Union Parking Fee Reduced 2 New Parking Lots Added
University parking permits will cost $4 this year, a new 440 car lot has been added, and the 50 cent price for parking across from the Kansas Union has been reduced to 25 cents.
The increase in the cost of parking permits is double the $2 price last year.
Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, said the reduction in price for the Union lot was made possible by the construction of the large new lot on the old baseball diamond relieving the parking pressure.
In addition to the 440 car lot, labeled Zone X, another parking lot, Zone O, has been added east of Allen Field House. The increase in the cost of permits is to create more revenue to maintain existing parking lots and to help finance additional parking on the campus.
The increase was approved by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and the Parking and Traffic Committee. It was recommended to the Board of Regents, which made the official change.
Only 2 Cent a Day Raise
"The new rates reflect only a 2 cent a day increase in parking costs," said Mr. Lawton, "and is definitely

not out of line with what other universities charge."
The 1958 Kansas Legislature didn't allow money for new parking lots at state schools, agreeing that new lots must be constructed from revenue from parking permits and existing pay lots.
Pharmacy Has 5-Year Plan
The Association ruled that by 1960 the five-year course would be mandatory. It will mean 20 more hours of liberal arts courses for all pharmacy graduates. The pharmacy curriculum itself will remain the same, but be spread out over a longer time and be incorporated with liberal arts courses.
Under a new program set up by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, all students entering the KU School of Pharmacy beginning this fall will take a five-year course which includes two years of pre-pharmacy work.
This fall's entering freshman pharmacy majors, and those in years to come, will be students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for the first two years before entering the School of Pharmacy.
Previously pharmacy graduates were required to have 130 hours and 130 grade points. Under the new plan 150 hours and 150 grade points will be required for graduation.
Appointed to Aid Loans
Ivin Youngberg, director of the University of Kansas Endowment Assn., has been appointed a consultant by the national Health, Education and Welfare Department in the implementation of loans to students in institutions of higher education.
Zone X. south of Memorial Stadium. can be used free on week days by students and faculty who have permits. It also has 140 car spaces reserved for visitors. Visitors will have to pay 10 cents to enter the parking lot.
After 5:30 p.m. parking permits will not admit students and faculty. A 10 cent admission will have to be paid.
$1 for Football Games
On football Saturdays the parking fee will be $1 a car from 11 a.m. until after the games.
An automatic parking gate is being installed and the 300 students and faculty assigned to this zone will be issued a key card that will work the gate from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Zone X will be ready Monday when free parking on the campus ends.
We join you in hoping that this, the 93rd year of the University, will be one of accelerated progress and achievement, culturally and academically.
On behalf of the faculty and administration of the University of Kansas. I bid our 9,400 students greetings.
Chancellor Murphy Extends Greetings
The classrooms, laboratories, libraries, museums and recreational facilities stand waiting for you to use them. Even more important, a distinguished and capable faculty will assist you in expanding your intellectual horizons.
You are inheriting the rich KU tradition. You are also inheriting great responsibilities and opportunities. Do not fail to feel, and respond to, the challenge.
Franklin D. Murphy Chancellor
Expect 9,400 Enrollment
Slight Increase Over Last Year Forecast
Today will be the start of the 93rd fall enrollment period in KU history with about 9,400 students expected to enroll during the three day period.
The expected enrollment this semester would be an increase of less than two hundred from spring semester.
Very few changes have been made from last year's enrollment procedure, except for discontinuing the early enrollment practice, which was questioned last winter when over a hundred students were implicated in using forged early enrollment permits.
Mr. Hitt explained the slight increase is due to small high school graduating classes. The brunt of the war baby boom will not arrive at KU for another two years, he added.
This year's enrollment will not make any tremendous jumps over last year's enrollment, according to James K. Hitt, registrar.
"We refuse very few," he said, "and those that we refuse we feel would not be able to make it through."
While other schools in the country have been tightening up on out of state students, Mr. Hitt said this is not true at KU.
There has been a slight tightening up on students transferring with under a C average from other colleges, but they are only a few limited cases, Mr. Hitt said.
Instead of early enrollment permits this year, students who have jobs or are in sports will have work cards permitting them to have their classes scheduled around their work if at all possible.
Early Enrollment Discontinued
Mr. Hitt said all students would now enroll according to the letter schedule, with the discontinuance of early enrollment permits.
These work cards, Mr. Hitt said, will allow students who work in the afternoon, for example, to schedule morning classes only.
However, to offset this new policy the University now requires that all students take a "substantial portion of their courses in the afternoon or on Saturday morning."
In this manner students who enroll on the first day will probably get no better schedule than those who enroll on the last day, Mr. Hitt said.
Those who enroll on the first day will have first chance at the limited courses, but this has always been a policy of the University, Mr. Hitt said.
The letter schedule is rotated every semester to allow everyone an opportunity to enroll eventually the first day.
Another change is that a few classes will have the day and time assigned in the "Pen" instead of at the adviser's table.
This will enable the adviser more time to select courses rather than the proper times. Mr. Hitt said,
Pick Up Materials Early Early pickup of enrollment and registration materials is again the practice. Students have been picking up the materials since Tuesday.

After filling out registration papers students go to the Kansas Union to finish enrollment. Enrollment hours at the Union are 8:30 to noon and 1:30 to 5 p.m.
Students will not be admitted to begin enrollment after 11 a.m. or 4 p.m. No student may enroll ahead of his schedule.
At the Union students will show their completed registration form and permit to the checker at table 5 in the main lounge. After consulting with an adviser and arriving at a list of courses the students will make out an enrollment card which must be approved by the adviser and other checkers.
After getting a class card for each class in the "Pen," all the enrollment and registration forms will be deposited before the student leaves the Union.
$8 Million to Be Spent On Building At KU
More than $8 million will be spent on the construction of buildings and dormitories at KU in the immediate future.
The new School of Business building, east of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, was started last winter and is scheduled for completion by the fall of 1959 at a cost of $1,200,000.
The 120-apartment Stouffer Place will have 120 more apartments added to the units and should be completed by next semester at a cost of $1 million.
Work on the Lewis and Templin dormitories on the Daisy Field west of Allen Field House was started this summer. One is to be completed by September 1959 and the other by February 1960. They will house 432 students each and will cost a total of $3 million.
The Joseph R. Pearson dormitory on West Campus Road next to Carruth-O'Leary is to be completed in February 1959 at a cost of $11/2 million. It will accommodate 416 students.
A $1 million addition to the Kansas Union building is also planned. Another big project will be a mammalian genetics addition to Snow Hall.
