Departments Plan New Courses
University Daily Kansan
As students "clutch" and "cram" for finals, KU department officials already have planned several new courses for next semester.
Such courses include Spanish Art, offered by the Department of Fine Arts. The course is to include a comprehensive study of the history of Spanish art. Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of art history, will teach the course.
THE SCHOOL of Religion will offer two new courses next semester. Christianity and Modern Thought, deals with the relation of the Christian religion to modern ideas and trends. The Rev. William J. Moore, dean of the School of Religion, said the new course would consist of the "fitting of theology into the totality of human knowledge."
The second course is Ideas and Men in the History of Christian Thought. This course will deal with the men and ideas that have influenced Christianity since the 16th century.
Comparative Journalism, a study of the press of other nations, will be offered by the School of Journalism for the first time. The course will also include a study of the environmental factors which influence
the publication of a paper and the various different concepts which exist in foreign countries.
THE SCHOOL of Education will offer a special course study in the Junior High School. Karl Edwards, professor of education and teacher of the course, said it would include the history and development of the junior high school, the curriculum and the trends, present and future.
The Department of Electrical Engineering will offer High Voltage Engineering, taught by M. S. Hammam, visiting associate professor from Egypt.
The Department of Civil Engineering will offer Water Resources and Administration and Applied Hydrology for the first time next semester. These courses are included in the environmental health section of the Civil Engineering department.
The Department of Sociology is offering a course in the Sociology of Asian Religion next semester. The political science department will introduce National Security Policy, a study of the factors influencing defense policy, including political economic and sociological implications.

ASC Seeks Plane For Trips
Tom Woods, Arkansas City junior and ASC representative to the University Student Travel Board, said the participants in the program will spend two months in Europe. They will be allowed to go wherever they want to go after they get there, he said.
At the meeting, IOTA, which regulates all overseas air travel and prices, revised prices upward and changed various other regulations, Woods said. These new regulations will not affect KU's prices, however. "The plane trip will be cheaper than offered by anyone else, and it will be open to everybody." Woods said. There will be 164 seats on the plane.
Woods said efforts to get the plane have been hampered by the recent meeting of the International Organization of Transporters by Air (IOTA) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Woods said there is a possibility
Student Union Activities may provide chartered bus service to the point of departure, either Chicago or New York, from Kansas City.

Marvin First American Elected President of International Club
Internationally-minded Charles Marvin will be the first American president of the International Club.
Marvin, Lawrence senior who was elected Saturday, is promoting an infusion of interest in the club from American, European and Latin American students.
"Over half of our members are Americans," Marvin said, "but very few of them are active in the club's affairs."
MARVIN HAS belonged to the International Club for the past three years, but his interest in world affairs does not stop there.
At KU, Marvin was a member of the steering committee of last year's Model UN and a subcommittee chairman of People-to-People's membership committee.
In 1961, Marvin taught English in Iran while his father, Burton Marvin, dean of the KU School of Journalism, participated in a Fulbright exchange program there.
ship to change hands geographically."
Marvin said his election is a step away from past control of the International Club by African and Asian students.
"FOR THE past several semesters, the Africans and Asians, because of the number enrolled here, have controlled the club," he said. "In some ways, this has tended to harm it in terms of public relations and attendance. It's good for the leader-
Marvin has plans for the International Club to devote at least three of its meetings next semester to cultural programs in which foreign students can present things of cultural interest in their countries.
"I also want the club to have some parties," Marvin said. "This shouldn't be underemphasized either."
He added that he will keep office hours in the club's Kansas Union office for the benefit of members.
Students, Faculty To Attend Seminar
Twenty-two students and faculty from KU will attend the meetings of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America in Miami, Fla. January 23-27.
