Students to live in Violence rocks Detroit professor's home
Five KU seniors interested in fiction will take over a professor's home next year.
The arrangement is more or less a continuation of a program started last spring, Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said. The five men will live at the Bell home, 1645 Crescent, during the 1967-68 school year while Bell and his family are in England.
Bell will be a visiting professor of history at London University and Sussex University in Brighton.
The men will enroll in a twosemester, six-credit-hour course in 20th century fiction. Classes will be taught at the Bell home by KU faculty members. Visiting speakers also may be invited.
LAST SPRING six men interested in classics lived in the home of Raymond Loehr, professor of civil engineering, in a similar living-learning arrangement.
The system was developed by the students, Bell said, and the students selected themselves for the program.
Jim McCalla, Lawrence; Al Martin, Shawnee Mission; David McClain, Emporia; John Hoppe, Ottawa; and Tom Swale, Prairie Village, will participate in the program.
The men will do their own cooking and housework, and will
continue regular KU classwork, except for Martin and Hoppe, both enrolled in the senior independent study program. They will not attend regular classes, but will do research directed by a KU faculty member.

A POOL OF blood about 12 by 18 inches remained on the floor after she was taken to the hospital.
Officials said the girl apparently stepped off a narrow catwalk used by maintenance personnel to service floodlights in the ceiling.
The catwalk rests on top of the rafters; only a thin strip of wood used to nail the tiles in place and the tiles themselves cover the bottom of the rafters.
THE HOLE through which Miss Kelvin fell was about two feet square.
"If only she'd thrown out her arms," an official said, staring at the hole in the ceiling.
Only three days remained of the six-week Midwestern Music and Art Camp. Miss Kelvin played cello in the concert orchestra at the camp.
EDITOR'S NOTE—Eric Morgenthaler, former editorial editor of the Kansan, is in Detroit this summer working for the Detroit Free Press. This is his account of his involvement in the race riots there.
By ERIC MORGENTHALER
DETROIT—For the past week I have been covering a nightmare.
I work in Detroit, a city now ravaged by fire and looting and paralyzed by fear. As a newspaper reporter, I have been in the center of the most destructive civil disturbance in recent American history.
This has been my baptism by fire to the newspaper profession. Among some of the baptismal rites:
- I was chased down the street by a crowd of several hundred screaming, rock pitching, bottle throwing Negroes.
- I rode with the police to the riot area in a rain of rocks and bottles. In two hours we went through two police cars. They smashed two windshields, two red roof lights were broken and two sets of tires were slashed.
- I have been held at rifle point at least three times by National Guardsmen who found me on the streets after curfew and mistook me for a looter.
- I stood watching with police as looters openly raided stores less than two-hundred yards away. "What can we do?" asked the lawmen. "It's out of control."
- I witnessed with relief the
- I lent a newspaper to a weary and troubled Gov. George Romney.
- I arrived home at 3 one morning only to have terrified neighbors call the state police.
- I drove unnoticed through streets as looters gaily carried away washing machines, televisions, furniture, clothes, and liq-to steal. Detroit's riot area was uors.
I was one of the first tipped-off to the rioting as it broke out Sunday. About 9 a.m. an assistant city editor of the Free Press called me at home with a report of trouble near 12th and Clairmont on Detroit's west side.
I drove to the troubled area and walked 10 blocks through thousands of milling Negroes. Glass from broken shop windows covered the sidewalks. Burglar alarms rang in every block.
Rush plans announced
By MARK CERKOVNIK
Summer rush for all KU students begins July 29 with an informal rush that will last until August 31. Formal rush starts at 2 p.m. Sept. 4 and continues for one week.

