Grad school dean returns from southern university
William P. Albrecht, dean of the graduate school, recently returned from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he acted as a departmental research consultant, observing departments within the university and evaluating decision-making processes employed by them.
The University of North Carolina is one of 15 universities being studied by the Office of Institutional Research at Michigan State University in a two year departmental study project financed by the Esso Educational Foundation.
Dean Albrecht, who is a consultant for the Office of Institutional Research, said the purpose of the project is to investigate American universities in the departments of English, history, psychology, chemistry, math, electrical engineering and business administration.
While at the university, Dean Albrecht noted the decision-making processes employed by the departments; that is, what decisions were made by the
Jordanian clash ends after truce meeting
BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI)—Armed clashes between Jordanian troops and Arab commandos in Amman, Jordan ended today on the basis of a truce meeting between King Hussein and four guerrilla groups, Arab commando sources said.
The sources said the commandos had agreed to stay out of Amman, submit to Jordanian government checkpoints and refrain from establishing their own checkpoints.
The king conferred with the guerrilla groups Tuesday night, the sources said.
chairman, or consultors, the full professors, certain committees, or the whole department, and whether decisions were made in an autocratic or democratic manner. He said that the quality of the department can be affected by the decision-making processes used.
Dean Albrecht also attended a meeting of the Association of Graduate Schools in San Francisco last month, at which 45 universities were represented.
He said panels discussed the humanities and the social sciences in graduate education, and student participation in university governance.
Dean Albrecht said most of the graduate deans agreed that student representation is a "good thing," although there was some discussion about the precise nature of representation.
"All major universities are concerned with this problem and are trying to do something about it," he said. "Many of them have students on student-faculty committees just as we do."
"The pattern of education in American universities is going to change quite radically in the next few years. Higher education has to be adapted more closely to the needs of society and the individual," he said.
Beginning teachers asked not to accept jobs with starting pay less than $6,500
Student leaders of several KU education organizations met last night in another of a series of planning sessions to outline a program for informing education majors about the $6,500 resolution which received Kansas State Teachers Association (STA) support last Spring.
The group plans to send pamphlets outlining the resolution and giving vital information about the Dec. 5 meeting to all seniors in the School of Education.
The resolution calls for a minimum starting salary of $6,500 for all first-year teachers in Kansas. Under the suggested resolution, beginning teachers are asked not to accept jobs offering less than $6,500. It would become effective with the 1969-70 school term.
Cathy Cain, Sublette senior and 2nd vice president of the SEA, said the group hopes to inform seniors of the importance of the resolution and, at the same time, rally wide student
The group, spearheaded by officers of the Student Education Association (SEA), Mu Epsilon Nu, and several organizations for future educators in specialized areas, is planning an informative meeting Dec. 5 to familiarize seniors in the School of Education with the measure.

Last night the group made tentative plans concerning the agenda of the meeting. They hope to present a brief explanation of the resolution and entertain a question and answer session through a panel of students and representatives of the KSTA.
Mike May, Parsons senior and
a member of both SEA and Mu Epsilon Nu, suggested that a KSTA representative inform the gathering of action being taken at other Kansas schools
Measures to convince boards of education of the necessity of the pay increase that might be enacted by individual students seeking jobs may be presented at the December meeting.
all MBA's are not the same
Investigate Washington University
All M.B.A. programs are not alike. The Master of Business Administration Program at Washington University has an experienced and nationally known faculty. Big enough to offer the very best in graduate instruction, it has been kept small enough to permit attention to the needs of individual students.
The Graduate School of Business offers a unique M.B.A. program designed especially to meet the need of graduates of non-business undergraduate schools such as engineering and liberal arts.
Scholarships and assistantships are available. Send for an illustrated brochure and discover that all M.B.A. programs are not alike.
Dr. J. George Robinson will be on campus Thursday, Nov.14 9:30-5:00 Contact Placement Office, Business School for interview arrangements.
In the 13 years of attending KU sports activities I have never heard our alma mater sung with enthusiasm by more than a handful of students or alumni. This is terribly discouraging because KU has long been superior in basketball and track and is now excelling in football.
So for Saturday's game, let's put our heart and soul into singing this beautiful song. Cut this out, take it home and make the valley echo with Jayhawk spirit.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ALMA MATER
Far above the golden valley Glorious to view Stands our noble alma mater Towering toward the blue
Lift the chorus ever onward Crimson and the blue Hail to thee our Alma Mater Hail to old KU
