New Students Are Still Busy
New students, already getting acquainted with appointment cards, aptitude tests, physical examinations, and perhaps an occasional qualm of homesickness, still have a busy time ahead.
Coming up are musical try-outs, free movies, interviews, conferences, conducted tours, and a football game. But from now on the newcomers will be joined by the "old timers," men and women returning to K.U. for a preschool round of registration and enrollment.
Except for being even more crowded than last spring, the University services and rules of conduct remain pretty much the same. A parking permit is harder to wangle than ever before, and the housing situation in Lawrence is tighter than ever.
Women still have to be placed under lock and key during the dangerous dark hours. Smoking regulations remain in effect, the Memorial Union being the only safe spot from top to bottom. Watson library's opening hour will be 8 a.m. six days a week, and after Sept. 29 librarians will accommodate Sunday scholars from 2 to 10.
Jobs are available for those who want to work, either at the women's employment bureau or at Dean Henry Werner's office.
There's a team or club or fraternity for every handful of students with a common interest, whether it's shooting off a rifle or a mouth. By the way, several political parties are represented, both local and national.
Graduate Writes Study
Edward S. Mason, a graduate of the University in 1919 and a member of the faculty at Harvard since 1923, is the author of "Controlling World Trade" which has just been published as the 13th in a series of studies for the Committee for Economic Development.
Fraternities Set Pledge Record
With an all-time high of 457 men pledged, the 16 fraternities at the University rang down the curtain on rush week Wednesday afternoon.
The number is 50 per cent more than were pledged in the largest pre-war year. Sigma Phi Epsilon led the list by pledging an even 50 men.
By remodeling their houses and obtaining annex many fraternities expanded their pre-war capacities and were able to take abnormally large pledge classes.
The complete pledge list is included on page three.
The current campus guessing game—How Many Students Will There Be?—has forced the University housing office to forget the still-uncompleted K.U. housing projects for the time being.
Uncompleted Housing Forgotten In Rush
"When we find out how many students are coming to school, how many are married, and the size of their families, then we'll begin to figure out how many persons we can fit into the emergency projects when completed." Irvin Youngberg, housing director, said today.
The projects, all under construction, are the Sunnyside dormitories south of the Hill, the apartments beneath Memorial stadium, and the large dormitory west of the stadium.
Smoking Here Only
By resolution of the A.S.C. smoking in University buildings is to be restricted to the areas listed below. The Memorial Union Building is not included in the ban.
Journalism Building. press rooms.
Green Hall, First Floor Hall only

Students Will See Four Cage Games, Wear Sun Glasses At The Stadium
The sunny side of the stadium is the student side of the stadium for this year's football games.
Grid Fans To Get East Side Seats
Under a plan announced by the athletic department, the entire east side of the stadium, from goal line to goal line, has been reserved to give every student a sideline seat and to provide a compact cheering section.
During the war years, the students sat on the shady side of the stadium, from the 50-yard line to the north goal. This arrangement was abandoned this year because the 8,000 or so students expected here would have filled seats far around the curve into the end zone.
"The athletic department felt that the students would want a more satisfactory seating arrangement," authorities explained, "and we feel this new method will give them a better view of the game, a better cheering section, and a better opportunity for card displays."
He's In; He's Out (But Still He's In)
One reason why there are still vacancies at Sunflower;
A young man, a non-veteran, moved bag and baggage out to the emergency dorms Sunday, straightened up his room and began getting ready for the school year. $ ^{4} $
Couples Will Get SunflowerRooms
On Monday, he got a call from his parents—his draft notice had arrived.
Because of an abundance of rooms for single students at Sunflower dormitories and an acute shortage of apartments for families, some of the Sunflower buildings are being set aside for married couples.
Irvin Youngberg, housing director, estimated that there would be 300 less single men at Sunflower than had been expected. He attributed the reduction mainly to the location of more rooms in Lawrence than anticipated.
William Kollender, head of the Sunflower dormitories, announced that at least two buildings, each housing 25 couples without children, would be reserved. Facilities are the same as for single men.
First class mail for the dormitories will be picked up at the Sunflower Village post office by a member of Mr. Kollender's staff. Students may call at any time, day or night, for letters in Jayhawker hall (Dormitory 10), he said. All mail other than first class will be left in the Village office.
"The spirit of these men out here is even better than we had expected," Mr. Kolllender said. "The men are taking the whole thing in darned good stride."
Newell Is State Secretary
Charles B. Newell, business manager of the University School of Medicine at Kansas City, has been appointed secretary of the Kansas Hospital Association.
Basketball Tickets To Be Rationed
You'll see only four home basketball games this year on a student ticket, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Students used to see all the home cage contests, but since there are nearly double the number of students now over pre-war years, the Hoch auditorium capacity simply won't accommodate everyone.
The student activity ticket you'll buy when you register has in it a ticket exchangeable for a priority on a basketball seat.
You'll pay $1.75, plus state and federal taxes, to see half the home schedule—four games. How the division will be made, so that each student will see his share of the better games, hasn't been disclosed yet.
Non-student basketball fans will be accommodated only after all student priority tickets have been sold, the athletic department said.
Activity book tickets must be exchanged at the Robinson gymnasium athletic office during the week beginning Nov. 13 for actual game tickets. The first home basketball game scheduled for Dec. 11, against daho.
500 Physical Examinations Are Being Given Each Day
Physical examinations of new students began Wednesday and are continuing at the rate of 500 a day.
The examinations will continue for seven days, excluding Sunday. K.U football men and University High school students were examined Monday and Tuesday.
