Z-229
★ No Figures Yet Available On Registration Totals; a Rush Now Will Hit Fee Paying Line
With the completion of registration and enrollment, more than 4,500 students today were preparing for their final semester and the second semester tomorrow morning.
Robinson gymnastics, for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the regular enrollment places for other schools, will be open Saturday morning from 9 to late enrollment and re-enrollment.
Although no figures are available on enrollment totals, University officials are not expecting any decline in the figures for the first semester. The Nov. 1 enrollment was 4,575 as compared to 4,586 in November, 1937. The 1937 figure was an all-time high.
Register in Frank Strong
Activity in the fee paying line at the office of Karl Klooz, bursar, speeded up today after a slow opening yesterday. Students who laid their money on the line noticed the continuance of the policy started last fall of placing the identification picture on activity books.
Registration of new students has been progressing in Frank Strong hall all while students enrolled in designated places for their various studies will be available and enrollment will be available until after March 1.
Officials made one change in the book, placing the picture on the outside edge. The reason for the change was that in gluing pictures to the book, heavy pressure was applied to the staples holding the books which caused many to come anort.
Enrollment Highlights
Enrollment highlights: Observers heard considerable grumbling about enrollment procedure in Robinson gym. . . Most frequent comments were on the "high-hardened" of student assistants. . . The story has two sides, however. . . When you have lots of time and more patience sometime try enrolling 4,500 students and see how long your good nature lasts. . . It's not as easy as it looks. . .
Did anybody notice if the Standard Life was giving out its free blotters and pencils in the registration line? . . . One nosy individual remarked that he was glad this high wind got in its big lips before the chemistry lab started to inform reporters the Campus News team reporters, starting this morning for news, were greeted with the general comment. . . "No. News. Enrollment". This is the season when profs who change text books become publicills No's 1 to 10 inclusive. . See you in class, butch. . .
Student "thugs" will still be with us this semester . . . New pictures on the activity books are just prints of the shots taken last fall, so there'll be no improving that "convict-like" appearance for the veterans. . . The Watson business treasury did a land-office business yesterday when many of the forgeful were reminded of a little "obligation to the University" and rushed to the library to pay up before enrolling.
WEATHER
Kansas: Generally fair, colder tonight with moderate cold wave Wednesday and in west and north central protons tonight.
ON THE SHIN
A book's value lies not in its resale!—Robertson.
by jimmy robertson
That pretty little quotation is one I dashed off in an effort to find something suitable for prefacing a sermon-like discussion upon the value of books in the school as students. More briefly, something in which I thought Dean Nelson might find unlimited pleasure and inspiration.
But after listening to the complaints of boys and girls who have just sold their old textbooks to the W.S.G.A. exchange, I find that the re-sale value of a book is approximately one-tenth of its origi-

Crafton's 'Cum Laude' To Depict Campus During 75 Years
NUMBER 87
The executive council met Sunday night and last night to lay plans for the extensive membership campaign and to discuss plans for the national Independent Students' convention which will be held on the campus March 31 and April 1. John Oakson, c40, was elected business manager at last night's meeting.
A ward system, similar to that used by Iowa State College, Oklahoma University, and the University of Illinois, is being prepared. This system is expected to function by promoting athletic competition and arranging contests between different wards. Various wards will also sponsor social functions periodically.
Prof. Allen Crafton's "Cum
Laude," a two hour revue relating
75 years of Campus life, starts a
four night run Feb. 20. Crafton,
professor of speech and dramatic
art, conceived the idea of the play
in Europe last summer and wrote it
on his return to the Hill.
The main social event of the convention will be a semi-formal dance Saturday night, April, featuring a nationally known dance band. Bands which are available at the time are those of Carl "Deacon" Moore, Lou Breeze, Barney Rapp, and Earl "Father" Hines.
Students in the School of Fine Arts, Tau Sigma, dance sorority, and all members of the Dramatic Club take part in the production. Allen Crafton, Dixon, and Rolla Nuckles are in charge of general production. Jane Byrne, instructor in physical education, is in charge of dances; Lucille Wagner, gnr; and Jack Laffer, c'39, direct the music;
The national convention will bring approximately 250 men and women leaders from about forty colleges and universities to the campus. These leaders are active members in their local organizations, and will represent all sections of the nation. The convention will also bring men of national fame as speakers and leaders of discussion.
The LSA. is planning a scheme which will allow members of the student body to make their own selection for the big dance. Arrange- mented, worked out and nounced later, when ballot boxes can be provided.
The third in a series of radio speech contests sponsored by the department of speech and dramatics in cooperation with the Men's Student Forum Board will be given over WREN Thursday night at 8 o'clock. A cash prize of five dollars will be awarded the winner.
Five men will speak five minutes each on a topic concerning the American political situation. The winner, who will be announced on the evening of June 23, is mined by a combined vote of the radio audience and the judges.
Speech Contests Continue
The show, a satirical musical comedy, is presented in two acts with 22 scenes. The first act takes the history of the University from the singing Alma Mater, in 1856, to the University of the present; the second act offers a tour of today's Campus and ends with a picture of the University at its 100th anniversary.
