Greeks Meet To Plan New 'Fraternity Row'
Plans to create a new "fraternity row" at KU will get a chance to materialize Thursday when representatives from fraternities and sororites meet with the KU Endowment Assn. to discuss sale of lots south of Stouffer Place.
The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. in 210 Strong Hall.
Sale price of the 2-acre lots will range from $5,000 to $7,500. Any building on the lot must cost at least $150,000 and must house a minimum of 45 single students.
Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the association, said the lots will be sold only to KU fraternity or sorority groups. Youngberg said
THIS COULD BE YOU. The familiar blue university parking ticket may be taken more seriously this year. Even faculty and staff members will pay for their parking tickets. For the first violation there will be a warning ticket only. The second ticket will cost you $2, the third $4, the fourth $8 and the fifth and all additional tickets will be $16. All regulations were in effect today.
several of the organizations have requested the association to formulate some plan whereby they could build new structures in the future.
Monday, Sept. 16, 1957
The Endowment Assn. has been considering the move for about three years and purchased the tract of land a year ago last May. This summer the Lawrence planning board and city commission approved a plan of the area submitted by Tanner and Mitchell Associates, architects at Kansas City.
Enrollment changes will be made Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m.; Wednesday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and from 2 to 4:30 p.m.; Thursday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and from 2 to 4:30 p.m.; Friday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and from 2 to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m.
Youngberg said the project have been prompted by the inability of KU organizations to buy suitable sites in the city of Lawrence. He said that approximately 10 organizations have voiced interest to members of the association.
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may make changes in their schedules beginning Tuesday in the central lobby of Strong Hall.

Induction Program Ends Orientation
The final event on the Orientation Week schedule is the Traditions Convocation and New Student Induction at 7:30 tonight. The program will begin in Hoch Auditorium and end in Memorial Stadium.
A new student oath will be administered by the chancellor and a pageant explaining the symbols and seal of the university will be presented.
Traditions of the university will be explained in Hoch before the group goes to the stadium.
9,030 Register; Most Since 1948
Registration totaled 9,030 this morning as the University began its 92nd year, James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions reported.
The total is 469 more than were registered at the same time in 1956. Enrollment here is 8,270 compared to 7,801 a year ago, while the K.U. Medical Center in Kansas City remained constant at 760.
Duplication of last year's 300 late enrollments would bring the final figure above the 9,300 mentioned frequently for planning purposes. The final figure of 8,864 for 1956 already has been exceeded by 166.
The 1957 registration is KU's third largest, exceeded only in 1947 and 1948. Attendance on the Lawrence campus, however, is a little below that of 1946, the difference being accounted for by the more than doubling in size of the School of Medicine.

Murphy Cites KU Advances
Fair this afternoon and tonight. Little change in temperature today. Increasing cloudiness Tues s d ay. Warmer west tonight and south and east portions Tuesday. Low tonight, 50 to 60. High Tuesday, upper 80's.
The chancellor listed new additions to the physical plant over the past year and outlined those planned for the future. He also explained the responsibilities of the faculty and students to the University.
The faith of the people of Kansas in their state university has created clear challenges to both faculty and students, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said this morning at the 92nd annual opening exercises of the University.
"Kansans through their elected representatives at the last session of the Legislature restated with vigor their determination that the educational opportunities of the Kansas youth should move forward with the tempo of the time." Dr. Murphy told about 2,000 faculty and students in Hoch Auditorium.
Funds Provided
"This was manifested by the acts of the Legislature and the governor in approving substantial appropriations, and we have every reason to believe the people will continue to recognize the legitimate needs of the University."
The faculty and students should comprehend fully the sincerity of these actions, Dr. Murphy said, by delivering on their share of the responsibility.
"The first responsibility of the faculty is to provide the best educational service to the students," Dr. Murphy said.
They must also provide imaginative academic leadership in research and must critically analyze current programs to assure the most efficient use of facilities and personnel." he said.
"The student body must understand our determination that KU products be both well trained and well educated," he emphasized.
The chancellor announced two major projects for the coming year. In early 1958 a work should be started on a major addition to Snow Hall to provide a modern laboratory for a mammalian genetics center.
"This will not merely be a mouse breeding enterprise," Dr. Murphy said.
The center is to be financed by and created at the behest of the U.S. Public Health Service.
To further a program to establish the KU library as a major bibliographic center of the trans-Mississippi West, the Summerfield Collection of Renaissance Thought and Culture will be created. A member of the staff is now in Europe as a part of a 10-year program to acquire original materials.
The chancellor described the opening of the $2^{1 / 2}$ million dollar music and dramatic arts building as not only an important addition to the educational facilities of the University, but as a symbol of cultural development in the state.
Building Noted
Dr. Murphy said that the Stouffer Place apartments for married students will be doubled in size during the year by addition of another 120 units.
By late fall work will begin on the L3 million-dollar hall for the School of Business, department of economics and computing center. The Board of Regents has authorized application for a loan for a major addition to the Student Union on the north, and preliminary planning has begun for major engineering structures west of Naismith Drive.
"Our society can not grow in a balanced fashion unless creative arts grow in proportion," he said.
Housing for single students will be increased by the Joseph R. Pearson dormitory for men under construction on West Campus Road. By early spring a start will be made on two halls, each for 430 students in the "Daisy Field" area southeast of the intersection of 15th and Iowa streets.
At the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., Dr. Murphy pointed to occupation this month of the Logan Clendening Library, construction of the Children's Rehabilitation Center, enlargement of the postgraduate facilities in the continuation study center, and expansion of X-ray and radioisotope facilities.
"It must become a central force in our little city of 10,000," he said.
