Y.M.C.A.WELCOME NEW STUDENTS
ENTERTAINMENTS PLANNED FOR FIRST WEEK.
Employment Secured For Those Desiring it—Advice on Rooms And Boarding Houses.
During the first week of school all the trains will be met and the new men will be taken in charge by the old men and helped to find rooms and boarding places. During August a thorough canvas of the city is made for rooms and boarding places as well as for employment. These lists are kept at Myers hall where they are open to all men, whether new or old. A list is also kept at the Registrar's office in Fraser hall.
The University Y. M. C. A building is now being enlarged and will be ready to serve as headquarters for the freshmen when they arrive in Lawrence next September. The headquarters are in Myers hall on Mount Oread where the freshmen will always be welcomed and made to feel at home.
Myers hall during the week of registration will be open every evening and special entertainment will be provided. In this way it is hoped to make the freshmen feel glad that they are here and also to forget that they are not at home. The first big entertainment of the association attended by all the men and faculty members, will be given on Friday evening, September 15. Two weeks after this the joint reception with the Y. W. C. A. will be held Throughout the year other parties are given at frequent intervals. Every Thursday evening for forty-five minutes meetings are held which are addressed by prominent men of the state and country. These are always looked forward to with interest.
A special employment bureau is maintained in connection with the association work and here the students may secure work waiting tables, washing dishes, carrying papers, doing odd jobs about the new houses being built, and other kinds of work. During the present year 155 odd jobs and 61 permanent positions were filled. This department, as well as the association work, is in charge of a general secretary, H. C. Herman or "Dad," as the fellows soon learn to call him. For any special information a letter dropped to him at 1300 Oread Avenue will be gladly answered. He is in Myers hall throughout the school year and no student ever hesitates to go to him and ask for information or assistance in any trouble that he may find himself He and the other fellows are always at the new men's service and only ask for an opportunity to show that they are desirous or making the freshmen feel at home.

HOW TO REGISTER NEXT SEPTEMBER
ENROLLMENT BEGINS OFFICIALLY SEPTEMBER 13.
Eleven Men And Eleven Women Advisors Will Help Freshmen Get Started.
When the first year student arrives in Lawrence in September he should immediately proceed to the "Hill" with his high school entrance credits and register. In the registrar's office the freshman has his credits examined, and fills out various information slips. After the registration comes the actual enrollment in classes but no student will be permitted to enroll without first showing his receipts from the registrar.
For the freshmen there will be eleven men and eleven women advisers. It is the work of these men and women to give advice concerning enrollment to students individually. The work of the adviser does not end, however, with merely helping the student to fill out enrollment cards; they have supervision over the student during the entire year.
Enrollment will take place in the gymnasium beginning officially Wednesday Sept. 13 and extending through Thursday and Friday. The advisers will be in their places on these days from 8 to 12 and from 2 to 5.
"The advisers," says Prof. L. E. Sisson, "desire to assist the students in every way possible. They hope that the students will consult them not only about school work, but about any matters in which the advice of an older friend might be helpful."

After making out the enrollment cards, the student goes to the assignment committee from which assignment slips are obtained showing at what hours and in what rooms the student is to attend classes. The student will then be ready for classes on Monday, Sept. 18.
Registration and enrollment should both be completed in two or three hours depending on the regularity of the student's credits.
