Grad students want voice
A graduate student in the School of Education, selected by fellow students, may be on the search committee for a new dean in the School of Education.
Approximately 40 graduate students in the School of Education, led by Carl Koemig, Dearborn, Mich., graduate student in special education, met and discussed student participation on the search committee to replace Kenneth E. Anderson, whose recent resignation becomes effective in July.
Although dissension ruled the gathering, five students were selected and placed on a ballot to be presented to the graduate student body in the School of Education Monday.
Koenig said that several faculty members, when they heard of Anderson's resignation, put forth the idea that students be placed with faculty members on the committee to look for a new dean.
Dean Anderson, also at the meeting, clarified Koenig's statement. "All the voting members of the faculty were told to send in three names of faculty members and three students, undergraduate or graduate. We then nominated three students, each of us. We didn't have to, but we could."
Koenig said, "If we are going to have representation, then we, the graduate students, should come together and choose the graduate student representative ourselves." He said he felt the group present should select representatives and present them to persons responsible for the selection committee. "I think that out of the representatives we choose, if one would be selected for the committee, that would be sufficient."
Dean Anderson said, "I think it's worthwhile to meet. But the problem is, there are 600 graduate students in the School of Education."
Five students, not all of whom were present, were chosen to be placed on a ballot and presented to the whole graduate student body in the School of Education.
City, Mo.; and Larry Routh,
Chappell, Neb.-all graduate students in the School of Education.
The students are Carl Koenig,
Dearborn, Mich.; Charles Eagle,
Beaumont, Tex.; Sally Slezak,
Topeka; Jay Barrish, Kansas
Voting will be from 8 to 5 Monday and Tuesday on the second floor of Bailey Hall, and at the Children's Rehabilitation Center at the KU Medical Center.
Folk dancing begins students join in fun
By Linda Loyd
Kansan Staff Writer
"One, two, three, bend; back,
two, three, shake-shake. One,
two, three, bend..."
Under white, hot lights of an empty practice room in Robinson Gymnasium, Friday night, 20 folk dance enthusiasts, friendly passers-by and curiosity seekers locked fingers in a circle dance at the first session of the recreational Folk Dance Club.
"Take 16 steps to the left, reverse and go right 16 steps," Steve Resovich, dance instructor, said over the pulsating stereo sounds originating somewhere south of the border, north of the equator and west of the Greenwich line.
In the center of the room, a gray-haired man in white turtle-neck pullover, plaid slacks and green sunglasses joined the dancers. KU students wearing casual cotton dresses, shorts and tee-shirts also formed the circle.
"This is a very informal group," Tony Sorem, teaching assistant in psychology and president of the Folk Dance Club, explained between dances. We will be dancing from 7-10 p.m. every Friday, he said. "Folk dancers are a rabid, fanatical lot,
so we plan to meet twice a week."
"We intend to teach folk dances from East Europe stressing dances from Greece, Rumania, Albania and Israel," Sorem said. "We also plan to do some north European, Spanish and Irish dances."
This first semester we will emphasize the teaching aspect, assuming no one has had any experience, he said.
Steve Resovich, a physical education instructor from Kansas City, will teach the dances. A stocky, dark-haired folk dancer of Serbian descent, Resovich first saw folk dancing on the West Coast.
Although most of his records are Serbian-Macedonian, Resovich claims to know 50 Balkan dances.
"It is ridiculous," said Resovich, "that when you're near a cultural center such as Kansas City or you attend a large school such as KU, all you see is hoe-down."
The first organizational meeting was Wednesday and the group will meet again this Wednesday. "We don't anticipate difficulty getting started," Sorem said. "Any interested persons are welcome."
The photographic laboratories in Flint Hall will be modernized and doubled in size by next spring at a cost of almost $50,000.
Regents approve funds for modern photographic labs
The Board of Regents approved the expansion program at its recent meeting in Kansas City.
The expanded facilities will enable the University Daily Kansan to take full advantages of the color and other fine printing capabilities of the new offset press in the University Printing Service.
The laboratories also will provide for the anticipated growth of the School of Journalism's new sequence in Photojournalism. Five courses now are offered, and Gary Mason, formerly a creative photography instructor at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, has joined Bill Seymour, sequence director, on the instructional staff.
In addition to the photojournalism program, the laboratories also serve students from the Department of Design, the School of Education, the School of Architecture and Urban Design, and other areas of the University. About 120 are enrolled in courses this fall.
Seymour said $16,000 will be used for the modification of the existing darkroom in the basement of Flint Hall. This includes the changing and adding of walls, lighting, false hanger ceilings, special resistant tiles, separate air conditioning and a humidity control system.
The remaining $34,000 will be spent on equipment for fixtures, a filtration system and a special water supply system for the new dark room. The new dark room will be in the west end of Flint Hall's basement and is expected to be completed by next February. It will be twice as big as the existing dark room, which will
then be taken over by the Department of Design.
Visiting photography professors during an Association for Education in Journalism national convention in August predicted the new darkroom would be one of the finest in the nation.
"Good equipment for color photography is almost ten times as expensive as black and white. We wish to get into color photography and color printing on a limited basis in the future." Seymour said.
Chinese students celebrate festival
Members of the Chinese Student Association are working in preparation for the annual KU Chinese Banquet, at 6:30 Saturday in the Wesley Foundation.
"The Chinese banquet has two objectives," said Wilson Chang, president of the Chinese Student Association. "It is the time for Chinese students here to get together and celebrate the mid-Autumn Festival, one of the biggest festivals in China. It is also hoped the occasion will introduce some of the Chinese cultures and customs to the people in Lawrence."
Chang said more than ten Chinese dishes will be served. In addition, Chinese classical music, films, pantime and Chinese attacking and defense techniques will be shown after the dinner.
Tickets are available at Kansas Union Information Desk.
