Scholar Envisions Many Broad Horizons From His KU Study
Like the young scholar in "The Corn is Green," Richard Kraus, Lawrence senior, has had focused before him by a great university a world of ideas of which he was not aware before.
Kraus, who will go to Harvard University on a Woodrow Wilson Scholarship next September, says he will always be grateful to the University for opening these new horizons for him. He describes it as a "spiritual thing," and he gives the University faculty a large share of the credit for these revelations.
But it is obvious that a major part of the credit must go to the modest young scholar and to his wife Adale, who is also an honor student. Both are transfers from Hutchinson Junior College. Each went through Arlington High School. Kraus has a perfect "A" grade average for his college work.
"It is the emphasis on ideas that distinguishes KU from high school and junior college," he said. "But this has not made KU any more difficult. It is different. Before coming to KU I could memorize
ideas without being sure of their meaning. But now I realize their significance."
He will graduate from the College with a degree in history and international relations. At Harvard he will undertake a program of East Asian studies, specializing in Chinese culture, history and language.
"I am convinced that international relations with Asia and Africa will be of paramount importance for America during the next half century," Kraus said. "So I have chosen Asia as the area to learn about."
After he completes his master's and doctor's degrees, Kraus would like to enter government foreign service. His length of stay with the government will depend on the satisfaction he derives from the work. If he can do what he wants to do he will stay on indefinitely. But he may seek a teaching position later on.
His wife, Adele, will receive her degree in home economics education in June. She may resume her
studies in September at Radcliffe College, a neighbor of Harvard or she might seek a teaching position once they are settled.
Each of these high-powered scholars gives the other much credit for keeping the machinery of their home running. Household tasks have been assumed on a cooperative basis since their marriage last summer. They participate less in such extra-curricular activities as debate since entering KU.
"I consider my Harvard venture a real challenge." Kraus said.
Much of his work will be with languages, a field he feels is not his strongest. But since he made all A's in 15 hours of Spanish and 13 of French, it is difficult to see how he will have too much trouble with his study of Chinese and Russian.
The switch from KU to Harvard will not be like the switch from Hutchinson to KU. He feels he is equipped for this advanced work. And he will be thinking of KU and its faculty for supplying the key to the door of a new world.
Bike Idea a Flat Tire, KU Students Indicate
If cars are prohibited next year on the KU campus, would you bicycle your way to classes?
Since the All Student Council proposed last fall that bicycles be substituted for automobiles on campus, students have stated their views on the issue in bull sessions

Here is how KU students stated their opinions in a Daily Kansan poll:
Sharon Hide, Prairie Village sophomore — "I just wish they made bikes with double seats"
Peggy Kallos. Horton junior. 57Let the boys pedal, but definitely not the girls. Skirts weren't made for pedaling bikes, and I think girls should wear skirts to class. So, you can't win."
Dan Sexton, Wichita junior — "I'd probably drive a car to the edge of campus and then walk from there. The whole idea's silly."
Kay Roberts, Clifton junior — "I'd ride a bike only as an excuse to wear bermudas to class. If Chancellor Murphy bans cars he'll have to allow bermudas and slacks on girls during classes."
Jim Mellies, Morganville junior — "I doubt if I'd have enough energy to pump up and down the hill and around."
Mary Shillerston, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore — "I'd walk before I ride all of those silly bikes to class."
Virginia Welch, Red Lodge, Mont., sophomore — "I've gotten along for two years now without a car here, and I know definitely that I could get along without a bike."
Cora Lee Price, Lawrence freshman — "I think it's a personal decision. I wouldn't because I live at

the bottom of a steep hill, and i would be just less work to plain walk up that hill than to push a bike up. It's all right for other kids that don't live at the bottom of hills. though."
The examination will be given April 25 in Kansas City, Topeka, Manhattan, Salina, Hays, Colby, Chanute, Hutchinson and Garden City. Jobs will be available in all parts of the state.
Students interested in working for the State Highway Commission as engineering aides this summer must apply for an examination before April 17.
Alan Dennis, Ayden, N. C., senior — "If I had a car now I wouldn't drive to class because it would be too much bother. I hope I'm not around here next year anyway."
Information and application forms are available from the State Personnel Division, 801 Harrison, Topeka. Completed applications must be returned to that office.
Bill Holt. Holland, Mich., graduate student — "If I had a bike I'd ride to class. It would be great fun if others did it too, of course."

Parents' Role Held Minimal
Preliminary findings in a study of 8,500 Kansas high school students indicate that parental income or education may not play as important a role in a student's achievement as some persons believe.
Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, outlined the study in a speech yesterday at the annual meeting of the American College Personnel Assn. in Cleveland.
He said questionnaires are being filled out by 7,000 Kansas students who took the National Merit Scholarship qualifying test in 1958 and 1,500 students who did not take the test. The two groups are being compared. The full study will be completed next fall.
Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson wrote most of their own speeches unaided. Other Presidents employed "ghost writers."
