Alumni Gather Across U.S. For Round of Spring Meets
By Jacke Thayer
Spring has come—and with it, a rash of spring alumni meetings for Vince Bilotta, field secretary for the KU Alumni Association.
The 54 Kansas alumni chapters and the 54 chapters outside Kansas keep Bilotta busy during the fall and spring. Between March 30 and April 28, 27 meetings have been scheduled throughout the U.S. and Bilotta plans to attend 22 of them.
"Most of the clubs hold meetings once a year, others do not hold them as often—perhaps once every other year." Bilotta said. "Others only meet when they get the opportunity."
BILOTTA SAID the KU office notifies alumni groups when he or another representative will be in a particular geographic area.
"Often they will get a meeting together then, but it might be the only formal meeting they ever have," he said. "If we're going to be in a bowl game, or have basketball or football games in a certain city, it gives us a good opportunity to cover the area."
"Sometimes groups write to us, asking for a representative at their meetings," Bilotta said. "But normally we can't afford to go to the meetings if we have no plans to be in those areas of the country."
ALREADY, THE KU office is making tentative plans for next fall. The program for each of these meetings varies, Bilotta said.
"We generally try to have a speaker from the campus with us who gives information about the campus and university programs in general,
ACCOMPANYING Bilotta on the first round of spring alumni jaunts will be Donald Alderson, dean of men.
and who also talks about his own field," he said.
"If you have a local president who is interested in football, your program will be more athletically-oriented." he said. "If he is interested in the rare book collection in Watson Library, obviously the program will be more academically-oriented."
Attendance at local meetings also varies widely, Bilotta said. KU students are encouraged to attend the meetings when they are at home, according to Bilotta.

The new direction of educating the retarded child was outlined last night by Dr. Lloyd Dunn, from Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn., who has done extensive research in the education of the mentally retarded.
The education of the educable mentally retarded child should be carried out in a new direction.
TRAINING should center on the psycho-motor development as well as mental education.
Retarded Discussed
"We need to take a fresh look at a training of intellect," Dr. Dunn said. IQ scores are far from constant. Preschool years are a particularly formidable period. Others, besides the natural mothers, can produce environment more conducive to intellect, Dr. Dunn said.
He is among 12 students named to the SUA Board following interviews conducted during the last part of February and the first of March.
The students will coordinate and organize committees for the various activities which SUA sponsors throughout the year. All art exhibits, tournaments, special guests, lecturers, and other special events sponsored by SUA are under the direction of these students.
OTHERS NAMED to the executive positions on the Board were: vice president, Rick Harrington, Terre Haute, Ind., junior; secretary, Mary Lucinda (C.C.) Waller, Girard sophomore; and treasurer, Philip (Pat) McGrath, Prairie Village sophomore.
Special Education
The following people have been named chairmen of eight key committees on the SUA Board. Nick Brocker, Prairie Village sophomore, has been announced the new chairman of the arts and exhibits committee, which supervises all exhibits feared in the Union Building.
George W. (Bill) Frick, Ft. Scott unior, has been named president of he Student Union Activities Board.
The third area of study should be in language development, according to Dr. Dunn. Language development can be divided into three sub-divisions. They include method of communication, instrument for thought, and orienting reflect.
MANY OF THE educational methods for the mentally retarded have not advanced since the days around the turn of this century when it was believed that residence schools were rehabilitation centers, according to Dr. Dunn.
Karen Miller, Omaha, Neb., junior, is the new head of the dance committee.
Dr. Dunn:
NUMEROUS STUDIES along this line have concluded the following, according to Dr. Dunn:
1. retarded children as a group make as much progress in regular
HEAD OF THE hospitality committee is Linda Tebbe, Memphis, Tenn., sophomore. The hospitality committee extends all courtesies to visiting guests.
