It began in many different ways for many different people. . . . The independent man ' s worries usually began with : How to get there? Even if his thumb was success- ful, he had to worry about getting a job. . . . The sorority girls ' worries began with rushee lists . . . and housecleaning! . . . All of us had to struggle through regis- tration. . . . One bright fellow used a type- writer to fill out the blanks. . . . And all of us, especially fraternity men, worn out from rush week, gravitated toward the jelly joints to slump and bull and drop nickels in the new at-your-elbow nickelodeon. . . . We marveled at the discovery of long- needed street-markers on Law rence street corners. . . . Altogether too many of us went to the opening varsity . . . we paid our fees and bought our Jayhawkers . . . and started to school. In the meantime, too, we managed to get through that inexplicable, indescribable, unpredictable ordeal called enrollment . . . waiting in line . . . consulting half-heart- edly with advisers . . . being told politely but emphatically by Dean Lawson that we can ' t do that . . . going home with schedule we hadn ' t planned on at all . . . but philosophically determined to learn something or other anyhow.

I THE OUTSTANDING fact about Deane W. .Mai. -it isn ' t that he ' s tall, dark, and hand- some or that he ' s only 41 years old or that the fraternity hoys called him Skunk when he was a freshman student. The important thing is that he ' s from Kansas. Born and bred in this Mate, schooled on the K.U. campus ilself. he ' s now the ninth Chancellor of Kansas University and the first Chancellor to I Mr those qualifications. You say he ' s spent fourteen years in Harvard and probably has a lot of Eastern ideas? That ' s so much imagination. As logically say that he ' s going to install pineapple-growing here because In- once supervised part of that industry in Hawaii. He does have a lot of ideas and he won ' t hesitate to bring them out for public observation, but they ' ll he down-to-earth ideas that belong in Kansas and are a profit to Kansas. Mr. Malott thinks in terms of Kansas. Granted that it ' s going to be hard for a while, after so many years away. Still, it is all the more his earnest purpose to adapt himself to the needs of his state and his University. Mrs. Malott is the one that might more logically find it hard to adjust herself to new backgrounds. But she isn ' t having any trouble! In fact, she ' s rather enjoying it already. She likes Kansas, she says, though it would be just as well if it got a little cooler. As for the children, they ' re hardly conscious of any transition at all. There ' s still school, you know the reports might be a little different at Cordley grade school, but Edith still uses Daddy ' s encyclopedia and soon there ' ll be music lessons again for all of them. Bob has made a smooth transfer of football loyalties- he ' s on the spot at K.U. varsity practices every afternoon. And one can ' t imagine bright-eyed, bright-haired Janet being very bothered over en- vironmental changes, either. If there ' s any adjustment worry, it ' s tied up with the inevitable: too many people want to see and hear the new Chancellor and his wife. The hundreds-long line at the Faculty Reception was a mere introductory taste. There have been luncheons and dinners and receptions and speeches and meetings and alumni get-togethers uncountable. Besides these, Mrs. Malott has At Li- desk he finds plenty to do to keep him serious . . . hut at the an- nual reception his smile was just as broad at the last as at the first . . . and even eipht or ten speeches a wci-k ran ' t pet him down. ,, by An Wolf)
