Using twelve fot backets which had been moved in farther over the court, the teams found that fewer out-of-bounds plays resulted and that the actual playing time of the game was increased by almost five minutes. Although many of the rules observed in Tuesday night's game are only proposals and have not been sanctioned by the National Rules committee, they seem likely to be adopted within the coming few years. These rules, like others which have been advanced recently, are calculated to increase the speed and interest of the game which has come to rank among the most popular of American competitive sports. In addition, they place more emphasis on skill and accuracy as well as team work. They should prove popular if they are put into practice gradually, and are not forced upon the students purely as a series of revolutionary innovations. EARLY ENROLLMENT Early registration for next fall has just been completed at the University of Nebraska, and, as a result, 2550 students are duly registered for the coming fall semester. This will relieve much of the usual congestion and unnecessary rush which always accompanies the opening of the University. For some time authorities here at this University have been toying with the idea of early enrollment or registration, and the students have become so much interested in it that they have injected the basic principle into their election campaigns. Both political parties openly advocated the needed reform, feeling that this was the best way to arouse interest and support which would lead to definite action of some kind. Now that the election is over and campus feeling has again subsided to its normal status, it is an appropriate time to reconsider and try to adopt some new plan of registration or enrollment that will aid students, instructors, and the administration. Pre-enrollment in the spring for the fall semester would be of great value to all concerned; it would make possible a planning of schedules that would more nearly suit the needs of the students. It would also put an end to the silly two-day battle of red tape which always takes place in Robinson gymnasium. The early enrollment of seniors last semester proved successful, and the University of Nebraska has found that early registration is desirable. The way is open for further action here at Kansas; it is time for the next move to be made. Airplanes are getting so common they have to fly low and blow sirens to attract our attention. THE WORLD'S FAIR AGAIN A Century of Progress International Exposition will open its gates for the second time in Chicago May 26, with the gigantic spectacle in many respects entirely new. New buildings, more than a dozen picturesque foreign villages, transplanted to the shore of Lake Michigan from the mysterious cast and from ancient times; unique water spectacles built out over lagoons; great additions to the scientific and industrial exhibits; a new midway built along the island beach on the lake side; every spectacle on the Exposition grounds enlarged and improved, the World's Fair of 1934 will seem a different place to those who saw it last year. We hated to see such a big polished show close last year. The entertainment, the educational value, and the genuine confidence that it gave to the thousands who passed through its many wonders were worth preserving. But all of this and more will greet the World's Fair visitor this year. He will again be able to view the things he was loath to leave last year, and in high spirits he will again review the march of time in its hundred years of progress. A NEW METHOD Concentrated study for finals, term problems, and last minute work must be done in a quiet, secluded place. — preferably one where there is no green grass, rippling brook, or birdies singing. Nothing lends itself into the spirit of the party as a beautiful corsage. We know what is correct. CORSAGES SPRING PARTIES call for FLOWERS WARD'S OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN A. I. E.

BONDURANT, Secretary. Thursday, May 17, 1934 The answer is simple. The surroundings are peaceful, the water is pleasant to look upon, and if you concentrate to the point of saturation and succumbing to the heat, there is always the prospect of a cool, refreshing dip. Not only this, but if you brought your girl and your lunch, what could be sweeter than a steak fry? After all you just cannot study in a place where there are no lights after it gets dark. Political education for the indifferent is one of the urgent needs of today if we are to get results from our experiment in democracy, which implies a government by the people. The truth is, a large majority of the people either know very little about or are not interested in the workings of government when they fail to vote in the primary elections. OUR DEMOCRACY The professors may think they really are getting a lot of work out of their students at the last minute, but there seem to be a great many keys for the same tune. A. S. M. E.; If this is true, why do so many students study for their finals at the State Lake? The annual Mechanical Engineer's banquet will be held at 6 o'clock this evening at the Colonial Tea room.

Since the days of Boss Tweed, our political affairs have been largely directed by men of this type, who accomplish their ends by paying tribute. Tweed used money to silence the opposing factions. When asked how he managed to keep the people under control he answered, "Well, we use money whenever we can." This is still the underlying principle of graft, which today has become a science. True, it requires more brains and foresight than in early days, thanks to an awakening public, but there is There will be a special Ku Ku meeting Sunday night, May 20, in Fraser hall, at 10:30 o'clock. All members please be present and in uniform for the ceremony to be performed. WALT. LYMAN, President. GENE HIBBS, President. PI EPSILON PI: The Campus Mews still need for more light. --sure need for more right. If there is ever to be an ideal form of government all the people must work to that end. Boss control is begun in the primaries. This is the base of all party and boss strength, and when we as a nation become sufficiently interested to vote at the primaries boss rule will be greatly eliminated. To neglect this and vote only in the general election is usually to vote for a tool of the boss, whom he has succeeded in getting nominated because of the little resistance offered in the primaries. Each year, as finals approach, this column is reopened for the solace of all harrowed souls who need some surgese from the impending mental strain of summer. As the rain settles, floating away while you glaze wet-eyed through the haze from burning midnight oil, express themselves in a spray of sweat from O, milt gifted ones, to the editor. "A government of the people, by the people and for the people" demands that all the people be alert and interested at all times. HOW ABOUT IT? HOW ABOUT IT: 'I'd love to go to college If they'd do away with classes, And have a ball game every day And let them play the passes. If the deans and the professors Would ql take a long vacation, And we'd have a varsity each night By way of recreation. Since closing hours bore me, I'd eliminate them too And get rid of every chaperone Who tells us what to do. I'd move the State Lake closer And then, you may surmise, I'd order lots of moonlight And organize steak fries. Good shows would come more often Free to all, and darker still, And they'd serve free cokes or coffee With the Brownies at the Mill. Life would be a gay cadenza And we'd have good times galore. But if college were so perfect, What the heck is Heaven for? } Call "RAILWAY EXPRESS" to get your baggage home QUICKLY and ECONOMICALLY Wherever you may live, if it is within regular vehicle limits, we will call for your trunks and bags and whisk them away on fast passenger trains through to destination.
