1 Special Registration Issue UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV NUMBER Officials Predict Large Enrollment University officials yesterday expressed the belief that the fall enrollment figure may equal the all-time high set at the University a year ago. Geo. O. Foster, registrar, has granted permits to register to nearly 800 freshmen, an increase of 700 before previous years. Advanced transcripts are coming in at about the same rate as last year. Registration of Ower 4,000 Students Begins Today; Monday Is First Enrollment Day LAWRENCE, KANSAS,SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1937 The bumper wheat harvest in on portions of the state will lead equalize any decrease in the entailment of Kansas students due to the one-third fee increase for state students. Curtailment of C.S.E.P. funds will make it impossible for many students to return. The increase in University fees for out-of-state students will, in the opinion of Mr. Foster, cut down on the number of students enrolling and reduce the fees for this class of students have been doubled over last year. All enrollment records of the University were broken last year for the fall term when the number exceeded 4,600 students, with more than twice as many men enrolled as women. Officials expressed doubt that they would exceed the number of last year but believe that it will not drop greatly.

Fraternities Begin Rushing Activities Registration of 2.87 Rushes Indicates Good Year for Greek Lodges; "Yelling In" Sunday Men's rush week got officially under way yesterday morning with 287 rushes registered at the desk in the main lounge of the Memorial Union building by 8 p.m. This number indicates that the fraternities will pledge a fairly large number of men, but the total will probably not approach the record made in 1958 when the first three were converted into Greeks. Last year 307 men became members of the several fraternities. On Thursday night most of the organization entertained prospective members at parties held at various strategic points near Lawrence, in order that they might move the men into the houses as soon as possible and not break the rule set by the Pan-Hellenic Council which states that no rushee may enter a fraternity house until midnight of the Thursday of rush week Kansas City, Topoka, and Tonganoxie were selected as party spots by most of the fraternities. By last night most of the potential Greeks had decided to which organization they would join their allegiance, but for those who have not yet made up their minds, rush week will continue for two more days, today and Sunday. The final event of the entire affair will be the "pelling in" ceremonies on Sunday night at each of the houses. Each rushee must register his own dates and he must keep the first date with every fraternity with which he registers dates. Each fraternity must have any rushee available within 10 minutes after a representative of another group calls for the rushee Failure to do so will subject the fraternity having the date to a fine of $50. In previous years the registration desk has closed immediately after the dates are registered, but this time it will remain open throughout rush week and serve as an information bureau for the rushees. According to O. J. Connell, 138, president of the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council, complete pledge lists of the organizations will be available or applied to them and they will appear in a special edition of the Kansu Monday morning. The committee which will hear controversies and determine fines for infringement of rules has not yet been forced to function. The group is headed by Henry F. Werner, men's student adviser, and is composed of O. J. Connell, '138; Steve Houston, '139; and Proctor Ritchie, 'e39. A second stained glass window has just been installed in the colonial exhibit room of Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art. It is the gift of Mrs. Sarah G. Martin, who with her daughter, Miss Silky Martin, presented the first window, in which she was painted by Helen Hardman Martin, Lawrence lawyer, and formerly vice-governor of the Philippines. Spooner-Thayer Museum Receives Second Window The first window used as central theme a picture of Socrates, and the quotation, "No evil can happen to good man, in life, or after death. The second window featured Plato, with a number of minor characters surrounding the central one, and the quotation from Praeado, "Let a man be of good cheer, who has adorned his soul in temperance and justice, courage, nobility and truth." Both windows are the workmanship of Charles J. Comnick of Boston. Greetings From the Chancellor To New and Old Students: Welcome to the University at the beginning of what promises to be an suspicious year! You new students will find yourselves, figuratively speaking, in a large city. The University, in part, is a city invisible. Do not be discouraged if you have difficulty at first in finding your way. Thousands before you have found it a fair place to dwell and to work. I hope each one of you will enjoy a most happy year on Mt. Oread. With every good wish, I am Faithfully yours, E. H. LINDLEY, Chancellor Inaugurate Advisory Plan Student Advisers Offer To Help Freshmen Learn of University For the first time in the history of the University, a freshman student advisory system for both men and women will be inaugurated this fall. Similar systems have been used on other campuses throughout the country and have proven their worth. All freshman women will meet at 8 o'clock this morning with their 50 advisors in the Memorial Union building. Present plenary speakers include an advisor and to have small group meetings from time to time throughout the day. school year. The advisors will all have women selected at random from the entire group, and a picnic for all freshman women and their advisors Both men and women advisors or councilors have been selected for their high scholastic standing and are students who are