Regents To View Travel Grants At Sept.27 Meeting
Thursday, Sept. 19, 1957
Will the Board of Regents be lenient in allowing faculty travel grants? That question will be answered Sept. 27 at the Board's September meeting.
Five faculty members have requested grants so far.
Approval of requests by faculty members for out-of-state traveling expenses will now be made by the Board of Regents, and not as previously by Governor George Docking.
This summer the board asked the state attorney general for a ruling on the governor's action and Attorney General John Anderson Jr said that the board of regents and not the governor was responsible for granting such approvals.
Assumed Duty
When Governor Docking took office in January he assumed the duty of approval of these expenses. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said Governor Docking denied 6 of about 200 requests on which he passed judgment.

Jurisdiction Fixed
The statute involved is section 75-3208 of "General Statutes of Kansas," 1949 edition. It says that expense money may be granted for out-of-state travel if "approval therefor has been given in writing by the official who appoints the head of the department" which requests the funds.
Attorney General Anderson rules that since the board of regents is the "official" which appoints the head of the University, the board had the duty to approve requests by University officials for traveling expenses.
Mr. Nichols said that at least half of the money spent on travel by University faculty does not fall in this category, because it is a part of research grants. Traveling done other than under a research grant, however, is financed by the state.
Dramatic Artist To Act In'Henry IV'
Jerome Kilty will be a guest artist with the University Theatre Nov 12-16 in its first production of the season. Shakespeare's "Henry IV," part 1.

This season Mr. Kilty has been featured with Eddie Bracken in the touring company of "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter."

$7,625 Cancer Investigation Directed By Burckhalter
Dr. Joseph H. Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, has been designated main investigator of research on cancer supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute of the United States Public Health Service. The 3-year grant is for $7,625 the first year.
Dr. Burckhalter also was appointed a special consultant of the Institute and named a member of the chemistry panel of the Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center of the Institute in July.
Cloudy through Friday with occasional light rain or drizzle over most state tonight and occasional rain west Friday. Much cooler most state tonight and cooler east Friday. Low tonight near 40 northwest to lower 50's southeast. High Friday 50's.
Weather
Research on the project will be in the area of synthesizing a zasteroids, new kinds of substance. Steroids are a class of compounds containing a carbon ring system and
include sterols, certain hormones and vitamins. The cancer research will be concentrated on such steroids as sex hormones and cortisone. The researchers are interested in replacing one of the carbons in a ring with nitrogen, thus giving the new class of steroids.

IFC To Review Rush Week, Elect Delegates
Lawrence Firm Low On Landscape Bids
The Interfraternity Council will meet at 9 p.m. Monday in the Pine Room of the Student Union to decide whether to retain the new rush system used this fall.
The council will also elect delegates to the National Interfraternity conference and set a date for Greek Week.
"More rush dates make more work for the fraternities, but the new arrangements are better for the rushee," he said.
Gene Paris, Kansas City, Mo. senior, president of the IFC, said he was disappointed in the number of men (610) who went through rush week, but he was pleased that a high percentage of rushees (545) pledged.
Paris said he believes that the new rush system is better than the old system, since it gives men a chance to get acquainted with more fraternities before they pledge.
Under the new system, each rushee must attend six rush dates before he can pledge. The dates were shortened this year. Formerly a rushee could pledge any time after rush week began.
Pat Little, Wichita junior, rush chairman of Delta Upsilon, also likes the new system.
Jack Burton, Prairie Village junior, rush chairman of Phi Kappa Psi, said the new system is better because. "The rushee has more time to think carefully about choosing a fraternity."
"This year a rushee couldn't pledge until having visited six fraternities. With more time to make his choice, the rushee is less likely to make the wrong choice," he said.
Aide Named To Help IFC Pledge Council
Lance Johnson, Wymore, Neb. sophomore, has been named by the Interfraternity Council to aid the Interfraternity Pledge Council in its organization.
Gene Paris, Kansas City, Mo senior, president of the IFC, said no date has been set for the organization meeting or the IFPC.

A card section of 550 is expected to perform at the home games, beginning with the KU-Oregon State game Sept. 28. Card section members will be drawn from the KuKu, Jay Jane, Red Peppers and Frosh Hawk pep clubs.

All four clubs will participate in the Night Shirt Parade Sept. 27.
Mr. Lawton said the low bid was $74,606. Completion deadline is 120 days and construction is expected to get underway within 30 days, Mr. Lawton said.
Approval Awaited
The bids must first be processed by the state architect and the state department of administration.
Temporary Walks
The construction will include water lines, steam tunnels, contour grading, drainage pipes, completion of a service drive from Naismith Road to the Hoch Auditorium driveway,and a minimum of sidewalks to the new building.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said all the sidewalks needed will not be put in because the appropriation for the job is not sufficient to completely outfit the new building with sidewalks.
Until the construction is finished students using the building will use gravel or board walks. Other sidewalks will be added later, Mr. Nichols said, since not enough are provided for in the contract.
When the Kansas Construction Co. completes its work, the KJ buildings and grounds department will haul topsoil to the area around the building and plant grass.
Student Court At Stand-Still
The Student Court will be at a stand-still until four vacancies for justices and the chief justice position are filled.
The four justices must be appointed by Bob Billings, president of the student body, and the chief justice will be appointed by M. C. Slough, dean of the School of Law.
The first meeting of the court should be by the end of September. According to the ASC constitution, a meeting must be held every month,
The Student Court basically will handle traffic fines but any other problems may come before the court.
Moderator for the debate will be Dr. Francis Heller, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Speaking for the affirmative will be Miss Emilv Taylor, dean of women, and Emil Telfel, associate professor of journalism. Dr. Frank Nelick, assistant professor of English and Dr. John Patton, professor of religion, will speak for the negative.
"Resolved that the moral standards of an individual are determined by his environment" will be the proposition at an English-style debate 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26 in the Student Union ballroom. I4 will be sponsored by the KU-Y.
