For Poor-in-Pennies, KU Still a Playground
For the poor-in-pennies KU student,broke after buying books,the University offers many exciting and interesting things to do free.
The challenge of doing something for nothing, a collegiate tradition from coast-to-coast, is easily conquered for the KU student. Even the man with a date can find something for entertainment.
For a Friday night date treat, the foreign film series offers fairly recent foreign classics. Shown in Hoch Auditorium, these films attract a wide variety of students.
THOUCH THIS YEAR'S film fare has yet to be announced, the film series has featured in the past the controversial Spanish film, "Viridiana," an unusual Japanese film, "The Island," a German World War II movie, "The Bridge," and the prize-winning British film, "Taste of Honey."
There are two other film series on campus—the Popular Film Series sponsored by Student Union Activities, which shows fairly recent American films on Friday and Saturday nights, and the Classical Film Series featuring famous American and European films. Admission to both series is less than a dollar.
Not often thought of as enter-
ammines treated regularly on campus. These may range from deeply intellectual discussions of philosophy to humorous dissertations on student life.
German Award To Professor
The Max Kade distinguished professor of German at KU in 1965-66 will be Heinz O. Burger, chairman of the department of German literature at the University of Frankfurt, Germany.
Prof. Burger, one of the leading authorities on classical German literature, is a member of the Goethe Archives at Frankfurt. He previously was chairman of the department of German and dean of the University of Erlangen, Germany.
The Kade distinguished professorship filled by a visiting scholar carries the regular salary of a professor supplemented by a grant from the Max Kade Foundation of New York.
This will be the second year for a Max Kade distinguished professorship at KU. Last year the post was filled by Dr. Gerhard Storz, minister of education of the Land Wurttenberg-Eaden in West Germany.
KU Produces Top Officers
KU ranked twenty-third among all colleges and universities in the nation in producing top officers for the 600 largest non-financial corporations, according to a study published by the magazine "Scientific American."
The study, "The Big Business Executive/1964," updates an important sociological study performed by Dr. Mabel Newcomer, former head of the department of economics at Vassar College, "The Big Business Executive- The Factors that Made Him: 1900 to 1960."
Nine of the approximately 1,000 "big business executives" in the study received their undergraduate educations at KU, placing it midway on a list of 45 colleges and universities which supplied five graduates or more to this group.
KU also ranked ninth among the 18 state universities on the list, including six representatives of the Big Ten institutions and five representatives of the Big Eight.
ALLEN'S NEWS
The most famous of these are the Humanities Lecture series, held regularly throughout the year and featuring scholars from throughout the country.

MORE TOPICAL lectures are provided by the Current Events Series-All Student Council. Curvities—All Student Council. Current events lecturers the past year were William O. Douglas of the U.S. Supreme Court and Charles Malik, former president of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Minority Opinions Forum presents controversial speakers and national leaders. More than 4,000 KU students heard George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi Party, at a Minorities Opinion Forum lecture in 1963. Other speakers have been Homer Tomlinson, head of the Theocratic Party, and Herbert Apheker, director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies.
On the lighter side of inexpensive entertainment are the SUA Poetry Hours. These weekly sessions feature well-known poets or KU faculty reading works of other writers. Students often gather on the floor of the Music Room of the Kansas Union to hear a reading of Kniling or Keats.
LANGSTON HUGHES, a well-known American poet, and Robert Creeley, a poet of the Beatnik-school, were among established poets who read their works before Poetry Hour audiences last year.
A KU student suffering the pangs of temporary poverty can still take advantage of the offerings of the school of fine arts.
The University Concert Course brings famous symphonies from throughout the U.S. to the campus. KU's own orchestra and various musical groups give frequent recitals.
Not even the world of the theater is out of bounds for the broke.
A KU-ID card will admit a student to a University Theatre performance free or — on special occasions—at reduced rates. This year's productions include "My Fair Lady" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
KU'S TWO MUSEUMS — the Museum of Art and Dyche Natural History Museum—can offer hours of browsing pleasure. The
art museum features works by John Stewart Curry, Winslow Homer, Edouard Manet, Bronzini and Benjamin West.
The Natural History Museum is famous for its life-like panoramas representing the native plants and animals of all the world's climates. Exhibits from Indian cultures, prehistoric animals and the legendary Comanche, the only survivor of Custer's Last Stand, are also in Dyche.
KU-by-budget, even a small budget, is no problem to the imaginative. The largeness and variety of the campus provide many inexpensive entertainments, and for the really penniless, the legendary campus beauty can provide many romantic—and cheap—walks in the moonlight.
