Fading beauty, and Wilting flowers, once a wilderness. lVlan's existence is everywhere. His ignorance belies his superiority to the dumb animals Who somehow meet nature And live within it. To kill life needlessly is beyond the right of man. To destroy threatens all life. Instinct and nature, Death is our future. Rampant technology continues Cheating affluence. We pay the high price of pollution, noise, a reckless hurried life. Then the fear of Future endeavors, intellectual realization. We must utilize this gift To take us silently, Through the ages, to fulfill the required thought that has granted infinity and the immortality of realization. As the guardian teaches Christianity and existence, She leaves much to be questioned, Although many pass With their head to the sky. The consequences will be paid. The sudsy river, sulfury air, abundant people Waste, automobiles, and factories, existence is limited. But we are forever less mother nature is fooled, then the earth we kiss good-by. -mf ' X ' ,. :f ,.f, ' Hr t -- 'fx-f L-' hw! .

Being used to deal with edgeless dreams, Now he's bred knives on nature turns them also inward: they have thirsty points though. His mind forbodes his own destruction: Actaeon who saw the goddess naked among leaves and his hounds tore him. A little knowledge, a pebble from the shingle, A drop from the oceans: who would have dreamed this infinitely little too much? . . .They have done what never was done before. Not as a people takes a land to love it and be fed. A little, according to need and love, and again a littleg sparing the country tribes mixing Their blood with theirs, their minds with all the rocks and rivers, their flesh with the soil, no, without hunger Wasting the world and your own labor, without love possessing, not even your hands to the dirt but plows Like blades of knives, heartless machines, houses of steel, using and despising the patient earth. . . Oh, as a rich man eats a forest for profit and a field for vanity, so you came west and raped The continent and brushed its people to death. Without need, the weak skirmishing hunters, and without mercy. . . The earth was created by the assistance of the sun, and it should be let as it was. . . The country was made without lines of demarcation and it is no man's business to divide it. . . l see the whites all over the country gaining wealth, and see their desire to give us lands which are worthless. . . The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same. . . Do not mis- understand me, but understand me fully with reference to my affection for the land. I never said the land was mine to do with as l choose. The one who has the right to dispose of it is the one who has created it. l claim a right to live on my land and accord you the privilege to live on yours. T Chief Joseph Nez-Perces Tribe In the end, There was Earth, and it was with form and beauty. And Nlan dwelt upon the lands of the Earth, the meadows and trees and he said, Let us build our dwellings in this place of beauty. And he built cities and covered the Earth with concrete and steel. And the meadows were gone. And IVIan said, lt is good. On the second day, Nlan looked upon the water of the Earth. And lVlan said, Let us put our wastes in the waters that the dirt will be washed away. And Nlan did. And the Waters became polluted and foul in their smell. And Nlan said, lt is good. U af' it - 'E - , iffy On the third day, Man looked upon the forests of the Earth and saw they were beautiful. And Man said, Let us cut the timber for our homes and grind the wood for our use. And Man did. And the lands became barren and the trees were gone. And Man said, It is good. On the fourth day, Man saw that animals were in abundance and ran in the fields and played in the sun. And Man said, Let us cage these animals for our amusement and kill them for our sport. And Nlan did. And there were no more animals on the face of the Earth. And Man said, lt is good. On the fifth day,0Man breathed the air of the Earth. And Man said, Let us dispose of our wastes into the air for the winds shall blow them away. And Nlan did. And the air became heavy with dust and all living things choked and burned. And Man said, It is good. On the sixth day, Nlan saw himself and seeing the many languages and tongues he feared and hated. And Man said, Let us build great machines and destroy these lest they destroy us. And Nlan built great machines and the Earth was fired with the rage of great wars. And Man said, It is good. On the seventh day, Man rested from his labors and the Earth was still, for lVlan no longer dwelt upon the Earth. And it was good. 1 LJAWV IDU. 0' .. ,lincoln I 'g L- Q The white men were many and we could not hold our own with them. We were like deer. They were like grizzly bears. We had a small country.

The translation of these goals and needs into buildings, streets, parking lots and recreation fields will bring great changes to the University How the campus might look following completion of projects targeted for the current planning period, including those buildings which might be erected after 1980, may be seen in the view provided. A number of considerations have formed the basis for this development proposal: -Y The need to provide building sites, recrea tional fields, and parking to accomodate a campus which will be adequate to serve 25,000 students -The need to maintain reasonable walking distances - A desire to provide an efficient and pleasing combination of buildings, open spaces, circula- tion and parking -The need for a utility system separating utility corridors from building sites - The general desire to achieve a safe, conve- nient and attractive environment A dramatic change called for by the plan is a perimeter road system designed to separate campus traffic from city arterial traffic. Access to the campus will be possible from four major entrances, all of which will receive special architectural treat ment. Parking lots will flank the perimeter road, and two parking garages are included with the plan to serve both the north and south portions of the campus. The inner portion of the campus will become predominantly a pedestrian area with access for service and emergency vehicles and perhaps for weekend and holiday traffic. Extensive use of paved areas and landscaping, following the patterns of the Yale Nlall completed in 1973, are continued in the core area to provide continuity and definition for this space. New buildings will be located following program requirements and the adopted density concept. One high density use area is to be in the vicinity of the Life Sciences Building, and it includes the site for a general office and classroom structure planned for completion in the mid-1970's. The Campus Activities Center is to be the nucleus of a second high density area, and the third is to be located south of Neff Hall. Alternative sites are available for many of the programs, including Theater Arts and Health Related Professions. The plan allocates additional space for the College of Education near the Corbin Center and shows the site approved for the Engineering Laboratory facility planned for completion in the latter part of 1976. Future sites are also indicated in the Life Sciences and Morrison Hall areas. Another major addition to the campus will be a Recreation! Physical Education!Student Senlices complex to be located north of Grace Wilkie Hall. This complex will orient student service activities toward the core of the campus and recreational activities toward playing fields which will extend north to 21st rfrnnf Wichita State University, located in the largest city in the state of Kansas, draws 70 per cent of its students from the Wichita metropolitan area. Many of the University's programs - particularly those which require an urban laboratory- relate directly to the character of the metropolitan area as a center for industry, finance, culture, health services and agriculture, Wichita State University began as a pri vate, church related college, became in 1926 the first municipal university west of the Mississippi, and the state's first urban university in 1964. Its origin dates from 1866 when plans were proposed for a young ladies' school 'a Vassar of the West.' These dreams were relatively short lived, for the institution was open ed as a private co-educational college in 1895 The school was officially named Fairmount College because of the rela tionship of the campus site to the Arkansas River Valley, By 1926, finan cial difficulties forced the Board of Directors to consider either some type of merger with other institutions or to XNICHITIX STATE UNIVERSITY offer the College to the City of Wichita. Mergers were considered with Friends University. Washburn College of Topeka, and a Dodge City college. However, the City voted to accept the College in 1926, and it became the Municipal Uni- versity of Wichita. Shortly after this change in ownership, a firm of landscape architects from Denver was contracted to prepare a master plan for the campus. The Crary-Culley- Carhart Plan was presented in the fall of 1928, and five buildings were construct- ed between 1929 and 1949 based on this plan. The plan capitalized on the visual prominence of the University's location on the eastern shelf of the Arkansas River Valley. Enrollment increases after the 1964 entry into the state system led to the construction of additional buildings and facilities. As the current planning process demonstrates, there are still facility and space deficiencies on the campus, despite significant improve- ments made by the state. fr The -campus today consists of ap proximately 320 acres of land and over 50 buildings located in an area bounded by 21st, Oliver, 17th, and Hillside in the northeast quadrant of the city. This section of Wichita is experiencing extensive residential and industrial development, but the campus itself is surrounded by recreational areas. shop- ping areas and quasi-public open spaces. The immediate environs of the Univer- sity are attractive recreational areas of a quality which is atypical of many large urban universities. The University sup- ports neighborhood goals concerning the preservation and development of residen- tial qualities. Mutual problems including housing, parking, spot-strip commercial development, inadequate recreational facilities and traffic congestion through and around the neighborhoods and the University. For the approaching motor- ist, the view of the campus from Hillside is superior to views from other direc- tions. The landscaped foreground and view of buildings is the most aesthetic from the southwest corner of the campus, which has been a major entry point. .- The building layout of the University was initially thought of as an oval campus west of Yale Avenue. During the 1950's and 1960's, however, the area east of Yale was developed without regard for the original concept which Nl-' f, 5 Ni Q included such buildings as Morrison Hall, Jardine and McKinley. ln combination, the building masses formed a 'Y' oriented on the east-west axis. Except for a few instances, the buildings comprising the 'Y' appear to have been designed for individual settings. A major problem resulting from the development of the east-west campuses is a lack of unity. Recent action taken to close Yale and plans for development have led to the establishment of psychological, visual and physical continuity. The plan- ned pedestrianfvehicular corridor, the plazas and quadrangles, and the vistas thus provided, are some of the means by which the entire campus can be in- tegrated. may J 4. .

An extraordinary art museum open- ed at Wichita State University December 7, 1974. In a lavish ceremony that inau- gurates a new era in art at WSU, a surprising collection of distinguished art works ranging from sculpture to photo- graphic exhibitions was unveiled for the first time. The small, but versatile museum was named the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art to honor a 76-year-old Hyde Park, New York businessman and art con- noisseur who donated over 300 paintings to the University collection. The gift represents the,Iargest and most complete collection of the works of American painter Fredrick J. Waugh, and is valued at over S1 million. The museum is aesthetically linked to a larger academic facility to the-west with glassed-in walkways on two levels and is joined to an existing art building to the north. The public gallery and sculpture court provides 7,600 square feet of space. It is open to the public. The entire complex is known as McKnight Art Center, a multi-use fac- ility initiated in 1969 with a gift from the estate of Eva McKnight, a member of a prominent pioneer Wichita family. The opening of the Ulrich Museum of Art resurrects a university gallery program which was nearly wiped out when the old art building burned to the ground in 1964. More amazing than the building, however, is the university art collection. In three years, under the direction of Dr. Martin H. Bush, 47, an astute, primly dressed wizard of art and re- source collecting, a modest handful of paintings was parlayed into a bulging portfolio of more than 2,400 art works valued at nearly S3 million. Nearly 33.4 million worth of art- representing some of the best paintings, sculpture, prints and photographs in the collection - were on display opening day. Dr. Bush, a New York native, came to WSU from Syracuse University, where he rounded up S8 million in contribu- tions. Sewing as Vice-President of CENTER Academic Resource Development he .rn mediately sparked hopes that he would accomplish the same rnagrr' at WSU He did An accorirplrslred historian, writer and art collertor Bush has won the respect and friendship of stores of the great artists and toller tors rn the country The list of names rn the collection reads like the Index of an art history text There are works by Moses Soyer, Frank Stella, Max Weber Robert Good nough, Doris Caesar, Alexander Archipenko, Isabel Bishop and many more Bush speaks the languages of art Despite a rninuscule art acquisition bud get, he successfully coaxed scores of well known artists and collectors into contributing to the WSU collection Others were obtained for a fraction of their real value. The dimension of the WSU collet tion has swelled to 582 paintings 1408 oilsl, as well as 1,086 prints and 305 sculptures One of Bush's proudest accornplrsh ments was the donation of 47 individual art works of Ernest Trova, American sculptor made famous for his Falling Man series, giving WSU probably the largest collection of Trova art rn the United States. One example of Trova art stands outdoors east of the Life Science build ing as part of the now familiar unrver sity outdoor SCulpture collection. It is Profile Canto IV A, an immense Cor 'ten steel sculpture in the Falling Man series. The number of outdoor sculptures now numbers nine with the addition of Louise NeveIson's Night Tree, lotzaterl rn the center area of Fairinor.nt Dravr near McKnight Art Center Other acquisitions include Kenneth Arrrmagr- 1 Mouton Variation, Figure lArrhaearr lll by Danre Barbara Hepworth, Teddy Boy 81 Girl II, by Lynn Chadwick, Grand father's Horse, by Chicago artist John Kearney, Daedalus a 26 bronze head by Charles Grafly, lwo lines Oblique Down a kinetic sculpture by George Rickey and Happy Mother by Austrian hnrn Plugins flu...-f , ggi.-:annum - I Arr rirrprr-rrfrlerrterl srlir-rlnle ol 31 Kalhe Kollwilf, whose works portrayed rrlntrons rs plairrrerl lor the lrrsl year the plight of the poor and oppressed, of the rrrtrserrrri Already such painters and Wayne Thrcliarrd, one ol Amerrca's .is Frr-drrrk Waugh, the orilslarrdrrrg Inst pop all painters have been exhibit rerrr,an nrarrne artist, German painter rrrl The great American painter Isabel Bishop planned a visit to the WSU cam- pus during a February show of her art works. From WSU, the Bishop exhibi- tion moved to the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City. Other exhibitions include some of the great photographers in our time, as well as breathtaking color pictures depicting our environment. Alfred Eisen- staedt, a former Life photographer who is said to have photographed more people in high and low places than any other living photographer, vyill have 150 photographs on display beginning in May. Earlier, an exhibition of 113 color photographs from the United States Environmental Protection Agency called Our Only World focused attention on the effects of technology on our world. WSU has an obligation to give its students-all students-a sense of the major accomplishments in world art, Dr. Bush said of the art collection. Words and books are the principal tools of education. But visible, tangible, concrete objects often have more mean- ing for people than a written descrip- tion. . We are seeking to touch the lives of many who would never in their lives be exposed to great art. We must broaden ourselves with good expe- riences. Dr. Bush unabashedly stated that the new Ulrich Museum of Art will be as nice and dignified as any in the country. The museum's student staff is well dressed and professional down to the finest detail. Members of the student staff are: Pamela Bowman, sophomore, Sheryl Wolfe, sophomore, Cindy Shalker, junior, Cheri Powell, sophomore, Jim Johnson, graduate, and assistant curator Gary Hood. Besides manning the museum, the staff is responsible for cataloging the collection, preparing prints for exhibi- tion, shipping and receiving works of art la very fragile affairl, and even applying lemon oil to all the outdoor sculpture twice a year to prevent oxidation. For one of the student staff mem- bers, her job is exciting. lt is exciting because of some of the acquisitions, Pamela Bowman said. You meet people and you feel important. We have all gained a new appreciation for different styles of art, especially modern art. And there is an opportunity to deal with the artists personally, Pamela said. l remember the day the arms fell off the Rickey sculpture. l carried them up to the office and talked to him on the phone. lt was great. Some may think of a great artist as someone distant, basking in greatness, but really, they're just people, who are friendly and engaging. Looking toward the future, Dr. Bush continues to bubble with enthu- siasm. He confidently predicts between 75,000 and 100,000 people will visit the museum in its first year. Dr. Bush offers advance word that an American Bicentennial exhibition scheduled to come to Wichita in 1976, will be shown at the Ulrich Museum of Art. Chances are, Dr. Bush will also take a few moments to smile with hearty satisfaction at the physical realization of a goal which makes possible the opening of yet grander dreams. , 1. 1 , 1 r , L W n Z 1 1 0 4 V- A 1, , , , W-f,,h--Www.. -W ma -w Nr YW, , V , .KWIFE.-afwdw-v-f-f-s:1w.-'ff 1ww-'wv.W:m,-- f Wm-wr ,,,. .,1- ,N-..vf.w-V-wpvnww-nuwmnfgl wg-2-,neu u- ffm-vw, . b 1 v v ' .f-- 'm-M-M Q M - 5 5? x 2 9-we '1 XV4?

Platt Director of Planning Parking is traditionally a problem on most college and university campuses and at urban institutions it often assumes crisis proportions, at least in the minds of students, faculty and visitors. Such is the case at Wichita State University. But although it is easy to determine that people are unhappy about parking facil- ities, it is not so easy to find solutions that are both realistic and fall within available budgets. A quick review of data related to parking probably will not make the situa- tion more palatable, but it may lead to a better understanding. Wichita State University had approximately 15,000 stu- dents and 1,300 faculty and staff in September 1974, and those individuals registered 17,014 automobiles. lt is important to remember, however, that we seldom have 16,000 people on campus at any one time, and never during the average academic day. The most active periods on campus during the week are Monday and Wednesday mornings. At 10:00 a.m. on a nice sunny Wednesday morning in November, a sunley showed that we had approximately 1,000 faculty and staff and 6,000 students and visitors on campus, a potential demand for 7,000 parking spaces. The University devotes 40.5 acres to parking. This space, plus street parking provides room for 4,580 cars. ln addition, approximately 350 students park on off- campus city streets. But we have yet to experience a time during a normal academic day when all lots are full. On Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m., for example, there are usually more than 400 empty parking spaces. lt is possible to conclude, therefore, that approximately 1,470 individuals usually arrive on cam- pus by walking, riding bicycles, riding buses, or in car pools. lWheat Shocker and Fairmount Towers parking lots are not counted as campus parking lotsl. Peak parking demands are also expe- rienced during the evenings from Monday through Thursday lclass eveningsl when public events are scheduled in the Arena andlor Nliller Concert Hall. Again, we have yet to experience a time when all lots are full. A third peak exists on 4 to 6 Saturdays in the fall when football crowds more than fill available parking. Wichita State University, like other urban universities where stadiums are located on the campus, does not plan to provide a parking stall for each stadium seat. A final fact that must be included in any analysis of the WSU parking situation is that Wichita--and 80 per cent of our students are from the Wichita metropol- itan area--is an automobile oriented society. The number of cars per capita is far above the national average, public transportation is extremely limited, and many citizens assume they have a right to drive to wherever they are going and to park within a few feet of that destination. They are also quite intolerant of even a slight delay in traffic. In a strictly theoretical sense, we have no parking problems, spaces are always available for people who drive to Wichita State. But individual concerns about parking are never theoretical. They are always a result of each person's experience in his own real world. Stu- dents, many of whom have tight sched- ules built around family and job respon- sibilities, feel they should be able to park within a few feet of their office or classroom building. Visitors feel they should be able to find their destination with ease and park within a few feet of it. Theatre goers and sports fans feel that they should be able to drive to the campus without delay and park some- what adjacent to the event. Distances, and lighting, become even more impor- tant after dark. There probably are no completely satisfactory solutions to these perceived problems unless we cover most of the grass with asphalt or devote millions of dollars to parking garages. As the Univer- sity grows, unless there is a basic change in Wichita's love affair with the auto- mobile, people are going to walk greater distances from parking lot to building. But a few steps can and will be taken to try to stay on top of the problems. The need for parking garages has been iden- tified, and our development plan calls for two as soon as possible. It is probable, however, that they will have to be financed out of user fees. Some addi- tional parking lots will be built, partic- ularly on the south side of the campus where the need is perhaps the greatest. As the Universlty's Perimeter Road system is developed it may be possible to start a loop bus system that will move students from lot to class. A new sign and direc- tional system is being planned to assist visitors, and perhaps the energy crisis will encourage a greater use of public trans- portation. The best solution, or at least the best medicine for the parking problem, how- ever, ls still a sense of humor. Readers who have not done so are encouraged to turn to the Parking Game on the previous pages. H ff Q ?ff W 1, .

