Freedom at last!
Keys out today
Today junior and senior women will receive the keys or cards which allow them to choose their own hours.
With the beginning of the junior-senior key program in sight at KU, students, administrators and housemothers expressed optimism and confidence in the new system.
Mrs. Cletus E. Mason, housemother, said: "I feel that most young ladies who come to college can take care of themselves. I don't think that when girls get to be juniors and seniors they should have to worry about being 20 or 30 minutes late. The University has done a fine job with the organization of this system and I'm sure they wouldn't have created it if they didn't think it would be of benefit to the girls."
Mrs. Kala Stroup, assistant dean of women, said: "I think it will work out fine. KU women are very mature, you know, and most groups have come up with very good systems."
On parental reaction to the system, Mrs. Stroup said: "There were, of course, reactions all across the state last spring—both for and against it. There has been very little unfavorable reaction this fall, however. I think that as soon as girls got home and explained the system and policy behind it to their parents, they were agreeable."

ANOTHER housemother, Mrs. Ralph Park, said: "I don't anticipate any problems with the new system. We've never had any trouble with the senior keys and I don't see that this will be any different."
"I think they're great," Carol Uhlig, Kansas City senior, said. "I think they will work well if everyone will accept them not only as a deserved gift, but as a responsibility also."
BOTH MEN and women students on the campus, spoke in favor of the keys.
Jerry Hoskins, Bonner Springs senior, said: "I think it's excellent. Juniors and seniors are certainly mature enough to regulate their own lives. To be sure, there's the possibility that the system may be abused. But even so, it ought to be given a fair chance to demonstrate its practicality."
Three-fourths of the possible job placements in the debuting KU Work-Study Program are yet to be filled, Doug Henning, assistant director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said yesterday.
Job opportunities galore
Of 200 openings available, probably only 50 persons are on the program or close to employment.
ALL JOBS are within the university system and on campus. Maximum work load is 15 hours, because "we feel a student is here to go to school, not seek employment," he said. Base pay is $1 per hour.
There's no deadline on applications for the program. Requirements are U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, obvious financial need, good standing in the university and a minimum course load of 12 hours.
The program "runs the gamut of occupations," and the staff "tries to line the student up with a job he has some interest in, though that's not always the case."
Med center gets grant
The pediatrics department of the KU Medical Center has received a $245,901 grant from the Children's Bureau of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Dr. Wilks Hiatt, director of ambulatory pediatric care at the Medical Center, said the funds will be used to supply comprehensive health care for children in the northeast district of Kansas City.

ONCE A STUDENT is declared eligible for the program, the hiring and firing are done by the interested department, not the Work-Study staff.
Henning said lack of response is due partly to lack of publicity
Henning said, "We just qualify the student, but just because he is eligible, we can't guarantee a job. It's up to the individual." "Henning said lack of response"
and partly to the instability of students' schedules during the first few weeks of school. "Now they can determine whether they have time enough to work."
