Hitt Sees Quality Key to KU Future
James K. Hitt, registrar, said yesterday that the quality of KU's teaching and living facilities and not academic requirements will determine the amount of future enrollment.
Mr. Hitt spoke before a faculty forum on "Enrollment Trends and Recruitment."
"Dean Anderson (Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education) has predicted that KU will have an enrollment of 9,600 students by 1960, and 30,000 by 1970." Mr. Hitt said. He continued:
"When you look at this number, no matter what restrictions you put on, you're going to have an awful lot of kids. I don't think quality restrictions are going to influence too much the number of students attending KU." He continued:
"The questions which should be considered are living quarters, classroom buildings, and faculty members. The extent of the faculty attraction could mean the extent of enrollment.
"The change in the College curriculum may make a difference in
Bomb Testing Is Forum Topic
"Nuclear Bomb Testing: A Necessity or a Threat to Survival?" will be the subject of the Current Events Forum at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Trophy Room.
L. Worth Seagadollar, associate professor of physics, and John Weir, associate professor of zoology, will present their views on the problem.
Prof. Weir said that he will present the biological dangers of radiation, and Prof. Seagondollar will present the physicist's aspect of the danger.
"The audience can use its own judgment on the radiation problem after it has heard the evidence presented by both of us." Prof. Weir said.
future enrollment. We may place restrictions on out-of-state students or admit Kansas students on their rank in their high school graduating class."
About 36 per cent of Colorado's land area is owned by the Federal government.
However, he said, any Kansas restrictions would meet with opposition from the taxpayers.
He said statistics compiled on high school graduating classes showed that four-fifths of entering students were in the upper half of their classes, one-half were in the upper 25 per cent and one-fourth were in the upper ten per cent.
"In a comparison with a school such as Dartmouth, KU ranks fairly high." Mr. Hitt said.

PHOENIX, Ariz.—(UPI)—World-famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, founder of the modern school of building craftsmanship and storm center of artistic controversy most of his life, died today in St. Joseph's Hospital.
The "rebellious old gentleman," as friends referred to him in his later years, succumbed following an emergency operation Monday for treatment of an intestinal tract obstruction. He had responded well to the surgery, his doctor said, but apparently his age made recovery impossible.
Mr. Hitt said that five large Kansas high schools (Topeka, Shawnee Mission, Wyandotte, Wichita East, and Lawrence) consistently furnish a third of the total freshmen.
Critics often disputed whether Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century, but all agreed he certainly was the most famous for his individualistic style—a blending of precision machine-age lines with nature's living forms in stone, wood, wood or glass.
"About ten per cent come from the other major Kansas high schools." Mr. Hitt said.

Both artistically and personally, Wright's life was a battle with the contemporary schools of thought. And he captured acclaim abroad long before his own country recognized him as a "titanic force" in building design through the American Institute of Architects.