Jeff Worley 4 oumxsra The Pre-Session which ran from May 20 to June 7 was initiated on an experimental basis. In general, the responses of the students to the Pre-Session were positive. Many of the students stated that they would not have been able to take the course during the regular summer session. The majority of students preferred the short 3-week format over the regular 8-week summer sessions. It was suggested that the 3-week format be included as a part of the regular academic semester program. Over 90 percent of the students enrolled in these courses stated that they would recommend the Pre-Session to other students. They also indicated that the Pre-Session should be continued in the future. Final enrollments in each of the five regular Pre-Session courses were as follows: Administration 604, Distribution Management 36 Philosophy 121, Introduction to Philosophy 106 Political Science 821, Budgetary Process 9 Psychology 510, Psychology of Illness 69 Social Work 214, Social Welfare Institutions 13 The 1974 Summer Session explored several new programs which had been initiated to provide students with more flexibility during summer school. Running concurrently with the 8-week session were two 4-week sessions which had a combined total of 900 students enrolled. During the first 4-week session thirty classes were offered, of which twenty-two were in Education. The enrollment total indicated 497 students participated in the first 4-week session. ln the second 4-week session a total of twenty-four classes were offered to students. Of those classes, twenty were offered by Education. The total enrollment for the second 4-week session was 402 students. A questionnaire provided information pertaining to the reasons why students participated in the new program. A total of 353 questionnaires were returned from the students in the first 4-week session, along with 246 forms being returned from students in the second 4-week session. A few highlights from the questionnaire have been summarized below: Would not have been able to take the 25W 42'X: course in the regular 8-week session Would have preferred to take course in 14'Xm 162 the 8-week session Thought they got as much or more out of the 4-week course as from any of the 87'Xm 89? regular courses Would positively recommend 4-week ses- 89'X: 87'Mw sion to other students Thought the 4-week session should be 9311 93M continued in the future 6E66lCJN Traditionally, at many universities, . the summer session has been a time when a limited number of the same courses that are offered in the regular year are taken by a small number of students who need hours to catch up. At Wichita State University, the summer session is much more. It is a time when some students enrich their programs of study by taking subjects they are interested in but do not have time for in the regular year, when some students take courses to accelerate their graduation, when many students who already have degrees return to the campus for renewal and advanced work. More important, the summer session at Wichita State University is a time when new things are tried--new courses, new time formats, new teaching methods. The summer is a time in which it is easier to try new approaches, a time in which it is easier to be responsive to students' needs and wants. Each summer, about 50 workshops devoted to special topics that do not appear in the regular courses listed in the Catalog are offered. ln 1974, for example, workshops were offered in wilderness history for two weeks in the mountains of southern Colorado, in Wichita history, in motorcycle safety, in human sexuality, etc. Field studies were offered in Spanish in Mexico, geology in Colorado, and anthropology in Colorado. Instructors have the opportu- nity to develop new course materials and approaches that may be of greater interest to students. New time formats were introduced in 1974. In addition to the regular 8-week session, there was a 3-week pre- session in late May. There were two 4-week sessions that ran concurrently with the 8-week session. And there was a post-session in early August. lnstruc- 5, tors experimented with adjusting their courses and teaching approaches to '.1s shorter time formats and had the op- portunity to evaluate students' responses to these new time formats. Summer session, then, provided the opportunity to try new courses and new time formats--to give students what they want, when they want it. Hopefully, those things that work will gradually find their way into the regular semes- ters--as professors have the chance to try things out, to modify them, and to incorporate the best in the regular year. In this way, the summer session serves not only those students who enroll in the summer, but all students throughout the year. 45 JUNE 3 - AUGUST 16 Workshops were opened periodically throughout the summer running from one to four weeks in length. JUNE 10 The first four week session and the eight vveek session began. JUNE 10 The German Department presentedthe film Made ln Germany which was provided by the German Embassy, in Washington, D.C. 46 JUNE 19 - 22 Wichita State Summer Thea- tre presented The Music Man with Allan -Baker as professor Harold Hill and Marlene Flood as Marian, the town librarian. JUNE 21 C.A.C. Theatre presented the 1954 classic On the Water- front which won Marlon Brando an Oscar. JUNE 23 - JULY 3 Summer Orientation '74 introduced approximately 2,200 freshmen and transfer students to WSU. JUNE 17 Senator Edward W. Brooke, Republican from Massachu- setts, opened the WSU Sum- mer Distinguished Speaker Series. Senator Brooke spoke on the impeachment process as a Constitutional method of resolving the current political crisis facing the nation. Jerry Farden performed his Graduate Recital in the Miller Concert Hall of DFAC. , JUNE 24 Blackbear Bosin, a well- known American Indian artist, was the second speak- er in the WSU Summer Distinguished Speaker Series. Bosin spoke on the under- standing and appreciation of Indian art. JUNE 26 - 29 WSU Summer Theatre pre- sented Three Men on a Horse starring Mike Tat- lock as Erwin. rL....:l JUNE 28 C.A.C. Theatre presented the 1938 monster epic Frank- enstein featuring Boris Kar- loff in the title role. Due to the enthusiastic and competitive efforts of many Kansas women, under the direction of Dr. Kay Camin, a Wichita State University Economics Professor, the National Women's Political Caucus lNWPCl was held in Wichita, June 28th through June 30th. The conference theme was directed towards women's involvement in the different areas of politics, and carried the title, Win With Women - '74. The multi-partisan conference included many of those individ- uals who have been responsible for much of the publicity on women's rights. Those individuals, such as Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Francis lSissyl Farenthold, Olga Madar and Bobbie Green Kilberg highlighted many of the events and activities that took place during the three days of the caucus. Various workshops were held during the conference with the intent to expand women's knowledge of the political structure on the local, state and national levels. Special interest groups met to discuss such controversial subjects as the legalization of the Equal Rights Amendment lERAl, rape, abortion and lesbianism. During the conference the Wichita Day Care Association pro- vided a day care center for the children whose mothers attended the events of the caucus. Dr. Camin stated that l felt it was important to allow women to have services available for their children. She adds, We are in favor of families and, therefore, the provision of facilities that would allow them to participate in the convention and, at the same time, have their children properly cared for. During this time, the national officers of the NWPC met to discuss future activities, to re-evaluate the organizational structure, to strengthen goals, and also expand their member- ship programs. Special entertainment included a feminist dance presentation entitled, l AM WOMAN, which was also the title of the music accompanying the performance. A special poetry reading and reception with four female poets was another highlight of the caucus. One of the most interesting events during the conference was the presentation entitled, The Emerging Woman, which por- trayed the history of the events that have occured in the battle of equal rights for women. The history was portrayed through photographs, printed and audio-visual material. Sondra Van Meter, presently doing graduate work in history at the Uni. :r- sity of Kansas, Lawrence, was the principal investigator for the exhibit. Diane Lewis, information coordinator for the Office of Research and Sponsored Events at Wichita State University, edited the material. Lorry Frank, also a coordinator for the same WSU office was the exhibit designer. Perhaps the most effective way to summarize the general objectives and feelings of the three-day NWPC is to provide several quotes from those individuals who were closely asso- ciated with the overall aspects of the conference. Francis lSissyl Farenthold, who served as Chairwoman of the NWPC, as well as being the first woman to be nominated for the Vice Presidency, comments on her views of this country's politics by stating, We have housecleaning to do. Referring to Maya Miller, who served as the first woman in the U.S. Senate representing Nevada comments, We have with us the woman who can break the stag and stagnation of the U.S. Senate. Gloria Steinem, founder and editor of the magazine Ms. feels that Women need to learn how to win. We know how to lose already. She goes on to say, There has been a revolutionary discovery - children have two parents. Representative Bella Abzug, Democrat from New York, states her attitude on women's involvement with politics. She quotes her personal experience in this area by stating, l practiced law for 27 years, but I didn't feel that it really helped that much. I think it was the different movements that I was involved with - peace, supporting campaigns, NWPC, etc. We would introduce a policy, then never hear about it again. l just got tired of it. The only way to get things done right is to do them yourself. So, here l am . . . Congresswoman Abzug feels that political power should be with the people. She believes, The people do not have the power. Let's not kid ourselves. We have to see that the people have the power restored to them so that the President or Congress cannot run away with it. . .we are fighting for our democracy for all parties and all people. L M., '4', ibm, I wp!! Q: def 99 ,YS 731 L fa 352: .4 The Orientation '74 program was designed to provide freshman and trans- fer students with a means by which to become familiar with Wichita State Uni- versity on a number of different levels. The program involved a wide assortment of people including students, administra- tors and faculty. Student leadership appointments were made in the first months of 1974 with the selection of the student Chair- person Alice Brown, a junior in Psy- chology and Journalism, and the two Assistant Chairpersons, Becky Timmons, a junior in Liberal Arts and Bill Wix, a senior in Political Science. After these appointments were made, the Chairperson and Assistant Chairpersons, in consultation with the two administrative advisors lDave Mc- Farland, Dean of University College and Lyle Gohn, Assistant Dean of Student Servicesl selected eighteen students to ORIENTQTICJN L... serve as the student leaders during the summer events. After the selection was made, the training program for the stu- dent leaders began and carried on through June, with the most intense training occurring several weeks before the new students arrived on campus. The summer events that followed student arrival ranged from daytime campus tours to nocturnal swimming escapades in the fountains of the Corbin Education Center. To account for the details of the activities and events, it is best to let those individuals who partic- ipated on a 24-hour basis in the program summarize their attitudes and feelings concerning Orientation '74. Alice Brown, who served as the 1974 student Chairperson for the Orientation program, was selected from twenty-two applicants. Her involvement with Wichita State University, since she began in the fall of 1972, has been wide spread. She has been involved with many different activities ranging from Student Senator to her involvement with Project Together, in addition to her membership in the new women's honor- ary, Alpha Lambda Delta. Proportional representative to SGA, Alice has served as the Delegation Chairperson for Model United Nations which has received top honors nationally. She has also partic- ipated as the Chairperson for the Campus Activities Center Cultural Af- fairs Committee. Alice began her involvement in the Orientation Program during the summer of '73, when she served as one of the student leaders. Her interest in working with people on a personal level, as well as her involvement on campus, led to her receiving the chairpersonship for Orientation '74. The program was designed to help orient the new student to the physical campus, work out a fall schedule of classes, as well as exposing them to campus life. Since it was a requirement for all freshmen and transfer students to go through orientation it was a chance for the student leaders and myself to be- come aware of the problems that a majority of the new students face. lt was also interesting to discover the con- flicts between students and their families, since Parents Orientation ran concurrently with Student Orientation. The student leaders, along with the different faculty advisors, worked really ,L k,..., . .. kk well together. We experienced a lot of things during the program, and we work- ed under all kinds of conditions - all of which helped to make us a close-knit group. I would like to think that the sum- mer was a success. However, the effec- tiveness and the success depend on the cooperation of the administration, stu- dent leaders and the new students. We all suffered because of the lack of time . . . time to understand the needs of the students, time to get completely organized and time to get to know each other. The idea that was stressed most of all during the different sessions was that it is very necessary for the new students, especially freshmen, to take time to experiment, to take the time to really get to know themselves... Hello Becky, this is Lyle Gohn. Congratulations, you have been chosen as the Assistant Chairperson of Orienta- tion '74. After releasing an ear shattering scream of joy, relief and apprehension, l pledged my allegiance to the Orientation '74 program and accepted the mission. This pledge launched my summer career, during which l would find myself in the role of student, administrator, secretary, writer, confidant, advisor, mediator, interpreter, collaborator and trouble shooter. Alice Brown, Bill Wix, Richard Barnes and myself began our duties with the selection of student leaders. After two hundred Why do you want to be an orientation leader? , gallons of consumed coffee, and hours of inter- views, we were left with a trash can full of cigarette butts, pages of observations and a tough decision to make. Finally, twenty-four student leaders were chosen for the student and parent Orientation Program. The next few weeks were filled with meetings with the directors of the pro- gram, Lyle Gohn and Dave McFarland, and with consultations with the As- sociate Deans and the staffs of the various offices on campus. The program was designed to welcome and inform new WSU students with particular attention paid to the student's individual needs. The 1,800 freshmen and 500 transfer students were to leave the pro- gram with a wealth of information about WSU, and with comfortable feel- ings about their choice of schools. lmpossible?-- Three months of prepara- tion would tell. The first task in reaching our goal was to train the student leaders. A week was devoted to this task, with experts on every aspect of WSU called upon to share their knowledge. A staff of faculty advisors attended the training program. Each faculty member and each student leader worked together as a team. Exhausted from the intense training, but well informed, the student leaders were at last prepared to assist in the orienta- tion of new students. Student Services, Academic Advising Techniques and Group Dynamics were iust three of the many areas covered. A week before the beginning of the program, panic spread through the Orientation staff. A flood of questions poured in, Have we made room reserva- tions for...Do the student leaders know that. . . Have we accounted 52 l E l i 4 i for . . . ? Check this. . . Double check that ..., but with assurance from our fearless leaders, Lyle and Dave, we anxiously awaited the first group of expectant freshmen. Grace Wilkie dormitory was the home of the student leaders for two weeks in June. The schedule was hectic for those two weeks, the student leaders and faculty sometimes working 15 hours at a stretch. The sessions consisted of seven evening-day programs. A few of the leaders' responsibilities were to inform the students about WSU services and activities, to assist them in preparing a schedule directed at a major, to orient them to the physical environment of the campus, and to provide insight into survival techniques from the viewpoint of someone who, indeed, knew. Mean- while, the chairpeople attended to special problems that arose, relayed information between administrators and leaders, assigned groups and provided shoulders to lean on. After the program each night, the dorm became a shelter from the storm, strewn with bodies of exhausted student leaders, but after a few moments of quiet, the atmosphere came alive with conversation: people relating to each other, discussing the day's activities, ask- ing each other for help in answering questions, assisting the out-of-town stu- dents in the dorm. And of course, we managed to fit a few hours of merry- making into our busy schedule. With only a few hours of rest, I was amazed at the enthusiasm with which the leaders faced each new day. The pace continued for two weeks, and then the June program came to an end. On the last day, the CAC ballroom was the scene of faculty, administrator and student reminiscing. There were memories of laughter, problems, knowl- edge and even sometimes, of tears. The close unity with which the Orientation program operated created ties that were hard to forget, friends that would long be cherished. The question of whether or not we accomplished our goal can best be answered by the results of an evaluation that revealed that 93 per cent of the students attending the Orientation '74 Program agreed that they had benefited from the programs. Through all the hectic hours filled with emergencies, I wondered if my summer was well spent. The answer was apparent when l heard students leaving the Orientation Program saying, Thanks for really caring. Wil' ik M 'Hg :Q 1.-f .

