Mudroch to Take Post At Canadian University
"I have enjoyed my five years at KU immensely. I have never had any complaints, and the response of my students has been very gratifying."
Those are the feelings expressed by Vaclav Mudroch, assistant professor of history, as he prepares to terminate his teaching career at KU and take a big step up the ladder of success.
"I decided to go to Carleton for three main reasons," Mudroch said. "First, I will have a lighter teaching load (only five hours). Second, I have been appointed there as a full associate professor. And third, I will receive a larger salary than I am presently receiving."
The 1962 Honor for Outstanding Progressive Educator (HOPE) winner, will leave KU immediately following the completion of this semester's duties to assume a position at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
"I HAVE TO BE there the 30th of this month," Mudroch said, "so I
will have to leave as soon as I give my last final."
mudroch, who teaches medieval history at KU, said he will be teaching a freshman course in medieval history at Carleton University. He accepted the position about three weeks ago.
The teaching position in Canada offers Mudroch almost a return to home.
Satisfying human relationships can make a big difference between success and failure in college. Whether it's a roommate, a professor, your family, or friends, you want to get along well with them. We are learning a lot about this through our study of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can, too.
We invite you to come to our meetings and to hear how we are working out our problems through applying the truths of Christian Science.
"I also received all my degrees in Canada." Mudroch said.
HE WAS BORN in Czechoslovakia but immigrated to Canada in 1951. He came to KU in 1958.
He received his B.A. from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.

Americans Serve More Beef
---
CHICAGO - (UPI) Americans serve more beefsteak than frankfurters, the 26th annual convention of Super Market Institute was told yesterday.
Six out of 10 homes serve beef-steak at least once in two weeks, Russell S. Tate, president of Market Research Corporation of
America, said.
Tate said he also found that upper income families served frankfurters more often than families in the lowest income class.
Hamburgers and frankfurters dominate Saturday servings, Tate said, but only a fourth of all chicken servings take place on Sunday.

HOW TO SEE EUROPE FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 3
When all of you go to Europe during your summer vacation, you will certainly want to visit Spain, where the tall corn grows.
The first thing you will notice upon entering Spain is the absence of sibilants. In Spain "s" is pronounced "th" and thereby hangs a tale. Until the reign of Philip IV—or Guy Fawkes, as he was sometimes called—Spaniards said "s" just like everybody else. Philip IV, however, liped, and Spaniards, having an ingrained sense of propriety and not wishing to embarrass their monarch, decided that everybody should lisp. This did indeed put Philip IV very much at his ease, but in the end it turned out to be a very bad thing for Spain. It wrecked the sassafras industry—Spain's principal source of revenue—and reduced the nation to a second-class power.
As a result, Spaniards were all forced to turn to bull fighting in order to keep body and soul together. Today, wherever you go in Spain—in Madrid, in Barcelona, in Toledo, in Cleveland —you will see bulls being fought. For many years the bulls have sought to arbitrate this long-standing dispute, but the Spaniards, a proud people who use nothing but Castile soap, have rejected all overtures.
It is therefore necessary for me to explain bull fighting to anyone who is going to Spain. It is also necessary for me to say a few words about Marlboro Cigarettes because they pay me for writing this column, and they are inclined to pout if I ignore their product. In truth, it is no chore for me to sing the praises of Marlboro Cigarettes, for I am one who fairly swoons with delight when I come upon a cigarette which gives you the full, rich taste of good tobaccos plus the pure white Selectrate filter, and Marlboro is the only smoke I have found that fulfills both requirements. Oh, what a piece of work is Marlboro! The flavor reaches you without stint or diminution. You, even as I, will find these statements to be happily true when once you light a Marlboro. Marlboros come to you in soft pack or Flip-Top box, and are made only by the makers of Marlboro.
But I digress. Let us return to bull fighting. Bulls are by nature bellicose creatures who will keep fighting till the cows come home. Then they like to put on pipe and slippers and listen to the "Farm and Home Hour." However, the Spaniards will not allow the bulls any surcease. They keep attacking the bull and making veronicas—a corn meal pancake filled with ground meat. Bulls, being vegetarians, reject the veronicas and then, believe you me, the fur starts to fly!
To be perfectly honest, many Spaniards have grown weary of this incessant struggle and have left their homeland. Columbus, for example, took off in three little ships—the Patti, the Maxene, and the Laverne—and discovered Ohio. Magellan later discovered Columbus. Balboa also sailed to the New World, but he was silent on a peak in Darien, so it is difficult to know what he discovered.
Well sir, I guess that's all you need to know about Spain. So now, as the setting sun casts its rosy fingers over El Greco, let us take our reluctant leave of Spain—or Perfidious Albion, as it is jocularly called. Alhaa, Spain or Perfidious Albion, aloha!
