Registrar Foster Explains Duties Through KFKU
Program Also Included Vocet and Piano Solos and Talk by W. A. Dill
"More than forty-eight thousand students have matriculated at the University of Kansas since it first opened its doors in 1896," said Gee O. Foster, registrar, radioclasting last night, from KFKU, the University of Kansas visiting station. During this time 10,574 students have been graduated.
When one considers the variety and number of duties the Registrar's office performs for students, such as examining credentials, determining amount of fees, registering, compiling of data, recording and filling grades, and engrossing and mailing out diplomas, to say nothing of filling out hundreds of letters and sending hundreds of impulses, one can see something of the work the office does, he further explained.
Approximately 1,500 students apply annually for admission and this necessitates the examination of their credentials. Then a complete record of grades for five or more courses in 6,000 registrations per year are recorded in this office, and as the average student takes five courses, something like 60,000 grades must be filed in the course of a year. Aside from these little duties the retraining serves on various compulsory tasks that takes an active part in student life.
Others who contributed to this program were, Miss Mina Dorn, instructor in the School of Fine Arts, who sang a number of vocal solos, Prof. Howard C. Taylor, also an instructor in the School of Fine Arts, who played piano, Prof. Wafu A. Dili, director of the K. U, news bureau, gave a short interesting talk on "The Handling of 'Sport News.'"

Special Board to Convene Monday for Probing Recent Aircraft
Charges
(United Press)
Washington, Sept. 18—Advancing along three different lines, the administration today concentrated on the aircraft inquiries designed to vindicate army and navy policy or to substantiate Col. William Mitchell's unit of departmental "incompetence, criminal negligence and almost treason."

2. At the navy department, Rear Admiral Hirishi Jones completed arrangements for the Shenanadh disaster intervention will contain the Monday.
3. The judge advocate's general offices at the war department was drawing up formal charges of mberunion against Mitchell, for the court-martial trial in Washington in about two weeks.
Chairman Doughty Moscow, intimate friend of the President, told his fellow embassy social board that economy would be necessary, since there is no congrational appropriation for the probe.
Economy Will Be Necessary
The board has definitely decided to call witnesses from the war, navy and postal departments, and Mitchell and other prominent officials later.
Mitchell will hold the center of the stage during two and possibly all three acts of the investigation.
Summons Probable for Mitchell
Complications will increase if Mitchell is summoned before the Sheenac duchy inquiry at Laketown, as antidote to a lawsuit denied today that Mitchell had been invited to appear and substantiate his serious charges of navy negligence as a cause of 14 wards and of the Shenandoah destruction. He added, however, that such a summon was probable.
War department officials declare that Mitchell should be made to explain his accusations against the navy as well as those concerning the army

"Paul Whiteman, the wizard with his orchestra, carries a personnel of 25 staring artists; the one and only John Philip Sousa on his fifteenth trip from camp to coast brings his great band of 60 to 70 players; while the remaining rectacles given by Five Dancing in quality as well as quantity of which the University may well be proud."
