Exam-Tired Students Look to Homecoming
By Carol Allen
Homecoming weekend will mean more to most KU students than a lot of alums coming back and a football game.
Tomorrow will be the last day for midsemester examinations.
For seven nights, some students have turned themselves into living coffee pots. And alarm clocks haven't had much chance to ring because few students have taken time out to sleep.
Ashtrays have been emptied a little more often, and more light bulbs have burned out.
In Strong Hall you have to run a little faster to find a study spot that is not taken. In the basement "coffee clubbers" have a book in one hand.
Coeds spend less time before the mirror, and they may not care whether both shoes match. It doesn't matter so much because dates are almost taboo except to the library.
About the only phrase spoken is "I wish I had kept up as we went along" or "why did I take this subject, anyway?"
went along" or "why did I take this subject, anyway? Some students are lucky. They get all of their four or five exams over in one day.
Homecoming decorations have to be up by tomorrow, too. This is a good thing, because students have some things to do on their study breaks.
They can relax tied up nerves and express some of their emotions by splashing paint on some fearless Jayhawk.
And there's still another good thing about midsemester week. It's not like Christmas or Thanksgiving that come just once a year. We get to go through this all over again next semester.
Kansas Constitution to Be Discussed at Forum Friday
The KU Little Symphony, conducted by Dean Thomas Gorton, presented a varied and stimulating program last night in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The Lawrence Community Forum on the Kansas Constitution will be held in the Kansas Union tomorrow.
This is the first in a series to be held in Kansas. The forums are designed to stimulate interest in government and constitutional foundations of the state, and to acquaint citizens with the significance of possible revisions of the Constitution.
State Sen. Don S. Hults and Charles H. Oldfather, professor of Law, are co-chairmen of the Lawrence Committee an the Constitution and in charge of the forum. Cosponsors are the Governmental Research Center and University Extension.
Among speakers at the Lawrence Forum will be Mrs. James Seaver, Lawrence; A.E. Woestemeyer, business manager of Lawrence public schools; Ethan P. Allen, director of the Governmental Research Center;
Opening with Thomas Arne's Overture to the Masque of "Comus," the orchestra proceeded to the evening's major work, Haydn's Symphony No. 101. Nicknamed "The Clock" because of the accompaniment figure played by the bassoons and pizzicato strings in the second movement, the performance of this symphony created a generally good impression, although the orchestra was occasionally lacking in precision and balance.

Following an intermission, interesting contrast to the first half of the program was provided by three contemporary American compositions featuring faculty soloists. The first was Il Campo di Fiori by Kent Kennan with Kenneth Bloomquist soloing. Mr. Bloomquist is a musician of competence and poise, although his stentorian tone was more than adequate for the intimate surroundings.
Artistry and sensitivity were foremost in the playing of Bernard Roger's Soliloquy No.2 for bassoon and

string orchestra with soloist Austin Ledwith. In this composition the bassoon and strings blended into a warm and very personal atmosphere.
As the final soloist of the evening, violist Karel Blaas was featured in Poem for Viola and Chamber Orchestra by Edmund Haines, a KU graduate. Mr. Blaas' tender, lyric tone beautifully suited the demands of the work.
Concluding the program was $ \rho $
rather boisterous and jazzy "Charleston Rhapsody" by Robert Russell Bennett.
Special mention should be made of the fine programming of the Little Symphony concerts. It is truly delightful to be able to hear such variety of compositions and such a large number of lesser-known works which one might otherwise never hear.

Dear Diary
Walk me home, dad, but they must have found this boy under a rock. He talked me into another date last night, but never again. I loathe the way this untidy creature dresses. In my diary he's...
DAVE the DRIP
Looks like poor old Dave might have to go date-less for a while unless he changes his oil-or something.
If we knew his address we'd like to offer Dave our prescription. It never fails. It reads: "Don't buy clothes that make you look like a drip, Dave. Change your DRESS (not your oil) to the kind your 'Diary Girl' likes and PLAY IT SMART." It's just that simple.
Clothes may not MAKE the man—but the RIGHT clothes sure help a lot in GETTING a date. And KEEFING a girl friend. Dress right, man... You can't afford not to!
