Officials Meet In Manhattan
The joint program allowing students from small colleges to work toward both engineering and liberal arts degrees at KU or Kansas State was discussed Monday by college and university officials in Manhattan.

Operant Behavior Theory Explained
The theory of free operant behavior is being used to study psychotic behavior, John Michael, assistant professor in psychology told the Psychology Club Tuesday.
Operant behavior is studied by placing psychotic patients in small rooms which are equipped with a manipulandum (a device for the patent to operate), a reinforcement magazine (a device which rewards the patient with candy, cigarettes, etc. if he works the manipulandum correctly), a stimulus panel, and recording and controlling equipment, Dr. Michael said.
Although the immediate purpose of this technique is to study behavior, it is hoped the results may eventually aid in treatment. he said.

They're still busy Besides attending classes, they are doing house shift work 40 hours a week. This extra work saves then $300 a year on living expenses though.
Students living in KU's several scholarship halls are selected each spring by a scholarship committee. Selections are made on a basis of scholarship, financial need and personal qualifications.
