Courses, Policy Face Revision In College Plan
With the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences almost filling Frank Strong auditorium for their first fall meeting Tuesday, Dr Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, discussed six problems which will be studied by faculty committees this year:
One. A possible general course in the physical sciences.
Two. A revision of the foreign language requirement, to be made before next semester.
Three. Revision and modification of College rules and regulations.
Four. Judy of the rules regarding suspension from the College for poor scholarship.
Five. Course revisions to be made for College maiors in art and music.
Dean Lawson announced that the College budget for the nine months of this year, covering only salaries and regular maintenance, is $1,200,- 000.
With 9,476 students enrolled in the University, 46 per cent are enrolled in the College, Dean Lawson said. This is a drop of 6 per cent in the percentage which the College used to have before the war.
Salary Budget Is $1,200,600
Six. Changes in policy procedure on the establishment of new courses and course changes.
He explained that there are 23 separate departments in the College with 41 separate four-year areas of concentration. There are now 125 faculty members of professorial rank, 75 full time instructors, and more than 200 part-time instructors teaching in the College, he added.
"Parking stalls have been reserved in several cases and it is requested that all other cars stay out of these places," said Robert A. Corwin, campus patrolman.
Many parking changes have been made on the campus.
Traffic officers are asking for everyone's co-operation, and all holders of zone 3, 9, and 10 permits will use zone "A" until expiration date, which is Sept. 30.
"Parking zones are restricted to permits for that zone only," said Mr. Corwin. "All others should use the 20 minute zones."

Prof. C. B. Realey said that eight lectures by nationally-known speakers as part of the new humanities program will be given this year. Opening this series on Oct. 7, in Fraser theater will be Dr. T. V. Smith of the University of Chicago, who will speak on "The Humanities in Modern Life."

COREToTry For Recognition
The Congress on Racial Equality decided last night to continue its attempt to secure official University recognition.
A report on the open letter sent to Chancellor Deane W. Malott Monday protesting the University's recent action in refusing to give C.O.R.E., official recognition as a student organization was made by Frank Stannard, College junior. No reply has been received, Stannard said.
A committee of C.O.R.E. members will seek an early meeting with Chancellor Malott to discuss the matter. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy will support C.O.R.E, efforts to gain recognition.
The C.O.R.E. proposal to open the Patee theater as an inter-racial theater for a trial period of six months to determine patronage response is being considered by Stanley Schwain, Patee owner, Beth Bell, C.O.R.E. chairman reported. No further action will be taken on the racial segregation in Lawrence theaters until a decision is announced by Mr. Schwain.
An executive committee and a new chairman to direct C.O.R.E. activities for the fall semester will be elected at the next meeting.

All but about 120 forms and certificates for veterans attending K. U. will be delivered to the Kansas City branch of the Veterans' administration by tomorrow noon, E. R. Elbel, director of the Veterans' bureau, said today.

transferring here from other districts. Elibel said he had been making daily deliveries to Kansas City. The registration section there has been processing the forms almost as rapidly as they are received.
Elbel said he didn't know if the Kansas City finance office would be able to mail the first subsistence checks any earlier than Nov. 1.
The speed with which the local bureau has processed the Form 1909's and certificates beats last year's record by several weeks. The work involved checking the veteran's school and class hours against individual class cards.
"We're just happy we've been able to process 98 per cent of the veterans here so soon," he added.
Theater Gets 'New Look'
First nighters attending Fraser theater this year will not have to worry about falling plaster. Actors will not have to compete with the squeaks and creaks of the revolving stage.
Both have been eliminated with the redecoration of the theater. The auditorium has been painted a light blue by painters from the University paint shop. Old scenery and property has been removed and will be replaced with new equipment. All old wiring was replaced or repaired.
Starting with a $1,000 budget, Ivan Sparkling, instructor in the speech department, Tom Shay, College Junior, and Dan Palmquist, education senior, began the work at the end of the summer session.

The council hopes to arrange the exposition to coincide with the Kansas relays in order to attract more high school students to the event. The Engineering banquet, last held in 1942, may also be revived, if expanded enrollments will permit. T. Dewitt Carr, new dean of en-
