Read, Listen to All, Advises Faculty Panel
Read the New York Times book review section and attend lectures and professional meetings if you want to keep up with everything.
These were some of the suggestions given by a faculty panel speaking on "Keeping Up With Everything" in the Kansas Union last night. The panel discussion was the first lecture in a series sponsored by the SUA on the Philosophical Bases of Absolutely Everything (PBOAF).
"I am forced to turn myself intensely to areas where I can devote myself full time," said Robert J. Squier, assistant professor of anthropology. This is due to more specialization, the increased amount of published data on the specialized areas, and the lack of time to cover this vast amount of new material in the field of anthropology, he said.
THE TEN PANEL members agreed that keeping up with current events and becoming the "informed man" is nearly impossible. This is because of the recent trend of specialization in all areas of study and the vastly increased number of professional journals and papers in these areas of specialization.
Eldon J. Fields, professor of political science, said one must strive to be the "informed man." To do this, one must read a variety of sources. These sources include "high brow, middle brow and low brow" literature, he said.
"THE MOST effective way to keep on top of things is to attend professional meetings," said Earl S. Hughes, associate professor of chemistry.
"The student can learn by listening to people who know," Prof. Beth said.
Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, advised the student "to listen" if he is interested in knowing what is going on.
In addition, educators must communicate effectively between academic areas, said Stuart Levine, assistant professor of English. They not only must address themselves to others outside their own fields, but they must deal with the outside field on its own terms, he said.
ALTHOUGH EIGHT of the panelists greed that keeping up was good, Charles Landesman, associate professor of philosophy, disagreed.
"We don't have a general obligation to learn everything. Ask yourself why you want to know about the field," he said.
Dr. William R. Bright, president and founder of the Campus Crusade for Christ International, Inc., will speak at 9 p.m., tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
Religion Organizer Speaks Tomorrow
Dr. Bright, who owned a national manufacturing firm, was graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles and did his graduate work at Princeton and Fuller theological seminaries.
Campus Crusade has spread to many colleges and universities across the nation and in many foreign countries. Recently Jeonbuig National University of Korea conferred upon him an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.
Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1963
Dr. Bright speaks to about 60 college audiences each year. Last spring he spoke at the Kansas Governor's breakfast. He has also spoken at other governors' breakfasts throughout the country.
Dr. Bright is the author of various books including "The Sound Mind Principle" and "The Priority of Praver."
OKLAHOMA RANKED FIRST on the Associated Press football poll in 1950, 1955 and 1956. The Sooners were first according to United Press International in 1950, 1955 and 1956.
New Grant To Junior
Terry Alan Miller, Baxter Springs junior, has been awarded the Grace Caroline Eaton Scholarship for being the outstanding junior man in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The award, comparable to the Paul B. Lawson award to the outstanding College senior, was made by the Summerfield scholarship committee.
The scholarship, given for the first time this year, was established in honor of Miss Grace Caroline Eaton. Before Miss Eaton's death in 1961, she was one of the oldest living KU alumni, having graduated in 1893.
Miss Eaton left a portion of her estate to KU, the income from which is to be awarded to an outstanding male student in the College. The award is based on the recipient's first two years of work at KU. The scholarship will assist him in his last two years in school.
THE NEW YORK YANKEES and Los Angeles Dodgers, leaders in the American and National League pennant races, were the pre-season choices of the United Press International's board of baseball experts.
