Students and faculty members who have applied for and received zone parking permits also should attach these to the rear window as soon as they receive them. Persons who have received zone permits may pick them up anytime during the day at the traffic office in Robinson Gymnasium.
Police cautioned persons with permits to park only in the zone corresponding to the letter on the sticker. Persons who do not have zone permits may not park in zones. The stickers should be placed in the lower left side of the rear window.

Cooler Weather Slated For State
TOPEKA—(UP) — Kansas probably won't believe it until it gets here, but cooler weather is in the offing today and Friday the weather bureau reported today.
A cool front is moving into the state from the Dakotas and Wyoming, according to the reporting service.

Dr. Schwegler's Condition Improves
The condition of Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, Jr., associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University Medical School in Kansas City, has continued to improve, the Medical Arts Center reported today. Dr. Schwegler, who is a widely-known obstetrician, was operated on Saturday for removal of his spleen.
Following his operation, Dr. Schwegler's blood failed to clot properly and an appeal to University students and faculty and Lawrence residents was made for blood donors having type B negative blood. Nine persons responded with the rare type of blood. At the present time there is no need for further donors.
The enrollment was slowed on Monday because many more students enrolled than were on the alphabetical list. This was a result of the many early enrollment permits given to students, Mr. Hitt said.
Attention Presidents
The presidents of all organizations except organized houses are asked to report to the dean of students' office, 128 Strong Hall, to see if their names, addresses and telephone numbers are correctly listed for the new student directory.
A total University enrollment of between 8500 and 8700 students is predicted by Registrar James K. Hitt, although the final count has not been completed.
Enrollment Increase Seen; Figures Still Incomplete
Mr. Hitt said that the enrollment procedure has gone very smoothly this year because everyone has understood the system better. Last year's problems were the results of misunderstanding the procedure, not the failure of the IBM machines.
Students who enroll late will be
At this time there are between 500 and 750 more students than there were last year at the end of the regular enrollment period, when the total was 7788. Also to be included in the final count will be an expected 250 to 300 late enrolling students.
The procedure of changing courses now that enrollment has been completed is different in each school of the University.
Payment of fees will begin Monday, Sept. 24 and continue through Thursday, Sept. 27 according to an alphabetical schedule. All fees are paid at the Business Office, 121 Strong Hall. Identification cards will be issued at that time.
In the College and in the School of Engineering students are not allowed to change courses today or Friday. On Saturday they may go to the Student Union from 9 to 11 a.m. and go through a procedure similar to regular enrollment in order to change courses.
In other schools the changing of courses is done through the deans offices.
charged $5 in addition to the regular fees of the University.
A penalty of $2 per day for late payment of fees goes into effect Friday, Sept. 28. The enrollment of students who do not pay fees by Monday, Oct. 1 will be cancelled.
Murphy Stresses Goal Of Education
A university is failing its students if it provides them only with the technical skills needed to make a livlihood in a competitive world, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told about 2,700 students and faculty members at 91st annual opening convocation in Hoch Auditorium this morning.
"The fact that a man has received a degree from an institution of higher learning does not mean that he is educated," Dr. Murphy emphasized.
Responsibility Necessary
To bear the title of an educated man a person must have a sense of personal responsibility in association with his neighbors, have an understanding of cultural values, and lastly a meaningful philosophy of life. Dr. Murphy pointed out.
A basic need of a truly educated man is competency in English, both written and spoken, he added.
"A person may turn in a learned and factually correct chemistry paper," he said, but if it is not written in such a manner that shows that the student knows good English it cannot be a satisfactory paper, Dr. Murphy said. "Every member of the faculty has the obligation to require good English of students regardless of the subject."
Honor For Stouffer
Reviewing recent and planned expansion of the physical plant, Dr. Murphy made the announcement that a million-dollar married students housing project which will soon be under construction will be
First Jayhawker Due In November
The first section of the 1956-57 Jayhawker will be ready for issue Nov. 12, Connie Cloyes, El Dorado senior and editor of the yearbook, said today.
Getting an early start last spring on the four-section annual, the staff already has the first edition cover at the printers, and has spent the past three weeks covering Rush Week, orientation, and enrollment
The Jayhawk is on sale today and Friday at the entrance to the Hawks Nest in the Student Union. The $6 cost includes all four issues and cover. This year's cover was designed by Brant Kington, Topeka senior.
Anyone interested in working for the Jayhawker may contact Miss Cloyes at the Jayhawker office in the Student Union. All photographs,-cruise pictures, party pictures and candid photos-submitted at the office will be considered for publication.
A unique aspect of the new Jayawaker will be advertising features. Fashion articles by Lawrence clothing stories will be run in feature story style.
The Jayhawker staff hopes to maintain its production schedule by better organization and holding regular staff meetings, Miss Cloyes said.
The second edition is scheduled for issue on Dec. 13.
Watson Library Schedule Given
The fall schedule for Watson Library is as follows:
Monday-Friday 7:45 a.m.-10 p.m.
Saturday 8 a.m.- 5 p.m.
Sunday 2 p. -10 p.m.

named Stouffer Place in honor of Dr. Ellis B. Stouffer, emeritus professor of mathematics.
The apartments, to be at the intersection of 19th and Iowa streets, will include ten buildings with eight 1-bedroom and four 2-bedroom units. Dr. Murphy said also that he will ask the Board of Regents for permission to seek federal loans for an additional 120 married students apartments and for a men's dormitory which would eventually house 1,000 men.
Dean Stouffer served KU 41 years before retiring in 1955. He was dean of the Graduate School from 1922 to 1946 and was dean of the University from 1946 to 1950. He then served three years as chairman of the University planning committee at the request of Dr. Murphy.
Frowns On Vandalism
Discussing University requirements of students, Dr. Murphy said the University would not tolerate any form of "juvenile delinquency disguised as good fun."
"There is no reason why any student cannot have an enjoyable time while attending the University, and at the same time conduct himself as an adult," he said.
Commenting on recent problems of inter-racial school integration in some parts of the country, Dr. Murphy said KU can be proud of the fact that any student regardless of race, creed or color is accepted on his own merits at KU.
Lauds Opportunities
Dr. Murphy urged students to avail themselves of the cultural opportunities afforded by the University to supplement knowledge they gain from text books.
Dr. Murphy said the remodeled Bailey Hall is now in full use and the $2,400,000 music and dramatic arts building would be ready in another year.
"The Board of Regents and Legislature will be asked for funds from the state educational building fund to remodel completely Blake Hall as a new home for University Extension; to construct a School of Business building, for which plans are nearly made; to add a wing to Snow Hall, and to initiate planning for a major building for the School of Engineering and Architecture," he said.
In student housing this year KU has the full use of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall for 440 women, ground will be broken within a month for a 120-unit married students apartment project, and in the fall work should start on the Joseph J. Pearson Hall for 430 men. The latter will be on West Campus Road, north of Carruth Hall.
The chancellor pointed to new academic programs in nuclear geology, a graduate program in public administration at the state government level, KU's membership in the Midwestern Universities Research Association, and the relaxation of requirements so that gifted students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may accelerate their programs.
As one of the 15 members of MURA," Dr. Murphy said, "KU and her scientists will have a part in building and operating what will be the free world's largest accelerator for high energy and nuclear research."
The Atomic Energy Commission will finance the project at a site yet to be determined. The cost will probably exceed 10 million dollars. The two machines of the accelerator will accelerate particles of matter at up to 15 billion volts.
