Why Continue Enrollment System When Confusion Can Be Avoided?
When other memories of KU have fled your mind, it is doubtful that you will have forgotten the nightmare of registration and enrollment which heralds each semester. The endless lines, the confusion, the hundreds of man hours wasted, the frustration, the haphazard juggling of schedules. You wake up screaming!
We have accepted the present as a necessary evil, but IS it necessary? Is it necessary or right to suffer from the same hangover year after year — a hangover which neither encourages nor promotes responsible thought on the part of students concerning the courses they will take?
A survey of a number of progressive universities as large as or larger than the University of Kansas, has shown that most of them have a system of pre-registration and pre-enrollment.
The University of Chicago for many years has enrolled its members the previous semester and found it most satisfactory.
Ohio State University sends out its scheduled courses and registration cards by mail about the first of August, making it possible for the student to be completely registered and enrolled before he returns to the campus for the fall term.
The University of Colorado executives initiated the pre-enrollment system this spring and were more highly gratified with the results than even they had hoped. More than 80 per cent of the students who could enroll did so before the close of the previous semester.
No mechanical details are included—no questions answered. This is merely to let you know that it is not necessary to go through the hell of Robinson gym even unto the eleventh generation.
A plan of pre-enrollment and registration will take thought and work—plenty of it—, but with the knowledge that our present system is outdated and with the willingness of the faculty, administration, and student body to find a better way, IT CAN BE DONE!
Don't say you ain't been told!

Speaking of red faces, Colleen Jones had one Saturday. Seems she picked up the wrong jar from her dressing table.

We though sun-tans belonged to some branch of the service, but Charles Brodegard, PT 8, seems to be getting them mixed up with white these spring days. This bottled beauty just doesn't compare with nylons, does it?

Museum Receives Skeletons From Dalquest Collection
Salvaged from a house fire in Seattle which ruined nearly all of a large collection of mammals, the skeletons of a wandering shrew and two field mice were received Thursday at Dyche Museum of Natural History from Mr. W. W. Dalquest, Berkeley, Calif.
Dr. E. R. Hall, director of the museum, said that Mr. Dalquest kept his collection in the home of his parents in Seattle. Recently he returned to Seattle, and in the wreckage he found undamaged these three small skeletons which had previously been overlooked. Knowing the nature of the work done at this university, he sent them here.
