FAIRY TALES—Miss Maud Ellsworth, director of Art Education, and Miss Mary Beall Porch, director of Student Union Activities Exhibits, examine several of the Hans Christian Andersen pictures now on exhibit at the Union. The pictures are children's interpretations of Andersen's fairy tales and have been chosen for the exhibit from thousands of entries sent in by children all over the world.
of school children from 45 countries sent their illustrations.
From the thousands of entries, several exhibits were selected. The competition was sponsored by the International Union for Child Welfare.

Law Enrollment Rise at Mid-Year
The Law school shows 10 per cent more full time students than last semester, in contrast to the normal enrollment trend.
Dr. Clubb to Speak At University Club
Dr. Merrrel D. Clubb, professor of English, will lecture at the University club Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m. "Wandering in the Western Wonderland" will be the topic of his speech.
"Usually the enrollment in the Law school the second semester is about 10 to 15 percent below that of the first semester, but this year the situation is exactly opposite," Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law. said.
Full-color pictures taken by Dr. Clubb on his travels will be shown. Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, is to be host.
The school has an enrollment of 153 for the spring semester as compared to 143 last term. "The increase was due to returning veterans, transfers, and college students beginning the study of law at mid-semester," Dean Moreau said. This increase is expected to continue as Korean war veterans come back to school in greater numbers, he said.
Die Fledermaus Begins Tonight
The first performance of Johann Strauss's "Die Fleddermaus" will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater, to be followed by performances on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings.
"I believe that the new library facilities have been an added incentive to law study," Dean Moreau said.
Produced by the University Theatre in cooperation with the KU Light Opera guild, the Viennese operetta will also be enacted before a special audience of high school students from northeast Kansas on Thursday afternoon.
Students may obtain tickets for reserved seats at the box office in the basement of Green hall upon presentation of their identification cards. The box office will be open from 10 a.m. until 12 noon and from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. each day this week.
Reserved seats are still available for each performance.

Larkin to Be Replacement
Jerry Knudson, journalism senior,
resigned as editor of the Jayhawker
yearbook Friday at a meeting of the
All Student Council committee on
publications. He is to be succeeded
by Wilbur Larkin, engineering junior.
In a written statement of resignation presented to the committee, Knudson said that since he may be drafted during the spring semester, he felt his successor should take over now.
Larkin is former organizations editor of the Jayhawker.
His appointment followed an interview with the publications committee at the time of Knudson's resignation. He is to take over immediately and finish out the school year.
Two issues of the four-part book had been compiled and distributed during Knudson's editorship. The third issue is to be out shortly before Spring vacation.
Jack Rein, business senior and business manager of the Jayhawker reported that the sale of 150 more subscriptions would prevent a deficit for the year. If the sales were made, he pointed out, this will be the first year in five that the Jayhawker staved out of the red.
Rein explained that printing and engraving prices have fallen and that more subscriptions and advertising have been sold this year. 150-200 subscriptions were sold during the recent Spring enrollment, he said.
East Germans Slow Production Output
Berlin —(U.P.)— East German workers have started labor slow-downs in factories in protest against Russian moves to keep them under the yoke of communism, fragmentary reports from the Soviet zone said today.
The West Berlin "fighting group against inhumanity" said the information it has received disclosed that the workers were the same men who led last June's uprisings. Slowdowns resulted from the Russians' refusal to accept Western plans for German unification and free elections, plus a potato famine and other food shortages in the Communist sector.
Anti-Communist workers, operating under the cover of darkness, chalked demands for free elections on walls of buildings in East Berlin.
All changes in the enrollments of College students must be made this week in the College office, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College announced today.

"Late enrollments in courses are always a handicap to students," Dean Lawson said. "It is therefore essential that students get started this week in all the courses that they plan to take this semester."
