KU-Navy Clash Next
1-Day Enrollment Is a Success Says Lawson
"The one-day enrollment went off very well, considering necessary shifts in the faculty, and the offering of new courses," Dean Paul B. Lawson said today.
Dean Lawson hopes that the college office will have to make very few changes after this week. Next week only very unusual reasons for changes will be accepted.
This one-day enrollment system may be instituted for the second semesters hereafter, Dean Lawson added, but it could not work for the first semester.
The only difficulty in this semester's enrollment was the reorganization of courses, which necessitated many changes in the schedule after pre-enrollment took place.
Figures on the number who enrolled this semester have not yet been officially announced.
Pan-Hell Discusses Possible Changes In Rushing Rules
Rush rules for next school year were discussed by the Women's Pan-Hellenic members in their meeting at the Delta Gamma sorority house Tuesday night, but no official steps were taken regarding changes under consideration.
Ruth Beeler, Alpha Chi Omega, will continue as acting president of the body until arrangement for an election can be planned. Sue Johnston, the former president, was married during vacation and will not be in school this semester.
Cady Fellowship To Be Established
Ralph Miller, 30-point star of the Wichita game, will lead the Jayhawks against Great Lakes Thurs.
The University of Kansas Endowment Association has received a check for $4,000 from Roy Cross, Kansas City, for the establishment of the H. P. Cady fellowship to be administered by the department of chemistry.
The fellowship is to be established in honor of Dr. H. P. Cady, member of the staff from 1899 to 1940 and chairman of the department since 1916 until his retirement.
Dr. H. Q. Brewster, present chairman of the department, said today that the department of chemistry has full authority to select the research project and the student to assign to it, under the terms of the Cross grant. Dr. Brewster said that projects related to the development of Kansas resources would be given first consideration. The chemistry

Give Away Your Books! Solace For Soldiers
If you have any good books gathering dust on your shelves with which you could bear to part,you might take them to Watson library to be given to the soldiers.
A Victory Book campaign, sponsored by the USO, the Red Cross, and the American Library Association, has as its goal the raising of 10 million books for the use of men in the armed services. Despite facilities provided by the government, the demand for books is exceeded the supply. C. M. B. director of libraries, and vice-chairman of the drive in Lawrence is in charge of receiving books at the University.
Since the men in the service come from all walks of life, nearly any kind
of reading is acceptable. Books of science, preferably those published after 1935, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, literature, and others are especially wanted.
Only 25 books have been received at Watson library so far; these were all given by faculty members. Although the committee realizes that students usually haven't many books to spare, it feels that many students have at least one book which they could give. Any books, from the 25 cent pocket size to handsomely bound library volumes, are welcome. Students who wish to help the soldiers, sailors, and marines can turn in donations at the educational or periodical desks in Watson library.
Jayhawks Face Training Squad Tomorrow Night
By Clint Kanaga
"Phog" Allen's hot-and-cold Kansas Jayhawkers will receive their first acid test of the season when they tangle with the fancy, fast stepping Great Lakes Naval Training Station quintet at 8:45 o'clock tomorrow night in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
The Navy team, boasting six former college All-Americans and seven more conference all-stars, has the phenomenal record of 19 triumphs in 21 starts. Victims of this star-studded aggregation's victory string are such touted teams as Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Butler, St. Joseph's, Nebraska, and Iowa State. The Great Lakes team has lost only to Ohio State and Michigan State.
Comparative Scores Are Even
A glance at comparative scores shows that the Sailors don't outclass the Allen-coached lads on any basis. Kansas won from Nebraska 51-32 and suffered its only defeat of the current season at the hands of Iowa State 45-41. Great Lakes downed Nebraska 50-40 and Iowa State 43-42. Another favorable comparison are results against Iowa U. The Hawkeye fell before Kansas 53-51 last Thursday and lost a week before to Ohio State (38-32 conqueror of Great Lakes) by a count of 54 to 52.
Kansas has chalked up nine wins in ten starts which rates on par with the Navy record. Among the more potent losers to the Jayhawks are Oklahoma, Iowa, and DePaul.
Indiana Stars Return
Leading the Great Lakes scoring attack is Frank Baumholtz. Baumholtz was given All-American his senior year in college when he led Ohio U. to the finals of the New York Invitational Tournament. Less than ten points behind Baumholtz in individual scoring for the Sailors is Bob Calihan, ex-Detroit All-American, Calihan tallied 332 points for Detroit his senior year, setting an all-time high for his school's records.
