Final Week Again
Campus
By Robert Henry
The casual observer, if there is any around, might think after 15 weeks of preparation, final examination week at KU would be a breeze for the student body and the teaching staff--but it just isn't so.
Final examination week for most is a period of tension, trauma, and soul-searching. The soul-searching enters when the student reflects over what is to come next week, and why he didn't prepare

himself better for finals throughout the long semester grind. But the reflection over what is past is secondary as the average student ponders next week.
His thoughts seem to be two-fold—apprehension, yet eagerness to complete the troublesome week as quickly as possible.
Final week causes change in almost everything and everyone on the campus. Social events and extra-curricular activities are curtailed, student study sessions lengthen, and professors and instructors spend long hours constructing and grading examinations.
Atmosphere Changes
Library Hours Same
No extra midnight oil will be burned during final week—at least not at Watson Library.
John L. Glinka, acting associate director of the library, said the library will operate on the regular schedule.
OFF-CAMPUS, local businessmen will find their normal trade is changed, thus their lives, too, are changed by the week of concentrated academic exercises on the hill.
"I don't worry about final tests; you retain more if you are relaxed." Jim Hoch, Lawrence sophomore. explained.
But the biggest change of all is in the students as they prepare for and take the climactic final examinations.
"I REVIEW, rather than study intensively, using my class notes and, in general, disregarding my text books." Hoch said. Hoch said he thought intensive study was not necessary, justifying his view by saying, "If you don't know the subject pretty well by now, you're not going to learn it in a week."
Though most students express concern over finals, some react to them as just another examination.
"A review of the semester's work is also important in preparing you for your next semester's work." Hoch said.
"I think that by the semester's end," Hoch added, "the instructor knows what you can do and thus more importance should be placed on your work during the semester than many professors place upon it."
Regarding the policy of some instructors not holding classes during the last week of scheduled

UPI Executive To Get Citation
Earl J. Johnson, KU alumnus and vice president and editor of United Press International (UPI), will deliver the 16th annual William Allen White Lecture Feb. 10.
Johnson will also receive the William Allen White Foundation's eighth annual national citation for journalistic merit.
In making the announcement today, Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, said Johnson's lecture will be on "The Realities of World News Editing."
The lecture at 2:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union will highlight William Allen White Day, celebrated annually on the birthday anniversary of the famous Emporia Gazette editor who died in 1944.
THE FOUNDATION will also honor a Kansas editor, to be named Feb. 10, with the 12th annual Kansas citation for journalistic merit. Johnson, 64, a 1922 KU alumnus, was with United Press (UP) from 1922 to 1958, and has been with UPI since the merger of UP and International News Service in 1958.
In 1923 he started a 12-year term as UP bureau manager, working in Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, New York City and London.
Starting in 1922 as a Chicago UP reporter, Johnson quickly distinguished himself. His news "scoop" in 1922 on the appointment of Judge Kenesaw Landis as the first commissioner of baseball brought him to the attention of his superiors.
He was named vice president and editor for UP in 1935. Four years later he went to Europe to arrange coverage of Hitler's skirmishes, which developed into World War II. During the war he directed UP's world staff from his desk in New York.
JOHNSON BEGAN his newspaper career in his hometown of Winfield, serving as a reporter and city editor on the Winfield Daily Courier in 1916 and 1917. He moved to the Winfield Free Press to serve as city editor during summer vacations from college.
He enrolled in Southwestern College at Winfield in 1918 and in 1919 he transferred to KU.
While at KU he was a correspondent for UP and newspapers in Kansas City, Mo., and a local reporter

on the old Lawrence Gazette and later on the Journal-World.
The William Allen White Foundation's citation will be the second award received by Johnson at KU. In 1952 the KU Alumni Association awarded him the KU Distinguished Service Citation.
The foundation finances visits to campus by leading journalists for participation in classes and professional meetings and it sponsors the Historical Center and the Reading Room in Flint Hall.
Activities on Feb. 10 will start at 10 am, with the Foundation's annual board of trustees meeting in Flint Hall.
A luncheon will be held at 1 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union, at which time the Kansas editor's citation will be read. A reception is scheduled to precede the luncheon. The trustees of the Foundation, Kansas editors, KU administrators and faculty, and the heads of student organizations will attend the luncheon.
Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi fraternities will sponsor a dinner at 6 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Union. Johnson will attend and participate in a question and answer session following dinner.
Team, Not Students, to Be Viewed Saturday

All the Big Eight schools will have the opportunity to see the Jayhawks Saturday afternoon as KU hosts Iowa State in a game televised from Allen Field House.
The first KU basketball game to be televised from the field house in six years will begin at 1:30. The telecast will cover a six-state area over a regional network, originating from WIBWTV-
Two television cameras will catch the court action from the west side to the east. Previous plans were to shoot the game toward the student section but technical difficulties necessitated a change.
ANOTHER CAMERA will be used to cover the team benches, the sports table and the student section, according to Monte Johnson, assistant director of athletics.
"With the split coverage of the court and the audience," Johnson said, "there will be a better
job of covering the entire field-house."
W. Clarke Wescoe, chancellor will appear on TV for the half-time ceremony, according to James Gunn, administrative assistant to the chancellor.
Monte Moore, announcer for the game, will interview the chancellor about the competitive position of the University. A two-minute movie clip, consisting of campus shots, will be shown in connection with the interview to show the beauty of the campus, Gunn said.
Weather
THE AUDIENCE at the field-

house will not see the chancellor's interview because the public address system cannot be used during the broadcast. Johnson said. Band music will be provided as the entertainment in the fieldhouse.
Publicity for the televised group has been handled through the ASC public relations committee, headed by Sandra Fike, St. Louis, Mo., junior. Approximately 7,000 fliers were printed up and distributed among residence halls and organized living groups. One of the slogans encouraging attendance on the leaflet says "Up your own status with a live television performance!"
Posters have also been made which will be placed in all the buildings on campus, Russ Cummings, Topeka graduate student and member of the ASC publicity committee, said.
CUMMINGS, president of Templin hall, said the group of Templin residents which usually
cheer at the game, will change their white shirts to blue for the telecast.
Special parking arrangements have been made for the students attending the game. According to Wade Stinson, director of athletics, Zone O will be open for student parking, free of charge.
"We've had as many as 150 guys at the games before but for this game we expect as many as 200." Cummings said. "We're changing the colors of our shirts and getting ready to go," he said.
THE UNIVERSITY TRAFFIC and Security office and the Athletic Department made this joint move to provide easier parking in view of finals and the time involved. Stinson explained.
Semester's Last UDK
The Lawrence Bus Co. is also

joining the efforts of the University to promote the game by providing bus service from the dormitrys to the field house. Four buses will go from G.S.P. across campus to the field house, making stops along the way. This service will include trips at 12:50, 1:00, and 1:20. There will be one bus running from Carruth-O'-Leary at 1:00 and one bus from Daisy Hill at 1:20.
Encouraging the students to attend the game, Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president, said the game provides a good opportunity for students to take a little relaxation before finals.
"I THINK IT IS A GOOD opportunity to show our support for our team that's done a good job so far this year," Stewart said. "It's also an opportunity to show a regular television audience the great enthusiasm and spirit that the student body has shown for the athletic events this year," he said.
