Jam Session---
T. Dorsey Gives Before PACKED House
The Freshman Frolic was literally a 'jam' session. Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra offered a variety of sweet and torrid tunes to a cheering, clapping throng of more than 1,400 students at Friday night's Frolic.
The Memorial Union Ballroom, decked out with college pennants and packed with an enthusiastic audience, afforded a colorful setting for the appearance of the "Sentinelental Gentleman of Swing."
The Frolic, one of the two semi-formal class parties scheduled for the first semester, gave the coeds a chance to show off the newest creations in fall formals. Although they were discorsaged by decree of the MSC, the women still provided plenty of color for the occasion.
Dorsey presented arrangements that would have satisfied every type of dancer, if there had been room to dance. Outstanding performances were given by Buddy Rich, ace drummer; Connie Haines and Frank Sinatra, vocalist; and the Pied Pipers, a harmony quartet.
Every number was greeted with a burst of spontaneous applause. Featured numbers were "Marie," one of Dorsey's famous recordings, and a novelty presentation of "Friendship."
Fewer Students In State Schools
A decrease in enrollment in 8 out of the 12 larger colleges and universities in Kansas has been revealed in a survey of 1940 registration figures. Only four of the larger schools showed an increase over the registration figures of 1939.
Kansas State College gained in students over last year's record enrollment of 4,071, with a new high of 4,090. Pittsburg Teacher's college showed an increase of nine students over last year's figure of 1,530.
General world conditions and a threat of conscription interrupting studies in the middle of a school year, were thought to be the reason for the general enrollment decrease by school authorities.
University of Kansas registration figures went into the red with a decline from 4,613 a year ago to 4,345. The 1939 enrollment was a record.
The 1940 and 1939 enrollment at the 12 schools:
1940 1939
