Freshmen Say Enrollment Explanations Are Inadequate
Poor explanations of enrollment and registration was the chief complaint made of orientation week by freshmen attending the Campus Affairs meeting Wednesday night.
Freshmen said that the meetings in which enrollment was discussed were too large to answer specific questions of course prerequisites, and requirements. They also complained that the "closed classes" bulletin board was not explained clearly.
As a possible remedy to these complaints the committee discussed possibilities of freshmen having scheduled interviews with faculty members or undergraduate student counselors before enrollment.
Dr. Laurence Woodruff, dean of men, said that such a plan had been tried. "Students volunteer to help, but half of them do not show up when they are needed," Dean Woodruff said. "There simply are not enough faculty members to have interviews with every new student.
When asked if students would not reply better if they were paid, Dean Woodruff explained that the University budget did not allow sufficient funds for such payment.
Required attendance at the orientation programs was another criticism by the new students. Requirement to go to so many meetings and convocations in the first week stifled the desire to attend they said.
A suggestion was made that if information on regulations, requirements, and extra-curricular activities were sent to the new students in June, the information could be read before orientation week. Thus, part of the general information meetings, which are now required, could be eliminated.

The new students gave two reasons why the ceremony had not impressed them. North College hill was so crowded that the majority of persons could not see what was going on, or hear what was being said and 2. There was no seriousness in the attitude of the participants because they did not understand what was going on.
Foreign student problems at the University and how American students can better relationships with the foreign students will be discussed at the next Campus Affairs meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Topeka To Hold Postgraduate Medical Course
The University will open a postgraduate medical program with a course in psychosomatic medicine Monday, Nov. 5 through Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the Winter V.A. hospital, Meninger foundation and state hospital in Topeka.
The staffs of the three Topeka institutions are cooperating with the KU faculty in presenting the program.
The completion of the new auditorium at the Meninger foundation has permitted the lifting of the limits on attendance, according to H. G. Ingham, director of the Extension program in medicine. When the course was first held in Topeka last year, many enrollments had to be turned down.
"Not only can we accept all enrollments from doctors in general practice, for whom the course is planned," Mr. Ingham said, "but we can now grant the numerous requests from clinical psychologists who wish to attend."
Two outstanding lecturers with national reputations have been obtained, he continued. They are Dr. Jurgen Ruesch, research psychiatrist at the University of California school of medicine; and Dr. Reynold A. Jensen, child psychiatrist and pediatrician, University of Minnesota graduate school of medicine.
'Religious Week Slated For March
Religious Emphasis week at the University will be from Sunday, March 16, to Sunday, March 23, the student religious council announced Tuesday.
The council decided to have a special speaker from each religious denomination to talk during the week rather than having a principal speaker as in previous years.
The council voted to hold Religious Emphasis week during the fall next year with representatives from the national council of churches to be the program leaders.

The laboratory at Watkins hospital handled more than 20,000 tests and x-rays last year in contrast to 4,500 in 1931, the first year of operation.

"It has a 70 millimeter X-ray machine for rapid tuberculosis checks and a large diagnostic machine for pulmonary cases, fractures and teeth X-rays," she said.
Most laboratory procedures consist of appendicitis, anemia, glandular fever and influenza tests. Some procedures are run for diabetes, jaundice and liver damage.
Undulant fever, "rabbit fever," typhoid, urinalysis and basal metabolism tests are other frequent checks made by the laboratory.
