CATALOGUE COPY

We would like to urge all departments to
drop from the catalogue the descriptions
of all courses which have not been offer-
ed for several years and which are not
likely to be offered for several years
to come, “e urge this because of our
feeling that it is not quite fair to pro-
spective students to give them the im—
pression that the University offers them
the opportunity to take many courses
which are not actually available,

Departments have, in the past, hesitated
to drop courses from the catalogue be-
cause it used to be rather difficult to
fet them back in when that became desir-—
eble, We believe this difficulty has
disavpeared quite largely in the last
few years and that there is no real dif-
ficulty now in getting courses restored
if the department requests it, We urge,
therefore, that departments definitely
consider the elimination of all descrip-
tions of dead courses from the coming
issue of the catalogue, making the usual
reavest of the faculty for such elimina-
tions,

MINISTERS * CONFERENCE
The University has always felt that it
should afford leadership to many business
and professional ¢roups of Fenseas citizens,
It has, therefore, svonsored a freat many
conferences of teachers, lawyers, doctors,
welders, firemen, businesses of all sorts,
etc, It has occurred to us that we have
failed to give such leadership as we might
have to the ministers of the state-—
incidentally, a group who too frequently
misunderstand us, We are, therefore,
planning to have a one-day ministers' con-
ference on Tuesday, December 2, to which
all the ministers of Kansas and this area
are being invited, For this conference we
are bringing, as leader, one of America's
Ppreatest preachers, Dr, Norman Vincent
Peale, of the Marble Collegiate Church in
New York City, Dr, Peale is well known as
the successful operator of a church clinic,
where a psychistrist and preacher collab-
orate in helpings people with their daily
problems, He preaches to the largest
Sunday night audience in New York City,

November 17, 1941

He is the author of The Art of Living,
now in its sixteenth edition, of You
Can Win and of Faith is the Answer.
For .six years he has been a National
Broadcasting Company feature with his
program on "The Art of Living," Dr,
Peale was chosen by Warner Brothers

as the technical religious director for
their picture "One Foot in Heaven."
This picture, which will be shown in
Lawrence for the first time on December
2, is full of laughs and yet it places
the Protestant minister, for the first
time, in his rightful place in American
life.

 

We urge the faculty to help this con-
ference in two ways:

1. Will you yourself attend the convo~
cation and urge your students to attend
it? We consider this convocation so
important that it will be broadcast and
a permanent sound record of it made for
distribution over the state, The high
school principals of the state are being
asked to let their schools listen in to
this convocation also.

2. University funds may not be used to
pay for feeding our guests, We believe
it would be a very sracious gesture if
we could announce to the preachers and
their wives that they are the guests of
the University faculty at the noon
luncheon, which will be held in the
ballroom of the Memorial Union Building
at 12:30, We would like to urge you to
attend this 50 cent luncheon and pay
for the lunch of at least one visiting
minister, This office will be gled to
receive your contributions for this
cause,
