New program open to 'frosh'
The 'College within a College' experiment
includes 450 entering freshmen next fall
By Swaebou Conateh
The "college within a college" experiment, KU's newest program for its entering freshmen, will not be for honor studenty only.
"There will be 450 students," Robert Cobb, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said. "They will be a cross-section of KU's entering freshmen in the fall. There will be no effort to segregate, though there will be some honor students in the group."
THE STUDENTS will live in Ellsworth and Oliver residence halls but Dean Cobb emphasized no classes will be held in the dormitories.
"It won't be a residential college," he said. "We want the students to integrate their living and learning experiences together."
To achieve this aim the students in the experiment will be entering freshmen who will be seeing each other in the introductory classes they attend on the Hill.
Jerry Lewis, assistant dean of the College and program head, said records show most freshmen take specific introductory courses when they enroll.
"ENGLISH IS REQUIRED and all of them do it. Then in descending order are speech, 80 per cent; history, 50 per cent; biology and political science, 40 per cent each, and geography, sociology and psychology, 30 per cent each."
Dean Lewis said these courses seem to be the
more popular on the list of about 20 courses freshmen frequently take.
"English is not the only class they will share," Dean Cobb said. "They will be taking many of the same courses together, though they will discover and choose the courses for themselves.
"WE ARE NOT trying to structure their college program," he emphasized. "All we are doing is making use of an opportunity provided by the information we have on course selection by freshmen.
"The students will still choose the courses they want and then we will pick the 450 in these two dorms at random. We will match the courses of their choice and put them group by group in similar classes determined by their choice of courses."
A POSSIBLE SAMPLE course load for a group, he said, might be English 1, some form of history, biology and Mathematics 2c. A second semester sample for a group might have English 2. Spanish 2, sociology and political science.
"A wider range of choices and address changes will disrupt the continuity of the program in its entity, but we will try to carry on into the sophomore years if possible," Dean Lewis said.
Dean Lewis said 25 of the advisors in the College possibly will be advisors to this group exclusively.
SUA backs forum debut

LANCASTER, Pa. — (UPI) Benjamin H. High, owner of a welding company, is scheduled to start a trip around the world with $2,532.50 in quarters saved as a non-smoker for 10 years.

FRIDAY
High walked into the Lancaster County Farmers National Bank Thursday behind a wheelbarrow containing 10,130 quarters.
By a faculty ruling, students were compelled to attend gym classes or be suspended from the university. This ruling was made in order to recognize the need of physical as well as mental education.
"I started saving them 20 years ago when I gave up smoking," High explained. "I turned up 7,285 quarters 10 years ago."
He said he saved the quarters in a box built into the wall of his
