8,800 Students In At Mid-Year Registrations
An estimated 8.800 students have enrolled for the second semester at K.U. This is an all-time record for the spring term, more than twice the highest pre-war spring figure.
There are 805 new students on the Lawrence campus. This is 57 per cent as many new students as ever entered in the fall of the highest pre-war year.
"We should progress quite nicely in this night class, Miss Woffenduffer. You're the only student I have."
Only 139 fewer students are enrolled than had registered at the beginning of classes last fall when the final figures showed a record high of 9.004. Late enrollments are expected through Saturday and into next week. University officials doubt that there will be as many late registrants as last fall.
The large number of new students, according to Chancellor Deane W. Mallott, has kept enrollment near the all-time peak despite mid-year graduating class of about 200.
Veterans on the Lawrence campus number 5.421. This is a drop of 135 from the figure recorded on the first day of classes last fall: Veterans alone exceed by more than 200 the highest previous spring semester enrollment.
Malott, Nichols Explain Budget To Senate
By Bibler
Appearing before the ways and means committee of the state senate Thursday, Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, explained the basis for the proposed $6,355,600 University budget for the next two years

Approval for these appropriations has been granted by the board of regerts, and the bill is now being considered by the legislature.
The only construction costs included in this bill are $100,000 for a new boiler and $202,200 for a turbine for the University power plant. The rest of the budget will be spent for operating and maintenance costs. A separate bill for building construction will be introduced in the legislature later.
The medical school at Kansas City has a separate proposed budget of $746,000 from July 1, 1947 to June 30, 1948, and $691,000 from July 1, 1948 to June 30, 1949. The University's budget will be divided as follows: $2,626,700 for the first year and $2,728,900 for the second year.
The governor and the budget director of the state have also recommended to the legislature three additions to the building appropriations already granted by the 1945 legislature. The increases, necessitated by the rising cost of building materials, include $100,000 for the addition to Watson library, $190,000 for the engineering shop building, and $30,000 for the remodeling of Fowler shops to house the journalism department. These will be added to the original amounts, which were $200,000, $100,000 and $150,000 respectively.

Council in a meeting Thursday night in the union that Mr. Quigley had refused to communicate with the Council on three previous occasions by declining to appear before the Council, and by not answering two written queries about the use of deputies in the apprehending of the students and future policy in such matters.
Mr. Quigley said the matter was a dead issue, Norman Jennings, committee member, told A.S.C. members, because one student had been reinstated and the other did not apply for readmission.
"Mr. Quigley's refusal to communicate with the Council is a direct slap in the face to this body," Keith Wilson, College sophomore, asserted.
The second letter, containing five questions, sent to the athletic director will be sent again to Mr. Quigley immediately with the signature of the Council instead of just the committee, John Irwin, president, said.
The third amendment set forth previous action taken by the council which replaced the Jay Jane representative with a Y.M.C.A. representative on the Council.
Jamieson Vaughan, engineering sophomore, was sworn in at the meeting to replace Howard Engleman, former president, who resigned. The resignation of William Spicer was read and accepted.
Earl Falkenstien, Athletic association business manager, explained that no more tickets had been sold than seats, Harmon said, but from some seats the court was not easily seen. This inquiry was made to determine why persons had to sit in the aisles at the basketball rames.
The ticket price increase for basketball games was necessitated, Harmon continued, because revenue usually collected from season tickets was not available under the present seating system.
The one tabled will be removed from consideration until voted otherwise.
Bruce Bathurst pointed out that the recent athletic department ruling that no one could hire his seat at a game with the assurance that it would be saved was effective only during the halftime.
Three amendments to A.S.C. bills passed the council and one was tabled.
The committee to investigate the University racial problem was given the power to investigate the Big Six racial policy. Persons who volunteered to serve on the committee are George Caldwell, Everett Bell, Emily Stacy, Marjorie Burtscher, Bath-hurst, and Harmon.

The only member absent from the
meeting was Elaine Thalman.
