Enrollment To New Peak
Registration of 265 new students for the spring semester during the first week brought the total enrollment of the University to 4893, a new high, high accordion to flow from the institute of Geo. O. Foster, registrar.
Total registration to the comparable date last year was 4862, and new registrations were 226.
Of the 253 registering for this semester, 106 are entering the University for the first time and 159 are renewing previous scholastic courses. Of the new students were 94, and 132 former students again registered.

"Sometimes I don't know what I think about love at all," she admits a little dazedly.
Last Friday in one of the town's night-spots, one member of a three-stag party adopted the record machine as his very own. Not only he ward off all comers, but he played the same piece, "Thanks for the Memories," for over an hour. All he would say was that it was Julia Heimbrink's favorite piece. Too bad she was at the Philt DJ contest.
Professor Ress Robertson, putter-forth of ye Economic History, had a little trouble with the names in his 9:30 class. "If you think they are not real names," he noted in his 19:30 class. There are some honeys in it. I mean names," he added quickly.

ORGAN RECITAL POSTPONEL
Continued on page 3
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1838
The Vesper Organ Recital, to have been given today, has been postponed until Feb. 12 because Hoch auditorium has been prepared for the basketball game this week.
The Ballet Russe is adjudged by Irving Deakin, the eminent ballet critic, as a better company than the Jojo Ballet which appeared here last year, and according to Dean Hammond, it has the greatest show I ever brought here."
Dean Swarthout told the sale of tickets has been heavy the past few days and urged students to make their reservations early. Activity tickets do not admit to the ballet, but it is one of the University concert courses.
Ballet Change Is Announced
These numbers are three of the largest in the company's extensive repertoire and were among those presented when the Ballet Russe appeared at London's Covent Gar-ware, a feature of the coronation 186900.
In its fifth American tour, the Ballet will play 100 cities, covering 300-900 miles. The company is under the direction of renowned fauns Europe ballet director.
Artistic Scope Is Extended
Starred as matre de ballet is Leonide Massine, Russian dancer and ballet choreographer. The balierinas are Ira Barona Roanne, Alexandra Danilova, and Tatiana Riaibochinska.
New Program Consists Of Three 30 - Minute Presentations
The new program will be composed of three 30-minute presentations. "A Hundred Kisses," "Auror's Wading," and "The Gods at A Bering."
Dean D. M. Swartwhort, director of the University concert course, yesterday announced a complete change of program for the appearance of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in Hoch auditorium next night night. An engagement in Kansas City's ABA Theater has necessitated the new program for the University performance of the Ballet.
The artistic scope of the company's presentations has been extended widely by the engagement of Michel Fokine, Russian ballet creator, as producer and technical adviser. Tickets are on sale at the School of Fine Arts office, Bell Music Co., and Round Corner drug store.
Because it was believed some persons would desire to see both performances, the changes we announced by Dean Swarthout were received as a tribute of a tear-gram from S. Hureck, agent for the ballet company.
Second Band Rehearses Today
Numbers Featured in London
This organization, which is under the supervision of Rex Conner, fa38, and James Van Dyck, fa39, is open for both men and women students who can play any kind of instrument. Anyone desiring to enroll in this band may do so by attending today's rehearsal. Credit is given only to students in the School of Fine Arts Membership in the school of self-performing instruments, and may conduct complete scores during rehearsals and concerts.
The first rehearsal of the Second land this semester will be held toay at 3:30 in Hoch auditorium.
Kansas clays, Kansas chalk and Kansas "volcanic ash" are being given rigid tests in the clay laboratories at the University. The clays and ash are proving useful in the manufacture of pottery and the chalk gives promise of being valuable for the manufacture of putty.
Norman Plummer, assistant professor of design in the School of Fine Arts and technician for the Kansas Geological Survey, has been carrying on the tests all year and has created valuable results in pottery metal.
Just now, some clay from Mt. Oread, near the site of the original University building, is being used. Other clays come from Ellsworth county and from near Buffalo in Wilson county.
Regular rehearsals are to be held from 3.30 to 4.30 Monday and Friday afternoons.

'All' Is Revealed by Co-eds In Next Play, 'Spring Dance'
The Dramatic Club's next production, "Spring Dance," might have been named "Sorority Gals Reveal ALL," for much of the stage action revolves around five girls and most of their conversation has to do with various opinions of the opposite sex: "Bull sessions" in the parlor and one of the bedrooms of a sorority house of an eastern girls' college bring to light many hitherto unheard opinions and facts about men.
Wise-cracking Mady says, "The little devils are getting a truffle hard to handle." "Yes-what do they think they are, women?" interjects Kate, who is a hit on the cynical side, who has one picked out just the same.
But Sally says the modern male is changing! "Why, just in the last year there has been a complete metamorphosis."

