WALTER V. T. CLARK
Panel discussions will be held on both Friday and Saturday so each teacher may attend two. The subjects will be the fourth year of high school, English, training of future English teachers and the remedial English course—luxury or necessity?
Albrecht Is Dinner Speaker Dr. William P. Albrecht, new chairman of the English department,
will be the Friday dinner speaker, discussing "Teaching English, a Profession."
The high school and college English teachers from Kansas and the western part of Missouri attending will be given time to visit KU English classes, Prof. Kitzhaber said. The honors sections and remedial sections in freshman composition have been popular in past years.
Prof. Clark, now on the faculty of San Francisco State College, has taught creative writing also at Nevada, Stanford, Iowa and Montana universities, and has lectured at conferences at numerous others, including KU.
Stories Set in West
His stories usually have a western setting, and as a confirmed westerner, he describes himself as "an academic tramp in creating writing, with a set of western habits."
