Dear Editor:
University Daily Kansan
We figure that it is about time that somebody said something. Here it is.
Vet Attacks Credit Policy Veteran Reproaches Special Committee Service Credit Policy Evaluates War Credit
If you spent six months or more on some college campus, taking college courses in college subjects under college professors in the cadet training detachment, the advanced standing board will allow you to take the final exam in any of those subjects. No credit is given unless you take the exam here in addition to the one you took upon completion of the course.
The advanced standing board of the University of Kansas has set down a "policy" on granting service credits. That policy, while not too inconsistent, is really sad. The method of granting service credits is pretty hard to understand.
How many students at K.U. could pass the final in a subject they took two years ago?
Show me the way to go home. A Kappa trio, set out for Kaysee Saturday on a shopping spree. They had every intention of returning to Lawrence before dusk to keep their dates, but what with a pledge at the wheel, they wound up as 'outrists in Pleasantville, Mo. Several fellows had plenty of time to cool their heels at the Theta and Deegee open houses before the girls found their way home to Gower Place about midnight.
If the board does not feel that sufficient work was covered by any given school to warrant full credit in a subject, let them pro-rate the credit accordingly.
But I can explain everything.—A Phi Gam was tucked away in his bed Friday morn, his little jalopy resting peacefully in front of the premises (for the first time since 2 a. m.). Now how is he going to explain that a big bad and slightly "happy" driver quietly dented in the back end of the family bus when it was parked on sonny's doorstep?
Lovely view—As the football squad wended its way into Milwaukee over the weekend, Dick Bertuzzi popped his head out the window and caught a glimpse of
How about somebody doing something about this mess—but quick?
If universities all over the country are taking this attitude, as the board intimates, it seems that it is an outright admission that colleges today aren't getting anything across to their students. In that case, it would pay the returning veteran to go right to work instead of wasting valuable time and money by going to college.
Rock Chalk Talk
Sincerely,
Many tired vets.
(Editor's Note: The writer of the above letter listed the names of five veterans attending the University who are dissatisfied with the method of granting credits at K.U.)
The first copy of a new art bulletin from Spooner-Thayer museum will be published soon as an issue of the weekly University newsletter, Mrs. Margaret Warner, museum curator, said today.
By JOAN HARRIS
Art Bulletin Will Be Printed
As University Newsletter
The purpose of the eight-page bulletin, which will be sent to all organized houses and heads of departments of the University, is to acquaint its readers with museum activities.
Special credit problems are handled through the armed forces credit committee set up by the University Senate on October 4. The committee, composed of Dr. L. H. Axe, director of the Veteran's Service bureau; Dr. Guy V. Smith, professor of mathematics; and D. D. Haines, professor of civil engineering, is in charge of special problems concerning credit for military service and credit for technical and specialized training received in service which might apply toward a degree from the University.
The George B. Tuttle report, "Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services," is used as a guide in determining credit. The report lists and explains all types of training given in the armed forces and gives estimates of such training in the terms of college credit. It is used by many state schools.
Only one applicant out of more than 75 interviewed has objected to the committee's evaluation of credits, according to Dr. Axe, chairman. Immediate attention and personal interviews are available always to any veteran with credit problems.
The committee has authority to give credit on the basis of its evaluation of the military record of the applicants. Credit recommendations are accepted by the registrar and advanced standing board.
The DAILY KANSAN welcomes any comment or information on the matter of service credit from both veterans attending K.U. and those in charge of granting such credit.
Jan Chiapusso, piano professor,
presented his annual recital last
night in Fraser theater before a near
capacity audience which brought him
back for five curtain calls.
Chiopusso Plays Recital For Enthusiastic Audience
"The committee is still studying the cadet training detachment mentioned in the letter," Dr. Axe said. "But 90 per cent of the students who have had it and are coming back to college say it is really 'high school stuff.'"
Mr. Chiapusso played a variety of classical numbers. He received the traditional basket of assorted fruit from his students.
Chinese and Japanese use masks instead of make up on the stage.
Lake Michigan. "Behold, me hearty sailors," he shouted to K.U.'s "navy" team—"In case you have never seen a boat sailing in water, you'd better take a look so you can go home and tell the other fellows about it."
Maybe she isn't inspired—Professor Wheeler was lecturing on "goals", his purple tie-flashing as he stalked around his desk."You need a major which inspires you to work," quoth he.
The veteran in the back row said that he was inclined to agree, but his wife, a zoology major, doesn't even know how to boil water.
Popularity queen—Everybody in the Theta house fights over who gets to room with Bev Stucker. She is a very sweet girl, but the true secret of her success is the fact that whoever buns with Bev always winds up married before the semester is over. It happened last year, and again this year.
Overheard on a bus—“Kitty's such a sweet kid, but she takes up so much of my time—I used to make straight A's before I met her—Of course, she's so darn cute, with those big blue eyes and her convertible—I can't ever get anything done trying to keep up with her—she sure looks reet in green.” Second person—“Yea.”
First person—"You talked me into it—I'm going to ask her to go steady."
Ouch! According to a Kansas weekly newspaper, you can't insult the modern girl by telling her her hair looks like a mop she doesn't know what a mop looks like.
That's telling him Pop. And then there's the studious K.U. freshman who wrote home that he needed an encyclopedia for school. His father's reaction: "Encyclopedia, nothing, you can walk to classes like I did."
Letters to the Editor Tables Not Reserved For Groups in Library
University Daily Kansan Dear Editor:
Dear Editor:
Recently a student seeking to study in the library was told by other students that the table at which he sat was reserved for their organized group.
I wish to inform the entire student body that at no time has the library reserved tables for special groups.
Students are free to sit wherever they wish in the reading rooms provided they study and do not disturb others. Any interference with this right should be reported at once to the director.
C. M. Baker, Director of Libraries.
