Students Named CYR Publication Heads
Two KU students from Great Bend have been selected for new positions.
Bob Miner, sophomore and KU Collegiate Young Republican (CYR) chairman, was elected chairman of the first District Young Republicans Saturday in Hays. Richard Smith, junior, is one of two students appointed to the editorial advisory board of "Motive," a magazine of the Methodist student movement.
As chairman of the first district Young Republicans Miner said he will help direct the 1966 campaign for Congressman Bob Dole. This summer Miner will travel throughout Kansas as a field representative for Dole.
Another major decision coming from their meeting on the Fort Hays State College campus in Hays, was the "reorganization of the constitution to provide for four vice-chairmen in the district." Miner said.
The extra executive member will help unite and organize the growing first district, which includes 52 counties in the western half of Kansas, Miner said.
His election to the district position will have no direct effect on the KU-CYR club. But Miner said he would try to initiate changes in all first district CYR clubs, and that any effect on the KU club would result from the overall program.
Smith was elected to the editorial advisory board of the magazine by the Board of Education of the Methodist Church at their annual meeting earlier this month in Atlanta, Georgia.
The function of the group is to discuss ideas and themes to be included in "Motive," Smith said. He will serve as an advisor rather than as a contributor.
"Much of the content of "Motive" has been under fire from members of the church who don't like liberalism or the art in the magazine," the Rev. Don Hull, adviser to the KU Wesley Foundation said.
"Those who don't understand the poetry have been attacking it lately. They says it's obscene," Smith said.
"Motive" is published in Nashville, Tenn., by the division of higher education and the Board of Education of the Methodist Church. The magazine is aimed at the college students, their campus ministers, and faculty.
"Motive" is not limited in circulation to Methodists, Rev. Hull said. "it is for all students."
The Rev. B. J. Stiles of Nashville is editor of the magazine. The advisory board consists of 12 members elected by the Board of Education and three elected by the National Conference of the Methodist Student Movement.
New Math for India
Within the coming year, a number of parents in India are bound to experience the same sort of confusion that has been prevalent in American households during recent years: Peace Corps Volunteers will introduce the new math and science programs to many students there.
At the request of the Indian government, the teachers will be sent to secondary schools in two or three states to introduce modern approaches to science and mathematics instruction.
