Class Alterations Cease Tomorrow
Nearly 2,300 students have made enrollment changes this semester, but the flood of students will stop after tomorrow—the last day students may cancel classes.
Why do so many students change their minds?
The 2,300 students added and dropped the first two weeks of school a total of 5,882 classes. Last week nearly 2,000 more classes were changed or added.
After tomorrow grades of "W" for withdrawal or "F" for failure will be recorded on the student's transcripts for dropped courses.
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said "too heavy loads" is the main reason College students want to drop classes.
are lagging behind because of illness, or find a course is not what they expected, Dean Ulmer said. Personality clashes with instructors and changes in majors account for other revisions.
Others find courses too difficult,
"Too many students are finding normal loads of 15 or 16 hours too much," he said.
"Unless the students has excessive outside responsibility we feel it is better he force himself to manage his time better." he asserted.
More than 1,000 courses were added or dropped by College students the first week of school, he said.
Changes are being made for fewer students now. More than half of the requests for changes have been turned down during the last two weeks. Dean Ulmer said.
Daily hansan
Only in cases of prolonged ill-nesses and heavy outside work loads are students allowed to carry less than 14 hours.

West Sunnyside Dwellers Must Vacate by June 30
Closing of the units will affect 84 families who are presently living in the buildings, said J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
Sunnyside residents were told yesterday that the housing office plans to vacate the 14 buildings in the west end of the project by June 30, 1959.
The buildings affected are numbered 10 through 23. Official notice of the dispossession will come
sometime in November, together with applications for apartments in the remaining Sunnyside buildings.
Long Use for Remaining Units
At present there are no plans for any building to be built in place of the outgoing units. Wilson said eventually there will probably be new classrooms at the location, but it would be several years before any of these plans take form.
Football Memories
This Saturday We Miss It
Wilson said this morning that University officials had surveyed the buildings and found the 14 units could no longer be maintained properly. He said the nine buildings that would remain could be used for several years.
It is a sunny Saturday—a good day for football. Outside Memorial Stadium a middle-aged couple stand before the tearer of stubs, just after finishing their lunch they brought in a sack.
People in line behind them shift nervously as the man searches his pockets for the stubs. The woman opens her purse, looks up at her husband and says, "I think I remember putting the stubs in the lunch sack we just threw away."
The maze of cement seats fills with a forest of faces. The bright red splotch of pep club sweaters makes an uneven clump more brilliant than the spectrum of turning trees on top of the hill.
A man in a yellow sweater is next in the ticket line. He taps his feet to the beat of band music and asks, "How long till game time?"
The white shirt section stands out in dazzling contrast like the few fleecy clouds above the trees. Scattered patterns of green, gold, brown and orange dot the sloping U-shaped arena like heaps of fallen leaves.
The closing of the 84 apartments was not expected to affect the rental market in Lawrence. Wilson said
On the field the straight row of numbers on a bench begin to squirm. Some of the players take off their shiny helmets and prance around patting their heavy pads.
As for something to take the place of Sunnyside, Wilson said there was no way the University could replace the buildings to be torn down and still rent to the students for $55 a month.
In section 10 a little boy in a brown cap trudges up the ramp, sticks his head through the chute and stops short. The sudden panorama of endless faces, strange noises and steep steps brings tears to his eyes. He clutches his toy football drops his bag of playthings and backs out screaming.
An usher who helps the boy, says, "It's fun to help people have a good time and I get a chance to catch a glimpse or two of the game, but I'm afraid I can't take the job anymore. Those yellow flowers that women wear make me sneeze."
A voice booms over the loud speaker that $3,432 has been found in the stadium. It is play money, the voice says. It was in a little lost boy's bag of playthings.
A man smoking a cigar squints in concentration at the playing field. Then he raises his left shoulder, nudges a thin little man next to him and confides that hula hoops are being used some places in training sessions.
Two rows behind them a lady licks the mustard from her fingers, shields her eyes with a program and tells her husband to get a roast for Sunday dinner; he does not hear her.
Nothing to Replace Sunnyside

He expected some question about the condition of the buildings, since some to be torn down are in better condition than other units that will remain standing.

However, he said, the most economical plan is to tear the buildings down as a group instead of destroying the buildings individually.
Due to the tie-in of utilities and other related problems, Wilson said it would not be feasible to "thin out" the bad units from the good but rather take out a whole section that seems to be in the worst condition over-all.
Frost or freeze warnings east tonight—generally fair through tomorrow. Cooler in east tonight with frost or freezing temperatures east by tomorrow morning. Warmer tomorrow. Low tonight 30 to 35. High tomorrow 65 to 75.

a Market in Lawrence, Wilson said.
The All Student Council Housing Committee recently received complaints from five Sunnyside residents about maintenance and rent. Sue Chapman, Lawrence senior and chairman of the committee, said the committee plans a complete investigation of complaints to determine what action can be taken.
Schedule for Inspection
The circular also announced a new schedule for inspecting fire extinguishers. Previously, extinguishers were checked twice a year. They have been inspected once this fall and will be rechecked each month through the semester.
The circular states that the extra precautions are being taken because of the recent interest shown in the fire extinguishers located in Sunnyside.
Originally 13 Dwellings
Originally 13 Dwellings The Sunnyside project originally contained 13 buildings. Eight units were razed in 1957 to make room for Summerfield Hall, the new business building under construction.
Buildings one through nine, east of Illinois St., will be the only units left after the 14 buildings in the west end of the project are razed.
The 2-story frame barracks-type buildings were moved to KU from Camp Barkley, Tex., in the summer of 1946.
Priest Says Pope To Be Russian-Born
A visiting Italian priest and high school director predicted today that the successor to Pope Pius XII will be Russian-born Cardinal Gregory Agagianian.
Father Anton Skutarich, director of Zosca State Commercial High School, near Bologna, said today he believes Cardinal Agagianian will be chosen because of the growing feeling in the Catholic Church for the need of an international Pope in the Catholic Church.
Father Skutarich is studying at KU as a part of the International Teacher Development Program under the auspices of the U. S. Office of Education.
If Cardinal Agagianian becomes Pope, a long tradition of Italian Popes will be broken. There has not been a non-Italian Pope since the 14th century. Father Skutarich said
Father Skutarich also predicted a revolution in Russia within two years.
"Every time a Pope has died, there has been a great change in world history within a year," he said.
The scientists and military leaders of Russia felt the challenge of United States competition in scientific and military leadership of the world, he said.
And these leaders see they cannot overcome this challenge under a communist government, Father Skutarich added.
"When a country rids itself of ignorance, communism is soon thrown out," he said.
"These leaders want to be first in world prestige" he said, "and under communism they cannot be. The leaders will overthrow their government to gain their ends."
ASC Plans Retreat At Lone Star Sunday
Discussion groups and talks by University and student body officials will highlight the annual All Student Council retreat beginning at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Lone Star Lake Y-Camp.
John Husar, Chicago senior, retreat committee chairman said ASC members will have a chance to get acquainted and learn through discussion.
A religious invocation by Carol Plumb, Overland Park senior, will begin the retreat. Francis Heller, associate dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, will give a talk relating state and national politics. A coffee period will follow.
John Downing, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and student body president, will report on his visits to the National student body presidents' conference and the national students' association conference last summer at Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. Downing also will suggest work to be done by the ASC this semester.
Following Downing's report, Husar will appoint leaders for three discussion groups.
