Watching children at play is only one phase of the child observing class required of all elementary education majors. This observing is done by various classes such as playground activities, child development, and speech pathology.
Children Teach Education Majors
"The observing courses help the girls decide what grade level they prefer teaching," said Robert W. Ridgway, assistant professor of education. When observing playground activities, the education majors go to the Lawrence schools.
Sometimes they actually participate in teaching games the latter part of the semester. Dr. Ridgway said that participating in the games with the children makes teaching more meaningful to the student.
Child development students attend nursery school to observe the pre-school age children. "You can only get so much information from text books," said Pat Greenlee, Kansas City, Kan. junior, "Working with the children helps you to get to know and understand them much better." Each student observes two hours a week until a total of ten hours has been reached.
Most of the children in the nursery are four to five years old The children's program consists of playing outside, listening to stories, taking naps, and having refreshments.
The University also has a speech clinic where parents bring children for therapy treatment. Speech correction majors usually do the therapy while the education majors observe. Most of the children brought to the clinic for treatment are those with cleft palates or articulatory problems.
These children have the physical ability to speak but must be taught how. A cleft palate child is one who has an opening in either the soft or hard palate at birth. This makes them unable to make the normal vocal tones necessary for speaking. An operation and much training is needed for the child to speak normally.
Teachers often get very candid statements from the children. One four year old girl at nursery school, when asked if her mother was coming for her that day said, "You idiot, my Mother doesn't come every day. She belongs to a car pool."
Dr. Franklin D. Murphy is the second alumnus to be chancellor of K.U.

State Geological Survey Adds Staff Member
Dr. Ralph H. King, who received his Ph.D. degree in geology from the University in 1956, has been appointed geologist and technical editor of the State Geological Survey and associate professor of geology. He will teach a course in paleontology during the spring semester.
Dr. King has been an editor of Geological Survey publications, and during the past year was geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, ground-water branch, Lawrence. He is now geologist with the Geological Survey's division of stratigraphy.
Dr. King received bachelor of science and master of science degrees in petroleum engineering from Texas University. In 1934 the Geological Society of America awarded him a grant to study the paleontology and stratigraphy of Pennsylvanian and Permian rocks in north-central Texas, and the following year he taught courses in petroleum engineering at Pennsylvania State University. He then joined the editorial staff of the Petroleum Engineer in Dallas, and from 1941 to 1948 was on the staff of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Dr. King has written scientific papers on a variety of subjects. Professional organizations to which he belongs include the American Assn. of Petroleum Geologists, the American Geophysical Union, the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, and Sigma Xi.
Science Society To Initiate Today
Sigma Xi, honorary science society, will initiate members at 7:30 tonight in 203 Bailey.
Forty-one persons were elected for membership recently, including seven faculty members and 19 graduate students.
Byron S. Miller, associate professor of milling industries at Kansas State College, will speak on "Biochemical Basis for Disease Resistance in Wheat Plants," following initiation.
Full membership in the society is for those who have done research for a doctoral dissertation or master's thesis and have had some results published. Those working on an unfinished, promising research project may receive an associate membership.
$35 Stolen Monday From Locker Room

Afghanistan Trip Planned By Junior
The thought of escaping the books and going to some out-of-theway place like Afghanistan will soon be a reality for Joe Arnold, Kansas City, Kan. junior.
Airport Construction
Airport Construction "My father is one of five or ten
men who are working on an airport in Kabul," Arnold said. "Besides the CAA group, there are construction company workers and a number of Pan-American Airways employees in the city."
Arnold has made no plans to go to school while in Afghanistan. He said that there is a school of college level, but he does not know how good it is.
"The Russians are building military projects while the Americans are constructing roads, dams and other improvements. Both countries are trying to impress the natives," Arnold said.
After returning from his trip, Arnold will re-enter KU as a second semester junior in the School of Business.
The climate in Kabul is supposed to be much like that in Denver, Colo. The north half of the country is mountainous while the south is desert, Arnold said.
"All of the Americans live in one small area in mud brick houses," he said. "Each family has several servants, since it is the custom.
Will Return In June Arnold plans to start back to the United States in early June. He will fly from Afghanistan to Turkey or Europe. He will then hitch-hike across the European continent before returning to this country.
Will Return In June
Any student who really wants to work should be able to find a job next semester, said both Spencer E. Martin, director of aids and awards, and Miss Mary Peg Hardman, assistant dean of women. They did not expect job turnover between semesters to be great.
Many Part Time Jobs Available For Students
Tuesday afternoon there were 26 applications from women students for part-time jobs and no job openings. Miss Hardman emphasized however that many women students obtain their jobs through contacts other than her office and that professors often pick students from their classes to work for them.
Most of the jobs for women students are on campus. It is usually difficult to fit downtown jobs into the students' schedules. The campus pay averages about .65 or .75 an hour, although certain research jobs pay more.
"We work mainly with new students who aren't acquainted on the campus yet," she said.
Twenty Job Openings
The aids and awards office has about 20 job openings listed for men students.
"We don't have any larger than normal job listing," Mr. Martin said. "We have several night jobs such as washing dishes and waiting on tables. We have difficulty filling that type of job."
The office also has some sales jobs listed. "Students don't like these because they are paid by commission."
We have trouble fitting work hours to the students' schedules, he said. However, any student who can't work during the week should go to the aids and awards office Saturdays since often odd pobs are available for one day.
Other jobs available included working for a funeral home, doing yardwork and working for a greenhouse. Some jobs give the student a room in exchange for the work done.
Odd Jobs Sometimes Available
Most of the jobs for men students are off-campus. Pay usually runs from $.75 to $1.25 an hour.
