Students stay
KU hosts AURH meet
All but a few of KU's students broke for spring vacation last week.
Yet some who remained, the members of KU's Association of College and University Residence Halls (AURH), stayed at Oliver Hall to prepare for the 14th annual national convention which opened Thursday and continued through Saturday.
In all, 456 delegates representing 42 schools attended the event highlighted by group meetings, speakers and social activities.
KU's group started preparing last April for the three-day convention. The weekly meetings paid off said Cheri Ball, Olathe senior and conference chairman.
"THE KU GROUP was so great, they did ten times more than I expected. The 59 members of the slave crew were simply great," Miss Ball explained.
"It was a year of learning not just three or four days."
Speaker at Thursday's banquet was Dr. Karl Meningerof of the Menninger Foundation in Topeka. The noted psychiatrist emphasized that mental sickness cannot be defined.
HE USED THE EXAMPLE of an individual removing his shoes in a dining hall. So, Meningler questioned, would this act indicate a person is sick or just being an individual?
"You shouldn't call people mentally ill, it's just a human distress." Menninger explained.
Menninger said, "I don't think it's all sickness in your sense of the word. And I wouldn't say it was sick just because you wanted me to use your word. It varies according to the individual."
Instead, Menninger suggested,
he would call this act a symbol.
"MAYBE IT'S withdrawn or loss of one's temper but you can't call it a sickness. Sickness can't be defined except in an emotional way," he said.
"The person needs to be taught a lesson, he needs to be called down and then be taught to act differently."

The important thing, Menninger explained, is to get the individual into a proper state of emotional balance.
HE POINTED TO the individual living in the residence hall with people from different backgrounds. He said, students in the residence hall can help their friends in different critical situations more than any psychiatrist.
Saturday's featured speaker, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, termed the university an educational center.
"The residence hall is a part of the laboratory for the university," Wescoe said, "because they're the laboratory for life. There is the opportunity to help others and exercise leadership."
He said there was no greater challenge in colleges and universities than exists in residence
halls, particularly pointing out the opportunity for social adjustment.
Two delegates from Kansas State were elected to national positions. The new president is Ken Stoner and his vice-president is Ron Lundquist. Next year's convention will be held at Pennsylvania State University.
