Latins to judge KU pros-cons
Latin Americans attending the Eighth Annual Seminar on Higher Education are evaluating KU this afternoon in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
The evaluation will help Latin Americans to improve their colleges and universities.
During the four-week seminar ending today, 18 deans and rectors from Latin America studied KU administration, curriculum and courses, teaching methods, professors and students.
George Waggoner, dean of College and director of the seminar, said the objective is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of KU.

Sachem adds five more to list

"I believe this is the first time a group of foreign educational administrators has evaluated a U.S. university," he said.
The countries of Latin America participating in the seminar are Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela.
Symposium continues
Audience applause increased when composer Robert Ward of New York was introduced following the presentation of his work "Divertimento" at the orchestra portion of the contemporary music symposium in the University Theatre last night.
Ward's work climaxed the program of four modern compositions by the Symposium Orchestra directed by George Lawner, professor of music theory at KU.
The orchestra consisted of top KU orchestra students, faculty, and professional players from the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra.
WARD, A PULITZER PRIZE winning composer, has recently accepted a position as president of the North Carolina School of Arts at Winston-Salem.
