PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS APRIL 17,1947 After 40 Years, Crawford Still Enjoys Teaching Forty years is a long time to teach English history. Prof. C. C. Crawford of the history department admits that it is but he says that he still enjoys it. Born In Illinois It was in September, 1908, that Professor Crawford, equipped with one new unfurnished PiD6, one year's teaching experience at M. U., and a bride of one year, descended on K.U. And he's been here ever since. ___ Born in Pike County, Ill., he received his early education in Racine, Kas, and was graduated from K. U. with the class of 1899. He received his A. M. here, in history, naturally, and then went to the University of Wisconsin for the coveted degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It was there that he met and married Elizabeth. Forty years may have brought a lot of change to K. U. but students are about the same, Professor Crawford thinks. Asked if he ever got bored teaching English history year after year, he retorted. "In fact," he says with a reminiscent grin, "I had the marriage license in my pocket when I went in to take my final exam for the doctor's degree." "No, but I've learned to tell which students in the class are bored. I can tell those who are interested, too. And you know, sometimes if they even pretend to look interested, I appreciate it." Changes in K. U. Professor Crawford heads a Phi Beta Kappa family. Mrs. Crawford wears a key as do the two sons, both K. U. graduates. Richard is now senior statistician for the Commerce Department in Washington, College of an insurance firm in Kansas City. Notebook: Hola, K. J. Veterans Help K. U. Professor Crawford feels that the University has profited by this year's invasion of veterans. He believes they are far superior to the veterans who attended college after the last war. He relates that he mentioned the seriousness of the veterans about education to one of the boys in his class. The vet, whose wife took advantage of the years she was separated from him to complete her education, retorted. "If you think I'm serious, you should hear the little woman." Professor Crawford says he has found new experiences in instructing each new class of students. But the one he most recently enjoyed was the class of Navy veterans he taught last spring. "Most of them had been around the world several times," he grims, "And by the time the course was over, they had taught me a few things." Four University students and Miss Hermina Zipple, Memorial Union director, returned Saturday from a national conference of College unions at Champaign, Ill. KU Union Delegation Returns From Illinois Joan Woodward, president of the Memorial Umo executive board, reported progress in discussions on student union operations, use, and construction. The group took part in panel discussions on the changing functions of College unions, changes brought on by postwar needs, individualized services versus social activities, and the union as a University division of social education. Speakers at the conference included Prof. Gobel Gobels, former chairman of the Illini board, a formative member of the faculty of men at the University of Illinois. The Kansas delegation included Miss Woodward, Miss Hermina Zipple, Union director; Sue Webster, secretary-treasurer; LuAnne Powell, chairman; and Thornton Cooke.

Washington. —(UP)— The house Unamerican activities committee recently put the Communist brand on the American Youth for Democracy and offered to help expose A.Y.D. leaders on campuses where the organization is active. A.Y.D. Branded 'Red' By House Committee The committee said the A.Y.D. claims 16,194 members in 60 colleges in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin—and the District of Columbia Committee chairman J. Parnell Thomas, Republican, New Jersey, said copies of the report will be sent to every college and university in the nation and to each of the 48 governors and state legislatures. What should be done with A.Y.D. was left up to them. But the report did say that colleges and universities where A.Y.D is active should thoroughly expose 'the Communist' connection with the Communist party. The report charged that many officers of the A.Y.D. formerly held key posts with the Young Communist league. These same officers, it said, now are making policy for the A. Y. D. which has "aperd" the program and constitution of the Communist league. Meter Blows Top At Sunnyside The lights were on again at Sun side Wednesday.
