Instruction and was described as a pilot program to exchange ideas about the nature of teaching.
A panel of representatives from four sectors of the government have viewed their views on the topic of teaching improvements to a specially invited audience at the Institute for Education. Improvements on Tuesday night.
The caucus was sponsored by the Subcommittee on Environment and Conservation of the College Committee on the Evaluation and Advancement of
The four speakers were selected to represent the views of the administration, faculty, alumni and students.
Francis Heller, vice-chancellor of academic affairs, opened his remarks by stating that the barriers between teaching and learning were artificial. There are many people he said, who share both

In the final panel discussion Tuesday of the Student Vote sponsored series, "What is the student vote?" said that in today's highly programmed campaign, an attractive package with competing elements removed neatly presented to the public.
"Speaking on the "Press and the T2 Election," the Calder Pickett, professor of journalism, said the electronic media had altered campaigns by scheduling events one-time periods on television.
"Campaigns are pseudo events," Hamlin said, "but because we are issue oriented, our campaign becomes part of our vital lives."
TELEVISION COVERAGE of campaigns has incorporated several problems. Pickett said. First, there is the television networks' need to compete for Neilson ratings and second, the viewers desire to be entertained. Neilson led to fabrication of stories.
Discussing the press, Pickett said that with the exception of the Lyndon Johnson campaign, there was no significant effort throughout the 20th century. As for the 1972 campaign, Pickett said he thought we'd find publicists like John S. Knight, who worked back to a Republican press.
Donn Parson, professor of economics at the University member, said he thought the primaries worked against the good men campaigning for President.
PARSON'S THEORY on primaries is that a bad primary
HE SAID teaching should not be studied in terms of a process, but in terms of people. Most people, he said, conceive of the world as being based on basic data, relying on terms of their secondary school education.
can fade out a potential candidate, a candidate who starts out as the leader has no place to grow. To be a candidate, voters are committed to a candidate at the time of a primary, there is no guarantee that if a candidate wins a primary, it will also win the nomination.
Today the "wait for New Hampshire" is attitude a fading, Parson said. States see the need to have primaries because of the importance of the state and primaries bring in revenue.
Too often candidates are so much alike that they try to create a mismatch between themselves out of the crowd during the primary campaign.
"The polls show Nixon got tremendous mileage out of the China trip." Parson said.
Usually it is foreign matters and he is an incumbent, Parson said. The president of the domestic level because he can aller the course of war.
Those who receive the money for their research are, almost without exception, those who never shirk teaching and enjoy it.
As for the 1972 campaign, Parson said President Richard Nikom had all the advantages he can direct the news coverage.

Parson suggested that primaries and conventions be scraped and time alloted on television and radio for candidates to confront each other. 80% of attitudes would develop which would help voters to make a choice.
"The present system prevents the voter from making a choice," Parson said.
Frances Horowitz, chairman of the human development and family department. she obtained a degree of student evaluation by grades
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP)-A major earthquake occurred Tuesday about 150 miles southwest of Manila in the Philippines, according to the U.S. Geological Survey on rth quake information Center.
She gave an example of a course within her own business department, she works at his own place, does not have to attend a lecture, takes frequent quizzes with immediate feedback and is expected to meet a competence level of 90 per cent on each unit, succeeding units of the course.
SHE SAID everyone who completed the course received an A for achieving the 90 per cent level throughout the course. This upsets many people, she said, because they ask "if everyone in the course knows how do you know who the good students are?"
The University must abandon its notion of sorting students into educational bins and the relative distribution of competency raised she said. The University has also put graduating mediocre students out
She proposed a system by which each student would determine for himself what he should study and the student would graduate with
excellence in whatever his goal would be if instructors would focus on bringing each student to excellence in each class.
Jess Stewart, a University of Kansas alumnus and a member of the Board of Directors suggested several changes in approach for academic research.
HE SAID the major part of KU'S mission is the education of students at the undergraduate level, and that concerns needs to be changed by the administration, the Board of Regents, the legislature and the president.
Stewart said the administration should focus more "on where the action is and cut out as much of the politics as possible."
For the Board of Regents, Stevens plans for planning with the emphasis on quality teaching and quality budgeting. He said a plan should be based on the steps financed in steps and implemented in an orderly
The plan should set guidelines, he said, to improve the student-faculty ratio, faculty salaries, and teaching assistants and facilities.
Stewart said that the time for handling education problems as the needs arise was gone and the range approaches should be used.
"I BELIEVE the legislature designed programs designed to improve our universities and colleges through expansion of curriculum and research."

He said the correlation between the undergraduate grade point average and graduate school success "is only slightly above."
