AWS Grants Key Privilege Again
For the third year in the history of the Associated Women Students at the University of Kansas, senior women living in organized houses may check out a key to their house and remain out past the closing hours established by the AWS Board of Standards.
Each organized women's house has a locked key box from which the keys are checked out and another box designed to hold returned keys. All senior keys must be returned to the "Return Box" by 7 a.m. on the morning following checkout, so that the senior on duty may
check to see that no irregularities have occurred.
A senior's key privilege is immediately revoked if:
- Any other person enters the house with the key checked out or as the result of the senior's unlocking the door;
- Her key is lost or stolen;
- Her escort steps inside the door after regular AWS closing hours;
- She uses any key other than the one checked out to her bearing a University of Kansas tag;
- She engages in or fails to report any irregularity with regard to the key system to the senior delegate, house president, and house director.
- The entire house loses the senior key privilege if:
- The president or senior delegate fails to report any irregularity known or suspected in the use of keys to a member of the staff of the Dean of Women by 8:30 a.m.
- The key box, keys, and correctly completed senior sign-outs are not immediately available for check on demand by any adviser or University official.
- There is any evidence that keys or the key box have been tampered with in any way.
- The key box is left unattended in any unlocked place.
- The exact stipulations above are altered in any way without the specific consent of the AWS Senior Privilege Board.

KU Enrollment Breaks 11,000 This Semester
University of Kansas enrollment has reached a record high that should exceed 11,350 when the official tabulation is made, James K. Hitt, director of admissions and registrar, said yesterday.
Classwork for KU's 97th year began yesterday morning with 11.-051 registered. This figure is a gain of 573 over the comparable 1961 figure and put KU beyond the 11,000 mark for the first time. There are 10,136 enrolled here and 915 at the Medical Center in Kansas City. Both figures represent records which may be further increased by as many as 300 late enrollees.
The student body here includes 3,356 new students and 6,780 former students. The gain over the 1961 figure is 381. Medical Center enrollment is up 192, reflecting the transfer of first year medical students to that campus along with a heavy load of medical science graduate students.
There are 6,461 men and 3,655 women on the Lawrence campus, a continuation of the trend for women to produce the more significant enrollment gains. The current ratio of men to women on the Lawrence campus is 1.77 to 1, the lowest except for the World War II years.
Official enrollment figures will be drawn on Oct. 3 when students will have paid their fees. Data on enrollment by class and schools within the University will not be available until that report is compiled.
Reading Changes Won't Affect West. Civ. Test
Students who have put off taking the Western Civilization comprehensive examination will be relieved to learn that no major change has been made in the program this year.
James E. Seaver, professor of history and director of the program, said today that several new readings have been added, but he felt they would not present serious problems to students taking the January examination. The only other change is the placement of past readings into a larger edition of "Collected Readings."
THE JANUARY EXAMINATION will cover material from the first term last year and the new material added in the second semester readings this year. It will be up to individual students to read the new material for the examination.
"THE DISCUSSION COURSE IS not intended as a preparation for the examination. It serves as an opportunity for students to discuss the material and present new ideas," Prof. Seaver stated.
The director said that the new readings were not difficult. Several students are auditing the discussion course in preparation for the January examination. He said the need for auditing discussions would depend on how stable the individual felt on his knowledge of past material.
Prof. Seaver said that the American student is coddled too much. He said the Western Civilization program is based on the European system which encourages the student to delve for his own information and to do most of the work on his own.
Rodney and the Blazers, Southeast Kansas Rock 'n Roll band will climax the 1962 Parents' Day, Sept. 22, at a dance in the Kansas Union ballroom.
Parents' Day Features Band
Since the group was formed three years ago in Coffeyville they have appeared at KU several times. Last fall the band appeared with Jerry Lee Lewis and his combo in Mexico City.
The dance ending the parents' day activities at midnight is only one of the day's highlights. Parents and visitors may attend the opening Texas Christian University game at 1:30 p.m. Seats in the reserve section of the Stadium will be on sale to visitors for $2.50 instead of the regular $4.00 price.
The Kansas Union open house will begin at 10 a.m. with a buffet lunch served at noon. Students may tour the building with their parents and watch film highlights of the 1961 TCU-KU game in the Forum Room until game time.

UN Assembly Opens Session
UNITED NATIONS. — (UPI) The General Assembly opened its 17th annual session today in a diplomatic atmosphere dominated by tension concerning the situations in Berlin and Cuba.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk did not plan an appearance this week. British foreign secretary the Earl of Ome was due to arrive Sunday. French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve De Murville was expected next week.
Foreign ministers of 14 countries were expected for the session, which is expected to run beyond Christmas, but Russia's Andrei Gromyko was the only top-ranking representative of the Big Four powers present for the opening.
Outgoing president Mongi Slim, recently appointed Tunisian foreign minister, opened the session with a brief statement before going into this year's presidential election in which Muhammad Zafrulla Khan of Pakistan, the favorite, opposed G. P. Malalaseker of Ceylon.
Neither issue appeared, however, in the 93-item agenda on the desks of delegates of the 104 member countries as they rose for the customary minute for silent prayer or meditation which opens each yearly meeting.
The new members are the African countries of Rwanda and Burundi, which until this year were administered by Belgium as the U.N. trust territory of Ruanda-Urundi, and the two former British Caribbean countries of Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
Main business of today's opening session after the election of the assembly president was the admission of four new members, raising the UN membership to 108 countries.
Injured KU Freshman Improves at Watkins
"The doctors are optimistic," reports Fred Lamar, president of theLambda Chi Alpha fraternity where Bruce Denton, Denton, Kan., is a bledge.
A University of Kansas freshman who was injured in a touch football game last week is at Watkins Hospital and is now allowed to have two visitors per day.
Denton took a turn for the worse Saturday night, but has been improving progressively.
He was injured Monday, Sept. 10, while playing football with friends. In what was described as a "spectacular play" he lunged at a ball carrier and tagged him. After the play he told friends he heard his stomach "pop."
Exploratory surgery was performed that evening to remove
blood clots caused by hemorrhaging.
Several hours later another operation was performed and at this time two arteries were tied together.
Six pints of blood were used after the operation which exhausted the supply of O positive blood at the Lawrence blood bank. The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity was notified and the only three men with that type of blood were rushed to the hospital.
House officers started calling other fraternity houses and within a half-hour more than enough donors were obtained. Ten pints of blood were given and the other students' names were taken in case of emergency.
By last Wednesday morning additional blood was not needed as the internal hemorrhaging had stopped and Denton continued to improve.
Athletic Board Starts Talks On Stadium Enlargement
The University of Kansas athletic board today is discussing plans for a $600,000 addition to Memorial Stadium.
Approval of the plan could increase the stadium's 38,000 capacity to 45,000 in time for the 1963 football season.
The new plan calls for an addition of 1,000 seats by building 25 rows to the top of the west side of the stadium.
Calvin A. VanderWerf, Professor of Chemistry and chairman of the University Athletic Corp., said the plan had been endorsed by the athletic department.
He said key members of the John H. Outland Fund were approached
earlier in an effort to secure promise of financial backing. Fund members voiced enthusiasm for the new plan.
A proposal made last year for enlargement of the stadium provided for lowering of the football field and removal of the track to allow seating to be added downward.
If the new plan is unanimously approved by the athletic board, it will be recommended to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and considered by the Board of Regents Friday in Olathe.
"We're trying desperately to get a plan that will please everyone," said Prof. VanderWerf.
