This Class Battles 24 Different Profs
Have you ever enrolled in a course that had 24 instructors?
Such a course is Economics 99, Financial Institutions. At 2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, 55 students listen to men who occupy important positions in the financial community of Kansas tell of problems peculiar to their specific business and how they solve them.
The purpose of the course is to fa- familiarize the student with the problems of business administration and the specialized services provided by some of the important non-governmental financial institutions.
Problems Emphasized
Emphasis is placed on actual problems and methods of administration in addition to a study of the structural characteristics of these institutions.
Asked how instructors are chosen, Prof. Pritchard said, "I deal through several sponsoring associations, specifically an education commission or special group. I work with the people in the organization that are responsible for educational work."
Prof. Leland J. Pritchard, chairman of the department of economics, was aided by Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the KU Endowment Association, in creating and launching this course.
Instructor's Contribute Time "Most of the men consider it a privilege and honor to participate in the program," he said. "They contribute time and talent absolutely gratis. Sometimes their expenses are paid by their organizations or associations, but often they offer their talents at considerable personal cost to themselves."
"Most of our students are in business administration and are future leaders of these institutions. Part of our training is to take them behind the scenes. But the course is useful to those who will one day be either borrowers or savers, or both."
"The class arose from the need for a course that supplied more instruction in the internal and administrative levels of financial organizations.
Vulnerable Contacts Made "It might enable the students to choose their vocation and will help them in making valuable contacts. In many cases contact with these institutions has led to summer, and then permanent employment," he said.

Campus Leader Training Council Formally Set Up
A Student Leadership Training Council was formally established by the All Student Council Wednesday.
The council representatives will be selected at the beginning of each fall term from fifteen campus organizations.
The training council, which has been unofficially in operation for over a year, is designed to promote training of future student organizations leaders and to acquaint present leaders with their responsibilities. The council will sponsor a workshop, tentatively set for March, for this purpose.
A proposed amendment limiting the number of meetings members might miss before being dropped from the council was sent back to the charter committee for reconsideration.
A proposal to issue activity tickets to student wives will be discussed at the next meeting. Feb. 19.
The council voted to be host to the Kansas-Missouri regional National Student Assn. conference to be held in April. The conference is concerned with student government training.
Two More Feature Wilt
Ebony's article stressed Chamberlain's daily routine on the KU campus and pointed out how good-natured the "Stilt" is, both on and off the basketball court.
Ebony and Look are the latest magazines to print picture-stories of Wilt Chamberlain. The March 1957 edition of Ebony and the Feb. 19, 1957 edition of Look have been added to the already long list of publications which have featured articles on the KU's cage star.
Look devoted its space entirely to Wilt's basketball ability. The pictures are action shots, pointing out Wilt's ability on the court. A 3-sequence shot gives an idea of how he makes the dunk shot by going under the basket and laying the ball back over his head.
Quality Of Schools Must Be Upheld
A higher education is a necessity in an ever growing competitive field of skilled people, he said.
"We cannot compromise the quality of our schools," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told the State Chamber of Commerce in Topeka Tuesday.
Kansas cannot afford to make second class economic citizens of its University teachers or the best talent will be diverted away from the University, he added.
Our Show People Work Quickly!
It happened the other night while the "Of Thee 1 Sing" cast was having pictures taken after its performance.
Don Farrar, Kansas City, Mo. junior and Jan Chelf, St. Joseph, Mo. freshman, slipped off the stage into the wings between shots. A few moments later they reappeared, a changed couple.
It seems that in that short period of time Don proposed, was accepted, and slipped Jan an engagement ring.
