KU to Participate In Math Contest
Page 3
Representing KU in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition will be a three-man team and eight individuals. This is the University's second year in this competition, a project of the Mathematical Assn. of America.
Eleven KU students will participate in a contest here Saturday to determine the nation's outstanding undergraduate students in mathematics.
The mathematics department with the winning team will be awarded $500 and each member will receive $50. The highest ranking individual will receive a $3,000 scholarship to Harvard.
Lee M. Sonneborn, assistant professor of mathematics, is coach of the KU team of David T. Graves, Kansas City senior, Alfred Gray, Dallas, Tex., junior, and James Pool, Lawrence senior.
Alternate team members will be James W. Cederberg, Herndon senior, and Spencer E. Dickson, Topeka junior.
Individuals taking the test will be Robert E. Barnhill, Lawrence senior; George Gastl, Shawnee junior; Joanne Halderson, Bartlesville, Okla., junior; John Hedstrom, Kansas City senior; Fred Morrison, Colby sophomore; Raymond Pippert, Lawrence junior, and Richard Lee Speers, Houston, Tex., junior.
The Mathematical Assn. of America appoints a committee to operate the contest. Prof. L. E. Bush, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, is the chairman of the committee.
A special committee makes up the examination questions. G. B. Price, professor of mathematics and head of the department at KU, is president of this group and appoints members to make up the questions.
"This is a more difficult job than it seems," he said.
"There are some outstanding students, so questions must be quite difficult," he added.
Prof. Price said 300-400 students will participate in the contest and the results wil be tabulated by Prof. Bush's committee.
Woodruff's Reasons For TNE's Dismissal
Here is the statement given the press by Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, today:
"The accusation of the University Daily Kansan, that three students have been dismissed prior to hearing or trial, could be acknowledged only if the Kansan is referring solely to trial by a court of law. However the entire situation was thoroughly investigated by University authorities prior to a final decision which was based principally on the students' own account of their intent and actions.
The University is not a court of law nor can those who make its policy decisions always be guided by actions of local courts. Standards of performance and conduct expected of our students frequently cannot be measured in terms of statutes or ordinances of any legal authority, yet such standards are universally recognized and respected by most students without regard to legal implications.
When students involve themselves with the local courts and the University at the same time, naturally one or the other must take the first action. In neither case is there any intent of prejudicing the situation for the other. The action by the University in suspending the three students involved in the recent case of vandalism was taken therefore without regard to any decision which might be made by the court.
Repeatedly, the University has expressed its policy that vandalism including the destruction of defacement of public or private property will result in dismissal. Therefore, there is no excuse for such irresponsibility by students on or off the campus.

were automatically suspended pending investigation. University authorities attempted repeatedly but unsuccessfully to communicate with them prior to inquiries from an alert press as to recognition by the University of this apparent infraction of its violable policy.
The subsequent investigation, including lengthy interviews among the implicated students, the parents of the one young man who is a minor, and all the University authorities concerned, continued for several days before a decision was announced to the students on Wednesday afternoon and subsequently to the press on Thursday.

The University will continue to question the status of students who involve themselves in irresponsible and damaging escapades.
The testimony presented, including the statements of the suspended students to University authorities, did not vindicate them of implication in a costly and widespread rash of vandalism.

Membership in TNE or any other related organization has been outlawed by the University of Kansas and the Board of Regents. The membership of TNE, through its evident dedication to vandalism in the past few years, has given no reason to reassess the assumption that their activities are inimical to the best interests of any educational institution."

examinations. Billings said pressure on the student should be maintained by more tests rather than using the final examination only.
Miss Engler said:
It was a general feeling of the group that one reason students often want more examinations is so they can learn the material and then forget it.
"I believe there are plenty of examinations at KU. Many students ask for more mainly so they will know what their grade is at any given time."
