Requirements Approved
Elmo Richardson, instructor of history, said:
(Continued from Page 1.)
"I'm all for it. The change in the College requirements must be supplemented by a sense of responsibility on the part of the instructors.
"As for the so-called 'pud' courses—I think some of this is a false rumor too readily accepted by many students," he said.
kobert G. Colodny, visiting assistant professor of history, said:
"Increasing the math and language requirements is a step in the right direction but it would have to be balanced by stiffening the high school curriculum so that the University could harvest the fruit."
Sandra Blankenship, Great Bend senior, said:
"I think that it's a good idea to make Speech I a requirement for junior standing. Speech work is supposed to be beneficial in other subjects. The earlier you take speech, the more you will have a chance to apply it."
"I'm glad I'm graduating before 1963. If the administration is really serious about this 'Harvard on the Kaw,' we should have the privileges that accompany a tougher curriculum."
Roger Stanton, Marysville junior, said:
Gretchen Watkins, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, a member of the College Intermediary Board, thinks the language requirement is a good idea.
"I think we should know at least two languages." she said.
James E. Scaver, associate professor of history and western civilization, said;
"I am very pleased with the requirements as a whole. I think it is an excellent step. It will tighten up the curriculum considerably.
"I have hopes that the idea will help to raise the level of education generally," he said.
William Witt, Garden City senior, said:
"The ideas of more language and more mathematics are very commendable.
"Getting instructors who will teach students to think could be the greatest achievement," he said.

Open Evenings By Appointment
Four state school extension directors met here today with T Howard Walker, director of the KU Extension, to discuss state programs.
Extension Heads Talk on Policy
Through their meetings, they seek to avoid duplication of effort, to clarify policy, and to promote cooperation among the extension programs.
Credit or non-credit college courses are provided in virtually every Kansas county by the five schools.
Gerald Pearson, director of KU extension classes, will participate in the discussions which will cover a proposed survey of extension classes.
The five state schools are the first in the nation to jointly sponsor 28 examination centers where correspondence students may take final examinations.

Guest Symphony to Play
The orchestra will play Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, and Prokofieff's "Love of Three Oranges."
This is Van Remoortel's first season as the regular conductor and music director of America's second oldest major symphony. He was named regular director after he had completed a two week engagement as guest conductor.
Van Remoortel made his American debut in 1956 with the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D. C. He has conducted more than 50 orchestras on six continents.

Some of the names they will consider are Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo), Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass), Nelson Rockefeller, New York governor, and vice president Richard M. Nixon.
Cafeteria Features Butterflies-On Wall
The Kansas Union is offering a double-barrel display for butterfly fans.

The South Lounge is showing watercolors of butterflies, part of a collection of William H. Howe, an Ottawa artist who specializes in portraying moths and butterflies by watercolor techniques. The display will be there until Saturday.
