Slips Show Shaky Scholarship

Many KU students are learning just what Thomas Paine meant when he said, "These are the times that try men's souls."
For these are the times that students greet with mixed feelings
Poetry Hour Features Work Of Hopkins
Selected works of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the 19th Century English poet, will be read during the SUA Poetry Hour at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Music Room of the Union
Edwin Eigner, assistant professor of English at KU, will read the poetry.
HOPKINS DIED in 1889 at the age of 45 and was also a painter, priest, and teacher. He graduated from Balliol College, Oxford and in 1874 was ordained as a priest in the Roman Catholic faith, later serving several churches in England.
Most of his poetry was published posthumously.
His poetry can be distinguished by several technical devices, the most important of which is called "sprung rhythm." This device is the using of stress rather than syllable count to determine the line. Hopkins is also noted for his skillful use of alliteration and assonance.
No admission will be charged and free coffee will be served.
Talk Features Anthropology
Emil W. Haury, professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona, will speak on "The Hohokam; Pre-Columbian Southwest Farmers" at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Dyce Auditorium.
Illustrations will accompany the lecture on the recent archaeological excavations which he directed at Snaketown in southern Arizona.
Snaketown, one of the major archaeological sites in North America, is the basis for a series of Hohokam cultural developments for more than 1.000 years.

of curiosity, impatience, and just plain fright. It is the "downd season" . . . that time of year when six-weeks grades are in, and little green cards are found buried in student folders.
FOR FRESHMEN especially, this time is one of dread and peril. It is almost impossible to ask a freshman his feelings on the subject because he is too busy fingering his favorite good luck charm and knocking on wood to answer.
According to one freshman counselor, however, the freshman attitude is better than ever. "They don't seem to be really upset. It seems to be a more mature attitude this time," Kathleen Thompson, Iola junior and counselor at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, said.
FRESHMAN COUNSELORS at Grace Sellars Pearson, Corbin and Lewis Halls advise their freshmen that "the key is to talk to teachers and see if you can find out the particulars of what's wrong," according to Miss Thompson.
In smaller living groups, the same attitude is prevalent. Jewelda Devore, Belleville senior and president of Sellards Scholarship Hall, said. "We talk to the girls individually and if they need help their roommates or other upperclassmen will study with them at the library or someplace."
Thomas Edgar, Bartlesville, Okla, junior and scholarship chairman of Beta Theta Pi, said that actives "encourage pledges to go to the actives, especially to their pledge fathers with any problems."
DOWN SLIPS will be sent out next Monday, said George Wagoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. They are given to advisers, and in the case of freshmen and sophomores, are mailed to the students' parents.

The parents of juniors and seniors do not receive down slips because "last year we (the College) abandoned the practice of sending them to juniors and seniors on the theory that they've been around a while and know what to do," said Robert Cobb, assistant dean of the College.

With this one exception GT&E provides total communications
Small boys have an edge on us when it comes to communicating with non-humans. General Telephone & Electronics makes only this one concession to outside experts.
In all other areas of communication we have an edge. Telephoning, teleprinting, telemetering, teledata, telewriting. And, of course, radio, TV, stereo and milli-
tary electronics.
Our 30 Telephone Operating Companies serve areas in 33 states. Most of the equipment is manufactured by Automatic Electric, Lenkurt Electric and Sylvania, all members of GT&E's family of companies.
With so much revolving around GT&E, it is small wonder that we have become one of America's foremost corporations.
We're interested in having you know still more about our activities in total communications. So we've prepared a booklet on GT&E that you can obtain from your Campus Director, or by writing General Telephone & Electronics, 730 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017.
