Red Eyes, Weak Legs — It's That Mental Blaaah
By Thomas Turner
My imagination at this point is utterly nil. I seem to be suffering from a common ailment around the big U these days.
The sparkling intellectual minds,
the creative Einsteins, the flowering
Hemingways all share the malady.
It's known as mental bla-aah!
THE VICTIMS of this contagion all look the same-battered, beaten and bushed. The eyes are cloudy, the complexion wane; legs are weak and tempers short.
Look around you, friends. See—there's your roommate about to run into that closed door. And the guy next door is giggling insanely as he bounces up and down on his chair with hysterical, punch-drunk glee.
This is mental bla-a-ah—found only on college campuses, common around this time of year.
BUT DESPAIR NOT, fellows. The epidemic is not exclusive with students. Cases in point:
●The instructor who last week
misplaced an entire set of examinations.
Notice, notice how they lean against the rostrum, their chins cupped in their hands. The wiggly virus bugs do not discriminate.
- The professor who forgot about his class altogether yesterday.
There is only one cure—onward and upward, fellows. Push the nasty crippler down. Give it that old college try. Buck up, buckaroo. Set your teeth and bite into that term paper hard. Take those ominous books. Snap that cover and read for all you've worth.
AND WHEN AT last your pen leaks its last drop of ink on that last final and you feel that the very substance of life has been drained from you, stand proudly, knowing that you have fought the gallant battle and fought it well.
Smile—then collapse. And relax in utter bliss knowing that the next week you can see your grades—bla-a-ah!
The KU Young Republicans elected new officers recently and passed resolutions opposing federal aid to education, the admission of Communist China to the United Nations and resolutions supporting the House Un-American Activities Committee and the Young Americans for Freedom.
The other new officers are: first vice-chairman, Bob Corken, Hiawatha junior; second vice-chairman, Jean Gilmour, Kansas City junior; third vice-chairman, Rex Romeiser, Salina sophomore; treasurer, Bruce Null, Grand Island, Neb., freshman; secretary, Susan Lake, Pratt junior; administrative secretary, Connie Scott, Pittsburg junior and executive member at large, Bill Johnson, Independence law student.
The resolutions were the same ones that were passed at the Mid-West Federation meeting of the Young Republicans.
The new president of the KU Young Republicans, Jerry Dickson, Newton sophomore, said he hoped to hold debates with the Young Democrats next year and arrange for speakers from the state government to stimulate greater interest in the club. He pointed out that interest in political clubs tended to drop in non-election years.

PROF. COLGRAVE said one can see the beautiful Palace Green there. To the other side of the Green is the Castle which is the center of the university.

The Castle gives dignity to the various styles of buildings found on the campus, he said. Each addition to the Castle belongs to a different period ranging from 12th century architecture to that of the 17th century.
Prof. Colgrave said that the earliest part of the Castle was the Norman Chapel. "It has beautiful stone fillers and many other elaborate decorations."
The last Art Lecture will be given next Monday on "New York and the Metropolitan Museum." Bernstenn, instructor of art history, will speak.
ANOTHER BUILDING of particular interest is the Cathedral. The entrance to the building is a beautiful Norman doorway and it contains some of the most wonderful pieces of Norman work in the world, he said. These include Norman fillers, which are beautiful carved columns and some of the earliest pointed arches and flying buttresses found in England. This architecture was typical of the Gothic period but it appeared earlier in Durham.
