VOLUME XXXIV
Early Returns Point to New High In Enrollment
Registrations amounting to over 4,000, according to observers' estimates, virtually assured a record enrollment for the University of Kansas. Last year* total of 4,256 established a new all-time mark.
Seventy-five additional roaming houses have registered over last year's number. Over 4,000 copies of the K-book were distributed until it was sold by the time they entered town and campus generally indicated the increase in registration.
Official figures including the enrollment in the medical school in Kansas City and the several schools on the campus will not be released until Saturday, but it is reasonably certain that a new high will be achieved.
"The University invites you to wake up and live" was the theme of Chancellor E. H. Lindley's to incoming freshmen last night at the auditorium.
The improved Kansas wheat crop, increase in CSEP jobs and the betterment of general business conditions are due to the large number of students on Mt. Oreal
Chancellor Lindley warned the class of 1940 that their freshman year would be their hardest, and told them to abrupt change in their habits of living.
"There will be much confusion in your lives for a while, and there will be new habits formed. Conquer every task you come up against for one month and stay loyal to the habits you form and you will succeed," he said.
Dr. Lindley told the group that, while their intelligence quotients meant more to them than anything else, "The interest which you take in your work will have just as much bearing on whether you will succeed or not, and natural ability to learn," he told them.
'Wake Up and Live,' Says Chancellor Lindley To Confused Frosh
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1936
The Chancellor closed his speech by advancing the four main points in life. These points were, work, play, love and worship, and he explained how these four points in their proper proportions led to a more abundant living.
The meeting was closed with the singing of the Alma Mater and the Rock Chalk.
Chancellor Lindley set forth a list of things which were important in life and told the freemen that if they envisioned what would be able to get more out of life.

Well, rush week turned out rahede for fraternity activities. There seem to be very few hard feelings and no pugilistic contests have been reported. Maybe the boys were so bothered with 'hang-over head' from pre-romish parties in Kansas City that they were waived as being impossible. At least all of the boys seemed pleased with their new lodgers.
One of the Phi Gam boys took an awful boating the other evening. He called a young friend of his in Kansas City asking her to make a purchase for him and bring it to lawrence when she came that evening. The girl arraigned himself, but more innocent than the lad had expected she brought two pints of rubbing alcohol which they tell me, i never used at the Phi Gam house.
It is often hard to tell whether some freshmen are clever on the come-back or just innocent and dumb. One girl broke all records at Miller's the other evening when asked if she wanted a pale. Her answer was "Oh no, I must be clever." If you question whether doubt or clever, the girl in question should have no trouble shooting par with Charlie Hay of the Kappa house.
Two or three freshmen hearing of the meetings in the auditorium Monday night appeared in formal gowns. They

The Emancipated Freshmen
The emancipation of the freshman class at this University needs only the abrogation of the ancient Greek-house customs of subservience to senior members and enforced study hours to be complete.
Two strides have been made in the direction of increased freedom for the greenhorn which open to him a greater realm of unmolested locomotion than is enjoyed by the freshman class at almost any other American university. These strides bear description and should be thoroughly understood and guarded jealously in order that, unless some organizations with medieval conceptions of discipline and the self-appointed "guardsmen" of our traditions insist successfully to the contrary, this newly-granted freedom will not be evanescent.
In an unforeseen move last October, the K-Club, organization of University men athletes, passed a resolution relinquishing all of its duties as custodian of freshman traditions. With that relinquishment went paddling and all other forms of hazing. Since that time there has been no physical means of forcing freshmen to wear the famous cap with its colored buttons and 12-inch ribbons . . . the universal college symbol of the first-year man student.
Nothing can make a freshman wear a cap, now that the power behind the tradition is gone, except the will of the student to perpetuate that tradition. Superficially, it seems a silly thing to mark oneself so conspicuously as a member of the first-year class . . . to wear a cap which epitomizes all those figurative estimates of the freshman; buck teeth champing a straw, the unemfortableness of the shoes he is wearing for the first time, comical pseudo-sophistication.
For the first time in University history the freshman class has more than illusory political power. It will be represented on the Men's Student Council equally with the other classes. Heretofore the freshman president had a seat and the power to offer his suggestions in the Council, but he had no vote. Now he has the vote and the power to influence materially the government of student affairs. By using that vote wisely he can insure the continuance of the same measure of freedom and power for succeeding classes.
But really, it's not at all a shallow tradition. A freshman is a greenhorn and some of his antics are comical . . . and everybody loves a freshman because he is that way. He's a novice serving his apprenticeship in a workshop of opportunity. He should be justly proud of that fact . . . proud that he has the "guts," the intelligence, and the opportunity to stick it out. He should be proud of his cap. Everybody else is. The wearing of freshman caps is a tradition that does not need to be enforced. It will live by its own merit.
The freshman must no longer suffer the humiliation of the paddle. Consequently he must bear a greater responsibility to the University. It is hoped he will use the privileges that until now have been reserved to the maturer students only to a good advantage.
Law Graduates Highest in Bar Exam
University of Kansas School of Law graduates this year received the highest grades in the Oklahoma state bar examination. Miss Darlene Anderson T36, received the highest grade Dwight Olda, T32, tied for second high grade
Miss Anderson and Mr. Olds were the only two Kansas graduates who took the examination. Miss Anderson was the only woman graduated from the school last year. She received her degree in February.
Chancellor K. H. Lindsley has just received an early copy of "Half Way With Roosevelt," by his son, Ernest Kidder Lindley, Washington correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune. The book is dedicated to Chancellor and Governor Kidder, who wrote when the author was in Topok wavering activities of Governor Landon
Old had passed the Kansas bar and while in school had been a member of the Order of Coat. At present he is a professor of the moment of the Shell Petroleum company.
During her senior year Miss Anderson held the Herbert S. Hadley scholarship. She was made a member of the Order of the Colf. At present she is connected in the legal department with the National automobile company at Bartlesville, Okla.
The Lindley books are accepted as particularly accurate reports of the facts of the Roosevelt administration.
Chancellor Lindley Receives Copy of Son's Book
This is the third book on Roosevelt written by Mr. Lindley, who was Alaskan correspondent for the old New York world when Roosevelt was Governor of New York. The first book is biography, and the second was "The Roosevelt Revolution," written after Roosevelt's Roosevelt had been in office or a year.

