Jayhawkers Work Out On Defense
Lindsay Drills S q a u d
Against Irish Offense;
Timing of Plays Also
Stressed
Digging into his files on football lore, Coach Ad Lindsay came up with a batch of material labeled "Notre Dame" and as a result the Jyhawk-hawks are no longer what to expect when they face the Irish at South Bend Saturday.
The coaches lined up two squads at yesterday's practice and went over the famous "Notre Dame shift" in which the backs go into a diamond shaped formation behind a balanced line. Lindsay showed his charges what they could expect from his team, including players, saying that "they like to throw big, long aerials and let their ends out-run the secondary."
Working on defense against Irish plays was a line composed of "Chuck" Warren at the pivot, Ferrel Anderson and Quido Masure, guards, Fred Boslevic and Mike Silhanek, tackles, flanked by Russell Chandler. Fieldwork was Ed Hall, Ralph Miller, Dick Amerine, and Paul Masoner.
Massare and Burge were in the forward wall in place of Dave Shirk and Monte Merkel, who were late for practice after remaining in the dressing room for treatment to minor injuries.
After a lot of skull practice on Notre Dame plays the squad went through some fairly stiff dummy scrimmage in an effort to iron out flaws in the timing of their own offense.
Another backfield besides the Hall-Miller-Amerine-Mason quartet had Bill Bunsen at fullback, Lyman Divaen and Max Replogle at the halves, and Mull Sillvant at quarter. There was so little to choose between the performances of these two sets of ball-toters that fans wondered if
Lindsey were planning to steal some of the Ramblers' thunder and substitute whole backfields at once.
The Notre Dame team doesn't have the flop of big name stars to start the season as it usually does. Nine regulars were born in this team and fourteen form a team this fall. Ed Beinor, all-American tackle, and Ed Simonch, powerhouse backfall, are the only two hold-over starters.
Don Jacka, big sophomore guard from Tonganoxie, who has been confined to the hospital with infected heels and a dislocated shoulder, was released yesterday morning and participated in yesterday's practice.
Although it will be in anexperienced team that faces Kansas Saturday, Notre Dame's "Sunday plays" have always been its off-take smashes and passes—the two events that Texas used for most of its sardonic runs.
Engineers Hold Annual Mixer
Sounds of revelry will echo through the corridors of Marvin hall tonight when the Engineering council stages its annual mixer for new students in the auditorium.
Plans are all set for a crowd of about 300, Lester Haugh, e'39, president of the council said yesterday. The mixer will start at 7:30 and last about an hour. In that time it is believed that all new students will be able to get acquainted with their superiors as well as students enrolled in the school and at the same time have a good time.
To aid the newcomers in getting acquainted, members of the council will be stationed at the doors of the auditorium for an orientation to each new student.
Thirty-five minutes of pure entertainment are promised along with a considerable quantity of cider and doughnuts.

Swimming Pool Gets Tropical Murals on Walls
By Jim Bell. c'40
The department of physical education isn't going to let anyone put anything over on it. No Sir! It keeps up with all the latest innovations. In the Kansan the other day we heard that they had started several social dancing classes. Now comes some sort of a climax—they put murals in the swimming pool at Robinson gymnastium! Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen was strolling about the campus the other day and he chanced to jump into the Union fountain. While he watched his "cole" he saw Carol Johnson's murals upon the walls. So thrilled was he by the beauty of Johnson's stuff that he immediately began looking for an artist to do something like that for him.
When he returned to the gym he remembered that the swimming pool was being re-painted. Hurrying down the stairs, he collared the painter and asked him if he was a muralist.
"I never heard of that stuff, but if you mean paint'n' pictures, sure. I can do 'em," answered the workman (we had his name on a slip of paper, but lost it. This artist must remain anonymous).
The painter sat down and thought for a while. Finally a light shown in the room made him realize an idea. He missed his paint and began to work. For several days

