Seniors In Four Schools May Pre-Enroll Jan.11 to 16
A twopoint program has been set up to aid enrollment for the spring semester, Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College announced today. Both are optional for students.
1) Seniors, who will complete all requirements in June, 1950, can take advantage of a pre-enrollment period from Wednesday, Jan. 11, through Monday, Jan. 16 if they are students in the following schools: education, pharmacy, journalism, and the College. They will call first at the registar's office with identification card and money to pay fees. Enrollment for these students will be completed during this period.
2) All other students in the College should consult their advisers for a pre-enrollment advisory period in which they can plan a tentative scheduled to follow during the actual enrollment. Junior and senior students should call at the College office after Saturday Jan. 14, for class schedules. After that they will make appointments with their advisers in the department offices of their schools. Freshman and sophomore students should consult the bulletin board opposite the College office to find out at what hours advisers may be seen.
Students are urged to plan a tentative schedule before they go to their advisers. The system is designed to speed up the actual enrollment time and to give students more time to plan their courses and check progress toward requirements.

More than 30 persons attended. The graduate schools of economics, engineering, law, and Spanish were represented.
University Club Hears Malott
If private enterprise has any destiny, it certainly seems to be in Canada Deane W Malott told me 150 students at University club Thursday evening.
During a two-week stay in New Delhi, Chancellor Malott attended the America-India conference, where political, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries were discussed.
"Their knowledge of America and American policies was far greater than our knowledge of India," said Chancellor Malott describing the members of the Indian group at the conference. "This group consisted chiefly of distinguished and intellectual Universities, whose politics was very well-versed in American politics, customs, and inconsistencies.
"It was very interesting to see America through foreign eyes and to try and justify our idiosyncrasies, even in our own minds."
The chancellor and Mrs. Malott had dinner with Prime Minister Pandt Nehru, the sage and philosophic leader of the new Indian state.
Speaker Faie To Show Up But Democrats Carry On
The K.U. Young Democrats met Thursday, even though the speaker didn't show up. Barnes Griffith, vice-president of the Kansas Young Democrats, had accepted an invitation the past month to speak to the group.

Wesley Jarecke, (seated) president of the American Pharmaceutical association, discusses with Charles W. Bilyeu, fine arts junior, the design Bilyeu originated that won a $10 prize in a contest sponsored by the A.P.A. The design will be used on a key to be presented annually to the graduating senior who has done the most during the school year to advance pharmacy as a profession.
The design consists of the Rx on a pestle and mortar. The letters K.U. will be on the key.
Jules Reed, fine arts senior, will make the original key from which the keys will be made.
A committee has been named to make rules to govern the award. Members are Billy Bryant, pharmacy junior; Jamie Estlack, pharmacy senior; Kathleen Mahanna, pharmacy junior; Ralph McClung, pharmacy junior; and John Pistorius, pharmacy senior.
KU Zoologists Say "Cotton Rats" Need Good Meals, Warm Nests To Reproduce
A. B. Leonard, professor of zoology, and Charles Keys, graduate student, have found the way to a rat's heart—through his stomach and a good warm nest.
Zoologists have long had troubles in getting "cotton rats," a type of wild rodent, to reproduce while in captivity. But Professor Leonard and Keys find they can solve the problem by giving the rats a good diet and by keeping them in a room with high temperature.
The two months of ice in the Lawrence area during the past
winter killed most of the "cotton rats" in this part of the state. When the rodents are needed for experimental work in zoology, several days must be spent by zoologists in trapping the animals in their southern habitats. This makes the reproduction of the "Cotton rats" while in captivity all the more desirable.
Truman Decision On Formosa Aid Stuns Nationalists
Taipesh, Formosa, Jan. 6—(U,P)—Chinese Nationalists today received in stunned silence President Truman's statement that the United States will not send American men, arms or military advice to fight the expected Communist invasion of Formosa.
The news proved a heavier blow than British recognition of Communist China, which had been expected for some time.
U. S. official quarters here said that as far as they knew the president's statement would be considered official reply to Chinese Ambassador Wellington Koo's request for American aid.
News of Mr. Truman's policy announcement reached here as hard-pressed Nationalist troops were reported to be girding for a Communist amphibious assault against the Nationalist bastion of Hainan island at the southern tip of the Chinese mainland.
The Communists were reported to have assembled a formidable invasion fleet on the Lichow Peninsula, which juts out toward Hainan, and thousands of Communist troops were reported streaming onto the peninsula in preparation for the attack.
Asked to comment on the American rejection, a foreign office spokesman said:
"It appears as if no comment is needed."
But at the same time officials privately mourned the shattering of the false hopes that had been raised during the past week by unofficial reports from Washington.
They interpreted the American decision as an indication the United States finally had decided with him abandon the Nationally government.
Reliable sources said that official appeals for aid had been made by Nationalist government on an average of 10 per cent since the fall of Nanking last year.
There are 230 American officials and civilians on Formosa. About a month ago officials suggested that they consider the possibility of eventually having to evacuate the island.
Kansas has the greatest diversity of mineral resources of any area of equal size.
