KU Program Aimed at City's Poor
By DON LEVY
A program "based on the Tupperware party idea" will attempt to bring parts of the University of Kansas into the living rooms of poor women in Lawrence.
Kansas Staff Reporter
A Tupperware party uses the warm atmosphere of a group of friends meeting in a family living room to sell merchandise. The KU program will use the same atmosphere to provide education tailored to the needs of low-income families.
The goal of the lessons is to make housekeeping and childrearing easier and more fulfilling and to lay a foundation for the time, if it comes, when the women want to find careers or interests outside the home.
DISCUSSIONS will be led by experts in such fields as career opportunities, consumer protection, health care, selfawareness, group awareness and community and University cultural and recreational sources.
The program is being developed by the Institute of Public Affairs and Community Development, a branch of the Division of Continuing Education.
The institute is responsible for involving KU with problems in Kansas communities. For example, it runs a Topeka program for minority groups.
The Lawrence program, "Personal,
Career and Community Re-Orientation
Program for House-Bound, Low-Income
Women in Douglas County," is scheduled to
begin this summer and on a trial basis
for one year.
THE PROGRAM IS intended to reach about 100 women in East and North Lawrence, the two primary concentrations of low-income families in Lawrence.
Two KU Teams Go to National Debate Tourney
The teams of Joel Goldman, Prairie Village senior, and Bill Webster, Carthage, Mo., junior; and Lym Goodnight, Houston, Tex., senior, and Charles Whiteman, Atlantic, Iowa, sophomore, qualified for the tournament.
Two debate teams will represent the University of Kansas in the 28th National Basketball Association game.
Mele Koneya, director of the program and associate director of the Institute of Public Affairs, said he hoped to soon hire a person as program director familiar with the problems of low-income housewives in lawrence.
Only 60 teams out of about 200 in the nation qualified for the tournament, which is scheduled from April 19 to 22 at the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs.
Goldman and Webster won first place at Northwestern out of a 120-t team field, and also first place at Wyoming. They placed second in both fields and teams at U.SC and at UNSC, out of 84 teams.
Goodnight and Whiteman, besides placing third at the district competition, placed fourth in tournaments at USC, Nebraska and Wichita State.
Head debate coach Donn Parson, professor of speech and drama, said that he is optimistic about the teams' chances to do well. He said that some of the better teams in the tournament were Narvard, North Carolina, USC and UCLA.
At the same time Koneya will be setting up an advisory committee to develop final plans.
Koreya said the concept for the program evolved during consultations with such local leaders as Mr. Chung and Dr. Lee Center; a privately-financed self-help center; Headstart; a supplemental educational program for low-income children, and Penn House, another self-help center.
Financing, for the project will comprise approximately $7,000 from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) and approximately $4,000 from KU and the state, according to Korea.
This year's national collegiate debate topic is, "Resolved: that the federal government should control the supply and utilization of energy."
HEW FUNDS are available through Title 1 of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
According to Koneya, the federal funds are intended to be used primarily for the construction of buildings.
"Title I program are not social, per se; the intent is to get institutions of higher education involved in the community problems," he said.
"The object is to learn—to learn through our successes or failures."

has been approved by the State Education Commission, listed several benefits that it provides to students.
Departments and schools would be able to field test their educational expertise, Continuing Education would have a living education format, which involves an education format, an important concept in the chancellor's Outreach program, and the use of a computer to duplicate the program in other cities.
IN ADDITION to the academic benefits linked in the proposal, Koneys said KU has invested in a new computer system.
proved relations between the University and the community.
He said the program would use instructors from KU and Lawrence.
Kouneya he planned to contact the School of Social Welfare, the department of human development and the human sciences of the department of speech and drama.
Several governmental organizations, such as the Lawrence Housing Authority and the Douglas County Extension Service, have provided instructors for the program, he said.
University-Community Service Scholarship/Award
As a result of the efforts of many students on the evening of April 20, 1970 in the saving of furniture, art objects and invaluable service to firefighters during the Kansas Union fire, some insurance carriers decided to present to the Kansas Union a gift in the amount of $5,000. After presentation of the gift, it was suggested that the Student Union Activities Board seek those students deserving of being awarded scholarship/awards from the gift.
Qualifications
- Service to the University and/or the Lawrence community.
- Regularly enrolled students at the University of Kansas at the time of application (spring term) and at the time of the receipt of the award (fall term).
- Scholarship, financial need and references will be of minimal consideration in application reviews.
