Nationalism strong Polish trend
National consciousness is not an inborn quality of the Polish character, a Warsaw University professor of history said in a speech entitled "The Growth of Polish National Consciousness in the 19th Century."
Stefan Kieniewicz is associate director of the Historical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences and a visiting professor at the University of Chicago. He spoke Wednesday in the Kansas Union Cottonwood and Meadowlark Rooms and was sponsored by the Slavic and Soviet Area Studies and the history department.
Kieniewicz said the growth of nationalism in Poland was one
of the most important trends in the country.
A strong feeling of nationalism developed in enlightened groups which were involved in intellectual work. The large Jewish groups which entered Polish society in the second half of the 19th century also became strong nationalists, Kieniewicz said.
As the peasant classes gained economic independence they became more nationalistic, according to Kieniewicz. The threat of German colonization in 1880 also tightened the bonds between the peasantry and its government.

Canadian kids dub new school Spider
BARRIE, Ont. — (UPI) — Children in this Canadian town like the Spider for what it teaches them.
Their parents and teachers like it too.
The Spider is the nickname students have given their new "gradeless" school here.
The name comes from Allandale Heights Public School's floor plan—a round gymnasium in the center surrounded by a hall that has two classrooms, each with three "spokes" projecting from it.
The Spider cost $380,000, slightly less per square foot than for a conventional box-like school. It was designed by architect Millet Salter of Barrie to fit into the continuous-progress, non-graded school system city officials have been experimenting with for several years.
Dorothy Banting, school principal, said teaching there is challenging, but rewarding because
Relays admission set
Posters placed around the KU campus have incorrectly stated the price of student admission to this weekend's KU Relays. Students will be admitted to the Thursday and Friday sessions of the Relays by merely showing their KU IDs. Saturday an ID and 50 cents (not 75 as the posters stated) will be required.
the children don't like to be absent.
Each classroom has what would be three grades in other schools. They are not separated and have a "common area" in the middle. Mrs. Banting said each grade or achievement level can carry on without interference from the others.
Mrs. Banting said the purpose of having the three grades together is that a child learns at his own rate. If he is in the second grade but capable of third grade math, he can move to that part of the room where his level of achievement is being taught.
Teachers don't command the classroom from a desk at the front. Instead, four to six desks are put together so the children can work in groups. Teachers do not have a desk. They mingle with the students.
There are six teachers and 146 students in the new school. Three more classrooms will be added to bring the school's enrollment to 500. Only grades 1 to 6 are taught now.
Mrs. Banting said 10 minutes after the school first opened, the new educational system was in full swing.
The students especially like the thick carpeting—not because it feels so good underfoot, but because they can rub their feet over it and give their classmates an electric shock.

played an important role in the growth of national consciousness, Kieniewicz said. Some areas of Poland, which lacked educated patriots, became nationalistic much slower than the areas where the activists worked.

Lawrence Guard may be activated
The Lawrence detachment of the Kansas National Guard, which includes several KU students, has received a warning order from the department of the Army that it may be called to active duty, according to the commanding officer of the unit.
The warning order is not an official call to active duty. It is an alert for the unit to be ready to activate.
The detachment is now under state control, but will come under federal control if it is called up.
The detachment commander said he has not received official notice if KU student members of the unit will be able to finish the current semester. He said students involved may have to take semester, final exams early. The commander said that to the best of his knowledge no KU faculty members are in the Lawrence detachment.

Most girls stuff is just a"Cover-Up"'...
but not Pamprin.
Not all girl's stuff "covers up." Here's one product that does more: PAMPRIN.
PAMPRIN makes a woman look and feel better . . . without relying on "camouflage." PAMPRIN is specifically designed to get at a basic cause of pre-menstrual problems. Problems of temporary water-weight gain. That puffy feeling that can make you feel miserable the week before your period. (It's that extra water-weight causing pressure on tissues that makes for headaches and pre-menstrual tension.)
PAMPRIN does what aspirin doesn't. It alleviates the "bloating." So it gets at the cause of the pain. Instead of just covering it up, PAMPRIN makes a woman feel more like a woman. Every day of the month. So every coed can live life a little bit better. Now that PAMPRIN is going to college.
PAMPRIN. It's definitely girl's stuff.
