GREETINGS!
Amid cheery "hello" among returning students, hurried conferences over courses and the bustle of rush week the University is preparing for the opening of its sixty-eighth year. The Daily Kansan adds its greeting to that administration and faculty and says "Welcome" to the new students and "Glad to see you back" to the old.
For the past week the campus has been in the process of awakening as early arrivals made their appearance. Some were looking for jobs (one campus restaurant reported eight or nine applicants for work before a single cash customer showed up). Greeks were here to get ready for the annual pledge hunt, rushes came to be held, and prospective students were invited to the school and clueing whether they should stay. It's a tense time and many a student will skip back with a sigh of relief when the routine of daily classes begins.
N. w students will have the most difficult time of this pre-opening period, for they are unacquainted with the campus and with the system of pre-enrollment procedures. By reading by the Daily Kansan and following the instructions given out at the registrar's office they can complete the various tests and procedure easily than by going about the business without being previously informed.
Here's luck to you and a pleas ant year!
DRIVE SANELY
Only last Sunday evening eight motor car accidents occurred in and around Lawrence between 5 and 10 o'clock. A number of people were injured, some of them seriously, and one woman has since died from her injuries. When again goes to show that grief, worry and financial loss are the result of automobile accidents
Just at the opening of school there are many more cars on the Hill than will be here after two or three years. We brought the family car up for rush
week will be required to take it home on a weekend in the near future. But while there are so many cars on the campus it is especially essential that motorsists observe the rules of safety.
Campus traffic laws have been
announced and call for a speed limit of 20 miles per hour during class periods and 15 miles between classes. If student drivers will observe this and other Hill and city traffic ordinances the chances of being involved in a body during the next few weeks will be materially reduced.
REGISTRATION
Alphabetical registration, the system to be used this fall, is expected to eliminate the congestion experienced in former years. Long lines of students waiting to fill out the yard-long string of cards were a common sight before enrollment began. Now that the plan is designed to keep a steady and uncrooked stream of students going through the mill.
Laat year some improvement was noted already when a two-day alphabetical registration system was used, but the three-day plan will doubtless be still more efficient. It will save the students' time and energy by cutting down on the long delays and should prove a boon to the attendants who used to have a hard time keeping the restless students in line.
The registration schedule appears elsewhere in this paper. By being there at the proper period, you will be able to finish the necessary procedure.
AN INNOVATION AMONG YEARBOOKS
"Wonder how it will work out" is a campus-wide comment on the new Jayhawker plan. True, it is a startling experiment in yearbook publication, not only here at Kansas, but throughout the country. But its novelty does not call for skepticism from the students, rather, for whole-hearted support. The Jayhawker, as well as other campus publications, has been hard hit during the past few years. The advisory board saw last spring that a new plan would have to be tried or the school would probably be without an annual this year. The suggestion that the book be published in magazine form and so constructed that the sections could be bound together seemed the most promising solution.
No other school has yet tried this identical plan. Kansas is conducting an experiment which will be watched keenly by yearbook editors at universities throughout the nation. If it succeeds, the University will have uphold its reputation for fine年书籍. If perchance it should fail, it will at least have been a fighting attempt to save the Jayhawker for the school.
But it will not fail if it receives he co-operation and whole-hearted support of all students. A lower price and a wider range of features should help to keep the Jajawker at the head of the country's yearbooks.
NOT ENTRANCE TESTS, BUT—
This morning at 9 o'clock all new students at the University will take the psychological tests in accordance with the practice of past years. Last year was the only

time the tests were not given since their first administration nine or ten years ago.
AGNES HUSBAND, Director, BEVERLY, BERNS, President.
These tests are not an entrance examination, but are designed to give instructors a key to the aptitudes of a student and therefore the entering student should give them his most serious attention and do the best work of which he must be tested when taken hap-bazardy and without the proper attention, are of no value whatsoever.
In addition to the general information tests given in former years reading test will be administered day. This extra test is to determine the student's ability to read
rapidity and understanding. It has often been found in the past that although a student had difficulty with reading courses such as biology and sociology, yet he had definite ability in laboratory courses.
In order, therefore, to give instructors and advisers an honest indication of his ability, each student taking the tests today should give them the same attention and thought he would give to a regular examination. If then the student has trouble with his courses later on his adviser will have a means to trace his difficulty and a basis upon which to assist him.

NEW! THE JAYHAWKER IN MAGAZINE FORM
Newer than a freshman's trunk!
MAGAZINE FORM
This year's Jayhawker will not be published as the conventional annual you have known. Breaking out of the ruts of the past, responding alertly to the needs and interests of the students of today, and boldly pioneering a new type of college publication, the Jayhawker will be published in five issues of magazine form (first number on October 19).
The Jayhawker Magazine, unlike the old yearbook, will be timely, current. Football will be reviewed and picturized in the fall, not at the end of the track season; rushing before pledge buttons get sent to the cleaners; social events while you're still dating the same date; dramatic and social events while you can still remember the heroine and the tunes; and so on through the year and all campus interests.
The Jayhawk Magazine will cover all that the yearbook did, plus a much wider range of material. It will record not only the formal but the informal; not only the things you're supposed to be interested in but also the things that really interest you. It will carry fiction, verse, and humor (and how!) It will deal frankly, but not solemnly, with the live questions on the Hill. And it will present all sides of all subjects because, instead of being produced by a small staff, these articles and features will be the work of anybody and everybody on the campus who has the ability to submit stuff good enough to make the grade.
(That goes for YOU—you personally! If you want to write an article, a story, or a verse, or if you want to draw, of any subject of real student interest, by all means see the Editor-in-Chief. This isn't an invitation, or even a request—it's an earnest plea!)
The Jayhawker Magazine will be lavishly illustrated, beautifully printed, in the spirit and style of the finest magazines, such as Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, etc. Covers will be in five colors on every issue. Every issue will have beautiful views of Mt. Oread, and so many vivid snapshots of people and events that turning the pages will be like seeing a news-reel of K. U.'s daily life.
In short, this New Deal Jayhawk has everything the old book ever had, plus much more—the tang of timeliness, the spice of humor, the salt of vigorous opinion and frank discussion. And it will be larger, too—not only will the pages be larger, and more cramped with interest, but at the end of the year you'll have over a hundred pages more than last year's Jayhawk. And it will be just as permanent, too—because the five issues will fit snugly into a binder, very similar to Jayhawk covers of the past, which is being created specially for the Magazine.
And ver—IT COSTS LESS. *Much less!* Even if you merely buy each copy as it comes out, at 75¢ per copy, that's only $3.75. But why pay even that—be smart and sign up when you register and get the year's subscription for $3.001 That's the thing to do. You're going to want the Magazine. It's so good you'll have to have it. Make sure of it, and at the same time save 20%.
You asked for a New Deal on the Jayhawker. Well, here it is—the finest, most genuine, the newest New Deal of any activity on the campus, of any student publication in the land. You've got what you asked for. Help yourself!

Sure, there'll be a Senior issue with pictures of the graduate. And there will be issues for every other class, too. And you can have your picture made at any studio in Lawerence—and the photography (ee for the Jayhawk!). How's that for a New Deal?
