Apathy is nothing—
Continued from page 9 issues, there could arise a situation as in France where there are many multi-parties which only confuse the issues rather than solve them."
CONCERNING THE formulation and direction of policies by the government, he said, "The government agencies are very selective of the people who are accepted, this includes high educational standards and awareness of their areas.
"However, I'm less tolerant toward apathy on the campus in relation to national and international issues because students should be, by their education, more aware of the issues in the world. This does not mean I'm worried about it as much as I'm disappointed," said Ketzel.
"I have a great deal of respect for those students who do get involved in issues, although the vocal minorities are forced to engage in methods of self-defeat to get people on their side. They become more excessive in their methods, which defeat +9 their entire purpose," Ketzel said.
To a foreign student as Abdul Said, Saudi Arabia senior, there is much apathy on the campus and the nation.
"Many people seem to sit in front of the television for hours and hours and watch the very attractive programs that don't seem to have any real importance. A lot of people, when they get a newspaper, turn to the sports page first, and usually they don't get beyond it," Said said.
"Another example of apathy that bothers me is the indifference in regard to foreign students at KU. There are 680 foreign students here, but there is seldom
any contact between the American and foreign students."
When Said first came to the United States he said he did not expect Americans to be so apathetic.
"In other parts of the world America is a super nation and it is just expected that the American public would be more informed than they are. Many nations need American help, but again most Americans seem indifferent, not all of them, of course, which is fortunate."
Said added that he thought the American public is not the only people who are apathetic. "I think most countries are apathetic toward each other.
"If there is continued apathy on the part of the people of the world, I think this will constitute a real danger in the near future. We can only meet the needs and problems of the world by a positive attitude. It doesn't seem that most of the people are aware of this danger, which may lead to a nuclear war."
Establish loan fund
A $1,000 loan fund for students in the School of Education has been established by Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Sherwood, Middletown, R.I., in memory of Mrs. Sherwood's father, the late Dr. F. B. OBrien.
Professor OBrien had been a faculty member of the School of Education for 36 years when he retired in 1956. He died in Lawrence in June 1963.
The OBrien loan fund will be administered by the Office of Aids and Awards. This office annually
handles more than $3 million in loans and scholarships for KU students.
When Professor OBrien joined the faculty of the University in 1920, he became director of the Bureau of Educational Research and Service, a post he held until 1947.
