Student Labor Board To Help with Problems
By ROZANNE ATKINS
With approximately 72 per cent of all students working full-time or part-time, the need for a student labor committee to hear and iron out labor problems has long been recognized.
A permanent student labor committee was organized last week and is ready to help any student who wishes to submit a problem.
The labor committee includes Wendell Walker, graduate student, chairman; Shirley Thomson, education senior, secretary; David Hills, college senior, treasurer; Harold Miller, graduate student; Jill Woods, college junior; Robert Lee, faculty member, junior and a faculty member not yet chosen.
The committee is divided into three subcommittees to deal with labor relations, discrimination in employment. and low wages.
The student labor relations board composed of Walker, Woods, Miller, a University administration representative and a Lawrence business man will investigate any dispute arising between student employees and employer and make recommendations for a settlement.
A hearing before the board may be obtained by filing a statement with the chairman.
The student fair employment practices commission will hear complaints concerning discrimination in employment on the basis of race, religion, residence, or other grounds. A written report of all complaints will be drawn up by this committee and presented to the labor relations board.
Walker, Miss Thomson, Reed, and the faculty advisor will serve on the committee.
The labor research division includes Hills and paid research assistants. The duty of this division is to gather information needed by other divisions.
The division is especially concerned with wages of University-employed labor. It will provide the student labor committee with appropriate material on which to base an appeal to the bi-annual University budget committee hearing for greater allotment for student wares.
In order that these committees will be standing committees one half of the appointments to replace old members will be made in the fall and the other half in the spring.
KU Opera Scene in Paper
The most recent issue of Opera News, published by the Metropolitan Opera Guild, contains a picture of a scene from the 1952 KU Light Opera Guild's production of "The Bartered Bride." It appears in a survey of standard opera performances at educational institutions.
German Program To Feature Drama
The German department's Christmas program Wednesday, Dec. 17, will feature an example of 16th century German miracle plays, caroling by a student choir and the music of an instrumental trio, Dr. J. A. Burzle, chairman of the department, said today.
The play is a simple presentation of Christ's birth, and it includes, as other miracle plays of that century did, bits of crude humor. The cast of the play are all students of German, Dr. Burzle said. Dr. John Newfield of the University theater is supervising the play's staging.
Musical direction is the responsibility of Elin K. Jorgensen, associate professor of music education. The trio is Martha Heck, fine arts senior, piano; Olga Zilboorg, fine arts freshman, cello, and Don Stewart, assistant instructor of English, violin.

Clark to Discuss Intelligence Drop
Frosh Conference Meets with Success
"This is probably due to two main factors," he said. "First, the high schools are better preparing the students for the transition to college life, and second, the University has been making changes to help the new student fall into the swing of things quickly and easily."

Freshmen entering the University now have an easier time of it than ever before, Registrar James K. Hitt said today after hearing some of the reports on the fourth annual Principal - Freshmen conference Tuesday.
And while the registrar didn't take the credit for these advances for the principal-freshmen meetings, the consensus of opinion among the high school officials was that the conferences have done much to aid the student going from high school to college.
Prof. Carroll D. Clark, chairman of the department of sociology and anthropology, will present the ninth of a series of "Sociology on the Air Broadcasts" at 4 p.m. Sunday on KLWN. His topic will be "Is Intelligence Declining?"

Campus Chest Head Praises Cooperation
Dr. Clark, a former president of the Midwest Sociological society and the Southwest Sociological society, was sociological consultant three years to Gov. Alfred M. Landon's State Planning Board. Dr. Clark has taught at Cornell, Oregon, Idaho, and Connecticut universities.
Thanks for "magnificent cooperation" on the campus Chest drive was expressed today by E. C. Buehle, professor of speech and chairman of the drive.
He is co-author of such books as "Major Problems in Democracy," "People of Kansas," and also "Hand-book of Kansas Social Resources" in addition to many articles in professional journals. Dr. Clark has been chairman of the department since 1933.
The response has been very good," Prof. Buehler said, "and I think we will probably reach or surpass our original quota of $3,500." Friday is the deadline and late contributors may make their contributions to Prof. Buehler.
Principals of 54 Kansas and Missouri high schools had informal chats with freshmen from their high schools during the conference. While most of the principals got together to compare a few notes after the conference, nothing definite came of the meeting. The principals will send a written report to the registrar later telling what they found out from their former students.
When all the reports are in, Mr. Hitt said, then the University can get some idea how it can help the new student even more.
"Just from talking with some of the principals we've found that individual problems, rather than universal ones, are causing what trouble students might have," he said.
Principalis contacted all expressed a high regard for the conference. H. J. Clark of Arkansas City said that he finds the talks most helpful to the high school. Problems faced by students entering KU are not much different than those of other schools, although his school doesn't send many students to KU, the conference helps him with all students going to college.
Barney Hays of Highland Park High school in Topeka agreed with the consensus of opinion that the conference was a very fine and helpful idea.
"Each year we come to the conference, we find the students are having things a little easier than before, and I think it is due mainly to these conferences," he said.

Several freshmen from Highland Park seemed to think that Orientation week was a bit too hectic. One fellow thought that if he could have talked with some older student for advice it might have been easier.
"Our biggest mutual problem seems to be the difference in study habits between high school and college." Mr. Hays said.
Principal Neal M. Wherry of Lawrence High, who annually has one of the larger freshman groups on the campus, said that the Lawrence advisers were finding that each student seemed to have an individual problem, if one at all, rather than one that everyone had.
Freshmen as a whole weren't too sure that the conferences or what they had to say would help too much, but all seemed happy to be able to meet with their high school officials again.
