College To Give Enrollment Aid To All Students
All students in the College are to have a pre-enrollment advising period Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Jan. 17, 18, and 19.
"Graduating seniors will complete their enrollment in this period, and the undergraduates may have their schedules planned and ready for the advisor's signature when they enroll at the regular period." Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, said today.
The early registration and payment of fees for the graduating seniors will begin Friday in the registrar's office and in the business office.
This is the procedure for graduating seniors:
1. Go to the registrar's office for 'clearness' papers.
2. Pay fees at the business office.
3. Get transcripts and make appointment with the senior 'checker' at the College office. Appointments with the senior 'checker' may be made Friday or Saturday.
4. Go to the departmental advisor with the transcript for conference.
5. Go back to the College office at appointment time to see the senior 'checker.'
The program for the non-graduating seniors and the juniors consists only in picking up the transcript at the College office and going to the departmental advisor for a conference.
Freshmen and sophomores will find the names of their advisors posted on the College bulletin board across the hall from the College office in Frank Strong. All the materials the freshmen and sophomores will need for their advising period will be in the hands of their advisors.
Dean Ulmer said that students whose time to enroll comes early in the regular enrollment period may plan their schedules in the pre-enrollment advising period with little fear of change. However, those who will enrol late in the regular enrolling period should have a second choice schedule prepared in the event that some of the classes are full.
Army Reserve Unit Authorized Here
A research and development unit for army reserve officers has been authorized for the Lawrence area, Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, said today.
Dean Smith, a lieutenant colone in the army reserve, has been appointed commanding officer of the unit designated as the 5006th training sub-group. The executive officer will be Lt Col. Arthur Inman, an employee of the University Research foundation.
The unit will hold its first meeting at 7 p.m. today in 103 Fraser ball. All assigned officers are expected to be present. Other reserve officers of the army who are interested in obtaining information about the unit or assignment to it are asked to attend.
Eligible officers are those who have or are now engaged in some research activity. Dean Smith said many faculty and graduate students should fall in that category.

Mo-Kan Area Still In A Glaze From Ice. Sleet
the sun today broke through the bank of clouds from which freezing rain had poured onto southeastern Kansas but the work of restoring utility services was hampered by the heavy ice and temperatures still below the freezing point.
No long distance circuits had been restored at hard-hit Coffeyville today. About 70 per cent of Coffeyville was without electricity and many "hot" wires were dangling across the streets.
By UNITED PRESS
Electric power was restored to the Coffeyville water pumping plant last night, ending the threat of a water shortage in the ice-bound community, but schools remained closed and several of Coffeyville's larger industries were not operating.
The great Midwest grain and livestock belt continued to dig and chop its way out of a crippling cover of ice and sleet, and damage from winter's worst blow so far already had run well over the million dollar figure.
The forecast for Missouri and Kansas today was for cloudy skies. Eastern Missouri was expected to get another layer of ice from a freezing drizzle, but no precipitation was forecast for the remainder of the state.
The storm which began Sunday left a tangle of broken power lines and telephone wires, with Missouri reporting the heaviest losses in power equipment.
Highway traffic was reduced to a minimum generally throughout the area, but road crews finally were beginning to make real progress in most sections today.
Old Man Winter Lands Twelve Students In Hospital
In Kansas City, an ice load caved in a 100 by 150-foot roof section at the General Motors plant in the Fairfax district, but there were no casualties. The crash occurred shortly after working hours yesterday.
There were reports in all but the southeastern tip of Missouri of icebound, blacked-out communities, as some large as Joplin.
Ninety per cent of the trees in Pittsburgh, Kan., suffered from a five-inch coating of ice. More than 500 telephone circuits were knocked out.
A broken leg headed the list of injuries from falls on ice which were treated Monday at Watkins Memorial hospital. Six of the 12 persons treated were admitted as bed patients.
Chest X-Ray Reports Ready
Reports on all the chest x-rays given during physical examinations in September, are available at Watkins hospital. Students who wish to know the results of their x-rays should go to the hospital to receive them.
Those treated and released are Freida L. Sahm, College freshman, face laceration; Gerald H. Chapin, College sophomore, face abrasions; Morris F. Beckey, engineering junior, hand lacerations; Robert E. Near, College sophomore, face lacerations; Richard P. Metz, engineering freshman, elbow injury; and Mary Jean
Most seriously injured is Thomas C. White, College junior, who fractured his leg while sliding on ice at Potter lake. Others admitted as patients are Lewin Wasser, College $ \textcircled{*} $
Most seriously injured is Thomas tured his leg while sliding on ice patients are Lewin Wasser, College sophomore, bruised leg; Marylln Sue Jones, College sophomore, bruised leg; Mavis M. Browning, College freshman, back injury; Kathryn A. Peters, fine arts freshman, leg injury; and John H. Campbell, engineering junior, injured thumb.
Oliver, fine arts junior, leg bruises. Eight of those treated were admitted after 5 p.m. Five of these were kept in the hospital for further treatment.
"Most of the injuries resulted from enthusiastic but misguided attempts to return to childhood, said Dr. Canuteson, director of health service. "Coating on their feet and home made devices have caused most of the student injuries."
"I could highly recommend that an hour be set aside for supervised playground activities for University students," Dr. Canuteson added with a smile.

George Docking, Lawrence banker and business man, will discuss "Business Ethics" with the Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity, at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the recreation room of the Union.

Carlson Wants Liquor Control By City Option
Topeka, Jan. 12 — (UP) — Gov. Frank Carlson asked the newly-convened Kansas legislature today to speed through local option liquor legislation to close out a 68-year prohibition chapter in state history.
He recommended prompt action to bring about package liquor sales through privately - operated stores within municipal limits—and only in cities that want liquor.
The governor's liquor stand highlighted his personally - delivered message to a joint session of the Kansas house and senate in the redecorated, high-ceilinged representative hall.
Before full galleries and intently listening legislators, Kansas' 30th chief executive said the new session has an "opportunity for service unmatched in the history of Kansas.

In all, Gov. Carlson placed a monumental pile of work for the legislature to peck away at through the winter and into the spring.
Houses Have Heat Worry
Furnace trouble in organized houses Tuesday ranged all the way from complete stoker breakdowns and no heat to a broken thermosat and too much heat.
The servicemen of a coal company are still working on the furnace at the Alpha Omicron Pi house where the stoker retort had been pushed off the furnace bowl by a clinker. Members of the house were huddled around any available gas fires or wrapped in blankets.
Heat was restored to the Phi Kappa Sigma house about 1 o'clock this morning after their stoker broke down. A different stoker was installed but members spent Tuesday grouped around gas fires, shivering.
Ricker hali on the other hand, reported a broken thermostat which managed to heat up the house too much.
Other houses reporting minor breakdowns in their stokers were Phi Kappa Psi, where a fan belt was out of order; Sterling hall, where the hopper was fuming; and Alpha Kappa Lambda, where the stoker was working improperly.
