Law, Psychiatry Combine To Form New Dimension
A new dimension has been added to the study of Law, according to Ralph Slovenko, KU law professor.
The combining of the study of Law and Psychiatry opens new avenues of approach for lawyers, according to Slovenko. The professor teaches a course never before taught on KU's campus; "Law and Behavioral Science."
Slovenko, who has a Ph.D. in Psycho-Dynamics, said the purpose of the course is to give the law student an effective exposure to clinical and behavioral experiences. Students also learn the techniques of the behavioral scientists as they are taught to interrelate the motives of human behavior with the law.
"The time may come when every lawyer may have some psychiatric training." Slovenko said. Lawyers are also called counselors, he said, and thus, should have some knowledge of psychiatrics to counsel their clients more effectively.
"This training will prove invaluable to any lawyer in any aspect of the law—in fact it is valuable to all people," Slovenko said.

Students in his class make weekly journeys to Topeka to visit the Topeka State Hospital and other medical institutions.
The small class size and varied educational methods such as these trips are cited as advantages by Slovenko.
"In large classes students and teachers are unable to engage effectively in discussion," he said. "Lectures in large classrooms may be similar and have the same effect as a speech given in an auditorium for the student's entertainment."
Slovenko also holds a joint appointment, half with the Menninger Foundation in Topeka and half with the KU law school.
Humphrey Pushes Party 'Vigor'
TOPEKA—Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey yesterday called for a "breakthrough" of the Democratic party in Kansas politics.
The Vice-President spoke at a $100-a-plate fund raising dinner in the Exposition Hall at the Mid-America Fairgrounds.
HUMPHREY SAID the Democrats have an opportunity in 1966 for a Democratic senator and congressman from Kansas.
"We have a chance to put Democrats in high state offices here in Topeka," Humphrey said.
He said the party faces the question of whether the Democrats can continue the trend set in 1964 when President Johnson received a plurality of 74,000 votes.
HUMPHREY AND his wife, Mrs. Muriel Humphrey, arrived at Forbes Air Force from St. Louis. With them were Mr. and Mrs. J. Floyd Breeding, a former U.S. Representative from the old fifth district.
At a press conference Humphrey was asked about the possible candidacy of Breeding for the Senate.
"I'll let Kansans take care of that," said Humphrey. Breeding said he had no announcement at this time.
During his speech, Humphrey assured the audience that President Johnson was successfully recovering from his surgery.
HUMPHREY SAID he has performed several duties for the President while he recuperates. "The President is feeling well," Humphrey added.
The vice-president returned to Washington earlier todav.
Shortly before Humphrey's arrival last night at the Hotel Jayhawk, police received a report of a man carrying a rifle.
U. S. SECRET Service agents and Topeka police moved in and searched the area.A patrolman was ordered to the roof of the Elks Club building across the street.
Secret Service agents said later they located the man. He told agents he was taking his shotgun to a store to have a choke installed.
ASC Fills Students Spare Time
KU students' "spare time" is the concern of the All Student Council's Executive Department of Student Activities.
Martha Lanning, Lawrence sophomore and department secretary, said the committees in her department are responsible for organizing and coordinating activities for students to participate in.
There are six committees striving to provide students with educational and entertaining student activities.
The Social Committee is responsible for developing a comprehensive and meaningful social program at KU.
Don Huber, Overland Park senior and committee chairman, said his committee has four functions; the regulation of campus social activities, the discipline of groups that violate social regulations, the development of a proper social attitude on campus, and the service of helping groups plan their activities.
The Traditions Committee is responsible for promoting school spirit and informing the student of KU tradition.
Jim Prager, Atchison junior and committee chairman said his
Last in a Series
committee selects and supervises the cheerleading staff. It also organizes the school spirit and pregame rallies.
The Student-Faculty Convocations and Lectures Committee works with the University in obtaining speakers for the convocation ceremonies and for student lectures.
Larry Meeker, Garden City junior and committee chairman, said the committee has arranged
for General Maxwell Taylor to speak o the student body this semester.
The Student-Faculty Film Series Committee organizes the free films which appear in Hoch Auditorium.
Carol Slocum, Dallas, Texas senior and committee chairman, said her committee works with KU in compiling the list of films which appear and help in arranging their scheduling.
Susan Taylor, Wichita sophomore and committee chairman, said her committee works in conjunction with the Student Union Activities Current Events Committee.
The Current Events Committee invites prominent speakers to the campus to speak in programs concerning current events of particular interest to the students.
Jerry Barney, Calgary, Canada sophomore and committee chairman, said it is the function of his committee to categorize potential student leaders according to various criteria, such as the student's past activities, his student interest, and some subject analysis by a responsible member of his living group.
She said they are presently organizing a program which would provide student living groups with the opportunity to have current events discussions or talks by faculty members in their houses.
Barney said they will distribute questionnaires to freshmen in the near future. According to the students' answers, the committee will evaluate their interests and submit their names to the proper organizations or committees.
The Student Leadership Program finds, secures pertinent information to, and files reports about any and all potential leaders in the student living groups.
In addition to the three departments of committees there are two additional committees and one office which come under the supervision of the executive division of the ASC.
Bob Rosser, Topека junior who presently holds the position, said he works in conjunction with the ASC treasurer to make sure the committees don't spend more money than they are allocated.
The Executive Comptroller controls the expenditures of all the executive committees.
George Tannous, Lebanon senior and committee member, said a student who, because of some obedient action has been summoned to appear before the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women and upon receiving their decision believes it to be unfair, may appeal the decision to the Disciplinary Committee.
The Disciplinary Committee is the highest appealing court on the campus in student disciplinary matters.
Tannous added, "Many times in the past students have been suspended and then re-instated by the committee and put on probation."
The Union Operating Board is charged with advising the staff of the Kansas Union on their day to day procedure.
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission second year law student and member of the committee said, "As a committee we try to be as responsive as possible, within the limits of good judgment, to the needs of the people on the campus. We are always open to suggestions and thoughts about the services of the Union."
