21 UK Students Apply

For Seminar Program
By BLITHE RUNSDORF
Assistant Campus Editor

Twenty-on- e
University students have applied for summer employment under the Washington Seminar program.
In conjunction with this pro

gram, Carl Modecki, seminar
chairman, and Ed Whitfield went
to Washington
during Spring
vacation to personally deliver
some of the applications.
They spent three days in Washington seeing different people
and investigating job opportunities. "It looks very promising,'
said Modecki.
Nine applications were delivered to the National Aeronautics
nine
and Space Administration,
to the Treasury Department, and
two to the Department of Labor.
A complete set of the 6G applications were given to Miss
Matlileen Small, of the University Alumni Club in Washington and to Jim Daniels.
It was under the guidance of
Mr. Daniels that the seminar was
initiated three years ago. Through
his connections in Washington
many jobs have been secured.
Modecki said that it looked
good all the way around, and
especially so at NASA, and the
Treasury Department. The Department of the Army will take
five applications but because of
its regulations these applications
must be processed through the
University Placement Service.
The Post Office Department
and the Department of the Interior are expected to take some
people with backgrounds in science, said Modecki.
The 21 students who are befor jobs are:
ing considered
George Davenport, Mary Marvin
Porter, David Ward, Sue Ellen
Grannis, Charles Kirk. Catherine
Ward, and Steve Little.
Jim Svara, Arthur Simon, Ben
Williams, Sam Burke, Loretta
Flanders,
Roger May, David
Graybeal, Amelia Franklin, Spencer England, Jerry Jolderoma,
Larry Kelly, Linda Litton, and
Carl Modecki.
Ed Whitfield has already secured a position with the Bureau

of Engraving and Printing.
At 7 p.m. tomorrow in Room'
109 of the Student Center thera
will be a meeting of these 21
students at which time they will
learn where their applications
are, and something of the tentative seminar plans.

Many surveys point out that

may be because they have many

* From Suggestions
Should Come Actions
Last fall a special committee

on
student achievement began holding
hearings to help determine what the
intellectual climate of the University
should be.
At that time, we praised the purpose of the committee and encouraged every student and faculty member to voice an opinion in this area.
'

In a series of meetings held for
both students and faculty members
many worthwhile suggestions were
presented to improve the intellectual
and cultural climate of the University. These suggestions were divided
into five major headings.
The first of these and perhaps
the one of greatest concern to students interested in an improved intellectual atmosphere was faculty-studerelations. One of the suggestions made was to begin holding informal student-facult- y
ftther within a given department or
in small groups that would take in a
tross section of the various colleges.
Another was a critical look be taken
at the criteria used for judging the
ability of a member of the faculty.
Many suggestions also were made
concerning existing intellectual, and
cultural activities, the second major
area. More than one of the groups
thought the Harper Lecture Series
was a step in the right direction.
Others thought the Blazer Lecture
Series was a good program but wasn't

III

broad enough to interest a large segment of the campus.
The third criterion used for studying the intellectual climate of the
University was the social and extracurricular activities. In this area both
students and faculty members felt the
University must take steps to do away
With the current attitude that attending concerts, plays, and lectures
is "not the thing to do at UK." In
addition, it was felt that large faculty turnouts for such functions as
these would encourage students to attend also.
In regard to physical facilities
the fourth criterion students mentioned several times the need for increased study facilities especially in
the older residence units. The idea
was even proposed that the University build an undergraduate library
designed especially for study purposes.
.
In the area of administrative practices, it was suggested that the current grade system be replaced by a
pass-fa- il
system and that courses emphasize "inquiry" rather than "reading." Faculty recruitment and student
recruitment also were mentioned as
needing a critical review.
These suggestions and the many
more that were made by those who
participated in the discussions and
those who were polled by members of
the committee are definite indications
that both students and faculty members are interested in improving the
intellectual climate of the University.
However, our question is this:
How much work lias been done to
make some of these suggestions realities?
We realize formulating new policies in all these areas takes a great
deal of time and much information
must be gathered before action can be
taken. However, to our knowledge
very little has been done since the
end of October. At least no more
hearings have been held.
In the areas we have mentioned a
great deal of work needs to be done
and the response the committee has
had is indicative of the interest the
campus as a whole has in getting some
of these things accomplished.
The University has made great
strides in recent years in improving
the intellectual climate. However, it
still has a long way to go. Implementation of some of these ideas and further enquiry can do a great deal to
raise the standards still higher.

