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.

Camera Can't Comb
Curls, Press Pants
Or Knot Neckties
"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 sport outfit. In other words, Mr. Bingham states, that the quality of clothing worn is largely upon the appearance of the subject when he or she registers.
The cameraman suggests that—students be shaven, have their hair combed, wear a tie, wear a coat and discard chewing gum. If you comply

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.

A sitting bench for fag moocher is under construction in front of the library.
This innovation on the Hill at which campus leaders and administration heads will be introduced should prove to be a popular way to welcome all new students to the University.
Like a lighthouse in a fog, the fog, the free meal know as the 'Jayahawk Nibble' will attract all new students, both freshmen and upperclassmen, to the Memorial Union ballroom Saturday at 6:30.
After Rush Week the beer jacket may be worn without an undershirt.
Other events of Freshman Week include the psychological examinations for new students on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 9 o'clock a.m; the Y.W.C.A. open house at Henley House, 1236 Oreand; and the "Jayhawk Nibble" in the evening at 6:30. On Sunday there is the W.S.G.A. Y.W.C.A. at Warking Hall frog room, 1236 Oreand, for some same period there is a miker at the Union lounge provided by the M.S.C. Y.W.C.A.

Rushees Hurdle Pitfalls
With a smaller number of rushes in Corbin and the Hotel this year, the hill has almost become an open season. As the day of preferential dinner approached the familiar line that it "is so late that if you don't promise to pledge our sorority you won't get to pledge anything was used to scare more than one little bewildered rushee. As the rush captain of one of the sororities started to take the preferential bids to Corbin, a huge mirror in the hall fell to the floor and crashed on its face. Upon close examination the girls found that it wasn't even scratched. Perhaps that is an omen that this organized house is going to have a good year. There are a few parents who are not going to be any too happy when their daughters return the family room for Christmas during rush week. It seems that two of the rushes have managed to run

Notice to Faculty
J. M. BURNHAM,
The regular payroll is ready for signatures. All faculty members should call at the business office, 123 Frank Strong hall on or before Sept. 20 to sign payroll.
The housemother at Corbin will have to admit that this rush week has been just as hectic as any other for her, what with the firealarm going off in the middle of the night when the ones on third floor tried to get an order of food up the fire escape after closing hours. The only casualty during the week was a girl. The unfortunate girl also had to be in high rush week as the proud possessor of two black eyes.
It is a fine state of affairs that during rush week when everyone wants especially to make a good impression the water works goes on without having somebody's farm float in with the water. The girls have divided into two groups: those who would rather let the water settle

Wiley Expects Splendid Band
"There will be 100 regular uniforms, five drum major uniforms and the macros uniform to fill," Mr. Wiley said.
Early indications point toward even greater heights for the University of Kansas band this year it was disclosed by Russell L. Wiley in an interview yesterday in which he was quoted as saying that there were greater number of fine recruits this year than ever before.
The sections are already nearly filled and Mr. Wiley predicts greater strength in every section.
Tryouts, which will be held Sept. 19 and 20, promise to be the largest in history.
The proposed trips on which the band may accompany the football team are to Manhattan and Columbia, Mo.
"And incidently our little mascots will be with us this fall."
Mr. Wiley announced that he is seriously considering admitting approximately a half dozen girls into the concert band this year. They will not, however, play with the marching band.
The second band will be in operation again this year under the direction of Robert Boyle and Lynn Hockler. The purpose of this band is to develop new recruits and contests for public school music students.
The first band rehearsal will be held on Tuesday evening. Sept. 20 in Hoch auditorium.
Mr. Wiley said the band would be ready to lend its support to the football team in the first home game with Texas.
Pledge List Falls Short by 18 of High Mark of 151 Last Year; Kappa's Take Second Highest Number and Pi Phi's Third
Nine University sororites finished the race of the fall rushing season failing to equal the high mark of 151 pledges set last year by 18. Out of 180 rushees registered, 133 were accepted with Gamma Phi Beta leading the list with 21 women pleaded.
Kappa Kappa Gamma followed with 20 names added to the rroster and Pai Beta Phi, third, pledged with two less. The
Fraternities 'Turn on Heat'
Men's Rush Week Begins Tomorrow Night And Ends Sunday
With the new pledges safely housed after four strenuous days of rushing, the sororites on the campus are ready to meet the twin births "burn on the heat."
Men's rush week officially begins at 12 o'clock midnight tomorrow and continues through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There is every reason to believe that this will be a big summer for you. There are busy cleaning their chapter houses in anticipation of this bumper crop of rushes.
Backing up the foregoing statement is the estimation of George O. Foster, registrar, that a freshman enrollment of about 1000 will take place, a probable increase of almost 200 freshmen over last year.
Five dates, consisting of lunch, afternoon, dinner, evening, and night