well known on the campus. The advisory groups are made up almost entirely from members of the junior and senior classes. The purpose of this advisory system is to give the new students advisory information about the following subjects: history of the University; economics; sports teams; distribution of time; how to study; intramural athletics; varsity athleticism, social and extra-curricular activities; fraternities and sororites; student government; room management; and tradition of the University. The freshman men will meet on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. There are 110 men advisors and they will meet from six to eight men. Meetings will be held at 10 and 11 o'clock in the mornings at 2, 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoons. The meets will last one hour. Although this system is new on the campus, both Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor to women, and Henry F. Werner, a student admitting law school, will serve in theice to the new students and that the results will be highly satisfactory. Meetings for the men will be held in the Pine Room, the old Sour Owl office and the old book exchange office in the Memorial Union building. Also, rooms 5, 9, 10, 134, 110 in the Administration building. The WSGA book exchange, under the management of Miss Edith Borden, will open its business of buying and selling used textbooks Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The exchange will open operations this year in new and enlarged quarters in the sub-basement of the Union building The exchange has moved into the space formerly occupied by the Sour Owl office and the offices of Bill Cochrane. Two service windows are now available, one on the north and one on the west. Book Exchange To Open Thursday Many changes have been made in the Memorial Union building during the summer season and the notable increase in facilities for student affairs is expected to make it more accessible at a center of University activity. The Women's Self Governing Association first established a student book exchange in 1916 which was conducted in Fraser Hall. This is the second year the exchange him and over the management of Miss Borden. Computations under the new NYA regulations indicate that the University will have about 315 students on College Student Employment Projects this year, as compared with the 720 of last year. Students who possess textbooks which will be used again this semester may sell or exchange them to students. Students who attend them at the exchange to be sold. CSEP Quota Is Reduced Revamped Regulations Indicate Positions Open For Only 315 Probably the state of Kansas will be apportioned 150 more jobs specifically for the drought area, and it is hoped that this institution will receive some of this additional grant. Summer Brings Increased Facilities To Student Center, The Memorial Union Not only was the percentage of places allowable cut from 12 to 8 per cent, but the base was further reduced by elimination of students taking four-thirds of those students taking three-fourths full program as of October, 1936. Changes have occurred both in the management and in facilities ranging from the building of a Women's recreation room in the sub-basement to the new ventilating system in the ballroom. Last year there was a 100 per cent increase in CSEP jobs at the University, as all the counties in Kansas were in the drought area. Jack Townsend, b39, as assistant manager, is replacing Bolt Cochrane who was student manager and is in charge of all Union activities. Townsend is working with Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the University food service, in keeping the university running smoothly. Miss Zipple came to the University last year from the University of Washington where she was Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary on the CSKP committee for the U.S. Council on Science job assignments will be ready during the week of September 13 to 18 Fees are payable at the Business office on the first floor of the Administration building within seven miles will be assessed for late payment. washington where she was assistant director of dining halls and an instructor in home economies. Probably the most significant improvement in the building is the addition of the Women's recreation room which occupies the space formerly used by the book exchange. The room has been enlarged by cutting down the size of a storeroom on the east and making the two rooms into one large room in the west. The room has been made and which has been decorated in blue, pale green and orange colors. In an effort to stimulate interest among women in billiards the Brunswick Balke Collender Co. has given the Union a new solid marketing arm. The team will be placed in the women's room.

O. Foster, registrar. "Valuable announcements from the University administration and instructors are printed for the information of each individual student. Announcements as to athletic events, lectures, plays, concerts, other events, hours of various student organizations, holidays, etc. are printed daily."

The Kansan is the searchlight that clears the fog of University confusion. And another thing, the student who figures he or she will be able to borrow a Kansan is just commencing with the wrong premise. The student may bring and from the instant it is delivered to the front door each morning, it is in possession of the owner. It is read while dressing, while eating breakfast, on the way up the Hill; it is used for dining, the arch of interest in the 8-30 class. Besides, most students want to keep their Kansan. No other organ brings you a more graphic record of your year at school. Many times during the year, your name will probably appear. If it's a nice notice, you'll want to send it to the folks. (Extra copies can be purchased at the Kansan business office.) At any rate, buy the Kansson for a year at the small price of $3 a year, and enjoy your days in the University to the fullest.
