Page 7

The meetings in the Kansas Union were only part of a full-day of discussion scheduled for the 14th annual Principal-Counselor-Freshmen Conference here.

AT ONE OF the meetings, a disagreement developed between panelists James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, and George B. Smith, vice-chancellor, about enrollment in freshmen English classes.
Smith presented statistics for "drop-outs" for the 1962 fall semester. Out of 7,684 students enrolled on the Lawrence campus, 868 students dropped out of school. The figures did not include graduate, medical, law, or special students.
EMILY TAYLOR, dean of women, and the third panelist said that student problems vary from group social problems to personal family conflicts.
"The student's adjustment depends on the individual." Dean Taylor explained. "Some put out their social feelers right away and start having dates. Others can't even get along with their roommate.
"Parents may have ambitions for their children that the children themselves don't have."
The high school officials spent the afternoon in conferences with KU freshmen. During the visits, the freshmen filled out KU questionnaires which the principals returned to Hitt at a final general meeting at 3:30.
