Hill Greeks Squabble
Fijis Annoy KKG's; Go to Bastille
The police say that they had been requested by Mrs. Charles D. Howe, house mother of the Kappa house, to come up and drive away intruders earlier in the evening and had done so. The second time the request came they resolved to put an end to the foolishness for once and for all, and upon arriving at Gower Place they arrested everyone they could get their hands on.
Lawrence police reached the breaking point shortly after midnight last night and arrested four University students on charges of breaking windows and prying the screen off of the Kappa Kappa Gamma house.
The Kappa freshmen had walked out with the Phi Gam freshmen last night, and the Phi Gam boys had gentlemanly removed a screen from a KKG window in order to get the girls back into the house.
Men from surrounding fraternities were aroused by the sounds of

200 Stags First Midweek Tomorrow
The first Scotch Varsity of the year, the 1941 version of a Midweek, will take place Wednesday night from 7 till 8 in Memorial Union ballroom, Keith Spalding, president of the Student Union Activities Board, said today.
Clayton Harbur's band will play. A stag limit of 200 will be enforced. Admission is free for dates, and 10 cents for stags.
The Scotch Varsities are paid for from the Student Activity Fund, and are the only all-university hours dances on the Hill.
Final enrollment figures released yesterday afternoon by James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, show a total of 4,049 students enrolled for the fall term, a drop of 340 students from last year's total of 4,389.
Largest drop in enrollment occurred in the Graduate School where enrollment fell from 314 to 203. Only school in the University to show an increase was the School of Pharmacy with an enrollment of 80 students as compared to 74 for last year.
The loss in enrollment was almost entirely confined to men as the number of women in the University decreased only 24 while the total decreased by 340.
Enrollment in the nine schools for both the year of 1940 and the year of 1941 is as follows:
1940 1941

A shot in the night. A station wagon speeds around a corner, tires screeching. A wine convertible dashes out a driveway and takes the curve to follow them. Women scream.
Sig Alphs and Chi O's Still Feud
It all happened last night on West Campus road, when the Chi Omega's went trophy-hunting at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, and the Sig Alph's later sought revenge.
About 7:30 last night three Chi O sophomores, chosen because they knew few Sig Alphs, wandered up to the Sig Alph front door. Since the freshmen had walked out, only actives met them.
The kidnapped trophy, which stands 14 inches high and nearly as wide, is a crouched figure of a runner ready for the starters signal, and bears the inscription, "Drake Relays. 1927. Half mile relay."
"We are pledges," the girls purred, giving the name of a different sorority, "and our actives told us we had to serenade you before we could eat dinner tonight." While the girls feigned stage fright, the kind-hearted men urged them to go ahead and sing, and two other Chi O sophomores slipped stealthily to the south Sig Alph side door.
"You won't like what they're making us sing," the front door tric pipeed up and broke into "Red Is the Color," a song of Phi Gamma Delta. That had such an unhappy effect that they switched to "Violet," the Sig Alph song.
The trophy takers were getting nearer their goal.
One of the song trio conveniently lost her pin at this time; and as men ran for matches and flashlight, the two kidnapping Chi Omega's ran for home with their prize.
Soon the other three girls found the lost pin and followed. By this time they had to admit that they were active Chi Omega's. The cat began to peep out of the bag.
The Sig Alph-Chi Omega foud is not new. For some years the two houses have disputed the ownership of a ship model, no win possession of the men. Five years ago the giris
Later last night Sig Alph's shot buckshot at a station-wagon filled with Chi Omega's. When the car came by again, they turned on the hose.

There will be 10 or 12 bands in the contest, Prof. Wiley said. Accompanying him on the trip will be Billy Sears and Bob Bellamy, members of the twirling staff. Bellamy is field major for the University marching band.
Edwards Calls Football Rally For Thursday
The first student rally of the coming football season will take place in front of Robinson gymnasium Thursday morning at 10:20, Roy Edwards, head cheerleader and president of the KuKu's announced today.
The KuKu's, Jay Janes, members of the team, and most of the University band will be on hand to lead the noise and one of the senior footballers, probably Ralph Miller, will be called on to speak. The session will last around ten minutes, and Edwards urges all students, particularly newcomers, to attend.
There will be a second rally at the Santa Fe station at 12:45 Thursday, when the team will leave for Philadelphia to meet the Temple Owls. Part of the band is expected to be on hand to send the team off, and all of the cheerleaders will be there to direct cheering.
Press Club Elects Farneti President
Plans for the high school journalism conference to be held at the university in October were discussed. A committee to head activities for the convention will be appointed soon by the new president.
The Kansas University Press Club, open to all students enrolled in journalism, elected Milo Farneti, college junior, president for the school year and Glee Smith, college junior, secretary at a meeting yesterday afternoon in the journalism building.
K-Club Will Train Frosh, Votes M.S.C.
At the opening meeting of the Men's Student Council held in the Pine room of the Memorial Union Building last night it was voted unanimously to turn the job of training freshmen over to the K-club.
Freshmen will be required to follow all rules set by the K-club and gave the club the right to enforce the rules in any manner that they see fit. In the resolution the council withheld the right to repeal any of the rules set by the club.
Four new members were sworn in to fill the vacancies left on the council by the men who did not return to school. The new members are, Sam Iwig, sophomore Medicine, P. S. G. L., replaced Harold Borgh; Carl Unruh, junior engineering, P. S.G.L., replaced Herbert Hoover; Orville Wright, college senior, Pachacamac, replaced Jay Voran; and Dave Whitney, college senior, Pachacamac, was appointed to fill the vacancy left in the council when Dave Watermulder, college senior. Watermulder automatically became president of the council when Bob McKay was inducted into the army Thursday.
Joe Brown, college senior, Pach-acamac, was elected vice-president of the council by a unanimous vote when the P.S.G.L. failed to nominate anyone to oppose him. Brown, who is also head of the parking committee, reported to the council that Friday would be the last day for students to file applications for licenses. He stressed the fact that due to the space taken by the new Engineering Research Laboratory there would be about 270 less parking spaces in lot 7, thus cutting down the total number of licenses issued.
A resolution was passed that each member of the council sign a letter written to Bob McKay expressing their regrets that he could not be with them in the coming year and wishing him the best of luck in the army.
