**Quote:** "So this is what a good wheat crop sends to K.U." by an unidentified blonde at Union Fountain.
19a Dancing, that old and dear subject that insists on bobbing up to haunt us every year, is demonstrating its usefulness again at intervals during Louie Kuhn's jam sessions at the Cottage.
For the first time in many years it is possible to witness scenes that spell real college life to the average student. The Cottage is serving as a setting for informal gatherings of jovial, fun-loving undergraduate students; children and coke, indulge in light talk and dancing, extend greetings to old friends and new, and get acquainted in an atmosphere that couldn't possibly be created at mixers or open houses, where formality is the rule. Everything is informal, impromptu songs, shakes and silks, upperclassmen and freshman landlords—all there and having a good time. Need we say more?
Doris Johnson, who posed with Burns and Allen while in California this year, is one of the many who are endeavoring to create a Greenwich village effect on our campus. Doris came out in one of those long white gathered beer jackets with an inviting "ME" penned on one lapel and KKG on the other. It's all right to be tricky but why. Johnson
Something new: A lad of some height and screwy mouth and carry-ing the handle of Jake Ward. He sings and sings—not much music but personality galore. He captured the Cottage crowd with his rendition of "Jelly Roll Blues" and "Basin Street Blues," and from the way Red Burn-burn and Louie Kuhn were pumped him he'd say they were captured
Guests at the M.S.C. mixer Sunday afternoon were served with a goodly portion of weak punch and Hill politicians. The punch was weak because it is still some time until the first election comes around. The politicians were weak because they have had very little tutoring as yet. Judging from past events both should be plenty potent before long.
Preston Anderson quizzically reports the presence of identical signs tacked conspicuously on the front of Miller hall, reading, "Watch Your Step." All we can say, Mr. Anderson, is that it is possible that they anticipated your presence, and, as you know, it is that your ministry to safeguard as much possible the Innocents enrolled here.
The D.U.'s announcement that another one of their members. Alan "Diddle" Asher, has proved his worth and been admitted to the lowly order of O.P. & A.K. (Other Kinds of Andy Kidd). Kindle is a kind of humor for he has long been a gourmet at standing of the O.P. & A.K class.

