Karl D. Edwards, assistant to the dean of the School of Education at UT Austin, would teacher would be assigned to a teacher education center in a location not yet identified.
"The student would not be confined to one school, but would have the opportunity for varied classes." For instance, a suburban school
teacher would observe in an inner-city school for one day and vice-versa with all the other fields available.

These seminars will cover discussions in educational psychology not offered teaching courses but the teacher's own courses these seminars, students will

As treasurer of the Senate, Miller sent request forms last December to every listed student who would be served. We were returned be found in many groups which had never been funded were making requests and that many students were asking for increased allocations.
Washington State will be submitted to the Student Senate Sunday and Monday for a two-months of work by David Miller, student body president and vice president.
Cuts of unnecessary requests by groups were made. Miller then gave $83,850 for the Senate; $27,000 for the University Theatre and $74,000 for the University Daily Theater; and $180,000 for the Athletic department because of an obligation he said he felt after the student fee increase.

general allocations, thus leaving $60,000 to fill the 85 requests from organizations.
His final draft was presented to the Finance and Auditing Committee early this week. The committee will discuss Sunday for student groups that are dissatisfied with their allocations. The committee will compile a budget after the Senate approval of Act 21.
ONE OPTION OPEN to the committee. Miller said, is a cutback in athletic funds to $138,500. This is based on a proposed 12,500 basketball tickets to $7,500 basketball tickets for $6,500 missions totaling $3,500 and minor sports support of $15,000.
"We had trial programs of a full semester student teaching in this course," said Joshua. "Students who participated in this program likened it, and we decided to go."
Miller said the $40,000 difference in allocations could be made up with a two-dollar investment in the cost of football and basketball tickets.
Another option, although less likely, is an $18 charge for tickets and a $15,000 appropriation for minor sports.
Miller said he planned to work on an optional activity fee during the summer. He had his tentative plans were to make an $18 ac-

He said if a group of people arrived before the committee during the scheduled time, other arrangements would be made. Some groups would be called in for meetings and proposed budget allocation during the hearings scheduled for next week. Dillon said. The committee is expected to finish with final recommendations for the end of next week.
Any student group with questions or complaints concerning the proposed budget may be asked by the student body for the hearings. Dillon has asked

Dr. Bill Hambleton, director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said Wednesday he was "greatly encouraged" by prospects that the Atomic Energy Commission would expand its safety studies before beginning with plans for waste to be salted in the salt mines near Lyons.
Survey Head 'Encouraged' By AEC Plan
The geological survey has maintained that safety of the Lyons project had not been established.
Following a two-day technical session in which about 40 students participated, Berton said he still believed that safety questions have not been answered but that "we are much more confident now in outlining a complete program of studies along recommended lines with a series of checkpoints for the course."

"It is proposed that this system will be operating in the Shawnee Mountains, where it is limited extent in Lawrence in the fall, with the possibility of expansion to other districts with teachers involved by the 1972术学."
THE STUDENT teacher would have the opportunity to decide in which program he wanted to participate. The student and his adviser could decide which program was best for him, Haugh said.
In 1948, the University of Kansas School of Education pioneered in the development of full-time, off-campus student teachers and sent student teachers to Atchison, Topeka and Kansas City. Kan
About a dozen AEC scientists attended the meeting to assess heat flow and rock mechanics research at the site.
Until this time, all student teaching had been done in the University High School located on the campus.
The present program, operating in 40 school systems within a 50-mile radius of the city, teaches eight weeks of student teaching and eight weeks of block courses, which are focused on "understanding the school as a social institution." The program is designed for student teaching and eight hours credit for the block courses.

18-Year-Vote Discussed
By CARLA HENDRICKS Kansan Staff Writer
"Pleased" the word many people on campus used to reaction to Tuesday's approval of constitutional amendment lowering the voting age to 18 in state laws. The vote, the margin of approval and uncertainty about the effects of a vote also figured in the reactions.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. expressed surprise at the margin of approval and the questioning of the particularity to note that it was approved in every corner of the nation, and the national press indicated that many states were watching the race — see how the Midwest would react.
"The broad scale effect will probably be very difficult to detect." Chalmers said. Effects of the 18-year-old vote might be more noticeable, however, where concentrations of voters 18 to 21, he said.
Kansans approved the state constitutional amendment by a vote of 240,988 to 145,182, with 2,760 precincts reporting. Apparently reacting to Tuesday's Kansans Representatives, Wednesday ratified the amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would
"I don't see it (the 18-year-old vote) as benefitting either party." Cigler said.
Registered William L. Koryi there were 9,371 KU students between the ages of 18 and 21 who would be affected by the approval statement. The figure is based on statistics from the fall 1970 semester.
Any noticeable large scale effects of the younger voters were discounted by Allan Cigler, acting assistant professor of political science and specialist in American politics. He said that 20 percent of young indicated that they turn out to vote less than older voters.
Earl Nebring, associate professor of political science, concurred in the judgment that no trends would develop as a result of the approval. He said he would add 200,000 voters to be added by the electorate in Kansas by the approval of the amendment.
Many of those 9,371 and their fellow students 21 and over were happy about the outcome of Tuesday's vote.
Taking a practical point of view, Mark Keiley, 22, Independence senator, said the men went the only practical thing or the voters to do. He said many people who objected to the tax reform argued they were for monetary reasons because they didn't want to pay the costs if maintaining two separate state and national elections.
Mary Isenberg, 19, Overland Park freshman, said, "I think it's important to state and local level, if we can on national issues. Most people know as much about their local schools that they do about national elections."
