Union Enlarges Stand
An enlarged concessions stand on the first floor of the Kansas Union greeted many students returning from the recent between-semesters vacation. The work had been done while they were away.
"We wanted to consolidate services and offer a better coverage for students, faculty, and visitors," explained Kevin Remick, manager of KU concessions, a department of the Kansas Union organization.
He said that the improvements had been in the planning stage for about six months.
The "new" stand includes information and ticket counters; check cashing, Union building lost and found, and checkroom services, and cards, games, and other merchandise for sale.
Mr. Remick explained that although the size of the stand has increased, the number of people working there is the same, five students part time and six full-time personnel.

Drop In ROTC Units 'Normal'
M. Sgt. H. E. Armstrong, sergeant major of the Army R.O.T.C., said the enrollment there is now 253. This is about a 10 per cent drop from the fall semester. This, he said, was only slightly heavier than the normal second semester slump. Most of those who dropped also dropped from school.
Air Force Sgt. J. E. Casteel said air science enrollment dropped from 232 to 174 for this semester. The freshman class showed the greatest decrease with 35 dropping. Enrollment for sophomore, junior, and senior courses was about the same.
Enrollment decreases in the Air Force, Army and Navy R.O.T.C. units for the second semester were termed "normal" today by officials in the military science department.
Enrollment in the Army and Air Force programs is still open to students with proper qualifications.
Naval R.O.T.C. officials listed their enrollment at 194 as compared with 209 first semester. The decrease was also primarily freshmen.
