Vern Miller Offers Help To Swindled
TOPEKA (Staff)—Kansas Atty. Gern. Venn Hill has asked persons who may have been swindled by "The Speed Reading Academy of Louisiana" to **Protection Division** in his office.
Miller said the fraud was perpetrated in a number of Kansas cities where colleges are located during the months of spring when students are. He said that College and high school instructors, hired through newspaper ads, acted as recruiters for the firm. He said no one knew about them. enrollment fees were collected and the organizers disappeared.
Miller said the firm's managers had indicated through the meetings they might refund the money which were taken by the recruiters.
The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), with two of its five members dissenting in part, authorized an immediate 6 per cent hike in coach fares and gave tentative approval for an additional 3 per cent buildup in 50 days of objections were filed before them.
CAB Chairman, Secor D. Browne estimated that the two-step increase work bring the total cost of the year in additional revenues and might be as much as $400 if traffic passenger was heavy.
The rise in coach fares means first class, military and youth fares will go up automatically as well all since are tied together under a formula. First-class prices are 130 per cent of those second-class prices. Youth fares 50 per cent and youth fares two-thirds of the coach price
For example, the present Detroit to Miami coach fare will go up from $81 to $86, the Atlanta to Memphis fare will rise from $34 and the Indianapolis to Washington will climb from $44 to $54.
The higher ticket prices are required to arrive three weeks. The airlines are required to give 21 days notice of affixing their new prices with the airline.
The board's decision was the first stage of an intense investigation into the airline fare structure.
Watkins Will Be Used For Classrooms, Offices
Although Watkins Memorial Hospital has become obsolete as the student health facility, its usefulness as a campus facility is limited. The school's Lawton, director of planning and operations, said Saturday.
Such plans have already located the new geological survey
Using Watkins Hospital for classrooms and offices stems from a campus master plan that is designed to meet those that are pre-empting space or buildings which are in need of staff. The plans are directed toward teaching an increasing student body in the same close-knit
the KU Commission on the Status of Women, KU was the first university to permit women to attend and thereby determine their curfews.
KU was among the few universities which had no differential regulations for men and women, she said. She pointed out that KU women were leaders in the industry, which is a map of which they were members.
After the student health service moves to the new hospital, the vacant building will be adapted for small classrooms and faculty labs. Lawn said. The move is expected in the next two three years.
Watkins Hospital, built in 1930, is structurally in excellent condition and is located by its site and its shape limits the possibility of remodeling. Lawton Hospital, built in 1926, was built it was one of the finest hospitals in the country, but students need needs have shifted to hospital to an out-patient clinic.
The new hospital will be primarily an out-patient clinic and will have a smaller bed for patients who are longer receiving and waiting space.
Despite this progress, she said she did not think that most KU women let their children returning adults." Nine out of ten women will work outside of the home she said, and 25 out of them will work with the amount of education."

Lawton said the site for the new hospital, southeast of Robinson Gymnasium, was chosen because the hospital expandable and accessible.
"YET ANY WOMEN leave," she said, "never having looked beyond the next few years of their lives."
As freshman, she said KU women arrived "thoroughly indentedate with traditional aspirations and college aspirations. College women need encouragement and confidence." This could be provided, she said, through the programs of the institution and the assistance of the faculty.
"It could make a true choice of lifestyles a reality for all people," she said.
Other awards were presented to women students who had made a contribution to the University, and to the outstanding women of the University.
Newly initiated members of Mortar board, a senior women's honorary group, and of Cwens, a honorary group, were announced.

A plan to change the grading system to A-B-C-NO Credit for students in University Kansas. The plan will be presented at University Council last Thursday. The plan represented nearly six months of discussion and research by the council's academic Policies and Procedures.
"I object to the fact that the decision was based on conjecture rather than on specific information," he said. He said that the real issue was trying to understand the complexity of grading, and that any concerns about the proposed solution were with before putting it into effect.
At three open hearings, held to study grading, there was general agreement about the need for a curriculum of academic performance.
According to a report by the Committee on Perspectives on Grading, students contribute information about the mechanics related to any change in grading and the problem with grading. The University insofar as such administration relates to the grading of student performance.
JOHN McNEWN, professor of civil engineering and committee chairperson at the university was designed as a trial run that would reveal any defects in the system.
Procedures, said, "We were concerned that too many people have their own view about grading." He said that those who opposed the proposal based their personal views instead of data.
He said he thought the plan was rejected either because it was too conservative or because it represented unwanted change.
McNewn predicted that the concept of No Credit replacing D and F would return. He said the plan represented a direction that he thought was right.
A-B-C-No Credit System Voted Down by Council
THE COUNCIL rejected the grading plan, which was to be tried on sophomores in the fall, and apparently partly because members said the experiment would not be valid. Herman Lulan, associate professor of mathematics at chairman of the Committee of Academic Policies and

Jan Roskam, professor of aerospace engineering, who opposed the plan said, "I don't like the present grading system, but I have yet to see a better experiment. A previous experiment would not proved anything. He said he favored an experiment that would compare several different grading systems simultaneously, to a decimal system in which students would be graded on a one to ten scale.
