The June graduating class will be the fourth largest in history, according to figures released today.
About 1.000 students, including candidates from the Graduate school, who will be announced later, will finish June 8, Registrar James K. Hitt said.
The commencement program will contain the names of more than 1,500 persons who will have earned degrees and certificates since June, 1952. KU holds but one commencement a year and 499 degrees were voted in August and February.

The College furnishes 256 candidates. Next is the School of Engineering and Architecture with 113 and the School of Education with 102
Commencement exercises will be in Memorial stadium. Because of the academic procession down Mount Oread and the time needed for awarding diplomas, the remainder of the program will be brief. Governor Edward F. Arn, A. W. Hershberger of Wichita, representing the board of regents, and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak briefly.
The names of the senior candidates are listed on page 3.
Sabres Down 12 Red MIG's
Seoul, Korea — (U.P.) American Sabre jets shot down 12 Communist MIGs and damaged a 13th today in blazing dogfights over North Korea.
It was the second time this month the Sabre jets had accounted for an even dozen Communist-made jets. The record for a single day is 13
Major James Jabara of Wichita, history's first jet ace now on his second tour of Korea at his own request, shot down two MIGs bringing his score to nine destroyed, three probably destroyed and seven damaged.
Communist pilots came out of their sanctuary beyond the Yalu river and indicated they wanted a fight. They got more than they bargained for.
The kills today brought the score of MIGS shot down this month to 51. The record month was last September when 62 went down.

Most of the action was above Siniu jeu near the Manchurian border on the west coast of North Korea.
Sabre pilots sent five hurtling to earth in morning battles and damaged another. The MIGs came back in the afternoon and lost seven more of the expensive jets in deadly duels with the Sabres.

Fire Destroys Farm Building
Fire destroyed the interior of a two-story stone farm building owned by the University Endowment association about 10 p.m.yesterday.
Fire Chief John Miller said there was no indication as to the cause of the blaze. He said it apparently ignited in the back of the structure and was spread throughout by a strong wind from the south.
The structure, about two miles southwest of Lawrence, was vacant. Irvin Youngberg, Endowment secretary, said there was no appreciable property loss because the building was to be razed soon.
DR. BRIAN BREWER BLADES
Washington — (U.P.)—The United States today ordered a Romanian diplomat kicked out for trying to blackmail an American who risked the lives of his two sons by refusing to spy for the Communists.
Diplomat Ousted For Blackmail
The State Department told the Romanian legation to arrange "immediate departure" for Christache Zambetti, first secretary of the legation.
Mr. Zambetti, who came here in September, 1951, tried to blackmail V. C. Georgescu of New York into spying against America by offering special treatment for his two minor sons under Red control in Romania.
EDWARD S. MASON
In so doing, the State department said, Mr. Georgescu risked the lives of his sons. The inference was that the Romanian Communist regime can be expected to retaliate against Mr. Georgescu through the boys.
Mr. Georgescu, a naturalized American, rejected Mr. Zambeti's proposition and reported it to U.S. authorities.
The State department said its action against Mr. Zambeti was based on "carefully verified information."
The State department said Mr. Zambeteli called at Mr. Georgescu's New York home May 20 and "attempted to subvert Mr. Georgescu to collaborate with the Communist regime of Romania to the detriment of the United States government.

Hitt Asks Students To Give Draft Data
Students registered for Selective Service are urged to stop in the registrar's office before school is out and leave the names of their draft boards, Registrar James K. Hitt said today.
If a student has requested the office to send verification of his enrollment to his board this year, he need not come in again, Mr. Hitt said.
"It's important that we have the name of each student's board, since as soon as school is out we send reports to each board showing the class standing of each man," he pointed out.
The local draft board must have this information to decide whether to defer a student for another year of school, the registrar said.
