UMKC professor lectures here today
The speaker, Ronald D. Jones, is an associate professor of administration at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. The lecture will be sponsored by the Computation Center Distinguished Lecturer series.
Computer leasing and the use of data banks will be the topics of a lecture at 3:30 p.m. today in Room 311 Summerfield.
Jones has done research for North American Aviation and the RAND Co., where we worked in military operations research developing techniques for computer analysis of data for use on such projects as determining the effectiveness of tactical aircraft.
In the abstract for his talk, Jones said data and computer service's "improvised information system" conveys the possibility of assembling the services as an impromptu information system for specific analytic tasks. The system would have particular value for infrequent or experimental tasks, he added.
Jones said the possibility of these services in the near future is seen in the growing computerization of the direct mail list industry and the availability of time-sharing rental computer resources.
Placement committee will meet tonight
The Job Placement Committee of the People-to-People club will hold an orientation meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas Union Javahawk Room.
In addition to earning money,
foreign students working in the United States during the summer can gain on-the-job experience in their career fields, meet American people, and see American life from a different viewpoint than the campus, said Jerry Ninginger, Hutchison sophomore and committee chairman.
Psychologist will speak in Myers series
"Religion and the Social Sciences" is the topic of a lecture comparing the two at 7:30 p.m. today in the University Theatre by a Menninger Foundation psychologist and faculty member.
Dr. Gardner Murphy's lecture will be the fourth of a series marking the dedication of Myers Hall, new home of the Kansas School of Religion.
William J. Moore, dean of the school, noted Murphy's "reputation as an outstanding public speaker." He anticipates the lecture by Murphy showing the relationship of religious and sociological studies.
The dedication series began Oct. 8 with a statement of its theme, "Telligion and Higher Education," by James Moudy, chancellor of Texas Christian University, Fort Worth.
Chilean to speak on modern plays
Nathan A. Scott, Jr., professor of the divinity school at the University of Chicago, followed Oct. 17 with "Religion and the Humanities." Oct. 29, Father Ernan McMullin, head of the department of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, spoke on "Religion and Natural Science."
This lecture is part of KU's Theatre Research Colloquia.
"Ideological Trends in American Avant-Garde Drama" will be the subject of a talk by Enrique Sandoval, Fulbright research scholar from the University of Chile, at 3:30 p.m. today in 341 Murphy Hall.
Sandoval will be in the United States until spring, and will tour the University of Minnesota, Tulane and the University of New Orleans.
Religion school receives part of $20,000 grant
The Kansas School of Religion is one of seven institutions sharing a $20,000 grant from the Charles E. Merrill Trust.
Administered through the Jewish Chautauqua Society, the grant is used, in part, to pay the salary of Rabbi Myron M. Meyer of St. Joseph, Mo., who is a lecturer in the school.
The Jewish Chautauqua Society
assigns rabbis to lecture at colleges and universities and at Christian church summer camps. It also assists in placing Jewish reference books in college libraries.
The Merrill Trust was established by the late head of one of the nation's largest stock brokerage firms and co-founder of Safeway Stores, Inc.
