Unemployment Plans
Recently the U. S. House of Representatives approved an administration-backed proposal for wider unemployment benefits. It is said to be less liberal than the Democratic party's plan.
The Democrats' plan would have offered a $1 \frac{1}{2}$ billion dollar program to unemployed, some of them not able to collect under the present state unemployment programs.
The administration's plan offers a 600 million dollar program to only those persons who have exhausted state unemployment benefits. The benefits would last for fewer weeks than under the Democrats' plan.
Each political party can fight with the other
on how much money to hand out, but both parties would come under harsh criticism from earlier statesmen for such give-away programs as recent legislatures have proposed.
When appraising the 86th Congress, it is no longer a question of black and white in public welfare, but of the degree to which welfare programs will be carried.
This action, coupled with the recent actions in other legislative sessions, indicates that the two political parties are moving closer together in philosophy, with only dominant personalities producing conflicts.

A Little Progress
One of the most progressive moves made by a department at KU was the recent changeover to fewer books in the Western Civilization reading course.
The move, which will condense the readings into two books instead of a great number of pocket books and library reserve books, has the student's benefit as its direct goal.
While conserving the student's time and saving him the bother of seeking out each individual book, the new plan gives more continuity to the readings by grouping them in order under one cover.
Of all the changes in various departments concerning such things as curriculum, teaching staff and credits,the recent change in Western Civilization can be most highly praised.

Athletes Aren't The Only Ones
A high school senior in Wichita has college scholarships totaling $12,000 to choose among, and there are a number of other universities yet to be heard from. What makes this news is that far from making the team, this boy doesn't even play football.
This boy has nothing to recommend him other than that he is a straight A student who likes to spend his spare time reading books and playing chess. He aspires to become a nuclear or electronic physicist. With the help of a $2,000 a year for four years scholarship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology he is accepting, there is no question about his realizing his ambitions.
But this incident greatly discounts all of the stories there have been in recent months about
this country's impending shortage of scientists resulting from the inability of thousands of youngsters to finance their higher education in order to develop their latent talents.
Here is indication that the universities are as eager to subsidize those who are adept in digging that crazy calculus, as they are others who have a season's average of five yards through the line on each play, or who come seven feet tall.
There are scholarships for scholars, it seems, and in some sectors there are even more scholarships available than there are those who merit them.

Mary had a little brach.
Its pedicle was white as snow.
And every rock that Mary cracked
Revealed another, so . . .
She took her brach to lab one day
And how the teacher cried!
For on that day to her dismay,
She learned her brach had died!
