Plan Huge Pep Club For Frosh
★ Smoker Tuesday Night Will Launch Organization; Ku Kus Sponsor New Move
Plans for the "biggest pep club in the history of the University" have been formulated, Bob Galloway, b40, president of the Ku Ku club announced yesterday. The club will be for freshman men.
In an effort to create 100 per cent enthusiasm, a smoker has been planned by a special committee to be held in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building, at 7:30 Tuesday evening for all freshmen men who are interested in joining the club.
First of Its Kind
Speakers at the smoker will be Coach Gwyn Henry; Henry Werner, advisor of men; Mike Getto, freshman; Michael J. Yonee Ness, president of the K Club.
This will be the first time a club of this kind has ever been formed at the University for the freshmen and it will enable the members to learn about their duties with and to carry on the traditions of the school, Galloway said.
I'm very happy to see the upper classman of the University encourage an activity such as this amount the freshmen man," said Dr. F. C Allen, basketball coach. "This necessary 'school enthusiasm' means much to the student life on the Hill and it is a general tonic to intercollegiate athletics. Each compliments the other."
To Have Insignia
"This is a forward step in the advancement of school spirit in such a manner that should be met with enthusiasm by all." said Galloway.
The duties of the club members will include attending rallies, helping with cord displays, wearing uniforms, and attending all football games.
Members of the freshmen pep club will have their own separate sweaters and will wear an insignia which will distinguish them from the Ku Ku's. The insignia will be approved by the Ku Ku club.
In order to create a more enthusiastic freshman body, the KU Kus have planned to sponsor the freshman club. The new organization however, will remain separate from the senior group.
The new organization rules are as follows:
2. He must pay dues of twenty-five cents for the year.
1. The man must be a freshman on the hill.
five cents for the year.
3. He must buy the official sweater of the organization. Cost of swea-

4. He must attend all football games in a body along with and under the supervision of the Ku Ku club. Also, he must wear a sweater on the campus before all events, and attend all pop rallent
5. He must pledge himself to foster school spirit among his classmates.

Enrollment Low In College Honor Courses
- Only 11 in Reading Classes
But Dean Lawson Anticipates More Interest Next Semester
With only 11 students enrolled in the six departments which offer courses in reading for honors, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College of Liberal Arts, expressed the hope yesterday that an increased interest would be shown next semester.
Dean Lawson said he hoped that enrollments will increase throughout the next several years to such a degree that homc courses will be made an important part of the College curriculum. Indications of increased enrollment for the spring semester are already evident in several of the departments in which the courses are offered.
Six departments of the College offer courses in reading for honors o students of high schoolistic standing. They are the departments of political science, history, sociology, political science, and mathematics.
Six Offer Courses
The department of English first introduced the honors courses almost 10 years ago. Although a decline is indicated this semester with a small enrollment of two, Josephine Burnham, professor of English, is expecting an increase in enrolment for the spring semester.
At present, the department of political science is leading in enrollment with seven students. Prof. Carroll D. Clark of the department provides students that two students are studying for honors in that department.
High Math Requirements
Dr. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the department of mathematics, said that the department of mathematics requires nearly a 3-point grade average for candidacy in reading for honors in that department and that this high standard is partly responsible for the lack of enrollees.
When adopting the program of honors courses a year ago, the College faculty members set minimum requirements for candidacy that compelled the student to have a grade point average of 2.0 in all courses and of 2.5 in those in the major study.
Dean Lawson points out that any student having such a scholastic record is privileged to apply to his major department for enrollment in an honor course. The department concerned may require higher standards for candidacy than the minimum and for that, or other reasons, may refuse enrollment of the student.
Exams at End
Students taking the course usually choose instructors to guide them in their reading and with these instructors work out a plan and a definite objective in their reading. At the conclusion of the course the results are analyzed, tested and a comprehensive examination by the department written or oral, which further tests the progress of the student.
Henry Calls Out Football Squad For 'Extra' Drill
The squad entrained at Des Moines at midnight Friday, after breakfast yesterday in Kansas City and arrived in Lawrence about 9 a.m. The team started practice session while the players breakfasted in the Union station.

Parking regulations on the campus will go into effect tomorrow, Jim Posima, 142, chairman of the parking committee announced yesterday. Students will not be allowed to park on the drive, to ride buses or to leave campus to drive through stop signs, George Snider, the campus cop has warned.
Four parking zones on the campus are available to students and faculty members. Those who don't have licenses may park in the free zones at the east end of the campus by Watkins and Miller hall, or on the plot of ground west of the astronomy building.
The licenses for zone parking may be obtained in Henry Werner's office in the basement of Frank Strong hall. All students and faculty members desiring them should apply immediately.
Proficiency Exam Signing Opens
The examination must be taken by all students in the College who intend to qualify for graduation from the College at the end of the spring semester or after. It is designed to test the ability of the student to use English language properly and students failing it at this time must make a passing grade in one of the remaining examinations this year.
Registration for the proficiency examination in English composition to be held on Oct. 7, begins tomorrow morning at the College office and continues until 5 p.m. Wednesday day.

"Russians seem less depressed-
Reds Relish Russia
Just back from an extended European trip which began June 2, Mr Jejenson described life in European countries as he observed it during the months before the outbreak of war. A German economist high in the ranks of the Nazi party, he said revealed to him in a private conversation the opinion that an election in Germany today would result in the rejection of Hitler by 95 percent of the people.
Evidences of an undercurrent of opposition to the Nazi regime are to be found in Germany today, F.B. Jensen, instructor in economics, asserted at a meeting of the University Club Friday night.
Nazis Would Bump Hitler
Pajama-Clad Men To Stage Annual Night Shirt Show
This sentiment, Mr. Jensen attributed to the fact that the Russian populace is to a great extent composed of persons trained and educated during the life of the U.S.R. In Russia he found evidence of a nationalism as opposed to the anticipated communistic feeling.

After the paddle-armed "flying squadrons" of the K Club have made their rounds, the parade line will form on the Hill at the Memorial Union building.

Attendance at the affair is not required, although the K Club paddle swings attempt to enforce participation of all men by scouring rooming and fraternity houses for all bideouts.

On the eve of the Kansas-Iowa State football game, upward of 1,500 hairy-legged University men will snake dance through Lawrence's third district Friday night in the thirty-second annual Night Shift parade.
Traditionally hold the night before the first Big Six home game the parade will be the opening feature of a pep rally in South Park.
The Creative Leisure commission of the Y.M. and W.Y.C.A., will sponsor a bicycle hike from 2 to 4 p.m. today. The group will meet at Covey's Rent-A-Bike at Fourteenth and Massachusetts streets. A fee of 25 cents will be charged for the rental of bicycles.
Cheerleaders and Ku Kus will work with the athletes in directing the parade. Band music yells, songs and fireworks will add to the color of the parade by the R.O.C.E. officials will mark the progress of the gala march.
One of the oldest and most firmly entrenched traditions of the University, the Night Shift observance began in 1902, an offspring of the "town and gown" which now consisted of a free-for-all between Jayhawker men and Lawrence tough guys. The tradition came its indirect originator when he suggested a celebration of a victory in the season's first game.
So, the enthusiastic collegians converged that night in 1902 on his residence. More than willing to participate, the Chancellor, without dressing, led the throng in a mad dash down Massachusetts. His sleepy smile and demeanor saunthed it suited in the pajama parade that has been held annually since.
