Students Sample KU Life in Transition Program
A total of 27 students participating in the first two-week session of "Transition Summer Session" 74" are living in Joseph R. Pearson Hall and attending classes June 1-14 that are especially designed to acquaint them with college life.
The new program is an attempt by the University to acquaint inoming freshmen with a university atmosphere and to prepare them to be students.
According to James Roser, associate vice-chancellor for academic affairs, filers
were sent to as marry as 6,000 students who expressed an interest in attending KU.
"A program like this one gives us an opportunity to do some of the kinds of things other universities are doing," Rosser said. "If KU is to continue to attract the kind of student it has in the past, some non-traditional of recruiting are going to be necessary."
Rösser said the program was an "opportunity for students to become acquainted with new methods."

Three classes, each worth one hour of credit, are being offered during the two-week period.
"The Social Animal," a course designed to introduce a broad area of the social sciences, is taught in both sessions by C. K. Robinson, assistant professor of psychology.

After one week of the session, student reactions to the program were mixed. Some thought that the classroom sessions of six hours a day were too demanding.
Bricker, in response to this criticism, said that one of the important aspects of the transition program was to let students see what it is to mean anything, it won't be can play.
The meters weren't installed to make money, Forenasterm said, though they were not.
The meters were installed as a convenience for students, according to L. E. W. Fenstemaker of the Parking and Security division of Traffic and Security. Students may now stop in loading zones for short periods of time, ranging from 20 to 50 minutes for a dime, instead of risking a $5 parking fine for illegal parking.

"Comparatively little is expected of most high school students. Consequently they are not prepared for the demands of college," Bricker said.
Many students said the session had helped to complete their decisions about attending college, as well as to give them insights into the problems that face face college students.

Cark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry, said, "The idea, of course, has tremendous merit. If students can be saved the traumatic experience that many students go through during their first semester of work, then this is certainly worthwhile."

A CASTLE IN LAWRENCE?
Probably few know the legend of the enchanting Castle Tea Room that reigns compulsively on Massachusetts Street.
The Coute was built in 1894 as a funeral for J. N. Roberts, a retired Civil War general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patented wooden containers carved in the wood of the Louvre.
There are five beautiful fireplaces in the house, each a unique design with various colored marble and brick. The original dining room is very ornate with an unusual built-in sideboard and a chic cloak. A recycle bin of mirrors and stained glass window above the fireplace gives the effect of an altar in a chapel.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is furnished in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently in use are elegantly finished in birch, cherry, oak, walnut and sycamore pine. The weaving room was all done by hand by Sudey Endicott of England, a brother of Frank Lloyd Wright. It is furnished with sculpture and artist, and some of his work is in the drawing room of the Lost Hollow home.
The tower, which gives the oak decor appearance, has a stairway leading to the third floor. Above the tower room is a old garden window, in ivy bloom days, was shaded with windows and used during the summer months. The ballroom with spacious window seats on the third floor is available for private parties.
If you have never been inside the Castle Tea Room, come and dine in the only restaurant lawrence with such a beautiful historical and cultural background. The only way to really enjoy it is to walk around the castle and eat some of its most special dishes.
The Most Unique Restaurant in Lawrence 1307 Mass.

Batson said it was too early to know
whether "Transition Summer Session" "74"
would become a standard KU program.
"The proof of the pudding will be seen in the fall. The value of the program to the students probably will not come through until around December," he said.
