G., a bilfold, containing $2 and identification papers, and some loose change from desks.

SAM Hears Sales Talk
Salesmen are selected and trainee carefully for Proctor and Gamble. John Harris, district manager of the company, told members of the Society for Advancement of Management Tuesday.
Speaking on "Sales Management," Mr. Harris said that "colleges and universities are good places to find prospective salesmen. In fact, 25 per cent of the sales department in the Kansas City district are University of Kansas graduates.
James H. Hatch will speak to business students and the Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the recreation room of the Union.
Executives are needed in the sales field and a number of these men have to be in training to keep the company going, Mr. Harris said. Selection of these men is based on intelligence, poise, imagination, parental background, aggressiveness, character and initiative, he added.
Business Students To Hear Speaker
Mr. Hatch, vice-president and production manager of the Union Wire and Rope company, will speak on the subject, "Do Present Labor Controls Balance Management Controls?"
He is also a member of the city planning board of Kansas City, Mo.
"The sales type is the very background of the business," Mr. Harris said. "Many of them refuse to accept responsibility because they like smaller community life which is offered to men out on the road."
Ancient Greeks Have Lesson, Agard Says
"The philosophers of ancient Greece still have much sound advice to give to the world," Walter A. Agard, professor of classics at the University of Wisconsin, declared in the fourth humanities lecture Tuesday in Fraser theater.
"Theories of the Greeks are useful in pointing out man's inborn rights and its blindness to civil rights, and finally destruction," he said.
The Greeks emphasized the building of reason rather than the overcoming of theological sin, Professor Agard said. Reason must be strengthened in this psychological age which has put men's emotions in the forefront, he added.
Reveals Danger
"Can the United States be wealthy and strong without becoming proud, blind, domineering, doomed?" he asked. "Greek history reveals such a danger."
He said that a lack of international cooperation was the chief factor leading to the downfall of free ancient Greek cities.
"The same problem is the most urgent and critical issue facing the United States today." he added, the world can profit from Greek failure to achieve political cooperation among its free states.
Professor Agard believes that downfall of the free states and sub-
"The failure that led to the sequent conquest is the same failure that confronts us if international cooperation cannot be achieved among world powers today," he said.
Professor Agard commented on the language requirement issue at the University.
"No other country in the world feels that a native language is the only one to learn." he said. "In order to understand the peoples of the world, learning their languages is essential."

Mr. Corwin said that on West Campus road, Michigan, Oread, 13th, and Jayhawker drive, parking on the right side of the street will be "strictly enforced."
Most of the 26 traffic and parking violation tickets given Tuesday, the first day of the new authority held by the campus police, were given to students. Mr. Corwin said. Most of the violations occurred in the area west of the campus.
Mr. Corwin said that he is awaiting further clarification of the city ordinance before giving tickets for jaywalking at the intersection of Jayhawker drive and Mississippi street. However he said that he will probably post two men at the corner tomorrow to give tickets.

College Faculty Votes 10-Hour Language Rule
College faculty members Tuesday voted to keep the foreign language requirement at 10 hours.
Would you like to spend seven weeks in New York City as a photographer for the Science Illustrated magazine?
The faculty adopted the proposal of the foreign language committee (majority report) by a vote of 77 to 44, but amended the proposal in two places to read:
"The College foreign language requirement shall consist of an attainment in high school or college equivalent to not less than that of 10 semester hours in one foreign language. Each high school year of language study shall be regarded as the equivalent of a three-hour course. Placement and the evaluation of proper proficiency in the high school units shall be determined by placement tests at the University."
Must Be One Language
The words "or a combination of two foreign languages" were stricken from the first sentence of the proposal. The College language requirement was changed from twelve semester hours to ten.
Students now enrolled in the University will not be affected by the new ruling, but those enrolling in or after the fall of 1948 will be forced to meet the requirements.
Although a student having two years of a foreign language in high school will not receive the full ten hours credit under the new ruling, he can fulfil the requirement by scoring a high grade on the placement tests, said J. Neale Carman, member of the foreign language committee.
Second Semester Required
However, Professor Carman added, most new students who have had two years of college will be required to enroll in a second semester foreign language course even though they pass the placement test
"A student must make an exceedingly good grade on the test and satisfy us that he has the knowledge of at least ten semester hours of a college foreign language before he can satisfy the language requirement."