"All men interested in this contest are asked to be present at the time to try out." Prof. E. C. B. Chuhler speech department, said yesterday.
Preliminary try outs to determine the speakers will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Little Theater of Green hall.
NOTICE
Mrs. Jessica Crafton is handling the costumes.
The psychological examination for new students will be given Friday, Feb. 10, at 2 a.m. in Fraser theater. Students with classes at that time should ask to be excused from class, since this is the only time the test will be administered to the spring semester. Students who failed to take the examination last semester for any reason must take it at this time.
A. H. TURNEY, Examiner.
It took two and one-half weeks to build the 8,000 feet of scenery, the most ever used in a Campus production. Seventeen sets of ropes are employed in the manipulation of scenery. The speed of the produc- ton will necessitate a large stage stuff.
The second annual exhibit of finger paintings by Schiller Shore will soon be made public in the Kan-den, according to Mr. Shore himself.

John Gunther Has Visited All Europe Save Portugal
By Steve Jones 'C99
A comprehensive survey of the European political situation will be given by John Gunther, international news authority and lecturer, at 8:20 a.m. Thursday in Hoch auditorium. Mr. Gunther's topic will be "Inside Europe Now-What 1939 Will Bring."
Gunther has frequently brought the review up to date with numerous additions, until the edition has reached 250,000 words, Harpers' magazine calls it "almost a loose-leaf epigraphia of contemporary Eutropia."
For 12 years Gunther was international correspondent for the Chicago Daily News. In 1936 he retired to do writing, and during that year published "Inside Europe," a book which gained world-wide recognition, being printed in 12 languages and accepted as best-read American book in England since those of Mark Twain.
Walter Durancy, well-known foreign newspaperman, enthusiastically hails "Inside Europe" as the "best opaque ops that anybody has ever written."
Chicago reporter, who has been in every country in Europe save Portugal, left for Asia in 1957. After conditions there, he returned to the United States to write "Outside Asia" which was published only last month.
Gunther, now 39 years old, worked his way through Chicago University and was graduated with honors in English in 1922; and, although invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic organization, his feelings toward fraternities were such that he refused the award. After leaving college, he worked his way across the Atlantic on a cattleboat, and later returned to become a cub reporter on the Daily News.
The author's lecture at the University is one of a series he is giving at cities and colleges throughout the country. Students will be admitted Thursday night with identification books.
Gunther is married and has one son, nine years old. Although he claims allegiance to no political party, his strong inclinations towards the nationalism and without restraint upon the political theories of foreign countries.
'On With War Say Loyalists; No To Franco
- Defenders in Spain Will Continue Civil Conflict by Removing Government to Valentia
London, Feb. 7—(UP)—The Spanish loyalist government today defied Generalissimo Francisco Franco's demands for unconditional surrender tonight and declared that it would move to Valentia to continue the civil war in Spain. Although Catalonia definitely has been lost, the Spanish embassy in London issued a statement saying Premier Juan Negrin and his general would fly to Valentia and continue resistance with the 300,000 troops in central Spain, led by General Jose Miaja defender of Madrid. The Embassy statement coincided with efforts of Britain and France to induce them to cease the struggle.
The embassy said that the government is planning to settle the refugee problems and decide whether to send refugees to Valencia. Negrin will leave one or two ministers in France to deal with the refugee situation.
Three Are Named To Army Reserve
Three students who have completed R.O.T.C. training at the University have received appointments in the United States Army reserve corps, Col. Katr. F. Baldwin, proxies of Gen. John R. McCain and tacets, announced yesterday.
The appointees are Charles Hanna *ore*, 4e, and Norman F. Koenig, 138, who are both commissioned second lieutenants in the infantry. Joseph R., Jr., 638, second lieutenant in the chemical warfare service.
Colonel Baldwin also announced that students who did not take R.O.T.C. during the past semester may do so this semester may enroll now.
Information concerning enrollment in R.O.T.C. and the program it offers may be obtained at Baldwin's office in Fowler shops.
President Wants More WPA Funds
Washington, Feb. 7. - (UP)—President Roosevelt today warned congress that an unemployment relief “emergency” exists and recommended immediate consideration of $100,000 for the Works Progress Administration.
In a special message to congress the President protested "in human decency" any whiter reduction of the WPA roll and said that from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 persons might be deprived in the spring.
His estimate of the number of persons to be deprived of aid if congress resisted the plan was based on a survey for each WPA worker employed.
Engineering Professors Plan to Attend Convention
A large number of the members of the School of Engineering and Architecture faculty will attend the thirty-first annual convention of the Kansas Engineering Society in Topeka Feb. 9 and 10, according to Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering.
Five different sections will be represented at the convention. They are: Mechanical, electrical, civil, sanitation, petroleum, and architecture. Professor Hay will be presiding chairman of the mechanical section of the curriculum. T. H. Marshall, associate professor of chemical engineering and D. C. Chads, gr. on the subject "Field Corrosion Studies of Oil PipeLines."
