Professor Compares German, U.S. Schools
American universities are basically different from German universities because they have the goal of educating all students, Klaus Berger, associate professor of art history, told the German club yesterday.
14 Colleges to Study Elections
Fourteen colleges and universities in Kansas will co-operate this spring in an experimental project to collect and analyze data regarding the recruiting of candidates for municipal elections in Kansas, the Governmental Research center reported here last week.
Students under the supervision of political science professors will conduct interviews during 50 to 60
corporate city elections throughout Kansas. The data collected during the interviews will be and the interviewers cooperative research project. - Francis Heller, associate professor of political science, is chairman of the committee.
Prof. Heller will report briefly on the project at the annual meeting of the Kansas Teachers of Government which will be held March 18 and 19 at El Dorado.
Cooling Towers Being Installed
The building and grounds department is installing cooling towers in all campus buildings having refrigeration, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent.
The towers, which will cost approximately $9,000, are being installed to comply with a city ordinance which prohibits the discharging of water used for refrigeration into the city's sewer system. Installation of these towers will cut the amount of water used by the University about 90 per cent according to Mr. Bayles.

German universities expect to educate only the intellectually elite, Prof. Berger explained. The American state university which does not reserve its facilities for the most intelligent students has no counterpart in Germany.
Less basic differences between German and American universities are shown by the fact that German universities usually lack campuses and are often housed in one building. Lecture attendance is not compulsory and students may finish any course simply by passing the examination. Prof. Berger said.
The American experiment in universal education is possible because of the democratic belief of most Americans that all citizens deserve educational opportunities regardless of their social and economic status or native intelligence, he said.
Prof. Berger, a native of Germany, has either studied or taught in five German and four American universities. He received his doctorate from Gottingen university in Germany. He spent last year as a Fulbright lecturer at the University of Cologne.

Moore Describes Romantic Poets
A feeling for the word itself was described as a feature of the new Romantic poets by Geoffrey Moore, visiting professor of English, at the poetry hour yesterday in the Music room of the Student Union.
Prof. Moore said the new Romantic poets liked to play with words and use words for their own sake. He read selections from George Barker, W. R. Rodgers, W. S. Graham, and Vernon Watkins.
