Eighteen Hundred Students Complete Enrollment Tuesday
Made
Forced Withdrawals Fro
College Number 175;
201 Registrations
Eighteen hundred students completed their enrollments Tuesday in the various schools of the University, it was indicated by figures approximated this morning. During the day there were a total of 201 new registrations at the registrar's office. At least two universities verson on all withdrawals and graduations were not available at a late hour this morning.
Withdrawals on account of grades at the end of the semester in the School of Medicine numbered four. There were only a few each in the Schools of Fine Arts and Education, Figures on the Schools of Engineering and Pharmacy are not yet available. In the college the number is 175, compared with 155 a year earlier. The percentage in the School of Law is lower than last year, but definite figures were not given out.
Nine Hundred in College
In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, an unofficial estimate understated that 306 students completed their enrollments at that time. An accurate count had been taken at noon, which showed 306 completed at that time. Progress was being made this morning at ab. 11h.
In the School of Engineering, approximately 300 enrollments had been completed when work was stopped last night. In the School of Pharmacy forty complete enrollments had been completed and forty portions were in progress. The School of Medicine had completed forty out of an expected fifty enrollments.
Law Classes Meeting
Classes in the School of Law began meeting this morning, and while definite figures were not learned, most of the enrollments had been made by this morning, although there are still a good many chances to take care of.
The School of Education had about 260 during the day yesterday. Fine Arts expected, the lighter than usual, only 19 being taken care of by this morning. This is presumably due to the large number of special students who put off their enrollment because of the bad weather. The total of the School of Religion was 440 yesterday.

Senator From California Wants Vice-Presidenc
(United Press)
Washington, Feb. 6—Senator Shortridge, junior Senator from California, is in a receptive mood for the Republican nomination for the Vice Presidency, according to his friends here.
He would like to be President Coolidge's running mate in the next election, they say.
The Senator's fancies were stirred by reports reaching him that some of his supporters in California had criticized the Senate for supporting Cool-Idea and Short-Idea.
California, his friends say, is the logical balancing state with Massasauchess and should supply the Vice Presidential nominee if Mr. Coolidge is chosen to be the Republican standard bearer.
Wells' Novels Reveal Character of the Man Says Miss Myra Hu
English Instructor Speaks Over
WDAF; Later Books Expose
Idealism of Novelist
To read the works of the eminent British novelist and historian, H. G. Wells, is to know the man himself, for he has revealed himself transparently in everything he has written; on instruction, he instructed in the department of English at K. U., who talked from station WDAF Monday on the subject, "The Message of H. G. Wells." "First read from his short stories, say The Count of the Blind," said Mr. Wells, of his early attempts, his fantastic romances, the best of which, in point of Literary technique, is perish, "The Invisible Man." "The speaker recommended the reading of 'Kippus' and 'Tono Bunyg.'" the latter being regarded by some critics as his best
"I would suggest the later novels for their revelation of the idealism of H. G. Wells," she continued, "You ask about The Secret Pieces of the Heart? It is the only thing I have learned in the novel. If it does not ring true, I can see nothing of Wells in it, except the love of experimenting, and whatever he was trying to do, he failed. "If you wish to arrive as speedily as possible at some of Mr. Wells' revelations, you must learn education, and religion, read 'The Salvaging of Civilization' (1921)."
"His writing is an analysis of a guide to the noble life," conclude Miss Hull.
Religious Work Popular
K. U.'s Newest School Draws Good Enrollment
"At closing time last night approximately forty students had enrolled in the School of Religion," said Forest E. Witrata, associate professor in the department of religion, this morning.
According to the records of last year the enrollment was more than doubled on the second day due to the fact that classes some students preferred to take their elective courses in the School of Religion. It the enrollment runs true to form it will mean that more than eighty students will be enrolled in the School of Religion and an cent increase over last semester.
"That an increasing interest is being shown by the student body in religion is pointed out by the fact that, since only three hours credit is given, the students enrolling now must have completed not and not old students come back," said Mr. Witcraft. "However," he added, "practically all of the students who have had courses in the department expressed the wish to take their classes, but not feel that could since only three hours credit was allowed."

