NEW YORK, N.Y. (1P)—La s t year American colleges and universities graduated thousands of students who had majored in such business subjects as advertising, economics, marketing, and public relations—but few members of the Class of 1955 had received special training in college business management.
According to a book published by New York University Press—"The College Business Manager"-no comprehensive program for training future collegiate financial officers exists in the nation. The author, Dr. E. Frederic Knauth, staff assistant in NYU's Office of Institutional Research and Educational Planning, says that there is a definite need for a course of study in this field.
Student Gives Graduate Recital
By FELECIA FENBERG (Daily Kansian Society Editor)
Richard Wright, Junction City graduate student, has a voice that will probably carry him far in the musical world. The tenor presented his graduate recital Sunday afternoon before a small audience in Strong Auditorium.
His singing is both forceful and delicate. His high notes are fine and clear, although occasionally strained, and his voice is full and expressive.
The program included short songs by Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Cuparc, Poulence, and Foudrain, and a group of Irish folk tunes.
The latter group was the most enjoyable part of the recital. Irish songs seem to be associated with tenors, and Wright's performance met up to all expectations. He put himself into the songs, and the sometimes sentimental, sometimes amusing songs received prolonged applause.
The highlight was the Scottish air "Annie Laurie" in which he best displayed all the faculties of his voice.
The aria "Il Mio Tesoro in Tanto"
by Mozart also was well done.
Sharon Tripp, Lawrence junior deserves special mention for her fine accompaniment.
CU Outlaws Bias Clauses By 1962
BOULDER, Colo. (IP)—The Board of Regents of the University of Colorado recently voted an "across the board" 1962 deadline for bias clauses. Fraternities and sororites with racial or religious discrimination provisions in their national constitutions of government must drop these provisions or face expulsion Sept. 1, 1962.
After nine and one-half hours of open hearings throughout the day, in which 63 speakers went to the platform, the governing body voted 4 to 2 in favor of the deadline.
Under terms of the ultimatum, no Greek group would actually be kicked off the campus until 1965. Those groups with discriminatory clauses would be denied pledging and initiating privileges. Thus these chapters would die out when the sophomores of 1962 graduate in 1965. Of the 24 fraternities on this campus, only seven have constitutional discrimination clauses. No sorority has such a clause.
Xavier Sets Up 2-Year Course
CINCINNATI, O. (IP)—The inauguration of a new two-year college course at Xavier University was announced by Rev. Gilbert F. Stein, S. J., dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The new program which will start next September is designated to fill two needs:
First, the new program will fill the needs of those students who, for various reasons, plan to spend only two years in college and have no intention of becoming candidates for degrees. Second, the new program will offer opportunities for special assistant to those students who, because of deficient background, could normally be accepted only on a probationary basis.

6 To Study Outside U.S.; 5 In Mexico,1 In Pakistan
Campus Vehicles To Use Decals
University parking and traffic regulations will require registration of all faculty, staff, and student cars beginning with the fall term of 1956. Registrants will receive an all-University vehicle decal, which will identify their cars as belonging to members of the campus family. The decal will be placed on the rear window.
Applicants for parking permits will fill out the usual form in addition to registering and then assign a designator to the common designated decorating zone assigned.
The decal, to be selected from suggestions submitted last week by students in the design department, will replace parking permits and metal tag inserts formerly used.
The Parking and Traffic Committee believes that the new system will identify campus cars more satisfactorily, and will solve the problem which arose this year when parts of the single 1956 license plate were hidden by the KU tab. The committee also believes that more prompt identification and notification of violators will keep tickets and fine totals from mounting before the offender realizes he has an excessive number.

Six students will study in Me and Pakistan this summer and fall.
They are William Witt, Garden City sophomore; Joan Miller, Girard, Mary Avison, Kansas City, Kan., and Rita Shoup, Wellington juniors; Ann Stevens, Lawrence senior, and Barbara Richards, Hays freshman.
Witt will leave for Lahore, Pakistan, in August. He will study at Forman College, an English-speaking Presbyterian school, under the Junior Year Abroad program sponsored by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church.
Pay Own Expenses
Under this program students are sent to Presbyterian schools in the Philippines, India, Lebanon, Switzerland, Spain, France, Japan, and Hong Kong.
"The students must pay their expenses but most of us will rely help from our local churches and student centers. In return, we write letters to them and speak on our experiences when we return," Witt said.
"Lahore is sort of a hotspot," he commented. "Within 300 miles are the borders of China, Russia, Iran, and Kashmir. It is full of international problems."
Witt will continue his studies in economics and will return to the University in 1957.
5 To Study In Mexico
