Education board to be formed
The selection committee for the student advisory board of the KU School of Education recently met to discuss selection of members for the board.
The first student advisory board will be made up of 15 members of the School of Education. Members will represent the areas of elementary education, physical education, art education, music education, secondary education and the Graduate School.
The student selection committee will interview education majors who are qualified and interested in the advisory board.
After the advisory board is chosen, two faculty members will be selected from a group of five suggested by the School of Education, or the Administrative Committee.
Individual interviews for the student advisory committee will be conducted by the selection committee, March 8, March 15, and April 5.
Thomas appointed captain
John M. Thomas, a lieutenant of the traffic and security department at KU, has been appointed to the newly created position of captain in the department.
The appointment is part of the reorganization of the department begun last September when the position of director of security was authorized. That position is vacant because of the death of E. P. Moomau.
Thomas will be in charge of the department until a director is appointed.
Thomas' responsibilities will include helping to formulate and implement traffic control, management and organization; police management; and scheduling and establishing routine for the security and traffic staff.
Children's drama class offered
A class in creative dramatics for children in the third and fourth grades will be offered by the department of speech and drama. The group will have a limited enrollment of 16 and will serve as a demonstration for University students in creative dramatics.
Classes will meet from 4:30 p.m. to 5:20 p.m. Wednesdays from March 5 to April 20 in room 235 of Murphy Hall. Parents may enroll their children in the class by calling the speech department March 3 or March 4. A $1 charge will be made for the entire series.
The group will be under the leadership of Mrs. Kathryn Reed, Overland Park graduate student in children's theatre and creative dramatics.

Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. announced Thursday the creation of the Chancellor's Committee on the University's Effect on its Physical Environment.
Chalmers announces committee on physical environmental goals
The chancellor said the problem of environmental pollution is a matter of increasing social concern in this country.
"Since the University of Kansas is the largest single enterprise within the City of Lawrence," the chancellor said, "we should be leading the pace in our community with reference to environmental pollution. It would seem appropriate to examine our practices and procedures and to determine whether there are ways in which we could reduce whatever adverse affect our activities might have upon the Lawrence environment."
The committee will be made up of faculty, students and administrators. Chairman of the committee will be Ross McKimney, the Parker Professor of civil engineering. Members are: Robert L. Smith, director of the Water Resources Institute and chairman of the civil engineering department; James L. Koevenig, associate professor of biology and botany; Peter George, Tuckahoe, N.Y., graduate student and a student member of the Senate Executive Committee; Debra Mitchell, Liberty, Mo., junior; Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, and Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for finance.
