Education Majors to Try New Plan
BY LORAINE DUVAL VALDEZ
Kenson Staff Writer
The School of Education at the University of Kansas will start an experimental program next fall that will provide education students early and continuous contact with children in a classroom situation.
The program will provide an alternative education program for 100 KU education students, according to Evelyn Swartz, professor of education and chairman of the committee created to develop the new program.
The program is based on the competence of the student-teacher in certain phases or units of instruction. Swartz said. A large part of the program includes field experience. Although the amount of time in the field has not been determined, it will be generally more than the present amount, according to Swartz.
An additional part of the program will be self-pacing, Swartz said. The student will be able to learn these units of instruction at an individual speed. There will be no requirement on the amount of time a student is given to complete instruction.
SWARTZ SAID students in the new program would be assigned to a public
school for teaching experience at the beginning of their education.
*Students will have sequential experience in the field culminating in student-teacher-experience.
"There is more of a program approach instruction in Houston," she said. "Ourts will have alternative modes that will fit the individual."
The program, which was patterned after programs in other colleges and universities, is similar to one at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the years, she said, that there were differences.
Howard Klink, Chicago sophomore, and the only undergraduate member of the committee, said the initial purpose of the committee was to provide innovation and training in school. But, according to Klink, the new program is more structured than the present one.
"THE ALTERNATIVE teacher education program is part of an educational trend that is sweeping educational institutions," Klink said. "There are two ways of looking at it. First, it can be a program of student involvement, or it can be a faculty controlled program without any student participation. The program at KU has no student input at all."
Klink said the program was set up in units or modulars. These consist of academics.
Seniors to Donate Portrait
An oil portrait of former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. and a plaque commemorating the University of Kansas alumni and students killed in the Vietnam War. A senior class, also a senior class, class to John Hackney, Wichita senior and class president.
The decision was made Friday by Hackney and Scott Thompson, Prairie Village senior and chairman of the gift committee.
Thompson said that Chalmers had been contacted and was "very thrilled."
The artist who traditionally paints chancellors' portraits for the University is retired, so Chalmers will pick his own art, Hackney said. The Endowment Association will decide where to hang the portrait.
Hackney said the memory plaque will be placed in the Kansas Union or will
"We've considered placing it on a boulder by the Camanile," he said.
The senior class had about $3,100 to spend on the gift, $2,000 of which came from proceeds from the Alice Cooper concert and concert at the MTV Awards. The concert last fall, according to Hackney.
Senior class card holders voted on the gift at the regalia party last October. Hackney said that the portrait won by a large margin. Other gift ideas considered were an outdoor fountain, exterior landscape, campus entrance markers and a memorial to James Nismith, the originator of basketball.
Financial Scandals Is Colloquium Topic
Stopping financial scandals in the world is the focus of Accounting Colloquium III, sponsored by the Arthur Young professorship of the School of Business.
The colloquium, scheduled for Thursday and Friday, is the third colloquium sponsored by the University of Minnesota.
John Burton, chief accountant of the Security Exchange Commission, is one of 12 professors and practitioners scheduled to address the meeting.
teaching experience, independent study and other subjects. According to Klink, the student would face certain requirements set up by instructors for each unit. In order to proceed to the next unit, the student must satisfy these requirements.
Top researchers, professors and practitioners from the United States, Canada and other countries.
"FOR THIS REASON," he said, "I have strong reservations about the program. It is too tightly controlled by the instructors. Students thinking of going into this thing should know the facts before they make up their minds."
According to Klink, self-facing by the student in the program is the only student who can be a leader.
"It is a more complex program than the present. It could be a step backwards for you."
Archives to Receive 'Activities' Collection
By BILL CAMPBELL Kansan Staff Writer
This year the University of Kansas archives will receive an unusual gift—a collection of articles, films, records and photographs about extracurricular student activity. The collection was prepared by two KU seniors.
Tuck Duncan, Wilmette, Ill., senior, and Bill O'Neill, Ballinw, Mo., senior, who have been active in student government and extracurricular activities, have been collecting material on student activities since they were freshmen.
Presently there is no record of this kind in the archives. All other materials on student activities, according to O'Neill, have been taken from memoirs 20 or 30 years after graduation.
O'Neill said the purpose of the collection was to provide a record of a generation of students who had been through a "paraprofessional" program, prepared while they were still students.
The collection, which O'Neill said was started for reference purposes to aid in his work as a student senator and which Duncan said was started because he was a "ferret and a pack rat," has grown to where it now fills several large filing cabinets.
O'Neill said that in addition to his and Duncan's personal collections, there was material left by 1971 and 1972 graduates and students. Student Records and minutes.
"The job now," he said, "is to sort
the records, he said, what's
to be donated to the archives.
Duncan said the first step he would to make an outline of what should be included
"After that," said Duncan, "we'll send out an appeal to other students to donate material they have collected. Our collection is not complete by any sense of the word."
Material collected by Duncan and O'Neill includes:
- A complete record of the student active fee since its management was taken over
- A detailed account of the student's
A copy of almost every handout and bulletin that appeared during the Week of April 10, 2015.
Material that appeared in reaction to AVII on Kersilver's Lawrence drug research in July 1978.
One of only 100 existing copies of the Brown Report, a 490 page report prepared by the students of Brown University in Providence, R.I., that completely restructured the undergraduate curriculum at Brown.
- Minutes and records of the Student Senate, Senate Committees, SUA and other administrative organizations students have served in.
Duncan and O'Neill said they thought the collection was important because it represented records prepared by students who have taken courses in the method of particularly intense student activism.
O'Neill said the collection wasn't so much concerned with how students got power, but with what they did with the power once it was obtained.
Some areas that should be included in the archives collection, O'Nell said, are the Student Senate, organized living groups, traditional social activities sponsored by the SUU Week of Alternatives and the student community upon the city of Lawrence.
Both Duncan and O'Neill they hoped that their collection would not become merely an interesting record covering four years at KU, but rather that their collection would form the base of a growing student activities section in the University archive.
*Hopefully, student activity will acquire a need for an outside student activity environment.*
There is a resource chairman in the Student Senate, said O'Neill, whose responsibility is to keep senate files in order. Possibly one of the chairman's dutes in order to ensure the administration and addition of new material to the archives collection, he said.
A University of Kansas senior has had a print accepted in the Philadelphia Print Club. She is Donna Cornish Feinberg of the department of painting and sculpture.
