DROP IN ENROLLMENT TYPICAL OF OTHER U. S. UNIVERSITIES
That the drop in enrollment of full-time students in the University this year is typical of similar conditions in other universities in which the University is classified is shown in a report in *The New York Times* and Society, educational magazine.
Percentage of Decrease at Kansas About the Same in All Schools of Same Rank
The survey was made by Dean Raymond Walters of Swartworth college, and he is the author of the matter. This year 444 approved universities and colleges in all parts of the country.
Enrollment of full-time resident students at the University this year, as reported by School and Society showed a drop of 215 students from the 1930 figures for the same period, but figures in the 1980s show that the drop here falls line with the incomes in the schools of the size and rank of the University of Kansas.
The percentages of decrease in enrollments follow: University of Kansas, 5.1; University of Illinois, 4.3; University of Michigan, 4.0; Bridgman bricks, 5.5; University of Oklahoma, 4.5; University of Missouri, 10.7; University of Wisconsin, 6.7; University of Texas, 3.3; University of Oregon, 6.9; University of Michigan, 6, and Oklahoma A. and M. 5.8.
There were few increases in enrollment reported. The only schools in this territory in the group in which the University is listed who have had an increase in enrollment were the University of Arizona, with 2 per cent, and the University of Indiana with an increase of 5 per cent. Large universities—those with an enrollment of 3,000 or more students—and smaller colleges—those with an enrollment of less than 500 students—this year Dean Walter's article showed.
The enrollment figures for the University in 1931 were 366, which does not include 117 part-time students. In 1940 there were 502 part-time students last fall. No figures for enrollment at Kansas State College for a year ago were available in this survey. For the University in 1935, including the summer session for the University were 3353 students.
5 Per Cent Decrease
The figure for total resident registration, including the 1831 summer session, for the entire group studied is the average of 5.4 per cent from the 1920 total.
University Work Is Shown
Department of Painting Well Represented at Midwestern Exhibition
The department of painting of the University is well represented at the Midwestern Artists' Exhibition at the Kansas City Art Institute this year.
From among the faculty members, and present and former students, the following are listed to exhibit work: Professor Raymond J. Eastwood, Professor Karl Matter, Mass Clara Hutton, instructor in physical education; Douglas Ferdge, Paul W. Manner, fa35, Ann Mush, J. James Penny, Katherine D. White, and Theodore Wahl.
Professor Karl Matter was awarded the gold medal at the exhibition for the second time and the second time that Professor Matter has been awarded, the first time having been three years ago. Last year he received the silver medal for oil painting and at the same time James Penney, who was department assistant and is now living in France, won the silver water color. Some years ago John R. Frazier, then head of the department of painting, was awarded the gold medal for oil painting at the Art In
Professor Maitner's water color, "Strange House," will be shown in his exhibition at Spencer-Thayer museum during the month of May.
EMPLOYMENT IN RELIGION
EXCEEDS PREVIOUS YEARS
An enrollment of 80 in the School of Religion constitutes the largest number that the department has ever had, accented by its large size. It was stated that the increase was due to a natural interest in the courses because no propaganda was issued from the school.
Dean Braden also said that the increase was surprising in view of the fact that there were fewer courses offered at the present time than before.
Munichatee Club
At the regular meeting of the Mathematical Association, Markham k'33, was elected president. The former president, Margaret Bolten, c'32, is not enrolled in the University this semester.
Gilbert Umem, instructor in Mathematics, spoke on "Paper Folding." The speaker at the next meeting will be Mathematician Dennis Walters; it will be "Mathematicians I Have Met."
and for Kansas State College, 3605 students.
Graduate School Increase
Dean Waller survey pointed out that there was a decrease of 1.6 per cent in enrollment of women in the school and that the fact that families who have been affected by the depression have continued seizing the sea to college, has not prevented them.
Dean Wailers' investigation showed that although University of Kansas full-time enrollment was 61, the Graduate School has shown a gain of 71, making a total of 347 students for the 1931 term. Other divisions have re-created comparatively small.
There are 1932 men enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts at the University as compared with 862 women, the report showed.
The total increase in the list of students in the colleges and universities in the state was 399,124 full-time students was reported, 3721 more than the number in school records.

Senior Recital Presented
Caroline Rob House Is Assisted by Blanche Sims

U. S. DELEGATES PROPOSE LARGE ARMAMENT CUT
Seek Complete Submarine and Chemical Warfare Abolition With Further Naval Decrease
GIBSON HEADS GROUP
Ambassador Outlines Plan Which Strikes at Every Phase of Warfare
Genova, Feb. 9 - (UP)—The United States today proposed to the world's disarmament conference further深化 the abolition of the submarine, limitation of heavy mobile artillery, and the complete abolition of chemical war-
These were the high points in a nine part proposal made before the conference. Gibson, one of the American delegates, in a bold and dramatic gesture the American government suggested the scheme of disarmament touching every member of the world.
"I. The American government advocates consideration of the draft convention as containing the outlines for a new treaty to settle disputes expressing its willingness to give full validation for any supplementary treatment extended to advance the end we all seek."
Submarine Abolition Proposal
2. We suggest the advisibility of prolonging the existing naval agreements, concluded at Washington and Loidon, and we advocate completing the latter, as soon as possible, by the adherence of France and Italy.
3. "We advocate proportional reductions from the figures down in the figures," said Naval tenue, as soon as all parties to the Washington agreement have entered
"4. We advocate, as we long have done, the total abolition of submarines
Would Abolish Gas
"6. We advocate the total abolition of lethal gases and bacteriological warfare.
"5. We will join in formulating the most effective measures to protect civilian populations against aerial bombing."
7. We advocate the computation of the number of armed forces, on the basis of the importance of the maintenance of order, plus some 'suitable contingent for defense'. The former are obviously impossible of reduction, the latter is a question of size.
Limits Mobile Guns
8. We agree in advocating special restrictions for tanks and heavy mobile equipment; we would also request for a peculiarly offensive character.
9. We are prepared to consider a limitation for expenditures on material resources; we have no particular limitation, feeling that it may prove useful to prevent a qualitative race, if and when quantitative limitation has been reached.
Not an American Plan
This sweeping program is not an "American plan" in that it must be an act of the nation, but a series of suggestions or all or of which might be accepted by the other
The United States, of course, pledged itself, in advance, to acceptance by putmen clerched "that the burden and dangers of gigantic instruments of warfare, which are being maintained in times of peace, where they threaten civilization itself."
University Alumnus Dead
