Professor Says
Problems Meet New Leaders
Problems involved in running a successful committee or organization in student government were discussed at the Freshman Leadership Program last night in the Kansas Union.
Howard Baumgartel, head of the Human Relations Department, was guest speaker at last night's meeting sponsored by the All Student Council.
Prof. Baumgartel listed eight problems for the freshmen, which he said they might encounter in a position of leadership.
HE SAID HE the leader has a great difficulty in "getting his people to follow through" because they feel "no personal commitment to the committee."
Prof Baumgartel noted that too many student organizations "plan things that are almost impossible to complete in a semester."
"The leader must make a realistic time schedule with an adequate division of labor," he added.
He listed another problem of leadership as being the "manipulator." He explained that he meant the per-
Phys Ed Building Just Section of Master Plan
The present phase in the KU master plan for campus development construction of the physical education building-is making satisfactory progress.
Keith Lawton, vice chancellor of operations, said bad weather had caused some delay, but the overall situation had been fortunate. Foundation pilings are in place and a considerable number of the foundation walls have been poured for the building east of Allen Field House.
Besides construction of the new physical education building, Lawton said other construction projects were underway on campus.
Probably of the most immediate importance to students is the construction of the service road and walks to the west campus area. Lawton said the road would connect the west campus with Zone N parking lot north of Allen Field House.
He said work on the road had been delayed because of weather, but said work should proceed rapidly when dry weather arrives. The road is designed to reduce the congestion that often occurs on Engle Road at the only exit from the west campus area.
"DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE on their superficial characteristics. There are hidden resources of talent in some people," Prof. Baumgartel said. The other problems which he listed were:
The next step in construction on campus would be the Biological and Life Sciences Building to be built east of Summerfield Hall in the present location of Robinson Annex and the tennis courts.
Construction of the new physical education building would be followed by the next key link in the master plan—a new Fraser Hall. This building will be located in the area now partially occupied by the old pioneer statue. Plans call for the present Fraser Hall land to be left free of construction, forming an attractively landscaped open green area.
son who joins a committee simply for the honor and not due to any interest in that group's work.
Completion of these two buildings will make possible the removal of Haworth Hall and Robinson Gymnasium in the "heart of the campus" to make way for construction of the largest classroom building on campus. Both of the present structures have been termed "hopelessly inadequate."
- Insuring that all opinions, including those of the minority, are heard when discussing the possible solutions to a problem.
- Knowing which committee members are dependent upon the chairman for instructions and which ones can function independently.
Bill to Give Teacher Punishment Authority
TOPEKA —(UPI)— A bill was introduced Wednesday giving teachers and principals the right of parental authority over pupils.
Rep, Don Teter, D-Arkansas City, introduced the bill authorizing teachers and principals to inflict corporal punishment, providing the punishment was not "maliciously administered" and not lasting or permanent" causing injury to the child.
- Understanding what the committee members want out of the committee so that the chairman can possibly stop the turnover in his members.
- Knowing how cohesive the group will be by the amount of attraction which it holds for the participants.
- Determining how much "productivity" can be expected from the members.
KU Improvements Await Funds Okay
Kieth Lawton, vice chancellor of operations, said an apparent low bid of $6,513 from a Topeka lumber company for new laboratory equipment furniture for the pharmacy school had been taken under advertisement.
Several campus improvements projects will be underway in the near future after pending contracts are approved.
Another apparent low bid has also been received for the replacement of almost 90 per cent of the street light heads on campus.
Contracts are also in process for the replacement of the deteriorated underside eyes of Bailey Hall.
