The school year of 1946-47 is certain to be the biggest and it has a good chance, of being the best year in the history of the University.
The registrar's office is planning for an enrollment of more than 7,000 students, about double that of the fall semester of 1945. Of this number, some 3,000 will be veterans, according to figures released by the Veterans
Students who stay in Lawrence between semesters will be able to eat, study, and mail letters as usual, for the Union cafeteria, library, and campus post office will be on the job.
Union, Library Will Stay Open
Navy Lowers Its Flag at K.U.
The Union cafeteria will be open between semesters at its regular hours, Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union announced today.
During the summer the cafeteria will open either at 6:30 or 6:45 a.m. in order to accommodate those having 7:30 classes. The other hours will be the same and the cafeteria will be on Sundays, Miss Zipple said.
During final week, the library will be open regular hours, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday, "if our regular student help can keep working," C. M. Baker, director of the library, said today.
Symbolic of the departure of the wartime navy unit from the university campus is this flag-lowering ceremony in front of Frank Strong hall. K.U. sailors have handled the colors during their time here, but permanent navy personnel will do the honors after the end of this semester. (Daily Kansan Staff Photograph by Ford Bohl)
Bureau which bases its calculations on four different nationwide surveys.
Entrance into the University next fall will be based upon a priority system which gives preference to students now in school, veterans and Kansas high school graduates of 1946, a system which will make it difficult for an out-of-state non-veteran to enter K.U.
Housing for this record-breaking influx of students will be a major problem. Most of the students will find homes in fraternity, sorority or independent organized houses and in private rooming houses. Sunflower Village. 15 miles east of Lawrence, will hold several hundred married veteran-students.
The basement of Thayer museum will continue being a home for unmarried men students and the University has arranged for three more housing projects south of the campus. One of these, dubbed the "Sunnyside" addition, will contain 110 housing units; another will consist of three dormitories from the now inactive Parsons ordine plant and which contain in all 450 rooms. Seventy-five faculty members will live in housing units to be erected west of the Sunnyside addition.
Both the 110 and 75 housing units are to be brought here from Abilene, Texas, and are allocations from the Federal Public Housing Authority with headquarters at Fort Worth, Texas. The delivery date is uncertain, but the University has been promised them in time for the fall term.
Orientation week begins Sept. 16 and continues the rest of the week. New students will attend orientation convocations, take the physical, psychological and aptitude examinations, try out for positions in the University band and orchestra and attend various events sponsored by student associations.
It will mean also that students will have to have their money for fees several days earlier than in the past. No fees for laboratory courses will be charged, but the incidental fee will be $40 instead of the customary $25.
