Medical School Seeks Better Teaching Ways
Dr. Paul Roofe, chairman of the anatomy department, making a survey for the Medical school, studied the curricula of various medical schools over the U.S. this summer.
Dr. Roofe traveled from June 5 until Sept. 1 studying the various schools "in reference to integrating a program here that will be more suitable to a modern approach to medicine."
He made a preliminary report to the anatomy-physiology seminar Thursday, and a formal report to the University will follow in a few weeks.
Dr. Roofe visited the medical schools of the universities of Missouri, Indiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, and Louisville, Vanderbilt at Nashville, Emory at Atlanta, Duke, and Bowman Gray at Winston-Salem.
He also interviewed representatives from 11 other schools, and studied intensively the program of Western Reserve university, medical
Cleveland At the present time the medical student is burdened with numerous details. Dr. Roofe said, "ranging over 10 to 15 different fields."
"We want to try to give the student a knowledge of the principles and fundamentals of medicine, the power to use instruments and methods of his profession, and above all, to put him in a position to carry on the education which he has begun in the medical school." Dr. Roofe said.

Vacancies in elementary schools prompted 40 per cent of the requests. Tied for second were calls for a teachers of English and music; then home economics, social studies, commerce, education, science, and mathematics
Dr. Chandler said the most acute shortages seem to be in fields usually taught by women.

A blizzard rips Newfoundland and in a small cabin a group of men are sitting around a table getting the latest news from home. They too are Kansan readers.
Wherever Man May Roam, He'll Find a Daily Kansan
Rapid
A lone man sits at a sidewalk cafe sipping a pernod. The shrill whistle of the French "flic" is heard in the background while the scurrying taxis with piping horns fly by. He picks up a paper. Is it the Paris Gazette? No. He's reading a University Daily Kansan.
Every day more than 6,000 Kansans are run off the presses in the basement of the Journalism building. Most of these papers are scheduled for the distribution boxes around the campus, but more than 1,000 of them go everywhere from Brooklyn to Venezuela.
Transit
The job of getting these papers to the four corners of the globe belongs to Max Urban, journalism senior. Urban starts working about three in the afternoon, and it is often after six before he is finished rolling, pasting and arranging the papers. After the papers are put into mailbags, the trains, ships, and planes distribute them to different parts of the world.

Issues of the Kansan are sent to 31 different states. The mailing list contains dozens of APO numbers and Fleet Post Office addresses that take the paper to nearly every continent.
When the cold weather really hits it might be pleasant while reading your Kansan and trying to keep warm over a cup of Union coffee to think that somewhere in Hawaii another Kansan reader is trying to keep cool under a palm tree with the aid of a long, cool drink.
