Becomes Youngest Member
Law Student Joins Legislature
By JULIE SMITH
Kansan Staff Writer
Tuesday night a 22-year-old KU graduate student, became the youngest congressman to be elected to the legislature. Paul Hess, a Wichita law student, was elected representative from the 80th district.
Hess, who ran on the Republican Party, did not do well when he was the youngest man ever elected to the state legislature but that in the past 100 years he has done so. His age group have been elected. He was 21 when he won the election.
He won in the 80th district, the west-central part of Wichita, by a 57 per cent majority. The district is divided into two county and 125 districts throughout the state.
Hess defeated a second term incumbent, Democrat Laurence Loeffler. He won Republicans in the state congressional race to beat an incumbent.
He attributed his victory to door-to-door campaigning in the district. He said he met at least five leaders in his area while campaigning.
CAMPAGNING WAS Difficult, according to Hess, because he was too old and had not courses this semester. Most of his campaigning was done on television.
"You'd be surprised how many people had never talked to a state representative or even knew who the representative was," he said.
The new representative apparently thinks his age was a major factor in the campaign, and he tried to use it against him to work in his advantage. He explained that because he was young and did not have much experience, he started the door-to-door campaign.
HESS SAID HE did not use many students in his campaign because he wanted the older
"Now that I have been elected, I see for the first time just how much responsibility is involved in the office."
people to understand that he was a mature, dedicated young man who was willing to work with people through the system.
Very little discussion of current issues such as the liquor-by-the-campaign movement and the campaign, Hess noted. He said that people didn't seem to represent themselves enough to seriously talk to them about the election. People who have won the election, he appeared regretful that the people were not being represented.
"I must take a stand on the issues," be said, "but I must also gain the respect of the older people."
because he had made himself known and not because of his ideas.
He pointed out that he would be in the office representative for the University of Kansas, but if at any time he in IGI was slightly seated he would be in the office representative for the University of Kansas.
HESS, WHO labeled himself a pragmatist rather than a Republican or Democrat, said he could do now would be to learn as much about the Kansas House of Representatives machinery as he possibly could. By doing this he explained that he was hoping his ideas more effectively when the right time comes because he will necessarily know how the system works.
"I HOPE TO be able to communicate with different people on campus." Hess said, "I am willing to listen to anyone. I’m no miracle-man, and I have no inquiries," but I’m willing to listen.
"Now that I have been elected, I see for the first time just how much responsibility is involved in the office," he said.
In order to attend the 90-day session which convenes In
Chicago, students must attend one or two courses next spring.

Simple Specialization Shirked By Visiting French Professor
One of the most important French scholars in the world is currently a visiting professor of French at the University of Kansas, Moshe Lazar, who leaves KU at the end of this week, from the University of Jerusalem.
LAZAR, IN HIS ssaum course manner, explained the two graduate courses he has taught this semester. One of the seminars was concerned with the death hell in medieval civilization

Besides having a vast knowledge of French, he is well-grounded in medieval literature, philology, paleography and eight other languages. Three or four of his books has practically spoken since birth.
This course led to production of the play "The Last Judgment" by Michael Lazar, the moment. The presentation was the play's debut this century. Lazar updated the play to modern times and published sometime this month.
His other seminar was concerned with paleography and the history of manuscript types, is the technique of editing and deciphering ancient manuscripts and texts). His students worked on a variety of manuscript types, manuscripts that will be

"I don't believe in 'spiritualism' the interest in Medieval and contemporary society. The arts, sociology of Western Europe."
Video Tape System Aids Education, Communication
The video taping sequence was initiated through the department's curriculum, and in the request of junior colleges throughout Kansas two years earlier, the department was able to offer particular courses to their students because of size and availability.
PRESENTLY IN THE ONLY video taping being done is by KU classroom at Lawrence. Dennis McCatchey, director, and Jennifer Patterson, production ofapes for on-campus use is not in operation because the center is waiting for a new teacher to do tapping in color. When the grant will be one of three universities in country producing color videoapes.

Instead of taking classroom time to step back, Bricks tapes with each segment of the experiment filmed separately and then cut them in half. A whole on film without wasting time preparing each step during preparation.
MCCLATHEY SAID THE center was not used as a supplement to the teacher but rather a lecture on how to tape professors' use of video taping was not to record a straight lecture on film, but to introduce information in class that nor could be done without taping.
teachers who have never used video taping before are always to use the propositions the center believes in teaching with film—if you can't show it, don't tell it, and if you can, screen moves, the audience will.

The second half of the project will start at KU on Feb. 7 for a two-week period. Twenty-four faculty and educational directors will observe the developed model in Joliffe Hall, or at Joliffe Hall, the Head Start
Edward Scaggs, assistant professor in social welfare and director of the leadership meeting on education, purpose was to write a quality child development program which will be used in the four state region (Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri) but will also have nationwide use.
The project is in two phases.
The first phase is a planning of a curricular package or model for use in the Head Start program
National, regional and consultant specialists in child development met at the University of Wisconsin-Waukee, WI and Thursday and took part in the first phase of a program to develop an improved system for Head Start administrators throughout the country.

