No Pay Increase For KU Employes
Many skilled and unskilled workers employed by the University will not receive scheduled wage increases from now until Jan. 1, due to a ruling made this summer by the state finance council.
Authorities from both KU and Kansas State protested vigorously before the finance council ruling when the Civil Service Commission announced that skilled and unskilled workers at the schools would be paid the regular civil service pay starting July 1.
This group of workers includes a wide variety of positions connected with the operation and maintenance of the physical plant.
"Under the regular civil service classifications, most of the skilled and unskilled tradesmen at KU would take salary cuts," said Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations.
Because of the protests to the planned action the state finance council extended the provision until January 1959, before acting on it
The council includes Gov. George Docking, Lt. Gov. Joseph W. Henkie Sr. and four members of the Legislature.
Alumni Magazine Given Honors
The KU Alumni Assn. was honored as publisher of one of the nation's best alumni magazines during the 43rd General Conference of the American Alumni Council this summer.
Among institutions with more than 30,000 alumni, the KU Alumni Magazine received one of four honorable mentions for its class for its class news sections and the only honorable mention given for featured articles.
In the "special recognition awards" section the KU Alumni Magazine was cited for its "A Day in the Life of . . ." series, and for having the second best single piece of direct mail dues and membership promotion.
Education School Adds New Major
The School of Education has approved two new majors in history or political science, and also has approved of foreign languages as an area of emphasis.
The language major will require complete course work equivalent to 27 credit hours in the language.
In the social studies area students are required to have a minimum of 48 credit hours of social studies courses with a minimum of 24 credit hours in history or political science.
The vast area of Texas would accommodate nearly 250 Rhode Islands.

Under the prevailing rate provisions KU and Kansas State College are allowed to hire workers at salaries near the rates being paid for other workers in Manhattan and Lawrence.
If workers other than KU employees were hired at the regular civil service rates, it would be almost impossible to get competent help and keep them on the payroll, said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University.
In Lawrence and Manhattan there is competition for workers because of the number of new construction projects and industries in the two cities.
