Student Faculty Conference Studies KU Scholastic Ills
Problems of enrollment, student faculty relationships, curriculum, and student attitudes were discussed April 24 at the fourth annual student-faculty conference.
Sponsored by the Sachem circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary education fraternity, the conference attempted a further understanding of problems of common interest to $ \textcircled{4} $
of problems of common interest in administration, faculty, and students.
dents.
Patrick H. Thiessen, newly president of the All Student Council, and chairman of the committee on relations between the administration, faculty and students, suggested a betterment of relations between the A.S.C. and the faculty, inclusion of more persons in the student faculty committees, and student-faculty social functions sponsored by the Union committee. Thiessen also asked that some method be devised for holding good professors. He suggested that minutes of the conference be kept, and some of the decisions of the conference be used.
Courses Criticized
"Western civilization, the department of English, and the department of physics, for example, have been criticized for poorly-trained poor techniques of course presentation, and unfair methods of testing," said Bruce Bathurst, chairman of the curriculum committee.
Ralph Kiene, chairman of the pre-enrollment committee, suggested that enrollment be centralized, students be handed a list of their requirements at the door, the advisors approve enrollment prior to the enrollment date, and that the student be given more responsibility.
John Irwin, chairman of student attitudes, suggested that discussion should be pointed toward the basic causes of student dishonesty on quizzes, moral breakdown of students, and poor sportsmanship. Conboy Appoints Committees
William Conboy, discussion moderator, appointed committee chairmen for 1948-49 to work on problems for the student faculty conference to consider. They are relations between the administration, faculty, and students — Patrick Thiessen; curriculum — Bruce Bathurst; pre-enrollment—Ralph Kiene; Student attitudes—John Irwin.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott in summarizing and evaluating the conference, said, "The machinery is set up for closer student-faculty relationships but the students do not take advantage of their opportunities. For instance, last year, I had one visit from the A.S.C. president." Students Want to Work Alone
In support of the committee on relations between administration, faculty, and students it was decided that a report of the conference be sent to various campus committees. Shirley Anne Wellborn, College senior, suggested that the A.S.C. elect members every two years because they could get more done if they served longer terms.
"The trouble seems to be that students want to run off with policies and make decisions all by themselves. They do not realize that a university is a co-operative organization where we all must work together."
"We may return to the plan of having graduating seniors pre- enroll," said Gilbert *Ulmer*, assistant dean of the College. "This system allows us to get the seniors, who must fill last minute requirements, out of the way, and prevents crowding them into closed classes."
Those participating in the conference were Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Raymond Nichols, E.B. Stouffer, L.C. Woodruff, Willa Tompkins, Marcia Habein, Haleb Habin, J. Killen, Kyle Kloez, Tom Yoe, Gilbert Ulmer, D.M. Sworthchott, George B. Smith, Paul Malone, F.J. Moreau, DeWitt Crank, Franklin S. Stoland, J.H. Nelson, D.S. Signaphan.

service under your former branch? The war department is asking this question of organized reserves enrolled at the University.
A poll taken in all organized men's houses revealed that about 35 per cent of male students are in the reserves. About 10 per cent of these have received letters asking if, in case of an emergency, would they voluntarily go on active duty in their former branch of service?
Twelve organized houses have not received any letters although they are almost 40 per cent reserves. The University R.O.T.C. has received no official communication on the letters received by the students.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity has the largest number of organized reserves. They have 32 men in the reserves, and 23 have received letters.

Ban Follows Korean Riots
Kobe, Japan, April 26——(UP) The Kobe-Osaka area, disturbed during the weekend by Korean riots officially blamed on Communist agitation, quieted today as Allied and Japanese authorities banned all further demonstrations.
An order by Allied authorities in Kobe averted a large-scale Korean demonstration today and the U.S. army declared a limited emergency, the first in the occupation of Japan. A similar order was issued in Osaka by Police Chief Eiji Suzuki who warned that violators would be strictly punished.
Total arrests in Kobe so far numbered 1.120. Eight Japanese arrested among the Koreans were registered members of the Communist party. They said they were acting on instructions from party headquarters in Tokyo.
The Japanese, however, remained silent when Kobe base provest marshal asked them if the demonstrations were in any way connected with the forthcoming elections in south Korea May 10.
in Tokyo, a Communist party spokesman said his party supported Korean protests against a Japanese education ministry order closing Korean schools.
Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger U. S. Eighth army commander who flew from Tokyo to take personal command of the situation, said flatly that Japan's Communist party "clearly is the instigator of the riots in the KobeOsaka area."
