Architecture Students Design 'Bar-H Ranch'
"I need a corral for the horses, a dock for the boats, and a nice deep pool for the fish." 30 architecture design students who are going ranch style are telling themselves.
The students are competing for prizes in a contest to design the Bar-H Ranch, a home for under-privileged or delinquent boys.
Under the instruction of C. Ross Anderson, assistant professor of architecture, and John See, instructor in architecture, students will enter individual plans for the ranch as part of a class project.
The Bar-H Ranch, to be located 96 miles south of Kansas City, is sponsored by the Heart of America Law Enforcement Organization, a non-political group dedicated to the prevention of juvenile delinquency.
The ranch is designed to help boys between the ages of eight to sixteen who are neglected, under-prihileged or have demonstrated conduct in their community that may lead to delinquency.
Prof. John Beal, chairman of the architecture department, became interested in the project through Joseph Pugliesi, Brooklyn, N.Y., junior, who was working on it on his own time.
Prof. Beal suggested that the ranch

Sound Lost in Hieroglyphics
Hieroglyphics began as pictograph writing in which sound had no part, a visiting professor of architecture said last night in the first of a series of talks explaining the early Egyptian culture.

"There was no phonetic value at all," said Prof. Alexander Badawy, "but just pictures of recognizable objects."
"Egypt was not the only country to use hieroglyphics," he said. "The Samuritans, Chinese, and the American Indians also used it."
Prof. Badawy traced the evolution of hieroglyphics from its pictorial stage to its more cursive forms.
"Hieroglyphics disappeared around the 14th century and was not discovered until around the 18th century," Prof. Badawy said.
Profs Name New Language Goals
A goal of proficiency in a second language for every KU graduate was announced yesterday at the Faculty Forum by two members of a faculty committee on foreign language education.
Agnes Brady, professor of Romance languages, and W. Stitt Robinson, associate professor of history, told the findings of the committee.
Prof. Robinson said only 46 per cent of freshmen entering KU from Kansas high schools have ever been exposed to a foreign language.
Prof. Brady said Spanish classes were started in Lawrence elementary schools in 1949. Later, courses in French and German were added.
This program starts in the fifth grade and continues through the University. More than 5,000 fifth grade students have studied Spanish since the program's inception, she said.
Prof. Brady also mentioned a program started last fall in which a group of 26 first grade students at St. John's parochial school in Lawrence. The students will study Spanish through the sixth grade and will then be tested for proficiency.
Prof. Robinson said the committee has finished its report, but that recommendations have not yet been presented to the administration.
