SNOOZING SPORTSMAN—George Anthan, Kansas City, Kan. senior only meant to relax a moment in one of the soft armchairs of the William Allen White Reading Room. Anthan, The Daily Kansan's sports editor, relaxed all right. He was out like a light when the photographer snapped this picture.
No Tests, Free Books For Executive Course
Courses with no tests are among the unusual features of the Executive Development Program, held for the past three summers on the campus.
This is a "back-to-school" program for men with executive responsibilities.
The program is sponsored by the School of Business, and will be held June 9 through Aug. 11. W. Keith Weltmer is director of the program and L. Martin Jones, his assistant director. Both are assistant professors of business administration.
Only 24 students will be accepted for next summer's session. Applicants are chosen so that there will be a diversity of industries represented and also a variety of geographical locations represented.
The program, started in the summer of 1955, was inaugurated when businessmen in the Midwest wanted a place to send their men for executive training. There are about 30 other schools for executive training in the country, most of them in the East and Northwest.
The men are housed for the 5-week session in Grace Pearson dormitory.
"Members are given a series of cases which deal with problems drawn from actual business. There are no "canned" solutions and no answers are given. We don't advocate any certain solutions."
Classes are held in the Kansas Union six days a week from 8:10 to 12:05. Class periods last an hour and ten minutes and are taught by the case method.
All of the men have had at least 15 years of business experience and are all executives, from plant supervisors to presidents, Mr. Weltmer explained. There are no formal education requirements but most of the men are college graduates, he said.
The University furnishes all books and supplies.
Class officers are elected by the men at the end of the first week and committees for recreation, future planning, and a yearbook are selected. Faculty and students go on a first name basis during the course.
Commencement exercises are held at the end of the course and certificates of completion are given at this
time to all students. Bosses and wives are invited to attend the final exercises.
"Approximately 50 per cent of the companies send different executives back each year," Mr. Weltmer said. "This is an indication of the success of the program."

David Dodds, although a bit unsure of a few of his expressions, gave a creditable performance. We especially liked his aria before the murder of Desideria.
Goff's Directing Impeccable
In many operas, acting fails where music succeeds. Lewin Goff's impeccable stage direction guided the actors not only to believability in their roles but to even more. The cast made the characters they played real people. In our book, that's what makes a good show great.
The music was a reproduction of the combined settings, moods and various individual emotions. Robert Bautian's handling of the 48 piece orchestra was so effective that one could believe he was guiding a professional group. Prof. Clayton Krehbiel's fine choral direction also deserves praise.
Herbert Camburn's five settings depicted as perfectly as paint on wood and canvas can, the Bleeker Street area, and was augmented by E. Arthur Kean's lighting. Prof. Virgil Godfrey's costumes were simple enough to balance the naturalness of the opera.
Special commendation should go
to Richard Borgen, Lawrence sophomore, for his deft handling of the 100-plus lighting cues, and to stage manager Glenn Bickle, Kansas City, Mo. junior, for his excellent production coordination.