Business School Sets New Record
Won $290 *Students*,
University School of Business,
the University of Pittsburgh increased 50 per cent over last year's. Dean F. Stockton announced yesterday that it is the largest enrollment in the school's history.
Seniors are now being interviewed for jobs after commencement this spring. A representative of the W.T. Grant company talked with students Friday. A representative of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company will visit the School of Business Feb. 7 and 8.
Six of the 12 graduating students have already found positions. The most recent placement was Kerneth McCormick, who started with Light company, in Atchison.
Freshmen and sophomores planning to enter the School of Business are reminded that the latter is cooperating with the College of Liberal Arts in requiring a language course as provided by the College rules. General work in different fields is also recommended.
Independent Students Dance
Independent women will "wear the pants" when they entertain the men with a dance from 7 to 8 o'clock in the Memorial Union lounge.
Women have the choice of going stag or taking dates to the dance, which is the first Independent activity of this semester.
But for Alex there is only one "We sat on a hill next to the stars and he told me I had a firm little jaw," she said.
Two other women characters are Miss Ritie, "who hath the house-mother's cale eye which pierceeth any thicket," the乳, the Mildred, who is generally fed up with men, "the little busy-bodies; always around when you don't want them and never greets do."*

Norman, Okla., Feb. 5. —The largest crowd that has witnessed a basketball game here since 1929, 4,700 persons, saw the Sooners sprint in the last 10 minutes after trailing Nebraska most of the game, to defeat the Huskers 50 to 48. The score at the half was Nebraska 28, Oklahoma 13. The score on the last 3 minutes, when, with the score at 45-11, Jimmy Mennott broke through with a basket giving Oklahoma a 2-point lead.
Then Roop made a free throw, followed by another basket by Walker, Oklahoma forward, which apparently put the game on ice, but Nebraska gave the Sooners a closing scare.
Parsons cracked a basket, glanced at the clock ticking away the seconds and squandered a shot from mid-turn. He looked into patting Nebraska in the running.
As the game ended Amen swept an underhanded shot from 15 feet out that would have tilt the score. The shot was low

Kansas' improving Jayhawk basketball team faces Kansas State College tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium as the next obstacle in its race with the high-flying Oklahoma Sooners.
The Jayhawkers, now in cannot place, cannot top Oklahoma by a victory over the Wildcats, but must defeat their state rivals to stay in a challenging position behind the undefeated Sooner sophomores.
Forwards Have Hit Strides
Again Kansas is the favorite, but none, except the most optimistic Wildcat rooter, will venture to predict a reevaluation of last year's upset.
Kansas will go into the game as favorite over the last-place State quintet, but remembering the second game between the two teams last year, when the Aggies threw a pitchwork into the Jayhawkers' title machinery by upsetting them 33.52 in an overtime contest.
repeat a repetition of their upset. Recent improvement in the Jay-hawker offensive work points to an increase in the margin of 33-21 in the first meeting of the teams this season. Don Ehlong and Lyman-marlis, forward, got 22 points between in the game with Nebraska Wednesday night, and apparently have hit their scoring stride.
The "old reliable" Fred Pralle nurses a special grudge against Kansas State because of his poor show each of the last three years at Manhattan, and is particularly anxious "pour them in" tomorrow
Scoring Likely To Be High
Should Ebling and Corlis continue to click offensively, and if Praile shakes his Wildcat jinx, Kansas should improve on its end of the score, with a strong possibility of a 50-point total, such as Oklahoma has turned in consistently in conference games.
Because of his outstanding work against Nebraska, Corlis is slated to start against Kansas State, replacing George Golay. The remainder of the Kansas lineup will be the same.

Small Blaze Provides Show For Fire Fans
By the Fire Editor
The fire-haunting instinct in the fire editor was called forth yesterday at the sound of the fire department speeding Hill-bound. He was headed for a late lunch when the chief and other sections of the department sped by him. A turn of the heel, a sprint for a block, and he wound up beside the Commons building to find a blue Plymouth sedan belong to C. G. Coe smoldering after a short-circuit wire had set fire to the motor.
Due credit must be given to the volunteer fire department from the Chemistry building (Pardon, E. H. S. Bailey Chemical Laboratories) which had the fire well under control by the time the city fire department arrived. Credit must be given also to the superhuman telephone operator in interpreting the excited call of "Fire" uttered by Wayne Coe, driver of the car. After considerable difficulty, the operation was able to discover the location of the blaze and informed the city fire fighters. So the Kanaka men knew his eyes were more with smoke, at the expense of a damaged motor and scorched paint on the hood of the car.