AUGUST 8 Nixon resigns T If T lil If CIQISES UF ln 1962, Richard M. Nixon published a political auto- biography called Six Crises, an account of the events which he 2 I C k regarded as momentous. Since that book was published, the e Nixon public life has continued to be a series of crises. e Hiss Case f - -I , if . ,ll moimliltfs Will buss time After his election to Congress from California in 1946, Richard Nixon gained national prominence as a member of the House Un-American Affairs Committee investigating the infiltra- tion of Communists into the U.S. government. On Aug. 3, 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a senior editor of Time Magazine who had been a communist in the 1930's, told the committee that Alger Hiss, a former bright star in the State Department, had been active in underground organizations promoting communist infiltration into various government agencies. Two days later, Hiss took the stand. His credentials were impeccable. From a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hiss had risen through a series of government posts to the State Department where he helped develop U.S. policy toward the new United Nations. While most HUAC members were prone to accept Hiss' claim that he had never been a communist, Nixon was struck by the fact that Hiss never flatly denied knowing Chambers but only any man by the name of Whittaker Chambers. Despite the opposition of most committee members, and most of the press and public, and despite bitter denunciations by President Truman, Nixon persisted in picking away at Hiss' story. Eventually, at Nixon's instigation, a meeting between Hiss and Chambers was arranged in a New York hotel room before a number of HUAC members. Hiss finally admitted knowing Chambers - but under the name of George Crosley. From that point on, Hiss began to lost credibility. He was eventually convicted on two counts of perjury and served 44 months in a federal prison. Defending the work of HUAC, and of Congressional investigatory committees generally, Nixon later wrote in Six Crises, l strongly believed that the committee served several necessary and vital purp0ses...first, to investigate for the purpose of determining what laws should be enacted, second, to serve as a watchdog on the actions of the executive branch, exposing inefficiency and corruption: third . ..to inform the public on great national and international issues. Twenty five years later, members of the Senate Watergate Committee cited exactly the same reasons to justify their investigations of Nixon's 1972 campaign. Speec During a white-hot week in 1952, Richard Nixon found himself engulfed in his second crisis, one which came within a hair's breadth of ending his political career. Senator Nixon had been nominated as Gen. Eisenhower's Vice Presidential running mate. A couple of weeks into the campaign, Peter Edson, a Washington columnist for Newspaper Enterprise Association, asked Nixon about an alleged supplementary salary of 320,000 which was paid by a handful of California businessmen. Nixon had no doubts about the propriety of his fund, and he referred Edson, as well as Leo Katcher' of the New York Post, to Dana Smith, a former campaign treasurer, who administered the fund. According to Smith, the fund collected around 320,000 a year from wealthy backers. The money was used for transportation, telephone charges and for circulating speeches, questionnaires, newsletters and Christmas cards, which Nixon's Senatoral salary of 312,500 could not cover. While Edson's story was handled soberly, the Post article ran under the headline: Secret Nixon Fund: Secret Rich Men's Trust Fund Keeps Nixon in Style Far Beyond His Salary. The Democrats seized on the issue, demanding that Eisenhower jettison Nixon from his ticket. The fund became a national issue. Editorials called for Nixon's replacement. Nixon's advisers decided that his only option was to go on television and plead his case to the nation. An hour before Nixon was scheduled to go on the air, he received a call from Thomas Dewey, one of the G.O.P.'s elder statesmen, telling him that Eisenhower's advisers had concluded that Nixon should announce his resignation at the end of his telecast. What should I tell lthe advisersl you are going to do? Dewey asked. Just tell them.. .l know something about politics too! Nixon replied, slamming down the receiver. A few minutes later, he delivered an impassioned speech baring all his personal finances and revealing that the only political gift he had ever accepted was,Checkers, a cocker spaniel which had been given to his daughters. Nixon concluded his plea by inviting the audience to wire its verdict to the Republican National Committee. The public response overwhelmingly supported him. Eisenhower called him a courageous warrior. According to Nixon biographer Earl Mazo, lNixon'sl success sent the Republican campaign soaring, establishing him as the . . . best-known, largest-crowd-drawing Vice Presidential candidate in history. 3 e's Heart Attac On a Saturday in September, 1955, America was stunned by the news that President Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack in his sleep while visiting his mother-in-law in Denver. 4' Leo Katcher served as distinguished editor-in-residence on the journalism faculty at WSU during the 1970-71 school year. He is a former city editor of the New York Post and now resides in Los Angeles. IQICHAIQID . For 48 hours, suspense gripped the country. On Monday the stock market lost S12 billion, second only to the Black Friday crash of 1929. Then Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder the White House physician, diagnosed the attack as moderate, and announced that the President was recovering satisfactorily. For Vice President Nixon, as well as the rest of the nation, lke's coronary was a major crisis. Nixon records that after being informed by telephone of the attack: lt was like a great physical weight holding me down in the chair. . . Every word, every action of mine would be more important now than anything I had said or done before . . . But for Nixon, the crisis was one of maintaining a balance of utmost delicacy. On the one hand, I ...was elected by all the people: they had a right to expect leadership, if needed, rather than a vacuum. But any move on my part which could be interpreted, even incorrectly, as an attempt to usurp the powers of the Presidency would disrupt the Eisenhower team, cause dissension in the nation, and disturb the President . . .The crisis was how to walk on eggs and not break them. When Eisenhower resumed control on November 11, seven weeks after he was stricken, Nixon's third crisis was over. Mobhed n Caracas Vice President Nixon and his wife, Pat, left in late April, 1958, for an 18-day tour of eight Latin American countries. The first crisis of the tour developed in Peru when Nixon learned that hostile demonstrators were planning to disrupt his appearance at San Marcos University in Lima. Despite the warning, Nixon decided to visit San Marcos on a last-minute impulse. As his car approached the campus gates, it was met by about 2,000 students shouting Nixon go home. Nixon got out of the car and advanced toward the crowd, inviting the hostile mob to discuss its grievances with him. Just as the crowd seemed to quiet, several in the rear began throwing eggs, oranges and bottles. Nixon retreated to his car, yelling at the crowd in Spanish: You are cowards. You are afraid of the truth! Nixon proceeded on the tour, thinking that the trouble had peaked in Lima. He was wrong. When his plane touched down at the Caracas airport, he saw hundreds of angry Venezuelans ringing the airport. The official greeting speeches had to be cancelled. Nixon, his wife and the rest of the party were hustled into waiting cars, and the motorcade set out for the center of Caracas. Inside the city limits, the motorcade was stalled by a barricade of trucks and buses across the road. As the motorcade halted, a crowd of 200 people converged on the cars throwing rocks, shouting obscenities and spitting on the car windows. The caravan ran into several such ambushes while frenzied demonstrators tried to smash the -shatter-proof car windows with rocks and lead pipes. Nixon cut short his Venezuela visit the next day and returned, via Puerto Rico, to Washington, where he received a hero's welcome, with President Eisenhower leading the airport reception. Later, Nixon wrote that the Caracas incident so enraged him that he experienced an almost uncontrollable urge to tear the face in front of me to pieces. He also wrote that he had seen the true face of communism, concluding that since the tactics of the demonstrators in Peru and Venezuela were similar, they must all be directed by a single communist conspiracy. It was this belief in a monolithic communist conspiracy CCC that was to pervade many of his crises. Debirltin hl'llShCh8V The fifth of what Nixon called his Six Crises occurred in July, 1959 during a visit to the Soviet Union. The morning after he arrived in Moscow, Nixon met with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in the Kremlin. Following preliminary ceremonies, Khrushchev abruptly ordered all reporters and photographers out of the room and began to harangue Nixon about the Captive Nations resolution which had recently been passed by Congress, a resolution which Khrushchev saw as a serious provocation. Nixon later wrote that he was surprised by Khrushchev's unexpected attack and shocked by his vehemence and profanity. Shortly after this private meeting, Khrushchev and Nixon strolled together through an American exhibit in Moscow. At one point, they paused in a model kitchen and, before a battery of videotape cameras, launched into a harsh debate on the merits of capitalism versus communism which shocked reporters. Nixon recalled in Six Crises that the climax of the debate occurred 'when Khrushchev jammed his thumb into Nixon's chest and accused the American military leaders of wanting to destroy the Soviet Union. I knew that now was the time to strike back, Nixon wrote. Otherwise I would leave the impression . . .that I, the second highest official of the United States, and the government I represented were dealing with Khrushchev from a position of weakness...l had to be firm without being belligerent, a most difficult posture to preserve. Nixon told the premier that neither country should ever force relations to a point of showdown, that if a Soviet-American nuclear war were ever to break out, we would both be losers. Nixon later recalled the moment not only as one of the major personal crises of my life but. . .as a case study of the crisis of world communism. In the person of Nikita Khrushchev, 'Communist Man' at his best, l had seen communism in action. 6 r e neo Election Richard Nixon's sixth crisis - the intensely fought Presiden- tial campaign of 1960-was more than a single challenge confronted and conquered. lt was a series of decisions and crises. Yet, in Nixon's view, it was only a handful of events and decisions that caused his defeat. The Kennedy-Nixon campaign introduced televised debates into Presidential campaigns. While most commentators felt Nixon held his own over the four debates, it was the first one-with an audience of 80 million viewers-that seemed the turning point. On camera, Nixon appeared haggard and drawn, an appearance which apparently alienated many voters. Nixon, himself, concluded later that he had spent too much time on substance and not enough on appearance, not realizing that one bad make-up job could influence millions of votes. He also felt that a post-convention Congressional session had been engineered by Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson to tie him to Washington while Kennedy was free to travel around the country. While Nixon has denied it, there seems little doubt that he was hurt both personally and politically by Eisenhower's minimal support for his campaign. At one point, when reporters asked Eisenhower what major policy ideas Nixon had contributed to his administration, he replied: lf you give me a week l might think of one, a remark Nixon later excused as a clumsy attempt at sarcasm. Following his loss in 1960, Nixon wrote: I have never had much sympathy for the point of view lwhich saysi 'it isn't whether you win or lose that counts, but how you play the game.' How you play the game does count. But one must put top consideration on the will, the desire and the determination to win. Chief Newman, my college football coach in col- lege.. .who was a talented molder of character, used to say: 'You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. . . ' Thirteen years later, when the public felt swamped by the pervasive immorality of the Watergate affair, it was this exclusive preoccupation with winning on the part of Nixon campaign aides which was cited by many commentators as being responsible for the sorry state of American politics. 7 T B HSI DYQSS 0l1f8l'Bl1CB Two years after his defeat by John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon set out to wrest the governorship of California from Democratic incumbent Edmund lPatl Brown. After a particularly bitter campaign, Brown won by about 300,000 votes. For some hours after the results were in, Nixon closeted himself in a hotel suite away from the waiting press. Finally he came downstairs and delivered what he called his last press conference, including a vindictive diatribe that startled reporters. Now all the members of the press are so delighted that I have lost, he said, . . .as I leave the press, all I can say is this: for 16 years, ever since the Hiss case, you've had a lot of - a lot of fun - you've had an opportunity to attack me and I think l've given as good as l've taken . . .And I can only say thank God for television and radio for keeping the newspapers a little more honest . . .Just think how much you're going to be missing...You won't have Nixon to kick around any- more. . . lThe press hasl a right and a responsibility if they're against a candidate, to give him the shaft, but also recognize that if they giv'e him the shaft, put one lonely reporter on the campaign who will report what the candidate says now and then. S Cambodia and Kent Nixon's eighth crisis-an intense wave of violence and polarization that swept the country -was precipitated by his decision on April 27, 1970, to send American soldiers to search out and destroy communist sanctuaries inside Cambodia. While more than 50,000 troops, half of them American, poured into Cambodia in eight separate thrusts, violent shock waves reverberated throughout the country. Militarily, the operation seemed to be successful. By the end of the first week, the allies had captured tons of rice, weapons and ammunition, as communist troops dispersed into hills and jungles. Despite Nixon's assurance to the country that the Cambodian action was not an invasion and that he was not seeking to widen the war, domestic reaction was swift and violent. Campuses across the nation erupted in turbulence. On May 4, a confrontation between 100 National Guardsmen and around 600 students at Kent State University ended in the 60 death of four young people when the guardsmen fired a volley into a group of the anti-war demonstrators. The Kent State tragedy, following by three days Nixon's public castigation of student protesters as bums, shocked the nation. More than 400 colleges and universities suspended classes in the first general student strike in America's history. On Nlay 9, an angry crowd of 100,000 demonstrators flocked to Washington to protest the President's action. In the midst of the turbulence, Nixon, himself, made a predawn visit on May 9 to the Lincoln Memorial where he engaged some anti-war students in a debate. According to some of the students he met, he looked tired and depressedg his hands were in his pockets: he didn't look at anyone in the eyes: he looked scared and nervous like he was in a fog. Bruce Mazlish, author of ln Search of Nixon, speculates that the months of April -May 1970 imposed the greatest strain on Nixon's psyche since 1962. It is a tribute to his 'strength of character' and his dogged perseverance that he suffered merely a depression and not a breakdown . . . e ee hat Chan ed the Drld l ln the first half of 1972, President Nixon made two visits that seemed to ensure his reputation as one of America's most creative presidents in the field of foreign policy. On Feb. 21, the President arrived in Peking for an eight-day visit to the Peopie's Republic of China. Bringing to an end 23 years of official hostile silence between the two countries, Nixon and Premier Chou En-lai hammered out an 18,000 word communique which agreed that neither country would seek hegemony in Asia and paved the way for a series of trade agreements between China and the U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy called the communique one of the most progressive documents in the history of American diplomacy, and hailed the bridge that has now been built to Peking. Three months later, Nixon met Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin and Communist Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow for a spectacular summit meeting, heralding an era of detente between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. On May 26, Nixon and Brezhnev signed an historic arms limitation treaty, limiting the proliferation of anti-ballistic missile launchers. For Richard Nixon, the spring of 1972 was a period of exhilarating success. Does this mean that the man who spent so much of his political life fighting communism suddenly lost all suspicions about the international conspiratorial communist threat? M.l.T. historian Bruce Mazlish suggests not. But he adds, The basic context for Nixon's foreign policy is his dedication to peace. As Nixon told Walter Cronkite back in 1960, the major role lof a presidentl is to contribute toward building world peace, an overriding concern which Nixon attributed to the Quaker values of his mother and grandmother. When Nixon called his visit to China the week that changed the world, he surely must have viewed the crisis as one of the mountain top moments of his entire life. I0 Water ate It began with the break-in of the Democratic Party head- quarters-and, as scandal after scandal unraveled, it came to include corporate contributions, laundered money, the notorious Huston PIan for a White House-directed illegal secret police operation, the revelation that Nixon had secretly recorded all his White House conversations and a host of other alleged improprieties and illegalities. Crisis can indeed be an agony. But it is the exquisite agony which a man might not want to experience again - yet would not for the world have missed . . . But a nation that lives from crisis to crisis is in danger of straining its spirit and tearing its soul . . . and in today's world, there are limits on the extent to which we or any other nation can afford . . . crisis politics at home. Richard Nixon wrote those words three years before the torturous, slow-motion explosion of events, collectively called Watergate, began to tear the soul of America. While the Watergate affair actually began in June, 1972, the affair did not become a Nixon Crisis until March, 1973, when James McCord, one of the burglary defendants, wrote a letter to Judge John Sirica implicating a number of White House personnel in the Watergate mission and its subsequent cover-up. The nation was further rocked when John Dean, a former counsel to the President, told the Senate Ervin Committee in June that Nixon knew about the cover up as early as September, 1972. When another aide abruptly announced in July that Nixon had recorded all conversations in his office, a fight ensued between Congress, the courts, the Special Prosecutor and the White House, for possession of the tapes. One casualty of the battle was Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, whom Nixon fired, despite earlier assurances of Cox's independence, because Cox refused a compromise on the tapes. While Nixon's popularity plummeted to a new low of 27 per cent, a disbelieving nation shook its head at White House claims that key tapes had been lost or never existed in the first place. Against a background of indictments and convictions of former cabinet members and high White House aides-and amid a welter of denials, changes of stories and conflicting testimony, Nixon finally found himself the subject of prelim- inary impeachment proceedings in the House of Represent' atives. The biggest crisis seemed yet to come. ll new's fall Nixon's eleventh crisis was the one which involved him the least. But it was also the one which would have attracted lasting national attention as the highest scandal in American history had it not been for the clamor surrounding Watergate. The fall of Spiro Agnew, like his rise, was meteoric. Son of a Greek immigrant, he was elected Baltimore County executive and then governor of Nlaryland. Next step: the White House as Richard Nixon's two-term Vice President. Extremely popular with many segments of the public, Agnew became known as the administration's toughest law and order man. His prominence as a likely Nixon successor for the 1976 Republican Presidential nomination was buttressed by the absence of any connection between himself and the Watergate 61 scandals which so rocked the White House and the GOP. His downfall began quietly in 1972 when George Beall, U.S. Attorney for Maryland, began to investigate rumors of kickbacks from private contractors to government officials. Throughout the investigations, punctuated by several well- publicized news leaks, Nixon maintained a virtual silence about the case, except to blast the media for reporting leaked information. Agnew, fending for himself, told a group of Republican women as late as 11 days before his conviction, l will not resign if indicted. His promise brought them cheering, to their feet. When all else failed, Agnew entered the Baltimore Federal Court on Oct. 10 and pleaded no contest to a minor count of tax evasion. While prosecutors claimed they had evidence of more than 50 instances of bribery, kickbacks and related crimes involving Agnew, Attorney General Elliot Richardson asked the court for leniency. Agnew was fined 310,000 and put on probation for three years. Two days later, President Nixon nominated House Minority Leader Gerald Ford to succeed Agnew in a festive White House affair at which Agnew's name was never publicly mentioned. ln two days, he had gone from a Republican hope to non-person. ln silence, Nixon weathered his eleventh crisis. 2 IIIDBHCI1 l11BIlt By the end of 1973, Congress and the nation were divided on whether President Richard M. Nixon was the victim of a few overzealous aides and an exaggerating press, or whether he is an obsessively ambitions man who has committed crimes against the Constitution. Sentiment for impeachment seemed to build slowly during the early months of 1974, but with the convening of the House Judiciary Committee to hear evidence on the impeachment issue, history began to accelerate. After deciding to allow the President's lawyer, James St. Clair, to participate in the impeachment proceedings, the Com- mittee amassed 13,000 pages of evidence on a range of subjects including: -intelligence gathering and the misuse of the CIA, the FBI and the Secret Service, - the illegal activities of White House plumbers to suppress news leaks and procure defamatory information on Daniel Ellsberg:-misuse of the Internal Revenue Service, including an attempt to politicize the IRS and exploit its private files for political purposes:- accepting illegal corporate campaign contributions, including one from ITT, in exchange for favorable White House policies:-accepting a contribution from a milk producers' group in exchange for raising the ceiling on milk prices,- claiming an income tax deduction of more than S570,000 for Vice Presidential papers following a cut-off date after which such deductions were ruled illegalp- improperly using govern- ment funds to embellish the President's private properties in San Clemente and Key Biscayne: -directing an effort to conceal the White House police operations and to cover up the operation of the plumbers. On July 19, after the presentation of evidence, the Com- mittee's majority counsel, John Doar, with the concurrence of minority counsel Albert Jenner, urged the members to recom- mend a Senate trial of President Nixon on one or more of five central charges. The broad articles of impeachment alleged that Nixon: - obstructed justice in the Watergate and related scandals: -abused the power of the Presidency in dealing with governmental agencies: - committed contempt of Congress by his failure to produce subpoenaed records and tapes: -failed to perform his constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the land be faithfully executed: - denigrated the Presidency through underpayment of Federal income taxes and the use of public funds to improve private property. As the commitee prepared to vote on the various articles, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision ordering Nixon to turn over records and tapes of 64 conversations which he had refused to surrender to Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski. The President promised to comply with the ruling. EDlTOR'S NOTE: ln a televised broadcast August 8, 1974, lformerl President Richard M. Nixon resigned the office of the Presidency. Damaging tapes, lack of Congressional support and public outrage left him little choice. Holding back tears, Nixon reviewed the successes of his past, neglected failures of his present and skimmed over the possibil- ities of his future. The truth remains to be seen--possibly to be seen only through the historians' eyes. CONFINING l don't like shoes.

He feels that the wide range of business and industry present in the city provides an atmosphere conducive to a profes- sional school. lnteraction between the business community and the College of Business is of prime importance in several ways. Representatives of various businesses and industries are available for classroom visits and discussionsg this is an oppor- tunity that students in the College find stimulating and educational. One such event is the annual appear- ance of a member of the Young Pres- ident's Organization. Members of this organization are presidents of corpora- tions with a revenue of over one million dollars a year and are under the age of 35. This appearance is an open forum discus- sion which gives business students a chance to question the young executive about his success, as well as his philosophy in business. Another advantage of being located in an urban setting is the opportunity for job experience in a wide range of businesses. Both Dean McKibbin and the students in the College of Business cite this as an important factor in the success of the school. A high percentage of business students do hold jobs in addition to their work at the University which most definitely affects the nature of the classroom experience, Dean McKibbin says. Dean lVlcKibbin finds that working students are more serious and more sophisticated. He also states that the working student brings experience with him from the job which enriches his classroom activity. He feels that a student who has worked with business concepts on a job is more perceptive to the abstract theories behind that concept than a student who has only studied the theory in an academic atmosphere. Many business students attend WSU at night because of job commitments through the day. Night students generally receive fewer benefits than day students but the College of Business has made several steps to aid the evening students. 66 ,if An assistant to the Dean, Pat Cox, explained two of their attempts to help night students. On innovation made by the College is having the student records office open at least two nights a week for the convenience of night students. Cox, who Dean McKibbin says knows as much about the College of Business as he does, said that enough business courses are offered at night so that a student could graduate attending only at night. Dr. Lawrence E. McKibbin Dean McKibbin and several business students discussed what they see as a big problem facing the College of Business and the University as a whole. That problem is lack of publicity about WSU and the poor image that the University has labored under. They see a more active alumni as one solution to the problem but most of them feel that building a reputation as a quality institution takes time and patience.

