Extension Enrollment Down
LAWRENCE KANSAS WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1932
September Shows Slight Decrease Correspondence Students
In spite of a large increase in the number of inquiries and detailed requests received by the bureau of extensions for the past six weeks, the enrollment figures for the last quarter show a shift decrease over the same period last year.
There are this year 114 new students (minus any duplications) enrolled in-142 different courses. The majority of this number are college students enrolled for college credit, but there are some who are enrolled as foreign students in Kansas, 41 enrollment were received from other states.
Perhaps the most significant fact he the report of the bureau of correspond- study is the fact that there were 100 competitions in the field that students have completed courses which have enabled them to attain a certain standing in college, or to make up a certain amount of work in high school. Standard texts use the same texts as textual study is based on the same texts as work in the classrooms here.
ONLY FEW DAYS OF GRACE FOR THOSE WITHOUT TAGS
Parking permits, which are now being issued from the office of the student adviser, must be on the cars to which they belong by the last of the week, according to George Snyder campus traffic officer.
For a few days cars without licenses, or those parked outside of the regular parking zones, will escape being fined, receiving only a card instructing the owners as to traffic and parking rules. After the first offence, the driver will be fined $10 to $3 with the insistent violators being brought before the Men's Student Council .

Six Brushes Are Already Worn Out in Repainting of Stadium Benche
Roger Babson with his appalling statistical figures is almost compelled to take a back seat since Del Davidson, custodian of the K.U. memorial stadium, has given out data as to the amount of time, energy, and materials consumed in the reparing and painting of enches in the stadium.
In order to protect the wood in the caches from the weather they must be binted yearly. First they require
plied. For the accomplishment of that task the school had to buy fifteen wire brushes, six of which were completely worn out by Burt and Jimm Hammers, c34, who together scraped the entire cast side. It took them three weeks, working ten hours a day, to accomplish the job.
Paint used in covering the benches is usually reckoned by the barrel, but it figures out to over 100 gallons in common terms. This part of the enter-
Varsity Dance Report Submitted to W.S.G.A
Phil McKnight, c33, diversity舞姿 manager, gave a resume of the financial condition of the varsity dances both for last year and this year at the W. S. G. A. council meeting last night at Memorial Union. The first varsity this year, he reported, was especially successful. He asked for the co-opperators to provide suggestions for the management and promulgation of the project.
Budget Cut for Year Accepted and Comedy Judges Chosen
A report from the finance meeting hold last week showed that a cut of $1,000 had been made on the budget of the W. S. G.A. It was accepted by the council as submitted by Irene Conley c'33, treasurer.
The constitution committee gave a report of its work, in conjunction with a committee from the Men's Student Council, in the revision of the W. S.
G, A: constitution the joint action of the two councils committee is continuing its work in the revision of the entire constitution.
A committee of three to read the manuscripts of the musical comedy, sponsored by the W. S. G. A. every year, was appointed. This will serve on the committee: La Verne Wright, Camilla Luther, and Irene Conley. Thus far, only one has been submitted. It is the manuscript of Geoffrey Thompson, and the expenses allowed for the W. S. G. A. weekly tax, from $3 to $2.50.
Because of the amount of business on hand, it was decided to change the time of meeting from 7:15 p. m. to 7 p. m., becoming effective next Tuesday.
Register for Convention
25 High Schools Will Send Delegates to Journalism Meeting
Reservations from 25 high schools which will attend the journalism convention here Friday and Saturday have been received by Professor L. N. Flint, PhD. The schools registering their intention of attending the conference are: Anthony, Argentine High School of Kansas City, Kan., Burilong, Belleville, Cimarron, Dickerson, Garnett, Kansas City, Mn., Kenyon.
Lawrence, Lebanon, Leavenworth,
McPherson, Manhattan, Norton
Community, Ottawa, Parsons, Paula, Pittsburgh, Rosseau High School of Kansas City, Kans., Sterling, Topka, Weichhaefer, High School of Kansas Ilyan, Kan.
Professor Flint said that indications point to a smaller attendance this year than that of last year.
Sixteen members will be initiated into the dramatic club at the meeting held tomorrow night in Green hall. The program for the meeting will be under the direction of Ruth Stoland, c. 855. Eugene B. Hibbs, c. 43, president of the club, urges all old members to attend this meeting.
Spanish Club to Hold Tryout
Dramatic Club to Initiate
The Spanish Club will hold a special business meeting Thursday at 4:30 p.m., Willela V. Currutt, gr president, announced today. After the business meeting, several students will be allowed to try out for entrances to the club. There will be one more chance for students to try out, Miss Currutt said. Students interested should call 603.
*prise is not yet completed, but already six paint hues have been worn so blunt they are useless. In dry weather whole armies of workmen wield paint and they use the benches and they have been working off and on sine school started.*
The big job which has been accomplished on the stadium, however, is not in the way of scraping or painting. Actually, it was the old stadium that had developed a groove down the center which held water. The only way to drain off this water was to bore holes in the benches. This the custodian set out to do. All in all he costed 40,000 dollars for the construction, a total of 80,000 inches, or one and one third miles. If Davidson had used an
ordinary brace and bit he would in al-
probability still be boring when al-
the stadium is crumbling to ruins, but
he could sit down and the job took him
only four weeks.
Meaning of 'Necessity'
Affects Sunday Movies
Wichita Test Case Is Argued Before Supreme Court of Kansas
Topela, Oct. 5—(UP)—The fate of the Wichita city ordinance legalizing Sunday movies may depend upon the possible definition by the supreme court of Kansas of the word "increase" represented by George L.
