Placement Bureau Reports Increase In Appointments
Calls Received for Teach ers of Music, Commerce, and Home Economics
An increase of 60 per cent in teaching appointments over the total placements last year was announced yesterday by H. E. Chandler, assistant professor of education and secretary of the Teachers Appointment bureau.
Many calls for teachers have been received in recent weeks brought about by increase in enrollment. The greatest demands have been in the fields of home economics, commerce, and music. In fact, it is important to fact that these subjects were among the first to be cut out in economy measures and are now being offered again.
Only 100 Last Year
Last year only 100 appointments were made, the smallest number in many years. The condition was brought about by a combination of factors. Professor Anderson stated. The depression was probably mitigated during mentorship went into office with new policies and new plans, and the banking moratorium, all kept the people in a state of unrest. The schools appropriation is the first on the tax budget, and the tax cuts are one of the total taxes, it is the first division on which the public jumps to cut expenses.
The decline of marriage among women teachers is also a factor in the decrease of the demand for teachers, says Mr. Charder. In the four years which ended January 1954 the marriages of women teachers have declined. As conditions improve, the number of marriages will return to normal and there will be more vacancies.
Shortage in Some Sections
In Kansas last year 1000 teaching vacancies were not filled at all. There are some sections of the state where the situation is still serious. The shortage is usually to be found in the modern linen mathematics, and science departments.
Appointments Announced
Consolidation of a1 school districts would greatly improve the educational outcomes of students last year supported 1004 schools with an average daily attendance of four or more.

Offer German Over KFKU
Engel to Conduct Elementary Course Beginning October First
A series of elementary German lessons, arranged especially for those who wish to acquire a reading knowledge of German in as short a time as possible, has been prepared by Prof. F. E. Engel and served over station KFKU beginning Oct. 1.
Already two students have declared their intention of following the lessons in order to acquire a reading knowledge that will fulfill the requirement for a Ph.D. degree.
Students Must Choose Seats Before Saturday
At the end of each lesson, Professor Engel will ask a simple question in order to determine how many history answers each week throughout the course, will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the series.
During the 16-week period of the course, you will acquire instruction equivalent to the received one in one semester in residence.
Allen Announces Plan for Those Wishing to Sit With Parents
All holders of student activity books must register their choice of seats by Friday or Saturday of this week, the athletic office announced yesterday. Tickets will be stamped East or West, according to the choice of the owner. Two special dives are available: west stadium—from south 25-yard line south; east stadium—from 54-yard line south.
Students who desire season tickets in the reserved section between the 40-yard lines on the west side, may obtain them by paying $2.25, which is the difference between the $2.25 allowed the athletic management from the activity ticket, and the $5.50 which the general will pay for season tickets.
An additional plan for the convenience of students whose parents come for one or more of the games was announced yesterday by Dr. F. C. Allen, dean of the school, and students may obtain reserved seat tickets adjoining those of their parents by paying an additional amount equal to the difference between single admissions and the credit for one game on the admission card. Students with 35 dollars for the principal games.
Schedule Debate Lectures
Single game reserved seats may not be obtained with an activity book check and the 55 cents, except when bought for parents or friends, Dr. Allen said.
Professer Buehler to Conduct Programs for High School Forensic Teams
A special series of programs for high school debaters has been prepared by Prof. E. C. Buehler, for deformation of检索材料 and documentation over station KFKU this week.
On Oct. 3, Professor Buckler will open his program with an analysis and interpretation of the question to be used in state high schools: "Resolved: That the federal government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states to improve secondary education." His second lecture on Oct 10 will also be introductory.
Following these opening presentations, the members of the freshman debate team will give a series of six debates which Professor Buchler will criticize at the close of each period. The final programs on the series will be devoted to roundtable discussions led by Charles Hackler, freshman debate coach, with members from each period, and an intercollegiate debate. The latter will either be Kansas versus Missouri or Kansas State.
The first of the Y.W.C.A. meetings for all University women will be hold Tuesday, Sep 25 at 4:03 o'clock in the Central Administration building aud

