Residence Hall Association Plans To Publish Monthly Newsletters
A new constitution providing for a monthly newsletter was put into effect at a conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH). Jim Tschechtelim, Shawnee Mission junior, reported.
Armed Marines Protect Citizens
SANTO DOMINGO — (UPI) — Armed Marines deployed in this revolt-torn city today to protect and evacuate Americans and other foreigners trapped by a bloody insurrection in which an estimated 400 Dominicans have been killed and 1,200 injured.
Street fighting continued between rebels, many of them heavily armed civilians, and loyalist military units.
Four hundred Marines landed in the Dominican Republic to escort them to safety if necessary. Another 1,000 Marines were standing by in ships off-shore.
THE MARINES took up positions around the Ambassador Hotel, seven miles from downtown Santo Domingo, which has been designated as the assembly point for Americans and other foreigners who want to get out of the country.
Phi Kappa Theta Celebrates 75th Year
Phi Kappa Theta, social fraternity, 1120 West 11th, is celebrating the closing of its 75th anniversary year tonight.
John J. Riling, 1140 Tennessee, and a charter member of Epsilon chapter at KU which was chartered on Oct. 2, 1915, will be the guest of honor at an alumni dinner tonight.
The national fraternity was chartered on April 29, 1889, in Hope Hall at Brown University in Providence, R.I., as Phi Kappa. The fraternity merged with another national social fraternity, Theta Kappa Phi, in 1958 and the combined fraternities became known as Phi Kappa Theta.
Phi Kappa Theta has 62 chapter houses in 30 states and Montreal, Canada.
Don Duff, Topeka junior, is president of the local chapter.
The updating of the present constitution was done to fit the present structure and the growing membership of the NACURH.
"With the newsletter in the new constitution more capable people will be able to take over and interest all over the country will be utilized." Tschecheltelin said.
One of the biggest changes concerns the conference site, which was previously selected by popular vote. It will now be chosen by the executive committee which includes the president, vice-president, and four regional presidents of the national organization.
One of the questions raised concerning discipline was the problem of the borderline case.
Members of the conference also agreed to promote the "Esso" project, the education branch of the Esso gasoline company. On completing research on the maximum
utilization of residence halls as education factors, grants up to $75,000 will be awarded to individual schools.
With the money from these grants, the members of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) will look into the many possible changes that will improve residence halls for study purposes.
For instance, a change of furniture and room design may have some effect upon studying or a larger library may raise academic achievement. Another possibility is the training of resident hall student government in group dynamics and human relations.
At the present a student may sleep, study, and relax in his room. These functions may be narrowed down to only sleeping quarters. Studying and relaxing will be done elsewhere.
