TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1933 Are you worried about finals? If you are, you are probably one of those students who will make decent grades in them, according to a professor on the Hill. If you are not worried, you have a good chance to make either a poor grade or an absolute flunk. The reasoning behind this theory is very simple. If you are not worried, it is probably because you know so little about the subject that you do not really understand how much ground you are supposed to have covered and how detailed and long the questions in the examination will be. Not knowing how much information you are supposed to have you will not worry about the little that you have acquired and consequently will make but little effort to cram any more. On the other hand, if you are worried about your final in a course, you probably have a fair idea of the scope and content. You probably know how much you should have learned and will make some effort to cram a little more in before the tragic moment. Worry is a good mental stimulus for learning just a little more. And that more is enough to put you through and well on the safe side. DISSOLUTION Of all times of the year to have Indian Summer, the few weeks before finals are the worse. There should be some arrangement made for 'deep snows and zero weather.' Or perhaps logchains and padlocks would do the trick Many honorary organizations, particularly some of the literary societies, have nearly ceased to be on this campus because of lack of enthusiasm in the members. Most of the groups bestried themselves enough to publish notices of requirements and try-out deadlines, then let the subject drop entirely. Faculty advisers have considered the try-outs submitted and now they rest safely put away in their desks. No student members have taken the trouble to look them over. Consequently those anxious to become members have never found out whether they have been accepted or not. Other organizations have selected the new members, then never bothered to initiate them or hold any further meetings. It is somewhat surprising that the honorary societies should not be more virile and active. The financial obligations are very small and the meetings seldom require more than an hour or two a month. Perhaps it would be better if they were done away with entirely than to die such slow and ignominious deaths. Since nobody seems to be interested, why confer the honor of membership, frequently national and powerful, on neophytes who cannot keep their standards alive? Watson Library officials report an alarming increase in activity during the past week. "The men don't even look up when a pretty girl comes in the room," one attendant said. CAMPAIGN CAMOUFLAGE During the presidential campaign last summer and fail newspapers, and especially Republican newspapers, carried stories telling of the perfect physical condition of President Hoover. Some papers even had pictures showing the smiling President and said that the campaign was having an invigorating effect on him. No what the election has set matters and the country will soon have a new president press reports say that the retiring chief executive is physically and mentally tired and that he will go away for a long rest immediately after March 4. They even say that the rigors of the government depleted the reserve strength of the President considerably. Of course, the reports given on now are doubtless more reliable than those released in the heat of the campaign. The president was proclaimed physically fit previous to the election because campaign tactics required it, even though it was not altogether true. But nothing can be done about it. It's politics. All night long the wind whistled. Around and around it whirled and howled. Dawn—dark, damp, drab. An instant streak of sunlight. Then clouds—colder - colder - chill. The heart is chill. Icy clutching fingers of fear, grasping, twisting, cruel fingers—Finals. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE A period of illness for a girl is just so much time taken away from the best boy friend, so many cokes gone to waste, and so many dances missed. A woman comes into the hospital with the idea that she is there because she has to be, not because she thinks she needs to be. She may look ill, but she applies a fresh coating of color to cheeks and face and attains a healthy glow before she departs into the doctor's office. No matter what the illness, it isn't bad enough to warrant her staying in the hospital. She accepts the pills and goes on her way, lamenting all the while that she isn't sick, she just doesn't feel good. But when a boy enters the hospital with his friend, they can be heard talking long before they reach the waiting hall. Their laughter and jokes continue to sound above the other conversation while the invalid awaits his turn. If appearance is an indication of feeling, this young gentleman is suffering from an overdose of vim and vitality. When his name is called, he hastily changes expression and drags himself into the office, coughing vigorously. The list of ailments and symptoms he claims is appalling and the poor doctor is properly impressed. The physical wreck reappears in the hall and exultantly confides to his friend: "I'm so sick, I gotta stay here. That sure makes me cry. Hope you pass the quiz in the morning. Give my love to the prof. And say--maybe you'd better bring me a copy of Ballyhoo." Technocracy, to date, is nothing more or less than an engineer's pipe dream of becoming a leading economist. The recent all-University church party put on by the young people's organizations of eight of the Lawrence churches and the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., which was an attempt to bring the members of these various organizations together in a social way, was the first of its kind in the history of the University. A NEW UNDERSTANDING Representatives of the different churches felt that there was a need for co-operation on the part of the members of the many groups in events other than the all-University vespers sponsored by the Council of Religious workers. To fulfill this need get-acquainted games, stunts, and very interesting program was planned.

This fall it was jacks or perhaps contract for the more serious minded college student; later came bridge tournaments at the Memorial Union or sol; even fortune telling cards held away for a period. But the one entertainment which seems to have outshine any other is the jig saw puzzle. THE JIG-SAW CRAZE At almost any rooming house on the campus or in Lawrence students are putting together the middle pieces of these rooms. "C.H.OH" ply fascinating" they will tell you and if you follow their advice and play the game for a short time the chances are that you, too, will become another of the jig-saw fans. The most pathetic college figure of the day is the student who has lost his notebook with his semester's knowledge in it. For years students have played bridge and attended shows during that distressing period of finals. This year promises to be taken up with a new fangled toy. Its the jigsaw craze! know how much he can "hold," or will he get tips and tootter through the Blue Room and the Red Room and the Green Room of the White House? Who knows, and if they don't know, why don't they? And so it goes! But where does it go? Will all this talk get anybody anywhere? Will a few flourishing orators so work on the public sentiment that they will be unable to resist the onslaught? Or will the voting public be immune to this mob psychology? tures only two speakers had ability in that line. One political writer's place who spoke is tapping a typewriter; another commentator limited himself to what had appeared too often in newspapers; last night we heard a correspondent who had only a large chest and high voice to his credit. Campus Opinion No one would have the best lawyer operate on him. Why have a writer lect- ure when we can read their books? After listening to professors lecture about law, the student should be entitled to hear more than prode- speakers — A.J.C. Editor Daily Karsan: Life Preserver Almost Kills The pioneer educators from New England, who founded the Old North College, from which beginning came the present University of Kansas, were not thinking of athletes when they gave their time and money to further the great cause of education. Their sole aim was to furnish the means by which the knowledge of the world could be obtained. Of the people of Kansas and surrounding states. But now, after sixty or more years, the price of admission to athletic contests is to be added to the regular fees, thus putting education and athletics on an even basis, whereas education and athletics are not institution and athletics only secondary. If the athletic corporation is making both ends meet, with possibly some profit, they why burden the poor or serious student by compelling him to pay for something which he cannot afford, because it is expensive. On the other hand if the corporation cannot make both ends meet by attracting enough paid admissions to the contests, they would be making a very unethical and unjust move in compulsory sports. They tended the games or not, or whether they wanted to pay or not. Let它 go the way of other corporations who do not hold the goodwill of the people NEW CLASS Harwichport, Mass. —(UF)—A life preserver nearly sent Lorenzo Dane, 30, his life.
