Ducking Is Essential For Practice Teaching
By LEE ANN URBAN

Dodging flying rubber bands and suffering the brunt of practice jokes are only two difficulties a practice teacher has to contend with according to Joan Carter, education senior.
Hanoi, Indochina — (U.P) - T he French high command reinforced its Red River Delta defense posts today in preparation for a general Communist attack all along the Delta's southwestern flank toward Hanoi.
French Troops Brace for Impending Red Assault
Military sources said an unsuccessful Communist attack on Phu Ly, 32 miles south of Hanoi, appeared to be the prelude to the general assault. The rebels were

driven back in vicious fighting after they forced their way into Phu Ly's outskirts and seized a French command post yesterday.
Rebel pressure against Phu Ly itself slackened after 23 days of heavy fighting while French war planes dropped 500- and 1,000-pound delayed-action bombs into nearby Limestone hills from which the rebels attacked the key city.

Miss Carter, who spent seven weeks at Wyandotte high school in Kansas City, said her most interesting experience was with two freshman English classes comprised of students of below average English ability. Students were placed in these classes on the basis of scores on placement tests taken in the fall. Most of them were on a fourth grade reading level.
The freshmen seem to delight in playing practical jokes. When one girl noticed Miss Carter watching her writing a class theme, she wrote in the middle of her paper, "Miss Carter, you have a run in your nylons."
perimeter, however, the Companists were slowly building pressure against the French. Two days ago the Reds moved the war to the gates of Hanoi itself by seizing the outpost of Xuamxuam, little over six miles from Hanoi and then holding it against determined French Union counterattacks.
The battle for Phu Ly was the biggest since the fall of Dien Bien Phu.
"Discipline was one of the biggest problems," Miss Carter said. "When they start shooting rubber bands, you can't tell where they are coming from. One boy suggested that I learn the art of self-defense."
One student offered to let her look at rattles from a rattle snake. When Miss Carter opened the envelope, a rattling contraption popped out in her face.
Students bring personal problems as well as scholastic ones to the practice teacher. One freshman asked Miss Carter to cut her hair after school.
"They laughed about that for an hour," she said.
after school.
In spite of their practical jokes, the students respect the practice teacher. At the end of the seven weeks, the classes had a party for Miss Carter and presented her with a subscription to the school paper, a corsage, and a compact. Since her return to KU she has received many letters from her students.
"I think the practical experience gained through practice teaching is very worth while." Miss Carter said. "It gives us a chance to apply teaching methods to actual situations."
