On Enrolling . . . a Senior Praises the Campus . . . Bagby Has a New Admirer . . . Horace Had His Pitcher Took . . . Thesea and Thosea
It is with great amusement that we gaze at the enroller-uppers as they go about their various duties which with the aid of advisers, Zeus, and a few other important people will land them back in school again so they'll have some new courses to gripe about. In years to come, everyone will greatly miss Merrill Bradley, the perennial hunter for freshman courses.
We hope to find quite a number of little things like the following from profs who are good enough to help a starving columnist along. From a senior's final paper comes: "The University of Kansas has a repitation for having a very beautiful campus as compared with other campuses in the United States, but are we going to live on that repituation and let our campus graduate decorate?" Then too, she sat in the Union drinking coke and tearing her hair after a final, replied that she had spent about an hour writing pages and pages on the wrong question.
Just before vacation, Mary Lou Baghy at the Theta house received a surprise in the form of a letter from a small town in Ohio. The correspondent who sees was an adder admirant who had seen Mary Louis's pictures in the local paper as honorary colonel of our army and just couldn't resist writing and telling her how swell she looked, etc. Incidentally, he added that he had quite a number of "writing acquaintances."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1002
♦ ♦ ♦
"Twas with great and fiendish glee that we chanced upon a group of the three-for-a-dime pictures in a book belonging to Hectic Horace Hedges and did Horace look a dear!
We found out how Hark Miller who has been called at various times Red Blackburn's Sawed-Off Soloist, trains his Crossbish voice. In fact, perhaps it should be called a liquid voice since he walked into a store downtown the other night carrying a selter bottle in his arms like a new-born babe. Bet he had lots of fun squirting it hither and yon.
One of the boys at the Union foundation told us a good one the other day . . . and does it speak for the intellectual coed. The gal in question—practically a college senior—was sitting with her date in the Blue Miin. The girl came a lad, paid, and started playing. She says the gal's guier, "There goes one of the Summerfield scholars." Says the guier's gel, "MiGawd, that must be a big family!"
We've been looking for a little this and that about Lil "Diamond-Quality" Sands and we were reminded of a little incident of last year. Lil was in a sociology class of about fifty studios and when her name was called in the first class, up she jumps on the back row and in a meek voice screams "Present." Says the proof: "Well, you won't be hard to remember!"
Theaea and Theses: We hear of Elizabeth Shearer of Jayhawk and Arizona state pen fame who went to Columbia for the holidays, went to the Theta and Phi Delt parties, and stayed at the Pi Phi house. Just a little touch of Pan Hel... sounds funny to hear great big bold university students having a relapse in college and wounding "if I passed." ... glad that Bill Ramsay will be back in school. Powell Aubrey refuses to think it's funny because Nancy Calhoun is in safety her home town nursing a case of mescales all her own
Baldwin Man Injured in Wreck

Sutton of Baldwin received severe cuts in the face at 8:35 last night when his motorcar accident with a truck at Eightfall and Massachusetts street caused his companion, whose death was not obtained, suffered slight injuries.

Cast for "Yankee Crusader" Selected By Allen Crafton
Next Kansas Players Production to Portray Life in Kansas Territory in '50's
"Yankee Crusade" a play of early Kansas, to be presented by the Kansas players at Fraser theater the evenings before the final week of rehearsals.
When the curtain rises on the play next Monday evening the audience will be taken back into the atmosphere of the '50s, to the days when stunck New Englanders, Carolinians and pioneering Hoosiers, pro-slavery Southerners and "biled shirt" eastern abolitionists" engaged in the physical and spiritual struggle who went into the making of the free state of Kansas.
While the spirit of those times mark the play, it was not written as an attempt at a factual portrayal of specific incidents or characters. The men and women who play the roles, play them as represented by the Kansas Territory, rather than as particular outstanding men and women in the state's history.
Proft. Allen Crafton, who wrote the play, designed the scenery, and is directing the production, plays the part of a "Red Leap." Prof. Robert Calderwood portrays the character of a gentleman from Boston, a man sent out by the Emigrant Aid Society. Mrs. Craffton appears as a Hoosier woman who came to Kansas with her husband who "they drew blood in their hand." Allen carries the part of a young woman from South Carolina. The remainder of the cast of 26 characters is made up of University students and theater assistants.
The complete cast as announced by Professor Crafton is as follows:

