Glad to Move Over
"Boy, just wait 'till things get to normal around here!" Have you ever said it? And have you ever just missed a fast train?
Normalcy? Well, it just went that way. Out the door and to the left . . in the form of student number 4.600. Students 4.601-6.604 appear from the right, and the University has just enjoyed two seconds as its old "pre-war-self."
Although this semester's final enrollment figure is still no more than the worried look on the registrar's face, it may end up in the neighborhood of 5,300. Before the war, K.U.'s record was around 4,600. Enrollment Inst semester—something more than 3,800.
Suddenly we've jumped from too few students to too many students with no inbetween. And we're all jubilant. We love the crowds and the excitement; everything's wonderful.
Things are looking up and out right now. Our prospective is good, so before we lose it in the heat of not being able to get a seat on the bleachers or standing three hours in some line, we make a resolution.
We resolve not to let anything make us forget we're glad about the University.
We're glad that it's suddenly so big.
And we're glad to put ourselves out so it can be that way.
That's speaking for the 3.000 odd of us who have been here all along. This week we don't mind crowding up at the library—and we're not going to mind all semester.
We have a hunch that the old Jayhawkers who are coming back feel the same way. They're so glad to be back, they're willing to understand, to put up with quite a bit this spring. And the new students—the over 750 of them. Well, so far they've been pretty patient.
Now only the teachers and administrators are left—and we excuse them for frothing occasionally. We excuse them because we have a feeling they're really glad about it, too.
And that makes it unanimous. No one minds waiting until the University gets another notch punched in its belt. No one cares about the little inconveniences so long as we have the largest and best student body we've ever had!
A Trick and a Half
It's not unusual for a man to decide that "something should be done about something." It's when he "does something" about it that there is cause to editorialize.
Early in the basketball season, Hilly Stong, navy student from Pasadena, Calif., decided that K.U. students should provide some half-time entertainment—maybe bleacher card tricks.
He drew the plans, consulted with Ku Ku and Jay Jane leaders, directed the numbering and arranging of cards at several Jay Jane meetings, and supervised the first card showing at the Oklahoma game.
The O.U., Jayhawk, and K.U. looked a little ragged, but Stong made plans for smoother card handling and more complicated card tricks for the Kansas State game. If the wildcat head, the tribute to Dr. Allen, and the U.S.N. for graduating navy students are indicative of future card tricks, we are looking forward to the half-time presentation Friday at the Nebraska game.D.S.
Among the objections raised against Eleanor Roosevelt's election to the U.N.O. delegation was the fact that she is too broad-minded about races and nationalities. The senate wisely decided to overlook Mrs. Roosevelt's little weakness.
Although Ann O'Hare McCormick is one of Americas' best known woman journalists, she has only four lines in Who's Who. All of which may or may not ring bells with those students who throw off the Jayhawker's make-up with two inches of minor activities.
★ Letter to the Editor
Parking Rules a Farce Welch Charges
To the Daily Kansas: The parking regulations on the campus set up by the ASC should be abolished. They are an unnecessary expense and a nuisance. What purpose are these regulations? I have heard many excuses:
"Students' cars should be registered with the college." Perhaps so, but a simple, uncomplicated registration would accomplish the same, just as many or more cars would be properly registered as are now.
"The present system gives those who need a car a definite place to park." This excuse is a farce. Parking permits are issued on the slightest pretense to anyone having a car. It is only a matter of who gets there and when, but sometimes needed a car because of a physical disability have been refused permits to park in a satisfactory zone on the excuse that the zone was full.
"Present regulations are necessary because there are more cars than
parking space on the campus." The present regulations actually do nothing to remedy this situation. There is only so much parking space, and it might as well be a race for who gets the space first as a race for who can finagle a permit first.
"The University needs money." This could hardly be true when you consider what one pays to attend this college.
The present regulations only add expense and confusion to both the students and the ASC. Why action to abolish them has not been taken sooner I do not know. Many members of the ASC and isst subordinateers of the ASC and its subordinating these regulations except for the fact that they might be deprived of their office.
The regulations solve no problem. They only create one. Unless the Chancellor has some pet reason for continuing this absurd system, I see no reason why it cannot be done away with immediately.

Rock Chalk Talk
Looking back at final week, we feel the urge to make some profound remarks. Looking back at it a second time, we begin to babble and bore holes in the floor with our head—reciting poetry.

Ode to Finals
Oh, finals come but twice a year. We couldn't take it thrice, I fear. It is a time when teachers lear, And students long for another
Stop waving that net!
And we aren't, or weren't, the only ones. In the Union one morning after a short three-hour quiz, Frank Curry, Battenfeld, stared maliciously at a very innocent hamburger, muttering mutinous things about all English Composition courses. After a while he broke down completely:
"Oh thou tasty little morsel,
Thee on our side."
'On thou tasty little morset,
There you lie, upon your dorsal
Smothered with mustard and
sugar onion.

Eating you will be such funion."

Across the grove at the Delt house, Al Chavaria grabbed his shaving equipment in a big rush before an exam one morning. After undertaking the operation (getting all lathered up) he discovered that his supposed shaving cream was tooth paste. This Ipana look can be overdone.
Tired of seeing people spring forth from classrooms, fling their books in the general direction of the Book Exchange, and cry mildly. "I'm through," we went to a boneyard to get away from it all. But the proprietor told us several people had come in to cash checks and, after endorsing them, had walked woefully out empty-handed.
generally speaking, everyone got pretty mixed up:
In conclusion we can only say that,
An unidentified Shakespearean student dragged in for the final and, taking his seat, declared, "If I don't see you, I'm sorry." For Mottar. Board next semester."
And going home after a particularly rough day, Jean Francisco, Theta pledge, made a wrong turn in Fraser, becoming hopelessly lost in the dead end of the wing. They led her out.
