Business School Curriculum Altered
Juniors entering the School of Business next fall will have a chance to enroll in the first pilot group section to be offered by the School of Business, Dean James R. Surface of the business school, announced Tuesday.
The section is a series of new curriculum requirements planned by the business school faculty.
The pilot group will coneer only the so called core courses which are required of all business school students regardless of their major. This group will take up 11 hours each semester of a regular class load.
Courses included in the section are business administration practices, marketing, statistics, finance production, and written communication.
"The main thrust is to specify the sequence of courses so that the instructor will know that everyone in class has had the previous courses offered and can build his class to a higher level." Dean Surface said.
One of the major differences between the pilot group and the program that is now in effect is that students will start out in a group and take the courses in regular sequence. They will be working with the same group of students both semesters as it is only possible to enter the section at the beginning of the fall term.
Students who are interested in applying for the section should sign up in 214 Strong, the business school office, by May 1. A meeting in
Strong Auditorium to answer questions about the program wil be held at 4 p.m. April 24.

Patterson Blasts Kansan For 'Smear Campaign'
Tuesday's 2-party political rally nearly turned into a 1-man show, as only one of the three candidates for student body president addressed 300 Vox Populi and Allied Greek-Independent party members.
The lone candidate. AGI's Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior, blasted The Daily Kansan for what he called "the biggest smear campaign ever on this campus."
The other two president candidates weren't at the rally. Vox candidate John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. junior, was in Topeka on Elections Committee business, and nonpartisan candidate Ed Prelock, Cleve'and, Ohio senior, made no appearance.
Prelock said Tuesday night that since the rally was postponed from Monday to Tuesday he had never been formally invited to speak or attend.
Many Speakers
Vox had about twice as many party members as AGI at the rally and dominated applause.
Both parties got into the act, with speeches by Patterson, his vicepresidential running mate Susie Stout, Wichita junior, Vox leaders Dave Wilson, Leawood junior, and Jim Austin, Topeka sophomore (Vox president), and AGI's Jim Schultz, Salina senior, and Joel Sterrett, Toneka senior (AGI president).
In the opening speech, Wilson reviewed the 8-month history of Vox, saying "a group of KU students headed by Jim Austin set out to organize the best political party KU has ever known.
"Vox spent 10 weeks selecting its candidates." Wilson said. "Each candidate represented a different living group or school district."
Wilson said Vox would not load the ASC or committees with members from one house or a small group of houses.
At the end of his speech, Wilson
Kansas legislators. Standing on the right Sen. Donald Hults (R-Lawrence) and sitting on the far left is Joe McDowell. (D-Kansas City).
POLITICAL DEBATE—The Kansas Legislature's special budget session was debated Tuesday night in the Kansas Union Cafeteria by two
introduced the 25 Vox candidates for the ASC.
Patterson took a phrase from Monday's UDK editorial page to say "If anything has hit 'gutbucket bottom,' it is the principles of journalism at KU."
732 Vote
Voting was unusually heavy this morning with 732 students voting at all polls through 10:30.
Fifty-six students voted for student body president at Malott Hall, 66 at Lindley, 70 at Marvin, 121 at Strong basement, 148 at Strong Rotunda, 76 at Bailey, 159 at Fraser and 72 at the Kansas Union.
A total of 313 votes were cast for junior class officers, the highest of any class. Eighty-five of the votes were cast in Malott Hall.
He listed the major achievements of the ASC this year and said "The results of student govern- mant are a direct result of AGI control of the ASC."
Patterson said "It seems some students at KU take great pleasure in running down campus leaders" rather than emphasizing the good points of student government.
Miss Stout preceded Patterson with a restatement of the ticket's platform, and said "It is a tragedy when a large personalized scandal has to be created to get votes for a political party."
Austin spoke briefly and drew the loudest applause of the day when he introduced Sarge, Lawrence retriever, as the Vox mascot.
Sterrett introduced the AGI candidates, and said the AGI slate was "selected through the true primary."
