of the Engineer instead of four.
All of which demonstrates that the tree owners neglected to start fighting
There are two species of canker worms which resemble each other to such an extent that they were long confused, but they differ structurally, being members of different subfamilies. They also differ in habits. The two species agree in being "loops" in the larval state, in possession of ample wings by the adult male and in the adult female being wingless.
The fall canker worm, Alsophila pometaria, is so called because the greater number of moths mature in the autumn and emerge from the ground at this season but a considerable number come out of the ground in the winter during warm weather and in the spring. As the females are wingless they are forced to climb up the trunks of trees in order to lay their eggs in places where the young can easily find their food. They hatch in the spring at the time the
Just as soon as the fall canker worms leave, more grief follows in the shape of the spring canker worm, Palescariella vernata. The adult moths usually emerge from the ground early in spring before the leaves expand; but they sometimes appear after the first frost, during the winter when the ground is thawed. The eggs hatch about the time the leaves expand and reach maturity in from three to four weeks.
And to pester us in between times there is the limetree winter moth, Erwinis tularia. The larva is a "looper" which infests both fruit and forest trees, and in the adult state the male flies on the wings of white wings the female is windless.
The eggs of this species are thrust by the female under loose bark and in crevices on the trunk and large limbs. They hatch in May and the larvae attain their full growth in the latter part of June. The adult moths, themselves, emerge from the ground in October or November.
The two species of canker worms and the lime tree winter moths are sufficiently alike in their habits to warrant combating them with methods.

Coen Is Declared Eligible to Play in Net Tourney
Kansas Is Heavy Favorite to Win Tennis Title; Meet Opens This Afternoon
The Big Six conference tennis meet got under way this afternoon with both the singles and doubles matches being started. Wilbur Coen Jc<sub>4</sub>, captain of the Kansas team, who is managing the meet, announced this morning that an attempt would be made to reach the semi-finals of the singles matches and the finals of the doubles matches of the singles will be played tomorrow at 10 a.m. and the finals in both singles and doubles are scheduled to begin tomorrow at 2 p.m.
Found ranking players have been coed. Coen is seeded No. 1; Davis, Oklahoma, No. 2; Cutlip, Kansas, No. 3; and Thomson, Iowa State, No. 4.
Coen received word this morning from the Big Six Athletic board that he had been granted reinstatement and was eligible for competition. He was declared ineligible a month ago as he played in a tournament in other than collegiate competition without first obtaining the permission of the board.
A system of scoring has been devised by which one point is given for each victory in first round matches. Teams that advance past the second round will not get credit for first round victories however. Because of the small amount of entries in the singles it has been made impossible for members from the same school to meet against one another until the finals. Each entrant is on the opposite side of the draw from his teammate.