Kansas Defeated in Third Contest With K.C. Team
Blue Diamonds Score 31 to Jayhawkers 23 in Game at Convention
Hall
The third time is said to be a charm, but such was not the case last night when Kansas played the Blue Diamond team of the K. C. A. C at Convention hall. The score, K. C. A. C, fell in an unexpected story of the game because it was a close one and full of fight. In 1922 the Jayhawk was beaten by two points, 34 to 32, and again in 1922 by a score of 27 to 23, so last night it was thought that the jinx would be broken but Kansas was found to have been one of the most enthusiastic crowd of 8,000 persons eagerly waited for the game last night and was treated to a game full of thrills. To George Williams, the tail center of the club's team, belongs a great deal of credit for the score. He caged seven goals during the Kansas course several times.
back outstanding
Inability to hit the goal may be said to have laid the game for Kansas. Time after time the ball was thrown so close to the goal that it brought the crowd to its feet but Kansas was "off" and seemed unable to get counters. In the other departments of the game the Aihwache looked good; the passing, dribbling, and light of the team was as good as the team's defense and won many admirers in the crowd.
Captain Black was the outstanding player for Kansas. His six field goals, passing, and coolness were all that could be wanted in a player. Ackerman played a good floor game but was so closely guarded that he missed most of them. Mushy came through with a big long baskets and played a good aggressive game.
Browning Brothers Good
Arthur "Pun!" Browning and his brother Mark were the mainstays of the K. C. A. C. team. Arthur Browning made five field goals and two free throws while his brother was holding Kansas to long shots. The first half was the closer of the three, but the second half in the club's favor. Three minutes before the end of the half the score was 12 to 7, but in those last three minutes Kansas made eight points while the other team was making two.

Explanation of Light as Series of Waves Disputed by Scientist
Dr. W. P. Davey Presents Nev Theory in Talk Before Franklin Institute
(By Science Service)
Philadelphia: What we know as light is not a series of spreading waves in the ether that was supposed to fill all space, neither is it a rain of infinitesimal particles shot off from the light-giving body, was once thought; but it is probably a rain of tiny darts of energy, in some ways like waves and in others like particles, said Dr. W. Kaiser, who was the director of the General Electric Company in an address before the Franklin institute here.
THE KANSAN,
J. D. Boggs, Cir. Mgr.
Each of the older theories explained some of the facts that were known about light, but not all of them, the speaker said. A*study of the matter, he wrote, is the theory that light was a rain of tiny particles extremely improbable. The old theory of waves spreading out from the source like those from a stone dropped in a pond, failed to explain why it is that when a ray enters a face, electrons of the metal try to jump out of it with the same velocity that the light rays strike it.
A combination of the two theories has been proposed by D. L. Sirkell, the laboratory of the Eastman Kodak Company, and Dr. Said. He thinks of light waves as thin search-light beams which he calls "darts." These are supposed to be electro-magnetic waves which do not spread out in all directions and cannot penetrate through the electron giving the light in beams of definite size which travel out in straight lines. The reason light appears to come from all directions is that there are many electrons in a radiating body that emits out light "darts" in all directions.
Just how an electron gives out light nobody knows, Dr. Davey said. One theory concedes of light being given out by the vibrations of electrons on the outside of atoms while vibrations of those on the inside cause X-ray radiation. The other theory conceives of an atom as a sort of whirling solar system of electrons and nuclei and that light results when an electron skids and slips from one sort of orbit into another. Both theories account for some of the observed facts.
Merchants Meet in Annual Short Course Sessions
Speakers Address Visitors on Commercial Problems in Three Kansas
Towns
The Merchante' Short Course which is being conducted under the auspices of the University extension division in Lawrence, Salma, and Hutchinson, has been under way for two days, and will be the last day of the course.
"Advertising is a reasonably certain investment if a business man will go into it as carefully as he does his other investments," declared Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism, at the ninth annual session in Lawrence yesterday. "Too much advertising seems to be the product of muscular effort only. To make the advertising really effective, an merchant must study his problem and the advertising," said Professor Flint.
Gave Set of Tests
He gave the merchants a set of tests by which they might form a better estimate as to whether their writting copy would "go over." He wrote the problem resolves itself into finding the point of contact between the goods or the store and the public.
"The advertiser who can appreciate the fundamental needs and desires of people can make it clear that the way to satisfaction of those needs lies through his store, is the man who creates advertising opportunities," he added.
Discuss Illegal Practices
Various plans for evading the Kansas anti-trafficking stamp law, and reasons why they were discussed by John F. Rhodes, from the office of Attorney General C. B. Griffith, speaking before the second annual University of Kansas Merchants' Short Course at Hutchinson.
"The use of soap wrappers, labels, and other objects had redeemation value in a specified kind of merchandise is illegal under the Kansas laws," said assistant Attorney General Rhodes.
Lotteries and games of chance as well as the Sunday closing law were discussed by Mr. Rhodes. Raffles where prizes are given to "lucky numbers" drawn from tickets sold at the door were declared illegal, as were also "prize package" or "grab prize". The winner of each article an article different in kind or value from that received by another customer paying the same price.
Book Exchange to Open for Business Tomorrow
Arkansas Man Speaks
It is vitally essential that the merchants meet the commonwealth in the Union make a thorough-going study from a non-partisan standpoint, not only of their own local problems, but of questions of national and international moment," was the statement of Ex-Gov. Charles H. Irwin, chairman of the breaking before the Merchants' Short Course in Lawrence Monday night.
The W. S. G. A. book exchange in Fraser hall will open Thursday, Feb. 7, from 19 until 12 in the morning, and from 1:30 until 4:30 in the afternoon, according to Margaret Bright, manager of the exchange.
Mr. Brough pointed out that the United States is enjoying a period of unexcapped prosperity. He suggested that farmers should obtain wisdom for the merchant to co-operate with the farmer in devising ways and means to shorten the bridge between the initial producer and the ultimate consumer, thereby giving it a greater purchasing power and to the merchant a more assured prosperity.
Students will write the name and price asked on the books, and leave them at the exchange. The exchange will keep 10 per cent of the uprice of the book, if sold, for operating expenses.
Miss Bright asks that the books be brought in as early as possible. The exchange will be open on the same hours Friday.

