Father, Son May Each Get Degrees
Stewart Newlin, editor of the Wellington Daily News, started an 8-week practice teaching stint last week which will enable him to graduate from KU this June with his son Harve.
The editor, who says he doesn't "plan to do any teaching," is observing and will teach classes in junior and senior English in the Wellington schools. He is also observing in a physics class under the supervision of the regular teachers. Physics was his minor at KU.
If he completes his qualifications for a degree, he will graduate from the University exactly 30 years after he received his high school diploma. His degree will be a bachelor of science in education.
Newlin said that the fact his son will graduate "spurted me ahead," to get my degree. If he completes the requirements, he will participate in commencement exercises June 1 and 2.
Harve will graduate from the School of Business in June and will report June 19 for flight training as a second lieutenant in the Marines.
Started College in 1928 The elder Newlin attended KU for three years beginning in the fall of 1928 when he studied journalism. He took an extended trip to Europe, entering the University again in the spring semester of the 1931-32 school
year. He dropped out of school before completing work for his degree
In the fall semester of the 1951-52 school year, Mr. Newlin commuted daily from Topeka to Lawrence to complete all of his necessary courses except the practice teaching requirement.
Dr. Oscar Haugh, professor of education and Mr. Newlin's adviser, said, "He planned to go on and get his practice-teaching out of the way the next fall, but he took advantage of another opportunity he could hardly turn down."
Opportunity in Washington
That opportunity was in Washington, D.C., where he became publicity director for the Eisenhower-for-President national headquarters prior to the Republican national convention.
Dean Kenneth Anderson of the School of Education said that the procedure of letting a person take his practice teaching so far away from KU was unusual, but this was a deserving case.
Dr. Haugh said that he would be making several trips to Wellington to talk with Mr. Newlin's teachers and work out teaching procedures with the newspaperman.
Around The World
The President also said today that he would very seriously consider suspending U. S. nuclear tests if the forthcoming series in the Pacific provides the United States with scientific data.
Eisenhower Says Tax Cut Not Necessary For Economy
President Eisenhower said today that he sees no need for a decision on cutting taxes.
After the 1958 tests are completed, the President said, U. S. scientists will tell them if they provided most, if not all of the information they sought.
He told his news conference that economic figures he has seen including those on unemployment Tuesday in his opinion do not require a tax cutting decision at the moment.
The Labor and Commerce Department reported Tuesday that March unemployment rose 25,000 to 5,198,000 while employment rose 323,000.
The President said he is keeping the tax matter under constant study but indicated that it could be several months before a decision is made to cut taxes—if that becomes necessary.
Meanwhile, British scientists said today that they blamed Soviet nuclear tests for the sharp rise in the amount of radioactivity in the world in the past few weeks.
In Kansas City, Mo., a geneticist charged Tuesday night that the United States is willing to risk the lives of 200,000 children to perfect the H-bomb that it wants.
Dr. Irwin Herskowitz said that officials should tell the world that H-bomb tests will cause from 100,000 to 200,000 leukemia cases plus untold numbers of cancer cases through indirect radioactive fallout in the next 10 to 30 years.
"To ignore that fact is the crime the government and the medical profession have been committing," he said.
In New York, the Broadway adaptation of Thomas Wolfe's novel, "Look Homeward, Angel," has been chosen the best American play presented in the 1957-58 season by the New York Drama Critics' Circle.
In Washington. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield assured today that a special commemorative stamp will be issued in January,
City Managers Train For Future Positions
Fifteen states are receiving the services of 41 city managers who are graduates of the KU city management training program.
The program, sponsored by the political science department and the Governmental Research Center, was started in 1948 with a financial grant from the Carnegie Corp. Since 1954 the program has been sponsored by the University and cooperating cities.
Since the program started in 1948 100 men have been accepted. A panel of political scientists interviews each applicant. This year 11 applicants were accepted, according to William Cape, visiting professor of political science, who is in charge of the program.
Bachelor's Degree Needed
During the first two semesters of the 2-year program the students entoll in graduate courses. These courses emphasize general techniques of municipal government, administrative management and human relations.
A bachelor's degree is required to be eligible to apply for the program
Upon completion of two semesters work, the students are required to serve a 9-month internship under an experienced city manager. During this time the students are enrolled in a seminar for apprentices. They are also expected to complete a thesis on some problem they have worked on in their cities.
Intern Jobs Vary
Prof. Cape said some interns may serve as administrative assistants to the city manager while others may serve as assistants to different department heads.
Topics which would confront a city manager such as public relations or police organization, are discussed and a city manager attends the seminar.
Prof. Cape bases the success of the program on the fact that 80 per cent of the graduates are currently employed in municipal government and 90 per cent have remained in some form of public service.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program the students receive degrees of Master of Public Administration
Joie L. Stapleton, professor of physical education, has been elected vice-president elect of the central district of the American Health, Physical Education and Recreation Assn. at a meeting this week in Kansas City, Mo. Prof. Stapleton will take office in 1959.
