Students fuzzy on CC
Asked if they know what the Centennial College is, students' answers ranged from "Yeah, sort of . . ." to "No, I don't—but I'm sure as hell curious about it."
"Nobody's ever defined it. I know they're using it as an experimental group, but I don't know the why's and wherefores," said Lee Stierwalt, Huron, Ohio, special student.
"I found out what it was after

the English Pro," said Mary Sue Peters, Godfrey, Ill., junior. "There was a question about it on
the exam, so I asked some of my friends what it was.
"IT SEEMS LIKE a good idea," she said, "especially when you're a freshman. Freshmen are so much more reluctant to ask questions about things they don't know just because they think the questions are stupid."
Miss Peters said she especially liked the ideas of small classes and students in the same classes being quartered together.
"Haven't heard much about it," said Mary Willingham, Kirkwood, Mo., freshman. "Is that where they're trying to experiment with freshmen? Don't think I'd like that."
"SOUNDS LIKE a good opportunity," commented Bob Druten, Kansas City sophomore. "Seems having classes together would be a lot more convenient."
"I definitely would like being in it," said Landon Nichols, Lawrence graduate student. "I think it's a great idea. I don't know how it's working out.
"I'm an instructor in Western Civilization and I know I'd like the opportunity of just getting together with my students and talking." Nichols said.
"I can't see that it's going to make any big, elaborate change," said Stephanne Stone, Overland Park freshman. "I wouldn't want
to be limited. They're not going to meet very many people."
"ALL THE STUDENTS on each floor are taking the same subjects in the same major," explained Alan Middendorf, Topeka senior. "They can make friends and it would be easier to study." Middendorf said he would like to enter such a program.
Debate teams rank
IN A NOVICE debate tournament at Kansas State University, four KU teams compiled the second best record among the 40 competing schools.
KU debaters returned from two tournaments this weekend with high-ranking records.

Freshman teams were Carolyn Watson, West Plains, Mo., and David Jeans, Independence, Mo.; Kathie Delp, Topeka, and Eugene Brault, Topeka; Larry Gregg, Topeka, and Jim Van Orsdol, Topeka; and Harry Patek, Chillicothe, Mo., and Doug Jydstrup, Las Vegas, Nev.
Jayhawk debaters tied for fourth place at Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, by defeating schools from across the country, including the University of Chicago, Purdue, Michigan, and Southwest Missouri State. Twenty-five schools were entered in the tournament.
"I've got some idea. The students live with the teachers," explained Fred Fichman, Mission junior.
Judson Briegel, Kansas City senior, and Sharon Mahood, Springfield, Mo., senior, won six rounds and lost two.
"I CAN SEE its goals," added Fichman. "Closer contact between teacher and the student in small groups."
