Nearly eco students from dozen
states will start enrolling at Washburn
College tomorrow morning. The in
creasing reputation of the college is
shown in the presence of students
from such outlying states as Pennsyl-
vania, Texas. and North Dakota. Near
ly 100 of the total are from Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Missouri. and Iowa. To-
peka is expected to send about one
half the total attendance. Showing
the influence of the endowment cam
paign is the registration of many stu
dents from Kansas towns who have
hitherto supported other Kansas col
leges.
Better Engineering Course.
Owing to the enlargement of the
engineering courses the school of en-
gineering shows a big increase in en-
rollment to date and other students
, may be expected to enroll later in the
week. The unique advantage of a
four years engineering course, an as
sured position at the completion and
the advantage in practical work af-
forded by the Santa F'e offering the
use of its laboratories and workshops
is a big drawing card.
In addition to making the civil en-
gineering course complete, a complete
course in sanitary engineering will be
offered.
Another engineering departure which
is to be started a little later will be
work in technical trades the courses
in which will largely be offered at
night. This furnishes shop men who
have been taking correspondence work
in various trades an opportunity to
complete their studies in an actual
school
Technical Work
I'VE expect this to be one of the big
features of the future Washburn -
Professor Tillotson of the engineer
ing department., announced today.
There is not technical trades school
worthy of the name in tl.is entire sec
ton of the west and there is an in
creasing demand for one. Railroads
and several large manufacturing con-
Germs in Kansas are enthusiastically
for the esta blishment of such a de-
partment here"
From two to three years work will
be offered in electrical engineering,
architecture, architectural engineer
ing, mechanical engineering.
In Law School.
The law school expect an increase
in its enrolment of about 25 per cent
according to Dean Hughes.
No definite figures can be obtained
on the enrolment in the fine arts de-
partment but the strengthening of the
musical faculty by the addition of five
new professors is expected to assure a
substantial increase.
! F'rats Are Bus
Studies are to be the least of of the
Washburn students worries this week.
/ OF much more Importance is football
practice which starts today. Members
/ of Washburn's seven 'frdts" and so
rorities'' are working twenty-four
i hours a day rushing" the freshm IN
and making them think that their own
particular brand of Greek letter or
ganization is the only onliest.

| registration days in all departments
| of the school.
! Tuesday and Wednesday the college
/ V NJ. G. A. and Y. w. c. A will hold
