Snozzzze City
Class time is rack time
By JOHN HILL
"Excuse me," whispered your roving reporter to the sleeping student next to him in the large lecture hall, "but I'm taking a survey."
The bleary-eyed student slowly raised his head and looked around him. He couldn't figure why he had awakened. The lecture wasn't over yet.
"Uh, I'm taking a survey on why students sleep in class this time of year," I said, in a low voice so I wouldn't wake the students around us, "so please tell me why—"
"YA HEAR THAT, buddy? " he growled.
He was referring to the steady drone of the professor's voice in the distance, which formed a relaxing hum which was very restful.
"And do you know what kind of day it is?" he continued, referring to the beautiful spring day outside, with the sun shining, birds chirping, breezes blowing, B&G men drinking coffee . . .
"YES, I KNOW it's both spring and a lecture course, but—"
The snores of the students interrupted my hypothesis concerning whether or not he had just formulated a cause-and-effect relationship. Rats, I thought
to myself, my survey isn't working.
Then I saw the Sleeping One.
Then I saw the Sleeping One.
"O SLEEPING ONE." I whispered respectfully to the famous, still figure, after I had crawled on my hands and knees along the last row of seats in 426 Lindley to the seat beside the famed specialist, "tell me why you sleep in class."

He very slowly took the night shades off his eyes, took out his ear plugs, re-adjusted his pillow, turned his electric blanket down from "Mother" to "lukewarm," turned up the transistor radio that was plugged, in his ear a little, smiled, and said, "Nice lecture, isn't it?"

attend a sailing class, with the
understanding that if her escort
could not pick her up by 7:45 p.m.,
they were to meet at the class.
"She was one of the finest girls ever to work for me," he said.
Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb., said in a statement, the death of Miss Robeson was further evidence that "time is running out in America's war on crime."
The man, who was not identified, was quoted by her friends as saying he was unable to contact her by telephone, but expected to meet her at the class. When she did not appear, he assumed she had changed her mind and attended a meeting of Young Republicans.
CARLSON WAS CLOSE to tears with his efforts to comfort the family and make arrangements for returning the body to Kansas.
CARLSON'S AIDES said Miss Robeson led an active life—played tennis, was interested in oil painting, and just recently had begun to take up sailing.
At KU Miss Robeson served as a member of the All Student
Council, People-to-People, and as chairman of the Campus Chest before graduating in 1964 with a B.A. degree in political science.
Before coming to KU in 1962 Miss Robeson attended Beloit College, Beloit, Wisc., where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Both her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark D. Robeson of Shawnee Mission, are KU graduates. Her father graduated in 1935; her mother in 1936.
WEATHER
"I'm trying to do an 'in-depth' story on why students sleep in class this time of year," I asked, "would you tell me why they openly sleep in class?"
The U.S. Weather Bureau forecasts fair skies and warm temperatures for tonight and tomorrow. Low tonight 60 to 65. Precipitation probabilities for tonight and tomorrow less than 5 per cent.
"IT'S CLOSE TO FINALS, isn't it? Besides most of them aren't open and honest about it like me. "As an example," he said, pointing to a big, sleeping athletic type, "that guy is using the rolling method. His head starts to doze off to one side, and then he gently straightens it back up so he won't wake himself up," explained the Sleeping One. "He can sit and list like that for hours.
"And that girl in the sunglasses, the coy one that's sound asleep. She thinks she's fooling the prof. Why do you think she wears sunglasses?
"THEER'S LOTS of different methods," he yawned, "but at least I'm honest about it. I've been here for three different classes now. It's so much trouble to get in and out of these hammocks, that I just stay."
He started to doze off, so I tiptoed away and gave up on my soul-searching story, but I noticed that beside his hammock, the Sleeping One had left a note for the milkman.
"And I let the cat out, too," he mumbled in his sleep as the lecture continued . . .
A grant of $85,534 has been awarded to KU by the United States Department of Interior's Office of Saline Water.

Congressman Larry Winn Jr. announced today that the three year grant was made to further the study of the thermo properties of salt solutions.
