Travel tea planned
An informal tea and talk about travel will be presented Thursday in the Kansas Union.
The talk, 1970 in Europe, is sponsored by David Martin-Sperry, 23, who is currently visiting colleges throughout the country as a "roving ambassador from Britain."
Martin-Sperry has spent four summers escorting groups of college students around Europe. He said he believes seeing Europe with a tour is preferable to hitchhiking around the country.
CYD to appoint committees

1969 KANSAN 3
Finnish auto sales
HELSINKI (UPI)—About 29,000 automobiles were sold in Finland in the first three months of 1969, an increase of approximately 13,500 cars over the corresponding period of 1968.
If the campus seems a little crowded this year, it could be because the University of Kansas is the largest and fastest growing of the six state institutions under the control of the Kansas Board of Regents.
KU ranks no.1 in enrollment
More than 900,000 motor vehicles are registered in Finland, over half of them private cars. On the basis of first quarter sales, dealers say they expect to sell about 80,000 cars this year. The population of Finland is about 4.5 million.
Figures released Friday credit KU with 17,576 students which represents and increase of 1,094 students, or 6.6 per cent, from the fall of 1968. Only Wichita State University approaches this increase with its growth rate of 6.5 per cent. Kansas State has a growth rate of 4.6 per cent.
The six state institutions together had an enrollment increase of 4.4 per cent. All schools of higher education in the state, including junior colleges and private colleges, had a growth rate of 6.9 per cent.
Enrollment at KU is above figures anticipated by budget requests. Chancellor Chalmers has said KU would request a supplemental budget as a result of the situation.
KU also has the highest total of enrollees in each of the student classifications of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, fifth-year students, special students, post baccalaureate students, master degree candidates and doctoral candidates.
Sophomores take the largest number of course hours—the average KU sophomore carries 16.2 credit hours. There are 17.1 students to every faculty member at KU and each faculty member teaches an average of 241 credit hours. Both the ratio of students to teachers and the average number of credit hours taught are the lowest of any of the six state schools.
