Energetic Little Machine to Keep K. U. Readers Versed in World
Affairs
"Iron Mike," successor to the telegraphing cell is making his debut with The University Daily Kansan this fall, to give The Kansan's readers full reports on the world of technology and the presidential campaign.
"Iron Mike," for those not up on paper newspaper, is an efficient little black box which sits off at one end of a table and puts in about nine hours a day, tickling off news at the rate of something like thirty-two words a minute.
Replacees "Pony" Phon
In the past the Kansan has secured its outside news over "pony" service, with a member of the staff sitting in the office. They have written a day copying messages sent over long distance telephone from the United Press Associations' bureau in New York.
But with the election this fall and with University readers wanting everything they can get on football, it is good to say that their sufficiency, so far "Tron Mike" will be or duty to tell students, and faculty members anything that is happening at university.
This little instrument is just an iron box, with a slot in the top for copy to come out. But inside the box is a complicated mechanism doing the work of a typewriter but don’t be confused because the most ambi bious engineer.

As copy is brought up, it can be instead of having words reproduced in front of him, he sees them cut out on a narrow tape which in turn runs through a recording instrument, closing and opening the tape for the same manner as the roller on a player piano closes and opens the air stops.

"U. P." Coverage Extensive
The United Press, which again with
supply Kuwait with its outside news
line is the biggest press association
in the world.
From the east coast of South America alone six cables carry news of the continent to the United States and news from North America back again, to supply approximately 42 million copies of the papers of the southern continent.
Events in the Orient are reported in the United States, at a cable cellphone of $3 a word. And from Europe, they watch a live television every two busy all hours of the day, telling the readers in America what is going on thousands of miles away, and keeping Kansan readers informed of sports, politics, and anything else of interest.
While outside events this fall will be reported more fully than ever, the Kansean will make improvements, to cover the Campus in areas of interest. Among other changes, George Church, an instructor in the department of journalism, will be on duty in the Kansean news room all the time to supervise students and provide their task of telling each part of the University what all the other parts are doing.
Huge Whale's Skeleton Discovered by Workmer
Hamilton, N. X., Sept. 16. —The enormous skeleton of a five thousand year old Greenland whale has been excavated and its bones are worked menhugging a ditch near the seashore. A monstrous jaw bone, already nearly unearthened, once accounted of its size, it was first taken by the workmen as a part of the museum's ancient vessel.
The bone has been examined by archaeologists, who estimate the whale to have lived at the end of the ice age, about 5,000 years ago.

Collection of Pledges to Union Building Fund Is Beginning This Fall
Payment of Debt to Open Way for Completion of Second Floor Hall
Collection of the pledges made b students for the memorial Union building will begin with the payment of fees this fall. It is napped that as many as possible will pay the $2.50 fee, or more, on behalf of the pledged or not, Fred Ellsworth, temporary chairman of the Union committee; said
A special Union committee under the present leadership of Mr. Ellsworth is now engaged in considering ways and means: ways of using the building for the greatest benefit of the most students and more securing the financial backing necessary to any program they may
That the Union building cannot be left in its present uncompleted state seem to be the consensus of all faculty committees, which is composed of both faculty and student representatives. However, if the plan were to be definite plans so early in the year.
"Keep your receipt," the word given by Mr. Ellisworth. It is placed ed to give some sort of credit for his contribution to the Union and holders of fee receipts will be shown some special privilege if possible in recognition of their loyalty, Mr. Ellisworth.
The cleanup campaigns among old pledgers is expected to be plotted about October. The U.S. Memorial Corporation, has succeeded in reducing the present debt on the building from last spring to only about $160,000.
About $1,100 given by the class of 1928 is ready to be turned over to the committee for use in reducing the debt.
As soon as the present debt can be cleared it is planned to go ahead in an effort to increase the facilities at the Union, which include bungalows, men's and women's lounges. Proposed improvements include a dance floor on the second floor, facility for basketball and a game room in the basement.
R. O. T. C. Uniforms Free
Nominal Fees Only Cost, Major
Cygon Emphasis
No expense for uniforms is attached to enrollment in the University R. O. T. C., it was emphasized by Major J. R. Cyron, head of the department of military science and tactics, Saturday. The only exception is the non-commissioned certain nominal fees, as uniforms are provided free of charge.
Drill may be substituted hour for hour for gymnasium; thus two hours may be substituted in the freshman year or one in the sophomore year. It is not required that uniforms must except two hours each week for drill.
Work done in the military department gives credit towards degrees to the maximum number of students it is similar in all respects to other University courses. Drill, the most visible evidence of the work, is Major Cyven pointed out.
The department will continue to sponsor the women's rifle team, which has been one of the most popular activities on the Hill in past years. The team was ranked as the champion of the United States in its class and last year's team is no less remarkable in the opinion of Major Cygon.
Enrollment is not an enlistment in the military forces of our country, the Major continued. It is purely academic and its problems are largely the

