Club Dining Rooms Will Be Provided In Memorial Union
Sound-Proof Folding Doors Will Give Privacy For Special Parties
Another step in the progress in focusing student activity in the Memorial building is under consideration for an office where the expenses of equipping the ball room for Varsities and social events, the treasury reported a surplus of $107,859 of the domestic income expected from the voluntary union fee of $2.50 each semester, the committee plans to promote dining rooms in the cafeteria.
The contemplated project will call for an expenditure of around $5,000 to provide sound-profolding doors for the kitchen and to provide the north of the main cafeteria room. In this way, it is planned three small rooms can be provided for banquets with seating capacity with the separating doors thrown open one large banquet room. The proposed project is held pending financial support in the student union
Last year the Memorial Union committee obtained a loan of $1,000 from the combined student councils to help them buy furniture in the room. The loan is being paid off from rentals, and already $400 of the amount has been taken for equipment and furnishings by the classes, several new details which have been added for the fall term, the building in assistance toward the original objectives.
The Memorial Union building here is student governed by an operating committee of four representative of the W, S, G, A, four representatives from five faculty members from the board of regents, three faculty members and three alumni members. The building so far has been financed by voluntary subscriptions through the philanthropy and institution Union tee of $845 semester.
Many of the other universities have resorted to a compulsory fee by student vote in order to maintain student activities. Michigan has a $10 per year assessment with a total income of $450,000 for education orientation. Oklahoma has a $2.50 compulsory fee each semester and the fee income was mortgaged to finance the combined projects. Emporia has a small number of which were issued for the combined projects. Emporia has a small number of which were issued for the combined projects. Wisconsin has an elaborate system with a $10 per year compulsory fee through class dues turned over to the union. Wisconsin has an elaborate system with a $10 per year compulsory fee through class dues turned over to the union. All of these colleges report that the Union project has grown into an essential part of the university.
Students Govern Building
During the last year the student organizations begin to make demands for a more productive program before the building will be adequately equipped to function as the center of activity. New features are under consideration at present pending financial support from a small group of departmental office and club meeting places, a soda fountain, a dumbbell room, a storage and completion of the ballroom.
Many Demands Made
With the mixers, Variations, Mother's Day banquet, Dad's Day dinner, the Memorial Union in Chicago, for which the building was intended has readily opened a new field in student activity. In 1984, a program received through the building, the Union committee contends, the student fee of $2.50 is the income generated by the expansion the expansion program is to be carried out. They ask that consideration be given to the project before the extension, the financial difference resort to exemption.
During the summer, the walls have been painted, the floors have been cleaned and the children have been provided to welcome around 130 women to the 5-room residence in Mount Hope.

Registration Still Pointing Toward New K. U. Record
More Than 4,000 Students Expected by Saturday; 687 Above Level Yesterday
Registration yesterday increased 687 with a total of 3,041 which well exceeded last year's Tuesday night figure of 3,529.
If this rate if increase is maintained, the total registration for the first week will pass the 4,000 mark for the first time in history of K. U. and L. C., so you can get the total enrollment for the school year above last year's total of 4,453.
Long list of students waited most of the day in the halls of the Administration building, anxious to register before their scheduled enrollment hour. While there no convocations on campus, the staff and the attendance of new students, everyone was in a hurry to complete this preliminary step in order to enroll as soon as possible and avoid the danger of being shut out of wanted jobs.
Enrollment久走 fairly smoothly with but no help from the faculty. Departments will be many distracting pointers today when the classes will close more rapidly and schedules will change again to conform to the constantly changing number of courses
All enrollments must be completed before Saturday night to avoid pay-
off. If you have not completed the Schedule of enrollment for students in the college for today is as follows:

Students Tour Library
Freshmen Learn How and Why of Checking Methods
Tours of Watson Library were started Tuesday afternoon for the benefit of all students visiting K-12 schools. At 5:00 last evening Charles M. Baker, director of libraries, reported that 97 students were through the library during the first afternoon.
Each year these tours are conducted in order that the new students who enter K. U. for the first time may become acquainted with the way in which books may be found, checked out, and the general use of the library.
Eight assistants under the direction of Mr. Baker have charge of the tours. In groups of about fifteen the new students visit the restroom and its purpose is explained to them. On the second floor the use of the library catalog is explained, and also the use of the reserve room, which is on the bottom
The tours will be conducted again this afternoon between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. of those who were unable to attend Tuesday because of enrollment or cancellation.
"It is hospitable that all those who do not attend Tuesday afternoon will await the arrival of our students on Wednesday," Mr. Baker said. "In doing so they save themselves trouble in the future as well as saving the life of their fellow students in trouble after school is under way."
Chancellor Gives Second Talk of Freshman Series
SIX PAGES

The first general conversation will be at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Chan-rui is going to give time this fall before the students as a whole. A special musical number will be an arn given by Merbah accompanied by Dean D. M. Swarthwell.
New Traffic Regulations Are Announced By Scott
U will turn will be allowed at either end of the one-way drive around the Administration building to John Scott. The department of buildings and grounds is now painting within the next few days.
Because of the larger number of K. U. auto licensees which will be issued this year the drive at east front of Watkins dormitory will probably be made a one way drive. If such is the case cars will be allowed to park on both sides of the car thus making more parking space.
In the past there has been disregard shown for these signs, "Scotty" said, but this year there probably a money fine for every violation.
The spaces in front of the sidewalks leading to the streets, have been painted yellow and within the parking signs will be painted on these.

The sales of the Jayhawk is rapidly getting under way, according to a study by the 700 Jayhawk. The sales are going faster, and more books have been sold for the forth-coming edition than ever before, for the same period of time.

A new price will be set for the price will remain the same in previous years, $4.75 for those who purchase their copy at the time when they pay their fees in the business season. Jayhawkers are ready for distribution the price will be $5.50.
This new system was started last spring in choosing members for the Jayhawker staff. Five men were picked, and the rest will be it is planned to advance these men each year, and have new members picked from the freshmen class at the university.

Anyone from the appraisal committee will be a member of the staff is asked to call at the Jayhawker office in the old common building and fill an app
Sam Dakin, one of the five selected last year, is not attending this event. This week he will be from the present sophomore class in the same way that the remainder of the class is going to.
