They were advised to keep an open mind for a year or two and not rush through what work would suit them best.
Dean Werner In Charge
Working students were cautioned especially when they do well, as they could do well. Those doing more than two hours of outside work were told to enroll in less than the usual 13 hours. Working students will also be required to take courses from their employer if they expect to be excused from afternoon class work.
The meeting concluded with an explanation of the enrollment card and the announcement of the convocations tonight and tomorrow night.

Ten plaster paris Jayhawks, originals modeled by Milton W. Nigg, B.S.17, the first person ever to attempt to make statuary likenesses of the mythical fowl which has become so famous a symbol of the University of Kansas, came into the possession of the Alumni office this summer.
Dunkle and Smith set out from Kansas State juni, and high spirited in their sturdy Ford. They returned Aug. 25, wracked with malaria. The disease alternately chilled them so that they shook almost too hard to lie in bed, but eventually fleaved of 106 or more. Quinine has abated its severity a great deal now.
During the time they were gone they traveled over much of the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Caliесo, San Luis, Neuco Leon, Zacatecas, and Tamaulipas.
The miniature models formerly belonged to the Squire photo studios, 1033 Massachusetts street, but with the closet doors wide open, were purchased by the alumni office.
The Topka Daily Capital relates how they drove more than 4,000 miles in a 1923 model T Ford over the wildest ox trail in northern Mexico, gathering snakes, lizards, toads, and frogs. Their object is to prepare a work on classification and distribution of reptiles in southern Mexico, and in southern Mexico a couple of years ago, so they will have the entire territory well covered.
Two University of Kansas graduate students are just recovering from mastacria caught while they were returning to campus. The students woke up vicious K. U. students have ever made.
Three Sections Open To Students at Games

The Jayhawks, originally plain white, are about 5 or 6 inches high, and have the word "prosperity" carved into one side of the base of each. Some of them have blue eyes and yellow colors usually attributed to the bird. These birds have long, thin legs, and wear shoes.
Nigg, a student here throughout his college career, fashioned the Jayhawks in 1914 when he was a sophomore. Before that time pictures and drawings of the imaginary Jayhawks has been made,

University students in purchasing activity books, will have three choices of sets for the football games: They may elect to sit in the east stadium, where the Kansas section will start at the 50-yard line and extend southward; they may sit in the southern end of the west stadium, on the 30-yard line and south thereof; or they may sit, by purchase, between the west and south tickets and tickets between the 40-yard lines on the west side.
The additional charge for reserved seats on the west side is $25, the difference between the $25.25 which the athletic management receives as its share of the $5 activity ticket, and the $5.50 which the team pays for. Of the $25.25, 50 cents is for the federal tax which is added to the $5 price for season tickets.
The student section both in the east stadium and the west stadium will be partitioned off from the rest of the stadium, and there will be no reservation of seats within the sections. The method will be similar to that used year for the concert course, where students sit on the bench on either balcony, and then choose any seat aside from the few reserved for faculty and townpeople.
Students paying the $2.25 additional will receive reserved seats, just as do the general buyers of season tickets.
RYNERSON SELLS SHARE IN NEWSPAPER AT BALDWIN
Eldon Rynerson, '26, Baldwin, has recently purchased the Ludington, Mich. News, a daily. He has sold the Baldwin Ledger to F. C. Leitner, former owner of the Culver City, Ind. paper. Ryanen will have as a partner J. A. McFarland, $ \mathrm{J_{r}} $ also of Baldwin.
Unable to ship their specimens back because of customs difficulties, they built a box on the back of the Ford, formerly a coupe, and carried them back with them. They have 1,600 to 1,700 specimens of more than 100 species.
Shingy away from the national highways, they traversed the little visited areas where the only roads were tortuous, rutted, sandy curtails, but roads made in the mountain state, where they could make their zoological observations.
That made more than 1,000 pounds weight, far more than the little passenger car was intended to carry.ESSAYS ON A LITTLE CAR.But after breaking four or five springs they put in 10 leaves and had no more springs to put. However, they pulled out differentials a couple of times, and then pushed them, besides other transmission troubles.
Five-gallon alcohol tins carried the specimens, tagged and catalogued for later reference.
A chance encounter far down in Tamaulipas, about 400 miles south of the border, gave them their best choice and the malaria, they think. It enabled
them to spend two weeks on a great ranch where people collected reptiles for them at minimum cost. The insect will not malaria dates back to two weeks.