Reorganization Plans Of CSEP Are Under Way
7 7
Shake-up in Work Projects May Close Library at 9 o'Clock
Nothing definite has been reached as to what will be the changes in the personnel of the CSEP for the spring semester, although Miss Mary C. Olsen, executive secretary of the CSEP office, and assistants are engaged in checking grades of former employees in applications of position when employing them. The people who will be known as soon as this work is completed. A tentative list of workers whose grades were slightly below the 1.3 required grade average are on probation. This list is composed mainly of freshmen and new students. Miss Olson said this was to give these students more than a semester so that they could ad-
A Federal Inspector To Lawrence
A definite shake-up in work projects is to be made. A possible effect of the change in CSEP will be the closing of the library at 9 o'clock. Library closing hours were changed to 10 o'clock this fall only after CSEP help had been added. C. M. Baker, director of the library, said yesterday that the library will continue to remain open until 10 o'clock until the end of the month and its inspector will be in Lawrence the end of the month to investigate the set-up of the present CSEP program at the University.
The restrictive principles recently laid down in Washington prohibit certain types of work now under way under authority of the earlier broad policy of the government. These principles definitely preclude regularly maintained routine jobs such as clerical work, general utility assistance, equipment repair, and the like, regardless of the fact that this work man not be provided for *j*

New Enrolling Plan Proves Successful, Says Dean Lawson
Simplicity and Abolishing of Long Lines Features of Present Arrangement
The main features of the new enrollment plan, simplicity and the abolishing of long lines, were described last night by Dean Paul B. Lawson, dean of Colleges of Liberal Arts, an working factiority in the first day's enrolment.
Under the new arrangement, said Dean Lawson, major cards have been abolished, so that now the student merely fills out his registration blank and presents it to his adviser, then to the chairman of his class group.
G. W. Smith, professor of mathematics, chairman of the enrollment reorganization committee, said the new floor plan drew favorable comment from students and teachers.
Student guides, prominently ribboned, offer help to the new student or individual baffled by the simplicity of the new plan.
Students Like New Plan
"Quite satisfactory" was the comment of the deen when asked how the first day's work had gone. He said no students had to wait in lines for anything like the time they did under the former system and put the maximum delay in line at half an hour.
The 300 or more students who took advantage of the pre-employment plan are directed to the business office for their fees record. Dean Lawson said they could proceed then to pay their tuition and incidentals as if they had just come from Robinson gymnasium. Late enrollment will follow the usual schedule Saturday morning, Feb. 9. The late enrollment费 is $2.50.
Only a few courses were reported closed when all students filed out last evening. Dean Lawson estimated the number at not more than a dozen sections.
No Check on Number Enrolled
The College office has no check on the number of students who enrolled yesterday. One of the guides placed the number at about 1000, and added that it seemed "like a million." Late last night the first tabulations were to be made, according to Dean Lawson.
Psychological examinations will be given all new students at 2:30 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 8, in Fraser theater, second floor of Fraser Hall, where all full students entering the University for the first time, except those taking graduate work.
The schedule for enrollment today:
8:30-10:00 J.K.L
10:30-11:50 A.J.C-
11:50-1:50 E.F.M.X
3:40-4:50 D.N.R,U
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS WILL BE HELD NEXT FRIDAY
Psychological examinations will be given to all new students, except graduate students, on Friday, Feb 8, at 2:30 o'clock in Fraser Theater.
All those who are to take the examination are urged to be on time. Those who miss the examination will be notified of their failure in not taking it and will be expected to report at an appointed hour to take it.
Plans for the organization of rules governing sororities on the University campus are now being prepared by a judicialry committee appointed by Dean Agnes Husband at the request of women students at the University.
Sororities Face Change To Equalize Membership
When several sororities announced this fall that they were in serious danger of being closed down, a meeting of representatives from each women's organization and an adviser of each group, met with Dean Husband discuss the
WHERE are there several houses on the Hill too crowded for comfort, other houses are not filled. The committee is attempting to work out a quota system,
whereby the number of members belonging to each group will be equalized. The committee is tundying quota systems that have been successful on other campuses. The Women's Pan Hellenic Council has suggested two possible ways whereby membership may be equalized. To allow no organogram, a pre-campus to have a large number of women students until every group has that number; to allow no group to take more pledges than its house can accommodate.
The committee expects to be able to offer a preliminary plan in a few weeks. Misa Helen Wagstaff, head of Kappa Alpha Theta, is head of the group. Other members are Miss Olive Torgesen, national officer of Alpha Xi Delta, who is acting as housemother for the chapter this year. Cox, Chi Omega; Ruth Pyte, Alpha Omieron Pi; and Mary Hassia, Alpha Chi Omega.
The judiciary committee has been interviewing different women students in an effort to get all points of view on the campus.
JAYHAWKS TO MEET WASHBURN TONIGHT
Kansas Cage Squad to Play Ichabods in Last Non-Conference Game of Season; Wellhausen May See Action at Center With Wells Still Suffering From Recent Illness
Dr. Forrest C. Allen takes his Jayhawker basketeers to Topka this afternoon for a non-conference engagement with Washburn there tonight. Coach Allen, after viewing the Ichabods' encounter with the Grimm basketball squad, predicted a Kansas triumph. Washburn is at present low in the Missouri Valley conference standings.
Prof. W. W. Davis Sends Resignation to Lindley
The entire squad will make the trip to Topeka and many will probably see action. Ebling, forward, Kappelman, guard, and Gray, at the other guard position, will be sure starters, according to Dr. Allen last night. Wells will probably start at center but due to his
Professor of History Has Been on Leave for Past Year
Chancellor E. H. Lindley announced today that William Watson Davis, professor of American history at the University, has resigned his position. Professor Davis has been on leave the past year administering the estate of his father in Alabama.
will occupy most of his time and it will not be possible for him to return to the University. Chancellor Lindley had asked if it would be possible for him to return the first semester of each year, but he could not arrange it.
He has found that business interests
Professor Davis came to the University of Kansas as assistant professor of history in 1910, became associate professor in 1914 and has held his present position since 1920. He received from the University of Missouri an Institute of his M.S. and his M.S. in 1940. He was granted his M.A. from Columbia in 1906 and his Ph.D. in 1913.
Glenn and Venzke to Relays
Bonthron May Come To Kansas Annual Spring Track Classic
Curningham and Venzke and perhaps Bonthron will be run at the Kansas Relays.
Announcement of the coming of these foremost American milers was made at the meeting of the Kansas Relays Club last night at a dinner meeting at the Eldridge, Cunningham and Venken ran an invitation mile at a distance and winning in 4,127, a new Relays record, and making the fastest mile ever run in Kansas.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, and Adrian Lindsay, football coach, were speakers. Dr. Allen describing in detail some of the fine points of basketball play, and Coach Lindsay speaking on "Prospects." Dr. Allen also explained some of the technicalities of the basketball rules.
The Relays club re-elected its officers for the coming year, as follows: President, Glew Charlton; vice president, W. G. Hutson; secretary, A. E.
Dr. Allen suggested that the score book, or at least the reporters' note-book should have some place to score "assists," so as to give .grip-credit to the player who, while not doing any scoring, actually contributes heavily to the score team by feeding the score to the player who is open for a shot at the basket.
Coach Lindsay said he had more material in sight now than he did at this time last year, but pointed out some of the problems facing the coaching stuff in shaping the football team for next fall.

