Seminar Plan Tried In English
Experimental classes are being conducted in the English department this semester and could be made part of the regular schedule next year.
English 94 and 96 are courses which previously had been taught with one student having special conferences with his instructor. This semester English 94, Reading for Honors, is being taught in small seminar groups of about four students.
English 96 is a directed reading course. During the past few years the enrollment has increased so much in these courses that the load has been getting too heavy for the teachers who try to hold the seminars along with their regular classes.
"It all depends on what the students and teachers report as to whether this plan will be continued," Miss Calderwood said.
"If this plan works," said Miss Natalie Calderwood, assistant professor of English, "we may set up a seminar plan for handling all the students in these courses."
Small Art Works To Be At Museum
"Major Work in Minor Scale" an Italian exhibition of distinguished small works by 10 contemporary Italian artists, will be featured later this month at the Museum of Art.
The display will include three examples each by painters Caffe, Caruso, Flazoni, Music and Vespignani, and sculptors Fazzini, Greco, Manzu, Mascherini and Minguzzi.
The selection of works was made by Gaspero del Corso, director of l'Obelisco Galleria d'Arte in Rome.

Students Like Jay Watchers' Idea
Campus sentiment concerning the Jay Watchers' efforts to raise money to finance television of basketball games apparently is in favor of the project.
A survey of 34 University students selected at random by The Daily Kansan showed .all were in favor of telecasting KU basketball games and many desired a continuation of the project during football season.
Some of the comments:
Strangely enough, there was not a single dissenting vote and almost all the students reached said they had contributed to the fund.
Janice Brown, Colby junior — I think it is a good idea. It costs quite
a bit, but it is well worth it. Richard Willhite, Toronto freshman—It's a tremendous idea, but I wish they could have started sooner to be sure of success.
Kay Stoner, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore—It is a fine idea, especially if it can be carried out for the next two years when we should have great basketball teams.
Pat Canary, Wichita senior—I'm all for it and hope they can come through.
Roy Flint Jr., Oklahoma City junior—I'm in favor and I think it is one of the best ideas anyone has had around here for a long time.
Wayne Coulter, Wichita freshman
It is a pretty good idea, especially
if they can carry it over into the football season.
Suzanne Hamilton, Hutchinson sophomore—I'm all in favor of the project. I thought enough of it to contribute to it and I hope many others do, too.
Clara Hall, Birmingham, Ala,
senior- It is a very fine idea.
Jim Kinderknecht, St. Marys sophomore—It really is a tremendous deal for the students and the people in this area. I wish more people would get behind the project because it will really benefit the students.
Janice Johnson, Kansas City, Mo., senior-I am very much in favor of the program. I contributed to the fund and hope it will be a success.