Professional competence requires a broad understanding of the basic fields of business which it stresses in a number of the diversified classes offered each semester. ln addition, the department stresses the importance of acquiring a degree of specialized knowledge in the different areas of economics. The department offers approx- imately 40 undergraduate classes with an additional 20 graduate classes offered each semester. The College of Business Admini- stration seeks to create effective com- munication with the community and the surrounding region. The department of economics has been involved with the Center for Business and Economic Research which collects and disseminates economic data on Wichita and Kansas The Center is an approved federal census tape processing center. lt has the infor- mation available for the State of Kansas on computer tape and can provide special summaries and analyses for organizations who would need such data. f m.,4,.,,w,qy,7 ,,,.. gg, ..,,, I ,,N. ,, ,,a. ,,,L.,,,,: ' -v ' . pzfffefvm ' 5555 Wv wlfvi Wim W fp Apxjyfw H92 ..,,, ,,,,m,, , ,,., A, ,.

A speaking of distance is, in a sense, not distance at all. A word spoken, heard, is binding like the eye can bind: surrendering itself to flattening sky this 40-mile expanse of flinthills cut in two by our movement is reunited by a quick movement of the eye. This morning, cunling lush hills rise out of the land like a fullbodied woman from sleep, watching her lover turn, saying the words you no longer say. The words. The measure of distance that rides here. The words reflecting the problem: between your feelings that drift like circling clouds and my stubborn bedrock insistence that your softlimbed body pinning me to earth can blow up the Kansas sky, there can be no coming together. Separateness wins. Five miles past Newton, almost home, you gaze out the window, cough twice, light a cigarette, fumes curling around your faint reflection. ln the distance toward Wichita, we see four jets scratch rivulets across the sky like fingernails drawn up an unscarred back. The smoke heals, the skv is whole. Mix which AN includes of course There is much concern today about the future of man, which means, of course, both men and women--generic lVlan. For a woman to take exception to this use of the term man is often seen as defensive hair-splitting by an emotional female. The following experience is an invitation to awareness in which you are asked to feel into, and stay with, your feelings through each step, letting them absorb you. If you start intellec- tualizing, go back to the step where you can again sense your feelings. Then proceed. Keep count of how many times you need to go back. Step 1. Consider reversing the generic term Man. Think of the future in which the general term for humans is woman which, of course, includes both women and men. Feel into that, sense its meaning to you--as a woman or as a man. Step 2. Think of it always being that way, every day of your life. Feel the ever-presence of woman and feel the non-presence of man. Absorb what it tells you about the importance and value of being woman--of being man. Step 3. Recall that everything you have ever read all your life uses only female pronouns--she, her--meaning both girls and boys, both women and men. Recall that most of the voices on radio and most of the faces on TV are women's--when impor- tant events are covered--on commercials and on late talk shows. Recall that you have one male senator representing you in Washington. Step 4. Feel into the fact that women are the leaders, the power-centers, the prime-movers. Nlan, whose natural role is husband and father, fulfills himself through nurturing children and making the home a refuge for woman. This is only natural to balance the biological role of woman who devotes her entire body to the race during pregnancy. Pregnancy--the most revered power known to Womankind land man, of coursel. Step 5. Then feel further into the obvious biological explana- tion for woman as the ideal--her genital construction. By design, female genitals are compact and internal, protected by her body. Male genitals are so exposed that he must be protected from outside attack to assure the perpetuation of the race. His vulnerability obviously requires sheltering. Step 6. Thus, by nature, males are more passive than females, and have a desire in sexual relations to be symbolically engulfed by the protective body of the woman. lVlales psychologically yearn for this protection, fully realizing their masculinity at this time, and feeling exposed and vulnerable at other times. A man experiences himself as a whole man when thus engulfed. Step 7. If the male denies these feelings, he is unconsciously rejecting his masculinity. Therapy is thus indicated to help him adjust to his own nature. Of course, therapy is administered by a woman, who has the education and wisdom to facilitate openness, leading to the male's growth and self-actualization. Step 8. To help him overcome his defensive emotionality, he is invited to get in touch with the child in him. He remem- bers his sister's jeering at his primitive genitals that flop around foolishly. She can run, climb and ride horseback un- encumbered. Obviously, since she is free to move, she is encouraged to develop her body and mind in preparation for the active responsibilities of adult womanhood. The vulnerable male needs female protection, so he is taught the less active, caring, virtues of homemaking. Step 9. Because of his vagina-envy, he learns to bind up his genitals, and learns to feel ashamed and unclean because of his nocturnal emissions. He is encouraged to dream of getting married, waiting for the time of his fulfillment when the right woman comes along--when his woman gives him a girl-child to care for. He knows that if it is a boy-child he has failed somehow--but they can try again. Step 10. ln getting to the child in him, these early experiences are reawakened. He is at an encounter group entitled, On Being a Man which is led by a woman. ln a circle of 19 men and 4 women, he begins to work through some of his deep feelings about his role in society.

W EQ f X Q -r is N, Q1 The To most students at Wichita State University the appearance of the Sun- flower in various buildings on campus is as much of an expected event as the bell at the end of each class period. But like many established traditions we often fail to realize that what is now available in abundance is the product of hard work and sacrifice. From its modest beginning in the basement of Fairmount Hall to its present location in Wilner Hall, the Sunflower has reflected the atmosphere of the University and the changing times. The first edition appeared in January of 1896 and was published bi-monthly. The original office consisted of a chair, one table and a typewriter. Its purpose was to promote the interest of the University through the influence of the press. The majority of the first editions of the Sunflower contained essays written by students portraying their life at the college. The first schedules of courses, along with the first student directories were printed in the newspaper. Nlost of the articles during the early years of publication centered around sports, social events, alumni activities and the growth of the campus. Examples of such news items included: Elmer Kelly called on friends of the College last week , lVlrs. Roulet is just recovering from a severe attack of the grippe g Professor Smoke took a trip to King- fisher. ln October of 1897, the Sunflower moved to a monthly publication. Three months later in the December issue, the first photograph appeared. The picture was that of the football team. lt was not until November 10, 1906, that the first banner headline appeared which Sunflower read, Wheatshockers Push Sons of lchabod All Over The Field lThe score was 7-6l. In the fall of 1907, under the new editor, Cornelia Hall, the paper began to resemble our present publication in layout and content, as well as being more journalistically oriented. lt was also during this time that the publica- tion of the paper increased to a weekly issue. While the Sunflower was expe- riencing many changes in format, athletic events dominated the content of the paper. Sports information was not contained within a specific area until the spring of 1927. One issue published in 1913 contained a total of thirteen photographs with four football pictures on the front page, three more on the second page, another on page three, and an unprecedented five on the fourth page. In the fall of 1926, when Fairmount College became the University of Wichita, the newspaper was one of the few institutions of the college that was retained. ln 1935 the Sunflower won national acclaim after receiving the coveted Pacemaker rating from the American Collegiate Press Association. From 1935 to 1948 the Sunflower continued to receive top national ratings. Because of these awards the Sunflower was recognized nationally as one of the top college newspapers. An outstanding feature of the 1936 Sunflower was the sports page--and its editor. lVls. Lois Carpenter reportedly received most of her information from the quarterback of the football team who was also her boyfriend. By the 1950's the Sunflower was often publishing 12 to 20 page issues. Advertising was the least of its problems since national cigarette advertisements dominated half of the paper. This was the age of the Silent Generation. The Sunflower led few crusades for change, unlike its role in the 30's. One editorial that appeared in 1957 berated the idea of a student voice in university policy saying student judge- ment was not 'mature' enough to handle such a role. ln the 60's the paper continued to grow with the University with the addition of another publication each week. The social protest and turmoil that swept the U.S. campuses during the second half of the decade began to effect the Sunflower by 1968. During the 1968-69 academic year, Ron Wiley served as the off-and-on editor and columnist, along with publishing an underground newspaper, The Wichita Free Press. Articles in the Sunflower called for such reforms as greater student representation on University committees and the need for a pass-fail grading system. The change in student attitudes was reflected by the controversy over the proposed new stadium, which was ad- amantly opposed by a group of students calling themselves 'COST.' This would have been unthinkable in the era when the Shockers Pushed the Sons of lchabod all over the Field. The wilting of student activism in the early 70's was reflected in last year's Sunflower, when the student demonstra- tions attracting the most attention were the Ked-clad streakers dashing around Grace Wilkie Hall. But the 'U' continued on the move with record enrollment approaching 15,000 during the 1973-74 academic year. True to form, the Sunflower was also expanding to three issues a week. The 1974-75 Sunflower has continued to reflect the changing nature of Wichita State University whose enroll- ment includes an ever-growing number of veterans and part-time students. The fall Sunflower, under the editorship of Terry Horne, instituted a veteran's corner, as well as publishing articles on the inequities suffered by veterans, along with part-time and night students. The spring semester, under the editorship of Dan Bearth, has reflected a more intense coverage of news that affected students on a number of different levels. With the circulation of 8,500 per issue, the Sunflower is a-far cry from the first edition printed 79 years ago. Today there is little society news, sports is contained in a specific section and the sizeable increase in the editorials indicate the different times which separate these papers. While they bear the same name, they are two very different papers. KMUW, Wichita State University's stereo FM radio station, has come a long way from the good ole days when the original station, called WU, began broadcasting in February of 1947. That first broadcast ran for only thirty minutes a day, and the trans- mitter was stored in a shoe box. Spread out among four store rooms atop Jardine Hall, the 600 kilocycle station could only be picked up on campus. lt was not until 1948 that WU increased its broadcasting time to five hours daily, and in 1949 it passed FCC inspection and acquired an FM band. lt was the first such FM band in the state, and the second in the country to be operated by a university. ln the following year, the station moved from Jardine Hall to the Communications building at the corner of Fairmount and 17th street. KMUW, an offshoot of that original station, currently hopes to increase its power from the present 10,000 watts to 100,000 watts, which would allow transmission over a large area of Kansas. The station currently operates 18 hours every day of the year. Despite all the changes, one thing remains the same -- KMUW still operates for students. Almost the entire staff is made up of students and it provides for them a broad experience in actual radio operations. The bulk of KMUW's programming consists of broadcasts not carried by commercial stations. Concerts, discus- sion groups and dramatic productions are among the most common. Special music hours are also scheduled through- out the week. The station is also one of more than 150 public radio stations affiliated with the National Public Radio Network, located in Washington, D.C. This enables KMUW to receive live programs directly from Washington to be broadcast locally. Regular programming is designed to give a cross section of music and features, with special broadcasts cover- ing current events. Jazz, Rock, Gospel, Classical, Country and Western, Orchestral and Ethnic Music are all part of the weekly programming scheduled by KMUW. Also broadcast are campus activities such as sporting events and live interviews with celeb- rities who visit the campus or the city of Wichita. Original drama and comedies, written and produced especially for radio, are also a part of KMUW's programming. Discussions focusing upon contemporary subjects such as pollution, computer technology and education are presented along with the comments of authorities in such fields. Profiles of those persons partic- ipating in the many and varied fields of the arts and humanities are broad- cast periodically to add to the variety of programs scheduled. KMUW is funded through member- ship fees, contributions and corporate memberships. It currently has a full- time directorship staff of five. The development of KMUW typifies those changes that Wichita State University has experienced: increasing its program variety, enlarging its facilities and expanding its range. For most of us, the opportunity to observe such change is the opportunity to witness the future. 87 both. I hateirats though QQ is concerned about her To ifeelr is to plunge Anger 'and Soul.

This division serves as the administrative unit that has been established to meet the educational needs of those citizens in our community who are not regularly enrolled students in another college of the University, through academic work of a cultural, vocational or semiprofessional nature. The functions of this program, which is directed to the adults of our community, are: ill to provide continuing education in a variety of fields for those vvho wish to study for their own personal enrichment, l2l To cooperate with business and industry in providing for groups of employees spe- cialized courses, with or vvithout credit, l3l To sponsor lectures conferences and institutes for the benefit of students and the general public, l4l To afford, through cooperation with degree-granting colleges, courses during evening hours leading to a degree in one of the colleges of the University, f5l to maintain administrative facilities for students vvho havematriculated for special programs or for an unspecified degree, and who are not enrolled in another college of the University. I Continuing Educoiion The Division of Continuing Educa- tion is suffering from growing pains. According to James Petree, Dean of Continuing Education, the condition is uncomfortable, but not fatal. The Division is currently undergoing a review of its policies and goals in hopes of achieving a University approach to continuing education. Many of the other colleges carry on continuing education programs which sometimes result in duplication of effort. The Division has gone under many titles and titular and organizational changes in its history. Until 1952, the area of continuing education was titled, Extension Division. ln 1952, it was determined that this was a misnomer, since the Division was serving Wichita area students in on-campus programs, and little emphasis was given to developing courses outside of the city. The College of Adult Education was then organized under the direction of Dean T. Reese Marsh, who headed the unit through 1960. The Division of Continuing Education, as it is now known, was organized in 1961. lt operated with a Director until July 1, 1973, when a Dean was again added to the unit. Dean Petree says that the Division has made tremendous progress in the last year and believes that there is great potential for Continuing Educa- tion programs in Wichita. The Division of Continuing Educa- tion is made up of approximately 1,500 credit students who are attending the University for about as many 90 reasons. Students may attend either credit or non-credit courses. They are non-degree bound upon entering the University. Petree says that students enrolled in credit courses can be admitted through standard admission policy or Open Admissions and can be divided into three basic categories: lll students who have never attended col- lege and are looking for a chance to test the water before making a degree commitment: i2l students who are attending WSU on a temporary basis while earning credit to transfer, l3l students who have a degree and are taking refresher courses or preparing for graduate work. The Open Admissions policy applies to the following groups of undergraduate students who have not attended school during the past three years: lll students who hold either a high school diploma or the equivalent and l2i students who hold neither a diploma nor the equivalent but are at least 25 years old. According to Petree the Division of Continuing Education provides similar services to its students that University College provides to the recent high school graduate. However, he says, counseling and scheduling may be conducted differently when dealing with adult students who also have responsibilities of a family and job. All students in Continuing Education on a credit basis are governed by the-rules and policies of the University and grading practices are the same. The Division of Continuing Educa- tion must rely on the degree granting colleges for faculty and for establish- ment of credit for courses offered through the Division. Non-credit courses, however, employ some instruc- tors who are not faculty members. The non-credit classes receive no state funds and are entirely self-supporting. Looking ahead, Dean Petree speaks of the possibility of granting degrees to students who have never been on campus. This could be achieved by developing a method of awarding college credits for such things as life experience, job related learning and non-traditional delivery of established programs. Petree admits that this concept is futuristic but not un- realistic. In the short run Petree hopes to achieve better coordination of the non- credit continuing education programs being carried on by different colleges within the University. He expects that such an achievement would result in a better publicized and more effective public service program. . at .J. 2571 Q L 'ggi stil .u, 2' Ti- he W A ,,,- 'ww , .w , l,,' I ll, MNAWNWH A s xxx I I I .. . . ti 1 IV , T-41 ' T WV fn' ' --ss.. . 9 W W 1 9 A I ..

With the enroll- ment figures soaring to an un- precedented high, the University is chal- lenged to meet the increasing demands of the student body.

It is imperative that the University respond to the current problems and concerns of the student in the development of its programs to provide an education that is not only timeless and universal but also one that is specific, as well as contemporary. Although it is extremely difficult to discern the appropriate direction necessary to fulfill such a goal, these problems exist within the boundaries of the university milieu. What exists beyond the classroom is of the utmost importance when discussing the role of an urban institution such as WSU. X . rfff - -- 7 f, . Ei .f gl ' . 'H 1-fri?

Comparatively speaking, the variety of living situations and experiences that exist are as diverse as the number of students attending Wichita State University. Although it is difficult to draw a specific student profile, each possesses a common sense of awareness. Whether we live in an apartment complex, a house, our parent's home, or a dorm we are all affected by such problems as the nation's economic situation, our choice lor lack of choicei in our life styles, and the problems that exist day to day. To reveal all aspects of our living experiences would be impossible. Particular attention has been paid to certain aspects that involve a majority of student interest. Comparative analysis on the part of each individual will result in a better understanding of our rela- tionship to that of other students attending Wichita State University.