STUDENTS ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH HAZING
Movement Began Last May
Saying that Kansas was one of the leading Universities and that the leading Universities and that eliminating such having practices, the petition set forth four points which were intended to show why punishment of freshmen for violations of traditions should not be permitted to continue.
The students last May based their complaint upon the fact that too severe treatment was exercised in handling the yearling students, and appalled to the Chancellor "after the Men's Sturgeon学院 had failed to act upon a petition."
Would Force Council Action
The Men's Student Council said that it had turned the flaims over to the K-club which had previously been given the right to settle any disputes arising over the handling of freshmen for failure to wear their red and blue caps or to observe other rules set down by the letterman's organization.
Chancellor Lindley referred the groups back to the Men's Student Council, unwilling no desire to meddle in student affairs which he said he believed could be settled through official student sources. He told the complaining students, at that time, that they should be forced to attend classes, should they honestly believed the results of its continuance might be harmful.
The committee, made up of five members, was the same which last May 25, waited upon Cancellor E. H. Larkley and sought his aid in abolishing having on the Hill. Besides Brubaker, Kermit E. Goodger, m'37; Harold Gregg, c'37; William Kester, c'37; and Bob Thorpe c'37, were members of the group.
Signatures of 10 per cent of the total number of students enrolled would require the Men's Student Council to adopt the petition or to put the matter to a general vote of Hill students, the committee said. Late last night they heard that many voters strongly enough signs to bring the issue a *n* test.
Brubaker and his committee yesterday afternoon had established themselves at the head of the line of registering students, and sought the signatures of both upperclassmen and freshmen on their petition.
Group of Upperclassmen Circulates Petition Among Registering Students, Seeking to Force Action by Men's Student Council; K-Club Also Issues Instructions to Frost
At the same time that the committee sought to build up sentiment against hazing, Ernest Vanek, president of the K-club, was passing out mimeographed instructions to each freshman student group in order to help himVanek's instruction sheet set forth three rulings which the new students would be required to abide by. He reiterated a statement made last spring, and repeated earlier this year, that no student should be punished for their caps and followed the "simple rules."
A committee of upperclassmen, headed by Ots Brubaker, c. 35, yesterday sought signers on a petition addressed to the Men's Student Council, asking that body to "pass such regulations as are necessary to eliminate the practice of$^4$
Petition Lists Objections
"Whereas, the University of Kansas is one of the outstanding universities of the Middle West; WKU, the university, is one of them."
In the petition which they offered for consideration to the registering students, the committee against hazing said:
To the Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas:
Whereas, the leading universities are eliminating freshman hazing;
"Whereas, we have had it practiced here for years and has failed utterly to instill a sense of worth in desirable school spirit and a respect for traditions in the minds of freshmen."
"Whereas, it results in:
1. A humiliation detrimental to the freshman's adjustment to university life
2. A retardation of the development of a sound and healthy spirit of loyalty to the University and its traditions at a time when this spirit is in decline.
3. A feeling of resentment toward the individuals, organizations and institution responsible for hazing and the rules leading to it.
4. Frequent physical injuries.
"We the undersigned qualified voters of the Association Men of the University of Kansas to the Student Council to pass such regulations as are necessary to eliminate the practice of freshmen in the immediate action so that this year's freshman class need not suffer the emancipation of their fellow students have been compelled to undergo."
Vanick's instruction sheet to the freshmen begin with an explanation of the K-club's aims and ideals, claimed the organization had the power to make and enforce any rules which had to do with traditions at the University, and set forth what rules the frosh would be required to follow: "K Club is an organization of letter clubs, and its purpose is to further interest in athletics, foster true sportsmanship, stimulate interest in sports, and organize the University of Kansas.
"The K Club has the power to make all rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purpose of upholding the law. We invite you to join with us in sponsoring and furthering the aims and ideals of this Club following rules have been compiled:
"Every freshman is required to purchase a cap. A definite system of caps is required. The stores authorized to sell the caps are: Ober's, Carl's, Houk and Green's, the main time of purchase, the student uniforms, the merchandist, the second-hundred caps are allowed, since the caps this year are different from those of "earmer years."
"Freshman caps must be worn for freshman initiation. From that night up to the time must be worn on the campus at all times and at all home football games. On the field, the team will wear football game, crimson and blue ribbons must be worn on the cap. On the court, you must walk only on the south side of the campus streets and may cross the street as well. The ribbons to be worn on the caps can be purchased at the time of the parade."
"Freshmen will not be allowed to take part in football games. Freshmen will play basketball. Every individual who does not obey these rules must be removed from the person of any freshman, and those freshmen who are willful will not be molested." Additional rules will not be molested.
HISTORY OF CUSTOM VARIED
Chancellor Strong Voiced Opinion When Dispute Arose
The history of the freshman cap tradition has been a hectic one. The custom was started about 1863. It had no end. In 1957, a new more popular until it was acted upon by the Men's Student Council, and for many years all freshmen have been required to wear caps until Thanksgiving; we wear the cap, Dr. Frank Strong, at that time chancellor, said that the University was bound by the rules of the Board of Regents to oppose hazing, but the chancellor said was a very serious matter.
Speaking further, Dr. Strogh said, "I can see no good reason why freshman students should not be willing of themselves to fortnight to traditions of the past," and outgrowth of student life and of themselves involve no wrong . . . , conformity to reasonable student tradition is good for individuals and freshman caps will be, to anyone who takes student tradition in good spirit in college or in other colleges in after years.
-In recent years the cap ruling has been enforced consistently. At times there were proteots against the severity of paddlings. In addition the wearing of the cap the freshmen have been allowed to wear in all schools placed at intervals about the campus by removing the cap under the penalty of running the K-men gauntlet.
