University Daily Kansan. 12-15 Fewer Frosh Flunk Now DURHAM, N.H. —(LP.)— The freshman academic mortality rate at the University of New Hampshire has been reduced in three years from 24 per cent to 114 per cent, according to the annual report of the admissions office. This reduction is the result of changes in the admissions policy. The report, based on the 1954-55 statistics, points out that students enter the university through one of two channels. Nearly 90 per cent of last year's class was admitted on class standing. The students were graduated from high school in the top two-fifths of their class with a background in college preparatory courses or from a private college preparatory school with full certification. The other 10 per cent of the students were admitted on the basis of special entrance examinations. There were 911 freshmen in the University last year. Of these, 114 per cent failed. Sixty-five failures were recorded among those 793 students who were admitted on the basis of successful high school preparation. Among the 118 admitted by test scores, there were 38 mortalities. When compared with previous studies, this shows that the proportion of successful students admitted by examination has risen. Before, nearly 62 per cent were successful. ROTC Survey To Show Preferences Of Cadets Recent changes in Army policy have resulted in a survey to determine the percentages of Army ROTC cadets who would elect one or the other of two service programs. The survey is for planning purposes only. It seeks to find out how many men would prefer serving six months active duty for training, followed by seven-and-one-half years of active reserve, and how many would prefer serving two years active duty followed by six years of inactive reserve duty. The standard of living in West Berlin is rising steadily, general household costs now totalling $136 million annually, while the money spent for liquors, cigarettes, and coffee has risen to $50 million. Students Oppose Discrimination NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (IP.)—A memorandum recommending the study of racial discrimination in fraternities and sororities at Westminster College was sent recently to the board of trustees by Dr. Will W. Orr, college president. The paper contained 33 signatures including nearly all the presidents of campus Greek organizations and the lone independent group. The memorandum, compiled by Dr. Joseph Hopkins, associate professor of Bible, emphasizes that by the signing of it the person did not necessarily represent his group or its opinion, but was signing as an individual. The paper recommends that the board appoint a committee to study the matter, "the committee to invite the cooperation of the Interfraternity, Pan-Hellenic, and Student Councils in determining what steps should be taken toward a campus-wide removal of discriminatory policies in Westminster College's fraternities and sororities." The statement points out that "significant steps" have been taken during the past 10 years on at least 18 college and university campuses toward ending the "unChristian and un-American practice of excluding non-Caucasians from membership...in fraternities and sororities." Church-related colleges have been conspicuously absent from the list of institutions which have pioneered in this area, the statement says. "Christian colleges should be leading the procession of those institutions which are endeavoring to further the cause of racial tolerance and brotherhood on their college campuses," the paper adds. college campuses. The memorandum points out that for one individual fraternity chapter to attempt to buck national policy and perhaps suffer the loss of its national charter, would be to place that chapter at an unfair disadvantage with other groups. Therefore, the recommendation was made to the board. Home Ec House Has New TV Set The home management house has a new television set. Members of the Home Economics Club gave the 21 inch set to the house. The club members believe that a typical home, such as the home management house, should be pro vided with a television set. Many modern housekeepers budget their work to include time for watching programs. Now the women living in the house can practice allotting time for TV. Committee members who selected the television set are: Miss Frieda Sloop, adviser at the home management house; Elaine Carlson. Junction City junior; Phyllis Clark, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and Sara Gilbert, Arkansas City senior. HOT SPRINGS, S.D. (U.P.)-Despite the theory of some hunters, it is possible to fool wild ducks. A flock crashed into the Hot Springs airport runway during a snowstorm recently, apparently mistaking it for a lake. Result: about 200 dead and crippled ducks. Ducks Can Be Fooled When man reaches an altitude of 120 miles, or 630,000 feet, he will encounter all the medical problems characteristic of space, among them cosmic and ultraviolet radiation, meteors, weightlessness, and the darkness of the void, says the National Geographic Society.

University Daily Kansan 6 KU English Teachers Also Double As Authors Book For Teenagers Arvid Shulenberger, associate professor on leave for the 1955-56 school year, returned to the University in November after spending five months in Mexico writing a novel. During the rest of the year, he will study other universities' creative writing programs under a Ford Foundation grant. Mr. Gunn, a 1947 KU journalism graduate, received a master's degree in English in 1951. About 20,000 words of his thesis, a critical analysis of science fiction, was serialized in a science fiction magazine. Before his first novel, Mr. Shulenberger had written criticism and poetry. In 1954 "Roads from the Fort," published by Harcourt, Brace, and Company, was recommended by Book-of-the-Month Club. "This Fortress World" is the second science fiction novel written by James E. Gunn, assistant instructor of English and editor of the Alumni magazine. Don Wilcox has written a book for teenagers, "Basketball Star," published by Little, Brown. The same company has accepted a story about the social adjustment of a Navajo Indian boy who came from Arizona to attend Haskell Institute. Some persons write, and some persons teach. But at least six members of the English staff do both. Mr. Wilcox taught sociology while obtaining his master's degree from the University. In Chicago he wrote radio and television scripts, school plays, boys' stories, and science fiction. Now he conducts Extension English classes at Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka. Author's First Book "Sodhouse Adventure," to be published by Longman's next fall, is the first book written by Mrs. Bonnie Bess King, instructor of English. The book is based upon Mrs. King's recollections of her grandparents, who homesteaded in Butler County. Mrs. King won a scholarship to the University of Chicago where Thornton Wilder, who taught one of her classes, made selling one story the requirement for passing his course. Since then, she has had stories published in newspapers and denominational publications. Charles Loyd Holt, instructor of English, reproduces 19th century opera in modern language. His version of Carl Millecker's opera, "The Beggar Student," now entitled "An American in Boston," has been accepted by Schirmer's music publishers. The comic opera, given at the University last spring, was first presented in 1951 at the University of Kansas City. "A new and original talent" is the way some critics described Edgar Wolfe, instructor of English, after the publication of his first novel, "Widow Man," by Atlantic Monthly Press. Now writing his second novel, Mr. Wolfe explained, "I think about it a lot, but I don't know whether the thinking is very effective between grading stacks of papers." TKEs Plan Party For 40 Children Forty grade school children will ride in a fire truck, provided by the Lawrence fire department, from their homes to the Tau Kappa Epsilon house for the fraternity's second annual Christmas party for underprivileged children from 1 until 5 p.m. Saturday. After the children decorate the TKE's Christmas tree, Jim Curry, Ottawa junior, dressed as Santa Claus, will distribute presents to them. Still A Kid At Heart Clair Law, Hays senior and TKE social chairman, is in charge of the party plans. Entertainment will include a magic act by Larry Heil, Topeka senior, and a movie. Christmas carols will also be sung. MUSKEGON, Mich. (U.P.)—Charles W. Spear, 84, was awarded $2,000 by a circuit court jury for injuries he received when hit by a car last July 3. Spear claimed among other things that his injuries shortened his life expectancy.
