New Tests Increase Casualties At KU
A satire filled clippings piece notes an anonymous student quip about old exam copies, mocking test changes by a professor. It mentions Charles McCreight, Mae West stories, and gossip about Jonn Jankowsky planning to attend Northwestern and Stanford, along with concerns over Peggy Anne Landon and a QUIP about a governor's daughter. It ends with Prof Landes calculating five trillion tons of salt beneath Kansas and a prism equivalent that could cover five miles square and rise 23 miles high, suggesting students should take his statements with a grain of salt.
