Tuesday.
There is nothing worse than breaking a date with a legitimate excuse and then slitting next to the "broken" date in the file. The consequence of this happened recently to a Pi Phi.
In the mail: "It isn't proper and right, there should be a law against it and besides this is a civilized country—so Acacia will be a good city. Build sidewalks on levels with second and third stories and the next time you feel the urge to go praising around your halls in your 'trail suits', for heaven's sake yank down the blind'-Sle -12."
This item was sent in anonymously but it could have come from Wattin Hall. We hope it does some good.
The A.T.O.'s are to be congratulated for their fine party or open house or whatever you call it, which they held last Friday night. There was a good crowd present and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Red Blackburn swore up and down that he was going to attend every class this year. But he couldn't even make his first one Thursday morning. Tad bad, to break such a fine resolution right at the beginning.
We won't say anything either about the four new students who fainted during their physical examinations.
Pledges from several fraternities have been seen in the joints around town this week-end. Such happenings probably won't be eneous on much loner.
A Fuller brush man accidentally got mixed in with the Delta Turtle pledges the other day when their pictures were being taken. We can't imagine such an innocent man getting mixed up with a wild bunch like that.
Dul Fischer, of D.U., made the serious mistake of rushing a D.U. alumnus during rush week.
High points at the variates. Charrir Hay, Kappa pledge, saying "hello" when she is "cut."
The speed with which things happen on the campus makes this column get entirely out of date at times. Last Friday morning, we told of Betty Lou McFarland and Lynn Field breaking up only to learn a few hours later that they were out reading poetry Thursday afternoon. How does Field do it, anyway?
A Thaetia active made a slip and told us of a certain plodge over there who has eyebrows that are pure white. But you have eyebrows that are brown because they are dyed dark brown.
Saevoiotis, Beta, and Dorothy Fry, Theta, carried on a voluminous correspondence this summer. It is said that she has written to several of his letters. A line from one letter will show you why: "I never saw anything in life till now with our lives, I know there are so many."
Harry. McFarland, Sigma Chi, and Evelyn Lima, Kappa, who went together before they came to K.U., are again looking at the moon. Her recent boy friend isn't in school this semester. Enough ought to be enough, Harry.
We would like to end our little sojourn as the writer of this column with some examples from a book he wrote, about "Jug Head" (there is a meaning back of that name) Wood. But some nasty ideas which he has in his head might their way to this column.
Men's Intramurals to Begin Oct. 1
Competition in intramural athletics for men will begin about October first.
Entrie blank for touch football, team hand-ball, team teams, and team horseshoes will be sent on Monday to all organized houses. All students not affiliated with any university or office room, 105. Robinson gymnasium, where they will be organized into teams.
Hargiss Believes Freshman Squad Is Best in Years
All - American Guard From Notre Dame Is Inspiration for All Lightweights
"The squaw looks like one of the best in years," Coach Bill Hargiss commented as the freshman squaw went through its initial workout Friday afternoon. Spectators agreed, after one look at number-10 husked squabs scattered among the arena.
Eighty freshmen have checked out suits and Coach Hargiss expects the number to be increased in the next few days.
As yet, Coach Hargis has not had much of a chance to get a line on just how good the men are, but on the basis of appearances he said that they seem to be large enough and smart enough to make good football players.
Many Huskies Report
Among the 80 men who reported were a surprising number of huckles who looked as though they would tip the scales at right around 200 pounds. In addition, it was revealed by Coach Harps that the scholastic record of the huckles
Only a little time will be devoted to drilling the fresh in fundaments as it is necessary to instruct them in offensive and defensive formations to use in scrimmaging the vinnity. The Notre Dame system will be worked on espacially, but there are opponents, Notre Dame, St. Benedict and Michigan State use that system. Coach Hargis wants all of the squad members to feel that they have a chance. For the lilhager men, there is inspiration in remembering that Bert Mötger of Notre Dame was an All-American guard three or four years ago, although he played well against opponents who have overcome the handicap of lack of weight to become iridium stars.
Entire List Is Given

