Little Man On Campus
"As rush captain, Slauson, I'm disappointed in you! As you well know, my brother was a Sigma Phi Nothing and I was Sigma Phi seems very strange that you didn't get my wires and letters and especially that the pledge class is filled on the first hour of the first day of rushing—Furthermore—"
175 Men Work This Fall On $400,000 Improvements
A story in Monday's University Daily Kansan erroneously declared that "veteran enrollment is 4,790,646 less than last year's figure." This is not correct.
Students are not the only ones who will be busy on the campus this fall.
Fair-Sized Army Goes Elsewhere
Veteran enrollment at the University could be somewhat less, fewer than, not so much, less than, lower than, and even smaller, but it could never be 4,790,646 less than.
The $400,000 will be divided among eight large projects. A $25,-000 appropriation for air-conditioning Frank Strong auditorium will be one of the most welcomed by students.
Approximately 175 men employed by the school plus many more from construction companies have been given the go-ahead signal on campus improvements to the tune of over $400,000, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
stations.
Other projects include $50,000 for the paving of several campus streets, a $100,000 contract for installation of a new boiler, a $200,000 contract for a steam turbine in the power plant, and a $35,000 cooling tower for the power plant.
Projects now underway include installation of an oil storage tank and construction of a copper deck to accommodate a loud auditorium each costing $12,000.
Partial reroofing of Frank Strong hall will cost $14,000. Installation of rubber tile in the basement and first floor of the Museum of Natural History will cost $4,000.
A $6,000 sprinkler system for the Watson library and a $5,000 alteration project for the panorama in Dyche museum will be started soon.
Still on the planning board are plans for a new public health laboratory to be constructed north of the quonset garage on 16th street. The 150 by 25 foot building will be a former army structure.
Two major projects still under construction are the $200,000 engineering building and the $300,000 Watson library a lititions, both of which are expected to be completed shortly after Jan. 1.
Scholarship awards of $200 each, have been given to Mina McKelvy, senior, and Marilyn Lindberg, junior, in the School of Pharmacy, Dean J. Allen Reese announced today.
The awards were given by the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education and consist of $100 per semester for each student
Paris, Sept. 21—(UP)—Australian Foreign Minister Herbert V. Evatt was elected president of the United Nations General Assembly today in a runoff ballot with Foreign Minister Juan Bramuglia of Argentina.
$200 Awards Go To Two Students
UN Picks Evatt As Assembly Head
The final vote was 31 to 20 with one absent and six invalid ballots. The voting was secret, but obviously the Russian bloc of six countries refused to vote for either of the candidates who went into the runoff.
Hamlet Trials To Be Wednesday
Tryouts for the first University players production of the 1948 tall semester will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Little Theater of Green hall.
The play will be "Hamlet." Allen Crafton, speech professor, will direct the play. About 26 parts are open. All students are eligible.
Regulations in regard to parking in the rear of Frank Strong hall and Bailey laboratories after 4:30 p.m. were clarified today by Robert Corwin, traffic officer.
Corwin Accents Traffic Rules
Mr. Corwin said that no parking will be permitted in those areas at any time under new University rules. All other areas not subject to city regulations will be open after 4:30.
He also said that he is attempting to eliminate the use of the pedestrian crossing on the west side of the Mississippi-Jayhawk drive intersection during rush hours because of the large amount of traffic turning west from Mississippi onto Jayhawk drive. He urged students to use either the east crosswalk or the crosswalks on other parts of the street.
In addition to the new 30-minute limit on parking on Jayhawk drive, certain areas have been painted white. No parking is allowed in such areas between 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m., according to Mr. Corwin. Violations of this regulation will come under the jurisdiction of the city police court, he warned.
Although traffic was quite heavy Saturday, Mr. Corwin commended the students and visitors for their cooperation, adding, "I hope that we have as good cooperation in the future games as we had at the TCU game. If so, we will be able to clear cars in and out of the area at a faster rate."
Humanities Begin Oct.12
The first Humanities lectures for the 1948-49 series will be given Oct. 12, Mr. L. R. Lind, chairman of the Humanities committee announced today.
The lectures are free to the public and will begin at 8 p.m. The lectures and schedule are as follows:
Alexander Meiklejohn, philosopher and educator, Oct. 12; William Hardy Alexander, chairman of the department of classics, University of California, Nov. 16, Frasen theater.

Represented KU At Canadian Meeting
Herbert L. Ketterman, president of Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship, spent the month of August in Canada as a representative of the K.U. chapter at an international meeting of Inter-Varsity leaders.
The meeting was held on Fairview island in Lake of the Bays, Ontario. Christian leaders and scholars from the United states, Canada, England and Australia spoke at the month long meeting.
New Students Vow Allegiance To KU Traditions
According to statistics compiled by the Journal of the American Medical association, attendance at refresher courses for physicians sponsored by the University School of Medicine ranked fourth in the nation during the past year.
KU Courses Rank Fourth
Between 1,600 and 1,800 new students repeated the oath of allegiance to the University Monday night at the 23rd annual New Student Induction. Chancellor Deane W. Malott led the students in the oath and explained their obligations to the University.
At a preliminary service on North College hill behind Corbin hall, Prof. F. E. Melvin of the history department related the story of the first immigrant party to this territory who camped on that hill on August 1, 1854, and of their decision to build the University there During his talk, members of the Mortar Board and Sachem, honorary senior societies, conducted the Firebasket ceremony.
The new students marched in groups of four to the stadium at the close of the Firebasket ceremony. They were directed by cheerleaders, and members of the Ku Ku's and the K-club.
Patrick Thiessen, president of the All Student Council, presided at the stadium. Dr. E. B. Stouffer, dean of the University, gave the interpretation of the seal. After Chancellor Malott explained the symbolism of the fire, the torch was carried in relays from the Rock Chalk cairn to the speaker's platform in the stadium. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, received the torch at the platform and passed it down a line of students to a freshman who lighted the altar fire.
After the new students had taken the oath of allegiance Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts led the students in the Alma Mater. The Rock Chalk chant closed the ceremonies.
Class representatives who participated in the ceremony were Edward Colburn and Nancy Goehring of the graduate school, Marvin Small and Betty Mae Brooker, senior class; Forrest Griffith and Mary Helen Baker, junior class; Marilyn Smith and Douglas Padock, sophomore class; and Judy Veatch and Tony Bontz, freshman class.
The 13 courses, varying in length from three to five days, attracted 638 doctors, H. G. Ingham, director of the postgraduate medical program for University Extension, said. After elimination of duplicates, the University ranked sixth in the nation in medical courses of all types. Starting Sept. 23, a continuation course in physical pathology will meet for 12 weeks at the University Medical center in Kansas City. The class, with a limited enrollment of 20, will be the first offering of the year in the postgraduate medical program.
The first refresher course to be offered will be in Physical Medicine and will start Nov. 1. Therapeutics and Geriatrics will be offered starting Nov. 15. The course will deal with the treatment of diseases and the diseases of old age.