V ! ,,,, Q CX LOWERING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING BY AGNES C. LAUT We have been feeling the squeeze for ten years. And we have been talking about it. We are now at the howling stage, and if investigating committees and survey reports and diet squads could solve the problem of higher and higher costs of living, we should long ago have been dining on ambrosia and nectar. New York and Chicago have had diet squads testing on how little you could live, and the east side has been exper- imenting on the subject for twenty years without any headlines and with many bread lines. At a Republican luncheon where some public officials consumed a six-course menu lthey were not on the diet squadl to discuss the cost of living, one good gentleman ascribed all the trouble to high rents, another to the germophobe craze of the doctors, who pass impossible food regulations, yet another to the idle hands of the modern daughters of Eve, who won't learn to cook, but these explana- tions do not pay bills. Neither do the three official commissions lately engaged in wordy warfare on the subject--the Wicks Committee on milk, The Mayor's Committee on the high cost of food, and the Governor's Perkins Committee considering remedies. And it does not console us in the least to be told officially that a barrel of flour costs from three to four times as much as formerly because there is only half as much flour and five times as much gold. That is theory. The fact concerning me is l have to pay S12 for a barrel of flour when I used to pay only S4 and S5. I have to pay S7 to S8 for a ton of coal that used to cost S5 and S6. In the West many places have paid as high as S20 a ton. I have had to pay fifty to seventy cents for fresh eggs that used to cost twenty-five to thirty cents. I have to pay S7 to S8 for a cord of wood that used to cost S3 to S5. Beef costs me thirty-two cents where it used to cost eighteen cents. And when 96 you come to manufactured goods for table use, canned veg- etables, crackers, biscuits, cereal food, salmon, one of two things has happened--either the container has shrunk twenty per cent in size at the same price or the price has increased twenty per cent for the same size. For instance, you used to get three cans of certain veg- etables for a quarter. Today you either get only two for a quarter or pay outright fifteen cents a can. Cereal boxes that used to last the family two days now last the family only one day. Sometimes the box is smaller. At other times the box is occupied thirty per cent by paper fillers, enwrapping the goods, and, high as the cost of paper has gone, it is not as high as the foodstuff that formerly occupied that space in the box. As to bacon and ham, they are thirty-two cents to thirty-five cents where five years ago they were sixteen to eighteen cents. Cheese has gone from sixteen cents to thirty cents: currants, raisins, etc. have all but doubled in price. And all these prices may have advanced before this meets the reader's eye! I know that wages have increased thirty-three per cent in the last year in steel and metal industries, and one hundred per cent in some other industries during the last ten years, but the trouble is that where wages have increased one hundred per cent the cost of necessities has increased from one hundred fifty per cent to four hundred per cent, and explanations do not make ends meet. Neither do they remedy matters. lt is the fatal spiral which the late James Hill had been predicting for ten years. We increase wages again in the frantic endeavor to catch up on the cost of living, it is more like a dervish dance or a maelstrom than wholesome, poised, secure living. This is what is making modern existence for moderate wage earners a fevered, discon- tented thing, and ninety per cent of every population belongs and always will belong to the moderate-wage-earning class.

Q 4 SQfnrv LSx 5, P 'Z, Q Sharing room, board and bed, some- times, is now fully accepted by college couples They are not trying out mar- riage: they just see living together as a natural part of a strong dating rela- tionship. Many years ago, back in the sexually stricter days of 1968 a Barnard College sophomore named Linda LeClair became a national celebrity after the public revelation that she was living off-campus with a Columbia University dropout. Linda's battle with school authorities made front-page news in The New York Times and other papers across the country: Time did a feature story on Linda the Light House- keeper. Reporters who tried to learn how widespread the practice was at other colleges around the country received a variety of conflicting rumors and guesses from students and school officials. But for obvious reasons, no one had any data. Now, several years and much attitude change later, cohabitation on campus has become so widespread, and relatively open, that dozens of researchers have conducted studies on the practice. Whether what they have learned surprises you may depend on how close you are to the campus scene of today. But clearly a significant number of unmarried couples are now living together on campuses across the country: and their collective habits and attitudes represent an important contemporary living pattern. How Many? On the basis of available research, estimates of the number of college students who have cohabited vary greatly, from less than 10 per cent to more than 33 per cent, depending on a variety of factors: the schools' geo- graphic locations: housing regulations and their enforcement: the male-female student ratio: the researchers' sampling methods and their definition of co- habitation. 98 t In a survey of more than 500 students at California State University at Northridge, nearly 10 per cent were currently involved in a relatively permanent heterosexual consensual union, and 25 per cent had been so involved at some time. ln a question- naire answered by more than 1,000 unmarried students at Pennsylvania State, about 33 per cent answered yes to the question: Are you now living or have you ever lived with someone of the opposite sex? The effect of school housing regula- tions can be seen in a comparison of two small, liberal arts colleges in the Midwest. At one which allows some off-campus housing and 24-hour visita- tion privileges, 18 per cent of the men and 15 per cent of the women had been involved in a cohabitation experience at some time. At another, otherwise similar, school with no off-campus housing and some restrictions on opposite sex visitors, the cohabitation figure drops to only nine per cent. And there are probably many schools in sexually conservative regions or with restrictive regulations at which co- habitation hardly takes place at all. The phenomenon of unmarried co- habitation is obviously not limited to any particular region of the country. It is fast becoming such an established fact of college life for both students and administrators, that we would do well to look more closely at the habits and attitudes of those who are cohabiting. Defining Cohabitation One of the biggest problems in studying cohabita- tion is definition of the term itself. Different people use a variety of dif- ferent phrases that have different meanings: academic terms such as quasi- marriage, or consensual cohabitation: more popular terms like living to- gether, and arrangement : and more pejorative terms such as shacking up, usually implying an essentially sexual relationship. Aside from their verbal vagueness, none of these terms specifies the amount of time a couple must have spent together. Cohabitation was defined as having shared a bedroom andfor bed with someone of the opposite sex lto whom one was not marriedi for four or more nights a week for three or more consecutive months. This definition thereby excluded occasional overnight or regular weekend relationships. Who Cohabits? ln order to get a clearer profile of those students who had cohabited, backgrounds, experiences and attitudes were compared with the noncohabitants in a sample.1 It was found that in many respects the two groups were surprisingly similar. The cohabitants were no more likely to have come from broken homes than the noncohabitants. Nor was there any significant difference in their parents' level of education or income. Religion was significantly related to the tendency to cohabit, but only current religious preference, not religion of birth. While less than a third of the entire sample of 300 had cohabited, 44 per cent of those with no religions preference had done so, 36 per cent of those who identified themselves as Jewish had cohabited, versus only 12 per cent of the Catholics and 10 per cent of the Protestants. Contrary to parental fears that cohabitation either leads to or somehow implies a lack of attention to school work, there was no significant difference in academic performance between co- habitants and noncohabitants. Another finding that will undoubtedly surprise many parents was that the two groups did not differ significantly in their desire to marry eventually. The students who had cohabited tended to believe that sexual norms on campus were more liberal, and to report that more of their friends had co- habited. For instance, nearly three fourths of the cohabitants predicted that 40 per cent or more of the students on campus would have cohabited by the time they graduated. Less than one third of the noncohabitants predicted that many. About 25 per cent of the co- habitants, versus only four per cent of the noncohabitants, claimed that most or all of their friends had cohabited. However, it is not certain if the habits of their friends influenced their decision to cohabit: or if cohabitation tends to determine one's friendships and one's perception of the norms, or if persons with similar value systems are simply more likely to be friends. As one would expect both this study and those at other schools indicate that as a group, cohabitants generally have more sexual experience and more liberal sexual attitudes than noncohabitants, For example, virtually all the cohabitants at Cornell were non-virgins, compared with 68 per cent of the noncohabitants, But again, we do not know whether this sexual liberality represents the cause or the result, or perhaps both, of the cohabitation experience. Since such a large number of students at both Cornell and other schools are now cohabiting, we felt it would be useful to ask those who weren't, why not. The results imply that cohabitation may depend more on opportunity than liberality. Given a list of 17 different possible reasons for why they had not cohabited, only seven per cent of the non-cohabitants indicated they had refrained because they felt unmarried cohabitation was morally wrong. About 25 per cent cited geographic distance from partner as the most important reason: and an equal number claimed they had not yet found the right person. lt was not clear, however, whether not yet having met the right person is due to real lack of opportunity, or if it might be a function of sexual or of social incompetence, or of a lack of mere physical attractiveness. Emotional Attachment ln the questionnaire, when asked to check the most important reason for why they chose to live with someone, about 70 per cent of the cohabitants picked emotional attachment to each other. Others checked security, companionship, enjoyment and convenience. In fact however, cohabitation was rarely a purposeful act based upon careful reasoning and decision. Only 25 per cent had discussed whether to live together before actually starting to do so. At least initially, most cohabitation rela- tionships simply drifted into sleeping together more and more often. Cohabitation ls Not Trial Marriage. While the media has often labeled these college couples as unmarried marrieds, or trial marriage, students themselves generally do not see their relationship that way. At Cornell and other schools where surveys have been conducted, most undergraduate couples do not consider themselves married in any sense of the word. In fact, very few even considered marriage as a viable alternative to their present cohabitation. They did not feel ready for that kind of commitment. What It All Means. Although much more detailed study needs to be done, one can reach certain conclusions from the information we have so far. On a campus where the incidence of cohabita- tion is high, persons who cohabit are not dramatically different from those who do not. In many ways, in fact, these students seem characteristic of the general undergraduate population, with their cohabitation more a function of opportunity than of any demographic characteristics. They do tend to be people whose personal values are consistent with this lifestyle, but the extent to which these differences cause or result from the cohabitation experience remains to be seen. It does seem clear that the great majority of undergraduates view cohabitation as an acceptable living pattern for the college-aged individual involved in an ongoing, caring relation- ship. Many of them feel they would be comfortable engaging in cohabitation, and many of those who have not yet cohabited would if they could. Given peer group support, ample opportunity, the human need to love and be loved, and a disposition to question the traditional social mores, it is not surprising that college couples who enjoy being together should wish to live together. At this point, one might ask, why do some couples choose not to live together? As now practiced at Cornell and other campuses, cohabitation does not appear to be either a trial marriage or an alternative to marriage. ln general, these students do not consciously testing templating a potential not initially. Instead living together seems see themselves as or even con- marriage, at least in most cases, to be a natural component of a strong, affectionate dating relationship--a living out of what used to be called going steady. The relationship may grow in time to become something more but in the meantime it is to be enjoyed and experienced because it is pleasurable in and of itself. 1ln April, 1972, a study was made of cohabitation at Cornell University, a large, coeducational school in Ithaca, in upstate New York. From the undergraduate population of 11500 i7,500 males, 4,000 females! a rep- resentative sample of 400 students: 100 male and 100 female sophomores: and 100 male and 100 female seniors. Of the 400 invited by mail to participate in the survey, 300 for 75 per centl completed usable questionnaires. The results of this survey appeared in the November, 1974, edition of Psychology Today. 99 Yuri Thinking of that family always leads me into thoughts of that giant panting creature leaping blindly for love, somehow maintaining a kind of unconscious dignity while allowing the baby to pull at its ears and ride its neck and while giving reproachful moans to anyone cold-hearted enough to leave: I always remember him like that. But regardless of my attempts to keep him there, running towards me with tongue out and fur bristling, waiting to roll with me, anxious to join me in my reading, I cannot halt the scene--- in blasphemous fury it rushes on and I am incapable of stopping again and again the gunshot of the hunter and the smell of bloody fur.

Chaffee, Dean of the College of Education. This, he says, is a must for a college within a University such as WSU. Not only does the faculty of the College of Education have the ability to work with profes- sionals in the field of education, Dean Chaffee remarks, but the close relation- ship is unique and of tremendous value to Wichita State University. Dean Chaffee says that the faculty is the most important aspect of his College. He feels as an administrator, the Dean has an important role in helping the faculty assess needs, design programs and implement them. The development of off-campus and in-service educational programs is of prime concern to Dean Chaffee and the College of Education. One such in- service project is the Teacher Renewal Project developed by the Wichita Public School System. This program is designed to help regular classroom teachers deal with problems of the special education student. This concept, called mainstreaming, provides for the education of special education stu- dents within the regular school environ- ment. Another in-service project mention- ed by Dean Chaffee is called Right- to-Read. This program is nationally funded and is directed towards helping classroom teachers become more effective in the skills of reading tech- niques. The Dean says that it is essential for the College to develop more effective ways to work with personnel in schools and other educa- tional agencies. Dean Chaffee indicates that he views the role of the University expanding to include an even greater emphasis in relating to the community. Continuing or life-long education has always been an important responsibility of the College of Education and the University. Speaking from over twenty years of educational experience, Dean Chaffee definitely thinks students have changed in that time period. He explains, Students have become increasingly serious in terms of their own personal goals -- what they want from life and what they have to offer. He goes on to say that students are politically more sophisticated than ever before because of improved education and systems of com- munication. Discussing the progress of WSU, Dean Chaffee states, l believe that WSU is a fine institution and I am very pleased to be part of the increased emphasis upon field-related programs and life-long education. ln my opinion, we have become a vital part of the state system. kill ' 103 4i ,tg ,.,., 'un- ti?

Through the Multi-Institutional Teacher Education Center llVllTECl and the Field-based Program, University students have the opportunity to enroll in alternative programs in teacher educa- tion. The Field-based Program serves students beginning their professional programs and MITEC provides for advanced students at the student teach- ing level. ..3- 'i j Pzrsonnzl bzrviczs The Department of Personnel Services provides two different courses of study. The student guidance program is designed to prepare prospective and practicing counselors with the theoret- ical and practical bases for the profes- sional practice of counseling in schools, colleges, mental health agencies and other settings. The primary aid of the professional preparation is to enable the counselor to build helping repationships for others based upon the human needs and real- ities of the various settings in which persons function and develop. The Educational Administration and Supervision program's objective is to prepate prospective and in-service admin- istrators and supervisors to function in leadership roles in educational institut- ions le.g., schools, hospitals, industry, governmental agenciesl. The leadership role includes the coordination of the efforts of people toward the achieve- ment of the goals of the institution with the prime goal being the enhancement of teaching and learning. The Student Personnel and Guidance program has an enrollment of approximately 300 students and the Educational Administration and Super- vision program has over 400 students enrolled. Both programs combined pro- vide over 50 courses per semester.

The Department of Instructional Services includes the former departments of Elementary Education, Secondary Education and Educational programs, course descriptions, delivery system and staffing patterns for both campus and off-campus scheduling. ozrvlczs The Department cooperates with Wichita Public Schools in offering several undergraduate and graduate pro- grams. Currently, for example, the department is involved in the federally funded Teacher Renewal, Exceptional Children program and the Teacher Corps program in addition to field-based pro- grams for student aides and student teachers. Currently, the Department of Instructional Services offers approx- imately 116 courses with a student enrollment of 2,000. X 109 y A L U 5 The purpose of the undergraduate industrial education curriculum is to develop an understanding of industrial technology. Special emphasis is provided for those students who wish to prepare for teaching in different areas of industrial education programs. The Department of lndustrial Education provides several options with- in the curriculum. The first involves an emphasis in the area of teaching. This major prepares students to teach industrial education subjects in public schools. The requirements needed to secure certification have been established by the Kansas Board of Education. A second option deals vvith a technical emphasis. The requirements for an undergraduate major in this field specify an additional number of courses within the Department of lndustrial Education. Each semester the Department of lndustrial Education offers approximate- ly ten classes in the lower division, twenty courses in the upper division and six in the graduate program. 1iwmuw MH.- ,,,,. .,,,, , .. , ' K, il e HE w ll ,un um f lla gl H M I J! 1 , 1 if l ' 1' it +I Fall it l Robert Bennett l Clark D.

A major event that will occur in the near future for the Physical Educa- tion department will be the construc- tion of a new Physical Education- Recreation complex. This facility will not only enhance the image of Wichita State University, but will also provide intramural, recreational and service opportunities for the students and faculty. The major objective of the depart- ment is to provide the undergraduate student with a logical and meaningful sequence of learning experiences which would insure expertise in observing, evaluating and diagnosing efficient human movement. They also learn how to prescribe and organize learning activities that would enable each individual to achieve the maximum physical potential. lv ,M I ft Q., W Physical Educolion fi ik l l l g 1 f l l X i yd ,l 3.

Q The Department of Logopedics provides academic and clinical training for students at Wichita State University who wish to become professionally qualified to work with communicatively handicapped children and adults. The undergraduate program offers broad, comprehensive and preprofessional preparation for specialized training which is offered on the graduate level. Graduate work, culminating in a masters degree, is required to obtain professional certification as a speech or hearing clinician in the public schools, hospital clinics or rehabilitation centers or to engage in private practice. With an undergraduate, preprofessional major, a student can normally complete the masters degree graduate program in one calendar year and be eligible for certification by the American Speech and Hearing Association and the State of Kansas public schools. The PhD degree in logopedics is the only doctoral degree presently authorized to be awarded in the name of Wichita State University and prepares individuals to function professionally as independent clinicians or as teach-scholars in an academic setting. Loqopzdics lr.. 115 Aerospace Studies currently has 64 students enrolled in the department. Its goals are to select and prepare qualified University students for careers as com- missioned officers in the United States Air Force. The objective of all the courses in the Department of Aero- space Studies is to strengthen the general education base of students who are to become junior commissioned officers. Following conferral of a degree and successful completion of prescribed AFROTC requirements, a cadet is commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Flzrospcicz bludizs The department currently has both lower division and upper division courses, but no graduate program. The lower division courses include: U.S. Military Forces in the Contemporary World and Growth and Development of Aerospace Power. The upper division courses include: National Security Forces in the Contemporary American Society and The Professional Officer. An additional upper division course entitled, Flight Instruction Program, is offered to prepare qualified cadets for Federal Aviation Administration exams. Air Force ROTC has actively participated in community programs during the 1974-75 academic year. The Arnold Air Society, a professional and honorary service organization of Air Force ROTC cadets, has been involved in such activities as sponsoring the two Campus Blood Drives at WSU this past year. They have also helped the Wichita Police Department in various civic programs and have donated time, money or both to such institutions as KPTS, the local public television sta- tion, and local orphanages. Angel Flight, a coed auxiliary organization of Arnold Air Society, has also been actively involved in the programs mentioned above. .f ' an-it fi Q 117 x.! Mililory bcizncz The Department of Military Science has 57 students enrolled in the pro- gram. Eight courses are offered in a sequential four year program. The major subjects taught are in the areas of leadership, management, administra- tion, tactics, organization and military justice. Additionally, a six week summer camp is included to enable the students to put into practice what they have learned in the classroom. For those qualified students, additional instruction is available through participation in a flight program, the Airborne School, and the Ranger School. The goal of the Military Science Department is to commission Second Lieutenants for the United States Army. To achieve this goal, students are instructed in and exposed to the management and leadership experiences which provide them with the op- portunity to gain required knowledge and confidence. The program is now open to women, offering the same training and job opportunities that are available to men. For veterans, participation in just the advanced course enables them to receive their commissions in only two years. Pershing Rifles Front Row L to R: Kathy Cook Debbie Wiles Capt.

