Students wishing to try out are asked to call Ellen Proudfit for further information. The Revue will be held March 28 and 29.

K-State Has Victory Fire
The Kansas State Wildcats made a big step toward the Big 8 crown in their basketball victory Monday night and about 2000 to 3000 students let the town of Manhattan know how they felt about it.
The students chopped down two poles, used to support lights during the Christmas season, and used them to start a bonfire in Aggieville, a shopping center near the campus.
Police used loudspeakers to try to disperse the students but gave up and withdrew. Finally about 1500 students left for Ahearn Field House to wait for the team to return from Lawrence.

8,500 Expected This Semester
A spring semester enrollment of more than 8,500 is in prospect at KU this year, according to James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions.
There were 8,350 registrations during the regular 3-day enrollment period, and Hitt estimated late enrolments will total 150 or more.
Regular enrollments included 7,355 at Lawrence and 695 at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The Lawrence total is 310 more than the mid-year 1957 figure, but is a drop of 615 from the fall semester.
The decrease in enrollment is due to February graduations and the usual drop-outs, which overbalance the 322 new students enrollments on the Lawrence campus. Of the new students, 228 are men, 94 are women.