Wiley Says Band Unable to Attend Tulsa Grid Game
new Uniforms Will Make Kansas Group Best Dressed in Big Six League
"The band will be unable to attend the Tulsa game, since it will not be ready by Oct. 6," said Russell Wiley, new University of Kansas bandmaster, when told of the communication from the Tulsa Alumni Association at Tulsa.
The Oklahoma organization had requested that the band be allowed to accompany the Kansas football team to Tulsa "in order to display the school spirit of the University" at the Kansas-Tulsa game on Oct. 6.
"I want to insist," he said, "that if there are any other clarinet, or bassoon players in school, they should at least be one of the many been many students who have come to my studio with doubt in their minds as to the desirability of getting into band work, but they are now turning to morning practices enthusiastically."
"Our band will be by far the best dressed band in the Big Six Conference," he pointed out.
Those who wish to try out should do it within a week, Mr. Wiley said, if they expect to be measured for a uniform. The order for the uniforms will be sent off the later part of next week or the first of the following week, and the band must be complete before that time.
Mr. Wiley said, *However*, that by Oct. 20 the band should be in excellent shape and added that it would, in all respects, be the most important to Mahtaan and one to Columbia.
The new uniforms, according to the bandmaster, are to be cut in West Point style, with a swallow tail coat of flashy blue, trimmed in red, and ornamented with gilt duttons. The belts are to be of the double white Same Brown type. The caps are six inches, in height.
Mr. Wiley is pleased with the prospects of the organization for the coming year. "The brass section has shown up in marvelous shape," he said, but I only have about 30 needs, and want to increase that section to 45."

1 study clubs. Out of the more than 10,000
The club woman of today finds it a simple procedure to get a paper ready for her club. All she needs to do is to write the Extension Library service of the University and tell her troubles. Each request is treated as an indictment, and the material is completed with respect to the needs and interests of the user.
University Extension Library Helps Solve Problems of Kansas Women
In the early years of the service, demands were particularly heavy from high schools, requesting supplementary supplies. By the late 1960s, the vast number of orders come from the
Twenty-five years ago the extension library service was inaugurated at the University for the purpose of lending library materials to students in state. Before long the interest and demands of the schools and clubs resulted in the package-library organization which lent, by mail, collections of books, periodicals, magazines clippings, bulletins and books.
More than 125 students will participate in the co-operative meal plan while goes into effect in the University cafeteria tomorrow morning. Last year 32 students took advantage of a similar arrangement.
Students must apply for permission to participate in the plan to one of the three chapters (Chancellor, student adviser, Dean Agnes Husband Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, or Mrs Ebel M Evans) for publications had been made by Saturday.
The plan, especially devised for the benefit of working students and those who eat out regularly, consists of 17 meals a week for $2.50. Three meals are served each week-day, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
Total of 125 Students Will Start Project in Cafeteria Beginning Tomorrow
Co-Operative Meal Plan Is Attractive To Large Number
Benefits Have Been Proven
Three years ago when students were helped under a similar plan, Mrs. Evans experimented with a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables iron and calcium which is absent in most unplanned menus. For breakfast there will be either fruit or cereal, for lunch some substantial food like macaroni and cheese, and for dinner the main course of meat. A lunch including pasta and salad will make the students in better shape for afternoon, Mrs. Evans has found.
package libraries lent in a year, 6,000 will now go to clubs or club members, 3,000 to schools and the remainder to libraries and individual readers and
Mrs. Evans told of several students who have come to her with complaints about their diet when eating in other places; and how, after a week or two with her, they have found the balanced diet they need. That that was needed to get them in it.
A special ticket is being printed for use in the co-operative plan, and will be available at the desk in the cafeteria. The meals have been employed to serve the meals.
The all arrangements of the co-operative plan will be handled separately by the cafeteria, to facilitate the handling of accounts and bookkeeping.
The annual trip to Chicago made by the senior mechanical and industrial engineers to inspect various industrial plants will be made from Oct. 6 to Oct. 13, E. D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering announced today.
ENGINEER'S TRIP TO CHICAGO INCLUDES WORLD'S FAIR VISI
In Chicago the engineers will visit the World's Fair and various industrial institutions. Professor Hay, who is in Chicago, works on the schedule the Monday or Tuesday.
The meals are carefully planned to give the student a balanced diet not otherwise obtainable at that price.
Balanced Diet
Professor Hay urged that, because of the early date, arrangements be made promptly by all who must take the trip.
Package libraries are compiled upon any subject submitted, providing information is in print and generally available. Hence the poster is not enough to
ance. If the matter is not invainte in print, but can be secured from other sources, the request is answered by letter with the necessary information.
As in the general public library, the extension library has many other materials on hand. These include some 500 color prints, a collection of 300 outfitted study programs, plays and other entertainment, material for special days and
functions, and many other publications.
The University Extension Book Club
which enables many Kansans who have
worked in the library books while they are still new, is another valuable service offered by the department.

