Craig outlines years projects promises national politicos at KU
National politicians, a new Peace Corps committee, and a student internship program are Kyle Craig's initial selling points for student government this year.
Craig, Joplin, Mo., junior and student body president, says he's "concerned" about lack of student identification with student government.
He explains that students should be acquainted with the value of student government
$23,458 to KU Therapy Dept.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Administration has awarded $23,-458 to KU's occupational therapy department. Leland Miller, professor and chairman of the department, plans to use it in support of a full-time faculty member, to purchase teaching equipment, and to provide financial support for needy students.
Miller said the reason for extensive aid program is a critical national shortage of occupational therapists. The undergraduate curriculum is emphasized, he explained, because a master's or Ph.D. degree is not needed to secure top positions in the field.
through programs and activities.
"By originating these activities," Craig says, "student government hopes to gain a little more esteem from the student."
Promises prominent speakers
Craig says an improved speaker's program would bring "two or three" nationally prominent politicians to KU.
If we give the student a chance to participate in these programs, Craig adds, he also will be participating in student government.
A new Peace Corps committee will be established this fall to inform, interest, and involve the student in the Peace Corps or its program.
Working with dean
Craig is working with Francis Heller, associate dean of faculties, to organize a new student internship program. Under the program, a student would serve as an intern to a KU administrator.
"The program would not mean a student intern would be doing busy legwork," Craig says, "but he would be taking active part in working on problems that arise."
Another value of this program, he says, stems from the working relationship between students and administrators.
"A lot of student needs and interests can best be handled by students working with the deans and administrators—it also would be quite an honor to the student," Craig says.
"Above all, we want students to realize that these programs are coming from student government," he says.
Wants program credit
The political overtones in student government must be removed, he believes.
"I don't want a student to think he has to be politically oriented to be active in student government."
Craig says he wants more "down-to-earth" people to take an active interest in student government.