Jane Coats, that Pi Phi gypsy from Wichita did her little bit as unofficial hostess, for Harry Friday afternoon, when she made the rounds in a pair of shacks, bandana shirt, and Mexican kerkhelf. Add McIntyre-que: much-ailkes, Coats and Els Maxwell of party fame.
Y.M.C.A. Holds Successful Frosh Mixer
Over a hundred freshman men attended what John L. Hunt, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A., termed "a most successful get-acquainted meeting" yesterday afternoon in the stage of the Memorial Union building.
Kalman Oravetz, c 40, member a, the varsity fencing team, and Otis Perkins, the e3p. demonstrated both the foil and the e3e. Oravitz was the first to total five points with the wrist with the e3e, with the wice, war the latter contested.
Harry, cuncl, and Earl, c39, Struckenbuck played in "Indie Love Call" and the chorus from "The Desert Song" on their musical saws. Paul Moritz, c39, president of the X.M.C.A., and Dove Woothee, c38, president of the Men's Student Council, welcomed the freshman men with brief talks about the department of speech and dramatic arts, read "Love 'Em an Leave 'Em" by J. B. Weaver.
Hunt presided at the mixer, following which punch was served. The meeting was sponsored jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and M.S.C.
Survey Plan Fades
The Wasserman survey which was to be added to the routine physical examination at the University this fall and which gained almost one hundred per cent student support in a poll taken last year will probably not be conducted this year.
Chances for Compulsory Wasserman Test This Year Are Small
possibility of such a survey appeared last Feb. 13 when Dr. R. I. Canuteston, director of the student health service, received word that the State Board of Health might obtain the co-operation of the U. S. Public Health Service and federal funds to make possible Wasserman tests, indicating the need for students on students at the University and at Kansas State College. Marshattah, if such surveys were authorized by the schools.
A questionnaire sent to five per cent of the students received 207 favorable replies out of 223 sent out. There were no negative reports and the 16 from whom answers could not be obtained either moved, withdrawn from school, or were dead.
Final decision on the survey is resting now with the Board of Resegents who are reported to be unfavorable to the plan, and is also dependent upon whether or not the funds are still available.
Students who so desire, however,
may voluntarily take free Wasserman tests at the Watkins student hospital. Facilities are such that from 75 to 100 tests could be given each week.
Hinaji Horiart, in final training to enter the Japanese diplomatic service, has registered at the University as a special student. He will take courses in English language and literature, and in American government. He is a graduate of the Imperial University of Japan, in Japan, and his previous education was in Nagoya, an industrial city of Japan.
Japanese Student Registers at University
Hattori is, the fifth candidate for the diplomatic service to be sent by the Japanese government to America for additional training in medical sciences. At the University of California also have students under this plan.
Announce New Survey Courses
P l a n Allows Students
To Gain General View:
Don't Need Specialized
Subjects To Fill Group
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who wish to take comprehensive courses in fields outside their major will be provided for this year in the new survey courses which are being offered today. In the past, the filling of groups has required the taking of a five-hour course in some specialized subject which was intended as a foundation course to provide the elements of the subject for persons later to become majors.
tended to major in some field such as political science, found that he was required to take a specialized course in one of four or five biological sciences in order to fulfill the five-hour group requirement. With the new series of survey courses now being offered the student may fulfil the group requirement by taking a general course which will provide him with a comprehensive view of each group.
many departments have offered these general courses in the past but this year the practice has been extended to include every field covered in the eight groups of the College curriculum.
The Newspaper in Society, in the department of journalism, is of interest, not only to the prospective reporter, but to persons whose connection with newspapers promises to be only that of readers.
The department of mathematics has provided a course in general college math, including some algebra, some trigonometry, and a little calculus. Geology offers a five-hour course, general in nature, which is not open to prospective majors of the department. Home economics 76 Standards of Living and Home Finance, is a general course.
Social science survey, coverin fundamentals in economics, politics science, and sociology, is somewh more elaborate in that it co-ordi

Registration Indicates Big Enrollment
Watkins Memorial Hospital
Over 1200 Students
Register Saturday; To
Continue Throughout
Today and Tomorrow
What promises to be one of the biggest enrollments in the history of the University of Kansas got under way Saturday, the first day of registration, when approximately 1230 persons went through the line during the scheduled time from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and was his impression that it was the largest first-day run there has ever been at the University.
Although increased enrollment is not a certainty, the pre-registration activity seems to indicate that Mt. Owens will have more persons than the greatest in the history of the university, and there seems to be a good chance that this record will be equalled this fall. Kansas' great wheat crop is believed to be one of the highest in the anticipated inflow, in numbers.
A record was broken Saturday in the number of new students taking the psychoelogical examinations when 1070 assembled in Hoch Auditorium to take the examination, making of 85 over last year's first-day gathering of 985 examinees.
Examinations Continued Today
The psychological examinations will be given again this afternoon at 2 o'clock for students late in entering the University. Enrollment is not considered complete until the examinations have been taken.
The examinations were started in 1923 by the department of psychology and were given by that department until 1932, when they were discontinued. They began again in 1933 and have been under the direction of Dr. A. H. Turney, of the School of Education, since that time.
Registration will be continued throughout today and tomorrow, and enrollment in classes will begin tomorrow and continue through Monday. Additional fee will be charged for late registration and enrollment.
Physical examinations for all new students will likewise be continued today, tomorrow and Wednesday, and an appointment for the examination will be made at the time of registration and should be kept promptly, as such examinations should precede enrollment.
The program for "Freshman Week" calls for certain exercises at which attendance is required.

Rushees Yelled In Last Night After Three Of Quiet and Successful Rushing; This Crop Nearly Equals Boom Year Harvest of
Three hundred and fifty-five rushes adorned their nets with a bit of metal last night and were "yelled" into ganizations of their choice, thus closing one of the quietest most successful rushing seasons in Mt. Oread history.
Almost equalling the number reached in the boom year of 1930 when 365 men were pledged, rush captains called off their men after capturing all but seven of the first-year men who registered for rush week activities. Last year 307 men were converted
