SERIES FEVER-This group of students was caught listening to the opening pitch of the World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants
Lemons, Casey, Barber Gain Series Interest
Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1954
By JACK LINDBERG
The weather is cloudy and overcast on Mt. Oread, and the same situation holds true at the Polo Grounds, where another World Series is being played
The New York citizens are more fortunate, however, because the weatherman has promised to hold off the rain until the first game between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants is completed.
Local interest needs to be running high for the 1954 classic. One avid and well-informed fan said this morning, "If the Senators win today, there will be no stopping them in November." Other comments ran from "I still can't believe it" (a Yankee fan) to "Wait 'till next year" (a Flatbush fanatic).
After reading several sports stories on the subject of the Series, it is easy to see why Cleveland was made the favorite. The Giants do not have any ball players. Even today, the Giants are supposed to pitch "a barber." But Cleveland can't be in much better shape because they are going to pitch "a lemon."
Enrollment Hits Total of 7,517
Enrollment at the University is 7,517 at the end of the second week, an increase of 413 over 1953, James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, reported today.
The only person who didn't have anything to say about the beginning of the Series was an elderly gentleman who looked as if he might have been a faculty member He said, "I haven't taken much interest in the game since 'Mighty Casey' struck out."
The student body on the main campus is 6,741,up 331.There are 776 at the Medical center, Kansas City.The growing popularity of the graduate engineering courses accounts for part of the 82 increase there.
Mr. Hitt noted that the 749 students admitted with advanced standing, having transferred from other colleges, represent a 26 percent increase. These, with 1,548 freshmen, 4,341 upperclass and graduate students, and 103 special comprise the student body at Lawrence Of the total 2,241 are new on the campus and 4,500 are former students.
There are 1,190 veterans on the Lawrence campus, 199 more than a year ago. However the number of Korean bill veterans more than doubled to 645.
Continuing the trend of recent years, the women's portion of the student body increased. There are 133 more women compared to 199 more men. The men outnumber women 4,626 to 2,115, but the ratio of 2.18 to 1 is the smallest in many years.
Enrollment by schools is College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 2684 Engineering and Architecture, 1516.
Two replacements to the Senate were approved last night. They are Kent Shearer, who will replace Jerry Lysaught as representative from the graduate school, and Jay Swink, who will replace Dick Meyers as representative from the college Both Shearer and Swink are affiliated with POGO.
Plans to re-activate the social committee of the Associated Student council were reported on by Jane Henry, committee chairman, at last night's first meeting this year of the ASC.
ASC to Print Social Rules
The ASC also passed a resolution authorizing the appointment of a chaplain in each house. Bill Arnold, college senior, was approved as chaplain for the house, but an appointment has not yet been made for the Senate. The chaplains will open every meeting of both houses with a praver.
The committee plans to revise, publish, and make available to the social chairmen of all organized houses a list of social rules for the campus. The committee will work in coordination with the Student Union Activities committee.
Council President Bob Kennedy said he believed that this was the first time in the council's history that provision had been made for such an office.

Sen. McCarran Dies in Nevada
Hawthorne, Nev. — (U.P.) - Democratic Sen. Pat McCarran of Nevada, a "front row hell raiser" and frequent fiery foe of presidents for nearly a quarter of a century, died of a heart attack last night at the age of 78.
Mendes Seeks Arms-Saar Plan OK From Dulles
London — (U.P.)— French Premier Pierre Mendes-France met U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles privately today in a "man-to-man" bid to sell the American diplomat on his controversial "package deal" for rearming Germany.
The French plan includes controls on any Germany rearmament and a settlement of the dispute between France and Germany over the coal-rich Saar.
Authoritative sources said the French premier called for an American commitment to keep troops in Europe for 50 years as a part of his scheme for safeguarding against received German militarism.
He also was understood to have urged the United States to funnel all American military aid to Europe through the Brussels pact headquarters, which France has proposed as the agency to control German rearmament.
Mr. Dulles in a private meeting with Premier Mendes-France Monday told the Frenchman that the United States would back any suitable defense system worked out by the conference.
President Eisenhower last April 16 promised France that the United States would maintain in Europe and Germany "such units of its armed forces as may be necessary and appropriate to contribute its fair share," of the defense of the North Atlantic area.
JoyceLikened To Moderns
Geoffrey Moore, visiting Rose Morgan lecturer, compared James Joyce's novel, "Finnengan's Wake," with samples of modern writing last night in the second of his talks in Strong auditorium.
Mr. Moore said that Joyce was a literary artist who could be understood only by the educated few. Much of the basis in interpretation of Joyce's work lay in a knowledge of the terminology of the Romanticist period, he said.
Mr. Moore said that to understand any writing one must apply intelligence and the knowledge of words. Only then, he said, should one judge a piece of literature.
Every individual author contributes some technique to the writing of the novel, Mr. Moore said. He said that "the literary artist is not a civil servant to the public; he must only write what he knows."
Sen. McCarran, sixth senator to die this year, had served in the Senate continuously since 1932 and was one of its most influential members.
He presided as chairman of the powerful Judiciary committee for many years before the Eisenhower administration took office in 1953.
Death came to the senator a few minutes after he completed a speech at a Democratic party campaign rally at Hawthorne, site of a huge Naval ammunition depot 150 miles south of Reno.
Sen. McCarran did not face reelection until 1956 but had urged election of a Democrat not only in Nevada but throughout the nation in November.
"At no day in history has the United States been in such jeopardy as it is today. It is beset with enemies from within and from abroad in greater numbers than ever before."
"It is imperative that a Democratic Congress be elected in order that your senior senator may resume his position as head of the Judiciary committee of the Senate and continue his fight against Communism." Sen. McCarran declared only moments before his death.
A few minutes after completing his speech, he collapsed in the auditorium in which the rally was being held. He was pronounced dead by Dr. E. F. Hanson and Dr. Robert Nelson of Hawthorne at 11:30 p.m. (CST).
Dr. Hanson said that preliminary indications were that Sen. McCarran died of a coronary occlusion. He had suffered from a heart ailment for the past several years and had been stricken seriously several times.
Gov. Charles Russell, a Republican, is expected to appoint a Republican to succeed Sen. McCarran but there were indications this may not be done until after the Nov. 2 election. Gov. Russell said only that he had made no commitments and that "Nevada has lost a great citizen and a great statesman."
Sen. McCarran's death cuts the Democratic strength in the Senate to 46, with 48 Republicans and one independent, and could have an important bearing upon the Republican-Democratic struggle to win control of the upper chamber in November.

Studio Theater Opens Bill With 3 One-Act Plays on Tap
Intrigue, crime, and education are on the opening bill of the Studio theater which begins its season Oct. 11 to 14. Three one-act plays will be presented at 8 pm in Green theater.
Intruders begin the action of all three plays.
In "With Discretion" by Attila V. Orbok, an unannounced countess confronts her supposed lover with the fact that she has never seen him before. Their individual reactions to this situation provide the comedy and humorous comments on continental romance.
"Lithuania" by Rupert Brooke takes place in a peasant hut where a stranger demands lodging for the night. His furtiveness arouses
the family's suspicions and leads to a tragic climax.
The evening will end on a note of farce with Fritz Karinthy's play "Refund." Here the intruder is an impoverished streetsweeper who bursts into his old high school to demand his tuition and fees backs, since he feels his education has failed him.
The efforts of the principal and his faculty to eliminate this obvious stigma provide a speedy and hilarious conclusion.
Tickets for the season's six productions go on sale Monday in Green, room 2. Season tickets cost $2.50. Individual tickets may be purchased for 50 cents the night of performance at the box office.