The college, founded by the Congregational Church, was governed by the church until 1926, when the citizens of Wichita voted to make Fairmount College the Municipal University of Wichita. After 38 years as a municipal insti- tution, the University again changed its status and on July 1, 1964, officially entered the state system of higher edu- cation. ln our second decade as a state institution, we are in a position to re- evaluate our past to plan for future objectives and developments. The methods that are used to evaluate uni- versities are numerous and are often based more on opinion than objective data, Ahlberg states. A prominent posi- tion among institutions of higher learn- ing is difficult to achieve. ln the past, Wichita State has suffered not so much from a bad reputation as from no reputation at all. Ahlberg, speaking from many years of experience in higher edu- cation, goes on to comment that Kansas universities enjoy a more favorable re- putation nationally than they experience state-wide. President Ahlberg states that Wichita State University places less emphasis on graduate work than many other, more sophisticated schools. Eighty-five per cent of the University's resources are committed to undergraduate programs: this compares with a figure of about sixty-five per cent at the University of Kansas. Ahlberg says the emphasis on the undergraduate program as opposed to a strong commitment to graduate work is not detrimental to the overall quality of education available at Wichita State University and in fact, enhances the undergraduate opportunity. To explain his feeling on this matter, Ahlberg cites examples of grad- uate oriented institutions where some faculty members teach nothing but grad- uate courses. In some cases this could mean that the most experienced and highly trained professors are never seen by undergraduates. Therefore, the under- graduate might receive little benefit from attending a university which has a notable staff of professors. Qhlbzrq The situation that exists at Wichita State is different. President Ahlberg stresses the fact that students have the opportunity to meet with professors outside of the classroom. This contact can provide some of the most valuable learning, Ahlberg comments. Ahlberg believes the classroom is certainly not the only place where learn- ing and education take place. He is in favor of expanding the open university concept to allow larger numbers of people to take advantage of the univer- sity. l am all for experimentation . . . l am enthusiastic about the prospect of using the community as a laboratory for the education of students, Ahlberg states. The only problem that faces a program such as this would be devising an objective means of evaluating a stu- dent's achievement. Although he is aware of the potential of the open uni- versity, Ahlberg states that there is still a need for the traditional classroom learning situation that creates an alliance of the more experienced and widely read professor with the less experienced student. Because of his many years of exper- ience, Ahlberg believes that he is in a position to state that every area of education offered at WSU is of respect- able quality. Even after allowing for an understandable bias Ahlberg feels that Wichita State University excels in several programs when making a comparison on both a state-wide and national level. For example, the music program at WSU is nationally recognized for its excellence. The College of Engineering also en- joys a wide reputation in aeronautical engineering and general aviation. The College of Business offers the best undergraduate program in the state. The departments of Chemistry, English, Political Science and Economics also represent a few of the better undergrad- uate programs found state-wide. President Ahlberg states, Wichita State University is a place of great potential. With intelligence, creativity and planning, by 1980 WSU should be a much more sophisticated, diversified and highly qualified institution than we are experiencing during the present time. ADMINISTRATIVE: CDFFICEIZS JAMES RHATIGAN Vice President for Stuoent Affairs, Dean of Students Dean Rhatigan sums up his role as one that is designed to make students feel good about being at WSU.

Dean Rhatigan states that the services provided through his office fall into three categories: remedial, preventive and developmental. His office is also responsible for the placemen1 office, health center, Campus Activities Center and more than ten other student services. Rhatigan recalls that when he first came to WSU he was primarily interested in student rights. He now feels that he does not know of any other institution in the country whose student rights policies are more effective than WSU's. DR. DONALD CHRISTENSON, Assistant to the Vice President speculates that Ablah Library The position of Assistant to the Vice President allows for a great deal of flexibility, according to the holder of this title, Donald Christenson. A majority of his work has centered around collecting, tabulating and analyzing data that concerns a wide range of problems that arise within the University. Examples of Dr. Christenson's projects involve one such study on the operating budget of the University, while another involved the University College. The crea- tion of this new position came about as the result of a need to have one central figure collect and compile information to be brought before an administrative body to facilitate quicker and more inform- ed decisions on various problems. . ,I f 1 XX X ill., ii xxx.

A goal of Schad's as Director of Libraries is to see that materials in the library are designed for effective instructional use by the faculty. Another important goal is to make sure that students are equipped to use the library facilities. Knowing how to use the library is important because, according to Schad, the library should be a tool for students to upgrade their own knowledge both while at the University and through their lives. Schad will be full in four to five XX years, but all future plans hinge on the availability of new space.

Because he works with all of the colleges, Breazeale is in a position to coordinate the academic and educational efforts of the different colleges. Such a function serves to prevent duplication of effort and to promote and develop programs involving two or more colleges. Breazeale also works with each of the Deans to help them coordinate their programs, obtain the necessary teaching personnel and acquire fac- ilities and equipment for new or expanding programs. DR.

ETHEL JANE KING, Executive Director of the Alumni Association Ethel Jane King directs the activities of the Alumni Association: she describes the Alumni Association as a liaison between the University and its graduates. The Association acts as a service organization for approximately 26,000 WSU alumni and for the University. King says that the primary activity of the Alumni Association is fund raising. Funds generated through the Alumni Annual Fund are used for scholarships, departmental gifts, library funds or are kept in reserve for unexpected needs of any department within the University. The two major social events of the Alumni Association are Homecoming and Spring Reunion. It is during Spring Reunion that classes of certain years are honored and outstanding achievements of alumni are recognized. . -4. - 5 Sf- lf? lx r , X ,I - 1 fr-.,,.p4' ARMIN BRANDHORST, Director of the Physical Plant As director of the Physical Plant, Armin Brandhorst is in charge of architectural and engineering services, campus security, traffic and the central energy plant.

Brandhorst's office supervises the construction of new buildings on campus, as well as remodeling or renovating the older buildings. Brandhorst sees the function of his position as being responsible for the improvement and main- tenance of both the structural and visual aspects of all the facilities on the WSU campus within the limitations of the budget and manpower. One of the many problems facing this office has been the need for an adequate main- tenance staff. Since many of the local businesses can afford to pay students more than the University, students will con- sequently seek jobs with these businesses rather than finding employment with this particular - area of the University. 44-z,,+- I I 'f'Nf1:5. , 'Q' gf- fini? 1 I I 126 TED BREDEHOFT, Director of , ' p, Athletics xx, , , Ted Bredehoft views his role 1 as athletic director as a chance to ' 'TV H ' build and maintain a total inter- V collegiate program of excellence.

REIDENBAUGH, Executive Vice President of the Board of Trustees g H. Fl. Reidenbaugh serves as if f the Executive Vice President of ' , the Board of Trustees and Exec- ' -X utive Secretary to the Endowment ,xt 1' Association. These positions were .6 , fl created after WSU changed from a l I W f W municipal university to a state institution. Reidenbaugh's major ME- ', role is to encourage private and X X 'G h- PN N . as corporate donors to augment the University's resources. The success . of his efforts at Wichita' State University is dependent on his ability to develop and maintain the confidence of the public. One aspect of Reidenbaugh's job is administration of non-state appropriated funds. Basically, this is the 1.5 mill levy paid by Wichita taxpayers used to retire debts of the old municipal university. As the debt is paid off the difference between the income and the amount needed to retire the debt becomes greater. This money is used for faculty travel and enrichment or can be applied to such proiects as the Urban Studies Research Center. The Endowment Association, which has been in existence for nine years, administers 3 million dollars in assets used to provide funding for six distinguished professorships, and for scholarships. -I - 127 l County o Big oi Sedgwick Brothers Incorporated in 1969 as a non- profit, non-government organization, Big Brothers of Sedgwick County has grown from an all volunteer group to a nine member, full time staff, which operates a professional social work agency. The Sedgwick County agency serves more boys per capita than any of the other 285 Big Brother programs nation-wide. Not only is the percentage greater, but the growth level has also led the natior in the number of matches that have been made each year. Support from Wichita State Univer- sity has made the Big Brother Program the prosperous and successful organiza- tion that it is today, states Nick Mork, director of the agency. He goes on to comment, The University has involved itself in a 'real way.' We are very grate- ful for the cooperation we have received from WSU. Wichita State University provides many services to the agency, while a number of faculty and administrators, as well as students are involved in the 128 program itself. LaVonna Spencer, Director of the DARE Program sponsored through the University Col- lege, serves as one of the members of the Board of Directors. Bill Glenn, Campus Activities Center manager, provides the services of the CAC in the way of facilities for recruitment pur- poses for the agency. The Computer Center has played an active role in the Big Brother program by storing informa- tion on the different Little Brothers. When an individual displays interest in participating in the program his name is put into the computer to match the interests and activities, to coordinate the needs of both the Little Brother and the Big Brother. The Testing Center often tests prospective employees, as well as any testing that might be needed for the Little Brothers. Central Services does most of the printing needed by the agency along with providing their services as far as office and business supplies are needed. Financial Aids allows students who qualify for the Work Study Program to be staff mem- bers, which makes it possible for the Big Brothers to have an effective number of ttaff members to facilitate the program. l'he Community Psychology Division of the Psychology Department provides interested students for potential staff and volunteer workers. The Big Brother program exists to help fill the void in a fatherless boy's life. This program has been designed to work on a one-to-one basis. One man helping one boy by providing desperate- ly needed male guidance and companionship. The Big Brothers of Sedgwick County is located within the Children's Service League agency. This program recruits, screens and trains Big Brother candidates. Respected professionals in the various areas of child guidance, counseling and research meet with the Big Brothers regularly. The selection process insures that a Big Brother is qualified for working with boys. The professional staff works directly with the Little Brother and his family to make certain that the Big Brother's influence is reinforced in the home environment. The agency familiarizes itself with the boy's particular problems and interests. Factors in the home, school, and peer group are examined as to their role in behavior. Using this information and the profile of the Big Brother obtained through the screening process, the agency carefully matches the men and boys so that most of the obstacles to meaningful friendship are removed. Life for the fatherless boy is extremely difficult. ln Sedgwick County alone, there is an estimated number of over 7,000 fatherless boys, states Nick Nlork, director. He goes on to comment, lt is difficult to know how to grow into a man if you have only women to relate to. Mothers, sisters, school teachers, den moms are all great, but a boy needs a man's influence in his life as well. By having someone that he can identify with, he has some- one who can share his growing pains. ln most cases a Little Brother's problems are compounded because he has been rejected by his father. A Big Brother helps to introduce a boy to the world of a responsible productive man. A fatherless boy has a seven to eight times greater chance of becoming delinquent than a boy with a father. Big Brothers cannot replace a missing father, but they can give a boy an even break in spite of his family situation. When a boy runs afoul of the law, it costs the community over 33,000 to adjudicate, institutionalize and rehabilitate the child. The average cost to our organiza- tion of a Big Brother!Little Brother match for one year is just over 3150, although there is no charge to the family of the Little Brother or the Big Brother. The Big Brothers program does not compete with other groups involved in boys' activities. Little Brothers are Boy Scouts, Little Leaguers, go to Y camps, to mention only a few, and yet they still desperately need special manly attention. A coach or Scoutmaster must divide his attention among manv bnvs, A Big Brother concentrates his energies on one boy. Big Brothers also works closely with other agencies that help boys. School counselors the Wichita Guidance Center, social service offices of our local hospitals, social workers and others refer boys to the agency. The Big Brother Program has provided the community with a positive solution to a problem that exists all too frequently. The success of such a program can be attributed to those individuals who have given their support generously. While the University exists primarily for academic purposes, it provides a number of services that help to benefit the community. if 2 F . , 5 i 3 2 2 Z Qlumni Qssocicition Wigwam 130 The WSU Alumni Association plays a significant but indirect role in the lives of WSU students. Through its annual giving program, the Association supports student scholarships, individual college projects, purchase of equipment, and books for the library thus enriching the resource materials available to students. Sponsorship of the National Merit Scholarship program was initiated by the Alumni Association in 1972 and has been responsible for bring some of the top scholars of the nation to WSU. The Alumni Office serves as a campus headquarters for alumni with hundreds visiting it each year. The office serves as an information center for all alumni by keeping on permanent file more than 27,000 names with up-to-date addresses and pertinent information about graduates and former students. Thousands of requests are answered each year. IVlany alumni serve the University by being on committees or boards. Among key assignments in which alumni partici- pate on behalf of all alumni are the University Administrative Council, Presi- dential Committees, Athletic Corpora- tion Board, Campus Activities Center Board of Directors, Scholarship Commit- tees and the Library Associates. Members of the Alumni Association keep in touch with each other through the alumni publications. Each year they receive four issues of the Alumni Maga- zine which features articles about WSU and its students, plus a section devoted to news items about alumni. The Alumni Association also pub- lishes a quartetly newspaper, Wichita State News, which helps keep alumni up to date on what's happening on campus WSU alumni clubs are active in many cities across the country. In addi- tion, alumni leadership groups represent- ing chemistry, business and other disci- plines are working for enrichment of the University. Special events in addition to Alumni Spring Reunion and Homecoming are scheduled throughout the year by the Alumni Association to maintain contin- uous contact between the University and its alumni. The Alumni Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed on an alumnus of the University, is presented by the Association at the annual Spring Reunion. The award is given in recogni- tion of outstanding service to society, to the community and to the University. Recognition Awards are given to alumni or friends of the University for their service to the Alumni Association or the University. All graduates of WSU and former students who have had a minimum of 15 accredited hours of study are eligible for membership in the Association. Alumni are proud of their alma mater. Through their memberships in the Association and their support of the Alumni Annual Fund, they are investing in the future of WSU. A WSU graduate is one of the two outstanding Americans selected to receive the 1974 Distinguished Alumnus Award of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. Leslie H. Warner, chairman and chief executive officer of the General Telephone and Electronics Corporation and a 1935 graduate of WSU, was pre- sented the award Friday, November 15, at the association's annual meeting at Bal Harbour, Florida. The other recipient of the award was novelist James A. Michener, author of Hawaii, Kent State, The Source and the Pulitzer prize winning Tales of the South Pacific. Recipients of the annual awards are selected for their contributions to the quality of American life. Achievements in public service, technological advance- ment, the arts, and in enhancing social and cultural awareness are recognized by state colleges and universities as the ulti- mate purpose and goal of the education- al opportunity they provide. The alum- nus awards are a tribute to the individ- uals who have fulfilled this purpose. Dr. Clark D. Ahlberg, President of WSU, was in Bal Harbour to present Warner to delegates attending the national association's annual banquet. ln presenting the award to Warner, Dr. Albert N. Whiting, president of North Central University of Durham and presi- dent of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, said Warner is being recognized as a leading industrialist of both national and inter- national scope, as well as a person whose success has contributed marked- ly to the advancement of American life. Warner, who went to work full-time as a trainee in the American Telegraph and Telephone long distance test room in Wichita when he graduated from high school in 1929, continued to work full- time at the telephone company while he attended WSU. He graduated magna cum laude with degrees in engineering and business administration in 1935 and won a fellowship to the Harvard Business School where he received his master's degree in business administration in 1937. After completing his degree he join- ed the Automatic Electric Company in Chicago, a communications equipment manufacturing subsidiary which merged into General Telephone in 1955. In June 1956, he was elected exec- utive vice president of manufacturing of General Telephone which was renamed General Telephone and Electronics Cor- poration in 1959 when Sylvania Electric Products lnc. was merged into General Telephone. Warner was elected president of the corporation in 1961 and became chief executive officer in 1966. General Telephone and Electronics Corporation is currently a multi-national enterprise of more than 60 communica- tions, manufacturing, research and service subsidiaries. In 1962 Warner was recognized by WSU when the Alumni Association selected him as the annual recipient of the Alumni Achievement Award, and in 1969 he was selected by the College of Business Administration as the college's executive-in-residence. On May 14, 1963, Wichita voters overwhelmingly - by a 29 to 1 margin - approved entrance of the then municipal university into the state system. It was at this time that the Board of Trustees was also established. The Board took over the assets of the Board of Regents and was put in charge of property administration. Positions on the Board are accredited by the state legislature and members serve by appointment of the Governor. The nine member Board includes: Theron S. Black Ray E. Dillon, Sr. Philip F. Farha Theodore Gore Patrick F. Kelly Lloyd W. Miller William I. Robinson William D. Tarrant Warren E. Tomlinson Other members of the board include Wayne Coulson, attorney for the Board, H.R. Reidenbaugh, Exeutive Vice Pres- ident of the Board of Trustees, Cletus J. Pottebaum, assistant secretary and Bill Wix, Student Body President. It was also during 1963 that the City of Wichita provided what amounts today to an S8 million endowment of Wichita State University. This endowment is in the form of what University officials call The Wichita Fund. It is money left over after paying debt service from an annual 1.5 mil levy. Through the years this endowment has grown to its current level. Although there is not an actual S8 million received annually, there is close to one-half million dollars available each year from the fund. This amount is similar to what interest would be drawn from an endowment fund of S8 million. H.R. Reidenbaugh, Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, administers the Wichita Fund. Recently he gave these explanations of expenditures for the current fiscal year. FACULTY IMPROVEMENT AND ENRICHMENT--S87,000. Most of the money is for travel of faculty mem- bers . . . attending conferences, partic- ularly where they have been invited to read a special paper and other travel money would not be available. The account also provides funds for 'faculty recruitment. When you want to interview someone for a deanship or a professorship, you have to get them here. CENTER FOR URBAN STUDIES-- S65,000. Money is for studies and consulting work involving urban problems, not only for the City of Wichita but also for small towns in the state. It provides funds for internships allowing students to work in city and county government. SCHOLARSHIP AND STUDENT AID--S100,0O0, This is primarily for local area youth and is for under- graduate work. URBAN FELLOWSHIPS--S29,000. Provides funds for masters in urban studies. RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC RESOURCES--S20,000. This is to fund small faculty research projects. ADULT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION--S10,000. This is the first step towards a major commitment to broaden WSU's offerings to the com- munity. BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH CENTER--S5,000. This is operated out of the College of Business and is best known for its publication of econimic indices and other business statistics available to the business com- munity. Doord of Truslzzs 132 SPECIAL LIBRARY COLLEC- TIONS--S5,000. There's never enough money for books, Reidenbaugh said. This is considered a modest investment in making acquisitions over and above the routine book purchases. CAMPUS PLANNING AND INSTITUTIONAL STUDIES--S12,000. This is set aside by the Board of Trustees to help support institutional planning under the direction of George Platt. ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR CAMPUS--S19,500. During the past year NSU finally acquired the Lansdowne property on 21st Street. We are not aggressively pursuing purchase of property within the peri- meter of the campus, but as it becomes available we will purchase, Reiden- baugh said. The University now owns almost the entire half section from 17th to 21st between Oliver and Hillside. Exceptions to this are privately owned Wheat- shocker Hall on 17th and a few properties between 17th and 18th east of Yale. CONTINGENCY--S11,066. At this point in time the Wichita Fund has provided a total of 87,725,442 to the University. The bulk of this--34,193,633 for existing indebtedness of the University of Wichita and S861,918 for retirement of PBC bonds which purchased the Crestview property--has gone for debt service. THE BALANCE, S2,669,891 over 11 years since 1964 has gone into en- richment purposes such as described above. As the years progress and bonded indebtedness and the PBC issue are paid off, more funds will become available for enrichment of the University, its students and faculty. WE FEEL WE HAVE a special responsibility in the area of adult eduaction...this is where the people are. Reidenbaugh said the average age of the student body at WSU is 26. We really are educating larger numbers of adults here...they are taking fewer hours, but there are more of them here, he said. This has always been the role of an urban institution...we are making a stronger commitment. ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOP- MENT--S72,025. These are the funds set aside to fund the operation of the Board of Trustees. 1 .353 '--' M TP C Q..

