LECTURES RUN a little late sometimes, but this is ridiculous. Actually, two KU students found that an empty classroom is a good place to carry on a late night discussion—or, in this case, a 2:30 a.m. discussion.
Requirements Changed For Music Education
Changes in the department of music education curriculum were decided last year by the department's faculty and student advisory committee and are now in effect, George Duerksen, associate professor of music education and chairman of the department said Thursday.
Duerksen said that when the requirements were changed the curriculum became much more flexible.
Two changes have been made in the curriculum. The number of hours required for the undergraduate degree has been dropped from 132 to 129 and three courses have been added to the program.
The courses added to the undergraduate program are concerned with the reason people behave as they do toward music.
"Students have many more options and electives," he said.
Duerksen said little attention had been paid to the human dynamics underlying music education.
The courses that have been added are "Introduction to Music Education," "Socio-Cultural Influence of Musical Behavior" and "Psycho-Biology of Musical Behavior."
"Introduction to Music Education " is concerned with the purpose of music education. "Socio-Cultural Influence" attempts to analyze people in musical subcultures and western and nonwestern societies.
The course in psycho-biology is concerned with the personal and genetic behaviors involved in the production of and relation to music. The students study the body activity and the psychology involved in music and music education.
200 Expected for 60 Class Reunion
Approximately 200 people are expected to attend the first KU class of 1960 reunion scheduled for homecoming weekend, according to Steve Clark, alumni office coordinator for the event.
Clark said general registration and a coffee reception will be held for the class members at 10 a.m. Oct.24, in the Kansas Union.
A luncheon, the homecoming game with Iowa State in the afternoon and a post-game party at the Hotel Muechlebach in Kansas City will also be included in the class's activities.
The fire in the Renz Apartments, in which a University of Kansas coed was severely burned last Sunday, has brought city officials into action. The City Building Inspector, Ken Jorgenson, began inspection of apartment complexes on Thursday.
Inspector Acts on City Code
We do not want another occurrence such as the one at Renz Apartments, Jorgenson said.
Jorgenson said he was inspecting apartments for violation of a city code which says that no apartment buildings "there shall be not less than two approved, independent exitways . one of which shall be an enclosed stairway."
"If this stairway had been enclosed properly, the girl would probably have gotten out safely," he said.
Jorgenson said that he inspected four complexes Thursday. Two of these were in accordance with the city code but two were not, he said.
The two complexes which were in violation were built under another code, he said, but they do not even meet the requirements of the code under which they were built.
After the inspection of the roughly 20 apartment complexes in Lawrence is complete, Jorgenson said he would go to the city attorney and find out what can be done with the laws that are now in effect.
Jorgenson said he hopes that the apartment owners would be forced to make their buildings comply with the city code.
