University Daily Kansan STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Faculty Discuss Substitute Plan For Languages
A substitute for language requirements was discussed and forwarded to the executive committee of the College faculty for further study at a meeting Tuesday. A request from the department of physics for revision of their pre-requisite requirements was also tabled for more detailed investigation.
Requests were made by the journalism and psychology departments for additional courses. The journalism department asked that a two hour junior-senior course in public communications promotion be added to the curriculum and the psychology department asked for a five hour junior-senior course in physiological psychology. These requests were passed on to the administrative committee for further study.
The faculty proposed that courses in the culture of France, Spain, Latin America, Germany and other countries be given as an alternative to students who do not desire to study foreign languages. If the new request is passed students in the College would be required to take hours in one of the two fields.
The committee did not specify the number of hours required in the new course to fill University rules. Also the request is as yet so general that it wasn't specified whether the student could divide total hours required between the "civilization" courses, and languages.
Honor Kansan Ad Promotion
The promotional advertising of the University Daily Kansan is praised in the current issue of the Editor and Publisher.
T. S. Irvin in an article called, "Big-Time Promotion Begins On Campus," tells about Kansas promotional efforts. He names and describes advertising stunts such as the Bibler cartoon books, the float in the Kansas Relays parade, and the post cards which are sent to Lawrence merchants.
The purpose of the article is to show that promotional advertising for publications can be taught in the class room. There is no organized plan in this country for teaching promotion. This fact has worried publishers for some time.
The William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information has been teaching promotion through practical experience on the University Daily Kansan. This fall, according to John Malone, instructor of journalism and promotional advisor to the Kansan, a new course in promotional advertising will be offered.
"Incidentally," Mr. Malone added, "this article in the Editor and Publisher is a good advertisement for the Kansas. We will probably get letters inquiring about our methods of promotion and we might get some more national advertising as a result of the article."
William Dill, Roger James, James B. Morris, Wister Shreve, and Don Tennant, student promotional workers during the year, and Lee S. Cole, instructor in journalism and business advisor to the Kansas, also contributed to the promotion campaign.

Didn't Do It Faurot Claims On Rule Change
Columbia, Mo., May 26-(UP)—Missouri university athletic director Don Faurot today denied charges that he was responsible for the change in the Big Seven conference eligibility rule.
"By making such accusations, those protesting the eligibility rule certainly are belittling the integrity of the Big Seven faculty representatives by inferring I could control their vote." Mr. Faurot said.
Mr. Faurot answered the charges made by Henry Bubb, president of the Kansas university alumni association, in Toneka.
The exchange of statements was the result of a decision reached by faculty advisors to the conference which limited eligibility to four years beyond the high school level. The conference had formerly counted as only junior college completion as only one year in the conference.
Mr. Faurot would not comment on the interpretation. Missouri President Frederick Middlebush also refused to comment.
The Kansas alumni president had stated "it is regrettable that Big Seven athletes will feel the axe of Don Faurot's animosity over the Lee's Summit incident."
Missouri and Kansas were in a heated argument several years ago when all-around athlete Forrest Griffith allegedly was recruited to attend Kansas University from Lee's Summit, Mo.
Appeal Filed In Ellis Case
The disputed ownership of the Ellis bird library, stored at the Uaiiversity and valued at an estimated $100,000, will be decided by the state supreme court. The appeal was filed Monday by the state of Kansas, representing the University's claim to the library. Irene Ellis, widow of the deceased owner, filed a cross appeal.
The district court had previously decided that the University and the widow each held a half interest in the library that was compiled by Ralph Ellis, an ornithologist. Mr. devotee, Ellis entire life to the study of birds, the collection of specimens, and writing on the subject.
At the time of his death, Mr. Ellis was experiencing financial difficulty and, according to the declarations in the case, gave the library to the University on condition that the school would furnish the necessary housing. The district court held that the agreement between the University and Mr. Ellis was not a will but a contract, and that the widow was entitled to half ownership.

WEATHER
Kansas—Fair east, partly cloudy and a little warmer west today and tonight. Thursday partly cloudy and a little warmer.
Dean Woodruff was commenting on the plan which was discussed in a speech by J. Alden Trovillo, former professor of industrial management, given before the Society for the Advancement of Management May 20.
"The lack of knowledge of the very existence of the plan on the part of the presidents for the present semester shows that there is need of continuity for sororites and fraternities between officers during the semester," Dean Woodruff said.
"As I stated previously, the president of every fraternity on the campus last fall was interviewed concerning the plan. I have, on file in my office, a record of the men who participated in the 19 fraternities then interviewed, 10 were definitely in favor, 3 disapproved, and 6 had no opinion."
He explained that the existence of an advisor would provide continuity between groups of officers, and, in effect, be a force "tending to give coherency through the years." Each new chapter president would then know the details of the preceeding officer's term. The details would carry over from semester to semester.
The plan would be similar to those used by commercial firms. The matter of financial advising would be handled by one man with an office on the campus. He would keep an accurate record on all receipts and expenditures, and give books to show the financial standing of the group at any time.
Since the adviser would be a member of the University staff, minor emergency repairs, odd jobs, and "fixit" service could be provided by the repair staff of the University dormitories.
It is also probable that the adviser would act in other capacities than financial advice. Various problems which might arise during the course of a year would be brought before the advisor by the fraternities and sororites. The adviser could then work at the work station for conjunction with University authorities and thus provide continuity through the year.
"For the first year, the plan will probably be limited to a very few organizations; probably not more or five or six," Dean Woodruff added.
When interviewed, Ray Roberts, local manager of Fraternity Management, Inc., said "In addition to the 14 groups now using our service, we have advised, at various times during the past 19 years, eight other fraternal organizations. We have advised the chapters and their house superintendent of finances. Our financial policies are stilled in all the groups that we now have and in all the groups that we have had. In addition, our policies are necessarily a part of the other groups on the campus."
Dean Woodruff said that the financial adviser plan cannot be put into operation until such time as a competent man can be found. He does not expect the plan to go into operation until sometime next fall, if then.
In a statement issued this morning, Paul Hill, treasurer of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, said certain remarks of his past grand master, Arthur Partridge, had been misunderstood in the poll of the fraternities and soveriors. "The consensus of the house is that we as a fraternity are not in favor of a University financial advisor," he added.
