Visitors to the KU campus are faced with the problem of paying parking lot fees with a medium of exchange used nowhere else in the world. Or maybe 'nickles' are the Building and Grounds Department's answer to sandwich coins. Dean leaves ditch for hole Delbert Shankel, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, returned Wednesday to Wescoe hole from the "Big Ditch" dean's meeting at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. It is called the "Big Ditch" meeting because it is attended by deans of colleges of liberal arts and sciences from the major universities which have waters that drain into the Mississippi River, Shankel said Wednesday. Shankel said around 25 deans of liberal arts and sciences attended the conference, with representatives from most of the Big 10 schools attending. The conference was a morale booster, said Shankel, in that KU's problems were common to most of the universities there. Shankel said that in many cases KU was ahead in plans to increase student involvement in University affairs. The conference discussions centered on five categories, said Shankel. The categories were: administration, budget, curriculum, academic promotions, teaching and student affairs. 10 KANSAN Apr. 16 1970 Many of the questions asked were relevant to KU's current situation, said Shankel. A question submitted by Shankel for discussion was, "Are general requirements for graduation, e.g. foreign languages, mathematics, English and speech, basically liberal or illiberal by their very nature?" Shankel mentioned that the University of Alabama had done away with its language requirement and the University of Michigan had established a bachelor degree in general studies. He said that many at the conference suggested that the reason for possible irrelevance of the language requirement was that language departments did not require the use of the language after the student has taken the elementary courses. The dean from the University of Texas at Austin, said Shankel, suggested that political science, history and culture aspects be stressed in foreign language study. AURH board to interview next year's new members The Association of University Residence Hall's Board of Appeals will meet soon to conduct interviews for next year's members. The Board of Appeals is a committee which hears appeals for refunds from persons cancelling their residence hall contracts after the cancellation date. The board also hears damage fine appeals. The board consists of five students plus representatives from the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the Housing Office. Since the residence halls have formed new contracts, the board needs representatives from all types of residence halls who are willing to accept the responsibilities of the new system.
