Early enrollment set to run until Dec.15
Early enrollment for seniors graduating in June or August, 1938; freshmen in the College-within-the College; sophomores in Centennial College; and student teachers in the School of Education begins today and will continue through Dec. 15.
All students in these classifications, except for second-semester seniors, must enroll at this time, according to the early enrollment schedule of classes. Second-semester seniors may enroll during regular enrollment Jan. 31 through Feb. 3.
Students must pick up materials
Students who will be enrolling early must go to their dean's office
Claiming to create "a new dimension in sound" the Fifth Dimension, a vocal group of three men and two girls, will play at 7:30 p.m. Dec.13 in Hoch Auditorium.
Their appearance is the second in a special Hoch series of concerts presented by the Student Union Activities Special Events Committee. The first of the series was Tuesday's Harry Simeone Chorale concert.
Ticket sales will begin Dec. 6 and continue through the night of the concert at the Information Booth and at the desk in the Kansas Union. Seats will be $2, $1.50 and $1.
The group has appeared on numerous television shows, including "Where the Action Is," "Shebang," "Hollywood Palace" and most recently "One Night Stands," a CES documentary.
The Fifth Dimension was discovered on a Ray Charles tour and became known for their release of "Go Where You Wanna Go." Their most recent hit song is titled "Up, up and Away."
'Dimension will perform December13
to pick up enrollment material and receive enrollment instructions.
The students must then meet with their advisors, fill out an enrollment card and return it, with the advisor's signature, to their dean's office before Dec. 15.
To validate their enrollment, students enrolling early must register at Robinson Gymnasium between Jan. 31 and Feb.2, when other students are enrolling and registering at the Kansas Union.
When students in the early enrollment program appear at Robinson Gymnasium they will receive a schedule of their new classes, a fee statement and a copy of their fall semester grades.
The program is an experiment to see how well early enrollment works. If it is successful, other students may be able to enroll early, Hitt said earlier this semester.
Early enrollment this year will reduce the crowded conditions at the Union during regular enrollment, Hitt said.

Gant is responsible for initiating and directing a Peace Corps program for the Dominican Republic's rural elementary teachers. The program, tailored to rural education needs, is being used as a model in other Latin American countries.
'If you can't teach, clean'
By Maggie Ogilvie Kansan Staff Reporter
Administrators who don't know what it really means to teach a student should be janitors, because "any institution needs people to take care of the place," an assistant English instructor told students in McCollum Hall last night.
Hamilton S. Salsich, free university coordinator, said he is "subversively" undermining KU's present structure while some administrators' "great desire for comfort, ease, quiet, and stability" is making it less an educational institution.
Learning "how to fit in, get along, and play it cool reduces
man to an animal. We have a good many Pavlov's dogs here," Salsich said in the first culture and education lecture sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH).
"Any one of you can do a hell of a lot to change this institution," he said, "but if you wait for a lot of others to join you, you're going to wash out of here with a B.A. and kick yourself for it later!
"A good many really are wondering why they are here, what brought them, and what they hope to achieve," he said in regard to his topic, "A Chance for a Freer School."
"Supposedly the best-educated man has enabled himself to construct a nice, comfortable system of life. He is the one who has taken the most courses and read the most books.
"To most of us, it's a drag to go to classes," he said. It absurd to take 120 hours to graduate. Fifty hours over four years would be ideal and you would have time to think and formulate ideas about what you read."
"First of all," he said, "abolish the idea of a major as we have it now. What we have to do in higher education is to learn how to see relationships between facts, rather than to accumulate them.
"The first few years of college you should be concerned with

No speakers scheduled at KU yet
By Sam Neff Kansan Staff Reporter
Five weeks ago, efforts to establish a speaker's program at KU had not met with much success.
Today KU still does not have any speakers scheduled to speak, but the prospects of a speaker's

Kyle Craig, Joplin, Mo., junior and student body president, said he had spoken with Gov. Robert Docking during the homecoming weekend. He said Docking had contacted Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.) about speaking at KU and that Docking will see Kennedy at a convention in mid-December. Kennedy has not answered Docking yet, Craig said.
Craig said he plans to write Docking before the convention to remind him to talk with Kennedy about speaking at KU. Craig said he plans to write Kennedy after the convention to ask him to speak here. Kennedy is scheduled to speak at K-State in February, 1968.
Shortly after Gov. Ronald Reagan of California spoke at Kansas State on Oct. 26, Craig said it was difficult to say anything concrete
about how the speaker's program was going. He said prospective speakers did not want to commit themselves to speaking engagements because they did not know what would happen in the primaries.
Craig said several people had been contacted about speaking at KU, but no affirmative answers had been received. These contacted included Michigan Gov. George Romney and former vicepresident Richard M. Nixon.
It was announced earlier this week that Romney will speak at Kansas State State Dec. 6. Today Craig said Romney and Nixon had been contacted through the National Republican Speaker's Bureau. Craig said he plans to write follow-up letters to both men.
Craig also has spoken with Rey Bliss, head of the National Republican Party, and with Jim Baker, head of the National Republican Speakers Bureau.
Craig said Bliss told him he would do everything he could to help schedule political speakers for KU, but that he works more on a national level and that Baker could give him more help.
Craig said Baker told him if names of prospective speakers were definitely decided on, and if they were then contacted in advance of a desired speaking date, they would probably speak at KU.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe also has written to Baker concerning this matter, Craig said.
"I got the impression from Baker," Craig said, "that nobody will be doing anything until March, as far as scheduling definite speaking dates."
"I hope to get a break on this in the next couple of weeks. I should know a lot more about it then,"
Craig said. "Speakers should be able to give definite answers by early January, but it will be from mid-February to the first of May before any definite speaking commitments are made."