All new students of the University will gather about the fire basket on old North College hill, west of Corbin hall next Wednesday at 7 o'clock for the twelfth annual new student induction services.
Bv John Malone, c'unel
Services are held at the beginning of each year to acquaint new students with the school's tradition of the school—a ceremony designated to bring the new student into the classroom.
It was at this same spot, on a high hill overlooking the long spread of the Kaw valley, that a small band of Massachusetts pioneers in 1854 encamped for the night. Gathering about the campfire that evening, the settlers talked at哄着 out a town. Someone else planned to lay plans for a college. It was far into the night before they came to talk of a college and withdrew to their wagons.
Induction Services Will Acquaint Students With University Customs

Identification Cards To Be Used This Year
Continuance of System Result of Success
Lost Year
STUDENT PARKING COMMITTEE
ISSUES 165 LICENSE PERMITS
Last year the use of the identification card, in connection with the activity ticket, was introduced and proved so successful that its use will be continued this year.
Last Year
Photographs were taken of each student when he was registered, and these will be stored in a secure location. Identification card, with the activity book, will be given to the student when it is returned.
The card was recommended two years ago by the central activity book administrator, and the administration of the compulsory activity ticket introduced two years ago. After passing both counts, it was adopted in the form in which it was used last
The card itself is useful to the student as a means of identification at all times. It is used also as a ticket of admission, as there are no coupons in the activity book except for football games and draughts; in the activity book, for in previous years, the exchange of activity books has cut down the sale of tickets to outsiders. The identification card alone will admit to the lectures, concerts, and debates; however, it must be presented with the attendance or admittance to football games and races.
Licenses were issued to students living at a distance from the campus and to students physically disabled.
The student parking committee issue
185 student parking licenses at a meeting
held yesterday mttring. Only a few of
those who applied were refused.
Four sets of pictures were made. One is pasted on the identification card, one goes to the registrar for the student transcript, another to the adviser of men or women, and the last to the dean of law in which the student is majoring.
If the identification card is lost, the student must make an application for a new one. After proof has been furnished that his card has been lost, he will receive a new one by paying the cost of having it made. The cards are num- bers and they can be given to library books, and the student should carry his card with him at all times.
Students may get their identification cards Thursday and Friday, Sept. 28 and 27, in the northwestern corner of Central Administration lobby from 9:00 to 10:30 on Thursday, and students from 1 to 1500 will be given on Thursday, and those above 1500 will be given out Friday. The student must present his activity book to secure a card. After Friday, identification cards will be given room 1, Administration building.

Induction services will begin
promptly at 7. Students will gather
around the Mortar Board fire basket,
in which will be kindled a fire, represent-
ing a fire suppression system.
Later the college quarters were outgrown and the campus moved to the present location.
Clyde Nichols, senior cheerleader, will have charge of the program. A student leader, assisted by both glee clubs, will sing the songs of the University. When the singing is finished, F. E. Melvin, professor of history, will speak briefly on the significance of the fire and fire brigade in the university, and recount the influence of the

As David Starr Jordan once said, "Wisdom is simply known what to do next. Consider faith. You've got to believe in faith. We'd have anarchy if we didn't follow out faith. Burning faith is one condition of overcoming People. People step aside for people who know where they are going."

Out of these, more than 800 alone. Eleven million of this group are "more or less" employed and 8 million are neither employed nor in school. "Students who are in the lucky million should realize their opportunities and make the most of them," he

