Practice Lengthened For Student Teachers
The School of Education will initiate a program this fall to extend its eight-week student teaching block into a 16-week Professional Semester, according to I. N. Bowman, professor of education and student teaching coordinator.

This sixteen week program was used on an experimental basis in the Lawrence and Shawne Mission during the past five years. The school intends to expand it in the future
as a requirement for all education students.
Multi-Institution - Teacher's Education-Center, as the project is called, involves approximately 200 students from both elementary and secondary teaching levels at Kendall County State University, Kansas State Teacher's College at Emporia and Pittsburg State Teacher's College. The semester block is good for 16 hours of credit and fulfills state certification requirements for student attending the School as a Social Institution.
KU initiated the 16-week program on an experimental basis several years ago in an attempt to bridge a breakdown between theory taught in the classroom and the actual practical experience needed to be a proficient teacher.

"They were involved in the planning of the program, and for the most part cooperating teachers consider it an asset having a student teacher for a whole semester. The student teacher has the ability to provide an effective resource person." Cormack said.

It is hoped that the students can get a more realistic picture of the public schools in their own environment. The student teachers are invited to attend all school meetings as well as to get acquainted with any special programs within the district.
In addition to the other activities, students during the course of the semester pursue self-directed activities such as attending student activities like student council meetings or speech and debate tournaments. Or, students may attend board meetings or work on faculty committees. In order to understand the importance of the students in their district by making home visits or studying personal records.

The success or failure of the program will be determined by the results of future studies to see whether the student teachers actually are better prepared to enter a teaching position for the first time.

Cormack reacted enthusiastically to the semester program.

His remarks came four days after the United States rejected a Communist request to resume the peace talks. They were indefinitely suspended May 4 when the U.S. side charged the Communists with failing to negotiate seriously.
IT WAS PRESUMED that Podgorym may have succeeded in getting Hanoi to agree to U.S. terms for reopening the talks. Reports from Paris last week said that Podgorym would be a return to Paris of the chief Vietnamese delegate, Xuan Thuy.

