Housing Inspection Progresses
Rooms Are Checked on Many Points; Most Householders Willingly Co-operate
Gradually moving forward toward the desired end of getting a higher standard of rooms for University students, the Housing Committee this year has supervised the inspectio and approval of 271 rooming houses with a goal of approximately 375 before the opening of school.
Housing inspection was started in the summer of last year with the appointment of the committee headed by Dr. R. I. Cauteson, director of the health service; and with Henry Wertz, assistant professor of the Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to men; Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association; Mrs. Frank Parker, secretary of the men's student employment service; Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the advisor of women; Leonard, inspector of men's houses.
Mr. Leonard checks men's houses on external condition, fire protection, bathrooms, heat, light, ventilation and a number of other points. The prime consideration is cleanliness, and the idea of getting more privileges from roommates in more home-like atmosphere, and good livable rooms altogether.
Mr. Leonard finds that he can approve most of the houses but that a few had to conform to requirements and were approved only on the condition that certain provisions be met. He says that there are two classes of home-owners that refuse to co-operate with the University. They are those whose homes would have those whose homes cannot possibly pass inspection without numerous changes.
This year the Housing Committee hopes to inspect almost half again as many rooms as last. This means that 1,500 students are approximately 1,500 students this year.
A map of Lawrence and list of all approved rooms to date has been sent out to all new students this year. A subsequent list of approved rooms will be available later. Those house-holders whose rooms are listed are required to obtain higher rooming in attempting to obtain higher rooming house standards.
All women students must live in approved houses unless special arrangements are made with the office of the adviser to women. Sixty-two women's roaming houses have been inspected this year, and of these 26 are newly opened to girls. In addition, nine houses are being carried over from last year, making a total of 71 approved women's houses.
A notice attached to this list reads,
"Room Approved" cards with blue printing and the date, 1938-39, have been issued to all rooms approved by the University. Look for the card with the blue printing. Houses displaying approved cards with black letters and no date have not been approved by the University this year."
A list of these rooms was sent out to all new women students and graduate students. Miss Marie Miller said, "I believe that housing conditions are much improved this year over last."
It is customary that students rent rooms for a period of one semester. When a student desires a room for a shorter period of time, he must inform the householder of his intentions at the time he engages the room. He must have a written agreement with the householder for temporary residence.
"The housing program is carried forward in the interest of students, and the success of the program depends largely upon their cooperation and refusal to live in homes where the property is located. The closing statement of a little booklet, "Housing," issued by the housing committee.

The University lecture course featuring four famous men from as many walks of life, opens Nov. 13 with a lecture by Dr. Victor Heiser author of the highly praised "An American Doctor's Odyssev."
Lecture Series Will Feature Four Famous Men This Year
Dr. Heiser has traveled all over the world. From 1903 to 1915 he was chief quarantine officer in the Philippine Islands. He was then made associate director of the International Health Division of Rockefeller Foundation, in which capacity he served until 1934.
The second lecture will be given Jan. 17 by that famous philosopher, Will Durant. He will speak on some current situation of political and economic importance. Mr. Durant spoke last spring at the District Rotary convention at St. Joseph, Mo. On Wednesday he gave the keenest analysis of the troubles of the world that they had ever heard.
John Gunther, well-known journalist, will lecture Feb. 9 on "Inside Europe. What 1359 Will Bring." Mr. Gunther's work as foreign correspondent has carried him all over the world. He wrote a book about encounters in the book, "Inside Europe."
National Broadcasting Company's conductor of its "Other Americas" program, Edward Tomlinson, will deliver the last of the series of lectures Feb. 16. Mr. Tomlinson has had 15 years experience traveling in South America, and has given broadcasts from all over South America. He is a professor at a subject at the University will be "15 South America Going Forward."
Mr. Tomlinson has written numerous books and his writings are familiar to many magazine readers.
Professor Crafton was inducted into the organization in New York on his return from a trip abroad this summer. A majority of the members of the organization are actors of the legitimate stage, but a few outstanding authors, publishers and critics of its membership. Crafton is one of the very few professors who are members.
Allotment For CSEP Is Increased
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, was honored when he was made a member of the "The Players", an exclusive elective club for professional men of the戏院, closely allied arts. Aug. 30.
Allen Crafton Is Made Member of 'The Players'
An increase of $7,000 over last year's allotment to the University to CSENP work will afford jobs for app students on the Campus this fall.
Approximately Three Hundred and Sixty to Be Given Assistance This Year
This increase brings the total allotment for this year to $4,410 allowing the employment of some 35 more employees than were employed last year.
According to Miss Martha Tillman, director of the project at the University, about 800 applications have been filed at her office, nearly 200 less than was filed at this time last year.
Federal regulations have placed the average collective monthly wage for undergraduate at $15 and the maximum wage at $20.
