SPU head outlines plans for semester
Dean Abel, Michigan City, Ind., graduate student and president of the Student Peace Union (SPU), gave a general business report and briefly outlined the organization's plans for the rest of the semester at the meeting last night in the Kansas Union.
Abel said part of the local chapter took part in the anti-Viet Nam war demonstration march in Kansas City last week-end, as part of the International Days of Protest, March 26 and 27.
ABEL SAID the SPU chapter here did not sponsor the march, which included about 150 demonstrators, because of the possibility of someone entering the demonstration with a sign supporting the position of the Viet Cong, or National Liberation Front (NLF).
"Our organization does not take a stand on one side or the other," Abel said. "We are working for peace, and we condemn both sides of the conflict."
He said that the only scheduled activity for SPU this spring is a demonstration during the Chancellor's Review of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) units here on campus. He explained that this has become sort
of a tradition with SPU more than anything else.
"SINCE ROTC HAS become completely voluntary, it is not much of an issue," he said. "In fact, it has become sort of a symbol."
Abel went on to say that, in his opinion, protesting symbols all the time is rather self-defeating.
In a business report, Abel reported that SPU raised $11.50 at its "Peace Table" in the Union last week, which covered the cost of the last two bulletins which the organization has published.
Muslim Society to host festival
Members of the KU Muslim Society will celebrate the sacrifice of Abraham with a festival Friday and Sunday, said Zafar Israili, Moradadad, India, graduate student and president of the society.
Two books on education by KU faculty members have recently been published. They are "Pragmatism in Education," by Ernest E. Bayles, professor of education, and "The Growth of American Educational Thought and Practice," by Bayles and Bruce L.
The first book deals with the influence of pragmatism in educational purpose and procedures. It is one of a series of paperbacks of which Bayles is editor.
The second book is a history of American education in which events are described as they were formed by ideas, such as the Puritan idea of education for salvation, the theory of education as habit formation and education as growth and unfolding.
Hood, assistant professor of education.