"That is the reason you have not taken kindly to federal interference with your lives. Your rich lands are capable of producing much more than they have been permitted to. Why shouldn't they have a defense against us? And why has the market been thrown away for even your present crop?"

Ed Phelps and Tom McCall To Be Frosh Mentors
Reception at various churches, 8 23
The announcement of the appoint-ment of Tommy McCall and Edwin Heils as assistants to Freshman Coach James Haskins, the football staff of the University.
Tommy McCall, a Lawrence boy, made a name for himself in the Big Six as an expert place kicker, doing all of the Jayhawks kicking during the years he played his regular position as guard. He first lettered in Boston before returning to Ohio, where he returned to the gridiron in 1934, and laved his last year in 195%.
Phelps, also a Lawrence boy, played his high school football at Leavenworth. In 1933, as a sophomore, he

played a good deal of the time at his position as center, making a letter. He lettered again in 1934 and held down the regular center position in 1935. The training staff responded to wonders of the water player football man, Clyde (Trao) Moore and Ewyn Dees. These men help the varsity coaches, Ad Lindsey and Mike Gate, as well as Bill Hogues and his freshman.
Recent months have been characterized by an almost complete reversal in the number of teacher appointments, the number of teachers, dean of the School of Education.
Plenty of Places For School Teache
However two and three years ago only slightly above 100 candidates for teaching positions could be located through the University Teacher Placement Bureau, the last months have been characterized by an unusual demand for teachers.
It is estimated that to date approximately two hundred and fifty teachers have been placed in positions through the Placement Bureau. The demand has been unusually heavy in the fields of commerce, music, arts and science, also a demand for teachers of English and for teachers of Latin who were prepared to teach this language in combination with other subjects. This was also true in the field of physical education for women. There has also been a marked demand for teachers of mathematics and science who can coach or handle manual training.
An encouraging tendency toward larger salaries in the teaching field was also noted by Dean Schwegler. There is reason to believe, he says, that if the present trend continues, a growing number will be available and compensation offered to competent, well trained candidates will continue to improve.
Ninety Musicians Chosen to Play in Band
Approximately 90 men have been selected for the University of Kansas concert band by Russell L. Wiley, director of the program, and will complete, will contain about 100 men.
The first rehearsal of the 1956-37 group was held last night as the first appearance of the organization is scheduled for the Freshman Induction services tomorrow night. The band will appear Friday at the Convocation Day Friday at the opening convention.
"The additional students probably will necessitate the purchase of a few more instruments and uniforms," Professor Wiley said today, "but we intend to spare nothing to make this year's group of students more comfortable at the University. If any students interested in playing have not yet contacted me, I still am conducting tryouts."
Mrs. Frank Parker Says Plenty of Rooms Available to Students
The rumor that there is a shortage of rooms for students seems to be unfounded, according to reports from the university. The office of the women's student adviser
According to Mrs. Frank Parker, who is in charge of the listings of rooms for men students, there are 75 more houses listed this year than there were last year, and although many houses are full, there are still plenty of rooms within reasonable distance of the campus which are available.
Information from the office of the adviser to women disclosed that there would be an adequate number of rooms to take care of all of the woman desiring rooming houses for women listed this year than there was last year.
St. John, Newfoundland, Sept. 11 (UP)- The $30,000 monoplane "Lady Peace", in which Harry Richman and Dick Derrick crashed in a bog on their return flight from England, was dragged out of a swamp to a beach tonight by a large crew of fishermen. The men worked strenuously throughout the day and finally succeeded in loading the craft out of the ruins.
Rescue Crew Nears Atlantic Flyers' Crash
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and his crew of five men were nearing the Mugnuez Harbor with repairs and repairs expected to reach Richmond tomorrow.
The plane was in good condition and wil probably be able to resume its flight Thursday.
Rumors of friction between Richman and Merrill were told by villagers in the vicinity who reported that Merril had said that only a "blunder prevented us from reaching New York instead of where we are now."
First Campus Dramatic Production Will Be Nov.
Four dramatic productions will be offered by the department of speech and dramatic art this year on a plan similar to that followed last season. Date for the first attraction has been announced, the title to be announced shortly.
Student activity tickets will admit to all of the stage presentations, one of which will be a road company production by the famous Jinney Players who pleased Kansas audiences so much that八四 four attractions will sell at one dollar.
Rolla Nuckles, who for the past few years has been connected with theatrical work in New York, has been added to the dramatic staff this year.
Occupying almost as important a part in the dramatic program as the legitimate productions is the announcement of a year long series of radio plays written from Kansas history to be presented a regular season at the University radio station KFKU. Students selected from the entire University will constitute a company for the radio series. Announcement of tryouts will be made later.
The sketches over the air will run in a chronological order from the settlement of the state to a recent date.

The Chancellor then asks the representative of the class of 1940 to kneel before him while he places a freshman cap on his head; other freshmen mop do likewise.
