RUSH WEEK OPENS ACTIVITIES ON MT. OREAD
FOOTBALL Men Und COACH LINDSEY HOLDS TWO WORKOUTS DAILY
Players Limber-up in Preparation for First Game of Sea son Against Colorado on Sept. 29; Team Has Possibilities, But Lack of Experience Will Be Great Handicap
With the first encounter of a 10-game schedule little more than two weeks away, a squad of more than 35 University of Kansas football players has been going through two workouts daily this week, wearing off the initial stiffness and getting into condition for the heavy grid program.
Following a stiff assignment schedule started here last year the Jayhawkers will again tackle five non-conference and five conference foes.
The first game of the season will be against the University of Colorado at Lawrence on Sept. 29. The Jayhawks have meet this team five times, the last in 1922.
Guard Against Injuries
when they won handily 39 to 16. In recent years such other Colorado teams as the University of Denver, and Colorado A. and M. College have furnished stiff competition.
The principal worry of the Kansas coaching staff at this time is the guarding against strained muscles and chocky horses, which are the bugbuses of pre-eminent running teams working out in light sweat suits, changing to gym clothing on one hot afternoon. They will probably soon be unable to run without discomfort, however, and not to serious work.
Of the 35 men who reported to Coach Adrian Lindsey at the first practice, 15 were lettered. Other non-lettering players have reported since that time, however, swelling the squad on one occasion to 41 players.
Jayhawks Lack Experience
Two offensive formations, on which most of the early plays have been based were given to the players by the Kansas coaches carly this week. Light signal drills have comprised the major part of the actual grid training.
The Jayhawks, with one of the smallest squads in the Big Six conference, are shaping up into an aggregation which may have possibilities, but which exhibits a serious lack of experience. Eight of their veterans are in women and five backs.
The lettered linemen include Milo Chlaow, Newton, formerly a tackle now shifted to; Elwin Elyns, Dewrine, tackle; Dean Nesmith, Belleville, tackle; Bert Hammers, Columbus, end; Richard Skir, Monongabba, pg, guard; Tommy McCall, Lawrence, guard; Paul Wate, Lawrence, guard; Edwin Phipps, Lawrence, center.
Backfield letter men are Ole Neomish Belleville, halffail; John Peterson, Winnebuff, halfail; Bob White, Elsworth quarterback; Fred Harris, Lawrence quarterback; and Kenneth Kell, Topeka quarterback.
Last year's squads members who are back this fall include Richard Ferris, Devon Lempster, Edward Laub and Rutherford Hayes. Dick Wells, veteran basketball center, is working for an end position.
Sophomores Show Promise
Several of last year's freshman show promise as variability material. Sophomores who are on the squaw now are Elmer Humphrey, Lawrence; Charles Pitsy, Cody, Wyo.; G. Linkey, Lawrencier John Seigle, Cottonwood Falls; Howard Hale, Plainsview; Joe Mills, Mohe; Wade Green, Bianmark, N.D.; Clyde Moore, Ellkart; Dave Lauten, Bartlewille, OKa; Paul Minister, Wichia; William Decker, Coffeville; Joe Ganhnungelo, Mononaheau, Pa7; Jesse Koehn, Joel Koehn; Jonue Anonjo, Tongue City; George Happoo, Clay Center; and Mike Stukie, Hoskington (Dear John)

Increase of Two Per Cent
Over Last Year's Job
Quota Is Shown
This Year
EMPLOY 420 STUDENTS
Assignment of incoming CSEP workers to various projects on the campus has been begun by Dean E. B. Stoutley and Shaad, the committee on assignment.
Approximately 1,400 applications have been turned in for the 420 jobs allotted to the University to Miss Mary C. Olesen, executive secretary for the University committee, before the deadline, Sept. 1. There is an increase of 2 per cent in this year's quota of jobs over the allotment last year.
an attempt by Chancellor E. H. Lindley to obtain an additional increase in the Kansas quota because of the drought situation failed last week when the officials at Washington reported a lack of funds.
Students employed under the project will aid with research, do construction and repairs on the campus, help in the library development, assist in the maintenance of buildings and grounds and numerous other duties in the cafeteria, stenographic bureau, journalism department, and the hospital.
