KU considering Denmark Studies Program
By GINA K. THORNBURG Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas is considering participation in the Denmark International Studies Program, the largest study abroad program in Europe, the director of the KU office of study abroad said yesterday.
The DIS program has been endorsed by the School of Architecture and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Before KU can participate, however the program must be audited by the Goe Budig and the Board of Regents, said Anita Herzfeld, the director of study abroad.
The DIS will open Denmark to KU students for the first time. Herzeld said, to study there for a semester or a year.
IF THE PROGRAM obtains final
approval, students in the School of Architecture and Design and the School of Business and in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be able to take courses at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark with credit transfer to KU guaranteed.
W. O. Wagonn, director of the international center at Washburn University in Topeka, said that credits transferred easily between the University of Copenhagen and U.S. universities because the course required the DIS program was similar to the format at schools in the United States.
Washburn is one of the founders of the program, he said, and has been participating in DIS' for 20 years.
Niels Gottlieb Larsen, associate director of studies of the DIS in Copenhagen, met yesterday with faculty in the KU architecture and
LARSEN SAID THAT an average of 500 students from 132 American universities studied annually in Copenhagen.
business schools and with staff of the KU office of study abroad.
Wagnon said that KU was the most recent of 40 American universities to become a program coordinator. When a university becomes a program coordinator, it can either limit program participation to its own students or allow students from other universities to participate.
Students in the program live with Danish families, Larsen said.
"THE STUDENT IS not just a boarder, he becomes a member of the family." he said.
Wagon said the DIS should be particularly attractive to English-speaking students. All of the courses are taught in English by Danish professors.

Journalism building to be renamed in Saturday ceremonies
By BRUCE F. HONOMICHL Staff Reporter
The name Oscar S. Stauffer, longtime KU benefactor and founder of Stauffer Communications Inc., will be etched into the history of the William Allen White School of Journalism after ceremonies Saturday to rename the school.
Stauffer's name will join that of Leon "Daddy" Flint, who was chairman of the department of journalism from 1916 to 1941. The new name of the building will be Stauffer Flint Hall.
The ceremony, which will begin at 10
a. m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union, will be part of the journalism school's annual Editors' Day. More than 200 Kansas newspaper editors are scheduled to attend the event.
STAUFFER WAS A member of the Board of Regents for 25 years and was a benefactor to the School of Journalism for five years he died February in 1983. old age 85
Last summer the Regents adopted a University committee recommendation that would have eliminated Flint's name from the name of the building. However, the Regents later decided to name the building after both men.
School of Journalism and set up the first scholarship fund in the school."
Stauffer gave $1 million to the school three years ago for renovation of the building and improvement of the school's programs.
MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION COURAGEOUSLY TOLERATES SOME "BRUTAL KILLING"
Also during Editors' Day, the media resources center on the west side of Stauffer-Flint's reading room will be named after Roger N. Wooldridge, a former KU journalism student who was killed in an automobile accident in 1973. That dedication will take place in Alderson Auditorium.
In a letter found in the September 21st University Daily Kansan, Muslim Student Association President Alaa El-Deen Afifi observes that "A year has elapsed since 1,600 men, women, and children were massacred in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatulea in Lebanon. The victims were not fighters but misable refugees."
Del Brinkman, dean of the school of journalism, said yesterday that sentiment was strong to retain Flint's name. Flint died in 1955 at age 79.
After some investigation Mr. Affili found that "Because their misery was thought to be too much for them, they were relieved from it, simply by killing them." Concludes Mr. Affili: "Such a pattern of brutal killings invites fear in our hearts."
The October 10th issue of Time magazine contains an essay by Charles Krauthammer entitled "On Apologies. Authentic and Otherwise" in which he notes that "Nothing except the apology ... (can) prevent historical wounds from festering endlessly."
"Both men were special to this University," Brinkman said. "Oscar Stauffer was instrumental in getting the journalism department recognized as a university." Leon Fintz, legend in this school because of his teaching and his era.
Says Mr. Krauthammer: "There are authentic expressions of national contrition ... (One was) the finding of the Israeli commission on the killings at Sabra and Shatilla that, though others had committed the crime, Israel bore a national responsibility for not having prevented them from happening." During his discussion of "What distinguishes the authentic national confession from the counterfeit," Mr. Krauthammer says nothing about the ongoing bloodbath for which the Ayatollah Khomeni is responsible in Iran probably because this rabid religionist (the Ayatollah) hasn't offered any explanation for his trifacial policy.
"The school exists here because Oscar Stauffer pushed for the establishment of the William Allen White
After having interviewed this theocracy's former prisoners, Amnesty International concluded that the Ayatollah's sadistic hirelings routinely torture and secretly execute those whom they consider political opponents. (The syphobic sheep forever grovelling before the Ayatollah are so sensitive to the insurrectionary state of mind that they're even killed pregnant women and children as young as eleven years old so that the Islamic Republic might become manifest.)
Four years of Islamic rule in Iran have resulted in 30,000 executions and untold suffering. While finding Mr. Aftifi's analysis of the refugee camps massacre inadequate, I certainly can understand why the "pattern of brutal killing" in Iran continues to leave the members of the Muslim Student Association unmoved.

Ted McFarlane, director of the ambulance service, said that laryngoscopes were used to create an airway for breathing when a person's windpipe is blocked. He said the new fiberoptic equipment would be an improvement over older users, which use incandescent bulbs and wires to provide light.
"This is one of the primary life-saving skills implemented in the field," he said.
The commission also approved the ambulance service's requests to buy
three lockers for $244.34 and to buy an audio-video equipment table for $168
Finally, the commission approved the purchase of 50 tons of rock salt from the Independent Salt Co. of Kanopolis. The rock salt, which will be used by the department of Public Works, cost $861.50 Mike Dooley, director of the department, said the salt would be used for ice and snow control on county roads.
"We're just filling up our storage now," he said. "Our usage is a little higher than that."
