UP IT GOES—Work is progressing rapidly on the new School of Business Building. The structure, which will house an entirely new business program, is scheduled for completion in time for classes next fall.
55 Juniors Try Out New Business Plan
A pilot group of 55 juniors has enrolled in a revised program for a Bachelor of Science degree in the School of Business.
Though this program will not become effective for the entire School of Business until September 1959, this pilot group, a volunteer group of junior students, is breaking the way for the rest of the school, said James Surface, dean of the School of Business.
Plans under the revised program call for assigning all entering students to the School of Business into class sections of 50 to 60 students. This is the primary reason that the revised program cannot go into effect until 1959 when the school anticipates moving into the new business building now under construction. Present facilities are inadequate to accommodate such large groups.
Dean Surface said two important advantages of the larger groups are that: (1) since many business courses involve classroom discussion, the groups will gain valuable experience working as a unit through the entire series of courses; (2) the instructors of each section will meet regularly and thereby be able to integrate more closely the work being assigned students.
Special Service Sections
"The revised program is designed for students who aspire to reach positions of managerial responsibility either of a general or technical nature." Dean Surface said.
Special Service Sections Students in other schools at the University of business courses will no longer be mixed with regular business students. Special service sections will be provided for these students.
"The new program will prepare students for such a role by helping them acquire: (1) knowledge about such things as our contemporary society, economic theory, and the practice of business and (2) skill in applying this knowledge in making decisions about actual business problems.
The courses required of the prebusiness student remain basically unchanged. He must still have basic courses for admission to the School of Business as well as meet the requirements of the College.
Some changes have been made in course content for the senior year. A new course, Legal Aspects of Business, will replace the six hours
Pre-Business Unchanged
of law, Business Law I and II, now required of business students,
The courses, Price and Income, Labor Economics, Public Finance, and Money and Banking, will no longer be required. A new course, Economic Analysis, will be added to give the business student a more practical insight into economics as it applies to every day business management problems than do the immediate courses.
A four-hour course, Problems in General Management, has been added to give the senior student an opportunity to apply his knowledge in solving business problems.
The senior student will also be required to complete a full year course, 6 hours, in at least two of the following business fields: accounting, finance, insurance, marketing, personnel, production, small business, and statistics.
All registration stickers must be on students' cars now. Traffic tickets will be given to those cars which do not have a registration sticker.
"All new students on the campus should know the campus parking and driving rules," said Chief Joe Skillman of the campus police. Cars can be parked on the campus for only 30 minutes, unless the driver has a zone permit. Students who wish zone permits should apply now at the traffic office.
Deadline for Car Stickers
Again this year, the first traffic ticket is just a warning. The second is $2; third, $4; fourth, $8, and all others are $16.
"All students who wish to appeal traffic tickets should do it within ten days after the arrest," said Chief Skillman. The state law saves that an appeal cannot be made after ten days. The appeals are handled by student courts.
Students dissatisfied with their schedules should make changes this week.
Make Class Changes Now
Changes should be requested only in exceptional circumstances and should be made directly with deans of students' respective schools, said James K. Hitt, registrar.
Courses dropped by Oct. 11 are cancelled from the student's enrollment and do not appear on his permanent record. After that date, a grade of "W" for withdrawal or "F" for failure will be shown, depending on the quality of the student's work.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences probably processes more enrollment changes than other schools, because of its greater enrollment
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, said changes were being made "rather freely this
week if changes are approved by the students' advisers." Next week students must submit written petitions for changes and must have exceptionally good reasons for wishing to make changes.
No students may add new classes after Sept. 20, Dean Ulmer said. Classes may be dropped at any time during the semester in cases of long illnesses or outside hardships.
College students should remember the 14-hour minimum load for liberal arts students. Only exceptions named above will be allowed to reduce their enrollment below this requirement.
The College office has set up its enrollment change headquarters in the lobby of Strong Hall this week. Students should report there for detailed information on making changes.
Students enrolled in other schools will follow similar enrollment policies.

Sabrejets Down MIGs In Battles NearQuemoy
The "white shirt" seating plan has been approved for Saturday's game with TCU.
TAIPEI, Formosa—(UPI)—Nationalist Sabrejets shot down five Soviet-built MIG-17 jets and probably damaged another in two air battles near the Quemoy Islands, the Nationalist Air Force announced tonight.
"At 3 p.m. (midnight CST) patrolling Sabres saw four Communist
The latest aerial and sea battles took place after two Nationalist LST'S landed their supplies at Big Quemov under a rain of Red shells.
The convoy by the Quemoys by Nationalist and U.S. Navy surface craft, Nationalist and U.S. iet planes flew cover.
The communique said that the American-made Sabrejets also sank three Communist PT boats and damaged a fourth while flying cover for a convoy that again carried supplies to Big Ouémov.
The Air Force said its planes suffered no losses. All were flown by Nationalist Chinese airmen.
The best seats in the student section will be open only to those wearing white shirts or blouses. The restricted section is from approximately the north 23-yard line to the south 45-yard line, rows one to 23 inclusive.
Torpedo boats bearing down on the slow-moving convoy.
"The Sabres attacked the small Red attack flotilla with bombs and machine gun fire.
"Three tropedo boats exploded and sank while the fourth limped away damaged.
"Shortly before dusk, between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (1 a.m. and 2 a.m. CST), while the convoy still was lumbering toward Formosa, more than 30 MIG-17s attacked eight sabres in two waves.
"A series of high altitude aerial duels followed."
The Air Force said gun films proved five MIGs were destroyed and one probably destroyed. It said those shot down burst into flames and crashed into the sea.
Today's announcement brought to 17 the number of MIGs the Nationalist Air Force claims its planes have shot down since the Reds started moving into new coastal airfields in July.
Chiang Kai-Shek's airmen have admitted losing only two Thunderjets and one Sabrejet in the battles.
Presidents of the organized houses, A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, director of athletics, and Russell L. Wiley, professor of band, gave their approval to the plan, said William Fricke, Jefferson City, Mo., senior and chairman of the Student Athletic Seating Board.
Mimeographed outlines of the seating arrangements will be distributed on the campus tomorrow so all students will know of the new plan and where to sit.
Fricke said the plan, which will be in effect only so long as warm weather continues, will require students to wear white shirts and blouses if they wish to sit in the front of sections 38, 39, 40 and 41. This is approximately from the north 23-yard line to the south 45-yard line. The restricted section includes rows 1 through 23.
Seats from rows 24 to 42 inclusive will be open to all students, as well as all seats from the goal line to approximately the 23-yard ine.
Fricke said that the students who sit in the white shirt section will benefit by getting a chance at front row seats. Last year, the band and pep clubs took up the first four rows.
The Red Peppers will form a red K on the north side of the white shirt section, and the band will form a black U on the south side. The K-Club retains its regular reserved section, which is within the restricted area.
Weather
Students who sit around the Red Peppers will be asked to help with card holding operations.
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Winds shifted to a southerly flow today, promising slightly warmer temperatures under fair skies in Kansas today and tonight.
Brisk morning conditions sent the mercury down in the 50s in most areas of the state, to a low of 47 at Goodland today.
Temperatures yesterday ranged from a mild 78 at Hill City to 71 at Olathe.
Another cold front moved toward Kansas from the northwest. Increased cloudiness and some showers were expected in the Sunflower state by Friday in the west.
