"Leave Automobiles at Home," Chancellor Requests in Letters
Motor Car Is Not Necessary to Student Life, Lindley Tells Parents
Letters saying that students refrain from bringing their cars to Lawrence with them, were sent out to all students of the University and their parents before the first of school, by Chancellor E. H. Lindweir.
The Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Government Association of the University called attention to the desirability of still further reducing the number of cars on the campus last spring.
(3) The automobile, in a student community, becomes a special private vehicle in twenty, and is out of keeping with the democratic spirit which should be built.
The letter as sent out:
To the Students of the University of
Kansas, and Their Parents:
(2) That by opening the way to a more tempring social life, the automobile is likely to interfere seriously with traffic flow.
(3) The student's summary obligation.
Four years ago the student Senate Council and the Women's Self Government Association of the University of Kentucky, the campus as a "huxury," and as "not necessary to student life." Last spring the Men's Club argues that students should still further reducing the number of cars on the campus. Their reasons
(1) That is in a town the size of Lawrence. The motor car is not needed in the program of the average student. (2) This means the only cause for its necessity.
The legitimate expenditure of a student at the University of Kansas varies from $450 to $800 per year. In most institutions of similar standing, the University would rather see the figure lowered than raised, not mistaken for actual costs, but because of limited funds, but because our chief moral and eminence hazards are most likely to be found among students who spend more money on their studies.
The limited parking space at the University resulted in sprouting a small collection of very early parked on the campus, and license was granted only when the need for more parking was met. Even more stringent licensing regulations may be necessary in the course of time.
Other well known institutions have tenuated action forbidding the use of cars on the campus. We beech these students and their parents will solve the problem for Kansas by volunteering to use of automobiles in college life.
Such a solution will be more effective than any other can possibly be in a student environment.
In these days of economic stress in the U.S., students are encouraged to university will co-operate to make life here on the campus as efficient, as wholesome, as inexpensive and as flexible.
Cordially yours,
E. H. LINDLEY,
Chancellor
University Graduates Aided by Teachers' Appointment Bureau
Places Secured for Students Each Year; Work Begun in 1903
Since the teachers' appointment bureau was established at the University in 1963, for the benefit of graduates, many students have been aided in their studies. The students' bureau is in close touch with superintendents and principals throughout the state and handles the applications for admission and getting work in the field of teaching.
This year, so far, the bureau has succeeded in placing over one hundred secure positions for a good many more. From 200 to 250 applicants are placed each year, according to H. Johnson, secretary of the bureau.
Professor Johnson has been with the bureau since its start in 1903. At that time, he was a high school visitor or inspector and aided in the establishment of the state. Out of this work, the University established the teachers' appointment bureau and Professor Johnson was made secretary of the appointment committee as he was to become the chair of the state by the nature of his work.
At this time there was no School of Education, there being merely a college with only two departments; the college and the appointment committee was a college senate committee. Before this time, the various departures were instituted in securing teaching positions.
In 1915, the state took over the work of the inspection of high schools and the University dropped the high school term. In 1924 it timed the appointment bureau, which has grown rapidly since its start in 1603. All the work of the bureau is done without charge and no records are maintained outside themselves of its service.
