Foreign Students Visit Hiawatha

Forty-two foreign students from the University visited 14 Brown county farms and toured Hiawatha, the "typical American rural community," last weekend.
The students, representing more than 30 foreign countries, left Lawmere supervised a tour of Brown 10:30 a.m. Saturday. That afternoon the Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce supervised a tour of Brown county farms and showed the students grain elevators and farm equipment.
Mr. Alderson said he hoped that the students found real insight into American life in the Middle West through the visit in Hiawatha homes.
Mayor L. A. Neff of Hiawatha and Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean then, made the arrangements for his trip. "We're honored that Hiawatha was chosen," Mayor Neff said.
County Agent Harvey E. Goertz, and two guides explained farm techniques, crop rotation and erosion control.
Each student, assigned to a Hiawatha family, spent the remainder of the time "getting acquainted, comparing customs, and finding the solution to international problems through friendship and understanding." Kathryn Conrad, college junior from Hiawatha who helped plan the trip, said today.
A Diesel Operators institute to be held at the University of Kansas Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will have an international enrollment.
The students returned to Lawrence Sunday afternoon. The tour, sponsored by the University foreign student committee, is the third trip made by the students this year.

KU Receives 7 Oil Paintings From New York Museum
An agreement by which the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has sent an important group of oil paintings to the Museum of Art of the University of Kansas for an extended loan was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
It is believed that this arrangement marks the first time that any state facility in the Midwest has borrowed for any long period a group from the Metropolitan's collections.

Howell, Mich. (Q.P) The sleeve of Harry Hanovow's sheepskin coat fired him the coat was attending his furnace. He hung the coat up after he thought he had put the fire out.
A short time later the house burned down with an estimated loss of $10,000.
"But the real importance of the loan is to the people of Kansas." Dr. Murphy emphasized. "The Metropolitan's generous action lends to the state a group of fine works of men who have been previously unavailable in the region."
The initial loan of seven masterpieces in oil includes works by such known nineteenth century French painters as Courbet, Monet, Puvis de Chavannes, and Gerome. Works by earlier men include pictures by the Fleming, Jacob Jordaens, and the Italian Paceco de Rosa.
The Metropolitan's action brings to KU pictures by men previously unrepresented in the University's collections, and will permit a more effective teaching in history and literature as well as art.

The University guidance bureau has begun an evaluation of Air Force on-the-job proficiency tests under a $8,330 contract with the Human Resources Research laboratories.
The research will be carried out in close co-operation with HRLr officials at Forbes Air base in Topeka. HRLR is a group of Air Force aviation psychologists.
The project will be concerned with the standardization of test scores, a search for providing methods of evaluation, and an analysis of individual test items.
Mr. Ottman has been a HRL consultant since last spring and has just returned from the West coast where he collected criteria data to be used in the evaluation. Three student assistants will be named to work on the project.
The project director is Donald Ottman, a research assistant in the guidance bureau and a doctoral candidate specializing in test evaluation.

An example of the type or evaluation to be made is the efficiency of the wording directed to a pilot from the control tower.
KU Stations Get AP Wire
KFKU and KANU-FM will have the 24-hour radio wire services of the Associated Press beginning Thursday.
Although the FM station isn't expected to begin broadcasting until July, the service is being started now so that the station's personnel can be trained in its use.
When KANU begins broadcasting, it will use news regularly. This news will be obtained from both the AP wire and the United Press wire which is located in the William Allen White School of Journalism.
The news broadcasts supplied by the UP wire will be handled by students and faculty members in the School of Journalism.
R. Edwin Browne, director of the University radio station, raid the emphasis on news is based on the assumption that listeners to educational stations want to be well informed on current events.
