New Cultures File Aids in Research
Forage crops of the world? Adolescent behavior in Russia or India? World trends in suicide cases?
For years researchers have felt there must be an easier way to find such information than the long and laborious task of searching through the library index.
There is—and the University of Kansas now has it in Dyche Hall. A matching grant from the National Science Foundation has enabled the anthropology department to become a subscriber of the Human Relations Area Files.
KEITH OTTERBEIN, assistant professor of anthropology, explained, "This makes KU a depository for a unique type of archive of resource and research materials on the peoples and cultures of the world."
The Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) are a new kind of library of the sciences concerned with mankind. HRAF brings information to-
Thirty-four schools from 17 states will enter 48 teams in the ninth annual Heart of America Debate Conference March 11-13 at KU.
Public Works Topic Of 17-State Debate
Southwestern Missouri State College at Springfield will return with several championship-winning debaters in a try for an unprecedented third consecutive first place trophy
A new feature will be judging of the final round by three coaches who will prepare extensive written critiques of the speakers. These critiques and a transcript of the final debate will be published.
The three critics will be Profs. Anabel Hagood, University of Alabama; Robert Scott, University of Minnesota; and John DeBross, University of Southern California.
This year's college debate question is: Resolved, that the federal government should establish a program of public works for the unemployed.
Dr. Donald W. Parson, KU debate coach, is the tournament director. There will be four preliminary rounds on Thursday and Friday. The 16 best teams will enter the elimination brackets Saturday.
All debates will be in the Kansas Union with the final contest starting at 4 p.m. Saturday.
Plaques will be given the 10 outstanding speakers during the conference banquet Friday evening. The selection will be on the basis of speaker ratings during the eight preliminary rounds.
gather in an easily accessible format in one place. This is done by duplication of original materials using a strip-microfibon process which reproduces n, l, line drawings, pictures and extensive text materials.
THE STRIP-MICROFILM archive will then contain materials from about 3,500 books and journals, many so rare as to be almost unattainable.
Students and faculty can now use the files in the anthropology department's quarters in Dyche Hall. When New Fraser Hall is finished about two years from now, they will be moved to the new Behavioral Science Documents Center in that building.
Students Crowd New Art Course
Introductory courses in art history are being taught this semester in the French and German languages, and student enrollment has far e- led expectations.
Mile. Marie-Josephe Dulade-Charpentier, a visiting instructor from Paris, is teaching the French section. Thirty-eight students officially enrolled for the course and about that mar are auditing.
Klaus Berg professor of art history, is teaching the German section, and has 14 students enrolled, and 36 auditing.
Students are required to use the language in asking questions.
"After class," Prof. Berger said, "students may ask questions in English, but this rarely happens." Exams, however, may be written in either English or the foreign language.
As in the regular art history course in English, a general survey of the study is presented to students. However, Mile, Dulade-Charpentier emphasizes French artists and Dr. Berger emphasizes the German artists.
No extensive knowledge of the language is required, but Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of art, recommends "the students have at least two years of language preparation."
Prof. Berger said students derive at least two benefits from the foreign language instruction: a knowledge of art history and extensive practice in conversational French or German.
Students enrolled in the courses have varied backgrounds. French, German, art, history and sociology majors and one student in radiation biophysics are enrolled.

"The Theater Department has certain obligations to the KU students," Kuhlike said, "and to fulfill these, the Departmnt started the Actor-in-Residence program last fall, when Tom Rea (instructor of speech and drama), was appointed the first actor-in-residence.
ADVANCE APPOINTMENTS GET PREFERRED SERVICE
THE DEPARTMENT hopes by appointing professional actors as actors-in-residence to raise the general lever of University theater productions. The department also hopes that the drama majors will profit by working together with these professionals.
KU's second actor in residence-to-be, William Kuhlkle, said when asked in an interview last night why he had decided to become an actor, that "life is too short to do anything else but that which you really want to do."
Kuhike, instructor of speech and drama on leave and whose appointment as KU's second actor in residence becomes official this month, told something about this program and his career.

Second Actor in Residence Kuhlke Finds Life too Short to Waste
Kuhke graduated from Adams State College, Colorado, with majors in English and education. He obtained his Master of Arts from KU in 1959. He started working for his Ph.D. at State University of Iowa.
Kuhlke interrupted his studies to teach at KU. He has been here four years, teaching speech and drama. This semester he is working on his dissertation for his Ph.D.
KUHLKE is studying Russian language and culture with emphasis on Russian theater. To continue his studies, he is supported by a National Defense foreign language fellowship.
Kuhlke hopes to get his Ph.D. in June, after which he will resume teaching.
Kuhlke cannot remember when he started acting, probably at the age of five. Acting has always been an extra-curricular activity for Kuhlke, even during his undergraduate years. During his Air Force service years, he decided to make teaching theater his profession.
AT KU Kuhkle has, among other plays, acted in "Cyrano de Bergerac," "Don Juan in Hell," "Henry IV," and "The Cave Dwellers."
Two weeks ago rehearsals started for "Six Characters in Search of an Author," by Luigi Pirandello. In this play Kuhike plays his first part in his new position of actor-in-residence. He plays the role of the father of six characters who exist only in the imagination of an author. The question posed in the play is what is more real: the imaginary characters or the actors playing them?
The play opens March 12.
