Serious Theme To Be Stressed At Homecoming
The KU Homecoming celebration Nov. 1-2 will reverse the field on the "all for fun" theme of the past to emphasize the part KU and its football guest, Kansas State University, must play in building the State's future.
Richard H. Benson, associate professor of geology and general chairman for Homecoming, said, "In a world shaped by science a state's greatest asset is educated people.
"HIGHER EDUCATION must blaze the trail of the State into the future. This will require the active assistance of all institutions of higher education in the State; and they must work together, not divided.
"Therefore, we have adopted for a Homecoming theme the Kansas motto, 'To the Stars Through Difficulties' and 'Higher Education -- the Road to the Future.'"
Although the football game with K.State is the core of the celebration, the house decorations, other displays and ceremonies will emphasize the constructive theme rather than the traditional pattern of beating an athletic opponent.
A NEW FEATURE of the Saturday morning pre-game program will be a joint discussion of higher education in Kansas by President James McCain of K-State and Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe of KU.
Originally planned as an informal session for a joint meeting of the directors of the two alumni associations, the event will be enlarged and opened to the public.
Placement Exam Slated for Oct.19
The national Peace Corps placement examination will be given October 19 at the Lawrence post office.
Charles C. Woodard Jr., Peace Corps associate director, said developing nations around the world are asking the Peace Corps for teachers, farmers, carpenters and engineers.
Volunteers bust be American citizens and at least 18 years old. Married couples are eligible if both qualify and have no dependents under 18 years of age.
The Peace Corps placement test is not competitive and anyone with the equivalent of a high school education is eligible to take it. There is no "passing" score. The test helps the Peace Corps determine the overseas assignment for which applicants are best qualified.
Prospective volunteers who are interested in taking the examination must fill out a Peace Corps questionnaire and send it to the Peace Corps, Washington, D.C. 20525, or take it to the test center. Questionnaires are available in the Peace Corps Student Committee office in the Kansas Union, the Lawrence post office, or from the national office in Washington.
Faculty Recital Series Opens Monday Evening
Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, will present a recital today at 8 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall, opening the Faculty Recital of the KU School of Fine Arts.
The program will include the song cycle "Die Winterreisse" by Franz Shubert.
John Perry, assistant professor of piano, will accompany Schmidt.
'Yugoslavic Buildings Don't Just Fall Down'
Herbert Galton, professor of Slavic languages and literature, said Friday, "it is by no means a common occurrence of structures in Yugoslavia to fall down as stated in a Kansan article Tuesday."
Prof. Galton said that he believed the noise to be a minor building collapse and went back to sleep.
