Professor's professor
CC vs. demonstrations
By JILL BRANDT
"A change has to be made at Berkeley. They don't concentrate enough on the undergraduates and that's one of the major reasons they have so much trouble there.
"The political demonstrations are merely secondary. What the students really want is to be recognized." Aldon Bell, 1967 winner of the HOPE (Honor for Outstanding Progressive Educator) award, said.
An associate professor of history and assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Bell was a principal figure in originating Centennial College at KU.
"OUR GOAL WAS to provide the benefits of both a large university and a small college. We wanted to show the intimacy and care of a small college while at the same time provide the resources found in a large university."
These two factors, according to Bell, are lacking at Berkeley, thus suggesting a possible reason for some of the protests there. Bell attended Berkeley for one year a few years ago and said he could see the trouble even then.
"Since the beginning of our Centennial College and the onset
of the trouble at Berkeley, we have received many letters from the Berkeley administration asking about our program. We are, of course, willing to help them."
As for the success of KU's Centennial College after one year, Bell evaluated it this way:
"We ARE DEFINITELY off to a very, very good start. There won't be, of course, any dramatic results visible to outsiders, but we are on the way to meeting our goals. We'll be able to tell by how confident our students are in their junior and senior years exactly how much we have accomplished."
Besides being active in the planning of Centennial College, Bell is chairman of the College's senior independent study program, director of the honors program, advisor to the student intermediary board, and University Review advisor.
He also serves on the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) and is campus representative for the Rhodes and Woodrow Wilson scholarship programs.
A former Rhodes scholar himself, Bell obtained both his bachelor's and PhD. degrees at Oxford University. He has been a member of the KU faculty since 1961.
Survey gets plotter
A $25,000 machine which uses computer taps to draw contour maps may help the State Geological Survey at KU find oil.
Checks-
Continued from page 1
Students can cash out-of-area checks at other places, however. The three Raney's drugstores will cash student checks of $10 or less, and the business office in Strong Hall will cash checks of $25 or less, charging 10 cents a check.
The Student Union information booth will cash checks of $10 or less from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A charge of 10 cents is made for each check.
The machine, presented to KU by the Cities Service Oil Co., Tulsa, Okla., after the company bought a newer machine, has been installed in the Computation Center at Summerfield Hall.
Daniel F. Merriam, section chief for geological research, said the Tulsa oil company has used the plotter for similar purposes for about $ 2^{1 / 2} $ years.
The machine was offered to Merriam several months ago by Myron Horn of the Cities Service Research staff. The Cities Service company is now using a newer and faster machine.
Along with the computer, the Kansas Survey received $1,000 worth of plotter paper.

"TM AGAINST gimmicks in teaching. Easy explanations and over-simplifications just aren't the best thing for the student. And as for the teacher, his function is to make the subject lively. As soon as the teacher ceases to learn along with his students, something is wrong."
Bell's idea of a "student's student" would be one who is "curious, interested, ready to offer and ask, who will read and think. He should also have confidence without arrogance."
Bell will spend next year at the University of London, where he will teach and do research on the history of England during the 19th century.
KU girl—
Continued from page 1 What were Lynn's first reactions?
"HER SOMBER appearance was startling. Her picture, however, is not the dramatized image we often see of a starving child extending her skinny hand for food."
Lynn's sponsored child comes from a large family in LaPaz, Bollivia. Her father is a school teacher and is not able to support Dragma, who had to be put into a crippled children's home due to her spastic condition.
And what are Lynn's duties as the girl's sponsor?
"I get some satisfaction knowing this girl will have better opportunity to develop herself in her own culture. On the other hand," she continues, "our relationship gives me a chance to learn about Bolivia as well as having Dragma learning something about the United States' culture."
"I send $10 a month, which is supposed to cover Dragna's therapy and the fees for a special school," she said.
LYNN CORRESPONDS with the girl in Spanish. When the sponsor does not know the child's native language, she explains, there is a translator.
