To Resurface Poplar, Zone H
A contract is being awarded immediately for resurfacing and correcting the drainage on Poplar Lane which will include zone H parking lot.

Zone H will be unavailable during the construction period which will probably include most of August.
Parking Zones To Be Free Monday To Fall
Beginning Monday all University parking zones will be free until the first day of classes in the fall semester. This area does not include areas marked no parking, loading zones, other restricted parking or Jayhawk Boulevard. Jayhawk Boulevard can be parked on as posted.
The parking and traffic office has recently moved to new permanent quarters in Hoch Auditorium. The new quarters have a much larger area than the old ones in Robinson Gymnasium.
The office has been expanded from one room to three with a much larger area for the keeping of records. The new quarters are air conditioned and have much better lighting than the old quarters. The move was completed on July 29.
Anyone having business with the Parking and Traffic Office should apply at the new quarters.

Job Possibilities Good
The current recession does not seem to be affecting job possibilities for college graduates. In a poll taken by the Summer Session Kansan Friday, three of the schools asked said job possibilities were normal to better than normal.
Dean M. C. Slough, of the School of Law, said, "Job possibilities were
Dean J. Allen Reese of the School of Pharmacy, said, "A graduate of pharmacy can decide where he wants to work and go there and work. Starting salaries range from $500 to $800 per month."
better than normal this year. Starting salaries range from $350 to $600 per month."
Don Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said. "I would say that job possibilities for graduate engineers are about normal for this year. Starting salaries average around $470 per month."
Due to summer vacations for officials neither the School of Business nor the School of Education had information about job possibilities or starting salaries available for publication.
Asian Group To Be Here
KU will be home base for 14 Asian men coming to the United States Aug. 10 to study and observe community services.
During their first three weeks stay at KU they will be oriented to life in the United States by the social work department. Miss Esther Twente, professor of social work, is in charge of the program.
Zebu Butter Does Exist
A newsbrief sheet, with one story circled, was left in the Summer Session Kansan office with a note to "please note this item to the credit of the much maligned zebu" and was signed "a zebu fancier."
The paragraph said, "Cheese is made in some five hundred varieties, and from the milk of many animals including reindeer, camels, the llama and zebu, points out the Twentieth Century Fund report."
State Police School Here
Highway patrol and police supervisors from Kansas and Missouri are attending the Highway Patrol Command Training School at KU. The school began Monday and will run through Friday, August 8.
Twenty-seven persons are enrolled in the school, which is aimed at helping highway patrol administrative and command personnel improve management and personnel administration techniques. Special attention will also be given to improving communications procedures.
Moderating the training sessions are Richard Frederick and Cliff Fernstrom, both of the Northwestern University Traffic Institute, Evanston, Ill.
The group is sponsored by the National Social Welfare Assembly, a non-tax supported agency, by request of the International Exchange Service of the State Department. This is the first year KU has been asked to serve as an orientation center for one of the groups.
The countries represented in the group coming to KU will be Indonesia, Malaya, Singapore, Jordan, Iran, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
At KU they will participate in parts of the six-week Foreign Orientation Center directed by Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German. They will meet with this group of 47 foreign graduate students and professional people for lectures on American culture and films of general interest.
In addition, the social work department will acquaint the group with American education, government, economic structure and family life and will give the visitors an understanding of community health, welfare and recreation services.
After the first three weeks at KU, they will go to different communities throughout the country to observe social work and community services. Because of the predominant interest in youth services they will focus especially on youth agencies such as 4-H clubs, Scouts, boys clubs, Y.W.C.A., and Y.M.C.A. and church and school youth groups.
The men will return to KU during the Thanksgiving holiday for a three-day evaluation period, and then will leave for their own countries.
