Enrollment in classics increasing
Enrollment in the classics department at the University of Kansas counters the idea that Latin and Greek are dead languages, and to Riosen, associate professor of classics.
Roen said last week that there had been a steady increase in enrollment in the program.
"Perhaps the major increase came two years ago," Rosen said, "when the classical antiquity major we offer trinked its number of matrons."
Rozen said that the classical antiquity major was suited for those students who
weren't interested in studying only Greek and Latin languages and literatures. He said that the major offered students were well prepared and kinds of courses they could take.
IN THE CLASSICAL antiquity major, Rosen said, the students study classical archaeology and art, and ancient history, philosophy, mythology and religion.
David Wescoe, Allentown, Pa., junior,
who is a classical antiquity major, said that
the major gave the student a broad ex-
perience of the past and its relation to
the present.
Steering committee looks to KU's future
A newly created committee of University of Kansas faculty members and administrators has begun developing a long-range planning program that will help coordinate and standardize planning procedures at KU.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes recently appointed seven representatives from Lawrence and the KU Medical Center to work with James Appleberry, University director of planning, on the new Long-Range Planning Steering Committee.
Appleberry said recently that the committee wouldn't be responsible for doing much.
"Each department plans in its own way for its own needs," Appleberry said. "The steering committee's job is to provide planning models and guidelines to assist them and to provide a common framework for all." In with the University's over-all scheme."
Appleberry said that most effective long-planning involved looking ahead 10 to 20 days.
The committee will develop a planning schedule for all areas in the University except for facilities. It will identify people who should be involved in planning and develop guidelines for each campus planning unit. The committee will also assist in informing each planning unit of planning activities by the chancellor's office.
"We hope we can develop a process which everyone on the University's campuses can
support", Appleberry said. "If we can accomplish that, then we hope everyone, students, faculty and staff, can become members of the community to support the University's long-range plans."
Appleberry said that once the committee established a planning process, students could actively take part in University discussions and suggestions and ideas at planning meetings.
Some of the benefits of an organized long-range plan, Appleberry said, include preventing certain areas of planning from being neglected and providing better justification for program requests from the university internal funds allocations, he said.
He said the steering committee had met once and was told of its responsibilities. He said he anticipated the committee would present a rough draft of its first recommendations to Dykes by early second semester.
Members of the committee include Herman Lujan, director of social and environmental studies; Ralph Christoffersen, assistant vice chancellor for academic research; and Michael Murray, chairman of the department of electrical engineering; Kala Stroun, dean of women;
Russell C. Mills, associate vice chancellor for health affairs; David Waxman, vice chancellor for students, and E. B. Brown, vice chancellor for faculties and academic affairs.
Women said to make mark
She spoke to about 60 people in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Women have always made history and have played a major role in all aspects of American history, Gerda Lerner, director of the Museum, said last night. Her Studies program, said last night.
"Past experiences of women have come to us through men," Lerner said.
These experiences have been ignored by male historians, not because of a conspiracy, but because they didn't think even played a major role in history, she said.
"The history of women is male defined," Lerner said. "Men are the measure of significance and women are subordinate." He added that men's roles were indoctrinated into traditional female roles,
Siace colonial times women have been indoctrated into traditional female roles,
"But now women are organizing themselves," she said. "They are recognized but not recognized."
Lerner said that women's work was recognized only if it contributed to women.
"Women have always made history. We've been the only half of the History of mankind." Lerner
The central question asked by women historians is what would history look like if seen through the common eyes of man, she said.
Women's history is totally unwritten and distorted by men, Lerner said.
The new history must be based on the fact that women are one-half of mankind, she said.
Many of the students who enroll in the classical antiquity major began their study of college Latin in Pearson College, academy. Their professor, professor of comparative literature
"For a good grasp of today," he said, "you have to go to the past."
SENIOR SAID THAT about five years ago Pearson offered an elementary class in Latin which was designed to teach Latin as a living language.
"Usually Latin is taught only as it exists in classical texts," Senior said. "Our aim has been to teach Latin as a living, spoken language."
Senior said that enrollment in the Latin program had grown from zero to more than 200 students at present. He said that the number of students in the two or three largest in the United States.
"The teaching of Latin as a language has been declining in the United States since the 1920s," he said. "But the success of our schools is now falling in proportion to such a trend on the local level."
ELIZABETH BANKS, ASSISTANT
department at KU didn't teach modern
Greek or attempt to train students in any
practice application either the Greek or
English.
Banks said that knowledge of the languages could help a student improve personal language use as well as enlarge the student's mind and perspectives.
Wescoe said that the study of classical
languages taught him both precision and diligence.
There IS a difference!!!
"BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, study of a language gave me a method of study," Wieser.

STUDY OF THE CLASSICS remains useful because the ancients can give modern man some idea of why the world is the way it is. Rosen said.
"A study of the classics gives the student a better perspective of the human condition," she said, "because the ancients were about wisdom and principles and personal blases affecting us today."
"Social problems may have been expressed in different ways by the ancients, but conditions have really changed very little."

Join the third biggest family in the world.
Imagine an order of 22,000 priests and brothers in 73 countries around the world. (That’s a pretty big family.)
But that's what the Salesians of St. John Boccalle are all about — a large family of community-minded men dedicated to the task of sharing Jesus' love.
In the 1800's a chance meeting between a poor priest and a street urchin served to create a movement of such success that it is still growing today. Don Boccos became the first toough youth back from the streets — and back to God.
He reasoned that a program of play, learn and pray would make useful citizens of the world. He crowded out evil with reason, religion and kindness in a (what was then unheard of) atmosphere of family spirit.
The ideals of St. John Boce are still with us today. His way is to in on boys clubs, technical and academic school guidance courses for students, including a human approach is very evident in the family spirit of the Salters. It is the way he wanted it. This is the way it is. He wants you to be a good saltier.
