Fee Payment Simplified, Registrar Says
Payment of fees, which start Monday, will be simplified this year to increase ease and speed of operation for both student and administrator, according to James K. Hitt, Registrar.
When paying fees, students will go down the west stairway of Strong Hall to the basement. They will pick up their fee cards from tables marked alphabetically located at the west end of the basement. They will then move to the east end of the basement and pick up identification cards, which will be placed on tables marked by student number.

Students will then take both cards upstairs to one of the cashier windows in the business office located at 121 Strong. The fee card and identification card together with fees will be given to the cashier, who will return the identification card to the student.

Students whose fees are paid by scholarships or by the Veterans Administration must also go through this fee payment process. The students' identification cards will be received by the cashier and the responsible party will be billed.
Fee payments begin according to the student's last name. Those whose names begin with letters A through F pay fees Monday, G through L; Tuesday; M through R, Wednesday; and S through Z, Thursday. Payments can be made anytime from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

laboratory. Prof. Hoecker collected the papers as a delegate to the International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva, Switzerland. They have been shipped to the laboratory by the Atomic Energy Commission.
The file includes a copy of the conference program, which serves as an index to the papers, and the conference journal listing titles of papers and authors.
"There are approximately 500 papers which were presented by the delegates from the various 72 countries represented," Prof. Hoecker said. "The chief contributors were the United States, England, Russia, and Canada, although many of the smaller nations contributed in certain fields."
Most of the papers cover the latest research results not previously published, he said. The collection covers the up-to-the-minute status of nuclear science in the world, he added.
"Every aspect, theoretical, experimental, and practical application of the field of atomic energy was covered in detail at the conference," Prof. Hoecker said.

"Because of the number of students and staff members who will be interested in the papers, the fact that no duplicates are available and the lack of secretarial assistance, it will not be possible to check the papers out of the laboratory," Prof. Hoecker said.
"The environment is appropriate to the subject and students and the faculty will be made as comfortable as possible."
Prof. Hoecker said several of the papers are in Russian. Translations are also available.
Hiatt's Defense Set For Today
TOPEKA, Kan.—(U.P.)—Ousted state purchasing director Eugene W. Hiatt, fighting for his $10,000 a year job in a tense civil service appeal hearing, was expected to parade two dozen witnesses for his defense to the stand today.
The hearings resumed at 9 a.m. in the Kansas Supreme Court Chamber.
Chapter 10
The courtroom was crowded yesterday when Hiatt's boss, Martin M. Kiger, executive director of the department of administration, appeared as a principal witness against the official.
In supporting charges that Haiti was "insubordinate, non-cooperative, and guilty of misconduct in office", Kiger cited three alleged examples.
Haitt called for sealed bids on state boiler insurance without authority to do so and point-blank refused to return the bids unopened after being directed to do so by the Governor and Kiger.
Hiatt was asked to make studies on the sale price of state cars and the cost of oil and gasoline for state vehicles, but was "too busy" to furnish the requested material.
procedures in Haiti
But Haiti's attorney, Arthur J. Stanley Jr., of Kansas City, attempted to bring out in cross-examination that on many occasions Haiti cooperated by offering information about operations of the state purchasing division.
Today's testimony by Hiatt's supporters may well be the most sensational of the hearing. Hiatt may seek to prove his claim that Gov. Fred Hall purged him because of political differences and because he blocked the governor's payment of campaign obligations.
It was very difficult to learn procedures in Hiatt's division.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE—Through the morning rainfall and the intricate watering system set up on the lawn in front of Flint Hall, Dick Walt, junior of Girard, makes a running dash towards the entrance of the building. The watering system was in operation for about an hour during the morning rain.
As far as William Hope, author of Broadway smash hits "Come Beck, Little Sheba," "Picnic," and "Bus Stop" was concerned be was back home when he arrived last night in Lawrence by train.
In his undergraduate days at the University in the 1960's Mr. Inge was a student of Prof. Alan Crafton of the drama department. Many of the tricks of the theatrical writing were passed to him by Prof. Crafton as Mr. Inge "haunted Fraser theater" home of the KU dramatic productions.
The native of Independence, Ken,
indicated that although his present stay will be only for a few days he may later become at least a partial resident of Lawrence.
Mr. Inge is at the University to help in casting and production of his play "Picnic", which will be presented Oct. 26 by the University Theatre.
Mr. Inge previously had talked with Prof. Crafton about the possibility of becoming a resident writer at the University.
Wants A Place To Relax
"I have been toying with the idea of having a place to come and re-ack during the school year, and EU would be the ideal spot. Of course the details on that would have to be worked out later. Eut, this possibility cannot be considered for about a year," he said.
Mr. Inge is assisting Lewin Coff of the drama department in the final casting sessions for "Picnic." He will stay in Lawrence about a week. He will then go either to New York or Hollywood in connection with the filming of his plays. He will be here on the opening night of "Picnic," though.
Prof. Crafton greeted Mr. Inge when he arrived in Lawrence. But it was not just a normal reception Prof. Crafton has been a guiding force in any success that he has had as a playwright, said Mr. Inge.
Prof. Crafton recalled a letter received from Mr. Buge in 1983 just after "Come Back, Little Sheba" had been written. It read in part, "I have written my heart out. If the play doesn't make it I'm through."
Auditions Begin Tonight
About that same time Prof. Craffon received a request for recommendations for "a fellow named Ingel" who had applied for a job as drama instructor at the University of Illinois. A short time later "Sheba" was accepted and produced.
"I was just a green kid from in-dependence, with very few deep experiences," Mr. Inge said. "I value my training at the University very highly."
Singers of popular and classical music and dancers will audition from 7 to 9:30 tonight and tomorrow night in Fraser Theater.
The names of persons appearing will be listed for casting in future productions. Lewin Goff, director of the University theater, said today.
of the University Theater and the Light Opera Guild will present The Broadway musical, "Carousel." Feb. 6, 7, 8, and 10. 1956. The theater, with the music department, will perform the opera, "Cosi Fan Tutte." April 30 and May 1 and 2.

Dean Thomas Gorton of the Fine Arts School, Gerald Carney, director of the Light Opera Guild, and Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor of music education, will audition the singers.
