Emerging Middle Class Changes English Schools
Page 5
An emerging middle class, the desperate need for scientists and the wave of college age youths are pushing this age-old aristocratic system to the background. England, today, is revolutionizing higher education to meet these challenges.
ROBERT VOSPER, director of KU libraries, said this yesterday at the Faculty Forum luncheon. Speaking to 37 faculty members in the Kansas Union, Mr. Vosper said he could better comment on the English libraries than on higher education, "but the changes in education are apparent to even the first-time visitor."
The traditional English educational system is hastily dying.
Mr. Vosper traveled extensively in Europe and England on a one year sabbatical leave last year.
A close parallel to the American educational situation was drawn when Mr. Vosper said the tremendous student bulge in population is due to the increase in desire for an education, the need for more trained scientists and extended opportunities for education under the Labor Party.
"THERE IS an increase in the number of students from families with no university experience—the working or manual labor class," he said.
Another part of the change is the Increased scholarship aid to students.

"I was told as many as 90 per cent in some schools received scholarship support. Before World War II, the local government issued 1,500 and now there are 10,000 scholarships." Mr. Vosper said.
Despite the surge and revolution, all traditions have not been forsaken.
Mr. Vosper said there is no common, "garden-type" variety of student in England as exists in America, the student who works his way through school.
"THE UNIVERSITY GRANTS Committee (the governoring educational board) has estimated a 100 per cent increase in enrollment by 1970. It has recommended that two-thirds of all students should come into the sciences." Mr. Vosper said.
The increased student aid is combined with an increased demand for scientists.
"Some still object to a student working. This makes it hard on my colleagues in the libraries there when they can't have student help."
An open forum discussion, "Where Do Candidates Stand on Civil Rights?" will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the basement of the Community Building at 11th and Vermont streets.

Puerto Rican Catholic Voters Confused by Pastoral Letters
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Catholic Magazine America said in an editorial today that American Catholics have been "profoundly confused and bewildered"—not to say embarrassed — by the action of the Bishops of Puerto Rico."
THE JESUIT-EDITED weekly review said mainland Catholics "are in a state of considerable ignorance" concerning the "peculiar circumstances" in Puerto Rico which prompted the Catholic bishops there to issue pastoral letters forbidding Catholics to vote for the party headed by Gov. Luis Munoz Marin.
It added that the situation in Puerto Rico "must indeed be grave" because "in a healthy democracy,

such a step as that taken by the Puerto Rican bishops can only be viewed as a profound disruption of normal political processes."
THE MAGAZINE said that no mainland Catholic "should presume to pass definitive judgment on actions taken by responsible church leaders in distant regions under circumstances difficult to evaluate."
But it said American Catholics "can and must decide whether such a course can be regarded as a model of what is proper for their own country."
