These findings were reached in a survey made for the Ford Foundation.
The survey showed that the expected cost per child for each year of college in Kansas is $1,375. Sixty per cent of the parents interviewed had no savings plan specifically for the purpose of sending their children to college.

The computation center announced today that a "short course" will be offered for the operation of the IBM 350 digital computer.
The course, taught by Gene Pulley,

Starting next Thursday, the course

the current prediction that college and university enrollments will increase from 3.7 to 6.5 million by 1970 may be on the low side."
"In the lifetime of the typical American family, the outlay for college and the buying of a home are the two largest investment expenditures," he said.

The topics covered will be electronic data processing machines, the computer and data flow, basic programming and additional electronic features, symbolic assembly programs, and demonstrations of a practical computer problem.

The president of the Class of '24 will speak tonight at the Senior Class executive board banquet in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
According to the Roper report, parents with no college savings plan were asked what they planned to do about college expenses.
Twenty-five per cent said they hadn't had a chance to think about it; 11 per cent, they would set up a college savings plan; 23 per cent, they would use general savings; 30 per cent, they would use current income, and 10 per cent said the children will take care of if themselves. Nine per cent gave other answers. Some parents apparently will use two or more sources.
The median national percentage of children expected to attend college was 69 per cent. The median cost was $1,450 per school year.