Police and riot patrols stood guard in the streets, but it was obvious they would not be able to control the crowds, should they begin to act up.
The open rush is offered for those who have rushed during the summer and have decided which fraternity they will join. A rushee is eligible to pledge a fraternity during the informal rush.
Haugh was born in Hallock, Minn. He graduated from high school and went to Moorhead State College for two years. While barely 18 he began teaching in a junior high school.
When Dr. and Mrs. Oscar Haugh left to see the movie "Up the Down Staircase," they anticipated a pleasant evening's entertainment from the movie of a book they had both read and enjoyed. But when they returned they were very excited.
"Research shows the learning is more permanent when it is taught by the inductive process. However, this is the hardest kind of learning, as well as the most difficult way to teach," he explained.
AS THE DAY wore on the crowd grew and trouble began. Negro leaders tried in vain to get the people off the streets.
After the first day of rioting the situation became worse. Federal troops were called in on Monday and slowly began to restore control in the area. By the time they arrived most of the looting and arson had stopped. There was nothing left to burn, nothing left to steal. Detroit's riot area were totally destroyed.
"Some of my students were almost as old as I was, so I grew a mustache to try to look older," he explained.
Late in the day, the National Guard arrived. Their numbers were comforting, but by the time they were on the streets it was too late for them to do much good.
The throng grew bolder and began throwing rocks and bottles at the police and white reporters. Fires began to break out. Ricters harrassed the fire department. By late afternoon the situation was out of control.
INDUCTIVE reasoning forces the student to take certain known principles, either learned or derived from experimentation, and form his own conclusions. In deductive reasoning, conclusions are reached from knowledgeable facts.
day School and served on the Parish Education Committee for the past three years.
"Do you remember the English textbooks that Miss Barrett described as 'our new books'? They were the ones I wrote!" exclaimed Haugh, professor of language arts education at KU.
No pre-registration is necessary for the formal rushweek, but a fee of $12 will be charged for participating. The fee will cover meals, rooms, and incidentals for the week.
AFTER TEACHING in several different high schools in Minnesota (meanwhile working on his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Minnesota), he went to teach in the St. Paul school system. In 1940 he received his master's degree.
AS THE week went on the danger switched to hidden snipers. They terrified the community much more than the arsonists and looters, because they could not be seen, and could not be anticipated.
He referred to the textbook series "Effective English," a series for grades 9 through 12. Richard Meade, professor of English education at the University of Virginia and Dorothy Sonke, teacher of English in the Grand Rapids, Mich., schools are co-authors.
Two of the Tests for Academic Progress, one in "Composition" and one in "Literature," were finished about two years ago. Presently Haugh is working on an English placement test for incoming college freshmen.
Life in Detroit is returning to normal, although people are still afraid to leave their houses at night. The shattering experience of a devastating riot has made an impression that cannot be removed from the minds of everyone in the Detroit area.
How do I know so much about this man?
Haugh spent several years writing these texts which were published in 1961. This text requires teachers to use the inductive method of teaching rather than the time-honored deductive method.
He's my father.
After the start of World War II, Haugh was drafted. He was deferred twice as a teacher before he finally left for the war. He traveled to Australia before he went to India, where he worked with codes in the counter intelligence corps.
Rushees will be able to see 28 fraternities on the KU campus and will be able to pledge to one of them.
During the school year, Haugh is "on the road" about two days a week visiting student teachers in his capacity as a supervisor of language arts.
HAUGH IS always busy. He is editor of two KU publications, Kansas Studies in Education and the KU Bulletin of Education. He was chairman of the Educational Planning Commission of the Kansas State Teachers Association and president of the Kansas Association of Teachers of English.
As the rush is a period of mutual evaluation, fraternity members will have a chance to meet the rushes.
"I was in India for 23 months,
6 days and 7 hours," he chuckles.
The Interfraternity Council encourages all men, freshmen, sophomores, and junior, to take part in rushweek and find out about fraternity living.
In 1961 he received the HOPE (Honor for Outstanding Progressive Educator) award, which is based on voting by members of the senior class.

HAUGH ALSO became a movie star of sorts while stationed in India. His picture appeared in a newsreel, which enabled his mother and sisters to discover where he was stationed.
The year 1950 was an important one in his life. In the spring he was hired by KU, in the summer he became a father, and in the winter he formally received his Ph.D.
He began teaching in Wisconsin State College after he returned from the war, meanwhile working on his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota.
Now Haugh has spent 16 years at KU.