of Offering
With Will Rogers as the headliner, the lecture course which is part of the course will be taught by Mr. Will Burrell, popularizer of philosophy, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, nationally known as a thinker and author, Ray Chapman Andrew, who has explored not only unknown portions of the earth but volumes of biography of literary as well.

Nor is the lecture course by any means all that is included in the enterprise film. It also adduces to two forms of writing, one which will be presented in the new theater in Fraer law, the return to Mt. Oread of Prof. Allen Crafton, of the department of dramatic arts, and one which will be possible dramatic entertainment.
Hill Activities Included

Excursion ships for these tickets operate in the upper hull of central Administration building in case the student does not desire to purchase a ticket. The student must pay a new Union fee of $250 and a Jayhawk, University yearbook, will be charged to the student at the time of paying fees unless exemption is

Students Who Cribbed Used as 'Guinea Pigs' in Psychology Study
Cheaters at Colgate U. Found More Emotionally Unstable Than Average
Than Average
Hamilton, N. J., Sept. 14—The parasite student, who slips through college by cribbing information from more industrious or more brilliant students, is unfamiliar. Unknown to themselves, 30 successful cheaters at College University are Brown, Browne and used as laboratory specimens showing the metal and emotional traits of college men who cheat at examination—and get away with it.
Information about the 20 was obtained by underground and unofficial channels, Mr. Brownell states in reporting his investigation to the SEC. None of these cheaterers are official, even by a severe preventing system.
Eighty of the group were more liable, than the campus average, to perform well plus average in intelligence, and the majority belonged to the psychologist group. The good mixers also inclined to activity than to thinking.
"Contrasted with the student body the cribber becomes a psychological threat."
"His low intelligence may mask cheating somewhat of a necessity his extroversion may operate to refuse this. His emotional instability may make it easier for the spirit under the two-fold necessity."
More than half the college cheating could be eliminated if this paycheck was given to students. With the general type would go over of the "all round" college men who shine in team and track contests, the more colleges and other bookless college activities.
Orchestra Credit Given
Must Make Enroliments Now However, Director Says

Townspeople May Enroll for Music Instruction
Residents of Lawrence who wish to take private music lessons without credit at the School of Fife Arts will be enrolled at the Fine Arts office on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9 a.m., Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Music. This applies to all those not regularly enrolled in the University.
"In order to comply with new state regulation and avoid payment of fines, bills should be procured and the student be enrolled for first lesson," Dean Swarthout said.
Enrollment Nearly 800 on Saturday; Rush Is Due Today
Over 1000 Same Time Last Year, But Prospect Is Still Believed Promising
Approximately 756 to 775 students had registered for the fall semester at the close of registration Saturday for registration events at the registrar's office showed.
The Kansean files show that a year ago the number who had passed through the routine at that time was or about 275 more than this year.
At any rate, the answer will not be known until the complete check of registration figures is compiled by the registrar.
That this can be taken as a sign of a smaller enrollment this year seems doubtful, however. Several students will enroll in the account for the difference. Some employees at the registration tables believed that a year ago a number of students were registered before the new enrollment was for registration. Another hypothesis advanced is that the activities of freshman week have kept the new students, usually among the first to attend school,ittering in an great numbers as usual.
The registration line formed early Saturday. By 9:30 the tables in the basement of Administration building were completely filled, and by noon the table was full. West Administration corridor had strung out their accumulated length. Today, the last day of registration before enrollment begins, the crush is expected to be greatest on Wednesday, when the lowest registration usually occurs.
If parked automobiles constitute any sign, the expected record enrollment should materialize. If you are a began parking along the main campus drive, and ky 1 clocked filled every every day from Green hall to Marvin hall.
Tomorrow enrollment for classes will begin. Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will enroll at Robinson gymnastium according to the schedule of initial assignments. In other schools enrolment takes place according to special rules in the various schools.
