Turney Outlines Plan to Measure Education Values
LAWRENCE, KANSAS; WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1833
Purpose Would Be to Make Standards for Accrediting Collegiate Institutions
In an effort to measure the product of education, A. H. Turney, professor of education, outlined a proposed plan at the meeting of the W.S.G.A. last night. He solicited the co-operation of both student governning bodies. Professor Turney will be needed between 140 and 290 sophomores will be needed to aid in the experiment.
The immediate purpose of the plan is to try to set up standards for accrediting institutions. According to Professor Turney, universities have been accredited by such standards as the value of plant, income, equipment, training and experience that have been any adequate criterion for measuring the outcome of education.
"There has been a general misunderstanding." Professor Turney declared, "as to testing programs and unless we can obtain the co-operation of the students the data would have no real value. I am certain that the adverse effects of this and women on campus is due entirely to misunderstanding. We want student aid and cooperation and without that we can do nothing."
The speaker stated that when one deals with the product of the outcome of education he gets close to the problems of curriculum and method. Mr. Turney feels that the proposed test increases student and faculty cooperation.
A temporary committee has been appointed to decide upon the feasibility of this proposed plan. Paul B. Lawson, George C. Shaad, D. M. Swarthout, and Professor Turney will be in charge of the investigation. Under the provisions of this project, tests will be performed May 23, special science, natural science and reading. Examinations in French and German will come at a later date. Approximately 4 or $ \frac{4} {5} $ hours will be necessary to complete the test.

Faculty Restores Required Exercise to College Course
New Rule Will Take Effect Next Semester; Graduation Prerequisites Are Raised
"Gym," for years required of all students in the College of Liberal Arts, but without credit, and dropped entirely as a compulsory subject a year before he joined to the College curriculum by the College faculty at its meeting last night.
Rule Receives Much Study
Under the new rule, credit is to be given for the courses offered in physical education, and requirements for graduation have been correspondingly increased. Thus, up to June, 1936, the requirements for graduation from the College shall be 122 hours, of which two hours may be exercise, and after that the College requirement shall be 124 hours, of which not more than four may be in physical education. The requirements of 124 hours for College students seeking teachers' diplomas are correspondingly increased.
The new rule is the result of a year's consultation on the part of the physical education department and the administrative committee of the College. It is proposed that "exercise" be hereafter called "physical education," and that "hygiene" be called "health instruction." The latter subject, now given for one semester, is to be lengthened into a one-year subject.
In the freshman year, students are to enroll in two hours of physical education and one hour of health instruction, the three hours a week to give one credit hour. In the sophomore year, students are enrolled in classroom classes, which meet three times a week. The freshman courses are prerequisite to the sophomore work.
Student to Have Choice
The physical education courses have been so arranged that the student may select one outdoor and one indoor course in the fall semester, and one indoor and one outdoor in the spring. The grade of the student will usually be based on the course (3) ability to execute definite skills, and (3) written examinations.
With the increase of the number of hours required for graduation, grade-points are raised accordingly, with 124 grade points needed for the general College degrees, and 128 for the University teachers diploma.
Normal Program Outlined
For the so-called combined degrees,
it is required that the student present
94 hours of College work and 94 grade
work. These courses are Medicine,
64 hours and 64 grade points.
Included in the readjustment of hours required for graduation is a section specifying the normal program in the various class years. Under the new program, 15 hours is still considered a normal College program, with the normal minima and absolute maxima as follows: Freshmen, 12 to 17 sophomores, 12 to 17 academic hours; Juniors and seniors, 12 to 18 hours.
