New two-week finals lauded, loathed
By Susan Brandmeyer Kansan Staff Reporter
Student reaction to KU's first two-week final period is varied.
Some students like having more time to prepare for their exams, while others find it difficult to study with so much free time.
Cammie Clowes, La Grange, Ill., junior, felt her grades improved because of two-week finals.
"My grades were the best they've ever been. I don't think I could have done it without all the extra time I had to study," said Miss Clowes.
Beverly Marple, Smith Center junior, agreed that two-week finals are a good idea.
"When you're taking a lot of courses it really helps to have exams spread out," she said. "I took six courses and I didn't have more than one final a day. I think it helped me do better."
However some students found it hard to study when they had a few days between finals.
Cheri Petty, Prairie Village senior, said she had five days
"Then I had two more finals in one day," said Miss Petty. "To me it was almost as bad as having three in one day when finals were only two hours long."
between two of her finals and found it difficult to study in the time she had in between.
John Williams, La Jolla, Calif., junior, doesn't think the two week finals affected his grades.
"I did relax more because there was less pressure." Williams said. "But I study just as much for a final lasting $1_{2}^{2}$ hours as I do for one lasting three hours. However, I did cover a greater amount of material better than I ever have before."
Emily Caignon, Topeka junior, wants one-week finals again. "During one week everyone studied," she said. "With two week finals everybody messes around too much."
Though students may disagree on the length final period should be, most students do agree on their dislike of finals in general.
"I wouldn't like finals whether they're one month or two days long," said Jeannie Blau, Overland Park junior. "I don't think they make that much difference in my grades."
Ace of Hearts car rallye scheduled
By Jane Abildgaard Kansan Staff Reporter
A frolicking Valentine's sports car rallye will be run next Sunday afternoon.
The Ace of Hearts Rallye, sponsored by the Jayhawk Sports Car Club, will begin in X zone with registration from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. The first car will leave at 1:30 p.m.
driving skill is not needed because the driver follows instructions read by his navigator. The instructions for running the rallye are given out at registration and along the route. Anyone may enter.
This will be a gimmick rallye, a pleasant drive around the Lawrence area, Jim Imbeau, Galena senior and rallymaster for the month, said. The object is to ace the rallye.
and the teams are usually couples. The club runs mostly gimmick-type rallies with an average of about 30 cars competing each time.
All that is needed for the rallye is a car—not necessarily a sports car—and a navigator. Special
The Jayhawk Sports Car Club hopes to interest new members who are not expert drivers. The rallye, Imbeau said, is designed entirely for anyone's pleasure,

"The rallye tests the driver's ability to follow instructions and arrive at a certain place," Imbeau said. "The gimmick is usually a problem that the driver and his navigator must solve in order to reach the finish of the route." Imbeau said there would probably be a party after the rallye.
Another kind of rally the club sometimes has is the time-speed-distance rallye. This, Imbeau said, is the more complicated kind of rallye. In it, the driver must hold an average speed the distance of the route, or he must time his speed so he arrives at the end at a specified time. The TSD rallye requires the navigator to have a minor knowledge of math.
The club is open to members of both sexes. Imbeau said there are a number of girls in the club and they act as both navigators and drivers.

Johnson asks for drug law
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Johnson, in a special anticrime message to Congress, called today for a stepped-up federal crackdown on drug abuse, with LSD as a primary target.
He asked that illegal sale of LSD, now a misdemeanor, be made a felony and illegal possession of this and other drugs in the dangerous class be made a misdemeanor.
He said, however, that his program, largely a cal' for passage of recommendations made last year, was no substitute for local law enforcement which he said remains the basic responsibility of towns and cities.
The President said his proposals are aimed at making "conditions of life for most law-abiding citizens safer, and thus freer and happier."
Possession of marijuana now carries a stiffer penalty than possession of LSD-2 to ten years imprisonment for a first offense and a five year minimum for illegal sale of marijuana. There is now no penalty for personal possession of LSD.
This was an effort to make laws applying to LSD consistent with current laws covering marijuana
Tourist gimmick
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce has come up with a gimmick to increase tourism in the prairie state—a wallet card enumerating 50 great "wonders" of Kansas.
Included among reasons for stopping in Kansas: the state builds more than half the world's private aircraft, and grows more wheat than anywhere else.
Airliner crashes
VANCOUVER, B.C. —(UPI)—A Canadian Pacific Airlines Boeing 707 jetliner crashed into a small building at the edge of the runway at Vancouver Airport today killing at least one person and injuring eight others.

Since it's never in,it's never out.
Each year the new cars come rolling out with the latest frills.
Wow.
And each year the old Volkswagen rolls out looking just the same.
Ho hum.
But when the year goes by, new fads soon outdate the old fads. And the hottest-looking car last year is just that: the hottest-looking car last year.
But a VW is still just a VW. Not looking up-to-date, but not looking out-of-date either. (So you'll never have a Has-Been on your hands when you want to sell it.)
Instead of wasting time making the VW look better, we spend our time making it work better.
And this year there are dozens of ways it works better. (That makes over 2200 in all since it first started working period.)
In the end, the choice is yours; pay a big price for a year of glory.
Or a small price for a VW.
