History-Making Freshmen Throng to University Opening
Here are a few hundred of the more than 1,000 new students now enrolling in the University. This picture was made at the first new-student convocation in Hoch auditorium, when the freshmen and transfers gathered to hear Cancellor Deane W. Malott in a welcoming address. These are the students who swarmed over the campus all last week in a typical pre-war orientation program. It is to them that the Daily Kansan dedicates this special edition, which includes much information valuable to newcomers on the Jayhawk scene.

New Students Survive Orientation Week
Orientation week ended yesterday for more than 1,200 new students, with not a single casualty from psychological examinations, aptitude tests, rushing dates, or watermelon reeds.
Orientation week ended yesterday for more than 1,200 new students.
In the first new-student convocation Tuesday night, Chancellor Deane W. Malott outlined the opportunities and vocational alternatives for new students, advising them "to enter the University with a spirit of adventure and in a relaxed state of mind."
A round table discussion of all the student activities with Dean Henry Werner as moderator, comprised the second convocation on Wednesday night.

Hospital Offers X-Rays as Test For Tuberculosis
X-ray tests that last year helped two students check tuberculosis in an early stage are being given free to all students in Watkins Memorial hospital today and tomorrow. They take only five minutes.
Required for freshmen, the tests also are offered to upper-classmen, who will not have to wait in line.
who will not have The tests are equivalent to the ordinary $10 chest X-rays used in medical centers, Dr. Ralph I. Canutson, director of the student health service, said.
Students may register in the base- ment of the hospital for the tests which will be given between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Jayhawks Bow To Aerial Attack
But sadly enough, touchdowns counted in the K.U.-T.C.U. football game, and the Jayhawks took an 13-0 licking in their Ruppert Stadium game in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday night. K.U. was ahead, 15-10 in first downs.
On first downs, WE won.
The Kansans were light and inexperienced, but their hustle, combined with the superior play of little Dick Bertuzzi, 17-year-old Girard freshman, kept the Texans on their toes most of this season opener.
Once the K.U. eleven threatened seriously—it ended the first half on the T.C.U. 3-yard line. Time ran out and stopped that attack, though.
The visitors, Southwest conference champions, showed great strength in the air, and it was their passing attack which had the K.U. backfield befuddled much of the time. The Javahawkers had only four first-stringers with collegiate football experience, plus a line outweighed about 25 pounds a man, and that left the odds too great.
Leroy Robinson, K.U. captain and fullback, and Dave Schmidt, Jayhawk end, showed up well.

WEATHER
Rain, rain, and it won't go away until tomorrow.
The University, doffing its somewhat shabby wartime dress, blossoms out today in greeting to the history-making class of '49.
Registration for all students began this morning in the basement of Frank Strong hall. Classes will begin Wednesday.
Anticipating the largest enrollment in half a decade. University officials are busy with plans for building expansion-dormitories to accommodate new students and new buildings and additions for new classes.
The 1,200 new students who registered for the orientation period will swell the enrollment above last year's, probably reaching the prewar level by spring. Increased enrollment in the Graduate school also is expected.
Of note in this year's enrollment figures is the increase in the number of men at the University, K.U.'s war years had little effect on the number of women enrolled. Instead of abandoning school for jobs or the service as many men did, most women took advantage of the men's absence to advance in their studies on the accelerated program and graduate into business fields offering wider opportunities than ever before.
About 300 veterans are expected to enroll this semester compared with the 70 last semester.
Last year's enrollment was 2,731,
including servicemen. The record
enrollment was 4,613, in 1939.
Kansan Needs Printers
Additional mechanical help is needed in producing the Daily Kansan. Students with printing experience able to work a few hours daily, may see T. C. Ryther, University Press superintendent, in the Journalism building, preferably before enrolling.
