Intellectual reputation important in attracting students to KU
Each year, high school juniors and seniors who take the ACT test fill out a section telling what things they look for in choosing one college over another.
Of the 1975-74 KU freshmen, 2003 completed this section of the ACT test.
Nearly half of the students who responded, 49 per cent, listed the intellectual strength as the single most important factor behind their decision. Many of this year's freshmen agree.
Joany Zammoil, Kansas City, Kan., said he was KU because she heard it was a good school.
Wayne Edwards, Grandview, Mo. said he
wavey and energetic, had a good
meterology experience.
"The professors teach so much compared to other teachers," she said.
Jeff Gellin, Junction City, said he came here because KU ranked high in comparison.
"Most teachers seem to know what they're talked about," said Gelvin.
He said he thought living in a fraternity was an advantage because the upperclassmen "knew the ropes" and could help freshmen study for tests.
Laurie Parzybok, Wichitin, said she came to U because it was pretty well known and was familiar.
"It's awfully hard here," she said. "All I is study."
KU students to observe U.N. week
Thursday has been designated United Nations Day around the world. In honor of this day the University of Kansas will be observing U.N. week Oct. 21-25, according to the university's acting vice president of the KU branch of the Douglas County U.N. Association.
"U.N. week on campus will be sponsored by the KU branch of the U.N. Association." Dommerse said, "with the cooperation of scholarship halls, residence halls, fraternities, sororites and the KU International Students Club."
Literature about the nature, structure and mission of the U.N. will be given out at tables set up from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. all week in the Kansas Union, Dommever said.
"The U.N. is designating the year 1975 as International Women's Year," she said, and "there will be some very interesting on this as well as on all aspects of the U.N."
Dommeyer said the tables would be manned by one American student and one foreign student to exemplify the working between the member countries of the U.N.
The highlight of the week, according to Dommeyer, will be a speech by Wendell Woodbury of the U.S. State Department. Woodbury will speak on "The U.N. and Development" at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 24 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
In conjunction with Woodbury's speech, the KU branch of the Douglas County U.N. Association will hold an organizational meeting, Dommmey said.
All interested persons are urged to attend, she said.

Craig Grismlay, Wichita, said the fact that the name of KU was well known and the school of business was good influenced him to come here.
Influence from others was the reason 25 per cent of last year's freshmen said they chose KU, with 11 per cent listing parental influence as the primary factor and 10 per cent listing influence from campus tours and visits.
"I've wanted to come to KU as long as I can remember," she said.

"I went to music camp for two summers
I was really impressed with the camps.
They were so fun."
"I visited KU and fell in love with the campus," said Gina Hill, Wichita. "I think college's appeal to most people is the campus itself."

Location and size was the primary influence for 13 per cent of the 1973-74 freshmen.

Cyclle Walker, KU athletic director, and Marian Washington, assistant women's athletic director, said they would await the final Title IX guidelines.
University reaction to Dykes' letter was mixed.
Faye Dottheim, president of the KU Commission on the Status of Women, said she thought the emphasis Dykes' letter emphasized the vagueness of Title IX was justified.

Ford asks too little, editor says
Ford could ask the people to make bigger sacrifices, particularly in the area of military aid. With a tax on gasoline or raining cars under the United States could decrease its import of oil.
President Gerald R. Ford was asking too little of the people in his recent message to Congress, Donald Diehl, president and vice-president of the Eton (Pa.) Express, said yesterday that he is an editor-in-residence this week at the William Allen White School of Journalism.
A five per cent surtax would hit the low income families too hard, Dieli said. The level of income affected should be raised, and the surtax shouldn't be enacted unless it is accompanied by a thorough closing of tax loopholes.
The American people care so much for absolute honesty and sincerity of government that they are willing to go through this sort of self-torture. Diefel said. It's all going to turn out, in retrospect, to have been a very healthy experience for the country.
"There is some feeling that the Watergate affair has been played up a little too long, in the type of situation has never happened before," she said. "People seemed to want to read about it."
Diehl said he supported the extensive news coverage of Watergate.
Diehl said there was more enthusiasm for investigative reporting. A lot of festering that exists at all levels of government should be covered.
The people that govern are going to be much more carefully selected by the voters, and then the news media are going to watch them more critically, Diehle said. Better performance from our governing bodies would then be expected.
It may be that government people are
been more likely to report
reporters that they have seen what can
happen when the newspapers learn what is going on in the "subterranean vaults" of the museum they may find ways of throwing blockboards in front of the investigative reporter.
However, there is a zeal on the part of the
newspapers, reporters and editors to crack through these barriers, he said.
Newspapers were praised for their coverage of Watergate, Diehl said. But at the same time they were blamed by a lot of people, he said.