Department assistants also are drawn to participate as supervisors at the Oread Training School, photographic assistant, piano accompanists for intramural taping dance groups, supervisors of intramural sports, technical assistance, pupil organization, academic materials and studio assistants for the faculty voice.
In many cases the projects will be work which was discontinued in past years because of budget reductions. These include the preparing of charts for research publications, making of insect traps, making of models for the mathematics and mechanical engineering departments, book binding, repairing and cataloguing in the materials stores, cleaners of military arms and materials, insects mounters and diatribes in the student hospital.
The monthly payroll at the University will total $6,390. The students will earn from $10 to $23 a month, averaging $15 per month for the group. More than fifty per cent of the students were not enrolled in any college last January, the remainder going to students who were in school during the spring semester of 1934.
Financial need and good scholarship were taken into consideration by the committee in selecting the 429 students.

Summerfield Scholars Swell Freshman Class
twenty-one Students Pickee by Committee to Enter University
Twenty-one freshmen will enter the University of Kansas this fall as Summerfield Scholars. These scholarships are awarded to the highest ranking candidates who have completed a series of two competitive examinations, and are made possible through the generosity of the university. In May 2015, City Park, an alumnus of the University,
Each scholarship provides for all essential expenses during the college year, the holder being eligible for renewals and grants. The students' scholarship is satisfactory.
This group of 21 is the largest in the history of the scholarships and is more than half as large as the group which entered last year. The 1933 group consisted of ten members. The 1948 group consisted of eight members.
group consisted of ten members. The scholarship fund has now been in existence for six years.
The addition of the class of 21 freshmen together with the three sophomores selected from the candidates of the pre-graduation class in Summerfield scholars enrolled in the University to 59 with the reappointment of 35 who have previously hold the class.
The following Summerfield scholars will enter the University for the first time this fall:
Frere Armstrong, Toronto; Henry
Three sophomores will be placed on the list of Summerfield scholar for the first time this year. They were candidates in 1633 and have been selected on a basis of outstanding work since coming to the University of Washington William H. Flesen, Sterling; and John Poe, Wyndande High School, Kansas City
Dr. R. I. Cauteness, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, asks that new students let nothing interfere with their appointments for the physical examination that is required of all students entering the University for the first time. The appointments will be at the time the student registers.
Must Keep Appointments
New Students Requested to Appear for Examinations on Time
The psychological examinations are to be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, at the University Auditorium. It is important that all new students should take this examination on this date if possible, as the results are to be used in classifying the students at the time of enrollment.
Photographs to Be Taken in Registration Line and Given to Students Upon Payment of Fees
IDENTIFICATION CARD ADDED TO ACTIVITY BOOK
NO EXEMPTIONS MADE
Included in this year's registration line will be a photographic gallery where every student will be photographed, the picture to be used on an identification card in connection with the activity book.
Kansas Activity Program Ranked Among Best, Says Chancellor
The card was recommended last spring by the central activity book committee after difficulties in the administration of the compulsory activity ticket which was introduced the pre-season week. Both councils and adopted in the form in which it is to be used this year. The photographs will be ready in about a week after registration and will include a photostatic copy of the student's signature, says Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor with final prints made and filed with the Registrar and the various deans.
Card to Be Used As Ticket
An identification card carrying the photo and the signature will be made up and given to the student with the activity book when the fees are paid.
Lindlev Extends Greeting
It may be necessary for those who register late in the schedule to obtain their cards later at Dean Henry Wertheim. The department also has an active body, Mr Nichols said.
"This method of identification has been used in many schools for years," Nichols says. "The card itself is useful to the student as a means of identi-
will be no coupons in the activity book except for football games and dramatic events. Entrance to other activities will be by presenting the identification card.
"The card will protect the activity book," says Mr. Nichols, for in previous years, the school made sure the card has cut down the sale of tickets to outsiders. The larger the sale of tickets to outsiders, the more reasonable the ticket must be made to the students." he asserted.
Plan Is Bargain
The Fall activity book includes five football games, three lectures, two concerts, two plays, membership in the student Government Association. Membership in the Union Association includes free admission to mid-well varsities and half-piece admission to regular varsities. Any debate or written examination will also be in the first semester will be in the book Mr. Nichols is certain that the Kan as activity book is one of the biggest bargains on any American campus. The book provides other schools asking how it is possible to maintain such an activity program when such a reasonable fee is charged The attorney general has ruled that there are to be no exemptions from this requirement for fee in any of the five state schools.
