Dean Heller Tells Audience To Prepare for the Future
"This would be my final plea if this were my last lecture: Look at what you're doing today so as to prepare yourself to face a challenge as yet undefined."
Francis Heller, professor of political science and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, left his audience with the thought that the concept of education today is too shortsighted to keep pace with the revolutionary developments that are inevitable in the future.
He spoke last night at the third in the series of "Last Lectures."
Humorous Comments
Dean Heller's message was punctuated with humorous observations on the plight of the teacher in awakening his charges to the challenge of the future.
"I asked several people what they thought my subject ought to be," he said. "I even asked Dr. Murphy what he would do if he had to give a last lecture. He said. "I already have."
"If I were really giving my last lecture, my first inclination would be to walk into the classroom with a book in my hand." Dean Heller continued. "The book would have a marker in about the middle and I would then proceed to finish the book

Young GOP's To Convention
The KU Young Republicans will be sending 15 delegates to the Midwest Federation of Collegiate Young Republicans, convening in Des Moines, Iowa, tomorrow and Saturday.
Charles McIlwaine, Wichita junior and chairman of the KU organization, said that the campus chapter plans to take an active part in the convention.
He said that Ned Cushing, a KU graduate now serving as national chairman of the Young Republicans, would deliver the keynote address to an estimated 600 delegates from 13 midwestern states.
McIlwaine said the convention will draw up a platform similar to the one framed at the Republican national convention, but he said it would reflect the views of the midwestern states on such matters as the national economy, labor, foreign policy, education and agriculture.
He said that all students interested should contact him as soon as possible. The registration fee for the convention will be $6.50, and will include all meals.
Prison Official Praises KU

Mr. Kaiser described some of the rehabilitation measures taken by federal prisons. He listed the manufacture of shoes and other clothing items sold to the military as examples of the prison's efforts to pay its own expenses and to offer activities for the inmates. Also offered as examples of retraining were programs in art and needlework.
But federal authorities never lose sight of a primary responsibility of the penal system, said Mr. Kaiser.
"We can't forget for a minute that you people, the taxpayers who are giving us $1,500 a year to support each inmate, want us to keep these fellows secure and locked up away from society. It's our job to keep them behind those 40-foot walls."

Dean Heller called for a transition from the traditional concept of education; the ritual of college today merely arming one with the technical skills for use upon graduation.

"As we look ahead and contemplate the tasks in the year 2000, the one thing that must stand out is the frightening sense that we only have a vague notion of what life will be like.
"We assume that life will go on.
even with the present threat of nuclear conflict. But what kind of skills and understanding will you (the student) be called on to use and pass on to succeeding generations?
"The theory that 124 credit hours plus 124 grade points add up to an education is the prevalant attitude," he said. "It adds up to nothing, unless the student takes stock of what he is doing here and meets the challenge of seeking answers to problems he will face in 20 years, not the day after graduation."

The fraternity living district only needed 13 more votes to have qualified for representatives. A total of 676 votes were needed to elect four representatives and 663 votes were cast in the district.
The quota system determines the number of living district representatives. If 75 to 200 votes are cast, one representative is elected. If 201 to 425 are cast, two can be elected. The ratio continues up to ten representatives.

George Tate, Garden City freshman, won first place in last night's intramural speaking contest.
Frosh Wins Speaking Contest
The contest was the first in a series of three which make up the 13th annual Intramural Speaking Contest.
Thirteen contestants representing six Greek houses gave demonstration speeches on subjects ranging from how to select a pair of properly fitting shoes to how to pole vault.
No independent students entered the contest which was open to all students. Twelve men and one woman competed.
Tate demonstrated in his speech the force exerted by hydraulic pressure. He shoved a cork into the mouth of a bottle. He then explained that if the bottle had been full of water it would have shattered because it could not have withstood the pressure caused by the action.
The contest began with a demonstration on how not to open a door. The event was originally scheduled to be held in 102 Strong Hall but was held in 112 Strong when a janitor failed to unlock room 102.
Some contestants brought along
Judges were E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, Cecil Coleman, assistant instructor of speech, and Gary Skinner, Lawrence graduate student.
The informative speaking contest will be held on April 20 and the argumentative contest on April 27.
Hubatsch to Speak Sunday
At the conclusion of the final contest first place trophies will be awarded to the individual winners of the three events. The organized house receiving the most speaker points will receive a trophy.
Walther Hubatsch, visiting history professor from Germany, will speak at the Sunday meeting of the Hillel Foundation on "The Present State of the Jews in Germany." The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. Sunday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