The central theme (boy! do we know our art!) is found on the back wall. A small boat bobs gently on waves while the breeze blows through the palm trees "Doc" says that he'll get George Petty (of the *Require* Petty's) to paint in tropical maidens dancing on the beach, if the Board of Regents approves. If he gets that, all he'll need is a sandy beach and we can all become beachcombers.
"The string section," said Director Kuersteiner, "is better than ever before." But weekly sections rehearsal will be held again this year. Each section will be under the direction of its principal. The principals are as follows: Chance Barnes Beaty fa '38; James Kline Beaty fa '39; second violin; Olga Enafu, fa 'n' viola; Rita Gunsallus, fa 'n' cello; and Eugene O'Brien, fa 'n' bass.
Kuersteiner Is Content
Orchestra Director
Expresses Satisfaction
At First Rehearsal
"A most satisfactory beginning rehearsal!" exclaimed Prof. Karl O. Kuersteiner, as he told of this year's new University Symphony Orchestra. "In spite of the fact that nearly one-half of the personnel is new, the playing showed increased progress over the last few years."
From abroad comes Herta Eichter-
sheimer, c.42. Until two years ago
Herta lived in Mankein, Germany
where she learned to play the violin
This year the orchestra has several members of outstanding prominence. Nicholas Gerren, graduate student, has spent the last two years studying and playing the viola in Russia. While in that country he did much playing for the Russian Broadcast company.
Ruth Ann Crary, ed. uncle, violinist, was concertmaster at Steven's College, Columbia, Mo. Another previous concertmaster at Steven's College who acted in this capacity at St. Benedict's College, Attichon.
The personnel of the Concert Orchestra is filled, with few exceptions. Since the list of members of the orchestra was published, two more still exist. They are Mirez, Mize, c40, violin, and Free Harris, c39, tuba.
Professor Kuersteiner, director of the orchestra and instructor of violin, said that the ability of students to play their instruments was exceedingly far above average. Most students went to tryouts playing concertos instead of the usual "get-by" piece.
The first concert will feature Elizabeth Searel. c.39. Miss Searel will play an arrangement for the harp by Gabriel Pierli with full orchestra aaccommodation. It will make its debut by playing the Fifth Symphony by Tekshakowsky.
Cathleen Beyer, bf'uunel, was the principal in the second violin section at Lindsborg School, Lindsburg, last year. James D Flory, fl'oryl, Eng. guitarist, was the director of music at the Stafford High School, Stafford.
Construction totaling nearly three-fourths of a million dollars is under way, or has recently been completed at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, Kans. More than another state appl.ation, including gifts, PWA, WPA, and hospital earnings
Construction On Hospital Is Under Way
Under construction at present is a negro ward, which is to cost $136,363; and contracts have just been let for addition of two more stories on the Hixon research laboratory. The first units of the Hixon laboratory cost $63,508, of which $25,000 was a from the Hixon Foundation; $72,432 from WA services, and $13,858 from acceptance of the hospitals. The second section will cost $73,636 of which $45,000 is from the Hixon foundation, and the remainder PWA funds.
Start Work With Appropriation of Nearly $750,000; Will Have Neo Ward
In addition to the PWA building grants, there were, altogether, reports of Dr. Harry Wahl, dean of the School of Medicine, WPA projects to the University of Hawaii that totalled $72,025 largely in the form of excavation for new buildings, or in landscaping work.
Recently completed, but as yet unfinished is the children's pavilion, for which an anonymous friend gave $60,000, the PWA supplied $57,270, and the hospital funds $4,095. The new dispensary building, erected at a cost of $132,397 had the benefit of $45,000 PWA work, and the $18,120 warehouse represents $10-0,000 state appropriation and $8,120 PWA. Two-thirds of the power plant improvements, which cost $67,181, were from the state and all but $500 of the $100,500 that went into the connecting corridor is a state appropriation.
Complete Children's Pavilion
When the two top floors of the new dispensary building are completed, and the whole building is furnished, it will be possible to remove the frame "paper" buildings that were erected for emergency use ten years ago, and have long outlived their safety or usefulness
Total $130,000
The three gifts mentioned totalled $130,000, and the hospitals used from their general funds $18,451.

