KU Law Enrollment Rises 18 Per Cent
Increased enrollment, private support, and new areas of emphasis in the University of Kansas School of Law curriculum are among the changes noted in Dean James K. Logan's recently published annual dean's report.
Enrollment during 1962-63 rose 18 per cent to a 166 total in the School of Law. The entering first year class represented a 40 per cent increase from the previous year, even though admission standards were tightened.
Private support, 16,000 plus, was almost ten times greater than it was a year ago, although the need for scholarship funds and (eventually) loan funds is still great, the article said.
A COMMITTEE for a Greater Law School has recently been established for those alumni and friends who contribute $200 or more each year to the School of Law scholarship fund. Already twelve persons have joined the committee.
Among his plans to revive the existing curriculum, Dean Logan cited increased development of courses for special needs in two types of legal careers—specialized, usually business-oriented ("Wall Street" type), and the general practice, usually smaller community ("Main Street" type).
MORE THAN 30 major and minor curriculum changes have been made during the past year.
In addition, the School of Law has recently received permission to establish its own grading system. It will now include a C+ grade which will carry 1.5 grade points as a step between the C (1 point) and B (2 point) grades.
In informal cooperation with the Menninger Foundation in Topeka the school has begun to explore problems common to law and psychiatry. Professors are "exchanged" on a commuting basis to lend professional insight to related areas of study.
Dean Logan singled out two examples where the school might gain national prominence: criminal law and family law. A variety of reasons for this are apparent in the need for work in these fields, KU faculty experts in the fields, student interest here, the willingness of Kansas to improve its laws in these areas, and the school's proximity to the prisons at Leavenworth and Lansing and the Menninger Foundation facilities in psychiatry and social work.
That's a big order from Pittacus! But your opportunity in a career may be less obscure than you realize.
If you have initiative and imagination, you should investigate the opportunities in life insurance sales and sales management.
Take the time now to phone, or stop by and talk with the head of our college unit about the advantages of being in the life insurance business.

The "talkathon" between Margaret Hashinger and Joseph R. Pearson halls, which was interrupted for an hour and 10 minutes Oct. 30, reached a total elapsed time of 648 hours and 50 minutes today at 1 p.m.

McCornack's 26 excess votes over quota were redistributed first, Bumgarner getting six and Bush 20. Bumgarner received six and Bush 12 of Thompson's 18 extra votes. Bumgarner reached quota and won the fifth and last seat on the redistribution of Tieszen's seven extra votes, getting four to Bush's three.
Donald Alderson, dean of men, ran a poor seventh in that district last year, receiving one write-in vote.
Politics—
THE INFLUENCE of preferential voting is evident when political parties decide upon the number of candidates to run in the districts. Each party tries to field at least as many candidates as it feels can be elected. Overoptimism can be dangerous though, because the fewer the number of candidates a party runs, the more votes each will receive through redistribution if balloting is along party lines.

Proportional voting, another off-shoot of KU's elections system, has been used with success in several districts. Party members receive cards prior to election listing a recommended voting preference. Each candidate is listed as a first preference an equal number of times. Theoretically, all of the party's candidates thus have the same number of votes in the election.
"My best investment would be in a slide rule," a political party officer said several weeks ago. "I'm so full of numbers now my head hurts."
