Graduate school dean Weiss studies in Honolulu workshop
Arnold H. Weiss, assistant dean of the graduate school and assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese, is attending a two-week educational conference in Honolulu.
Weiss and 23 other American educators are attending the conference, which began Nov. 27, to study the developments in the educational systems of six Asian countries.
The countries are Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam.
HDFL subject is psychotic control
The educators were selected on a competitive basis by the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA) to attend the workshops. They will later conduct similar workshops for other educational institutions in their areas.
Laboratory investigation of punishment is the subject of a Human Development and Family Life lecture by Nathan Azrin, a research psychologist, at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Director of the Behavioral Research Laboratory at Anna State Hospital, Anna, Ill., Azrin is working on the development of control techniques for psychotic patients.
A Harvard Ph.D., his areas of interest include the affects of punishment on psychotic patients and aggressive behavior.
He is a former editor of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior.
Gunn elected to ACPRA
James E. Gunn, director of University Relations at KU, has been chosen chairman-elect of the Mid-America District of the American College Public Relations Association (ACPRA). He will assume the chairmanship in the summer of 1969 and will be responsible for the 1969 conference in Kansas City, Mo.
Mrs. Ruth Prescott of Grinnell College in Iowa will be the 1968 Mid-America ACPRA chairman in 1968 and will be co-director of the meeting in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Mid-America ACPRA holds joint annual meetings and workshops with the American Alumni Council.
The Mid-America District includes Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, and Colorado.
Arlington academy lures KU's Kline
James S. Kline, coordinator of police training since 1963 for the Governmental Research Center at KU, has been appointed director of training for the newly-formed Regional Police Academy of the North Central Texas Council of Governments at Arlington, Texas.
Kline's resignation here will become effective Jan. 7,1968, according to William H.Cape, associate director of the Center.
Kline is a former sheriff of Marion County and a 10-year veteran as a special agent for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. He is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy for law enforcement officers.
The Regional Police Academy, located between Dallas and Fort Worth and scheduled to open shortly after the first of the year, is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. The Council of Governments serves and is supported by municipal and county governments in the 10-county area in and around Dallas and Fort Worth. It will serve as a cooperative venture in police training to assist local governments.
Figures don't lie, but—
The freshman class at KU shows a phenomenal increase in the number of women in the School of Engineering and Architecture. The gain is 25 per cent over 1966.
Seeking the reason for the school's new feminine appeal, officials stopped short when they noticed the increase was caused by only one woman. Enrollment is up from last fall's four women to five this fall.
Author to talk here Thursday
The author of "The Behavioral Persuasion in Politics" will lecture here Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room.
Heinz Eulau, Stanford University political science professor and a former fellow with the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, will discuss "The Social Scientific Study of Policy Makers and Policy Outcomes."
The lecture is part of the University social science lecture series endowed by the Sperry and Hutchinson Company. The series is devoted to examining the contribution of the social sciences to public affairs.
A native of Germany, Eulau holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He is a director of the Institute of Political Studies at Stanford, general editor of the International Yearbook of Political Behavior Research, associate editor of the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences.
