World Issues, Faculty Visits
A week, a war, and a university with questions marks the essence of the United States in World Affairs Week, Dec. 6-10 at KU.
The week will begin with a convocation featuring Gen. Maxwell Taylor, former U.S. ambassador to South Viet Nam, and will include a series of current events films, faculty visits to various living groups and debates and seminars throughout the week.
"THE MOST important issue is Viet Nam, because that's what people are interested in." John Sapp, chairman of the Student Union Activities Featured Speakers Committee, said.
"But we plan to give a comprehensive presentation of all the issues and conflicts in the world," Sapp said.
"We're not trying to convince anyone one way or another, we just want to give students the opportunity to learn more information. It's the question of information that we are concerned with," he said.
Sapp said the programs scheduled for the week are being handled primarily through the SUA
Featured Speakers Committee but the All Student Council and the KU Convocation Committee are helping with Gen. Taylor's visit.
"THEIS IS not a protest week, but will purely bring information to the students," Sapp said. "Other groups, such as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), may schedule meetings during the week," but he added that they were not a part of the SUA programs.
To his knowledge, Sapp said this will be the first time the University has ever tried a program or week similar to the U.S. in World Affairs Week.
The week will begin with a convocation at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 6 in Hoch Auditorium, and will feature Gen. Taylor. At about 12:45 p.m., tentative plans have been made for Gen. Taylor to be the guest speaker at a student-faculty question and answer period.
During the period, questions will be asked based on his remarks at the convocation by a panel, probably composed of both students and faculty members.
The discussion will be moderated by Clifford Ketzel, professor in the Political Science Department and faculty adviser for the SUA Featured Speakers Committee.
ACCORDING TO A tentative schedule, drawn up by the committee, the audience will be requested to submit written questions during the first 30 minutes of the panel questions. The written questions will be screened by Ketzel and then directed to Gen. Taylor during the last part of the period.
During most of the afternoons, the committee has scheduled speeches to be given by various professors on campus who are working with current events in their classes.
A plan to get KU faculty members to visit the living groups on campus during the evenings is also included in the tentative schedule.
Sapp said the committee is in the process of compiling a list of faculty members available. He said each living group will be sent a list and will be able to select the faculty members they would like to visit their group.
Seminar to Discuss Government Relations
KU's Governmental Research Bureau and School of Education are jointly sponsoring a seminar on inter-governmental relations here tomorrow and Friday.
The seminar will be attended by 100 people, primarily city clerks, county clerks, city managers, city commissioners, school superintendents, mayors and several state officials.
"TO SEE HOW to coordinate government services at local level irrespective of boundary lines is the purpose of the seminar," William H. Cape, associate director of the Governmental Research Bureau, said.
Sen. James Pearson will speak tomorrow night at the banquet on "The Nation, The States and Local Government."
"IT WILL BE kind of a first come, first serve program," Sapp said, and the faculty will be sent to the groups that are first to send in their requests.
Friday's addresses will concern the agenda and future of local government.
On Tuesday and Thursday of the week, the committee is planning to show a series of about 12 films dealing with international problems and conflicts.
Some of the suggested films include the Unending Struggle, produced by the U.S. State Department; Moscow-Pekin Relations, produced by the Research Institute on Communist Strategy and Propaganda; German: Red Spy Target, produced by 20th TV Century, and the Associated Press Film on Viet Nam.
