Mitchell said Fambrough would work with KU linemen and said that "Don's acceptance fills our coaching staff with one of KU's finest men. We are very happy to obtain a coach of his experience and background."
Conceerning the other post up for appointee Jan. 1, now held by a republican—Topeka publisher Oscar Stauffer—the governor said it was under consideration.
TOPEKA—(UP)—Gov. George Docking today named George B. Collins, Wichita attorney and a Democrat, to a 4 year term on the Board of Regents, effective Jan. 1.
The new appointment Mr. Collins, was president of the Wichita Bar Assn, this year and is a member of the American Bar Assn.
55th Year, No. 62
The KU varsity football staff now has George Bernhardt as first assistant, Fambrough and Bobby Goad as line coaches and Bill Pace and Gene Corrotto as backfield coaches, Mitchell said he believes that no KU head coach had had the benefit of better assistants.
The governor has one more Democrat and a Republican to name to the 9 member bi-partisan board, which governs the state's five colleges and university.
Mr. Collins replaces A. W. Hershberger, Democratic attorney from Wichita.
New Regent Appointed
Fambrough won all Big Six honors on the KU co-champions of 1946 and the Orange Bowl team of 1947. In 1948 he assisted the coaching staff and a year later became a full-time member of the staff. He was freshman coach, then became line coach and first assistant to J. V. Sikes.
The 33rd annual Christmas Vespers will be presented at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium by students and faculty of the School of Fine Arts.
Fambrough went with Sikes after the latter resigned from KU in 1953, to East Texas State College at Commerce, where he was first assistant during the 1954-56 seasons.
ASC Plans System For Course Ideas
Choral and instrumental music and a series of tableaux have been prepared by members of the drawing and painting department. Also included in the program will be a recital of Christmas music on the Memorial Carillon.
Dates Set For Opening Bids
33rd Christmas Vespers Sunday
Dates have been set for opening of bids on the proposed School of Business building and a new men's dormitory.
The state will open the School of Business building bids Feb. 14. The 4-story aluminum curtain building, to be located southeast of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building on Sunnyside Avenue will cost about $1,-250,000
The tentative date for receiving bids for construction of L. N. Lewis Hall, a 7-story dormitory at 15th and Iowa streets has been set for Feb. 4.
Student-Administration Suggestion Channel Shaped
Campus police estimated total damage at $150 in an automobile accident at 7:50 a.m. today at Jayhawk Boulevard and Poplar Lane.
Max A. Thayer, Lawrence senior, who was parked before Hoch Auditorium, opened the car door to get out when a car driven by Thomas D. Herlocker, Winfield sophomore, hit Thayer's door.
The right fender, headlight and parking light were damaged on Herlocker's car. Damage to each car was estimated at $75. No one was injured.
There should soon be a permanent arrangement for student suggestions on changes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum.
The All Student Council Committee to Review the College Curriculum decided this at a meeting Thursday with the deans of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. They outlined plans for developing a suggestion channel from students to the administration.

Yep, It's Friday The 13th
Superstition? Of course not! Nevertheless, everyone is a little more careful of black cats, ladders and the like on this supposedly ill-fated day. Friday the 13th.
Actually, the whole idea of this being an unlucky day is a combination of two old superstitions, the idea that the number 13 is jinxed and that Friday is a bad day because of the crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday.
The unlucky 13 idea originated with those prolific creators of custom and myth, the Greek gods. Twelve gods had a banquet one evening. The god of strife and mischief appeared, making 13. Immediately one of the favorites in the group died.
The three students in the picture below seem to think there is
some truth in the superstition as they stare grimly at the announcement on a blackboard. From left: Kent Wilkinson, Kansas City, Kan. junior; Julia Rayl, Hutchinson sophomore, and Anna Wiley, Lawrence freshman.
On one occasion when both of these indications of bad luck fell together, passengers sailing on a boat from Southampton, England, demanded that the trip be postponed until 12:01 a.m. the next day.
Here are a few of the things that custom and superstition advise even the most sensible to avoid today.
First and most important, don't go courting or get married. Any drastic romantic commitment on Friday the 13th is certain to be ill fated.
It's not a good idea for servants to take a new job today or for anyone to cut fingernails if he really wants to insure safety during the hexed hours.
If you see that you are one of 13 persons in a room, get out fast or one of you will die within a year. Don't be too anxious about it, though, for insurance predictions say that this happens anyway.
Our forefathers exhibited an unusual amount of common sense when they designed the Great Seal of the United States. It has 13 stars, 13 bars, 13 feathers in the eagle's tail, 13 darts in his claw, 13 leaves and 13 olives on the olive branch and 13 letters in the motto, E Pluribus Unum.
- "The deans and representatives
The deans and representatives of the College administrative committee were impressed with the sincerity, reasonableness and the amount of work which students had put into their suggestions." said Jason Ott, Wakecney second-year law student and chairman of the committee.
The committee received some suggestions through boxes set up in Strong Hall Dec. 4. These were presented to the deans at the meeting Thursday.
To Consider Proposals
Under the present system for circuiculum changes, proposals are made—usually by faculty members—to the administrative committee, which studies the proposals and makes changes.
Ott said that after Christmas vacation his committee will consider several proposals for establishing a permanent method of receiving students suggestions.
As an example of how the administrative committee functions, Ott said that in the next two weeks it will decide whether to adopt a regulation which would waive the foreign language requirement for foreign students who already know one of the languages offered.
The suggestions included having more humanities courses in the engineering curriculum and having graduating seniors meet with the faculty of their department for an evaluation of the department.
ASC Planning Spring Meeting
Ott said the ASC is planning to sponsor a meeting in the spring at which Dean George Waggoner, the College, will give an explanation of the American system of college education, as compared to the European system. Another speaker will explain the European system.
"If this idea of getting student opinion on the curriculum is proved workable, we hope to provide a permanent mechanical process by which student suggestions can be heard," Ott said.
26 Take Polio Shots
Twenty-six students took advantage of the low priced polio shots at Watkins Hospital Thursday.
The hospital reported that a few students who had not taken their first shot at the hospital had to pay $1 for a third shot.
The shots are $1 for the first shot and 50 cents for the second. The third and fourth shots are free. These rates apply only to those who have taken the first shot at KU.