During these past years the College of Engineering has worked toward the fulfillment of five principal objectives: to provide a modern rigorous technical education coupled with a general liberal education to undergraduate students, to provide an advanced and specialized ed- ucation to graduate students, to provide opportunity for continuing education for adults, to provide assistance and support to regional agencies in coping with problems in which the college has competence, and to stimulate research and scholarly activities at all levels of education. 134 Within the framework of these ob- jectives, the College of Engineering is dedicated to the primary goal of provid- ing a stimulating educational experience for both the student who wishes to be involved with the industrial or scientific community and the student who chooses to continue his education in more specialized areas. The college hopes to allow each student to develop his potential to a maximum, and by doing so, it strives to actively instill in the student a discipline of self-learning so that he may mature and grow in his professional endeavor in an orderly manner during his career. The College of Engineering is orga- nized into four departments, each spe- cializing in a portion of the diverse nature of engineering subject material. These departments senfe as the organiza- tional unit with a coherent body of assembled faculty whose two primary responsibilities are teaching and research. The departments in the college continue to attract and retain outstanding faculty, the source of reassuring strength for its future development. Of the thirty five members of the engineering faculty, twenty eight now hold PhD degrees, with additional faculty members com- pleting their PhD requirements during the academic year. The College of Engineering has experienced an increase in its enrollment since the fall of 1973. During the 1974-75 academic year the enrollment totaled 548 students in the undergrad- uate program with an additional 134 involved in graduate work. Before the college began experiencing an increase in its enrollment, the problems, according to Dean Jakowatz, were due to the economic engineering extent the being the problems. engineering climate, the public image of opportunities, and to some public image of technology cause of our societal The potential of the WSU program to cope with these problems has apparently been reasserted as the climb in enrollment would indi- cate . Research being carried out in the College of Engineering to aid the hand- icapped is particularly significant to Dean Jakowatz. Working primarily with the cerebral palsied the research is designed to outfit the handicapped worker with prosthetic devices that will enable him to join the work force. By modifying the handicapped workers physical capabilities mechanically, the worker can often compete effectively with the non-handicapped worker. Dean Jakowatz forsees no major changes in the engineering curriculum although he feels that new doctorate programs in the engineering field are essential. He believes that students are more enthusiastic now in their scholarly pursuits and supports them in their higher potential for achieving excel- lence. An example of that attitude is portrayed in the student Engineering Council. The council is made up of students who serve as the representatives for the engineering student body. They have initiated a number of programs that provide the students with a wide range of additional activities, including a tutorial program, a teacher evaluation and an engineering student newspaper entitled the Shocker Shamrock. The major problem facing the Col- lege of Engineering is the lack of needed research and laboratory facilities. After completion of the Engineering Labora- tory Complex in 1976, the college will have access to the necessary facilities to further develop their objectives. Enqinzzrinq Loborolory Perhaps the single most exciting item in the College of Engineering is the new Engineering Laboratory Complex to be completed in the summer of 1976. Based on five years of planning, the complex will enable the College of Engineering to give its students an in- novative experience in laboratory methods of instruction and provide its staff with research facilities for explor- ing new horizons of knowledge. With increased research facilities, the college can also expand its services to the state and local community. The 33,750,000 complex, a three- story and basement structure, will incor- porate space for each of the four depart- ments now housed in the College of Engineering. The Aeronautical Engineer- ing Department will have laboratories for basic aerodynamics lincluding wind tunnelsl, solid mechanics structures, propulsion and materials. The Electrical Complzx Engineering Department will have laboratories for digital and analog computers, circuits and rotating machinery, information processing, control systems, transmission lines and a satellite tracking station. The Industrial Engineering Department will provide laboratories for manufacturing, human factors, operations research and engineering shops, while the Mechanical Engineering Department will have laboratories for heat transfer, instrumen- tation, thermal science and mechanical design. In addition to the specialized laboratories, the complex will provide staff office space, graduate assistant office space, classrooms and a large lecture facility. An important feature of the new building will be the flexibility for accommodating future electrical interconnection among laboratories. Provisions are being made for cable interconnection to most of the lab- oratories so that television monitors can be installed and access to computer terminals can be achieved. A great deal of attention has also been given to providing easy access to each of the laboratories, a feat that has been achieved by utilizing a double loaded corridor with the laboratories contained in the central portion and office and other classrooms and service space at the periphery. The architects, Schaefer, Schirmer and Associates, have utilized some current structures in their design, having laboratories for aerodynamics and structures that encompass the existing Walter H. Beech wind tunnel. The Engineering Shop and other high bay areas will join the interconnection of the main laboratory and the wind tunnel facility. 135 Enqinzzrinq Rzszorch Project Despite the many years of spe- cialized training, therapy, man-hours and money that have been expended in developing the maximum potential of the severely physically handicapped individual, the handicapped person still remains unable, in most cases, to per- form productively in the mainstream of the nation's working society. This individual frequently has sat at home or in a state institution for virtually a whole lifetime. Such conditions raise social-humanitarian and economic ques- tions of considerable magnitude. The social-humanitarian problems are obvious. The handicapped individual has been deprived of the possibilities of personal self-development that the non- handicapped person can obtain in accordance with the philosophy of our American society. Also, in a very real sense, the remainder of society is the loser because of the isolation of the handicapped person and the denial of interpersonal relationships. From an economic standpoint it costs about S500,000 to sustain the dependent handicapped person through- out his lifetime, with little return to taxpayers and with minimal happiness and satisfaction to the handicapped individual. These conditions have led to the initiation of a research project in the College of Engineering at Wichita State University, the purpose of which is to develop comprehensive competitive employment services for the physically handicapped. The project is currently completing its second year of funded support at a total support level of about S135,000. ln brief, the overall objectives of this project both supplement and invert, in a way, the traditional approach to rehabilitation of the handicapped individual, which is to modify his behavior through therapy in such a way that he can perform certain tasks. Although these modifications often improve the individual's abilities to perform those activities necessary for daily living, they are usually insufficient for preparing the handicapped individual for competitive employment. This pro- ject, instead of attempting to fit the individual to a task proposes to develop a methodology for determining modifications of the hardware and methods of a job so that its modified 136 requirements will fall within the range of the physical capabilities still retained by the handicapped worker. Thus it takes the positive approach of inves- tigating the remaining capabilities of the handicapped worker and fitting the task or job to these capabilities. The project is designed in five phases. The first, or design, phase was aimed at development of an evaluation system that provides profiles of client capabilities and job requirements so that, upon comparison of the two profiles, job target areas can be iden- tified that can be performed, with ap- propriate modifications, by the handi- capped client. ln order to obtain the measure of a client's capabilities, a series of devices has been developed that tests an individ- ual's abilities to perform at industrially related tasks. First among these is a pantograph type -device, which provides a graphic representation of the client's ability to reach. That is, it offers a two-dimensional display of the envelope of maximum reach in any of three planes--horizontal, vertical parallel to body midline and vertical perpendicular to body midline. This information has a tvvo-fold value--first, in reference to additional testing, and second, in regard to machine control or task component positions relative to the worker. Specif- ically, if a control or task component falls outside the range of a worker's reach capabilities, that control or component must obviously be modified to bring it within his range. At present, this unit is tied in with a minicomputer to develop the graphic display, and it can be adapted at a later date for a direct pen-writing display. Many facilities do not have computers, and the goal is to make all hardware to be usable by any plant, rehabilitation or training center, or any other facility. A second series of testing devices is comprised of a number of modules. Each module can be placed in one of ten positions in a framework, which can itself be oriented horizontally or ver- tically in relation to the client. The modules will provide measures of such activities as the operation of cranks, hand wheels, levers, hand knobs and switches. The measure will give an indication of the individual's capabilities with respect to force, rate and accuracy of operation of these controls. A third series of tests measures the handicapped individual's capabilities in small assembly operations. After examin- ing a multiplicity of assembly operations carried on in local industries, a sequence of generalized tasks has been chosen that simulates broad categories of these assembly operations. Classical industrial engineering techniques have been employed to develop time standards ap- plicable to the non-handicapped worker performing these tasks. On the basis of these standards, a rating can be determined that indicates the handi- capped client's capability as a percentage of the standard time. By means of the data these tests provide, a client capability profile can be established. This profile, when compared with a profile of the require- ments of a given job determined by standard industrial engineering tech- niques, will indicate appropriate job targets for a given client and job modifications that are necessary in order to bring the job requirements within the range of the client's capabilities. The second phase of the project, which began in Nlay, 1973, is directed primarily toward the research and development of a catalog of method and machine modifications. In addition, several handicapped clients will be evaluated and trained for employment, and placement will be attempted in on- going industrial jobs. The remaining three phases will be concerned primarily with the develop- ment of a delivery system, that is, the integration of the R 84 D technology with innovative and validated training for a job and also for other skills neces- sary to sustain the individual within the community le.g., social skills, work habits, community integration and subsistence skillsl. Finally, the delivery system must be concerned with job placement. Centre Industries in Sydney, Australia, is currently manufacturing electronic components for tele- communication systems produced by General Electric, General Telephone and the Australian government. This plant employs approximately 650 non- handicapped workers and 250 cerebral palsied and other disabled workers. All workers are paid on the same piecework rates. ln the Centre Industries system, most of the handicapped workers are producing at rates equal to and, in a few cases, greater than their non- handicapped co-workers. This accom- plishment has been made posslble through appropriate job modifications on the basis of a worker's remaining physical capabilities. lt is the goal of this research project to prepare the physically handicapped to obtain similar competitive employment in industry.

The Aeronautical Engineering cur- riculum at Wichita State University offers its 65 students an opportunity to develop a strong fundamental knowledge of mathematics, physics and the engineering sciences and allows them to acquire competence in professional fields such as aerodynamics, flight and orbital mechanics, propulsion, control systems and structural mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principles involved in aeronautical engineering so that graduates are prepared to contrib- ute to the rapidly changing and expand- ing field, which utilizes a wide variety of engineering applications. Engineers trained in this field also may find challenging careers in other industries that make use of many advanced concepts similar to those developed in the aeronautical field.

The laws governing the individual behavior as well as behavior in the interconnection of devices is particularly stressed. Analysis and synthesis of electrical networks, or systems, is of particular concern in specialized courses. The undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering is flexible enough to allow a student to specialize in communication systems, modern control theory, computers, energy conversion, network and system theory, biomedical engineering and general electronics. Electrical Engineering students are required to have a strong interest in mathematics and physics. As part of the curriculum, students in their senior year are required to prepare a senior project of their own choosing under the super- vision of a faculty member. The choice of subject material is varied and represents a challenge in judgement and creativity in analysis or design. -xl if ' Industrial Enqinzzrinq Z FV'- .Nk.w'k pi I Yr 1 .

A student's program is determined by his own special interests in consultation with his advisor. A modern, well-equipped laboratory is also available to supplement classroom theory in human factors engineering, manufacturing processes, work measure- ment and factory planning. In addition, the industrial engineering department has the responsibility for teaching all engineering graphic courses. To fulfill this responsibility the department maintains modern drafting rooms and drafting facilities and is currently developing a modern sequence of engineering graphics courses oriented toward digital computer applications. ,wi Mzchonicol Enqinzzrinq Wm. D-A The Department of Mechanical Engineering is striving to educate capable mechanical engineers who will be able to respond to the future tech- nological problems. The department feels that to achieve this goal it is imperative to maintain an active staff interested in teaching, research and professional engineering endeavors. The Mechanical Engineering Depart- ment has participated in a variety of programs within the community. During the 1974-75 year such programs have involved an energy study through the cooperation of the City of Wichita. They are currently involved with a Solar Energy study in connection with Boeing. Other programs include the involvement of the National Cash Register Company and the Certain-Teed Machinery Company located in McPherson. Currently the department is anticipating no major changes. However, they are adjusting their course require- ments to meet the changing technolog- ical needs as they are able to define them. At present, the department offers approximately twenty five courses to its 130 graduates and undergraduates. 1 47 L to R: Walter Vandever Michael Wagner Bill Kennedy Brad Carr Kevin Reiboldt John Sommers David Metzger Richard Wong Pi Tou biqmo RCDME First Row L to R Richard Chisham Bill Kennedy Second Row: Ron Merrick Darrell Leis Gary Lindsted Bob Atkinson Third Row: Eugene Glover Joe Arce Walter VanDever WRH...HTMTT,M...

A waiter approaches the man and tells him that he is wanted on the private phone at the next table. He excuses himself, kisses the woman's hand in a chivalrous gesture, and walks the few steps to the phone.

Meanwhile . . a respectable-looking diesel truck representing the Sicily Arms Chicken Distributors is parked by the side of a Typical Kansas Road, complete with the customary barbed-wire fence, slightly rusted: a square-frame farm house, with weather-buffeted peeling exterior: two morose cud-chewing cows switching flies: and a squeaky windmill turning in the background. The five-o'cIock-shadowed truck driver is leaning out of the cab window, studying a wrinkled road map. Driver: lMumblingI . . .turn at Airport Avenue, south to Lincoln Street . . .east to Main Street. . . hmmm . . . and right at Burton Square to the Sicily Arms Chicken Processing Plant . . . yeh, yeh. He pulls his head inside, guns the motor, and drives back on the gravel road. He hums the Volga Boatman Song as he heads west into a Typical Rural Kansas Community. Scene IV: A Typical Rural Kansas Community Neighborhood. Huge elm trees bend intertwined branches toward the street now crammed with police cars Interested Onlookers and Uninterested Onlookers. Whitey is frozen in a pose somewhat reminiscent of a brain-damaged contortionist slobbering in the general direction of an ordinary-looking wooden frame two story house. The powerful strobe lights pick out the frightened face of a woman in curlers at one of the second story windows. She is hysterical: eyes bulging, lips trembling, as she holds onto the skinny hand of a wide-eyed, runny nosed child. A truck proclaiming United Chicken Haulers, Unltd. in gaudy red letters is parked in the driveway. A line of policemen forms in the street. Lady: l told you!

The bellowing pack finally closes in on the Sicily Arms Plant. They cease their howling and peel to a stop beside the humiliated, egg-stained, V.D. and Doodarr.

These two divisions are responsible for the instruction and education, scholarly study and inquiry, performance and practice in music and the visual arts. The College of Fine Arts is receptive to new and challenging concepts and experimental ideas to keep the arts in the forefront of comtemporary society. The College seeks ways to expand the overall concept of art in our society and serves as a laboratory for new artistic ideas, experiences and philosophies in all art media and in all areas of artistic thought and expression. Students are offered a complete spectrum of artistic endeavors, whether they are interested in professional activities, teaching careers, graduate study or increased knowledge about the arts. Students have the opportunity to explore various art forms with an open mind, thus developing their ability to changes, developments and challenges within the art world of the future. The new techniques and historical research and information necessary to achieve these ends are developed by the College. Students also are urged by the College to be active in the arts of the present time. The College further seeks to make the arts an integral part of the lives of all students and to expand the role of the arts in the many communitiesthat it serves. The presence of many cultural facilities within the city supports the fact that Wichita has always generated an interest in the fine arts, states Gordon Terwilliger, Dean of the College of Fine Arts.

This unique situation has been aided by the presence of Wichita State University. Students and faculty of the University are an important element of the high quality of interest, Tervvilliger explains. Pursuit of the fine arts at the University has been greatly enhanced by the development of the new McKnight Arts Center and the Dureksen Fine Arts Center. The art building, according to Terwilliger, is the only structure in the state designed and constructed for the use in instruction of art. The Duerksen Fine Arts Center, built in 1954, has proved to be essential in the instruction of music. 'iss S.. r' ' 3, ai' Q5 ei F . - -1 - s r o s F? g ., , .1 g 4 if ., r' .Q . ff' Dean Terwilliger stresses the importance of professionalism in the college. As an example, he cites the Summer Theatre, Inc. The organization of the Summer Theatre incorporates both WSU students, as well as other community members. The Theatre was designed to be a professional troupe in which it maintains a core of actors who are paid to participate in each presentation. Dean Terwilliger feels that students have changed very little in his years of association with Wichita State University. Although some variation occurred in student's interests, he states that the basic disciplines required of serious students in the area have ramained relatively constant. ,,a-0' .-40 The signs that were placed at each wing of the McKnight Art Center are the work of the well-known stone cutter, Father Edward Catich. A professor of calligraphy, the art and science of lettering, at St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa, Catich is also a permanent consultant for the Los Angeles Museum and is known through- out the United States and Europe as an expert at cutting letters in stone. The signs, measuring three feet by one foot, are of black slate with gold lettering. Each cost approximately 3185. According to George Platt, director of the Wichita State University Office of Planning, the signs' design will be considered the standard for all WSU buildings. Born in Nlontana, Catich first became interested in letters at the age of 12 when he was placed in an orphanage. There he learned sign painting and music. In the 1920's, after graduation from high school, Catich moved to Chicago and became a sign painter. To sup- plement his income, he played trombone in jazz groups around Chicago. After training at the Chicago Art Institute, Catrich went to Rome in 1935 to pursue his inclination toward the Catholic priesthood. While studying in Rome, he was able to examine classical Roman letters in inscriptions cut into the walls of the Roman Catacombs. Upon finishing his studies, he returned to the United States and settled at St. Ambrose College where he now teaches. He is the author of two books, Trojan Inscription in Home and The Origin of the Serif, both considered definitive works in the field of callig- raphy. DIVI6lON of HRT The Division of Art of the College of Fine Arts has four departments: art education, art history, graphic design and studio arts-with its four areas of drawing-painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture. The department's faculty members pride themselves on their pro- fessional attainment as productive re- searchers and creative and exhibiting art- ists. The departments offer professional courses designed to train and educate art students who are planning careers in the arts and to allow students in other col- leges to gain an understanding and appreciation of art. Students with an interest in art find unusual and distinctive opportunities for professional training at Wichita State University. The Division of Art resides in the recently completed lVlcKnight Art Center. This complex includes studios, classrooms and the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art, which features traveling exhibits of such diverse artists as Yousuf Karsh, Rembrandt Harmensz Van Rijn and Kathe Kollwitz. The museum also features the Wichita State Permanent Collection. The design of the center is innovative and has called national atten- tion to the campus. Some measure of the influence of the Division of Art may be seen in the sizeable collection of art works throughout the campus. The Division of Art manages four collections of paintings, drawings and prints. To date the art division collec- tion includes works by Albers, Friedlander, Gottleib, Levine, Piza, Roualt, Trova as well as those by graduate and undergraduate students. The University collection of American prints and drawings, to which acquisi- tions are added every year, contains a wide range of works of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including those of Calder, Cassatt, Lichtenstein, Motherwell, Reinhart, Solan, Whistler and many others. In addition, the Vermillion Collec- tion includes works by Krushenick, Rayo, Summers, Tobey and Vasarely. The Bloomfield Collection contains an important group of paintings from such masters as Beechy, Cole and Lely and examples from the school of Hubert Robert and Jacob Van Ruisdail. K .

