The KU-Y will sponsor a program at 7 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Union Parlor A concerning the possible ways a student can spend his summer.
Service opportunities highlighted in program
Tom Moore, KU-Y adviser, said summer opportunities included seminars on options for social change, government jobs in Washington, D.C., overseas cultural exchange, travel and service in East Asia, social service in the inner city and work in mental hospitals.

Slum activist will lecture
Saul Alinsky, who calls himself a "professional radical," will speak at 8 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom. His speech topic will be "The American Revolution-Act II."
Alinsky, a sociologist, criminologist and leading figure in the civil rights movement, has been crossing the country since the late 1930's organizing poor communities into power units designed to secure better conditions for themselves.
He established the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training school for agitators which has helped some 40 impoverished communities set up military operations. His most successful is located at Woodlawn, a Negro slum adjoining the University of Chicago campus. Author Charles E. Silberman has called Woodlawn "the most significant social experiment going on among Negroes in America today."
Since his success in Woodlawn, Alinsky has been invited to organize black ghettos by business and church groups. He only accepts the invitations, however, if they come from the community itself.
Alinsky has written many books, among them a biography on John L. Lewis. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.

same nature. Moore will speak about the options for social change at Berkeley, Calif.; Olin Trabue, representative of the west central area YMCA office in Topeka will speak on a program of travel and work in Hong Kong and various other places in East Asia; Laura Friesen, Clay Center junior, will speak about her work last summer in the Washington citizenship seminar, and John S. Schwegler, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, will speak about his trip to the U.S.S.R. in the summer of 1968.
A wide range of other possibilities for summer activities will be on display in the room. Students may pick up folders and fliers on the various programs.
Moore stressed the importance of tonight's meeting because applications for the activities are due immediately, and only a limited number of people can get into the programs. Study and preparation are necessary for a number of them.
The programs, Moore said, are mainly for those students who can afford to break even or spend part of their savings since such activities as traveling may run as high as $1,800.
A colloquium on "Computer Application in the Earth Sciences," will be held at KU June 7, 8 and 9. It will be co-sponsored by the Kansas Geological Survey, the University of Kansas Extension and the International Association for Mathematical Geology.
Summer set for meeting
Daniel F. Merriam, research professor of geology, said the purpose of the colloquium will be to discover the applicability of pure science study procedures to the study of geology. The development and use of quantitative methods of study may be helpful in developing the field of geostatistics.
He is currently director of the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge and a trustee of the William Allen White Foundation.
Pulliam has owned and operated 47 newspapers during his career.
The June colloquium will be the eighth in a bi-annual series which has been held since 1966.
Two scientists from the International Association for Mathematical Geology, Fritz P. Agterburg from the Geological Survey in Canada and Vaclav Nemec from Geoindustria in Praque, will attend the colloquium. Also planning to attend are F. Chayes from the Carnegie Institute in Washington, W. C. Krumbein from Northwestern University, G. S. Watson from John Hopkins University and Paul Switzer from Stanford University.
A member of the board of directors and first vice-president of the Associated Press, he served for 32 years as a trustee of DePauw University.

The admission price is $1.50 for singles and $2.00 for couples. Costumes are required and the public is invited.
French professor receives award
John Erickson, associate professor of French, has been awarded a Fulbright Lecturing Fellowship for one year beginning in September.

Erickson has been chairman of the Humanities Lectures Series at KU since 1967. He is also editor of L'Esprit Createur, an international quarterly review of French literature published in Lawrence.

Death on the highways.
At AEtna we refuse to accept it as a fact of life.
We designed the first classroom driving simulator for high schools. We helped found the National Safety Council and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. And our engineering people are constantly helping to improve the driving records of the nation's car, truck and taxi fleets.
Because highway safety is everybody's job, we feel a special obligation. Our business may be selling insurance, but our concern is people.