Stairs' office has also been trying to create a black studies program in the Law. He has advocated a change in the curriculum from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
"IN ORDER TO GET matching funds from the city," Sturns said. "And the problem of the tax lid. We're probably in worse shape this year in terms of funding for a year ago when we bought it."
The office has never received any federal funds, Sturus said, but they did apply for some last year. He said the application was not accepted. Mr. Sturus will direct the office. Plans have been made to resubmit a request for federal funds he said, but the request must be approved by city commission because the city would have to be able to fund the project with a certain amount of funds of its own.
He said the proposed change was "primarily in the area of black studies, that a curriculum that reflects the contribution and existence of blacks in America."
About the various employment programs,
Sturns said, "We have 1 done as much as I
want."
Storms said all of the women except one, who quit the program, were now full time employees.
He said part of the problem was funds. Without more funds, he said, the office could not have an adequate staff and could not have a structured program for employment.
"We haven't been as successful," he continued, "as I had hoped that we would be, but

But he said he was optimistic that some funds could be obtained from the city and others from abroad.
Area merchants, Sturns said, offered commitments to provide jobs for those who completed the training course. The programs were financed partly by a contribution of $800 from the Chamber of Commerce. Sturns said the adult education group at the high school in Cumberland Cash Register Company also helped by providing classrooms and cash registers.
The training programs that Sturns helped develop in Lawrence involved retail sales and banking. There have been two retail sales programs, the last one in February. Sturns that 22 people attended the five-week program and 15 of them graduated or completed it.
EACH OF THE SEVEN trainees, Sturns said, was placed in one bank for one week of training. Then the trainee was placed in the bank for another week eventually work for another five weeks of training. At the end of this six weeks training, women were placed on probation for 30 days.
On May 26 a bank training program began. This program, *Sturgan explained*, placed seven students in the Bank Program offered by the banks. The bank program was carried out in conjunction with the *Hallard Community Bank*.
we have presented some proposals, especially at the high school level."
The human resources office has heard several complaints about housing. Sturda said she had been told the police, in court; they were solved by a member of the commission and Sturda talks to the home
He said his office had also been urging the school administration to find more black instructors and a black administrator for the high school.
"N MOST CASES," Sturds said, "they were still cases where I feel discriminated did exist. But it was difficult for us to prove it and we were not able to get any kind of con-
He said he was not dissatisfied with his office, but he wasn't really happy, with it often, and the first time he said," and I am the first director who's been doing. You have to overcome the problems of budget and staff before you can really succeed in dealing with problems that people are concerned about.
A policy statement endorsing a representation on policymaking at the United Nations Social Welfare was released Tuesday by Arthur Kraemer dean of the University.
"THIS OFFICE," he said, "offers me an opportunity to get involved in the total problem of people with lower income and of lower social-economic groups and you're not confined to just police matters or just amusement matters. You're working in a number of different ways that give some great insight into the kind of things that go on when trying to bring about change."
Social Welfare School Continues Student Voice
Sturns said he definitely didn't want to go back into police work.
Caedmon was the earliest Christian poet.
"The time is long past," he continued,
"when you can take an office of one man and
expect to deal with human relations
problems."
Besides the 10 workshops, Sturrs said, the grant from the governor's committee also provides for a police-community relations officer. He said this office would not be created until the workshops, ideas about it, and experiences in the workshops, will be talked about in the workshops.
Sturns said he was working toward a better organized and structured program of human relations in Lawrence. He wants to quit just reacting to problems, he wants to situations before they become problems that involve complaints and reaction.
The booklet will also tell people where and how to file complaints when they have been discriminated against, Sturns said. The booklet should be completed in about two weeks.
Students who have problems of housing or employment, Sturus said, are welcome to go to his office. He said he would try to help them in any way possible.
He said that was because discrimination was hard to prove and the individual who filed the complaint was not a member of the particular house. Sturrs told the individual couldn't afford to wait, he needed a house and would have to wait.
rescinded its resolution regarding student participation. No such proposal has been advanced by the University or the authority of the School of Social Welfare.
The school has had a policy of maximum feasible participation in extracurricular activities, participation has included students as co-curricular members of clubs and organizations.
The statement contained a list of faculty members who will continue their support of the current policy and will work for establishment of the University Senate's original resolution.
A booklet is being prepared, Sturrs said, but summarizes the federal state's law for bank lending that will be distributed to various real estate agencies in Lawrence, he said, especially ones that are owned by banks.
Katz said that four students had been on each of the committees, which on some constituted as much as 60 per cent of all faculty meetings, students had had 20 per cent representation.
"I am not putting this statement for public release because something we should be proud of," Katz said, "or because we are more advanced than anyone else." It is clear where we stand on the issue.
