Has Anyone Seen The Sun Lately?
Are you depressed? Grouchy?
Don't want to study or go to class? Then you have the weather woes. This illness seems to be quite common lately, since Old Sol disappeared behind the fog and drizzle.
One sleepy - eyed, depressed coed peered out at the fog this morning and remarked to a friend, "I can't decide whether to take a shower and wake up, or just give it all up and go back to bed."
third place by Tretbar.
In the black and white division, first place was won by Tretbar, for "Evening in Venice"; second place also by Tretbar, and third place by John Lang, Arkansas City, junior.
Any normal student wouldn't stop to think about it, but just go to bed. At any rate, don't give up hope of seeing the sun again. Just remember that spring isn't too far away.
Judges for the contest were Jimmy Bedford, instructor in journalism; Bill Snead, photographer for the Lawrence Daily Journal World, and Harry Wright of the Photographic Bureau.
Mrs. E. L. Novotny, hostess in the Student Union, fainted about 9:15 this morning at work. She was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Attendents reported her condition is fair.

A foggy day at KU...
Jazz Concerts To Begin Sunday
Whether jazz popularity is on the upgrade or the downgrade is a subject of some controversy, but at KU jazz is beginning to get a foot-hold.
A basic group of jazz enthusiasts called the Rhythm Heirs have gotten together with other music lovers to play a series of jazz concerts. The concerts, called Jazz Off Campus, are to be held twice a month at the Lawrence Community Building.
Selection Of 3 Deans Near
Screening for selection of deans for the Schools of Law, Business, and Engineering is nearly finished. A final list of four or five names will be presented to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy in about a month, said George S. Smith', dean of the University.
The screening committee, headed by Dean Smith, has compiled a list of over 100 nominees for the three positions since Jan. 1.
"We hope to have all the basic screening finished and interview all the nominees soon, but we are not going to hurry the process because it is an extremely important matter." Dean Smith said.
Dr. Murphy will make his final choice from the list.
A penalty of $2 per day for late payment of fees goes into effect Friday, Feb. 22. The enrollment of any student whose fees are not paid by Monday, Feb. 18, will be canceled.
"Since the Board of Regents has to approve the final choice, we are hoping to submit it to the Board at their February meeting or at the latest, the March meeting," Dean Smith said.
The schedule for fee payment is:
Monday: last names beginning with
A through F; Tuesday: G through
L; Wednesday: M through R;
Thursday: S through Z.
Students are to pay tuitions and fees Monday through Thursday, Feb. 18-21, at the business office in Strong Hall. Identification cards issued at the beginning of the fall semester should be brought to the business office at that time for validation for the spring semester.
A student whose enrollment has been canceled for non-payment of fees will be re-enrolled only upon payment of penalties of $5 for late enrollment and $6 for late payment of fees, in addition to the full amount of his fees.
Dig Deep— Fees Due Again
St. Louis Editor Lectures Monday
Irving Dillard, editorial page editor of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, will speak at 3 p. m. Monday in Fraser Theater.
Alumni Elections To Be Studied
The present method of electing officers is to select two sets of candidates for each office. The president and vice president are elected for 1-year terms and two directors are chosen every year for 5-year terms.
A committee to study the possibility of changing the method of electing University alumni officers will meet at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in the alumni office.
"The purpose of the concerts is to stimulate jazz at KU and to give the students a chance to hear local talent perform," said Nathan Davis, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, one of the performers.
The first concert will be from 3 to 5 p. m. Sunday.
Jazz Concert Series
The Rhythm Heirs include Davis, John C. Spears, Ottawa senior; Elaine Brown, Kansas City, Kan freshman, and Dannie Gomez, Hutchinson junior. Bonnie Dinsmore, Oklahoma City, Okla. junior; John Rhodus, Kansas City, Kan sophomore and Ernie Douglas, Topeka band leader, will also perform.
If there is enough demand for jazz,the group plans to perform weekly.
For every concert, guest artists from different bands and combos on the campus and other guest artists will perform.
Canadian Ballet Due Feb. 15
Tschaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" ballet and Delibes "Coppelia" will be featured by the National Ballet of Canada at 8:20 p.m. Feb.15 in Hoch Auditorium.
This production is in the KU concert series and students can attend on their ID cards.
There will be 62 dancers and a 20-piece orchestra under the direction of George Crum.
The company was begun in 1951 by Celia Franca who was a star of Sadler's Wells Ballet for four years.
Since the company's founding as a pioneer movement in Canada, it has grown so that now it takes five railroad cars to transport the troupe. The national Ballet spends four months of its seven month tour season in Canada.
Quartet Here Monday
The Smetana Quartet will feature Bohemian music at their concert at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong Auditorium.
Members of the quartet are Jiri Novak and Lubomir Kostecky, violins; Milan Skampa, viola, and Antonin Kohout, cello.
The program will include the Schubert "Quartet in E flat major," Janacek's "Second Quartet." "Secret Letters," and Smetana's Quartet in E minor.
In Bohemia, chamber music has grown out of a deep seated musical tradition which reaches back into the pre-Mozart period. During this time, Bohemia was called "The conservatory of Europe."
Members of the quartet first met as a group of students in the Prague Conservatory. During World War II, they worked under Prof. J. Micha. While still students, two members of the group supported the other two so they could study together.
In 1945 the group made its first public appearance, and in 1951 the Czecholovakian government affiliated them as a chamber ensemble to the Czechoslovakia Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1954 they were awarded the honorary title of Laureate of the State Prize.
