The New Jersey State Board of Public Accountants has just advised Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business of the University of Kansas, that this school has been approved for registration by the State Board, on the basis of the accounting major offered in the Kansas School.
Registration by the Board means that graduates of the School who have completed the minimum requirements of the Board for courses in accounting, law, finance, and economics, have met the educational requirements for admission to the CPA examination in New Jersey. Under New Jersey rules, only graduates of registered schools may take the examination in that state.

Cunningham Will Not Coach
May Travel as Physical Education Lecturer for Extension Division
Glenn Cunningham, a graduate of the University in '34, who accepted a position in the University Extension Division last Friday, is still uncertain as to exactly what his job will be. One thing, however is definite. He will not do any coaching. Glenn wishes to compete in the 1940 Olympics and coaching would make him ineligible.
Cunningham will, in all probability, travel for the Extension Division, lecturing on physical education in high schools and other institutions.
Glenn is perfectly qualified to teach. He was graduated from the School of Education in 1934 and took
his Master's degree at the University of Iowa two years later. Last month he received a Ph.D. from New York University.
Cunningham has one of the most amazing records in the annals of the sporting world. Coming to K.U. in 1330 after having made a name for himself as a runner for Elkhart High

Two Chancellors Have Governed University for Half Its 72 Years
A building program, begun soon after Chancellor Lindley was inaugurated, has brought to completion the heating and power plant, Frank Strong hall, Watson library, Hoch auditorium, Memorial Union building, Memorial Stadium, Snow hall, and Corbin hall.
Two chancellors have governed the University through half of its 72 years of existence. Dr. Frank Strong was chancellor for the 18 year period from 1902 to 1920. From 1920 to the present date Dr. Ernest H. Lindley has been the executive and has, this spring, equalled the tenure of his predecessor.
The administration of Chancellor Lindley has been marked by a vast increase in student enrollment and in University facilities. There has also been a great advance in educational and administrative policy.
The group of buildings contributed to the University by Mrs. J. B. Watkins which include Watkins hall, Miller hall, the Watkins Memorial hospital, and the home for hospital nurses have been erected in the past 12 years. Changes also have been made in the engineering laboratories and in the home economics practice house. Dyche museum is being reconditioned at present, and the frame building west of the library, first used as a University cafeteria, has been altered and is now used by the School of Medicine.
In 1923 the first steps to establish a class "A" school of medicine and a student hospital in Kansas City, Kan., was begun. This project has made excellent progress, but is far from

"Star Dust"
Proves Hit
In Concert
A swing version of Hoagy Carmichael's modern popular classic, "Star Dust" proved to be the hit of the Mid-Western Music Camp band's concert in Fowler grove Sunday evening.
Led by Guest Conductor Ralph Rush of Heights high school of Cleveland, Ohio, the band played to a large audience a program ranging from popular Sousa marches to the classics. Featured were Rossini's rollicking overture to his opera, "The Barber of Seville," and a paloise from the opera, "Christmas Night" by Rimsky-Korsakoff.
