Senior Girls Too May Enter KU
Senior girls as well as boys will be advanced from the high schools of Kansas to college training at the beginning of the second semester, if the recommendation of a committee of the State Board of Education is accepted by the board.
The plan is a part of an eight-point suggestion which, at the outset, provided that high school senior boys be admitted to college at the mid-year to speed up their education preparatory to military service.
Higher ranking seniors would be recommended by high school principals on the basis of character, record of achievement, and promise of success. If accepted by colleges, they could take a course that would serve as both credit on the high school diploma and as the freshman year of college.
President F. D. Farrell of Kansas state College said the state schools already had approved the plan. He estimated not more than one per cent of the high school seniors in the state would participate the first year.
Not an Experiment
The conference said it recommended the acceleration policy "as an emergency preparation for war service and not as a basis of general educational experimentation."
Recommendations will be given to the State Board of Education, which said further discussion on the subject would be conducted for smaller high schools, junior colleges and other private colleges not represented yesterday.
The conference was called by Geo L. McClenny, state superintendant of public instruction, at the request of the federal government which is anxious that the schools co-operate to meet the need of the national emergency for more technically trained young men.
The eight-point recommendation is as follows:
(1) We recommend in general acceptance of the policy of acceleration as proposed by the Policy Commission. (a) We believe that this is necessary in order to insure the selection of properly qualified pupils for college preparation. (b) We approve it as an emergency preparation for war service and not as a basis of general educational experimentation.
(2) We recommend that the prerequisites for admission to college be based upon the recommendation of the high school principals as determined by the student's character, record of achievement and promise of success.
(3) We recommend that only students of senior rank be accepted for this program.
(4) We recommend that sufficient time should be allowed for the development of courses and administrative procedures and therefore suggest that this program be put in operation at the close of this school year in May or June.
(5) In consideration of their youth and immaturity, we recommend to college authorities that special care be given in helping the students make their social adjustment.
(6) We recommend that a liberal scholarship aid policy be instituted by the coleges to take care of those who are qualified to participate in this program but lack financial means.
(7) We recommend that the State Board of Education, secure the views
'We Can't Get Along Without Newspapers' Mayor Laguardia
New York, (INS)—M mayor F. H.
LaGuardia whose fights with newspapermen are legend around New York's city hall, is convinced today that "we can't get along without newspapers."
The mayor made that comment to news photographers following ending of a strike of newspaper delivery which kept eight city papers off the street. Later, however, he added to reporters:
"I'm glad it's over. Now we can read the funnies."
Philadelphia, (INS) — Phil Kaye,
master of ceremonies of an entertainers group touring the USO circuits,
has been arrested on a complaint charging him with being a violator of the selective service act,
the FBI announced today.
Draft Dodger Is No Kin--Says Kaye
In revealing Kaye's arrest, authorities said he told them he was a brother of Sammy Kaye, the noted orchestra leader. This, however, was denied by Kaye's associates, who stated emphatically that "Sammy has no brother."
of all types of high schools and colleges before taking action.
(8) The committee realizes that the program of acceleration, recommended above, ministers to a relatively small group of high school students. Many high schools in the state of Kansas have already revised their courses of study and included preinduction courses and a physical fitness course at the recommendation of the Army and Navy. We command the high schools who have thus strengthened their courses and recommend that other high schools follow their leadership. This reorganization will meet the needs of the large mass of high school pupils who are not able to attend college.
Eight In Speech Final Tomorrow
"Universities and the War Effort" will be the subject for the finals in the special all-University speaking contest at 8:30 tomorrow evening in Frasher hall. The contest is sponsored jointly by the department of speech and drama and the Forums Board.
Seventeen students tried out with four minute speeches in Fraser hall Thursday evening. From this group the following eight were selected for the finals: Eugene Shearp, College freshman; Jean Fisher, College sophomore; Bob Hutchinson, College sophomore; Willis Tompkins, Business senior; Catherine Fruin, Education junior; Bill Conboy, College freshman; Edith Fleming, College junior; and Robert Akey, College junior.
Judges for the final contest will be Gerald Pearson of the Extension Division, Prof. Walter Sandelius of the department of political science, and Prof. John Hankins of the department of English.
Twenty dollars in cash prizes will be awarded to the three highest ranking speakers—$10 first, $7 second, and $3 third. The prizes are awarded by the Forums Board.
Merrill Peterson, College senior is chairman for the contest. The contest is open to the public.
This contest is taking the place on the annual Campus Problems Speaking Contest which has been held each year for 17 years. Its purpose is to poll student expression and thought about the problems that face college students today.