THE ONLY announced purpose of Kissinger's trip is to have "concrete evidence that we can further the normalization of relations between the Peoples Republic of China and the United States and continue the exchange of views on issues of common interest."
But it is considered likely the war in Vietnam will be discussed.
Holding a rare new conference, the 69-year-old Soviet leader appeared happy and euplenient over his trip to Hanoi, which had been linked by diplomats in Moscow with President Nixon's summit talks in the Soviet capital last month.
PODGORNY described Hanoi, around which the United States had called off bombing attacks during his visit, as "quite safe."
BURGER LET STAND the temporary restraining order issued by the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
A SPOKESMAN for the U.S. Air Line Pilots Association said there had been no talk of any taking by the pilots but did it matter, as some pilots might picket on their own.
ALPA announced late Sunday the strike was on an imminent injunction against U.S. policy in Iraq.
"There is no way under our control that we can roll back the suspension of service tomorrow," said ALPA. "We expect the overwhelming majority of pilots and flight attendants not only in the United States but around the world to participate."
"It is on," said a statement issued by ALPA a few hours after Chief Justice Warren E. Burger refused to overturn a case of fraud from taking part in the work stoppage.
The International Federation of Air Line Pilots Associates has scheduled a one-day shutdown of air services starting at 1 a.m. CDT today to dramatize a protest by pilots and other consider inadequate international cooperation in stopping aerial piracy and extortion.
A U.S. District Court in Washington refused Saturday to halt the strike but the three-judge circuit court ruled 2 to 1 and circuit and its members could not strike Monday.
The ALPA president, Capt. John J. O'Donnell, had said earlier Sunday that he
THE DECISION of the circuit court, and Burger's refusal to overturn that decision, had no effect on foreign pilots or airlines who had indicated they would obey the strike call of international president Ola Forsberg.
THE INTERNATIONAL stoppage could affect 31,000 U.S. pilots and 50,000 worldwide and up to a million travelers, and cost airlines millions in lost revenues.
But even before the U.S. court rulings Sunday, effectiveness of the plan was in doubt. The panel agreed to the voluntary refusals of many pilots and of some nations to join the demonstration. Delta Airlines, for example, announced that it had agreed to abide by the court decisions.
"A court order not withstanding, in my opinion service tomorrow will be curled."
Raids Above 20th Parallel Resumed
SAIGON (AP)—American fighter-bombers resumed attacks today in North Vietnam's heartland above the 20th Parallel after a four-day suspension V. the Soviet President Nikolai Vi. Podgorny to Hanoi, U.S. military sources disclosed.
Below the demilitarized zone, nearly 3,000 South Vietnamese marines battled the North Vietnamese in enemy-held Quang Tri Province.
In Saigon, President Nguyen Van Thieu announced a three-month campaign to regain all territory lost to Hanoi's spring offensive.
"We're back to normal," one source said of the new strikes.
We're back north of the 20th parallel.
We'd need to detail specific targets or specific locations.
From last Thursday through Sunday, American bombers had stayed well below Hanoi, concentrating more than 1,000 and the southern half of North Vietnam.
The marines, backed by U.S. air and naval forces, killed 110 enemy troops Sunday during the Quang Tri drive, the Saigon command reported. Government losses were listed as six killed and 25 wounded.
The suspension was put into effect to avoid any incidents with the Soviet Union, and to prevent the Russian invasion.
"Today I start a new campaign for the next three months to rise up and reoccupy our territory and to chase the enemy out of our country forever.
THEU, IN A radio address on South Vietnam's Armed Forces Day, said:
"After three months, the Communists are being bogged down here. The more troops they bring to the South, the more they face a serious problem of lacking supplies...They are bogged down because they start so many fronts."
Thieu said territory was abandoned earlier in the offensive "because we
wanted to save lines," and added that the temporary loss of Quang Tri Province "doesn't mean that we lose our entire country."
HE SAID the South Vietnamese were holding at Kostum on the central front and in the western outskirts of Saigon.
On Sunday, the marines were spearheaded by an armored column that advanced three miles north of the defense line at My Chanh.
My Chanh is 28 miles north of Hue. It was the fifth drive into the North Vietnamese- held region in a little more than a month. Quang Tri, South Vietnam's northernmost province, held army troops May 1, after the invaded across the demilitarized zone.
THE NEW South Vietnamese sweep was preceded by a 6,000-round barrage from the US Army's B52 strikes. The bombers dropped 300 tons of explosives on the sector east of Highway 1 controlled by the North Vietnam soldiers fired at position 478.
One U.S. light observation helicopter was shot down supporting the South Vietnamese drive and two other aircraft by bomber fire, but there were no American casualties.
for the fourth successive day, U.S. fighter-bombers stayed well south of Hanov and Genoa below the 20th century bombing campaign against North Vietnam.
INFORMANTS SAID the suspension was due to the visit to the Communist Capital of Kherson, president Nikolai Podgorny, ended his visit Sunday and flew home.
U. S. military sources here said they did not know how long the suspension of American bombing in the Hanoi-Haiphong region would continue.
Reporting on Saturday's air action, the U.S. Command said Air Force, Navy and Marine fighter-bombers flew more than 300 strikes over North Vietnam. This includes a number of bombs flown over the southeastern coast of North Vietnam in the past three days, one of the heaviest periods of air attacks since the resumption of the bombing April 6.
Bernadette Asks IRA Ceasefire
BELLAST (AP)—Civil rights leader
Bernadette DeVlin asked Irish Republican
Army militants Sunday to stop the
bombing in Northern Ireland for seven days.
Hours later, a booby trap bomb near Lurgan, County Armagh, killed two British soldiers and badly injured three, the British army reported.
Devlin said in an interview over the Irish state radio that she was not asking the militant Provisional wing of the outlawed IRA to halt all opposition to British rule.
The bomb was planted in a house the soldiers were searching. The death toll in nearly 34 months of strife in Ulster now stands at 371.
But during a temporary truce the IRA could present its demands to William Whitale, Britain's administrator in the troubled six counties, she said.
Her call came amid reports of a split between leaders of the Provisionalists, the latter of whom had been charged with the

The Officials called a 28-day truce to violence last month in response to a growing chorus of appeals from Roman Catholics in Belfast and Londonderry.
Differences between the two wings were pointed up in interviews with their two co-workers. One published Sunday, "On Our Knees," by 24-year-old Irish journalist, Rosita Sweetman. The two interviewed were Macaulay Goulding, chief of staff of the Officials.
MacStifain told the battle was between the ruling Protestant establishment in New York and the Catholic Church, said the issue was a class struggle between the upper and lower classes.
