School establishes award
Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business fraternity, announced the establishment of the Stockton Award at the recent School of Business luncheon.
The award was made in honor of Dr. F. T. Stockton, first dean of the business school. He served until 1947, when he became dean of University Extension.
The award will be made each year to a student who has achieved a distinguished record. A graduate from each class since the inception of the School of Business in 1924 will be selected and his name inscribed on a plaque to be displayed in the Stockton Room of Summerfield Hall.
The award was established by R. Stansbury Stockton, son of Dean Stockton and a professor in the business school at Indiana University.
Students win offices
Three University of Kansas students were elected to state offices last weekend in Wichita at the Kansas Young Democrats Convention.
The three students to take office next year are: Nila Walker, Wichita junior, Young Democrats first vice-president; Debbie Herron, Kansas City junior, Collegiate Young Democrats first vice-president and Garth Burns, Atchison junior, for third district chairman.
Mike Dickeson, Atchison senior, earlier had been appointed to the region 10 director's post. The region consists of Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota.
KU professors receive grants
Two University of Kansas professors have received research grants from the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Science Foundation.
Edward E. Smissman, professor of medicinal chemistry, obtained $36,731 from the U.S. Public Health Service for research in medicinal chemistry.
More specific information about drug action is the goal of the wide-range program, Dr. Smissman said.
Assisting him in the project are three graduate students, all Ph. D candidates in medicinal chemistry. They are: George Parker, Albany, N.Y.; James Ayres, Twin Falls, Idaho; and Hanan Al-Kaysi, Baghdad, Iraq.

The committees are composed of nine faculty members each. Under the new proposal, students would also serve on the committees.
Two new committees, one on instruction evaluation and one on research awards, composed of students and faculty members, would also be formed.
The College Council would include members of all five committees, and would act as an intermediary board which would handle routine matters and form major proposals for the College assembly to consider.
and a Committee on Faculty Promotions and Tenure.
College proposes revisions
The newly elected members of three College committees have been announced, said Eugene J. Fox, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
The nearly 600-member faculty of the University of Kansas College of Liberal Arts and Sciences discussed recent proposals for revamping the governmental system of the College in a recent meeting.
If passed by faculty vote, the proposals would call for student representation in College government and the formation of two new committees and a College Council.
Frances Horowitz, professor of psychology and human development, said there were three reasons for the proposed change in the College government. First, there are many functions to be performed, and a more efficient method of deciding issues needs to be found.
The second problem involves
getting enough faculty members together to decide issues. At present, a quorum of the faculty is needed to vote on proposed measures. Mrs. Horowitz said faculty meetings are poorly attended unless a very important issue is to be decided.
Finally, she said, many faculty members believe student representation is vital to the College government.
The proposed government calls for the addition of 120 students and 60 teaching assistants and assistant instructors to the governing assembly.
The faculty members elected to the Educational Policy Committee were: Howard Baumgartel, professor of psychology; Walter Crokett, professor of speech and drama; Donald Dusanic, associate professor of microbiology and Norman Yetman, associate professor of sociology and American studies.
College faculty elects committee members
The assembly of faculty members, said Mrs. Horowitz, is presently controlled by a Committee on Educational Policy, a Committee on Longrange Planning
Vienna became a center of foreign trade during the 12th Century.
Newly announced members of the College Planning Committee were: William Kuhike, associate professor of speech and darma; Harry M. Lindquist, associate professor of anthropology; Edward L. Ruhe, professor of English and Charles Stansifer, associate professor of history.
