Large Increase In Three ROTC Enrollments
Enrollment in the University's three branches of the R. O. T. C. is at an all-time high this semester with registration not completed.
WITH THE LIGHT OF THE TORCH illuminating the north end of the stadium, the cheerleaders lead the new students in the Alma Mater and Rock Chalk yell. The yell ended the 1951 new students' induction ceremony at which Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy spoke. The University seal was interpreted to the new students and the flaming torch, which symbolized knowledge being passed from generation to
generation was brought down the north slope of Mt. Oread
Largest increase was shown by the Air Force R O T C. where enrollment nearly doubled. Monday morning 931 had enrolled, compared with 530 for
last year. The figures showed 415
adverts in the first year course, 273
in the second, 134 in the third and
109 in the last year.
In Navy R. O. T. C. 248 are enrolled. There 88 freshmen, 61 sophomores, 41 juniors, 50 seniors, and eight men who have completed the courses but have not received degrees.
These increases are probably results of the current draft inductions. A student enrolled in one of the R. O. T. C. branches is deferred from service.
Army R.O.T.C. estimated that 213 had enrolled by Monday morning. Late enrollment is expected to increase this figure.
The A. F. R. O. T. C. has increased the number of specialized career training fields available. Specialized training in communications and in flight operations are now offered.
Additional instructors have been assigned to meet the bulge in attendance. In A. R. O. T. C. Capt. Bernard Turkla is newly assigned. The three new N. R. O. T. C. instructors assigned are Lt. M. D. Becker, Lt. K. A. Woodfin, and G. M. C. R. K. Clemmons.
New instructors in A. F. R. O. T. C.
are Lt. Col. Bayard M. Atwood,
Capt. T. C. Burke, Capt. J. Collard,
M/Sgt. H. C. Hunn, M/Sgt. R. L
Oliver, M/Sgt. G. H. Pursselley, and
F/Sgt. H. V. Grahs.
Campanile Program Set; To Ring Daily
The schedule for campanile recitals during the first semester has been announced by the campanile committee.
The 53-bell carillon will be played from 11:50 a.m. to noon Monday through Saturday, each Wednesday at 7 p.m., and each Sunday at 3 p.m. There will be a concert from 1 to 1:30 p.m. before home football games this fall, and one for 10 minutes before general convocations.
The bells will also be rung at 7 p.m. on the day before the resumption of classes after vacations. There will be a special program for Christmas, and there is a possibility that a visiting carillonneur will give a special concert during the semester, according to Dean Thomas Gorton of Fine Arts.
Ronald Barnes, the University's carillonneur, will play all the regularly scheduled concerts.
Two Women Named Research Assistants
On the campanile committee are Dean Gorton, D. M. Swarthout, professor of piano; Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association; Mr. Barnes; Haywood Davis, College senior; Virginia Thomson, business senior, and Rosemary Scheuerman and Stanford Lehmberg, College juniors.
Miss Harriet Shedd and Mrs. James L. Grimes have been appointed full-time research assistants in the Bureau of Government Research at the University.
Mrs. Grimes, the former Marcee Dameron, of Kansas City, Mo., received the A.B. degree from K.U. last June. Miss Shedd holds degrees from Pomona college in California and the University of Illinois.
Deane Malott's Cornell Job Begins Wednesday
Ithaca, N.Y. (Special)—A new administration, headed by Deane W. Malott as sixth president, will begin officially at Cornell university with the opening of the college year Wednesday.
Mr. Malott, former chancellor at the University of Kansas, succeeds the late Dr. Edmund Ezra Day. His successor at Kansas, Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, was installed there Monday.
Installation ceremonies will highlight the first day of classes here for some 9,200 students. In accordance with Mr. Malot's wishes the ceremony will be confined to an hourlong program "within the Cornell family and in keeping with the times."
Simplicity of the exercises will be emphasized by the absence of the traditional caps and gowns and academic procession. An informal luncheon for university and student officials is the only other event on the program.
A $30,000,000 annual budget is used in the overall operation of a university which extends from New York City, where the medical college and school of nursing are located, to Buffalo, where the $5,000,-000 Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., is at work on a broad research and development program in aviation and allied fields.
At 53, Mr. Malott becomes head of an institution combining elements of many types of universities. Cornell, founded in 1865, is the land grant college of the state of New York as well as the youngest member of the Ivy league and has privately endowed schools side by side with units of the State University of New York on its campus here.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, a trustee of the university, will speak at the installation luncheon. Representatives of the Student Council, Cornell alumni and the local community, will give speeches of greeting.
