NUMBER 3
Under the strictest regulations in the history of University rushing, Hill fraternities yesterday opened fire in the annual battle of the Greeks with a near record number of "targets" at which to shoot.
Because of the efforts of the Men's Pan-hellenic council to eliminate unethical features from what in the past has been the rush week "racket", the fifteen social fraternities will compete for the cream of a crop of more than 325 rushees on a strictly up-and-up basis.

Student Union Hosts
To All New Students
At 'Jayhawk Nibble'
Beginning at 6:30
In the irregular queue that creeps through the west hall of Frank Strong hall beginning at 8:30 this morning approximately 5,000 students by the time registration is completed will stand in line, ask innumerable questions, ward off boarding house stewards, and fill in cards a yard long about themselves. Registration for the seventy-third year of the University starts when students whose family names begin with M or Q appear at the office of Geo. O. Foster, registrar, who expects the freshmen to number about 1,000, an increase of 200 over last year.
"The above figure obtained directly from fraternity presidents, through perseverance and, insofar as we are correct." *I must arouse the courtesy signed* (the Pan-He and in no way can anteed.

Extend Hospital Services To Fulfill Students' Needs
Manned by a larger staff the Uni- University of Kansas health service will see in its care some 5,000 students offering them medical services that will photograph their internal structure and untangle their mental stress as effectively as it dispenses headache tablets and cure simple colds.
Two men doctors and an interme-
one woman physician, two X-ray
technicians, a full-time registered
pharmacist, another assistant in the
office, and a part-time psychiatrist
to straighten out the mental quirks
of students selected by Dr. R. L
Canuteson director of the health
service, with a complete quota of
students to staff it to University of Kansas embryonic
students, and old-timers as well,
one of the most complete health services
of any university in the United
States for the nominal fee of $5.00.
The purpose of these phamphibles is to give accurate information to the rushee concerning expenses incurred in affiliating with an organized house on the campus and—in addition to that—on a usual mud-slinging carried on during rush week over "exhorbitant" house bills.
In previous years the fee has been insufficient to cover mere operation of the hospital even during a year as the last school term, considered normal by Dr. Cancitou as no serious need for it. Many medical careeres of many students. Nevertheless, the staff averaged 40 disasters per day.
The Men's Panhellenic Council in its annual pre-rush week meeting yesterday officially decided to place in the hands of all russethes at the time of registration a pamphlet containing information concerning the fraternity house lilies'ledge fees, initiation fees, and assessments.
"The increase," Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, said, "is in effect to make up for those deficiencies that already existed." Last year 85.3 per cent of the students attending the University used the health service and consulted with the hospital physicians. During the two semesters, the hospital received an average of 128 student visions and 947 visiting dental visits. Of these, the health staff conducted 9,814 laboratory examinations and cared for 1,319 hospital patients.
All new students, including those who enroll with advance standing, receive physical examinations upon enrollment. At the time of registration appointments are made for these examinations which must be kept. For instance, to demonstrate the use to which such examinations are put, the results are necessary before students enter physical exercise classes, compete in games, or participate in Training Corps. For comparative data, Dr. Canuteson expects at some future time to obtain physical examination of all seniors.
Men's Panhellenic Council Issues Booklet for Freshmen
Students may come to the hospital for examination, consultation and treatment during the regular disciplinary hours which, from Monday 10 a.m. to Saturday 12 noon and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 12 noon; and Sum-
day, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Students are expected to adhere to this schedule except in emergencies and appoint-ments made by teloneh.
One of the finest buildings for its purpose in the United States, Watkins Memorial Hospital was given to the University by Mrs. J. B. Watkins, who also built the nurses home completed last year. The hospital, opened in January, 1932, houses the dispensary, which is complete with necessary examining rooms, laboratory, X-ray department, operating room, and offices. The normal capacity of 46 beds in 24 patient rooms has allowed the closure to 62 beds by the addition of glazed over surroots.

New and old students will come to the campus to be classified as jitterbugs, cats, alligators, Pachacanac, bats, Sig Eps and floozies. They will wear shorts, cords, bus jackets, beer jackets, and straight jackets. Hot weather and cold weather formals. They will hold jam sessions, jitter sessions, bus sessions and study sessions. The leaves will fall and the buds will burst. They will be poorer but wiser.
