University Opens for Third Time Against World War ll Background With Large Enrollment Expected
The University of Kansas is staging its third fall opening under war time conditions this year as the students begin enrolling tomorrow for the Fall six weeks session.
It is much too early to have any figures on registration or enrollment but so far more than 600 new students have registered, which is a slight increase over last year's registration figures at this time, L. C. Woodruff, announced today. Mr. Woodruff thought there would be at least as many enrolling this year as last, but definite information will not be available until early next week. Last year's total enrollment numbered 4025.
Students will enroll tomorrow on the second floor of Robinson gymnasium and must present their registration cards unless they are already enrolled in the 16 weeks session. New freshmen and former students will go in the east door and advanced standing students will enter the north door of the gymnasium. All new students will enroll according to the time listed on their official appointment card and former students will enroll according to the letter schedule listed below.

Identification Will Be Needed At Football Game Tonight
Students who have not yet registered will have no activity books to admit them to the football game between KU and Washburn at 8:30 tonight in Haskell stadium, Earl F. Falkenstein, secretary of the athletic association, announced today. These students will be admitted if they present, at the ticket office, something identifying themselves as recent student of the University, he said.
New students should bring their appointment cards to the gate.
Orientation Keeps Frosh On the Move
For the past week, the busiest people on the Hill have been the new freshmen. They were given their official appointment cards Monday night, and have been going ever since convocations, tours, dances, examinations.
Freshmen were welcomed by Dean Gilbert Ulmer, Advisers Elizabeth Meguiar and Henry Werner, and Chancellor Deane W. Malott at a convocation Monday night. Appointment cards clutched in hand, they received Chancellor Malott's challenge to "cooperate with the inevitable—even if it is an 8:30."
At a second convocation Wednesday given to questions Dr. Ray Wheeler found it necessary, after the discussion on education had been concluded, to announce to the women students that Dr. Calvin Vander-Werf is quite happily married. Some of the written questions received during the question period were concerned with that problem.
Last night the freshmen met by schools and were given instructions regarding enrollment by their deans.
Tuesday was the only night on which there has not been a party for the freshmen. Monday, there was a mixer, Wednesday, an open house, and Thursday, the Union Hour.
Today, the freshmen have been registering with the upperclassman, and tomorrow they will enroll. Then, as Chancellor Malott told them on Monday, they will not belong to the University of Kansas, the University will belong to them.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, there were tours for freshmen through the University's museums and through Watson library. The freshman psychological and aptitude exams were also given on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Four New Courses Added to Curricula
The Schools of Education and Business and departments of psychology, and sociology are offering four new courses, in addition, to those listed in the K.U. catalog. The courses, recently approved by the University Senate, are open for two semester hours of credit to those interested in teaching or in the field of guidance. The courses are Vocational Education; Case Studies, Diagnosis, and Interview; Principles and Technics of Guidance; and Occupation and Informational Guidance.
K.U. Starts 1944 Gridiron Season Tonight When It Meets Washburn; Kick-off at 8:30 in Haskell Stadium
The 1944 version of the Jayhawker football team will come out from under the wraps tonight at Haskell Stadium. Just how far they will come will depend upon the calibre of opposition displayed by the Ichabods who have already played two games and are primed for this contest. The game will get underway at 8:30.
The contest should draw a large crowd, especially since the campus has been flooded by spirited freshmen.
Coach Henry Shenk
The power of the Kansas team is a huge question mark. Coach Henry Shenk shifted the players from one position to another in the practice order to find the best possible combination. In all probability
Health Service To Offer X-Ray
Chest x-rays will be available to all University students and staff members Sept. 18 to 21 when the photofluorographic unit of the State Board of Health is installed in Watkins Memorial hospital.
This tuberculosis survey is for the entire student body, not new students alone, emphasized Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University of Kansas Health service. No charge is made for the service and it takes but a few minutes of time, he said, in stressing the importance of the x-rays to the health of the University.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott urges all staff members and their families to take advantage of the opportunity regardless of the fact that some may have been checked by the unit last spring. New staff members can then meet the Board of Regents requirement and all others can conform to the State Board of Health request for a check of the entire University staff.
Women are to report on Sept. 18, 19, 20; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (except 2:00 to 3:30 Tuesday) and men are to report Sept. 21, during the hours scheduled below.

the backfield will be the strongest part of the Kansas attack, the line being for the most part inexperienced in college play. The fortunes of the Jayhawkers will rise and fall with the following men:
John "Dutch" Schimenz, who hails from Mailwaukee, Wisconsin, and who was tried out for a brief spell at the fullback spot, at right end.
Sam Hunter, 17-year-old freshman from Wadsworth, will receive his collegiate baptism of fire tonight when he fills the starting right tackle slot.
A Pacific Coast pre-draft age boy, Dud R. Day will be the right guard tonight. In the event of injury he will most probably be replaced by Garland W. Cantrell, Neosho, Mo., hopeful.
Keller Starts As Left Guard
A local man, Wayne Hird, has been named by the coaching staff as varsity center. His work has been outstanding in practice sessions held by the team; although Dan Chase from Parsons and a Texan, Cecil M. Langford have all performed well at the center position.
Charlie Keller, a holdover from last year's eleven will display his football wares at left guard, and will have alongside him at left tackle either Wallace T. Rouse, 17-year-old giant, six feet three inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, or Gene Long, al-

Russell L. Wiley, director said that late tryouts can be made through the week September 18 for both organizations.

The orchestra will rehearse for the first time at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in Hoch auditorium. Their regular rehearsal periods will be from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. each Tuesday and from 7:30 until 10 p.m. each Thursday, Mr. Wiley said.
"Id like to extend a special invitation to any of the faculty members, especially any violinist, 'celloist, or string bass player, to come in and talk over playing with the orchestra, and we want to urge all students who play instruments to at least come on in and give us a try," Mr. Wiley stated.