"The 1924 Jayhawkier is as far along as any of the college annuals; which we are printing this year," said Mr. Bassman, head of the college annual department of the Hugh Stephens Press of Jefferson City, Ma., the company which has the Jayhawkier printing contract. This com- mercial eight-college and university annuals, and many high school annuals.
"The senior class section in this year's book is the largest and most representative of its class in the history of the Jayhawk. Close to 800 students will have their pictures in the section this year. The junior class will represent the representative of the class which it represents," said Risimg.
"The Jayhawk is to be delivered about May 1," according to Ryland Petty, business manager. "The sale of the book will end Feb. 25. Until this time, the books may be purchased for $0.00. An extra charge of 50 cents is being made for placing an order in advance. If more than 1900 books are sold, a rebate of this amount will be made on each book."
Several changes have been made on the staff. Raymond Nicholas and Brewster Morgan have been added to the staff as sophomore assistants, and the department is being retrained to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Fay Thomas.

Senior President Calls Convocation of Entire Class
Much Will Be Accomplished in Few Short Meetings Near End of Term, Says McCoy
An all senior convocation will be held Thursday at 12 o'clock in Fraser chapel, according to the convocation committee. Wayne McCoy, president of the senior class, said this morning that he hoped all the seniors would be present and take an interest in the meeting.
This is the first meeting of the senior class this year. The reason that no meetings have been held previously, according to the president, is that more can be accomplished in a few important meetings and government time than to have them at long intervals throughout the year.
Committees to team.
The various plans of the senior class will work with the committee will make short reports. President McCoy will be the chief speaker at the meeting. Lewis Brotherson, chairman of the invitation committee, will make a short presentation to the committee will be distributed this year.
At this meeting it will be taken up whether or not the seniors are in favor of the faculty caps and gowns in the commencement ceremony. If so, the alumni committee, will make a short report for his committee.
May Have Class Dinner
The seniors will also be given a chance to decide whether they wont
participate in the meal as well as the annual class breakfast.
The various committees will hold a short meeting after the general meeting is over, according to President Obama. It is important and it is hoped that all of the seniors will take advantage of the opportunity to attend a meeting with their own class*, said President McCain, in an interview this morning.
Co-operative House Closes
Few Occupants Make Continued Operation Impractical
Wita Wentin, one of the women's co-operative houses maintained by the University will be closed next semester as there are not enough women to pay the operating expenses. At the end of the last semester, we are living in the house, while at least thirteen are necessary to operate it. Some of these women will fill vacancies left in other co-operative houses by women who are leaving school. Those who are unable to find employment in the house, will take their meals at one of them, while living elsewhere.
At present Dean D. M. Swarthout is living in the house, while his home, recently damaged by fire, is being repaired. When he leaves, the house will be rented, according to Dean Agnes Husband.
