Nostrils, Take Note
Flora Adorns Campus
By Sara Pfeiffer
The bleak, gray days of winter have gone, and once again spring has mantled the campus with a panorama of rainbow colors.
From one end of Jayhawk Drive to the other, flowering trees and shrubs of almost every shape, size, and color can be seen.
Many of these plants have exotic names such as Japanese quince or fragrant sumac to match their lovely colors.
Probably best-known are the pinkish-lavender redbud trees that dot the campus in gay profusion. Flowering crabapple trees, given the University by the class of 1945, add pink and white spots of color here and there.
Not to be outdone, many shrubs have blossomed forth in a wide variety of hues. "Syringa," better known as iliac, not only brightens the campus with shades of lavender, but adds a delightful fragrance as well.
Recently seen, but now gone, were the bright red tulips in front of Hoch Auditorium and the white magnolias near Lindley Hall.
Other flowers adorning the campus are forsythia, jetbead, buffalo berry, and spiraea.

Remember This For Final Week
Students of logic, take note.
Four years ago at Kansas State University, the two-hour final examination in a logic class consisted of one short question:
"Why?"
One of the students thought about it and watched the others writing ponderous answers. After about 10 minutes he gave up and wrote, "Because," on his paper, handed it in, and left.
He got an A on his final.
