Faculty gets ROTC report
A report by the University Senate temporary committee on ROTC was unveiled to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty Tuesday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Herman Lujan, associate professor of political science and a member of the committee on ROTC, read the report and then answered various questions which members of the faculty asked.
The report called for the substitution of regular University courses for as many ROTC courses as possible. In addition to the University courses, the military science student would take a related military course. The student would receive academic credit for both courses.
Several members of the faculty objected to this point. They said it would be difficult to find military men who were qualified to teach academic subjects in the
University as well as military courses. Others objected to the cost of hiring extra instructors for these new courses.
Lujan said the committee's position was between those who would give no credit to any military science courses and those who would give credit to all military work. Under their plan, he said, courses such as drill and military discipline would not receive academic credit.
The report stated that if a substitute course could not be found for a military science course, then the course would be team-taught by military and academic instructors.
Several faculty members objected to this point. They argued that some courses were so military that regular academic instructors could not contribute to them. They argued also that
courses such as these should bring no academic credit.
Lujan replied that it would be unfair to penalize a student who wished to pursue these fields for his career even though the courses might be unrelated to the academic programs of the University.
Lujan said the report was a preliminary one and if it was approved the committee would work out the specific problems. A copy of the report has been mailed to the University Senate Executive Committee.

Ecology Action joins city spring clean-up
Lawrence and KU are getting a spring cleaning April 1 to 12. Members of the Ecology Action organization were at work last Saturday and Sunday cleaning the campus. The next and final cleanup day for KU will be Saturday.
Jim Swindler, Pratt freshman and organizer of the KU cleanups, said that a group of 12 students on Saturday and 15 on Sunday collected 80 or 90 bags of trash. He said there were probably a dozen independent collectors.
Swindler said those who wished to participate in this Saturday's cleanup, the last day of the cleanup, should meet at the Ecology Action office in Wesley Hall at 10 a.m.
Swindler expressed gratitude to three organizations that helped with the cleaning, Green Construction Co., he said, gave the use of two trucks to move the trash, the Junior Chamber of Commerce gave 100 trash bags and the Lawrence Sanitation Department aided with men working overtime and the use of their trucks.
Bags of trash collected Saturday should be taken to 12th and Massachusetts, Swindler said.
Jobs overseas plentiful for American students
Summer work in foreign countries for American students is being sponsored by a non-profit organization in New York. The Council on International Education is sponsoring summer work programs in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, a release reported.
The council will help qualified students to obtain working papers and to find jobs. Most of the job opportunities are unskilled types such as work in stores, hotels, resorts and offices.
The release said that wages were not high,but were adequate to cover living expenses and some
traveling costs.
To get into the program, students must apply and be accepted, then pay $25 to the Council. In return the student is sent information about the countries and employment opportunities. Orientation sessions and overnight accommodations are provided when students arrive for the first night in the country.
More information about the program can be obtained by writing the Council on International Educational Exchange, Department ISE, 777 United Nations Plaza, New York, New York 10017.
KU professors to debate on population growth rate
Two scientists from UC Santa Cruz discovered a tiny colony on San Miguel Island near Santa Barbara, about 3,000 miles from the animal's present homeland in the Bering Sea.
Two University of Kansas professors, concerned about the continuing increase in the population growth rate, will present their fourth annual "Population debate" at 11:30 a.m. Friday in room 226 of Lindley Hall.
Nunley said Monday that he is taking more of an environmental approach to the problem in that, to alleviate future overcrowding of cities, the growth rate of the population should be slowed down. In other words, he said, better and more effective methods of birth control should be used.
Robert E. Nunley, associate professor of geography, and Robert W. McColl, associate professor of geography, will debate about the problems and possible solutions to the increasing population growth rate.
Nunley said that McColl, who
KANSAN 9
was not available for comment on his stand, is taking more of a "human conquest" type of view, that is, man is on the earth to control his environment and that numbers of people are really not important because we do not have a true understanding of what the problem really is.
The debate itself, Nunley said, is designed to be more of a "team teaching" effort than a real debate. This gives the students a chance to formulate their own opinions by being exposed to two equally-balanced points of view.
The Alaska fur seal is a hardy sea-going mammal once in danger of becoming extinct by overhunting.
