Professor Finds Korea Interesting
The political awareness of Korean students attracted the interest of Felix Moos, a KU professor, on a recent trip to the Asian country.
Moos, associate professor of anthropology, recently returned from his fourth trip to Korea as a research scientist of internal security in conjunction with the Human Factors and Operations Research Unit in Korea.
Moos also went to Korea during the Korean war when he served in the Army and in 1958 when he taught at the University of Tokyo as a Fulbright scholar, and in 1961 when he participated in governmental work in internal security in conjunction with the University of Maryland.
Moos commented that education in Korea is less structured teaching than in the U.S. Attendance at classes is not required and there are no exams except for the final.
The responsibility rests on the Korean student himself to get the most from his educational opportunities, he said. Their method of study is best compared to our graduate program.
When asked to compare the Korean and American student, Moos said, "The Korean student is much more politically minded than the American student."
the favorite subjects of the Korean students are literature, philosophy, and political science, he said. In comparison, their technical schools are less developed than ours.
Moos' twofold work in Korea included work on the "U.S. Army Area Handbook for Korea" and teaching anthropology. His contributions to the Army handbook included such diversified subjects as ethnic groups, religion, social values and patterns of living, national security, the latter including public order and safety, subversive potentialities, and the armed forces in North and South Korea.
KU-SDS to Support National Protest

Wednesday, October 27, 1965
A massive march on Washington, D.C., for peace in Viet Nam has been planned by a group of famous Americans, according to a spokesman for the KU chapter of Students for a Democratic Society.
The march is scheduled to start in front of the White House on Nov. 27, and will not formally incorporate specific protest groups, James Masters, Lawrence graduate student and editor of a KU-SDS magazine, said.
ACCORDING TO a communique Masters received from the campus branch of Americans for Democratic Action, the march is "a call to mobilize the conscience of America . . . toward the goal of a negotiated settlement in Viet Nam."
Masters said the march is the first such demonstration approved by campus ADA, "because it is sponsored by individuals, not by organizations."
Persons who are helping organize the protest include Saul Bel-
KU Phi Beta Kappa Plans 75th Anniversary Dinner
The 75th anniversary of KU chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will be observed October 28 with a membership dinner followed by a public address by the year's visiting Phi Beta Kappa scholar.
Walter H. C. Laves, chairman of the department of government at Indiana University, will speak on "Higher Education and the World Community." This public lecture is tentatively scheduled
for the Forum Room of the Kansas Union at 8 p.m.
Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, president of the KU chapter, has invited Phi Beta Kappa members from eastern and central Kansas and greater Kansas City for the anniversary.

low, author of the novel "Herzog"; Albert D. Sabin, who developed the oral polio vaccine; playwright Arthur Miller; H. Stuart Hughes, professor of history at Harvard University; and Jules Feiffer, satirical cartoonist.
THE ORGANIZERS say that "the tone of the march will be affirmative and creative. There will be no civil disobedience. All signs will be provided in Washington except those indicating cities and schools of origin, which should be brought by the marchers. There will be no organizational signs or literature."
Masters said the aims and reasons for the March correspond very closely with KU-SDS policy on the war in Viet Nam. "I feel certain that KU-SDS will lend ful support to this effort," Masters said.
Although no national organization has been invited to participate formally in the March, national SDS and the campus ADA are urging their members to participate in the march.
In a statement which Masters says is "almost identical" to a KU-SDS resolution passed last
August, the march organizers declare: We see no gain coming from the war in Viet Nam. We see only the growing victimization of the Vietnamese people, the erosion of a better society at home, and the clear possibility of a world conflict.
