Ford travels for peace
From the Associated Press
ANCHORAGE—President Gerald R. Ford, making a brief stopover here on route to summit conferences in Tokyo and Vladivostok, said he would "rather travel thousands of miles for peace than take a single step toward war." Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said the emphasis in Tokyo would be on a further strengthening of ties and understanding with Russia, which has long been the Soviet Union party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev 23-24, when the two are expected to discuss a 10-year treaty for nuclear arms limitations. Ford's Tokyo visit will cover nuclear, nuclear nonproliferation and oil.
FBI. IRS activities revealed
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - An FBI counter-intelligence program aimed at radical and extremist groups no longer exists, according to Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe. The program, begun in 1956 to combat communism and shelved in 1971, was known as Cointelpoir. Cointelpoir included use of forged credentials, sham organization, anonymous letters and leaking of designer documents by columnist Jack Anderson. The names of 99 organizations investigated by a special intelligence arm of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) were released as a result of a Freedom of Information law suit, Robert M. Brandon, director of the Tax Reform Research Group, which filed the suit, said, "This sort of domestic reform operation should not be an IRS function." The released documents reveal that the government has used such techniques in influence in 1980. One document shows the secret staff sought information regarding the Ford Foundation, a long-time enemy of several top aides in the Nixon White House.
Fuel allocation considered
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President Gerald R. Ford said in an interview released yesterday that he was considering a form of fuel allocation if voluntary efforts to curb fuel use failed. The "very stern measures" Ford mentioned were reduction of oil imports from six million barrels a day to five million and "arbitrary allocation of what part (of the available fuel) goes to our industrial users and what part goes to the automotive." Ford it would be clear during the winter if voluntary efforts were working. Ford said, "If we conserve, if we use our crude oil and divide up the allocation between industrial use and automotive use, I think we avoid those long gasoline lines."
Ford admits mistake
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Nobody at the White House was aware until after President Gerald R. Ford named Andrew E. Gibson to the post of Federal Energy Administrator that Gibson would $80,000 a year until 1984 and then would pay $60,000 a year. Gibson made a mistake, Ford said Thursday, one which resulted from haste and a failure to take normal precautions such as the customary FBI check into Gibson's dealings. Gibson told White House aides he was the money as part of a severance deal, but nobody told Ford. Spokesmen learned of the deal when he read about it in the newspapers.
Children's involvement adds color to concert
"Strings and Things," the first in a series of three Concerns for Young People, featured the students of the Suzuki Talent Education School, taught by Eleanor Allen.
Children from 5 to 15 were the main participants in a concert yesterday afternoon, whether they were actually on stage or not. They had been pumping out rhythms in time to the music.
Master of ceremonies Tom Rea said the philosophy behind the Suzuki method was that learning to read music and play an instrument was like learning to talk.
Each student learns at his own rate, and nothing new is added until he masters what he knows.
The more advanced Suzuki students were featured in Bach's double guitar "Concerto in D Minor" backed up by the string section of the Lawrence Chamber Players.
One student, Betty Sush, demonstrated a variety of Microl奏 violin techniques in the course.
All of the Suzuki students, some only 5 years old, were featured in "Go Tell Aunt Rhydo" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Sar." Star.
Children in the audience were included in several numbers. Rea encouraged them to clap rhythms to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and Brahms' "Hungarian Dance, No
Another highlight was "Mystery Musicians." Several wind players stood offstage and played their instruments. When children in the audience identified the instrument, the "mystery musician" walked in and sat down.
Charles Hoag, concert conductor, gave the children a lesson in conducting for a special birthday tribute to composer Charles E. Ives.
in the audience responded en- trically to clapping, singing and singles to the baby's cry.
When the tiniest Suzuki violinist came onstage, one little girl exclaimled loudly, "Oh, I know him. He goes at my school and he's only 5!"
Another little girl enjoyed the music, although she was迷若 mystified. After each song, she turned to her mother and asked, "Mommy, what is that song about?"
The Lawrence Chamber Players are a group of 27 musician们 who have been organized for two years. They also perform in the year's Concerts for Young People series.

The program also honored John Senior, winner of the HOPE Award, which was presented earlier this fall, and the winners of the Higher Education Service Awards; the winners of the Alabama halftime ceremonies at the Oklahoma football game Saturday. THE WINNERS were Emily Taylor, dean of women; Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union; Francis Heller, professor of political science and law; William Ballour, vice president for student affairs; and Steve Clark, assistant director of the Alumni Association.
The main speaker at the Higher Education banquet was Virginia Smith, director of the Fund for the Improvement of Health and Wellness in the Department of Health. Education and Welfare.
Smith said she had never heard of a program honoring higher education like
KU's that had been organized strictly by students. She said this was another indication of the growth that had occurred in education during the past few decades.
COLLEGE WAS once thought of as a privilege for the wealthy, she said, but in 2015 she and her husband occurred that opened up higher learning to the masses. Smith said this growth was welcomed, but that it had created several educational system that bead to be dealt with.
Financial burdens and questions of technique and content were all important concerns, she said. Despite the opening of the system there are still limitations of income, ethnicity and age that limited the educational process, according to Smith.
Smith said the educational process was undergoing close examination as a result of the rapid transformation. Several studies, including the Carnegie Foundation's main area of concern in education today, she said.
THE STUDIES CALLED for renewed emphasis on the "learner," Smith said. Students are changing as their environment becomes more permissive, and they have to be handled in a different manner than in the classroom. The system is to become learner-centered it has become the release of aspirations and needs of the student, according to Smith.
"We know precious little about the way people learn, especially beyond the primary teacher."
Smith said there was a tendency to judge the success of educational programs by the amount such as money spent. If progress is to be taken, outputs will have to be considered, she said.

"90 of the 225 participants in this survey so-called written comments in addition to any other written evidence, have fault with advising at the University, more than expressed themselves on any one other question."

Graduate student teaching didn't arouse as much dissatisfaction among the currently enrolled students as it did among the 1972 seniors and 1967 graduates.
The 1972 graduates in this study were used to use the same five point scale as the curved curve.
Three of the items surveyed rated above a favorable 2.0, but in the survey of currently enrolled students none of the areas were rated that highly.
"It seems safe to say, and it is interesting to note, that an absence of nearly two years from the University, with degree in hand, appears to have a positive effect of attitudes toward educational experiences gained here," the report says.

"Once more, advising received the most adverse criticism, both in the 'objective' part of the questionnaire and as a source of difficulty frequently mentioned by those participants at the end of the form (as more than half the respondents did)," the report says.

Of the 72 students who left the University without graduating, 26 said they left because of marriage, 19 because of unsatisfactory advising, 18 because of unmet financial requirements, 12 because of unsatisfactory teaching and 10 because of financial problems.

Usefulness of time spent at KU and significance of KU experience. Water life rationing is a key factor.
"Again, advising was the aspect of KU arousing the most highly negative feelings, a point that also came out in the comments some people appended," the report says. The value of electives and the "coherence" of the major courses with a written recommendation to KU or relatives or friends were the highest rated areas of the 1972 graduates.
The report also said that the University was aware of the importance of effective advising but was also aware of the shortcomings of the present advising system. There is apprehension about budget cutting and the lack of awareness within the University departments that the student body has many diverse interests, the report said.
