Psychologist Joins Staff
Dr. M. Erik Wright, who holds both doctor of philosophy and doctor of medicine degrees, has been appointed professor of psychology and director of clinical services in that department at the University of Kansas, it was announced.
For two years, 1940-42. he was assistant professor at Ohio State university, then a classification officer and psychologist for the U.S. Maritime Training service. After three years service as a clinical psychologist in the Navy, he became an associate professor at San Jose State college in California.
Dr. Wright will be responsible for developing an enlarged off-campus program of psychological services as part of the university's state services. He also will do some teaching in the department of psychiatry at the K.U. Medical center.
He earned the Ph.D. degree in psychology from the University of Iowa in 1940, and the M.D. degree from the University of California in 1950. Last year he was assistant surgeon in the San Francisco office of the U.S. Public Health service. This summer he became a consultant in psychology to the Veteran's administration.
The City College of New York awarded Dr. Wright the B.S. degree in 1933. For the next three years he was a psychologist for the New York State Training School for Boys and the Creedmoor State hospital. In 1937 he received the M.S. degree from New York State Teachers college, Albany, and continued his studies at Iowa.
He entered the University of California school of medicine in 1947. During the summers he was associate professor at San Francisco State college and the University of California.
Mrs. Beatrice Ann Wright also holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of Iowa, in child and clinical psychology. They have three children, Colleen, 6 years old; Erik Olin, 4; and Woodring, 2. They are temporarily living in Sunnyside.

Enrollment Troubles Ironed Out Free!
College students who have not enrolled or who find conflicts in their schedules should go to the College office as soon as possible, in order to avoid difficulties, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College said today.
College students who wish to change or complete their enrollments can do so at 1:30 p.m. Thursday on the second floor of Strong hall.
Plan Honor System For Music Room
A new "honor system" will be used this year in the Union building music room, James Burgoyne, Student Union activities director, said today.
Students are free to listen to the records or read the books without supervision from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, an attendant will offer planned musical programs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Previously the room had been supervised at all times, but the new system will be used "until such time as the students misuse it," Mr. Burgoyne said.
"We have a wide selection of records and books in the music room," he said. "The new Union management is determined to make the Union a real student 'hangout' and to make new students feel that the Union belongs to the students here at K.U."

Detroit—(U.F.)—Old MacDonald has a cat farm. For that reason he has lost his wife. Circuit Judge Thomas J. Murphy granted Mrs. C. Venetta MacDonald an uncontested divorce from her husband, Harry, because he prefers 22 cats to her.
