THE HONOR ROLL The names of one hundred eighty-eight students in the College last year are included in the annual deen's honor roll announced a short time ago. This group represents less than 10 per cent of the total members in the freshman, sophomore and junior classes of last year. This list was chosen by members of the faculty under whom these students had had work during the year. To have made the honor roll signifies that the scholastic achievement of this group has been considered of sufficient merit to justify special recognition. It is fortunate that not too much emphasis is placed upon the honor roll. It is conceivable that the practice of announcing "honor students" might well be chandoned. As long as scholastic achievement is based upon the present system of grading, the criteria for picking "honor students" will be arbitrary and inaccurate. An "honor student" may have achieved his grades because of having neglected all other school interests. He may have received them unfairly. He may have received "cribbed." The honor roll does not tell. Many students, however, attained the honor roll while at the same time maintaining a proper balance of participation in school activities. Many, and it is hoped most, of them came by their achievements honestly. Often it is seen that those with the highest programs carried off the highest scholastic honors. For this group, the honor roll is a proper and appropriate recognition. STUDY YOUR SCHEDULE Enrollment for the school year 1929-30 starts today. To the old students who are returning, enrollment is an old story, something accepted as more or less of a mix-up, but something which is to be endured and gotten through with as soon as possible. But to new students, especially those who have never enrolled at other places, enrollment is a bewildering maze of strange persons and stranger courses, from which they feel lucky to escape with even one of the courses they thought they would like to take (provided, of course, that they thought about liking to take any at all). And, as Shakespeare frequently has been accused of saying, "there's the rub." Enrollment is a time of bewilderment and confusion chiefly because of students who do not plan their courses before going to enrolland who do not know what they want to take. Naturally, with a large registration, there must be some confusion. But the administration has tried to eliminate as many as possible of the difficulties, and the rest depends upon student co-operation. Folders explaining carefully the requirements for enrollment and full class schedules for the semester have been obtainable at the dean's office the past week, and have been distributed to many of the students. A careful study of these schedules and a well-informed idea of what he wants in the mind of each student will just about cut in half the time taken for his enrollment, and will more nearly insure his getting work that he wants. Advisers will be plentiful, of course, but advisers are for students who do not know just what they want, and even advisers appreciate help. So, before going to coroll, STUDY YOUR SCHEDULE. JAYHAWK FOOTBALL After several seasons of indifferent success on the gridiron, football as reflected in the prospects and attitude of coaches and Kansas sports followers, is on the incline at Mount Oread. While many alumni are wag- owing that the Jahawk will wipe up the Big Site conference, Coach Caryhagg says that they expect too much. Dr. F. C. Allen assures the best team and coaching staff in ten years, while several of the staff, Fred Ellsworth and Maurice Breedlenth of the alumni association, are canvassing the larger cities of the state for support and season ticket sales. With this lively activity many huge and promising candidates for Kansas football teams in the future have been attracted to the University, and bid fair to uphold the prowess of the Jachawk for some time to come. Eighteen letter-men will place veteran material in every position, leaving the newcomers a hard task in their fight for varity births. Sophomores are erratic and may flick or star. Experts' doff often goes wrong, but despite all predictions one way or the other, it appears that the University students will have ample cause to root in our own or other stadiums when Kansas meets her scheduled foes. Prospects look good—that cannot be denied. The rest is yet to come, but surely continued optimism cannot dearm to the grid destinies of the Jay-hawk. SPECIAL ENROLLMENT The faculty committee on specimen enrollment each semester is besieged by a large number of students seeking to enroll as special students in order to waive certain prerequisites, or otherwise to be released from various requirements set by the administration. Some of these students have very good excuses for special enrollment; others have very meager ones. It would be well for this group to weigh well their reasons for desiring to enroll as specials before approaching the committee. If they realize that their case is not very strong, they will save themselves considerable time by dropping the idea. The special enrolment committee is not easily fooled. Students are allowed to enroll as special for very good reasons. As the term implies, it is only under special circumstances that such enrollment is allowed. Obviously, cases arise, for example where persons older than the average student desire to take a few hours work in the school for various reasons. It would be foolsish to require them to enroll as freshmen and be subjected to the various requirements set to form the ground work for regular students. Others may have had experience outside of school to give them background for courses, without having had actual prerequisite class work. They are allowed to take advanced work. Various other circumstances may arise to deem it advisable to admit persons as special students. But more often it is the case that students for no other reason than a耻笑 for required subjects, or perhaps an incomplete consideration of school plans, seek special enrollment because that may appear to be an any way to less work. Such students do little more than bother the committee. They do not become specialists." If you skip the advertisements you miss half the news.

No freshmen in college can ever realize what he or she is in for until after the first few weeks. Many freshmen do not realize that college is just a continuation of high school. There is really no comparison between the two. Of course college is hard; but did you ever see anything worth while that was easy? A LITTLE ADVICE Every freshman should start to study at the very beginning of the year—that is, if he intends to make anything out of it. The library is a very good place to Your grades will mean much to you and will give you full credit in any other college or university. You are the only one responsible for them. If you are failing, the teachers aren't too worried; you all the time to raise your grade. Concentration is the best means of adopting yourself to study. If your mind once wanderers, you are completely lost until your mind is back In short, the best advice to college freshmen is "Take your work seriously and give it your best efforts."
