Union Music Room A Popular Spot
A popular room on the campus is the music room in the Union. The room is filled from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily with students listening to the classics.
More than 1,000 records and 500 popular books on almost any subject are on file.
The music room was established in 1938 through a grant from the Carnegie foundation. In 1947 the first book purchases for the room were made. Now an annual budget of $400 is allowed for this purpose.
When the Union additions are completed there will be a separate browsing room where the books will be kept.
Stateswomen Meet Todav
This year the music room is being operated on the honor system. The system will be used as long as the records and books are not misused.
Friday will be the last day on which College students will be permitted to enroll in new courses or change sections of courses, said Dean Paul B. Lawson.
All girls who have attended Girls State in Kansas or other states are invited to the first meeting of Stateswomen's club at 7:15 tonight in the Kansas room of the Union.
On weekends the music room will have an attendant for the purpose of playing regular selections. Anyone may bring their own records to play if they wish to do so.
Friday Is Last Day For Re-enrollment
Students may still enroll in the "Upsurge in Asia" course provided they attend the third meeting of the class at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.2.
THREE AUSTRIAN EXCHANGE STUDENTS, Charlotte Schwartz, Hans Winder and Kurt Asamer, hear about the University of Kansas from Rudolph Stadlmann (right), who studied here last year. The picture was taken in the garden of the American legation in Vienna shortly before the trio left for the United States.
KU Life, Many Activities Leave Austrians In A Whirl
Kurt Asamer finds dormitory life at Sterling hall very pleasant. There were no cooperative houses or scholarship halls in Austria, only private homes. He is especially interested in music and languages.
Hans Winder finds that living across the street from the stadium is quite interesting. He enjoys watching all the football scrimmages, although skiing is his favorite hobby. While in Austria he received his M.A. degree in French and English. He has passed the exam to teach high school in his country and plans to complete work on his Ph.D. when he returns.
Charlotte Schwarz likes the atmosphere of Lawrence because students are so predominant in the town. She finds this quite different from university towns in Austria. Miss Schwarz plans to get her master's degree in English while here.
At the end of the academic year they will then return to Austria to teach their countrymen what they have learned here.
Six of 177 English-speaking Austrian students studying in the United States this year are at the University. They will stay here one year under the State department's student exchange program
One should be neither a book worm nor a social butterfly was the advice of the Fulbright program advisor to the six students before they left Vienna.
Susanne Schmalhofer, one of the three, is from Leoben. She, like the rest, is a special student living at Miller hall. Her academic interests are German and English.
Social life at the University is quite new to them. At this time they feel that they may be leaning slightly toward the social butterfly class, partly because of the many clubs which have invited them to meetings.
Art, music, and sports are the favorite hobbies of Elinor Loffelman. Coming from Grez, she studied law and English while there. Her special interests lie in journalism. Watkins hall will be her home during the year.
Three of the students came over from Vienna on the ship Constitution. They arrived in the United States Aug. 4.
Klaus Ziegler has found that people are very interested in his country and Leoben, the town from which he comes. He is never able to answer all the questions that are asked him by the men at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house where he is living. While at K.U. he is studying English and economics.
A second group of students arrived in New York on Sept. 1. Three of them also were to study at the University.
The most outstanding difference
noted in our educational system as compared to Austrian universities was the student-instructor relationship, the visitors have decided.
Summerfield Men To Meet Today
The first organized meeting of Summerfield scholars will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday.
James K. Hitt, chairman of the Summerfield Scholarships committee, asks that the students be on the steps of Dyche hall promptly at 4 p.m. to have their annual picture taken. Coat and tie are requested for the picture.
Later they will adjourn to 105 Green hall for a brief meeting for getting acquainted and planning the year's activities.

Nightshirts And Pigtails To Be The Style Friday
A $5 prize and numerous free theater passes will be given to participants in the 47th annual Nightshirt parade to be held 7:30 p.m. Friday beginning at the Union building.
he in a great position. Chancellor Strong appeared on his
The $5 prize is to be awarded the best costumed man and woman in the parade. The free passes will be given to all participants to the 9 p.m. show at the Varsity and Drive-In theaters. A free movie will also be given at 11:15 p.m. at the Granada theater for all members of the procession. No pass will be necessary at the Granada.
Women may wear blue jeans and pigtails in preference to the traditional pajamas or nightshirt, it was announced today. Men, however, have been granted no such concessions.
The nightshirt parade is an annual affair given before the first home football game of the year. It began in 1905 when peace between classes was established and a parade was instituted to let the freshmen work off surplus energy. Members of both classes gathered in front of the home of Chancellor Frank Strong to explain that they were there in a great peace jubilee.
balcony in his nightshirt. Since that time there has been a Nightshirt parade.
Tom Murphy, traditions chairman of the All Student Council, urges all freshmen as well as upper classmen to attend to help Chancellor Franklin Murphy re-enact the Nightshirt parade days and to lend moral support to the football team.
James Logan, All Student Council president, believes that all students should turn out to show the football team that they are behind them.
"I think I'll get my nightshirt out and go myself," he said.
The parade will assemble at the Union. It will move north on Oread and Louisiana streets to Corbin hall, east on 11th street to Vermont street, north to Eighth street, east to Massachusetts, and south to South park. A bonfire ceremony will be held there, refreshments will be served, and theater tickets will be passed out.
The first test to be given at K.U. will be in the Military Science building, according to Dr. Gordon Colliser, assistant professor of education, who is in charge of giving the examinations here.
A score of at least 70 on the test or high standing the class is required for deferments, Freshmen in the upper half of the class, sophomores in the upper two-thirds and junior in the upper three-fourths are considered for deferments.
We strongly advise all male students to take the test because experience has shown that the vast majority of Kansas draft boards are taking the exams and class ratings into consideration, James K. Hitt, registrar, said today.
Mr. Hitt said that his office urged freshmen to join the R.O.T.C. units with the result that most of them did.
Upperclassmen are also eligible to join the officer candidate programs of the Navy and Marines and are advised to do so instead of relying entirely upon the draw which is constantly subject to change.
Any student who wishes a letter to be sent to his draft board or who has a problem concerning military Hitt to come to his office for advice.
Mr. Hitt explained that under the present law, any full time student who receives his order to report for induction can demand a postponement to the end of the school year.
A United Press story today also announced that about 385,000 childless husbands and 4-F's soon will lose their draft deferments and become eligible for military service.
These changes came in a bill signed by President Truman Wednesday which also lowered the mental standards.
An all-day speech and debate clinic for Kansas high school teachers and students will be conducted here Saturday, Oct. 6 by the University and the Kansas State High School Activities.
Speech Clinic To Meet Here
The 1951-52 high school debate subject will be the basis for much of the program conducted by speech teachers from K.U. and the University of Nebraska. The topic is: "Resolved: All American citizens should be subject to conscription or essential service in time of war." N.U. and K.U. teams will present a demonstration debate on the topic.
E. A. Thomas, K.S.H.S.A.A. commissioner, Topeka, will explain the year's program of speech activities for Kansas schools. Kim Giffin, assistant professor of speech, will give an analysis of the question. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, will give an evaluation of debating methods and Prof. Dale Olson of Nebraska will analyze high school debate problems. Allen Crafton, professor of speech, will lecture on high school dramatics.
A panel discussion will conclude the program. Panel members will be Professors Buehler and Olson; I. T. Dirks, speech instructor at Winchester high school; Hugo Capper, speech instructor at Atchison high school; and M. E. Swanson, speech instructor at Shawne Mission high school.
