MONEY TO VIET NAM
Service aids students
Today's is a paradoxical age filled with numerous associations and at the same time purposes starving of fulfillment. The cynical indifference on a college campus sometimes denies an organization the recognition necessary to its continued effectiveness.
Such an organization is World University Service (WUS). This organization is the destination of the money to be collected in this year's second semester Campus Chest Drive, April 18 to May 1.
The All Student Council committee in charge of this drive
chose WUS over other charity organizations for three reasons. First, the money goes to collegeage students. Second, the program is designed to be a self help venture; WUS provides half the funds and the group being helped provides the rest. The third factor is the Campus Chest Committee can tag where the KU money should go.
ACCORDING TO Jean Hardy, Hoisington junior and Campus Chest Committee member, the funds collected from KU students will be destined for India and
Viet Nam. The emphasis in Viet Nam will be on educational aid for students who are still trying to be students, she said.
WUS claims that 35 cents will provide three meals per day at a WUS Cooperative canteen in India. Eleven dollars per month will enable a Vietnamese student to continue his studies with a service scholarship. One hundred dollars will send $2,000 worth of drugs to a student health center in Asia.
Educators to meet here four weeks
Twenty-seven Latin American educators will be at KU the next four weeks attending the Seventh Seminar on Higher Education in the Americas.
The annual seminar, sponsored by the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils and directed by George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will start its annual meetings Saturday and conclude April 29.
THE SEMINAR INCLUDES writers, university professors and administrators. They will consider the relationship between the university and the community and the community and national development.
The Latin American delegates, representing 15 Central and South American countries, will meet daily in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union.
The seminar is divided into four sections with varied titles, Lewis Tyler, interpreter and conference assistant, said.
- Student Welfare, a question of what university development signifies to students.
- The subjects to be treated are: The University Society, a notion of "development" with respect to nation, university and university-society interdependence.
- General Studies, or its equivalent, Liberal Arts education versus professional studies.
- The University Administration and activities in national development, an interrogation on how to deal with proliferating knowledge, professions and specializations.
Tyler described the seminar as

"a unique opportunity to bring together distinguished leaders in Latin American higher education to investigate the problems of critical and common importance, mainly in the area of university and regional-national developments.
"IN COOPERATIVE EFFORT each participant will be able to outline some of the problems encountered in his institution while gaining insight not only from those presented by their Latin American colleagues, but from their North American counterparts," Tyler said.
Each participant will write a paper on "The University's Responsibility for Regional and National Development." The essays will be published and distributed throughout the Americas to educational and research centers for action resources.
The seminar participants not only will dedicate their time to academic issues, but they also will have the opportunity to attend part of KU's centennial celebrations as well as touring nearby cities and visiting the Truman Library, the Nelson Art Gallery and Fort Leavenworth.
Through self-help and mutual assistance projects, students in over 60 countries in the world lend their support under WUS guidance to their peers in needy academic communities. WUS is interested primarily in improving overcrowded, unhygienic living conditions and in improving physical and mental health so a student can get the full benefit from his education.
WUS WAS originally an effort to rehabilitate uprooted European students after the first World War. WUS now takes welfare projects that other welfare agencies leave out for some reason.
Because it does not have a specific program, WUS is on the look out for any unfulfilled needs of a university community.

Local, state governments are "big business" says Hill
Local and state government was described as big business by Republican Representative Clyde Hill, speaker of the Kansas House, at a Phi Delta Phi law fraternity meeting last night.
He spoke about the practice of a country lawyer and his opportunity for public service. He said, "A lawyer must enjoy his work and work hard at it, live where he wants to live, learn to get along with people and fit his ambitions to the situation."
Rep. Hill said lawyers have a responsibility and obligation to know something about this business of government.
HE SAID THAT it is most important, especially in a rural community, for a lawyer to learn the language of the people and to convince them that he will give
them good service and become a part of their community.
"To accomplish this a lawyer must have a decent office in which to work, use modern office equipment, do neat work and keep abreast of the changing times. One of the hardest jobs a young lawyer has to learn is how to set a fee not too high and not too low."
Hill said, "The community lawyer is usually one of the best educated people in a town. As such, he must assume the responsibility of knowing who spends the local government's money and for what. Government is big business—know it."
