Twelve Foreign Students

Twelve foreign students from ten different
countries—Sweden, England, Italy, Canada,
Puerto Rico, Venzuela, Panama, Japan, Hawaii,
and Philippine Islands,—are enrolled at the
University this year. Among the newcomers is
Jean Elizabeth Brownlee of Northwood, Eng-
land, daughter of Harold, ’13, and Ethel Ul-
rich Brownlee, ‘15.

Smoking Arrangements

In the past few years student smokers edged
into some of the University buildings. In the
beautiful rotunda of Frank Strong hall the past
few years they have gradually formed the habit
of congregating in larger and larger numbers
between classes and sending up larger and
larger clouds of blue smoke. Deane Malott,
new Chancellor, talked with C. H. Mullen,
and Velma Wilson, student council presidents,
about tie matter. Mullen introduced a bill in
the Men’s Council barring smoking from Uni-
versity buildings. Much discussion arose. Mr.
Malott was called to talk to a joint meet-
ing of the councils, whose attention he called
to the poor housekeeping of such practice, and
danger of burning those buildings which are not
fire proof. Student sentiment seems strongly
against a general smoking ban but a compro-
mise plan whereby smokers will be relegated to
the basement of Strong Hall and entirely out of
buildings not fireproof seems a probable solu-
tion. Fraser hall, Robinson gymnasium, and
Marvin hall have never been invaded by smok-
ers.
Mr. Malott had another brush with students
when he found it necessary to close the lower
gate to the new Chancellor's residence. Mrs.
Watkins, the former occupant of the place,
permitted students to walk through the grounds
on their way to the several fraternity, sorority
and private houses located on the east edge of
the Watkins grounds. The coming of the new
Chancellor’s family into the house seemed to
cause a marked increase in the number of per-
sons going through the grounds, not all of
whom appeared to be students, and some of
whom had great curiosity. The closing of the
gate caused several students to walk around
the place but made few of them late to classes.

Rush Week

Under supervision of the ‘Lawrence Pan
Hellenic council of alumnae, working with the
Pan Hellenic organization of active members,
this year’s rush week of sororities was quieter
than in some years. One point stressed by the
alumnae management was that the nine sor-
orities had openings for all the 162 rushees
who attended the rush week activities. If a

, student determined to join a certain sorority
and refused another where they was a place for
her, that was the girl’s business, not the fault

of the system arranged, the alumnae declared.
In all there were 144 women pledged.

The men went their own old regular way in
their rushing activities with apparently no great
fuss or bother. The sixteen fraternities “yelled
in” 307 pledges.

Plan New A.T.O. House

Alpha Tau Omega fraternity has purchased
the lot on Tennessee street, between the Sigma
Chi and Acacia fraternity houses, the site
formerly owned by Kappa Sigma fraternity,
and will begin construction of a new Prince-
ton type chapter house there sometime in Oc-
tober. It is expected that the house, large
enough to accommodate 42 students, will be
ready for occupancy by the second semester.
Plans for the building were drawn by Sam Bihr,
e’21, g’22, Kansas City, Mo., architect, who is
an alumnus of the chapter.

Into Old Chancellor’s Residence

The former Chancellors residence at 1345
Louisiana St., home of three University chan-
cellors, Snow, Strong, and Lindley, has been
rented to the “Men of 1011,” semi-organized
student group. The group takes its name
from its former residence at 1011 Indiana St.,
and is one of the oldest on the Hill, having
been in existence for seven years. Government

of the house is in the hands of members, who —

are chosen to a large extent from Summerfield
scholars. Chancellor Malott and family live
in the house bequeathed to the University by the
late Elizabeth M. Watkins.

Same Old Enrollment Rigmarole
A memory shared alike by all who have ever been students at K.U. is enrollment, with its milling
crowds and long lines on the floor of Robinson Gym, with it advice and its decisions. At right,

Miss Rosemary Ketchum, head of
the design department, helps some
of her students choose their courses
for the year. Left to right are Betty
Brown, Nancy Kesler, and Ruth
Alvord. At center, students wait
their turn for one of the necessary
checking up processes. At bottom,
the board shows classes that are
filled. Many a freshman turns away
from the board with the sad knowI-
edge that that 1:30 lab is filled and
he’ll have to take the 3:30.
Registration takes place along the
100-yard hallway in the basement of
Strong Hall, enrollment on the sec-
ond floor of Robinson Gymnasium.
