KU Mathematicians Finish Revised Text for Freshmen
A group of mathematicians, four of them from the University, have finished a new text that may start a radical revision of freshman mathematics courses in the nation's colleges and universities.
Dr. G. B. Price, chairman of the mathematics department at KU and one of the authors, denies that "universal mathematics" is radically new, however.
"It is a text of what skill must be considered experimental materials. But the authors do feel it presents the freshman year of mathematics so as to better meet the future needs of all college students." Dr. Price said.
He hastened to add that 'the 'universal' in the title may be presumptious. But we didn't mean it to connote all worthwhile mathematics, rather that the text is appropriate for all freshmen."
Co-authors with Dr. Price are Dr. W. L. Duren Jr., chairman of the mathematics department at Tufts university and chairman of the committee on the undergraduate ate program of the Mathematical Association; Dr. C. E. Capel, assistant professor at the University of Miami, Fla.; and Dr. William R. Scott, associate professor; Dr. Russell N. Bradt, assistant professor, and F.A.I. Bowers Jr., a graduate student, all of KU.
Freshman mathematics courses at most schools consist of algebra trigonometry, and analytic geometry.
The new text, deigned for two semesters of three credit hours each, reduces the emphasis on trigonometry and analytics. Added are an introduction to calculus, traditionally untouched until the sophomore year, and many other new topics.
In fact the writing of the book this summer was financed partially by a grant from the Social Science Research council and partially by the KU research fund
Ironically, the new text is not be used at KU where it was prepared. Publication by the KU Student Book store of Part I for the first semester—Part II has yet to be printed—came too late for approval by the necessary faculty groups.
However, Tulane university has adopted the new text for all freshman mathematics courses, having done experimental work last year. The University of Miami is using it (experimentally), and Princeton university will use it in several freshman sections this spring.
Tool Engineers' Club To Receive Charter
Harold Buddenbohn of Kansas City, chapter 57, with which the KU student chapter was affiliated will present the charter.
The first national charter to be granted to a student chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers will be given to the University student chapter at 7:30 p.m. today in Fowler shops.

"DUEL IN THE SUN"
Study Begun By Instructor
Miss Dorothy Duhon of Boulder, Colo., has begun a 6-week study of the methods used to teach foreign languages at the University and in the Lawrence public schools. Miss Duhon, who teaches Spanish and French in the Boulder High school, holds a fellowship from the Ford Foundation's fund for the advancement of education.
The fellowship, one of 30 given high school language teachers, will permit her to study language teaching programs over the country on her own schedule.
"I chose to begin the project here because Miss Brady's work in the techniques of teaching Spanish at all levels from the elementary school up is natiorally known," Miss Duhon said.
Miss Agnes Brady, associate professor of Spanish at KU, pioneered the introduction of optional Spanish instruction in the elementary schools of this area, and has prepared several books on the subject.
A native of Louisiana, Miss Duhon holds degrees from the University of Colorado. After her 6-week stay here, she will visit the University of Illinois, Buffalo State Teachers college in New York, and the public schools in New York City, El Paso, Tex., San Diego and Los Angeles.
Band, Orchestra Have Vacancies
There are still a few vacancies in the KU marching band and the University symphony orchestra. Three men who play the trumpet, clarinet, or French horn are needed in the band.
