THE UNIVERSITY DAILY kansan Serving KU For 77 of its 101 Years
Time flew Sunday morning, and for some, the confusion still hasn't stopped!
Changing to Daylight Savings Time, at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning, was difficult, even embarrassing, to some KU students.
A few students have decided to boycott the time change. Cal Berggren, Topeka senior, came to the conclusion that all the fuss wasn't necessary. He refuses to set his clock ahead, much to the confusion of his roommate, John Kohl. Kansas City sophomore, who likes the extra time.
questioning passers-by, she realized it was 1:00 p.m. instead of 11:00 a.m.

For some, lunch was ruined by the new time. Ross Hale, Wichita graduate student, was expected at his parent's for lunch. Immediately after eating breakfast at 10:00 am., standard time, he found
Emily Buffon, Topeka senior, has different ideas about the change-over. She has decided to petition for an extra hour of night. Miss Buffon said, "Summer nights are the best time of the year! If there's going to be extra daylight, we ought to get extra night too."
ON CAMPUS, cafeteria food lines expected some late arrivals, but few occurred. Flags flying at Fraser Hall are now being lowered at 12:30 p.m., instead of last weeks time of 11:30. Even the Building and Grounds Department had trouble adjusting when someone forgot to advance the workers' check-in clock.
Being late seemed to be the order of the day. Kathy Brown, Topeka sophomore, had been invited to a shower. She arrived—when the shower ended. Miss Brown, like several others, had set her clock back an hour instead of ahead.
ANOTHER COED, Jackie Kemp, Kansas City senior, found it hard to get used to the time change. Upon arriving for a luncheon date set for noon, she discovered it was 2:00 p.m.
John Rising, Kansas City, Mo.. senior, agrees. "it's hard to adjust to that extra hour. I like the night."

CC Director Jerry Lewis feels differently, however.

CC called 'not popular'
Centennial College students have charged that Centennial College (CC) "is not a popular project at all" among CC students.
The comments appeared in two editorials, pro and con, concerning the CC and printed in "Ellsword," Ellsworth Hall's resident newsletter. Both editorials agreed on the unpopularity of CC among participants.
"THE REPORTS we've received do not indicate widespread hostility among Centennial College students; however, I wouldn't attempt to deny that some have had dismal experiences; but that's

probably something they'd go through anyway." Lewis says.
The con editorial said "the most disgusting thing about CC is the fact that it will not be allowed to fail. The fact that the University is already planning for all students to be placed in programs similar to CC, even before it has been evaluated, is proof of this."
"We did not set up CC as an experiment," Lewis says, however.
IN REPLY to the con editorial's charge that "CC students were specially selected so that they wouldn't drop out of school." Lewis said this is "absolutely not true" and that the selection was made at random by running student numbers through a computer.
"Our original decision was to create five such colleges but use only Centennial College the first year as a pilot project. The decision to create all such programs was made at the same time," Lewis said.
pulsive reaction in almost all people, but Centennial College . . has been a success."
"Id be surprised if CC didn't stimulate some negative feelings." Lewis said. "Many CC students have difficulty evaluating this experience because they have nothing to compare it with, this being their first year in college.
"SOME STUDENTS have questioned CC students having all their classes together as restricting their social contacts at KU." Lewis said, "but most CC classes, especially the large ones, aren't entirely composed of CC students."
The con editorial also charged that CC has "harmed the grades of many people," and said the average grade point for CC men first semester was 138, whereas the average grade point for all freshmen men was 124.
"The University's figures show that last semester's grade average for all freshman men was 1.12 and that men in CC did slightly better," Lewis said.

Independents romp in antics
Rope-pulling, egg-throwing, pie-eating members of KU residence and scholarship halls ended the week-long Spring Fling activities Saturday.
A tug-of-war between floor residents opened the Saturday games as Sellards and Templin No. 3 pulled themselves to victory against Lewis No.4 and McCollum No.10.
The next event was a marathon race—improvised upon by forcing contestants to carry a cardboard barrel while they alternately ran back-to-back, crawled "wheelbarrow" fashion, and hobbled in gunnysacks.
While nearly 400 spectators watched, Sellards and Templin No.3 elbowed their way to first place.

Bu RICH LOVETT
After sitting four hours in Hoch Auditorium during the Spring Concert Saturday night, an audience of over 3,000 still felt enough enthusiasm to call back the final act for an encore.
Enthusiasm marked the entire concert, both on the part of the listeners and the performers. Laughs, smiles, and bursts of applause were rampant in the old building until almost midnight.
Opening the concert were The
Winds, rains flay flags atop Fraser
Shreds of Fraser's flags are scattered over the campus today after high winds yesterday.
A buildings and grounds man told the Kansan he understands "Old Glory" and "KU" will be displayed on KU's newest building during rain, snow, sleet, rain or tornado alert.
However, R. Keith Lawton, vice chancellor of operations, said he believed the flags are not displayed during inclement weather. He said this was the policy with old Fraser and to his knowledge this is it with new Fraser.
Buildings and grounds men raise the flags at sunrise and lower them at 11 p.m. Flood lights which illuminate the flags are turned off automatically at 11:30 p.m.
The buildings and grounds man on duty in Fraser said this is the second time the flags have been replaced since they were first displayed on the building six weeks ago.
He said each flag is valued at about $100.
Sandpipers, three young male singers. Their one and a half hour appearance began with "There's a Meetin' Here Tonight," "What Now My Love," and "My Julie," a tongue-in-cheek ditty about a girl who got run over by a power lawnmower.
THE SANDPIPERS, whose rendition of "Guantanamara" sold over a million copies, said backstage they have been trained to sing in '11 foreign languages. They gave a sample on stage by singing "Louis Louie" in Spanish. "Guantanamara" also is written in Spanish.
The Four Freshmen followed the presentation of Greek Week and Spring Fling trophies. The quartet said they would "drink a little mash, sing a little trash."
The four switched musical instruments so often they were sometimes forced to hold one while playing another.
Bob Flanigan, 6-foot 3-inch tenor, played trombone and an electric bass fiddle. Ross Barbour, who plays drums and trumpet, delighted the audience with "Once in Love With Amy," sung as a novelty number in a falsetto voice like a tiny child's.
The group also made extensive use of the flugelhorn, a trumpetlike instrument, and the mellophone, which resembles the french horn.
WHEN ASKED why they have become so versatile, they said it "saves the trouble of taking an orchestra."
The final third of the concert featured the Mitchell Trio, which specializes in appearance before college and university audiences. After their performance, a KU student rushed backstage and said, "I've never felt like congratulating a singing group before, but I just had to this time."
Many of the Trio's numbers, such as "Lucy Baines," "Lur=
