Murphy Says Europe Overrates U.S. Reds
"The French have no respect for authority," the chancellor said. "They seem to be making little or no sacrifices to get their economy back on stable ground. The American dollar now is a crutch to them, and unless it is taken away slowly France may never regain its former position in the world. Possibly because France was occupied by the enemy for so many years, she may have lost her heart."
A fearful and much exaggerated idea of Communist investigations in this country is held by many Europeans, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, who returned last week from a summer tour of four European nations, said Monday.
Dr. Murphy commended Germany and Britain on their rehabilitation from World War II, but said France is still weak because of political unrest.
A thing that disturbed me," Dr. Murphy said, "is that most Europeans do not seem to realize the real threat of Communism. They seem to be tired of war, and are more afraid of war than anything else."
Dr. Murphy, who last visited France in 1936, said rationing of all commodities in both Britain and Germany is due to be discontinued sometime next year.
"Europeans expressed more alarm about our legislative investigations and the effect they are having on higher education here than is warranted." Dr. Murphy said. "I and nine other college presidents who attended meetings of the Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth tried to assure people that their concern is groundless and that we still have great academic freedom."
The chancellor and his wife sailed to the Queen Mary. On the return stage they encountered a day of rugged sailing when the vessel ran through the fringe of a hurricane. Their four children did not make the trip.
Dr. and Mrs. Murphy left the United States July 1, and after spending the first two weeks abroad at meetings of the association in Great Britain, toured Switzerland, Germany, and France. They returned to Lawrence lest Thursday.
Surgeon Receives Murdock Award
Dr. Paul H. Sherman, fourth-year resident in surgery at the University of Kansas Medical center, has been awarded the 1953-54 Samuel Murdock Jr., Fellowship in Surgery, according to Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe, dean of the University of Kansas school of medicine.
Formal invitations will be mailed to parents as soon as all new students are enrolled. In the meantime, new students are requested to notify their parents of the forthcoming event.
Parents' Events Slated Oct. 3
The second annual Parents day—designed to acquaint parents of new students with the University—will be Saturday, Oct. 3, Prof. Walter J. Mikols, committee chairman, announced Monday.
Parents will be shown classrooms, laboratories, living accommodations, museums, and the hospital. The programs will provide parents an opportunity to become acquainted with staff members of the University, who will be in their offices during the morning hours.
The parents, their sons and daughters, will be invited to attend an informal reception at 10 a.m. in the Union building. The chancellor, dean of students, deans of men and women, and members of the All Student Council will greet the visitors and new students.
Last year 1,734 parents were welcomed to the campus by students and faculty. The visitors were shown phases of student life and were honored by the University band at the KU-Colorado football game in a halftime cremony.
Registered parents will be entitled to purchase tickets for the Iowa State football game, also on Oct. 3, at registration booths for a reduced price of $2 each. These tickets will admit the parents to the student section of the stadium.
The Navy ROTC unit is accepting 60 first-year men in their contract program, and already has designated the 40 freshmen to receive the regular scholarships. They are:

