Registration begins at noon in the north lobby of the Kansas Union.
The day's first seminar will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Forum Room with "Price Level Adjustment on Financial Statements" as the topic. J. D. Prelogar, president of the Accounting Society, will preside.

Ph. D. program in comparative lit is scheduled at KU
By the fall of 1969, KU should be offering a doctorate degree in comparative literature, according to John Senior, professor of English and chairman of the comparative literature committee.
The doctorate program has been planned for about three years and has recently been submitted to the Graduate Council of the KU Graduate School for approval, Senior said. The committee which has planned the program consists of representatives of six languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Slavic and classic languages.
A comparative literature course will be offered next semester: seminar in comparative literature in medieval studies. Another course already in operation is seminar in bibliography.
If approved by the Graduate Council, the program will offer a doctorate, Senior said. He anticipates that a student would receive his B.A. and M.A. in a language, then take a Ph.D. in comparative literature. The program would be strictly graduate.
The committee has been assured the program will be approved by the Graduate Council and will be operational in 1969.
Students attend Air Force talks
Two KU students attended the 10th annual Air Force Academy Assembly in Colorado April 3 to 6.
Kenneth R. Gray, Ulysses senior, and Donald P. Foster Jr., El Dorado senior, attended the meetings which were co-sponsored by the Academy and the American Assembly of Columbia University.
Gray and Foster were among 120 students from 70 colleges and universities who discussed relations between the United States and Eastern Europe in seven round-table discussions.
Drafted KU students can finish semester
Lt. Gen. Charles Rich, Army reserve chief, said recently college students in Reserve units may request deferments until they finish the current semester.
Rich also said high school students in Reserve units ordered up recently will be deferred automatically until they finish high school.
Other deferments, he said, will be granted for such causes as hardship and in cases where the reservist is a sole surviving son.
Mini, maxi, midi and...?
A buffet dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Presiding will be Jack T. Nester, president of the Kansas City chapter of the National Association of Accountants.
The second seminar will begin at 4 p.m. in the Forum Room with "Income Reporting for Conglomerates—Where Are We Going?" as the topic. Presiding will be Charles N. Outman, special activities director at the Kansas City chapter of the National Association of Accountants.
Americans are just beginning to cope with the idea of the mid-calf midi skirt plus the mini. But, in London the dolls are blithely adding a third length to their skirts . . right below the knee. They call it the midi . . while the mid-calf is a maxi . . and the mini is still the mini.
Speakers will be John Bancroft, attorney and partner of Morrison, Hecker, Coax, Morrison and Curtis, Kansas City; Larry Wood, vice-president of Stern Brothers, Kansas City; Dennis McCarthy, C.P.A. and partner of Arthur Young and Co., Kansas City; and Stanley Sandberg, vice-president
