Nation's Enrollment Lower This Year; K.U. Follows Trend
Despite an enrollment of 2400 veterans in the nation's universities and colleges, the total enrollment throughout the country this year has decreased one-third, Omar W. Clark, assistant administrator of the nation's Veteran's Administration, has announced. This decline is a result of the curtailment of Army and Navy trainees.
The University of Kansas had its peak year in 1839 with an enrollment of 4613. This year 2731 students are enrolled. This includes 1589 women, 583 civilian men, 127 Army trainees, and 432 Naval trainees, according to L. C. Woodruff, registrar. Sixty veterans are now attending the University.
Mr. Clark predicts that after the war, 650,000 will be "candidates for full-time education of the higher levels." He bases the statement upon statistics on age and educational qualification of armed forces personnel and upon studies of post-war plans of a sample group of 10,000 servicemen.
The greatest load for colleges and universities will come about a year after the defeat of Germany and Japan, Mr. Clark believes, and warns that veterans will arrive during a period of several years.
Schools having the greatest enrollments this year are the University of California with 15,261 and New York university with 10,218.
Representatives from Loyola University's night school have been elected to the student council for the first time.

Elements Play Tricks, Spoil Pix
"Come sleet, come snow, come driving rain—"
And two ambitious students of news photography guarantee that they all come, especially when there is an assignment to be gotten in by an afternoon class. But the show must go on.
It all started because the department of journalism uses a graflex camera. The graflex, it seems, is used by all the best people. Used, that is, after a good deal of intensive study on what to do with "at least half-a-hundred" knobs and gadgets, guaranteed to produce perfect pictures.
This is what didn't happen to the first bunch of pictures.
Students Start Trek
So two determined students of news photography resolved to get an early start Wednesday morning, in plenty of time for class Wednesday afternoon.
Pictures are absolutely essential to a class in news photography. In fact, photography is built around the phenomena of the picture. The professor had called for pictures, and—it rained
It rained.
Two discouraged students of news photography, with a do-or-die expression, barged boldly into the elements, carrying one graffix camera—carried it and prayed they wouldn't slip on the ice. Fire Experts
Visis Fire Escapes
They visited fire escapes which they are sure 90 per cent of University students don't know exist, taking pictures of every building in sight. They trudged to the top of Fraser hall, and remained for an hour, afraid to return on the icy steps. And they got soaked.
Finally, just in time for class, two bedraggled students of news photography returned to the "shack", to shake the water off—the camera first, of course.
The happy ending came during class. Two bewildered students of news photography found that the pictures actually came out pretty well—if you squint a little.
Seniors to Make Picture Appointments
Appointment for senior pictures can be made this month at the Jayhawker office in the Union building, Mary Morrill, editor, announced today.
The senior pictures will be taken the first part of February, in order that the pictures of seniors graduating in March can be included in the June issue, Miss Morrill explained.
Pictures of the November graduates of the University will also be included in the senior issue of the Jayhawker, Miss Morrill added.
The pictures will be taken by H. C. Hammerli of the Christopher Studio in Topeka, according to Miss Morrill.
