How To Study
The reactions of students to the pressure of final week are as varied as a crazy-quilt, and frequently are as illogical. Student behavior during the final examination period ranges from studying around the clock to complete abandon of notes and text books.
Most of us study more than usual during final week, usually in a vain attempt to make up for our laxity of the previous 18 weeks. But there are exceptions.
One electrical engineering student we know was bent over his desk far into the night, throughout final week. Yet he never opened a note book and he barely glanced at his carefully underlined texts. The results of his final week efforts were a home-made transistor radio the size of a cigarette pack, an overhauled high fidelity set, and an honor roll grade point average.
Some male students forego shaving during the final exam period. One is led to assume that they just don't have time for it. We noticed several bearded faces in the line at the ticket window of
a Lawrence movie theatre one evening early in final week.
The library is more crowded during final week, but so, it seems, are the areas in front of the Union's television sets.
Those who study more than usual during final week may be divided into two groups:(1) those who are reviewing, and (2) those who are cramming.
Students who review are those who have absorbed most of the course material, and need only to refresh their memories in preparation for final examinations. Those who cram have failed to study properly during the term, and so must attempt to soak up a semester's learning in a few days.
Those who crammed during last final week should firmly resolve to adopt better study habits for this new semester. Personally, we plan to start working harder—just as soon as the late show is over.

Wide, Wide Screen...
We're about to throw our graduating seniors onto the overburdened bosom of the real world come June, but the rest of us have that same old problem—what to do for the summer?
According to some questionable sources, there's one good answer—TV is better than ever. June through August is the time of the summer replacement shows, and all sorts of interesting experiments are tried in the studios.
For instance, network brains are still working on new improved quiz shows. This form of life, which can be scraped off any TV set on a weekday morning, hits the viewer when his resistance is lowest. This is known as viewer acceptance.
The quiz shows work like this: passersby are lured into the studio with free tickets and door prizes and are taught how to applaud.
A few members of the audience are forced, cursing and screaming, onto the stage, and are then known as contestants. The master of ceremonies (a loud, extroverted chap with an Ivy League suit and porcelain caps on his teeth) loads them down with loot if they can:
1. Identify the sponsor's idea of a famous person from little dots on a pinball board. (Like in the funny papers when you were a kid, remember?)
2. Pick the name of a tune from the first few notes played on a rusty kazoo.
3. Guess how much a prize cost. (The prize may be anything from a jet airliner to a cut-glass spittoon.)
4. Prove they have more troubles than almost anybody.
Lacking all the above, the victim wins money just for appearing on the show. The sponsors
work very closely with the Internal Revenue Department, which saves the contestants from having to carry their winnings home.
Another bright feature on summer TV is the glut of class B movies from the early 20th century, of great historical interest. These are the main course for the true TV fan. The apparent theory used in selecting movies for TV is that the movie must not interfere with the viewer's thought, so he can remember the commercials easier.
Some fans complain that too much time is devoted to the movie between commercials, but the rule for afternoon movies permits no more than ten minutes between commercials, and that should be good enough for anyone.
Then too, the quality of the commercials is outstanding, and they're well worth waiting for. Where else could you hear eight ads in two hours hawking "The Mummy's Psychosis" and "I Was a Teen-Age Hemophiliac?" And where could you hear about medicine's giant strides for curing tired blood, overweight, insomnia, the gray sickness, headaches, runny noses, flat-chestedness, and hangnails?
The list of other improvements scheduled for summer TV is too long to give here, but there's a bright new world waiting for the TV fan this summer, and we know you don't want to miss a moment of it.
The surest way to get in on all the fun, gang, is to write home before vacation and make sure that ol' TV set is in good shape and rarin' to go, so you can get in on all the latest in subliminal perception. See you September, same time, same channel.