Negro Students To Hold Dance
An all-Negro University Nervous Varsity will be held in the Memorial Union ballroom on Saturday from 9 to 12 p.m. through the courtesy of the Activity Ticket committee and the Union operation committee who have dominated the course for the occasion. The entire Union Fountain in the sub-basement will be available for those attending the party.
recent illness, Al Wlthhausen, big 6 foot 7 inch sophomore, will see some service. The other forward berth has not yet been definitely filled but Ray Noble, who has been hampered by a leg sprained in practice, may be the starter. Milton Allen also has been on the sick list with a cold, but will be in the game.
The ineligibility of Fred Harris for varsity competition this semester was the only loss brought about by scholastic failure this year. Harris is a 3-sport athlete with letters in football and track. Passing work this semester in all his subjects will render him eligible for football again next fall.
Kansas has met Washburn on the court 17 times and out of that number has claimed 15 victories. Both Washburn victories came by 1-point margins, 41-10 in 1913 and 26-25 in 1929. The last meeting was 'in' the season of 1934 when the Allenmen emerged victors at 31 to 22.
Wilmer Shaffer, who has been out with a severe case of bronchitis most of the season, has re-entered school for the second semester but is still under medical attention due to the infection. He will not be eligible for practice until he completes of first semester subjects and has taken final examinations.
Coach Allen plans a strong offensive against the Ichabods and will inaugurate some new plays. Washburn, he believes, lacks the power to check his men as illustrated by the showing of Coach Holm's men in their conference.