Members Will Be Admitted After a Probation of One Year
Dramatic Club Adopts New System for Tryouts
Last year's enrollment totaled 3,962,291, or 7 per cent, less than this year. Mary Lou Oliver, a graduate of Westport High School in Kansas City, was the last person to enroll.
ALL BUT TWO COUNTIES REPRESENTED
When tabulation books were closed last night at 5 o'clock an enrollment lacking only one of the highest record ever attained for the first week at the University had been counted. Four thousand two hundred and fifty-three students had enrolled in comparison with 4,254, the record number, enrolled after the first week in 1930.
Typouts for the fall dramatic productions will be held Monday and Tuesday afternoon in the little theater in the building, a student in the University is eligible.
This year a new system of admission into the club is being tried. Instead of admitting members immediately after tryouts in the fall, membership will be withheld until the dramatic season is ended in the spring.
Last year the club gass one production, the successful "Double Door," which was directed by Mary Myers and sponsored by a sponsor all-one student major production and will also promote a program of one-act plays, which will be pre-produced in the classroom throughout the school year. In this way students in the playwriting class, taught by Mr. Crafton, will be offered a chance for production of their own
In this way it is hoped that a strong organization consisting of those who have shown interest and commendable work in actual dramatics will be built up.
Thirty members of the club have returned to school. Robert Cunningham, president, predicts a much heavier dreariness at the show, and asks that only those sincerely interested in some phase of the theater appear at the trystoy on Monday and Tuesday.
Judges for the tryouts will be Professor Allen Crafton, Professor Robert Calderow, and Mary Myers Elliott.

Miss Swarthout Returns
Daughter of Dean Swarthout Completes Three Year's European Study
Evelyn Sworth, daughter of Dean and Mrs. D. M Sworth, returned to college after years' study of advanced piano in London under Tobias Mathay, the famous composer.
Miss Swarthout is planning to return to New York during the holiday season for the remainder of the year. She will play a special recital at the meeting of the Music Teachers' National Association in Philadelphia, and at the University Illinois sometime. She received the award of sums degree in 1923, and studied two music under Guy Maier before going to London.
Upper Classes Show Increase
are on the Hill, and 239 are enrolled in the Medical School at Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City.
Interesting among early observations is the fact that there is a substantial increase in the percentage of enrollment in the upper classes, as related to the increase in the freshman class.
There are 80 more freshmen this year than last and 226 more upper-classman. The only decrease noted in the upper classes is in the advanced standing section. The total increase is thoroughly distributed over all other
Unusually large increases are noted in the School of Pharmacy and the School of Law, with increases of 22 and 10 in the schools respectively.
College Takes One-Half Gain
The College took one-half of the total gain over last year, with 150 students enrolled in Engineering and Architecture; 82; Graduate, one; Fine Arts, 30. The School of Education lost eight and the School of Medicine all lost three.
It was reported unofficially that 105 of the 105 counties in the state are represented in the University, representing a gain of three counties over last year. The only county lost this year was Kearney, which sent four students here last year. New counties represented are Hamilton with one, Haskell and two, Mckinley and Trego, five. A large number of students are coming from the northwestern part of the state this year than ever before.
Thirty-five states other than Kansas and seven foreign countries have students in the University this year. States which were not represented last year are Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas; Maryland, Virginia, Vermont and West Virginia. There are 44 students enrolled from New York, 11 from Massachusetts and several hundred from Missouri. When John Tempkov was graduated last year, the University lost Bulgaria from representation. However, Russia has been added. Anna Klassen Neuert, a German student, Students also have come from Hawaii, Canada, the Philippines, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Cuba.
Increase at Missouri
The Columbia Missouriian predicts that late enrollment will result an attendance approaching and possibly surpassing the record of 4051 established in the fall of 1929 at Missouri University. The School of Agriculture is making the greatest advance with a new data gain, according to incomplete figures.
At Oklahoma, officials are considering increasing the number of the faculty in order to take care of an unparalleled number of cases were for the largest enrolment in history. A number of classes were filled before the first enrolment day was over. Fifty-six hundredstudents from the University of Oklahoma last year.
Reports from Stillwater, Oklahoma, are that a new 10-day record for enrollees will be released to more students to enroll. Complete figures for the record year of 1930-31 were 3,958. The School of Commerce was leading in enrollment with 754, enrollees.
Washubh College at Tepeka reports a record enrollment of more than 850, while Friends College in Wichita shows a 5 percent increase.
