High School Visitation Programs Reach Out for New KU Students
By JANET SANTOS
Kansan Staff Writer
The University of Kansas high school visitation program is the initial step to influence students to attend the University, John Mester, director of school relations,
Meyers said there are no formal recruiting plans like those established with the athletic bodies.
The visitation program is the University's effort to communicate with prospective students, he said. The University makes an effort to give students once they show an interest in KIU.
Max Griffin, assistant director of admissions, said that the University makes initial efforts to communicate with students before the application stage and National Merit Scholarship tests.
OTHER THAN THIS, no one actively seeks recruits, Griffin said. He said KU had no other mechanism for identifying possible recruits.
"State schools are tax supported," John Conard, director of University relations, said. "The legislature and regents don t feel that shields should be spent on recruiting efforts."
The main program of the school relations office is college planning conferences, Meyers says. His office works with the admissions office in planning high school programs.
The KU admissions office is a member of the Kansas Association of College Registrars and Admissions Offices. A committee from this organization is coordinated to arrange the high school visits. Griffin said.
THERE ARE 36 HIGH schools across the state that are host schools for various colleges and universities, Griffin said. KU's three colleges, which include mid-October and end in late November.
Each college or university taking part in the college planning programs has several 30-minute presentations, Griffin said. High school students can attend three sessions. A short program is given by the college and students are allowed to ask questions.
A film about KU was produced recently by Bruce Linton, professor of journalism and director of the radio, television, and film program, and four of his students. The film was shown for the first time Oct. 17 at Salina high school by Griffin.
Designed to clean up myths about KU, Meyers said, the film consists of unrehearsed interviews with students in residence halls, sororites, fraternities, apartments and with students on campus. The film also includes some student acctivity.
ALTHOUGH THE film is useful for the programs, the length of it is a problem. Griffin said, because it is 20 minutes long. The question is questions in the allotted 36-minute session.
Griffin said the film should prove to be very favorable when representatives from the University visit the high schools. At this event, Griffin encouraged students exclusively for students interested in KU.
The high school visitation program has proved to be a success, Conard said, because freshman class enrollment has risen by 40%. The data is compared to 2,613 students last year.
These programs usually are presented by various departments or schools.
HIGH SCHOOL students often are exposed to the University through special programs.
If groups of students stop by the admissions office, Griffin said, their individual interests are considered and they are introduced to persons in specific areas
International Club Alleges FBI Action
The University of Kansas International Club has accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation with harassment and intimidation of the club president.
In a statement released Tuesday night, the club said that their president Abdullah Aladaniw, Kuwait, junior, had been "interrogated and threatened" by several FBI agents on three different occasions within the last three weeks.
Both the Kansas City and Lawrence FBI offices refused Wednesday to confirm or demand information.
The dean of women's office also works with these offices and also the Commission on the Status of Women on their annual program, "Beyond High School."
The dean of men's office works with admissions and other offices to provide specific help for male students, Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, said.

KU panelists tell about campus and academic life and the special services offered.
Meyer said that a specific department or school at KU might make an effort to work with high school students who are outstretched in their care that such students could be identified.
Although most of the KU college planning programs are aimed at high school students, Griffin said, there is a limited program for junior colleges.

MORRIS KAY
The only Candidate for Governor with Solutions
to our Problems
KAY STANDS FOR: PRESERVING & RENEWING OUR ENVIRONMENT
*'Kansans wish to cherish and protect our clean air and clean water. We want to hold to the beauties of our land. We must concern ourselves with the very safety of the sound.*
"To stop the pollution of our environmental assets requires strong leadership. At present, the energy is expended in confusion, intolerance and misdirection. What is clearly needed are policies for environmental administration."
Government will also take our legislature to establish one clear center of state authority with respect to the issues we must have to tackle. With respect to the current fragmentation and establish such a central center of state authority, we must have the courage to粘 together the current fragmentation and establish such a central center of state authority.
"The Morris Kay Administration will continue the drive to redeem land razed by strip mining; encourage the march of industrial progress by considering investment credits to progressive industry which installs forward-looking pollution control machinery; advance the dispersion of solid waste; and encourage standards of water quality."
"The development of recreational facilities and the conservation of our natural resources will be major goals of the Kay Administration.
"We call for the orderly, planned development of recreational, sporting and leisure opportunities, with very light control to protect our environment."
We welcome and encourage the establishment of the Governor's board committee to broaden participation and advance education and involvement.

participation and advance intensified safe boating education and involvement. "We believe that Kansas sportsmen are dedicated to preserving the best in our wildlife
"Recognizing the importance of the Fish and Game Commission we insist that this commission be removed from the Fish and Game Commission, which has been assigned to conduct qualifications to reflect balanced representation from each area of sporting, conservation, hunting, and fishing activity will be accomplished."
"We support a sound, thoroughly researched and developed overall plan for utilization of our conservation resources."
A CONSUMER BILL OF RIGHTS
I am concerned with the rights of every family. In today's society we must take cognizance of the problems of the con-
suming of our family and of our business. We need to understand that we are strongly the position of the reputable businessman. The overwhelming majority of our businessmen support such action, which is often unacceptable in a world where respect for human life is paramount.
Governor, I will appoint a special representative consumer committee including businessmen, homemakers, students, representatives and managers in the center of custody of衣服, wage assignments, consumer leases, enforcement of consumer-credit violations, warranty legislation, compliance and enforcement of consumer credit laws.
"Such basics as a consumer hot line to enable consumers around the state to have direct access to the appropriate agency of state government would establish the spirit of active concern and institute people-to-police government.
"Our goal in all this is to cut through red tape of procedure to protect both consumer and businessman as each seeks to encourage the confidence that builds prosperity for all."
Morris Kay . . . The man who will bring all Kansans together to build a still better State.
