Quality, Not Quantity Is Essential-Murphy
The quality of performance by the individual student and faculty member, not the size of an expanding physical plant, will be the yardstick for measuring the greatness of the University
of Kansas in its 91st year.
That's the opinion of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, who in his five years as chancellor has supervised one of the biggest building booms in the history of the University.
Performance Is Key
Performance is Key "Although we are dealing with a greater number of students every year and are proud of the new buildings which give the University some of the finest facilities in the nation, the key word is still performance," the Chancellor said.
"The goal of each member of the University family has got to be quality of performance. This means quality of instruction by faculty members, scholarly effort by students, and emphasis on research and independent study."
"One criticism I heard was that the University of Kansas is a snobbish place." he said.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," he emphasized.
"There is no state university in the Middle West that has a greater total of partially or totally self-supporting students or students on scholarships than the University."
"Also the tradition has been here that race, creed, color or economic status have absolutely no influence on the ability of a student to be outstanding," he added. "This tradition will continue."
"I readily admitted the latter but deny the former," the chancellor said.
Another criticism, Dr. Murphy said, was that KU is too difficult or more difficult than other universities.
"We are primarily concerned with the quality of education. The standards are high already and probably will go higher, but never so high that any man or woman with a good mind properly motivated and with a willingness to make a little sacrifice cannot complete their education creditably."
Chancellor Murphy Greets Students
On behalf of the faculty and administration of the University of Kansas I bid the more than 8500 students greeting.
We hope that this, the 91st year in the life of the University of Kansas, will be one of continued progress and achievement. Classrooms, laboratories, libraries, museums, recreational facilities, and, most important of all, a distinguished faculty, all stand waiting to assist you in expanding your intellectual and cultural horizons
As inheritors of the rich K? tradition you have great responsibilities and opportunities. May you not fail to feel the challenge.
Franklin D. Murphy Chancellor.

KU Will Sponsor 5th Parents Day Saturday, Oct. 6
More than 2,000 parents of new University students are expected to attend the fifth annual Parents Day Saturday, Oct. 6.
Parents of new students may purchase tickets to the Colorado-KU football game at a special rate of $2 at registration desks which will be set up on the campus during the week end. The tickets enable the parents to sit with their children in the student section of Memorial Stadium.
Other events which will be on the program will include an informal reception at the Museum of Art in Spooner Hall from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and a University-wide open house from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
At the reception parents may meet Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Murphy; Dr. Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, and Mrs. Woodruff; Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women; and Donald Alderson, dean of men, and Mrs. Alderson.
All schools, departments, and divisions of the University will hold open house, with staff members and advisers present to talk with new students and their parents.
The Student Health Service, the guidance bureau, the museums, the educational and speech clinics, Watson Library, and Allen Field House will be open for inspection.
Most Departments Open
Visiting parents will also get a chance to witness the dedication of Bailey Hall, new headquarters of the School of Education. Dedication ceremonies will be held Oct. 5-8.
Parents of students living in organized houses may have lunch in the houses, or they may attend the special buffet luncheon in the ballroom of the Student Union.
Although the first team produced the longest play of the scrimmage, the second unit figured in most of the scoring. Second team left halfback Bob Hoesing scored twice for the red team, once from the 10 yard line and again from the 20. Hoesing's
Chancellor Murphy will officially welcome the parents to the University in ceremonies just before the football game in Memorial Stadium. The band will present a halftime program honoring the visiting parents.

Hawks Show Air Strength In Full Scale Scrimmage
Dr. Karl Edwards, associate professor of education, is chairman of the Parents Day committee. Gerald Pearson, director of extension classes, is co-chairman.
Longest play of the afternoon was a 28 yard touchdown run by first team fullback Homer Floyd.
The first full dress scrimmage of the 1956 edition of the KU football team, witnessed by several hundred students and fans, was held Saturday afternoon in Memorial stadium and produced a dazzling display of air strength as the red team, composed of the first and second teams, soundly whipped the white team, third and fourth units, 42-6.
Bob Marshall, first string signal caller, and Dave Preston, quarterback on the second team, showed a preview of Kansas' apparent air strength as they hit their receivers for many long gains and several touchdowns.
feat was matched by second string end Bruce Brenner who also tallied twice. Brenner's first score was on a pass from Preston and his second was a recovered fumble in the white team's end zone.
The final touchdown for the red team came in the closing minutes when Bill Horn, second string halfback, gathered in a pass in the end zone from Preston.
The white team's lone counter came in the early minutes of the scrimmage when third string end H. C. Palmer blocked a punt and ran 20 yards to score.
Coach Chuck Mather expressed satisfaction with the workout. He said that the boys showed good improvement after only one week of practice.
The sad note to the successful scrimmage was the injury suffered by DeWitt Lewis, second string guard and a competitor for a starting position. Lewis tore a muscle in the knee of his left leg and will be out of action for several weeks.
Enrollment Opens; Increase Is Seen
Enrollment for the University's 91st year began this morning in the Student Union building. More than 8,500 students are expected to enroll before the regular enrollment period ends Wednesday afternoon.
Parking Policy Changes Listed
Any student who has a car anywhere in Lawrence, for over 24 hours must have a registration sticker on it.
Reason for the registration of all autos is to save students the blow of getting a lump fine of $40 to $50 near the end of the semester.
Students think they get away with illegal parking when they drive someone else's car on the campus. They think this until the traffic department traces the license tag to its source, which can take a couple of months, and then sends the bill. Registration of cars is free.
Parking permits have been changed from metal tags to stickers which will go in the left rear window. Yellow on silver background designates staff. Red on silver is for students.
Permits cost 75c per student per semester. The staff, since they are on campus the year around, pay $1.50 for a yearly permit.
Students are to apply for parking permits at the traffic office on the west side of Robinson immediately after enrolling.
Chief of the traffic department Joe Skillman said all regulations will be enforced beginning Thursday.
Preliminary Procedure
New students are expected to total more than 2,500,the largest influx of students on the campus since 1948 when 2,657 new students enrolled.
Students who have not picked up permits to enroll should go to the west end of the basement of Strong Hall, where they may receive a permit card.
After receiving student number cards, enrollees have their identification pictures taken.
Students should then pick up registration materials and also a motor car registration card.
University officials said students must have registration materials completely filled out before going to the Student Union to enroll.
At the Student Union registration materials should be presented to checkers at table no. 5 in the main lounge. After turning in a copy of the registration form to the dean for the student's school, a transcript card is received. The student then consults with his adviser who must approve his schedule of classes.
Union Procedure
Enrollment cards are then made out. After any necessary approvals have been secured student advisers will then sign enrollment cards.
The student will then proceed to the final check table at which time cards will be checked for errors or enrollment in closed classes.
Students then go to the "pen" above the south side of the ball room. After reaching that area students will secure class cards at tables set up for that purpose.
REAL COOL—Students no longer have to suffer through the heat and blinding glare of flood lights to get their ID pictures taken, thanks to the new electronic flash units now being used by the Photo Bureau to synchronize automatically with the Beattie Portronic camera. Harry Wright, director of the bureau, is shown pressing the button which simultaneously opens the camera shutter, fires the three flash units, closes the shutter, and advances the film to the next frame ready to take another picture in less time than it takes the subject to say "Cheese." With this new equipment, the bureau photographed more than 2300 students the first day and could easily handle about 3000 in a day, Wright believes. Having their pictures taken here are Joan Rollman, Tulsa, Okla., and Ruth Daniels, St. Francis, both freshmen. Daily Kansan Photo.
