Hectic World Alters College Life But Not Human Nature, Prof Says
By JERRY ESSLINGER Korean Staff Writer
Students at the University of Kansas are much the same today as they were decades ago, but even more recently, at the years have radically changed their lifetimes, according to one University of Kansas professor who has been interested in the university for more than 50 years.
When Laurence Wooldruff, professor emeritus of entomology and biology at the University in 1903, a few thousand students were enrolled at the University and students 'thought they knew every one on cam'
Woodruff, who since then has
been an administrator and teacher at KU, said that as a biologist he didn't think human nature had changed much, but that the 'fast-moving world' had been the main object on students and everyone else.
DEVELOPMENTS in science and research have made today's students more conscious of world issues. They are also their professional training, Woodruff said. Possibly because of the free time that students had during school years, they were only morning classes at the University, there was a greater emphasis on organized social affairs on campus at that time, he said.
"We had dances all the time—
tea dances, midweek dances
downtown varsity dances, and

Fong "fled," he said.
A frequent diversion from study or boredom at that time was the "imprompu rally."
"Someone would holler 'Rally! Rally!' and everyone would pick皮 run out on Jaya-hawk off off some steam." Woordruff said.
In the 1930s students actually started what was considered a radical student magazine, "The Student Journal." The idealism, Woodruff recalled
THE '508 were characterized by a "carefree attitude" on campus and the panty-raid was the
favorite pastime, Wooldruff said. At one time, he said, a group of male students were blocked from coming on campus for a panty-shift, so they went to Baker University to carry out their intentions.
Woolfrud said that despite all the extracurricular activity that he had engaged in, he thought the goal of the University had remained the same—to produce a teacher who provides professional training.
"When I was a student," Woodard said, "all kinds of physicist studies. We were all those of us who clambers up the hill each day didn't think we were as smart."
It's not easy for a prospective teacher to acquaint herself with a large university, the versatility of Kansas. So, the Office of School Relations ties facili-
The office was set up in the summer of 1978 by a group of prospective KU students, their parents, counsellors and high schools, accorded respect.
The office's liaison work has many facets. It often assists other offices, such as the Office of Finance and the Association, with their programs.
School Relations Office Acts as Liaison
Assisting the Alumni Association with the Kasana Hons Band, sending information to prospective freshmen and coordinated group of high school students are among the jobs of the office.
The Alumni Association started the honors banquets last spring to
recognize the outstanding academic accomplishments of Kansas high school students.
Last spring there were 16
state colleges and 16 state
involving more than
students. Myers said the number
banquets would double next
The office recently placed an ad in the alumni newspaper asking alumni to send them the names of prospective freshmen.
The students are selected by their high schools. An alumnus contacts each student, takes him to the banquet and pays for his meal.
At the banquet the students each receive a certificate of recognition. A speaker from KU is featured at the dinner.
Meyers said one of the best sources of new students was students now enrolled at KU. He urged students with brothers and sisters.
First Homecoming for KU...
A controversy has arisen over the sale of tickets for the KU-MU game during the previous week. Student ticket prices had gone up in price because it cost of the homecoming game. However, for the Missouri game, students were asked to pay an extra dollar to get a seat in what would have been the section. The protest from students was loud and vigorous.

fisters or friends interested in KU to contact him.
The day before the KU-KState game, Oct. 25, an attempt was made to revive the spirits of the students. The University Council's ruler was temporarily suspended and a morning rally was held.
Following the game, two of KU'S top players were sideline for several weeks because of injuries. Two others were pulled out of play temporarily on a question of "eligibility in their study."
On Oct. 19 KU lost its third game, against Drake, by a score of 6-0.
But football was the main topic of interest on the campus.
At the morning rally before the K-State game, manager Hamilton rose before the faculty and the student body to defend his policy. The extra dollars were called for in the contract, he said. "Everything has been required to pay the same amount the previous year."
The speech of the morning, however, came from "Uncle

Among the groups of high school students that the office has assisted are Teachers of America and an English class, which came to use Wasson Library at the office library. The office provides consultations with professors.

The next afternoon KU beat K-State at Manhattan. When train returned to Lawrence a large crowd was at the station.
The recent ruling of the athletic association of Northwestern University requiring coeds who attend football games to be unaccompanied by gentlemen is under consideration, and be introduced at KU; in the opinion of KU's cheerleader Chuck Dolde, the Kansas reported.
In Lawrence, members of the University community discussed how to make the most of students' enthusiasm at the agmes.
At the end of October the University Alumni Association in Topeka announced that it would buy a video game, which was only a month away. The group also planned a new national YMCA building in Topeka.
But KU lost its game to Oklahoma by one point the next day. Woodrow Wilson was elected
"And it will be no hardship for anyone. Kansas is sure to beat Missouri, and who will want to go to bed? And what student could imagine three-in-a-bed on such an occasion?" the editorial asked.
Another editorial called on students to show their loyalty on the homecoming weekend by taking the crimson and the blue.
Missouri and Kansas were already traditional rivals by 1912. The teams had tied 5-5 and 3-3 in
president and women's suffrage came to a vote. That Saturday KU lost to Washburn.
As the homecoming game approached, students were requested to properly care for the extra rooms asked to double up and volunteer the extra rooms for guests. The section of town where most students lodged was canvassed by Councils to locate empty rooms.
"This is the first test of a homecoming every year, and unless it works for you, it's great shape, and unless the alumni feel that they are heartily welcomed by the student body. It works," he said in final test," the Karan warned.
At the Nebraska game, and at the station afterwards, the Kansans 'gave vent to an expression of school spirit the equal of which would be difficult to find. Even the girls overcame their natural reserve and broke into patriotic fury. The KU lost in Nebraska by 11 points.
"Then came Jimmy. The great audience stood when he asked him to speak. He was as confident of victory at the rest of the speakers as he was."
"He guaranteed to the students that the game tomorrow would be even better than last time," said officials. The meeting then adjourned to the campus to burn the fire.
"The building was packed with students, bubbling over with enthusiasm," the Kansan reported. "We had a confidence of victory. The teachers from the faculty apparently had no idea of defeat and warned the students not to go to excess in the celebration after the game." Now before he has the spirit of the Booth fighting spirit, been so aroused.
At the game the Thundering Thousand and other Kansas backers roared their cheers and opinions from the west and south bleachers and boxes. The Mishawaka north side of the field. Over 12,000 people were there to see the game.

At 2:25 the Missouri team arrived on the field. Two minutes later Kansas joined them.
Amid the chant of the crowd, Kansas kicked off and recovered the ball. After the first ten minutes of play, Missouri led with three points, but that换回来 scored. The score throughout the afternoon. The Jayhawks scored a 12-point victory.

"Let us see the question: Is it good for us and for our Alma Mater to sing songs and use language that give offence to large crowds while there is no end of good songs and yells who do not?"