Campus Parable

In the relationship that exists between student and parent, misunder-Mandin- g
on both parts generally leads
to problems. Parents are not objects
ci open war or subtle espionage. They
do not often understand our attitudes
mid constantly refer to a lack of responsibility on our part.
I think it is not only a problem of
understanding but often of communication. By communication I do not
mean a hasty note written to explain why we haven't written more;
nor do I mean a phone call home
(generally collect) to assure them of
it student's love and devotion.
Communication breaks down as
Students draw further away from parental supervision. Parents have a

difficult time in some cases communicating their genuine willingness, indeed hope, that the student develop
in ways that are meaningful to him
even if these ways are considerably
different from their own.
Many students find to their amazement in times of particular stress, that
parents are understanding in a way
they had never dreamed. Of ten many
of the strained relations could be
solved if there were more communication.
Here, our prayer might be for intelligent conversation and sharing on
the part of both parties.

The International Student Community

Student Conference
Founded To Remove
Partisanships, Bias

of Students.)
The International Student Conference (ISC) was established in 1950
when a number of national unions of
students found that they could no
longer work effectively with the International Union of Students because
of its partisanship and political bias.
The founding members were the national unions of students from 21
European and North American countries who met in Stockholm in the
First International Student Conference to institute a framework for international cooperation.
These unions have met almost
yearly since that time and the number of national unions participating
has grown steadily from the original
21 to the present SO: 1950-fi- rst

10th ISC, Canada-- 80 unions.
Briefly stated, the essential principles of the ISC are as follows:
1. Participants must be the freely elected leaders of their national
unions and these unions must represent the majority of the students of
their countries;
2. The Conference is neither a
permanent "union" nor an "organization," but simply a meeting ground
for the students of the world;
3. Any action by the Conference
must be based on the "principles of
cooperation" adopted at each conference, and will only be concerned
with problems that directly affect students (this takes into account the fact
that a free society is the prerequisite
for a free university);
4. All actions will be universally
adaptable and devoid of partisanship.
These principles are fundamental
and have never been altered since the

inception of the Conference. However, the growth of the ISC from a
European to a worldwide assembly of
students has naturally brought about
an evolution in the nature of the
problems with which it must deal.
The activities of European and
North American student unions are
essentially "syndicalist." These unions
are concerned with the material welfare of their students, with educational opportunities, obtaining more scholarships for students and the like.
The student in these countries is
combut a part of a
munity and his role in the political
life of the nation is relatively minor.
A basic principle of these unions is
that of "apoliticism," which can be
understood to mean abstention from
d
political
any partisan or
activity, or as abstention from any
whatsoever.
political activity
However, the problems of students in underdeveloped areas are
quite different. In most Asian, African and Latin American countries
students are the major educated group
within the community and are therefore at the forefront of social reform.
In most of these countries it is
the genuine responsibility of the student to undertake what we would call
"political" action, ranging from stands
on social problems, such as agrarian
reform, to direct involvement in political parties and even in insurrections.
To provide a framework for the
cooperation of students whose roles
differ in this way has not been an V
easy task. It is to the credit of the
ISC that its flexible structure has
permitted the incorporation of elements which would not fit within a
unitarian association.
The adaptation of the ISC to an
evolving situation while still preserving its basic character has been
achieved by broadening the scope of
responsibility of the student to include his duties to society as a whole.
It has declared a responsibility of the
student to defend and uphold the
Universal Declaration
of Human
Plights, to maintain academic autonomy, social justice, the basic freedoms, and the cause of peace.
The means of fulfilling these responsibilities is left to the individual
national union according to its particular circumstances. The South African Union (NUSAS) will fight