Under the direction of Miss Hermina Zippe, director of the Union building, the interior of the building has been repainted and refurnished from the sub-basement to the third floor. "We have spent a great deal of money in redecorating the Union," said Miss Zippe, who has supervised the multiple activities which have their center in the building for three years, but if the students find it a cheery and honey
Miss Tillman expressed regret that the office would be unable to take care of all the large number of applicants seeking maximum assistance.
"It will be impossible," Miss Tillman said, for "us to give maximum assistance to all those who are asking it and still maintain our average wage for the employees as a whole at $15 that this average can not be ex-posed."
Miss Tillman warned that the first cheeks will not be available before Nov. 1 and that all students seeking assistance should arrange to take care of such items as fees, books, and living expense independent of CSEP
A set of satirical murals in the fountain room, a developing room for camera fiends, and two new rooms for dining and social activities are among the many new attractive features which returning students will find appealing. The Memorial Union building on arriving on the campus this fall.
For graduate students the average wage must not exceed $30 and the maximum $40 per month.
"Openings will undoubtedly occur during the first month of school." Miss Tillman said, "And it is possible that we will be granting jobs to some of those in the waiting list before the opening of school."
Student Union Building Is in Tip-Top Shape to Meet Students This Year
All jobs have been granted for this year, however others will be considered when vacancies appear.
Texas Plays Kansas First
Three of the best football teams in the country are included in the four non-conference teams which the University eleven will play this fall in addition to its five conference opponents.
Some of Best Football Teams in Country Are On Year's Schedule
Biggest problem for the coaches is getting the Jayhawks in readiness or the game with Texas, here. Sept. 4. This game comes exactly two weeks after the opening day of practice, or about the first day scrimmage usually held. All of which means hat the early practice sessions will be filled with hard work from the tart.
Texas, Notre Dame and George Washington, all big names in the football world, are on the 1938 Kansas schedule to make it the hardest schedule Jayhawk griffords have ever faced. The other teams in the Big Six, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas State and Iowa State, are all expected to be improved over last year which means that there will not be even one soft spot on the Kansas schedule.
For the fans, however, the first Continued on page 7
place to spend their leisure hours we will feel that we have been fully renaied."
The two new rooms which have been finished and are ready for use are on the third floor east, directly across from the Fine room. They are to be used as dining and social headquarters for groups or private parties. To learn about the school year to find a suitable name for the rooms, Sliding partitions separate the rooms so that two dinners serving 40 people each may be in progress at the same time, or by opening the doors, one large banquet of 80 may be served. If it is desired, private parties may have access to the music from Continued on page 4.
Foresee Record Enrollment
The largest enrollment in the history of the University and a big year a foreseeen by George O. Foster, registrar. On Sept. 7, approximately 740 transcripts had been received to enter the University as freshmen.
This number, Mr. Foster estimates, will swell to about 1000 by the time school begins a increase of about 200 freshmen over
The total enrollment, Mr. Foster predicts, will be some 100 over the 4922 attending the University March of this year.
Mr. Foster attributes the increase, enrollment to various factors. It is his belief that many young men and women are planning to attend the University largely because they cannot find employment. An increased CSEP allotment will also add to the enrollment, since the University is thus able to give as many students. The fact that the University has been a week later than last year may also be a contributing cause.
To aid new students in problems of registration, enrollment, and general orientation during their first week on the campus, a special program for Freshman Week will be carried on as it was last year. The program includes certain exercises at which attendance of new students is required. A pamphlet listing all events will be available.
All new students are required to take a physical examination before they are permitted to enroll. Appointments for this examination are made at the time of registration and must be kept according to schedule.
Registration begins the morning of Saturday, Sept. 17, at 8:30 a.m. in Frank Strong hall. Students will register according to the first letter of their surname. All students entering the University with advanced standing who have taken the psychological examination may register immediately and will be issued permits to enroll.

REGISTRAR
If the student entering college will realize clearly that a college education vastly increases his opportunities and at the same time increases his obligation to serve his fellows, he will meet less disappointment, make greater progress and find deeper satisfaction than he will otherwise. It is easier to learn how to make a living than it is to learn to know live. A "poor man" who knows how to live is happier than a rich man who does not. College education of the right sort emphasizes this fact and helps the student to learn to apply the principles upon which the fact is based

University Daily Kansan Will Record College Life
Campus Newspaper Gives Students Accurate And Timely Accounts of Local and World Happenings; Publication Is Closely Bound to College Activities
The University Daily Kansan welcomes you to Mount Oread, a campus of well-balanced academic endeavor and social activity. The Kansan is the official student paper of the University. It is student written, edited, governed, and censored.
Music to Echo In Auditorium
In the columns of the Kansan you will find a complete account of University activities, as well as national and international news. A large staff of reporters is in constant contact with every news source on the Hill.
