Extension Has Top Program In US Colleges
A great emphasis will be placed on non-credit courses for adults in evening colleges and university extension divisions throughout the country, 40 extension deans decided in New Orleans recently.
"In this regard," said Dean Frank T. Stockton, who attended the conference for K.U. "our Extension has the most substantial program in the country.
"Many state universities are situated in large cities and their extension or evening colleges stress courses which can be taken for credit toward a degree. But K.U.'s extension program is state-wide and emphasizes courses which a person can take to aid him or her in the home, or for self-improvement in general," he said.
Dean Stockton spoke at the conference on "Looking Ahead." He explained the need of giving a different name to university extensions.
"We should adopt the name that the University of Maryland uses," he said. "The name of their extension implies a continuation of study beyond day-college work. The name is 'College of Special and Continuation Studies.'"
He said Harvard, California, and Illinois universities use K.U.'s title, "University Extension."
"Indiana university has at least three areas in which state programs are coordinated with those of local schools. University Extension has two such co-operative programs with the University of Wichita." Dean Stockton said.
Battle Rages Near Suchow
Suchow, Nov. 17—(UP) — This north Kiangsu defense bastion of the Chinese Nationalist government is as quiet today as if it were hundreds of miles from a battle zone.
A casual visitor dropped here would have no inkling that nearly one million men, Nationalists and Communist troops, are locked in desperate see-saw battles east and south of this city that may determine the fate of Nanking, capital of Nationalist China. Along the front extending from a point 25 miles east of Suchow at Sunken to Sinanchen, 50 miles east of Suchow, one of the biggest battles of the China war is being fought.
Within 20 miles south of Suchow, the big guns of both sides are roaring in artillery duels, towns are afire, Nationalist tanks and armored cars are lobbing shells into Communist-held villages in a steady rain and Nationalist air forces bombers are swooping in low over Red artillery positions and dropping demolition bombs.
Flying into Suchow, one can see how the fighting already has slashed the government's lifeline railroad from Nanking at vital spots. Long steel spans over river after river are in ruins. Long strings of loaded railway cars lie overturned, little more than pieces of twisted wreckage Locomotives lie spilled on their side
Lt. David Tang, a fighter pilot of the Third Nationalist Fighter group, described the situation as he saw it from the cockpit of a P-51 Mustang. He has been flying strafing missions during the past 48 hours.
"It's been quiet all around Suchow for two days now," he said. "The situation is getting better. The Reds closest to Suchow, about 20 miles, are to the south. But it's in the east where most of the fighting is now going on.
"Fifty miles east of here at Sianchen, the Communists have trapped three army groups under Gen. Wing Pa-Tao with about 40,000 men. Our main forces in Suchow are now fighting eastward to try to relieve them.