One figure will be conspicuously missing when the students file into the stadium Wednesday evening for the New Student Induction ceremony.
For ten years now, one of the first items on the program was the reading of the Scriptural background for the University seal, in which is featured Moses kneeling before the burning bush.
Chancellor Strong's Voice to Be Missing at New Student Induction
In all these years, former Chancellor Frank Strong, in all his stately height, has served to the front of the platform, and in his role as president, "Now Moses the locks of Jethro, his father-in-law. . . ."
Dr. Strong died early in August, after a month of a death. He had served the University of Chicago chancellor and 14 as professor of law.
Employment Applicants Must File Addresses
Many Students Still Need Jobs Badly, Says Ellsworth
Inability to get in touch with needy students, according to Fred Ellsworth, head of the student employment bureau for men, has resulted in the loss of several positions. Important information, such as Lawrence residence, telephone number and class schedule, has in many cases been omitted on the application card.
To date, 691 applications have been received, but a shortage of positions has resulted in many piticable cases. The task is to recruit more than a whole while another has only 12 cents. Several men have already returned to their homes because of lack of money, while many others will be forced to leave for the benefit of grace for payment of fees expires.
Mr. Ellsworth urges all students to come to the employment office and register all necessary information that is at present lacking. In this way only can the full efficiency of the employment bureau be maintained.
Clothing Mystery Solved
Police Believe Flipino Student Remove Articles From House-mate's Room
The mysterious disappearance of clothing and other articles from the room of Juan Casilion, Filipino student, caused his mother to be plaited today when M. E. Vega, another Filipino student who roamed in the same house, told police that he had removed the clothing from Casilion's room because he, Casilion, had been "snubbing" other Filipino students on the hill Vega meant to deprive him of his fine clothes. The teacher later returned whatever was taken after Casilion had learned his lesson, he said.
Police announced that they had arrested Vega and he is now held in the county jail, although no charges have been filed. County Attorney R. B. Stevens stated that it is not probable that Casonion will prosecute the case.
The thief included five suit, neckties, shirts, skirts, and a valuable traveling bag. Chief of Police E. G. Pringle traced the host to Hollywood, Culiff, and contained the clothing, was returned to Lawrence by Hollywood detectives.
In the traveling bag the police found a gold watch, chain and knife which Vega had reported stabbed at the name of his friend, in whose loss the knife bore Vega's name.
Vega is a student in the graduate school. He has also done graduate work at the University of Oklahoma and obtained no degrees from these schools.
Texas Christian
Students Allowed Dancing
For First Time
Jazz dancing has become legitimate at Texas Christian University for the first time in the 70 years of its existence and to a dispatch in the Daily California.
Formerly promenades were permitted, but only in the strictest sense of the word. Young men were allowed to walk to and fro on the library lawn with the creature, rather than under the ceramic of stern chapers. These was no terapychorean indulgence.
Elsa Schaefer, 26, who is now secretary to the manager of the Adm. Appl A.G. a large General Motors subsidiary in Russellshire, Germany, visited recent times the office of Elsa Wieser, secretary to the dean of the school of business.
REGISTRATION NEARS UNIVERSITY RECORD
Total of 4,000 Approached as Books Close for Week; Number of New Students Almost Equals Figures of Peak Year; Increase Makes Additional Stations. No Newcomers
Sections Necessary
Registration at the University of Kansas neared the 4,000 mark
at night when the official registration week closed. This is an in-
centrent over that of last year, and is only 6.8 per cent
in the peak year of 1930.
Kansas City, Kansas, Shows Interest in St. Benedict Game
The Raven game will be somewhat of a "natural," as the two teams have not met on the gridiron since 1912.
Large Ticket Sale Reported
MT. OREAD NOTES
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the University, conferred with Kansas City business men Friday and announced that the rushing ticket sale shows that interest in football is reviving in this section.
Reports from Kanas City, Kans, indicate that at least 1,500 tickets to the K. U.-St. Benedict's game on Oct. 13 will be sold in that city alone and that a special train to Lawrence will be charmed to accommodate the crowd.
On the word of a certain couple here in school, they are both taking Abnormal Psychology "to understand each other." And if you know them, you would probably agree that they are being quite sensible about their personal problems.
During the recent registration period, a very young and very meek looking freshman was going through the registration line in the basement of the Adjacency building, the wildered young man was solving the problem of going to the right places by following a couple of upperclassmen in front of him. His system worked splendidly; he walked up to the observer, the two leaders suddenly decided to leave by the large door in the rear of the building. The freshman followed faithfully and was last seen step-by-step in the row in the stadium. One word now blows to his head he discovered his mistake.
The freshman looked worried as he approached the auditorium door before a recent convection. After the young lady at the door had punched his ticket he inquired anxiously, "Can my Mother attend this too?" When an envelope was found near her face cleared and be turned and dashed a way, He was not seen again.

