Plans underway for AURH Fall Festival
Plans are underway for the second annual Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) Fall Festival October 14-18, Janice Wagner, Richmond junior and festival chairman, said.
The festival is the fall counterpart of the AURH sponsored Spring Fling in April. This year's festival theme is "The Great Pumpkin Lives."
Paired floors from men's and women's halls will schedule activities for the first four days. A party is planned on the last night featuring skits and in-between acts by the various living groups.
"The purpose of the festival is to get halls together early in the year," Miss Wagner said.
September 30, upperclass and coed residence halls and scholarship halls elect hall coordinators. Committee heads will compose the AURH Council, Miss Wagner added.
University Extension functions explained
Incorrect conceptions of University Extension were criticised Monday by T. Howard Walker, Extension director, at the semiannual meeting of the Bureau of Extension Classes and Centers in the Kansas Union.
"I have tried to break down the notion that an extension student is a little 81-year-old woman taking a correspondence course." Walker said.
The basic goal of Extension is to provide low cost education of several sorts for students not regularly enrolled on campus.
"A number of students I've seen indicate that the program deals with students whose education has been interrupted," he said.
Walker emphasized that the extension program serves people of all ages, including the very young.
Francis Heller, dean of faculties, presented Walker a silver tray and a set of crystal at the meeting in honor of Walker's service as president of the National University Extension Association last year.

Herb Gardner's "A Thousand Clowns," directed by Jan Hewitt, Fresno, Calif., graduate student, is the non-conformist play about conformity.
Holmes Osborne, Bates City, Mo., senior, portrays Murray Burns whose nephew Nick is about to be taken from him by the child welfare board. Nick is played by 14-year-old Mark Kappelman, a ninth-grader at South Junior High School.