The lows tonight-around 50 in the northwest to the lower 60s in the southeast. Tuesday's daytime temperatures-80s northeast to near 90 southwest.
An enrollment equal to, or slightly exceeding, last year's figure is expected this year in both Army and Air Force first year basic.
Air Force ROTC students entering the second year advanced training will not be required to sign for flight training, Col. Thomas B. Summers, professor of air science, learned Friday in a telegram from Washington.
Flight Requirement Lifted From Air ROTC Seniors
Earlier this summer a new policy set stating that all AFROTC students, if physically qualified, would have to sign up for pilot or observer training in order to be eligible for a commission. This was changed to exclude second year advanced students who already have signed contracts under the old policy, however, because the Air Force didn't want to break those contracts.
A strict screening program has been installed ths's year by Col. Summers for picking freshmen and transfer students entering AFROTC for the first time. The new men must be interviewed and passed by the department before they can enroll.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS—SEC. A
51st Year, No.1
Back at their old stand this year are two by now familiar Kansan personalities—Pogo of the Okefenoke swamp and Worthal Bibler's perennial freshman.
Enrollment Begins Today; Nearly 7,000 Anticipated
HERE WE GO AGAIN—Some of the first students to run the hurdles of registration and enrollment this morning are shown at one of their first stops in the streamlined process being held for the first time in the Student Union
Bibler in today's paper, and you'll see Worthal and pals on the editorial page very often this year. Pogo, Albert, Rabbit, Churchy and other swampland creatures won't hit town until next Monday, but they'll be around every day after that.
Pogo, Worthal Back!
Wednesday night in front of the union, the annual "Last Nighter" street dance will be held, the last social function before the start of classes Thursday morning.
New Student Induction Set For Thursday
Following meetings Thursday morning with the deans of their schools, the new students took placement and physical examinations and had conferences with newly assigned faculty advisers. Special examinations given last week included a music theory test, a trigonometry exam, and foreign language aptitude tests.
Tonight at 7:30 many of the faculty members will have open house or "apple polishin'" parties at their homes. Students who will make the visits are to meet in the Memorial union.
Only one required event in this year's orientation program for new students remains on the calendar, the traditions and new student induction convocation Thursday night at Memorial stadium.
Three optional events are scheduled before that time, however. This afternoon and tomorrow afternoon an open house for new women will be held at Henley house, 1236 Oread, the YWCA organization on the campus. Open houses will be from 2 to 4 p.m. both days.
The orientation program began last Wednesday night with a meeting of all entering students at Hoch auditorium. That afternoon an informal reception for new students and their parents was held in the union.
Extracurricular activities provided were a watermelon feed Thursday night at Potter lake for men sponsored by the YMCA and the Javhawk Nibble at the lake Friday night for all new students. The nibble was sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee in cooperation with the All Student Council.

Plans are being made for the second annual Radio News clinic here Nov. 13 and 14. Co-sponsoring it with the University is the Kansas Association of Raido Broadcasters.
Radio Clinic Plans Readied
Sessions will begin at 2 p.m. Nov. 13, continuing through Saturday morning. Those attending the clinic will be guests of the University Athletic association at the Kansas-Oklahoma A & M football game No. 14.
Health Exam Dates Listed
Students who plan to apply for scholarships that require a physical examination should make appointments as soon as possible at the student health service if they wish to be examined there, Director Ralph I. Canuteson said today.
The fall schedule of physical examinations is very heavy and late-comers may not be able to get the examination done in time, Dr. Canuteson said.
Final date for examination at the health service for Fulbright applicants to New Zealand is Oct. 2, for Australia Oct. 15, and for all other countries Oct. 16.
Completion of these examinations can be greatly aided if appointments are made for dates on which group examinations are being made, Dr. Canuteson said.
Increase of 250 Over Last Year
A slight influx of returning Korean veterans is expected to help swell the total enrollment of the University to near the 7,000 mark. James K. Hitt, registrar and dean of admissions, predicts.
The total increase is expected by Mr. Hitt to be about 250 more than last year's figure of about 6,750, as the upward trend of enrollments at KU continues since the post-war low point in 1951.
Last year about 200 Korean veterans took advantage of the GI bill to continue their schooling here and another 200 are expected to enroll this year. About 100 foreign students, practically the same number as in 1852, will be among the enrollees.
"After an all-time high of nearly 10,000 students right after the war." Mr. Hitt said, "enrollment steadily decreased. Then last year we jumped back up a bit, and all indications seem to show that the rise is on again. Possibly in six or seven years, when the first batch of war babies reach college age, we may be up in the 10,000s again."
Registration and enrollment began this morning and will continue until Wednesday night.

Geological Survey Creates New Unit
A petroleum engineering division has been created in the State Geological Survey at the University to carry on continued research dealing with petroleum technology.
Dr. C. F. Weinaug, a petroleum engineer with the survey on part-time status since 1949 and chairman of the petroleum engineering department of the University, will head the division. Dr. Weinaug is chairman of the Kansas Secondary Oil Recovery committee, and is a member of the engineering and secondary recovery committees of the Interstate Oil Compact commission.
As supervisor of the newly organized petroleum engineering division of the Geological Survey, Dr. Weinau will set up definite technological research projects pertaining to secondary recovery. Before coming to the University in 1948, he was a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Texas and research engineer in the bureau of research there. Previous to that he was a chemical engineer with the Phillips Petroleum company at Bartlesville.