Bantist Groups to Convene
An informal get-together for young people will be held by the university group of the First Baptist Church, Eighth and Kentucky streets; at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The same group will convene in the morning with the worship services at 10:50 a.m.
Welcome to the University! You will find it a friendly world. Mount Oread is a place of many opportunities. Some of these are better than others. We hope you find your way to the best.
Cordially,

Chancellor
Freshmen to Be Given Rules at Registration
New Regulations Expected to Lessen Protests of Severity
Following protests by a group of students last spring against certain practices used in the enforcement of freshman regulations, the K club, University of Kansas lettermen's organization, has made plans whereby the enforcement of these regulations will be more efficient and at the same time less severe.
Paddling has been the chief complaint of members of the freshman group, and it has been with this in mind that the rules have been revised according to Ernest Vanek, president of the K club. It is the belief of the members that these chances will redefine the reduction in the amount of nudding.
The first step in putting the plan into effect will be the issuance of a pamphlet to each freshman as he completes registration. This pamphlet will contain the rules which must be followed. At the time these are given out the freshman must register his name with the distributor. In this manner the K club hopes to be able to check more effectively any violations of the rules regarding the opening of the freshman cap. To place a further check on the cap provision, freshmen must register their name at the time of the purchase of the freshman cap which may be bought from the college. There will be some change in the design of the official freshman cap from that of previous years. The cap will be of a better grade and there will be a red K stamped on the front of the cap. Ribbons must be worn on the day before the game. The caps will same as in past years, and on the day before the game freshmen will be permitted to walk only on the south side of the main street which will be worn caps need not be removed in the zone because one is chosen as the major requirements.
The instructions included in the pamphlet will be simple and easy to follow the principal violation consisting of the failure to wear the official freshman

WOMEN STUDENTS INVITED TO TEA AT WATKINS HAL
The Women's Student Governing Association and the Y.W.C.A. extend cordial invitation to all University women, both new and returning students, to attend a tea given in their own room on Sunday afternoon in Watkins Hall.
It is the desire of these associations that the women of the University become acquainted, both among them and with the students at which are sponsoring the tea.
*now and the men will announce pledge lists at 10 p.m. of the same day.*
Approximately 275 women, a number slightly larger than last year, attended the Thursday morning meeting. Miss Elizabeth Meguair, assistant professor of home economics, welcomed the group in the name of the dean of women. Miss Agnes Husband, who was unable to present due to injuries received in an accident, will return tomorrow. Miss Husband will return tomorrow.
325 Freshmen Respond
"It is not necessary to belong to a sorcery for happiness however," she continued, "and everyone will not be able to join one."
Miss Meguari pointed out the necessity of giving plenty of thought to the question of what sorcity to join before the final decision is made.
"If there are any questions that a rushee wishes answer about a morality, there is a file in the Dam of Weed. The answer is that one may use, Miss Megular said."
Three hundred twenty-five freshmen responded to the fraternities' quest for pledge with registration at 8 a.m. in the Memorial Union building. This number is smaller than the registration group last year, with the weather doing its best.
Covers Three Days
With first dates beginning at 10 a.m., the hustle of rush week was in full swing and will continue at a pace that is more manageable. Plough lodges will be arranged at 10 p.m.
A very aggravating rain took the place of last years hot spell to add a handicap to well laid rushing plans.
Fraternity rushing will continue over a period of three days officially closing Sunday evening at 6. The final period presumably marks the time for the making of the rosters, but the usual whil will continue up until the time of the announcement of pledges and the "yelling in" program at 10 o'clock Sunday night.
Bids for the women's preferential dinners to be hold tonight are to be delivered between 9 and 11 o'clock this morning. Each woman must call the sororities who she receives accepting or rejecting. Silence must be maintained between all sororites and rushes from 10:45 to midnight, until birds are delivered tomorrow morning. Sororites who will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
The first and probably the most important rule of the men's rush week is the requirement for the registration (continued on page 4).
