Enrollment Holds Priority, Social Functions Suffer
The "Country Club on the Kaw," as some person once termed the University of Kansas, has proven that it can be serious and can be geared in diligent work when a necessity for such concentration presents itself.
Final week isolated all but the extremely extroverted personalities and in the wee hours of the morning hill men and
women were seen confining themselves to the sanctum of their dimly lighted rooms, sipping black coffee, lighting stubs of already smoked cigarettes, and pouring over the pages of notes which were already bleary to their blood-shot eyes.
It is true final week headaches are a thing of the past but no rest awaits the wicked. Enrollment problems have already confronted the men and women on the campus who have been struggling to complete necessary hours for graduation or who are attempting to fill division groups. So occupied are the students with the more serious aspects of college life that all organized social functions have slipped completely out of being.
Classes will start again tomorrow, however, and with such an event will come welcomed organized parties, dinners, initiation, and further pledgings.

Kansas Room Open
★★★
Dance Time
The Kansas room will be accessible from 7 to 8 every night to those who want to dance, except when banquets are scheduled, Newell Jenkins, president of Union Activities, said in announcing plans for the new semester. Nickelodeons will furnish the music and there will be no charge. Informality will be stressed; it is to be a "drop-in" affair, Jenkins added.
Other plans include the showing of sound motion pictures, such as "Back Street," "Algiers" with Hedy Lamarr and Charles Boyer, "East Side of Heaven" with Bing Crosby, and "Last of the Michicans." There will be a nominal fee to help cover expenses. The film probably will be shown in Fraser theater. Glenn Warner, college freshman, is in charge of the movies.
Jenkins also announced the opening Sunday afternoon of the new music room, partitioned off. from the women's lounge in the Memorial Union building. Marian Smith, college senior, is chairman of the music room committee.

Enrollment Brings Headaches;
And Freshmen Lament
Students again sigh with relief as that necessary evil, enrollment, once more sinks into oblivion. The casualties this semester are comparatively few. However, the case of the "Careless Co-ed" is a typical freshman calamity.
Transcripts and Troubles
Careless Co-eed tripped joyfully to Robinson gym at 9:00 this morning, being one of those gifted persons who were blessed with a last name beginning with "S". In her hand she clutched a carefully planned enrollment card, confident that being in the first group, she would breeze right through. She breezed, as far as the second floor. There she asked for her transcript and began waiting patiently. Well, for the first half hour she waited patiently.
After the search for her transcript began, the questions were blasted at her like machine gun bullets. "Are you sure you went to school here last semester?"—"What is your classification?"—"In which school are you registered?"—By the way, what is your telephone number?
The Awful Truth
Despite Carless Coed's wails and assertions that she even made three hours of B- in a particular "snap" course, this was the verdict—"Sorry, Miss, you're not registered in the University of Kansas."
As ten years of youth slipped painfully away from her once happy face, she suddenly glimpsed a suspicious looking white card which
