KU Peace Corps Committee Named
Robert A. Swan Jr., Topicka junior, has announced a new 12-member Peace Corps executive committee to "heighten interest" in the Peace Corps program at KU.
Emphasis will be on the University's Corps project in Costa Rica. Swan has been named chairman.
THE COMMITTEE is planning a Peace Corps week, Oct. 29 to Nov. 2. Campus displays, forums and other special events are being discussed.
Swan said Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps program, and Robert Kennedy, attorney-general, have been invited to KU for the Peace Corps week activities.
Clark Coan, assistant to the dean of students and corps campus liaison officer, said:
"The committee will encourage more students to prepare for Peace Corps work abroad as well as plan

events and distribute literature to inform the students about the corps Costa Rican project on our own campus."

THE CORPSMEN will attend special classes 10 hours a day, six days a week. Each volunteer will study Spanish, English, sciences, American studies, world affairs, area studies, physical education, and health.
Thomas M. Gale, assistant professor of history and coordinator of the program said the eight-week training would be "intensive, but with an emphasis on informality during classes."
Gale explained that those volunteers who complete training here will travel to Puerto Rico for further physical and language training. After a brief orientation meeting at the University of Costa Rica in San Jose, the volunteers will begin their work in Costa Rica as teachers and laboratory or library assistants.
KU GRADUATES who will participate in the program are Barbara Richards of Hays, Sara Pringle and

graphic arts and architecture The department of architecture has been part of the School of Engineering since 1927.
The new dormitory under construction will be 10 stories high and will house 656 students. It is due for occupancy in the fall of 1963.
Other construction, not yet begun, includes demolition of Blake, Fraser, Haworth and Robinson Halls. A $720,000 appropriation has been made for the replacement of Blake Hall, beside Fraser. No dates have been set, Vice Chancellor Lawton said, but all are "in the offing". Blake may not come down this spring, he said.
"ENROLLMENTS and need will dictate how that hall will be used," the dormitory office said. "It could be divided for both men and women."
Robinson Gymnasium and Haworth Hall will make way for a large classroom complex which will contain a number of large lecture courses which now meet in Fraser Theater.
Fraser Hall must be replaced before the present structure can be razed. New Fraser will be built on the plot east of Fraser. Fraser will probably not be removed before 1965, Vice Chancellor Lawton said, and probably it will be later than that.
Ruth Rogers of Kansas City, Mo. and Judy G. Harman of Kansas City,
and Judy G. Harman of Kansas City Swan, the KU Corps council chairman, said that his committee will assist the volunteers "in any way" during their stay at the University. The committee plans to place volunteers with families for Thanksgiving dinner and honor the group with a Christmas party.
Swan said that students interested in serving on the committee should telephone him at VI 3-4711.
The project's committee will correspond with Peace Corps volunteers overseas, with KU alumni and other Kansans. The committee also plans to introduce a KU foreign language seminar for prospective Corpsmen and collect items, such as books and clothing, which volunteers abroad may need.
OTHER EXECUTIVE committee members are; Cleve Howard, Wichita senior, vice chairman; Kay Ellen Consolver, Wichita junior, secretary; Arlo Schurle, Green sophomore, treasurer:
John Middleton, Kansas City, Mo. junior, special events; David C. Shellbarger, Topeka sophomore, news media; Jerry L. Harper, Wichita junior, publicity; John J. McCormick, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, distribution; Richard K. Duwe, Lucas junior, research; and David Barrier, Wichita junior, speaker's bureau.
The faculty requirement poses a second problem for school officials.
Enrollment-
(Continued from page 1)
The ratio used in past years is one instructor for each 15 students. Raymond Nichols, vice-chancellor for finances, said KU administrators consider this proportion "adequate" and "roughly in line with other institutions of our caliber."
The national average is one instructor to 12 students. However, Nichols said, "It will be a test for the (state) legislature to maintain this ratio as enrollments increase."
ASKED IF HE predicted any trouble gaining support from the state legislature in financing faculty additions Nichols said:
"I don't anticipate a fight. However, if we have an increase (of students) larger than we have expected, then we would have to carry the responsibility ourselves."
This fall, KU will have 716 full time "equivalents" on the faculty. A staff member who divides his time between teaching and administration is represented in the faculty figure only by a percentage equivalent to the teaching load.
Based on the present formula, 93 positions will have to be added to the faculty to maintain the current ratio by 1965.
There will be an increase of 26 faculty members on the Lawrence campus this year.
THE KU MEDICAL Center in Kansas City, Kansas, also expects a rise in enrollment.
