Professionalism is aim of education association
KU'S chapter of the Student Education Association (SEA) will stress professionalism in teaching this year, Cathy Cain, second vice-president in charge of programs, said Friday.
"In the past, teachers weren't supposed to have any opinions, but today, teachers' political involvement is being stressed state and nation-wide." Miss Cain, Sublette senior. said.
The group will hold two student-faculty teas this year, Miss Cain said. These give students and professors opportunities to meet and discuss education on a more casual basis.
At the first SEA meeting, Oct. 10, the group will begin a series of speeches, panel discussions and seminars to help future teachers meet these "radical changes." Lawrence High School music teacher, Chuck Olson, will speak at the first meeting.
Programs on teacher opportunities are scheduled to supplement college class work, Miss Cain said. "In class, we learn very little of the actual problems we'll face as teachers."
Although the local group is part of the National Student Education Association, it works closely with the Kansas State
The staff of the "Cottonwood," formerly the "Cottonwood Review," will issue a onepage issue of "Leaf" within a week.
Cottonwood to print new magazine
"Cottonwood" editor Ken Irving, Rochester, Minn., senior, said "Leaf" is a new subsidiary publication of the "Cottonwood," Kansas University's literary magazine.
Irving said "Leaf" would be issued free this week as part of a sales publicity campaign for the "Cottonwood."
The "Cottonwood Review" was issued only once last year because of a change in editors in mid-year, Irving said.
He said the "Cottonwood" would appear "at least twice" this year, in addition to several issues of "Leaf."
Irving said the "Cottonwood" office, B-118 Kansas Union, is still under repair. However, students wishing to submit poems or fiction may send them to the office or contact Irving.
Irving hopes to "break even" financially this year. The "Cottonwood Review" has lost money for several years, Irving said.
The "Cottonwood" is partially funded through the student organization fund.
Salazar calm following Sat. crisis
LISBON (UPI)—Dr. Antonio Salazar rallied Sunday from a low point in his battle to recover from a massive stroke.
A crisis seemingly was reached Saturday when his pulse leaped to 99 beats a minute and blood pressure dropped sharply.
But at noon Sunday doctors issued a bulletin saying the 79-year-old premier had spent a calm night, that his blood pressure was becoming normal and his general clinical condition changing favorably. The general prognosis was still one of the utmost reserve.
A bulletin Sunday night said there were favorable alterations in the general condition "but the prognosis continues to be grave."
grave.
It was disclosed earlier Sunday that Salazar had left a letter regarding funeral arrangements for himself should the need arise.

Miss Cain said the SEA Board of Directors at KU will sit in on sessions of the state school board. Each state university has one vote in setting guidelines for local districts in Kansas, she said.
SEA membership is still open. The membership drive will be concluded at the first meeting. "Eliability for membership is not restricted to education majors," she said.
Graduate exam applications due
Applications for the first testing of the graduate record examination must be submitted to Princeton, N.J., by Oct. 8, according to sources in the School of Education guidance bureau.
Any seniors who might begin graduate work are urged to take this exam. It is required by most graduate schools, the sources reported.
The exam will be given at KU in 303 Bailey Hall on Oct. 26. It is a two-part exam: the morning session is an aptitude test and the afternoon portion is an advanced test in any of several specialized areas.
Students may elect to take only one or both parts of the test.
Applications may be picked up in 116 Bailey Hall. The graduate record exam will be given at four other times throughout the year at KU.
Angel Flight seeks to promote a new image
In the past, Angel Flight has been thought of as girls who merely march during half time at home games and act as hostesses at University functions, said Commander Mary Dowell, Haviland senior. She is determined to erase that image.

"Drill team practicing, raising money for charity and hostessing are not the main functions of Angel Flight," Miss Dowell said. "Our main duty is to promote the Air Force ROTC and to give the Air Force military a good image on campus."

sored by the Arnold Air Society (AAS). Loyalty to the AAS is the main function of the 60 Flights across the nation, she said.
Miss Dowell continued, "We are proud to wear the Air Forcee 'Blues' and by showing our pride we can also promote the boys."
Working closely with the men of AAS, Angel Flight has earned the respect of many. One of the AFROTC instructors said the Air Force men and Angel Flight women "are part of the present generation that still believe in taking baths and shaving. They are a group of clean cut kids, promoting America."
NY labor may strike
NEW YORK (UPI)—New York City's labor crisis moved inexorably Sunday toward a deadline for potential disaster—a Tuesday morning slowdown by firemen and police which could turn into a full strike by the firemen, and a strike by the city's garbage collectors.
Contracts between the city and the police and garbagemen expire at midnight Monday and with the firemen at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday.
The fire dispute was considered the most serious because not only has the Uniformed Firefighters Association, which represents 10,500 firemen below lieutenant, promised to do nothing but answer emergencies if

The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which represents 22,000 policemen, was threatening such job actions as refusal to issue parking tickets, but will not strike.
The Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association, which represents 10,000 of the 17,500 garbagemen, has instituted a policy of no contract, no work.

Peace vigils to continue
"It's putting one's body out in the public and saying, 'I protest,'" said Louis Wolfe, program coordinator of the Lawrence Peace Center, concerning the weekly peace vigils in South Park.
From noon to 12:30 every Sunday, about 20 persons stand silently in South Park behind a sign that says, "Silent Vigil for Peace in Vietnam - Join Us."
Participants are an "amorphous group of individuals," but maintain the common belief that the war in Southeast Asia should be discontinued," Wolfe said.
Remarking on the effectiveness of the protest, Wolfe said, "As one of a large series of small, individual acts, it is important."
The peace vigil was begun in Lawrence in March 1967, by students and townpeople. The idea came from a pamphlet, "Weekly Vigil for Peace—Conduct of Silent Witness," published by a Santa Barbara, Calif., participant in one of the first peace vigils.
A statement prepared soon after the inauguration of the Lawrence group says, "We shall continue to be here until the Johnson administration is also convinced that peace is the real interest of the U.S.-not war."
