Schedule Change In Graduate Work
All graduate work in engineering mechanics at the University of Kansas will be offered after 3 p.m. this fall.
Kenneth C. Deemer, chairman of the department announced the experimental program. The new program will attempt to satisfy growing demands for engineering education past the bachelor's degree.
Engineering mechanics is basic to all branches of engineering. Although it does not offer an undergraduate major, it has a sizable graduate enrollment. Dr. Deemer expects to have at least 20 students in his department this fall working toward master of science degrees.
He expressed hope that the new schedule, which will be arranged by appointment for maximum flexibility, will make it possible for working engineers from Topeka, Kansas City, and other areas within commuting distance to continue their graduate education toward the M.S. degree while continuing their employment.

Regents Seek More Dorms for Universities
The Board of Regents Friday adopted a proposal to borrow $10 million for construction of state higher education dormitories. It must be approved by the 1961 legislature.
The money is to be borrowed from the state's $90 million inactive funds. The fund is currently drawing eight-tenths of one per cent interest in state banks.
The proposed loan would allow construction of 4,200 dormitory rooms. The loan would be repaid at two per cent interest from student rentals of the rooms.
This is the new federal building program for schools whereby the state puts up a minimum of 40 per cent of the costs and the government matches it.
The proposal was made by Claude C. Bradney, Regent from Columbus, who considers this means better than applying for federal aid through the Matching Fund program.
However, buildings (dormitories) must be built according to Federal Housing Administration specifications. These are more elaborate than standard facilities.
"We can build one-third more rooms with money from the inactive fund than from the federal fund," Mr. Bradney said. "And the rooms would be just as nice."

The Lawrence League for Practice of Democracy will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the basement of the Community Building downtown.

The topic of discussion will be: "Discrimination in Employment in Kansas." A question and answer period will follow.
All interested persons are invited to attend.
