Inside the KANSAN
Pud University
Caledon M. Pickett, professor of journalism, has suggested that the University of Kansas is becoming an academic garbage can. Some professors substantiate Pickett's contention while others refute it. See page 5.
Enrollment depression
The goal and mission of the University of Kansas may have to be altered to accommodate a predicted drop in enrolment in the mid 1980s. It may not may not be a good thing according to some administrators. See page 3.
Physical planning
Like a human body, a university must have healthy components if it is to survive. A university, however, cannot wait until it becomes ill. It must plan for good health in the future, hence master planning. See page 6.
GPA Inflation
Grades of undergraduates at KU are climbing. And it's naive to attribute the rise to undergraduate brilliance. Some professors think students don't work as hard as those five or 10 years ago, and that their preparation does more than ever. See page 4.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for those.