Under the regulations, neither student nor faculty cars are to be parked on the main drives of the Campus between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. They are to be left only in the properly assigned parking spaces. Two unrestricted spaces have been provided near the campus for unlicensed cars. One is along the drive on the west edge of the Campus, from Fourteenth street to Miller hall; the other is the triangle south of the Chi Omega house and west of the engineering building.
An assistant traffic officer whose function will be to check cars and put "tickets" on those illegally parked, will start on duty Monday. Officer Snyder urges all permit holders to utilize the limited parking spaces to the best advantage, lining up cars in regular lines and sending them back to a turn curb as possible.

Big Four Will Meet For Peace Attempt
Enrollment Falls Slightly
London, Sept. 29 (Thursday)—(UP)—Europe had a 24-hour reprieve today in its ride toward war. Der Fuehler, Adolph Hitler of Germany, agreed to meet with the premiers of Britain, France, and Italy at Munich this afternoon in a last effort to work out a peaceful solution of the German-Czech crisis.
Enrollment figures in the different schools varied little with those for last year. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has the largest enrollment this year with 2,278: the School of Engineering and Architecture, 660; School of Fine Arts, 348; School of Law, 110; School of Pharmacy, 59; School of Law, 198; Lawrence, 178; School of Education, 149; and the School of Business, 337.
There was an increase of four,
however, at the School of Medicine
in Kansas City which made a total
of 10 under 10 last year's total of
4,889.
Registrar's Records
Show 14 Decrease Over
Last Year
The reprieve came almost on the hour that the German Fuehrer had set for the signal that would send German troops
The School of Medicine at Kansas City showed an enrollment of 149 graduate and medical students, and of 92 student nurses.
Figures obtained yesterday from the office of registrar George Foster, reveal a slight decrease in enrollment in the University compared with the figures for September 1987. Until Saturday, the number of 4338 students at Lawrence is compared with 4352 for last fall, a loss of only 14 students.

marching on the Czech frontier to size the Sudetenland, where 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans now live under Czech rule.
Prime minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, was standing before Parliament delivering his address in a final account of Britain's effort to avoid war—which at the moment seemed inevitable when a messenger rushed in with Hitler's offer to hold off his troops for another day and to meet Chamberlain, Premier Eduard Daladier of France and Premier Mussolini of Italy in a final conference.
Last night Hitler left by train for Munich and Mussolini departed from Rome with his foreign secretary, Count Galeazzo Ciano. Chamberalian and Dilader will fly to Munich today.
Chamberlain was understood to be taking with him a new formula for a peaceful end to the German-Czech dispute which Hitler has defended. The latter is uncontested in circumstances, by ceding the Sudetenland to Germany without delay.
However, it was reported in Berlin that Hitler has agreed to hold off armed invasion of Czechoslovakia, which he warned would occur if his demands were not met by Ost, 1—next Saturday—if Chamberlain's solution at Munich is acceptable.
What Chamberlain's "last chance" proposal may be was not known, but reports from Paris indicated that it might be an offer of an international patrol to police the Sudanese government and that it would until the transfer of territory to the greater Reich could be accomplished.
The German dictator will be satisfied, the Berlin reports indicated with a "token withdrawal of Czech troops on the day he set as the deadline with assurance of complete withdrawal soon after."
In Berlin it was reported the British and French ambassadors, Sir Neville Henderson, and Andre Francois Foncet, had打败 Hiller a formula for solution which included "symbolic" occupation of Sudeten areas on Saturday, and that this would be acceptable to Hitler.
While many statesmen pointed out that optimism was not entirely justified, that Europe might be showed back to the edge of the preface if a stateman of Muslim faith a wave of relief哭泣, through the capitals last night.
President Helps Bring Conference
Washington, Sept. 28. —(UP)—Without directly involving the United States, President Roosevelt tonight appeared to have brought all the power and prestige of American diplomacy into play and help bring about the historic conference at Munich on the Sudeten dispute.
The White House would not admit that such was the case, but a composite picture of rapid-fire developments tended to show that Mr. Roosevelt had exerted strong moral persuasion on all the leading powers including Germany, Italy, and Japan.
The picture became materialized yesterday when Joseph P. Kennedy, American ambassador to Court of St. James, conferred with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that I took more definite shape last night when the President challenged Chancellor Adolph Hitler,