It is co-educational with students coming to its 15 colleges and schools from every state in the nation, four territories and 66 foreign countries.
Get Western Civ Appointment Slips
All students enrolled in Western Civilization should pick-up proctorial appointment slips this week between 8:30 a.m. and noon and 1:15 and 5 p.m.
Appointment slips may be picked up at the Western Civilization office in Strong, Annex C. At the time of picking up appointment slips each student will meet with the proctor appointed to answer questions.
This meeting will replace the general meeting formerly held each semester for new students concerning the courses requirements.
William Henry Garlock, engineering senior has been awarded one of the five $300 scholarships awarded on a national basis by the American Society of Tool Engineers.
Engineering Senior Wins Scholarship
His nomination for the scholarship came through the K.U. student chapter of the A.S.T.E., one of the first in the plains area, and was forwarded with the recommendation of Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the school of engineering and architecture. Garlock is stressing tool engineering in his courses at K.U.
Garlock has earned better than a "B" average and is a member of Sigma Tau, honorary engineering society.

Ralph L. Montell, Lawrence, made an expert rating in one of the four classifications of the Missouri Small Bore Rifle Title tourney.
Reds Ask Conference, Charge New Violations
Tokyo—(U.P.)—The Communists charged the United Nations with a new violation of the Kaesong neutral zone tonight instead of accepting the offer of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway to resume cease-fire talks.
A message radioed from the Red commanders at Kaesong to the UN cease fire base near Munsan in Korea alleged that four UN soldiers had invaded the neutral zone in the vicinity of Pan Mun Jom below Kaesong.
On the surface, the Red request presumably meant that a formal written protest would be delivered against the newest alleged neutrality violation.
The Reds asked that UN liaison officers meet their liaison officers at Pan Mum Jom at 9 a.m. Wednesday (9 p.m. Tuesday CDT), and it was announced at once that the allied liaison men would be there.
The Red radio message did not say why the Pan Mun Jom meeting was desired.
We are not clear as to what subject will be discussed at this meeting," the UN cease-fire team at the Munster base said in announcing the new Red protest.
This was the 12th Communist allegation of UN violations of the neutrality of Kaesong. Ridgway rejected 10 of the 11 earlier protests as unfounded.
College hill behind Corbin hall, Dr. L. C. Woodruff related the story of 30 men who climbed the hill Aug. 1, 1854, built a fire, held a town meeting, and decided to erect a university on the spot.
As he related the firebasket story, members of Mortar Board and Sachem, honorary societies for senior women and men, performed the firebasket ceremony.
As Dean Woodruff spoke, his voice echoed back to him and the fire before him leaped higher. The surrounding pines, red sweaters of the nine cheerleaders and faces of approximately 1,200 new students stood out against the orange flame.
Following group singing of the alma mater and the Rock Chalk yell the new students began a wild march across the stadium many of them chanted "Bent, T.C.U."
In the stadium the K.U. band played them to their seats and the lights were turned out. Jim Logan, All Student Council president, opened the brief services by introducing Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy who read the Scriptures from the third chapter of Exodus. Upon this Scripture, in which Moses beheld the burning bush, is based the symbolism of the University seal and the torch-bearing ceremony.
After an interpretation of the University seal by Dean George B. Smith of the School of Education and Chancellor Murphy's explanation of the symbolism of fire a bugle blared and the torch race started.
KANSAS: Increasing cloudiness, slightly warmer tonight and Wednesday. Low tonight 50-55, high Wednesday 80-85.
The oath, used in Greece 2500 years ago, said in part:
WEATHER
Chancellor Murphy then gave the oath of allegiance to the University which the new students repeated after him.
The first runner started with the torch from the cairn east of the illumined campanile. In a few moments the fourth runner brought the torch to the speakers table where it was handed down a line of students to a freshman who kindled the new fire.
"We will never bring disgrace to our University, we will cherish the ideals and traditions of the University, revere and obey the University's laws. We will use our influence to insight a like attitude of those about us...and transmit our University greater, firmer, and stronger than it was transmitted to us."
Once again the new students sang out the "Crimson and the Blue" and the cheerleaders led them in the Rock Chalk yell to end the 27th annual induction of new students.
