String Group Plans Concert
The Chamber Music Series will present the Netherlands String Quartet in Swarthout Recital Hall at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Nap de Klijn and Jaap Schroder, violinists, Paul Godwin, violist, and Carel Boomkamp, cellist, made their first Amsterdam appearance in the Concertgebouw in 1952. The success of these distinguished musicians was so great that they were engaged immediately for the Holland Festival that year. They toured Europe in 1958.
North American audiences first heard the Netherlands String Quartet in 1958 when the group played 25 concerts in the United States and Canada. During the 1959-60 season, they returned to the U.S. for a nine-week, 45-concert tour. They visited major American cities from coast to
coast. In recognition of its achievement, the Quartet was awarded the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Memorial Medal in 1962, and immediately was dubbed "the finest string quartet in Europe."
IN 1886—FOOTBALL?
From the Washburn University school paper of 1886 comes this bit: "Athletics at KU seem to be in rather a comatose condition. The football club at that school, after challenging us to a game on the 12th, declined to play on account of lack of practice. If the University would take the interest in athletics that it evidences in social amusements, it might become a factor in the sports of the Kansas colleges."
Tickets are available at Murphy Hall Box Office and Bell Music Company.

On Campus with Max Shulman (By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!", "Dobie Gillis," etc.)
TWELVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING
Today I begin my twelfth year of writing this column in your campus newspaper.
These dozen years have passed like a dozen minutes. In fact, I would not believe so much time has gone by except that I have my wife nearby as a handy reference. When I started this column, she was a mere slip of a girl—supple as a willow bough and fair as the morn. Today she is gnared, lumpy, and given to biting the postman. Still, I count myself lucky. Most of my friends who were married at the same time have wives who chase cars all day. I myself have never had this trouble, and I attribute my good fortune to the fact that I have never struck my wife with my hand. I have always used a folded newspaper, even during the prolonged newspaper strike of 1961 in New York. During this journalless period I had the airmail edition of the Manchester Guardian flown in daily from England. I must admit, however, that it was not entirely satisfactory. The airmail edition of the Guardian is printed on paper so light and flimsy that it makes very little impression when one smacks one's wife. Mine, in fact, thought it was some kind of game and tore several pairs of my trousers.
But I digress. For twelve years, I say, I have been writing this column. That is a fact, and here is another: I shave every morning with Personna Stainless Steel Blades. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna and they are inclined to brood if I omit to mention their products.
Not, let me hasten to state, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna—as you will agree once you try this sharpest, smoothest-shaving, longest-lasting blade ever devised by the makers of Personna Blades—now available both in Double Edge and Injector style. Personna, always the most rewarding of blades, today offers even an extra reward—a chance to grab yourself a fistful of $100 bills from a $100,000 bowl! The Personna Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running, and you're all eligible to enter. Visit your friendly Personna dealer soon to pick up an entry blank (void where prohibited by law).
But I digress. For twelve years, I say, this column has been discussing, forthrightly and fearlessly, such burning campus questions as "Should students be allowed to attend first-hour classes in pajamas?" and "Should deans be retired at age 25?" and "Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom"?
And, by the way, while you're at your friendly Personna dealers, why don't you ask for a can of Burma Shave? It comes in Regular or Menthol; it soaks rings around any other lather, and it's made by the makers of Personna.
Today, continuing the tradition, we take up the thorniest academic problem of all: the high cost of tuition. Let me tell you how one student, Lintel Sigafoos by name, solved this problem.
Lintel, while still a boy in Straitened Circumstances, Idaho, had his heart set on college, but, alas, he couldn't afford the tuition. He applied for a Regents Scholarship but, alas, his reading speed was not very rapid—only two words an hour—and before he finished even the first page of his exam, the Regents had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Lintel then applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single athletic skill—balancing an ice cream cone on his chin—and this, alas, aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches.
And then he found the answer: he would get a student loan! Of course, he would have to pay it back after graduation, but clever Lintel solved that, too; he kept changing his major, never accumulating enough credits to graduate until he was 65 years old. Then he repaid the loan out of his Social Security.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