University Will Be Host To World Renowned Musicians and Artists
Erica Morini, regarded as the greatest woman violinist appearing on the concert stage today, will open the first of a series of seven major musical attractions to be offered this season according to a recent announcement made by Dean D. M. Swarthout, manager of the series.
The opening concert was scheduled for Nov. 9 after considerable negotiation by telegraph last week when it was learned that Gula Bustago, young American violinist, originally scheduled to open the series was on an annual tour in Australia, so would be unable to make an appearance here on that date.
On Dec. 1, the well-known Don Cossack Chorus composed of former Russian army officers will return to France in April for more appearance in the past six years.
Probably the greatest interest of the community will be shown in the concert on Jan. 16 of Gladys Swarthorn, renowned opera, radio, and move star, who has attained a popularity and following given to but few singers since her last appearance in Lawrence several years ago.
The Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Katrine Krueger, graduate of the University of Kansas, will return to the campus on Feb. 13 for its annual concert.
In addition to Gladys Swarthout, the concert series this year is presenting another featured singer, the young Russian baritone, Igor Gordin, who has been winning an outstanding success both in America and abroad.
An event which will be of decided interest to all lovers of music will be the concert on March 21 of Joseph Hofman. This greatest of all living pianists last year received the homage of the entire musical world when he appeared in recital in Carnegie Hall commemorating his first tenure with a work. His concert work as a child prodigy and is today playing at his best. He last appeared at the University three years ago.
Closing the series on the evening of April 24 will be the recital of Rosalyn Tureck—one of the most talked-of young pianists in the country today. Miss Tureck recently received the $500 cash prize given by the National Federation of Music Clubs. There will be a particular interest in her concert here as most of her training in piano was received under Jan Chapusso, now a member of the School of Fine Arts.
No advance in prices for the series is contemplated although the expense of the course this year is decided higher than other years. Reservations are being made daily at the School of Fine Arts, at $6.50, $5.50, and $4.50, plus sales tax, for all seven attractions.
Memorial Seats Adorn Campus
Facing stone from old Snow Hall, the biological science building which was raked three or four years ago at the University, is being used for construction of two memorial seats on the main University driveway, in front of Watson Library. A gift of several hundred dollars by the class of 1931, makes possible the constr- uction of the seats, into which will be incorporated two illuminated bulletin boards.
The seats will be on either side of the walk leading to the library steps, and will be very close to the original entrance to Snow Hall. The old Snow Hall was erected in 1837 and is now unsafe to be repaired, and a new biological sciences building was erected west of the Administration building.
The Kanan is the only newspaper which will give you complete coverage on the activities of the University. The campus newspaper is as much a part of your college education, as completely bound to active campus life, as will be the classes that you will attend.
One of the most vital features offered is the "Chancellor's Bulletin," issued daily from the office of Chancellor E. H. Lindley and running exclusively every morning in the Kansas. This feature gives the news of those events which make up the University, and work in the University, and consequently is extremely important to every student.
Nor will you miss the wider range of world happenings if you read the Kansan. Through our United Press wire service you can keep up to the minute on red-hot news about the China, the Czechoslovakian crisis, the European foreign office, and fall elections in our own United States.
But it must be remembered that the Daily Kansan is a student publication. It is councilled, receives suggestions, and accepts criticism from all departments of the University—but it has no "sacred cows." It stands as a protector of the student commonwealth and does all within its power to protect the students from any exploitation that any organization or individual might attempt and to obtain for the student body those legitimate and proper advantages accessible or due them.
In addition to the news in the Kansan, you will save time and money by careful reading of its advertisements. Kansan advertisers are very busy. You will keep you informed on sales and special bargains during the year.
An organized force of authorized salesmen will sell subscriptions to the Kansan during the first few weeks of school. The subscription rate is $3 for the entire school year, or $1.75 per semester. For this reason you can read your name when it appears in known your friends are doing, and keep informed as to what is happening at your college.
You will need the Kansas. Subscript to it at your earliest opportunity and enjoy your college days to the fullest.
Make Numerous Changes on Hill
Numerous changes and additions have been made over the campus during the summer. The most noticeable addition is that of the Memorial benches in the front of the library. They are built of stone from the hall and, when finished, two bulletin boards will be a part of them.
In Frank Strong hall, a new room is being built in the basement. The statistics machines will be removed from the second floor of the building and the statistics laboratory installed in the new room. Business school students are required to be merely occupied by the machines. On the third floor of Strong hall, two small rooms have been built. They are largely for display and storage. At the end end of the building, the mathematics office has been reduced in size, and the space used for computers and mathematics library. This library, like the others on the Hill, has been extremely crowded in the past.
In Marvin hall, the office of the dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture has been divided with partitions to provide small conference rooms and a room for his secretary.
In the Chemistry building, to accommodate a greatly increased chemistry enrollment this year, the metamurgy laboratory has been moved to half the hall and the wanted furnished with equipment for graduate students.
