UNIVERSITY ASSUMES DUTY OF REGISTRATION
Students Wishing to Stay for Commencement Need Not Worry About Enrolling
OFFICE OPENS THURSDAY
Pauline MacCatherine Duly Au thorized to Take Names Until June 5
Students who wish to remain in Lawrence for Commencement need not worry about registration under the new conscription law. Registrar George O, Foster and Prof. J. J Wheeler, University marshal, have arranged for all University men of the designated ages to register, at the business office window at Fraser Hall.
Miss Pauline MacCatherine has been deputized for the work and will be ready to receive applications for registration Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. Men may register Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday, May 31, and June 1 for a tour from eight to twelve in the foreoon, and from one-hirty to five o'clock in the afternoon.
Instructions in regard to the registration will be posted on the bulletin board by the business office window and those wishing to register are being requested to familiarize themselves with the instructions Wednesday in order that the work of registration may be lightened.
FACULTY MAY REGISTER
Members of the faculty whose homes are not in Lawrence may also register at Fraser, according to County Clerk Brune, since the object of opening a registration office at the University is to relieve the county clerk's office of some of the burden, and at the same time make the work of registration easier for members of the University.
Faculty members or students, living in Lawrence who are to be out of the city June 5 may register County Clerk's office before June 5.
Each student who appears for registration will be required upon application to hand to Miss MacCatherine a slip bearing his name, permanent address, and the day, month and year of his birth. His is accepted by law requiring that the registration card be filled out by the one in charge of registration.
Residents of Lawrence will not be allowed to register, if they are to be in the city, until Registration Day, June 5.
ADVISE EARLY REGISTRATION
On account of the fact that all blanks must be filled in by the registrar, Miss MacCatherine is requesting that not all care that care that care be taken that there are not too many left for registration the last day.
It is desirable that those who live at a distance register the first day, because the registration cards must reach the student's home precinct by June 5. Only those who live near home should wait until Monday to register.
The names of all men who register will be taken and certified to by Miss MacCatherine, so that in case any registration card fails to reach the student's home by June 5 on account of bad mail service, the student will not be subject to the penalties provided for those who fail to register.

WAR MAY CHANGE COURSES
College and Medical School Plan to Change Schedules to Meet War Time Needs
That the war may entirely revolutionize the University is shown by statements given out the last few days by heads of departments and other faculty members of the University. The changes that may be brought about are definitely decided upon yet, but all departments are waiting in readiness to change their schedules and courses to meet the needs of the war.
"The University authorities have realized the probability of the University changing its schedules and courses to meet the needs of the country in war time," said Dean Templin. "The steps will be taken will depend upon the course of events which now cannot be foreseen."
No new courses have yet been outlined for the College, according to Dean Templin, but any new courses will be offered if necessary or exigencies of the crisis will be offered.
The University School of Medicine, according to Dr. John Sundwall, will continue its work at its greatest capacity before the entrance of the United States into the war. are the same under normal conditions. For years the school has been over crowded, and, judging from applications for end-education, it is evident that the number of students will be greatly increased.
The Book Exchange will be open Friday from two until four o'clock.
STRONG SENDS LETTER TO EACH H. S. SENIOR
Chancellor Writes to Prospective Students Telling of Need of Educated Citizens
Chancellor Strong has sent a letter to every student graduating from a Kansas high school this spring, asking them to consider the advantages of K. U. He points out the fact that a college educator or college man and women, for engineers, doctors, and scientists during the years of the war. Women must also be fitted to take their places in industrial and professional life.
It's a Pleasure
I venture on behalf of the University to call your attention in these troubled times to the fact that it is very important that high school students continue their course of study both in the high school and in institutions of higher learning. Especially is this true of students below the age set by the selective college, well-qualified and society-aged who for one reason or another are not called upon to fight for their country. It will be a calamity if the general standards of intelligence and education in our country be lowered because of the war. It is of great importance that educated men and women be at hand to have a part in the reconstruction which must take place after the war is over. Our country cannot enter a world war like the present one without being subject to great and even additional economic and social changes may even touch our political system with the result of more completely democratizing the nation. All these great questions must be settled largely by educated men and women. They can do so ten years, as unfortunately it may, an undiminished stream of well trained scientists and engineers will be absolutely necessary for the Government service. Especially will it be necessary, as has been pointed out by the Government, that young graduates continue their work and finish their course at the earliest possible moment.
to us to have the opportunity of thanking the Faculty and Students of the University for your most generous patronage during this past school year.
The Chancellor says in his letter
In addition, the scientific and industrial life of the country must be kept at a high level during the war, and after its close must be maintained to a minimum over a reason, therefore, why the stream of young people into high schools and then into colleges and universities should continue, and if possible be enriched with more students as along with other institutions of higher learning in the state
We wish you a very pleasant Summer

S. S. Weinard, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture is in Lawrence this week, working with the department of entomology in a state wide survey for pine-leaf blister rust.
