SPECTATORS SPECTACULAR—This candid shot of Saturday's basketball game crowd shows four degrees of enthusiasm exhibited about ten minutes before the end of the game when KU tied the score after trailing Iowa State all evening.
54th Year, No. 77
Enrollment May Hit 8,300, Up 764 From Last Year
The enrollment for the spring semester is expected to reach 8,300, an increase of 764 students over a year ago, according to James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions.
This is a decrease of 456 students, 6 per cent, from the fall semester as compared to a normal 10 per cent drop.
During the three-day enrollment period, 8,005 students registered but 200 to 250 late enrollees were expected. There are now 7,345 students on the KU campus and 750 students at the Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan.
Undergraduate students enrolling at KU for the first time number 175. The student body now includes 5,210 men, an increase of 501 over last year and 2,135 women, 262 more than last year.
Four Positions Open On K-Book Staff
Persons who want positions on the 1957 K-Book datebook and handbook staff should apply before Monday, Feb. 11 to Homer Paris, Kansas City, Mo., junior, 1621 Edgehill.
Positions open are editor, assistant editor, business manager, and assistant business manager.
Set In 20's,'Of Thee I Sing' Starts Tonight
John P. Wintergreen runs for president on a platform of love at 8 p.m. today, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in Fraser Theater. Wintergreen is one of the chief characters in the musical comedy, "Of Thee I Sing," to be presented by the University Theatre and KU Light Opera Guild.
Taken from the book by the same name, "Of Thee I Sing" scored as a hit in 1931 and won the Pulitzer Prize for its satire on politics, conventions and the 2-party system. It was written by George S. Kaufman and Morril Ryskind. In the 1952 election year the production was revived on Broadway. Music and lyrics are by George and Ira Gershwin.
"The setting for the play is in
the 1920's," said Dr. Jack T. Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama. "We have tried to capture the mood of those days in both costumes and makeup, from the heavy makeup to the rosy knees."
The audience will find itself not only watching a play, but in the midst of it, as cast members roam the aisles during a convention scene.
Another unusual feature will be a movie within the play. Begun by Bruce D. Dillman, Independence graduate student, the film was finished by John D. Branigan, Kansas City, Mo., senior. The movie, a news-reel scene on the election returns, was shot on campus.

Mo, junior, stars in the role of John P. Wintergreen, the presidential candidate. Beverly A. Runkle, Pittsburgh, and Sara Jo Pursley, Coffeyville, juniors, play the feminine leads as Diana Devereau and Mary Turner. Alexander Throttlebottom, the vicepresidential candidate whom no one knows, is portrayed by Dale J. Bellerose, Lawrence sophomore.
Cloudy southeast, decreasing cloudiness west and north today. Generally partly cloudy tonight and Tuesday. Colder south and extreme west today. Warmer east and south central Tuesday.

(Assistant Managing Editor of The Daily Kansas) If you plan to come to Kansas University next September, plan to pay more for your education. Also, plan to find buildings on campus not quite as nice as University officials want them.
Gals—Want Work As A Secretary?
Jayhawk secretaries do such jobs as typing, filing, selling Jayhawkers and Jayhawker subscriptions.
Entries for the annual Jayhawker queen contest will be received until 6 p.m. Wednesday, George Blackburn, Joplin, Mo., junior and editor of the yearbook, said today.
A limit of two pictures from organized houses may be submitted at the Jayhawker office in the Student Union. Students not living in an organized house may submit entries also. Blackburn said.
Queen Entries Due Wednesday
Secretarial positions are open on the Jayhawker for the spring semester. Girls who wish to work on the annual can get further information at the Jayhawker office in the Student Union, or by calling Jere Glover, Salina junior, at. VI 3-5800.
The Jayhawker staff will choose ten finalists and their pictures will be sent to a judge whose name cannot be revealed, but who is a "connoisseur of beauty," according to Blackburn. The winner will be announced in the final issue of the Jayhawker.
Members of Mortar Board and Sachem, senior honorary groups, are asked to have their pictures taken at the Estes Studios no later than Feb. 10. These individual photos will also be used as senior pictures.
Murphy To Speak In Topeka
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak on "Educational Problems Facing Kansas" at the Eggs and Issues Breakfast Club at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday at the Hotel Kansan in Topeka.
The Board of Regents increased dormitory board and room rates from $292.50 to $310 a semester effective September, 1957. These rates apply to Carruth-O'Leary, Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Corbin, North College and Grace Pearson halls.
Second Fee Increase
It was the second fee increase in a month. The Board of Regents had raised incidental fees $14 in December for resident students and $34 for non-resident students. Instead of paying $66, resident students will pay $70, and non-resident students will pay $165 instead of $131. Similar increases affected Kansas State College dormitory fees.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, said in an interview Saturday that the incidental fee increase didn't help the KU operating budget for 1958 at all.
Kansas University officials requested $12,950,760 for 1958. Gov. George Docking proposed to the Legislature a budget of $12,205,365, a cut of $745,395.
"The Regents increased the fees." Mr. Nichols said, "but the governor cut the request by that amount. It means the student pays more for his education."
"Competition over the country is keener than it was," Mr. Nichols said. "If salary differentials increase, competition with Big Ten and other schools will cause us to lose ground."
Gov. Docking did not allow certain capital improvements University officials requested. The projects requested were to widen West Campus streets, build walks and drives by the music and dramatic arts building at 16th and Naismith Drive, improve walks and drives by the engineering buildings, install a freight elevator in Strong Hall, and rewire the elevator system in Malot Hall.
The $10,000 request to buy art pieces was cut out of the current budget, Mr. Nichols said. Gov. Docking proposed $30,000 to repair the stone work on Spooner-Thayer Art Museum, but he cut the $10,000 request to buy books for Watson Library out of the operating budget.
