Around the Campus Debators Have Advantage
E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and drama, who retires from the faculty next month, says 39 years of coaching debate and teaching speech has certain advantages.
On the eve of his 70th birthday, Prof. Buehler noted three things at the annual speech and drama department honors dinner. A debate has never been hung in effigy. The speech and drama honor dinner has never been picketed. He has never been bothered by tickets for campus traffic and parking violations; he rides a taxi.

America To Be Analyzed

The program is one of several in the United States for graduate level international students who are ready to return to their home countries.
Ayseli Usluata, Istanbul, Turkey, graduate student, and Nilofer Ahmed, Karachi, Pakistan, graduate student, will attend the assembly. A representative from KU has attended the assembly each year since its beginning eight years ago.
The purpose is to encourage a frank and personal analysis of the significant political, socio-economic and cultural aspects of America. The theme this year is "America: The First New Nation."

CorpsHasRoom For'64 Seniors
Thursday, May 14, 1964
KU graduating seniors still have an opportunity to get into Peace Corps summer training programs, according to Dr. Clark Coan, assistant dean of men and campus Peace Corps liaison.
Interested seniors can get a Peace Corps volunteer questionnaire from the post office or from Dean Coan. It should be completed and mailed to the Director of Recruiting, Peace Corps, Washington, D.C. 20525, as soon as possible.
Dean Coan said 117 students at KU have applied to the Peace Corps since the beginning of the 1963-64 academic year. Thirty-two former KU students are now serving and five others have completed the two-year tours.
According to Dean Coan the need for volunteers who can teach English, science and mathematics is great. There are opportunities for liberal arts graduates to teach in secondary schools and in colleges and universities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
In the non-teaching areas, there are opportunities in community action programs, especially in Latin America.
