Program studies future
Interest in the future of the world is growing and so is the number of students interested in pursuing a program in Future Psychology. Professor Conboy, professor of speech and drama.
Conboy was appointed in the fall to be chairman of the College Committee on Future Studies, which, Conboy said this week. has two short range objectives.
"First is to generate and promote future oriented patterns for students pursuing the Bachelor of General Studies degree," he said.
The second, Conboy said, is the present work with a limited number of Ph.D. candidates in an existing program called Special Studies.
The long range objective of offering a Bachelor of Art degree in Future Studies in much the same manner as a degree in Black Studies is a long way off, according to
"You're not likely to see a B. degree in Studies here in the next five years," Cobb said.
Robert Cobb, acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, agrees with Bob
Study of the future, Cobb said, used to be on the periphery of academia, and was more of an avocation than a discipline. Now, he said, it is gaining in interest and there are more classes dealing with the future.
Expert on Yugoslavia savs Tito still strong
Marshall Tito, president of Yugoslavia,
may be immortal at the age of 83, according
to Dennison I. Russinow, who spoke
Thursday at the Faculty Forum.
Russellin is an associate of the American Universities Field Service (AUFS). This was his fourth visit as an associate of AUFS to the University of Kansas since 1967.
On each of his prior visits Russia gave talks entitled, "Yugoslavia after Tito." He said this time, however that Tito had been a student at the colleges and that he still looked healthy.
"I saw a picture of Tito in a Belgian newspaper," Russinow said. "He was visiting a sick comrade in the hospital who was trying to make him smile when he was trying hard not to look smur."
Eleven member universities of the AUFS maintain a staff of 15 mult-disciplinary scholars in foreign centers that are of interest to the United States. Rushnow lives in Vienna and has special interests in Austria, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.
Russianow said that Yugoslavia had been
Tito dared to defy Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in the early 1950s, according to Russinow. And his defiance made Tito a national hero. In fact, Russinow said, Tito is an entity with such national respect in a country divided by provincial ethnic patriotism.
Tito's policies of decentralizing political power and creating a free economic market were suddenly stopped in late 1972, Russinow said.

It was then that Tito purged a number of provincial leaders and brought most of the power back to the central Communist Party, the purge. He said, wasn't a bloody one.

Santee said that it was Wyk's right to live and work there, ever he wanted to.
"When these leaders were confronted by Tito," he said, "his tremendous national prestige left them no choice but to resign. Yes, no confidence," there is no choice.
"I there were a job in Lawrence that was non-competitive, I think Ward would have been better," Ms. Stern said.
The enigma of Yugoslavia, according to Russinow, was that it appeared to be living up to the Communist ideal of the withering away of the state, at least until 1972.
Russell said that Tito's actions, though they appeared to be favorable to Tito, were unintentionally
"I may be that Tito wanted to strengthen the central government so that when he dies he should be able to move against a weak government and did against the Czechs in 1968," he said.
Both Comby and Cobb cautioned that a program in Future Studies cannot be set up.
Cobb said that such a program sometimes required an elaborate rationale for its existence. He also said that if it required any new resources the Board of Regents should review and approve Conboy's committee presents would need the approval of the College Assembly.
Coboy said that because it must be interdisciplinary, much cooperation was needed.
Other members of the committee are Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, and Maynard Shelly, professor of psychology and business.
He also said he thought there were about 25 persons on campus who shared his interest in a Future Studies discipline. He said that many of them are members of the World Society.
Coboy said that all three members think that any curriculum proposal should be based on the current needs.
The second International Assembly of the World Future Society will be this summer in Washington D.C., according to Conboy. He said he attended the first assembly in 1972.
Rolfs said further action on the meetings would await the forming of the new Association.
Bill Blessing, chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee, said the proposal to the assembly was delayed because of a lack of support.

John Beiner, former student body president, said he had pledged last year in his election campaign to have the Academic Affairs Committee study the foreign language requirement and had included the pledge in his charges to the committee.

Agreement on a proposal to change the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' foreign language requirement will be sought in discussions with foreign language department chairmen, Ed Rolfs, student body president, said Wednesday.
The proposal, currently stalled in the College Assembly, will require all students to take at least 10 hours of a foreign language and either three additional hours of the language or six hours of foreign culture study.

Rolfs said Mike Mattix, former member of the Student Senate Academic Affairs Committee, had asked for meetings between students and department heads to meet in agreement on the proposal outside the assembly, and would be foreign language department chairmen.
The report said that of the schools surveyed, 35 per cent had no foreign language requirement, and 48 per cent had a lower requirement than KU. Eleven per cent had nearly the same or equal requirements. Only 3 per cent had greater requirements.
"We decided that there's no chance of

passing it in the College Assembly.
Blessed said: "We're biding time now."
The committee studied the requirements of 150 schools during the summer and winter seasons.
The degree requirements subcommittee of EPPC revised the proposal so that the foreign culture classes would have to be taught in English as well as the foreign language studied, be said.