KANSAN STAFF ASSIGNMENTS FOR FIRST TERM ANNOUNCE
Ise To Discuss Socialism
Kansan staff appointments of the en-

managing editor, are as follows:
campus editor, Max Marek, *c*35; make-

"Socialism and the Present Crisis" is the subject of a talk to be given by John Ise, professor of economics, to the faculty of Myers Hall Thirteenth and Oread.
In fact, the number of new students — freshmen and advanced standing — this year is almost 400, the corresponding figures for 1930
Following was the enrollment when registrar George O. Foster's books lost at 5 o'clock yesterday:
Medicine ... 230
Total ... 3962
At Lawrence, all schools 3732
At Lawrence, all schools 3732
The low point in University registration, reached last year, was only 14 per cent below the 1050 hikh mark. This is a stark contrast to other American universities.
Comparative figures announced by the Chancellor's office show that registration at the close of the first week last year was 353; in 1928, 357; in 1931, 406; in 1943, the maximum -4254. this year's registration is therefore only 36 short of 1930.
Substantial gains were made this year in the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Law, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Business, and the School of Education, which were shown in the Graduate School, the School of Fine Arts, and the School of Education.
Large Business Increase
The number of students entering with advanced standing, largely from junior colleges, was 100 greater this year than it was in 1950, the previous high mark.
The gain in the School of Medicine is due largely to the increased enrollment in the department of nursing education. The enrolment in the School of Business, now entering its eleventh year, is the largest in its history.
While the enrollment this year is 93 per cent of that of 1530, the University budget is only approximately 70 per cent of that of the peak year. This reduction in budget was brought about by reduced legislative appropriations and by reduction in also student fees. Both have and maintenance have been reduced.
In many of the departments of the University, the increased enrollment in classes has retracted simply in larger classes and more work for instructors, increases in course load, and increases have been so great that it has become necessary to open additional sections.
Thus the School of Business has added seven sections, the department of English an equal number of new sections, and in engineering drawing and in botany provisions have had to be made for additional instructors.
Many Sections Added
In the School of Business the graduate course in the history of economics has been discontinued to relieve a faculty member from additional work, and is now being offered two new sections of the elementary principles of economics, under Jennings at 8:39 and Gagliardi at 10:30; new classes in the introduction to economics at 8:50 and 1:30; a new section of accounting and one in elementary statistics at 8:50.
The seventh new division announced by Dean F. T. Stockton is that in Business correspondence at 10:30 under Kissick.
Fred Kiel, B. S. b33, has been added to the School of Business staff as an instructor.
In the department of English, four new sections have been provided for freshman rhetoric, and three for freshman literature.
Addition of so many classes has crowded all the principal buildings, especially at the 9:30 and 10:30 hours, and in some cases classes are being held in buildings at some distance from those usually occupied by such classes.
WOMEN LOOKING FOR JOBS ASKED TO SEE MRS. BRYANT
Women students who are already employed, or those who are looking for employment should report to the office of the dean of women. Mrs. Dora Bryant, secretary to Dean Husband, announced yesterday.
Mrs. Bryant has information which might lead to jobs for those women students who need employment to continue their work.
