Camera Can't Comb

"How to keep from looking like a convict" is the theme of several suggestions by Orin C. Bingham, University photographer, who has completed preparations to make pictures of students when they start through the registration lines in Frank Strong hall today.
A camera is a wonderful thing but it can't comb your hair and magically adorn you with coat and tie or brush your locks and provide a neatly-pressed sports outfit. In other words, Mr. Bingham states, that the quality of your clothing should largely upon the appearance of the subject when he or she registers.
The cameraman suggests that--students be shaven, have their hair combed, a wear, a tie, a coat and discard chewing gum. If you commily

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.

Superfluous Advice
To New Students
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Remember that there are hundreds of other students just as lost as you and just as lonesome . . . that you are not the only one who has to consult the K Book to find the gymnasium . . . that most of the older students still refer to Frank Strong Hall as Ad. . . . that the Laws act that way because it is a tradition that the Laws should act funny . . . that the ads in the Daily Kansan are a good guide for your last minute buying . . . that the professors are nearly as forbidding as they appear during enrollment and the first day of class . . . that Watson library is a place worth investigation . . . that malted milks and cheeseburgers are not recommended as a steady diet . . . that your laudlady's bark is usually worse than her bite . . . that the Dean of Men is not a bit like his contempo-
rarie ni college novels . . . that thousands of other students have come from the enrollment mill on the verge of a nervous breakdown also . . . that upper-classmen like to be asked questions about the Hill because it gives them an opportunity to appear omnipotent . . . that the Daily Kansan can be mailed to your parents for a very nominal sum . . . that it would save lots of letter-writing home . . . that next year (by the grace of God and the faculty and a sufficient amount of midnight aid) you will not be a Freshman . . . that and then you can write "Tips to New Students" for the Kansan.
Note to Freshmen: Has your father and mother told you about Rhetoric Zero?
A couple of new places have been opened during the summer. Each will vie for student trade. The Southern Pit out at 19th and Wieden-are are under new management. Both are operated by former students.
Rushees Hurdle---and make mud pies with the stuff on the bottom of the tub and those who would rather hop right in and get a good even coat of dirt.
How many of the girls, who were pledged for their cars, will keep their cars up here now that they are safely settled in some organized house? Also how surprised will the new pledges be when they meet the active chapter now that the girls they know during rush week have turned out to be alumna and have gone for the year?
Lots of sleep and rest are needed before attempting to enter the enrollment line.

It is understood that seven high school chums, all from the same town, came up for rush week with the idea in mind that they would all pledge the same security or nothing together. Now that it is all over, everyone knows that they are same thing, three went into different houses and two went home.

for new pledges are held.
All rushes are compelled to register their dates at the desk in the main lounge of the Memorial Union building comencing at 9 o'clock Friday orming. The registration desk will be open throughout rush week and will serve as an information bureau for all questions that the rushes might have.
only the fraternity having the first date with the rushee can take him to register his dates. Each rushee must register his own dates and must now be assisted by members of any particular fraternity.
Every fraternity, under the rules,
is obligated to have any rushee
available at its chapter house in
ten minutes after delegates from another
fraternity arrive. In addition,

All rushes must keep the first date with every fraternity with which he registers dates. All subsequent dates must be kept unless broken by a telephone conversation or by a personal interview with the rushee if the fraternity with which the date is broken so demands.
The purpose of the registration is to allow each fraternity to know where the rushes are at the time of the date in order that he may be found. Another purpose of the registration is to prevent rushes from being "kept out of circulation" while the rush season is open.
