Record Frosh Class Enrolled
KU enrollment figures for this fall have set records in new freshman numbers and Graduate School enrollment. The figures have tied a new student record set in 1948, in addition to setting an all time high of 10,036 in total student enrollment.
James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, said the 2,038 new freshmen is a new record, supplanting the 1,984 of 1946 when the returning war veterans represented an accumulation of several high school classes. There are 507 more freshmen than in 1959. This fall's total is 33.1 per cent above last year's freshmen.
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL continued its steady upward surge with an increase of 10 percent to 1,647. These and other professional school students who already have earned bachelor's degrees constitute the second largest group within the University, approximately 2,300.
The new student total of 3,453 is second only to the 3,535 of 1946 when there were many thousands of veterans on the campus. This year there are only 1,096 and 671 of them receive no assistance from the government.
There are 9,325 students on the Lawrence campus, 614 more than a year ago and coincidentally exactly the same as in the previous record year of 1948. The School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kansas, has 719 enrolled, down 14 from 1959 but well above its 426 of 1948.
THE UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES are: freshman, 2,376; sophomore, 1,466; junior, 1,618; senior and 5th year, 1,847; specials, 122
Postgraduate enrollment at Lawrence is 1,896 with the remainder at Kansas City.
By schools enrollment is: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 3,771; Graduate School, 1,647; School of Engineering and Architecture, 1,614; School of Education, 877; School of Medicine, 816 (105 at Lawrence, 710 at Kansas City); School of Fine Arts, 624; School of Business, 401; School of Law, 143; School of Pharmacy, 83; School of Journalism, 67. This total includes duplicates and will slightly exceed 10,036.
THE IMPLICATIONS for future enrollments is apparent in the graphic representation of KU enrollments since the return of the veterans in 1946 through projections into 1965. After 1946, enrollment of new freshmen dropped off sharply but their effect on the total enrollment resulted in a record two years later which stood until this year.
In the years to come, with high school classes steadily increasing in size,the enrollment of the new freshmen will increase proportionately.

Hartley Simpson, dean of the Graduate School of Yale University, has written an article for United Press International, attacking American education from within—the administrator's views.
Many Students Unprepared for Graduate Work
American education has been attacked from many angles.
This is the last in a series of two articles.

Only about 20 per cent of the 1,800 colleges and universities in this country adequately prepare students to go without readjustment into major graduate schools.

This weakness in our educational system is acute because it exists at a time when the scholar — the disciplined holder of a doctor of philosophy degree — is more and more sought after by government, business, industry, and has become more and more a key person in the nation's future.

Serious weaknesses in the training of graduate students means poorer college faculties in the future, thus weakening the whole fabric of higher education in this country.
What about the future?
WITH THE GREAT surge in college enrollment in the past few years, the demand for top scholars who have earned Ph.D. degrees has also increased sharply because these are the men who are the backbone of any good college faculty.
Despite gloomy predictions, the potential of the nation's graduate schools is greater than has been estimated. By distributing the load among all graduate schools, the production of Ph.D's can be increased substantially.
The main hope of American higher education lies in finding good faculties, and the main hope of finding such faculties is centered in the major established graduate schools and the developing graduate schools.
NEW ORLEANS — (UPI) — Cursing housewives tried to block a white minister from taking his daughter into an integrated elementary school today but police held them back.
5 Attend School In New Orleans
"Take your hands off me," snapped the Rev. Andrew Foreman as a white woman reached past police guards to shove him. He was taking his 5-year-old daughter to her class at William Frantz school.
Despite the irate women, three more white students showed up at Frantz, bringing the total attendance to five—a Negro girl and four whites. Yesterday only two white students attended.
At McDonogh 19, three little Negro girls had the building all to themselves for the third day. White students, accompanied by their parents, went into the schools but soon came out with report cards and other papers necessary to transfer to segregated schools.
New Nation Asks UN Seat
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI) — The Islamic Republic of Mauritania, a semi-arid, sprawling territory in northwest Africa that celebrated its independence from France yesterday, today asked to become the 100th member of the United Nations.
Morocco charged that France gave Mauritania its independence, but with a puppet government, in order to retain control of the area and prevent it from joining Morocco.
There has been speculation that Mauritania's bid for membership may be vetoed by the Soviet Union, which last week supported Morocco's claim to the territory.
The application is expected to be submitted to the Security Council within a few days.
Morocco served notice following the Mauritania debate in the General Assembly's main political committee, which took no action on Morocco's attempt to block the Islamic republic's independence, that it will ask to be heard when the Security Council considers the new country's application for membership.

Two Staffers Eye Yule in Europe
Dean Taylor said:
Christmas will be ushered in with castanets instead of jingle bells for Emily Taylor, dean of women, and Eleanor Hawkinson, assistant dean of women. Dean Taylor and Miss Hawkinson are going to spend their Christmas vacation in Europe.
"It's all very exciting to me. This is the first time that I have been to Europe."
Painting Collection To Be on Exhibit
They will leave Dec. 16 by jet airliner. Six hours later they will be in Lisbon, Portugal. From there they will go to Madrid, Spain, for Christmas day and to Paris, France, for New Year's day. They will conclude their trip in London, England, and will return by Jan. 9.
Miss Hawkinson said:
"The planning which is necessary for a trip of this sort is almost as interesting as the trip itself. I have never been to Europe and Dean Taylor and myself are looking forward to a very enjoyable vacation."

"The exhibition will express how Dr. Fleischmann's scope in art broadened as his knowledge and taste developed," Bernstein said.
GERALD BERNSTEIN, curator of the Museum of Art, said the exhibition will be designed to show the private collection of an individual rather than to display groups of works by individual artists.

The Fleischmann Collection, he said, includes many extremely important examples of early twentieth century art, most of them relating to the Expressionist movement in painting. Works of Wassily Kandinsky and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner represent the German expressionist group.
in Topeka, and contains 114 items representing 75 different artists.
The Fleischmann Collection also includes a great number of drawings, etchings and lithographs by such distinguished artists as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Leger. Other highlights are five pencil drawings by the famous nineteenth century French artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautree and a rare pastel portrait by Edgar Degas.
THE AUSTRIAN, or Secession, movement is represented by works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.
"Two of these works are oil paintings by Maurice Vlaminck and Raoul Dufy, a leading exponent of this movement."
Bernstein said that one aspect of the collection is associated with another of the early twentieth century's exciting modern movements—the Fauve movement.
"Dr. Fleischmann has included in his collection many works in all media by masters of this movement," Bernstein said.
"The Fauve movement was interested in excitement in terms of color," Bernstein said. "In bright, loose, arbitrary, dynamic color."
BERNSTEIN POINTED OUT the painting, "The Room and the Rose," by Dufy as an example of art in the Fauve group.