Such activities are peculiarly human ones, and it is this quality of human life and human value that is the special concern of the profession. The program of the Department of Art Education is designed to provide the student with educational and artistic competencies necessary to meet the certification requirements for teaching art in the public schools in the state of Kansas. The program also enables graduates to seek teaching positions nationally and to meet competitive standards for advanced study in art education. Art education students take a variety of courses in studio arts and art history in addition to specific courses in art curriculum preparation and art education methods. The student is also required to complete a prescribed course of study in the College of Education, which includes student practice teaching. ln addition to the programs for the art education major, the department teaches a fundamentals of art course for the elementary education major, which serves as an introduction to the language of the visual arts. An experienced faculty is complemented by modern facilities for laboratory teaching and the preparation of visual demonstration materials. The University library houses an extensive collection of literature related to this field. The Department of Art Education offers a Bachelor of Art Education and a Master of Arts degree for those who wish to pursue a career in public school art teaching, supervision, college teach- ing or art research. me-aa... , , . ., .A W, af f' ..,. - -I , , , ' V , ,W Flrl I-lislory The history of art is a study of art objects--paintings, statues, architectural structures, gardens, fountains, pottery decorations. Different periods and dif- ferent regions of the world, as well as individual artists, have produced unique styles of artistic expression. Art objects, put to a variety of uses, reveals the changing concerns and interests of man- kind. The study of these developments is the study of art history. The Department of Art History offers courses in three major areas of Western art: the art of the ancient world, the art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and the art of modern times. Specialists in these periods present visually illustrated lectures and conduct seminars. The material for instruction is drawn from the depart- ment's library of 70,000 slides, sup- plemented by the University library's 12 O00 volumes on art. The facilities for instruction are new and include a special theater lecture room. The Department of Art History offers an undergraduate major and a graduate emphasis in art history. Career opportunities exist in museum admin- istration, museum teaching, museum curatorship and gallery management. University and junior college teaching, archaeological scholarship and modern journalistic criticism are additional vocational areas, and they usually require advanced study. Students who are interested in the humanities and who at the same time find pleasure in those things that man makes for the visual senses are partic- ularly suited to the study of art history. .r- 'P'-...W4 ,.........- AL, Graphic Dzsiqn Design like art, is a human response to human needs. Historically, it reflects both individual interpretations, conditioned by changing environments and the restraints of materials and technologies of the time. The graphic designer is an artist, concerned with the creation planning and the execution of visual concepts through the mass media of print, television and film. The curriculum offered by the Department of Graphic Design enables the student to explore the nature of the communication process as well as to J-A amy? M x fr as develop specific creative and media skills. Courses in graphic design and illustration are supplemented by spe- cialized offerings in typography, photo- graphy film, television, drawing and design. Emphasis is placed on agency! studio procedures and professional ap- proaches to problem solving. Students are prepared for careers in advertising, graphic design, illustration and audio- visual communication. The department is staffed by prac- ticing designers, who have been selected for their professional achievement and commitment to the- education of the young designer. A new facility for instruction includes a photographic laboratory, typographic-print studio, materials workshop and a television studio. The urban location of Wichita State provides the student with an excellent opportunity to develop profes- sional association in the design com- munity. Graphic design students at Wichita State may take programs leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts and the Master of Arts. k ,.fl'l'w 471' l a.'.'45fY I .,-vlygf X ,MV , in ,, biud o F-iris it A college art student expects good studio facilities and an environment sympathetic to the needs of the creative personality. Working within such an environment, young artists can expand their sense of awareness and become involved with and responsible to their creative output. That is the aim of an education in the studio arts at Wichita State University. The Department of Studio Arts offers courses in painting and drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and ceramics with majors available in each of these areas. Facilities in the new lVlcKnight Art Center and the recently remodeled Henrion annex include painting and drawing studios, intaglio and lithography printmaking shops, a foundry and out- door casting pit, a suitably equipped ceramics workshop and extensive exhibi- tion space. The faculty is comprised of professional, exhibiting artists, who are dedicated to helping student artists achieve their full potential. The studio courses are designed to train art majors and others interested in studio practice to gain an understanding and appreciation of art. Since students have a great deal to learn from each other, diversity is welcome in the studio arts classroom. The program is flexible so that the studio arts major may explore a full range of interests. Students in the studio arts may obtain the Bachelor of Fine Arts as well as pursue graduate study toward the Master of Fine Arts. V 173 ' 'I' O '?,-. YT I . f 'J H- . . .. - M f Q :fag Q' :vii -.

Last spring, Koerner, in his campaign for the position of SGA president, charged the Athletic Depart- ment was receiving a disproportionate share of Campus Privilege Fee money distributed by the Student Senate. The Athletic Department receives 380,000 of the approximately S300,000 which the senate allocates from CPF funds. This is the largest single non-fixed line item of the senate allocations. The committee was composed of 10 students and faculty members. Hearings began the first week in October. Koerner said that his committee wants to set aside all subjective prejudices and take an objective and scientific look at WSU's athletic pro- gram. The basic game plan was to examine what's supposed to be, then what actually is and if there's a dif- ference make recommendations based on the way athletics is handled at schools Koerner said the committee Committee to he 192 examined the structure of athletic pro- grams at other schools. Some of the specific areas that the committee investigated include the use of University facilities such as Henry Levitt Arena and Cessna Stadium, athletic staff salaries, intramurals, women's athletics, statistics on at- tendance at athletic events, and the relationship of the athletic program to part-time students. The main sources used to gain this information were primarily the administrative officials of WSU. The committee reported its findings to Senate during the latter part of the spring semester. The action that will be taken as a result of the report will be made by the 1975-76 student senate. Legal services insurance plan is being offered to WSU students for the first time during the spring semester. The plan, sponsored by the Kansas Bar Association and administered by Alliance Administrators, Inc., is the only one of its kind in the nation, according to Chris Christian, vice president of Alliance. The plan allows participating stu- dents to consult any attorney of their choice for up to S700 worth of legal assistance at a cost for the initial period, Jan. 15 through Aug. 28, of 39. Christian said that some schools have hired an attorney to represent stu- dents, for on-campus consultation during set hours. The WSU insurance plan offers the choice of any attorney at any time for legal problems ranging from divorce to drug busts to traffic tickets to civil and criminal cases. Office work, judicial and administra- tion coverage only advice and consulta- tion costs. Clarence Saunders Other plans were investigated and found lacking. Clarence Saunders chair- person for the Student Insurance Com- mittee, said that the committee found Legal Aid limits availability of lawyers. the types of problems handled, and stu- dent eligibility. Lawyer Referral, another services looked into by the committee was also found limiting in its reliance on the generosity of participating lawyers and its inability to handle all students. Saunders said that he feels that those who have had legal problems will sign up immediately while those who feel they may not need it will wait. According to Christian, the low cost of the program is based on volume and as a non-profit corporation, any surplus would result in either expanded benefits or lowered fees. This plan can also be converted after student graduation to a private plan. The free in Wichita Free Univer- sity refers to the freedom to control what and how you learn. There are no tests, grades or credit for the WFU cIasses. lWFU is actually a classless universityl. Most classes are offered free of charge, but in a few, a minimal fee is charged by the instructor for materials and time spent on the class. Free U is an educational service for all of the people of Wichita. lt is an opportunity for involvement in shaping courses, and expression of concern and hope that the educational process is far more significant when it aims at fulfill- ing an individual's self-realization, imagination and creativity. The choice to participate in or to avoid any of the classes is the individual's responsibility. Within the Free U there is room for persons of different ages, backgrounds and beliefs. Anyone can be a student or a teacher, regardless of age, experience, ability or resources. In most classes the relation- ship between the teacher and the stu- dents is informal and both take responsibility for the success of the class. Free U is one of the only systems where teaching must reflect the interests of the students. Rewards are internal. WFU is free because only through a ferment of ideas can we imbibe the wine of knowledge. For, in reality, are not all of us, in one way or another, both teachers and students?

Wix is president of the Student Government Association lSGAl, the highest post voted on by the students at Wichita State. Wix, a slightly built, soft-spoken political science major with shoulder length blondish hair that is parted in two equally untamed parts, often inter- rupts a perfectly serious conversation with spontaneous bursts of laughter. lt comes as part of his job, which can only be described as a curious mix of frustration, strategy and wry humor. Wix spearheads a trio of executive-type officers who watch over a budget of some S43,000, organize regular entangle- ments with the 39 members of the Student Senate every Tuesday night, and formulate the ideas that will bring about change. l'm always interested in changing things, Wix says as a rationale for his involvement in student government. About this, Wix is evidently serious. After becoming intrigued by the work- ings of youth council at North High School, the native Wichitan carefully picked his way through the channels of student government at WSU. He served his first two years on the Student Senate and soon became a popular and pursuasive senator. A skilled parliamentarian, Wix served his junior year as chairperson of the Senate. New students recognized him as an orientation leader. He was selected as the first campus director for Associated Students of Kansas lASKl, the first student lobby in Kansas. In the spring of 1974, Wix organized the United Students Party and won a hand- some victory over a single opponent, Jon Koerner and the Campus Privilege Fee Party. Wix believes that student govern- ment this year has been one of the most active in recent years. A prepaid legal insurance plan was offered for the first time to students. Approximately 350 students responded. The Operations Committee under Vice President Debbie Haynes completed the onerous task of updating and revising statutes. The most serious changes, however, were wrought by referendum. ln lVlarch, students voted to increase student fees for women's athletics by 10 cents per credit hour. At the same time, students favored increasing ticket prices for foot- ball and basketball to S2 a game instead of raising the current level of student funding for men's intercollegiate athletics. Also, students turned down a request by the Sunflower for an increase in student fee funding to continue pub- lishing three issues a week--a vote which surprised and disappointed Wix. Finally, three out of four students voted against paying Watergate figure John Dean 33,500 of student funds to speak at WSU, although the outcome did not affect Dean's appearance or his fee. Dill Wix Assessing the result of the referen- dum, Wix is generally satisfied. l'm glad the students recognized the need to support women's athletics, and l agree that on athletic funding, those who go must be the ones to pay. Wix says, however, he would work to have another referendum on the Sunflower, so that it could continue publishing three issues a week. Wix bemoans the fact that more students do not involve themselves in helping change the institution they attend. There are student positions on nearly every University committee, he says. l think the administration has tried really hard to solve student prob- lems. They recognize that it is students who make an institution what it is. Of course, much of the work that student government does is not recog- nized by students, Wix shrugs. You always got to expect that I guess. Outside of Student Government, Wix feels most comfortable in academe, although his plans after graduation are unclear. l'm tired. After a year of SGA president, l'm not going into politics of any kind, he declares. l like the idea of becoming a pro- fessional student. There is so much more l'd like to know. But how shall we remember Bill Wix and the changes he brought to students at Wichita State? That question elicits another laugh. l'Il leave it up to you. f l ---- . ----- . -.-:2:2:2:I:2:4Z5!R-:-:-:-:-:-i!5!5!5:1:1:1115:1:1:f:1:1:2:1:1'2'2' 'I'15:I:2:2:I:1:I:155:212121515151513.3.1.5.5.5.:.:.:.:.:.:.g.3:::' ''-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-:-:-,-.'.-.-.-.'.-.:.g.5.:.:.:.5 53:3:::5:3:::3:3:5:::::g:g:3:3:g:g:g:5 - ' - - - - - - - - ' - -.-.-:23515:E:S:E:E:E:E:E:S:E:i:E:EEE:g.g. - - - ' - ' S5SEE5EEEEEEESEEE.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'i.g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....,...-., . 9 A ''25252E25S52f25S3E3Sgf:2:Q: '1 2:15:25 :-:-:-:-:':g: :5:5g:5:3:g: V 'DY - 0.5 1. ff, 1 22 sgs:z:' w x-za , f ..... .- '51ErE3S5E5E5E3E3E ' - .. ..,.... .-.- : :-- .....sSsEs2zSefsSs.. .:..- .,.:z:s..

ASOPUVA I-lzolth Rzlotzd Professions The College of Health Related Profes- sions was established in 1970. Twelve programs of study are presently offered, with six leading to the Bachelor of Science degree: nursing, medical tech- nology, physical therapy, health care administration, dental hygiene and medical record administration. In addition, associate programs are awarded in dental hygiene, respiration therapy and cytotechnology. Students in the nurse clinician, physician's assistant and emergency medical training programs receive academic credit, and a certificate of completion is awarded to them. During the 1974-75 academic year, the Dean of the College of Health Related Professions, Carmen Ness wants to improve the quality of education by working with the faculty of his college. He sees the addition of several key positions to be essential for the develop- ment of the college. Dean Ness looks forward to establish- ing Wichita State's College of Health Related Professions as a program which is recognized both nationally and inter- nationally. The potential of the program already exists, along with the support of the local institutions and the University. Dean Ness feels that there is no reason why the College of Health Related Pro- fessions should not have the reputation of providing quality programs for its students. The development of joint programs between the College of Health Related Professions and the Departments of Sociology and Psychology could be beneficial to both his college and the University as a whole, states Ness. One such program that has been discussed includes a study in the areas of geriatrics lthe study of old agel, addiction and drug abuse, which would encompass both treatment and counseling. 197 In January, 1974, the College of Health Related Professions in cooperation with the Wichita State University Branch of Kansas University School of Medicine, initiated a new course entitled Basic Emergency Medical Care Training, HP110. This course carries four hours of academic credit and successful completion will meet the education prerequisites for taking the National Registry Examination for Emergency Medical Technicians. ln addition, graduates receive protection under Kansas' Good Samaritan Law. Besides classroom instruction, students receive training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bandaging and splinting, and other emergency care procedures. Students also spend an additional ten hours of in-hospital observation in such areas as the emergency room, surgery, critical care units and the obstetrics and psychiatric departments. Presently, the Department of Community Health Education in the College of Health Related Professions is working on an advanced course of study in Emergency Medical Training to be implemented sometime in early 1975. Course titles are not available at this time although approximately 35 hours of academic credit will be granted to graduates, The didactic portion will be approximately four months. An additional 240 clock hours will be spent in clinical rotation in local hospitals. Students will spend the final ten weeks assigned to a hospital emergency room with an ambulance on stand-by. Graduates will then be certified as mobile intensive care technicians. Specifically, the course covers details of anatomy and physiologyfpatho- physiology, emergency care procedures, cardiology, pharmacology, telemetryfcommunications and sufficient clinical and operational training for the student to accurately diagnose a patient's condition and under physician's orders perform the following procedures as appropriate: conduct a physical examination including auscultation of heart and lungs, prepare and administer medications via l.V., l.C,, l.M. and S.C.p perform endotracheal and esophageal intubationp interpret, record and telemeter EKGS: defibrillate. Future plans will include a career lattice structure to further one's knowledge in Emergency Medical Training or any other health related profession. basic Emzrqzncy Corz Troininq Program .ff A as . ww x 1 Qguix 'Q , ' ls. itil E- W Wax Q1 4 vp 'I K ui NL 8 G X ,, F an Jes x ,ir-2,,1'q M 1 A ' - 1 M? :Af ' A .

The first three years of the medical technology curriculum are designed to provide a broadly based background in chemistry and the bio- logical sciences. The fourth academic year- 12 months in length - is spent in a combined tutorial-didactic experience in an affiliated, approved school of med- ical technology. Upon the successful completion of the academic work and directed clinical laboratory experience, the student is granted a BS degree in medical technology and is eligible to take the qualifying examination of the Registry of Medical Technologists A9 1. T. 1 i .' The curriculum of the cytotechnol- ogy department is designed for men and women who wish to become profes- sional cytotechnologists and work with pathologists in the detection of malig- nancy, or cancer cells, in various body fluids or in the identification of changes in cast-off body cells. The preprofes- sional part of the program includes the University's general education require- ments and certain science courses that serve as prerequisites for the clinical year. The professional part of the program is spent in an approved hospital under the supervision of a specially trained pathologist and includes formal lectures and laboratory experience for which the student receives 30 credit hours. Upon completion of the clinical experience, the student is eligible to take the registry examination in cyto- technology to qualify for certification as a registered cytotechnologist.

The health care administration program is designed to prepare the student as a qualified health care administrator in one of the selected areas, Upon satisfactory comple- tion of the courses, as outlined, plus eight weeks lone summerl of practicum in a selected area, the student will receive the BS degree. 4 Medical Records The baccalaureate program is design- ed to prepare administrators for medical records departments. After completing a three-year preprofessional sequence at Wichita State University, a student must transfer to the Department of Medical Record Administration at the University of Kansas Medical Center to complete the professional sequence. The profes- sional sequence includes directed practice and clinical application which may be taken at hospitals or other health institutions that are officially affiliated with either the University of Kansas Medical Center or Wichita State and that are approved by the American Medical Record Association. After completing these requirements, the student receives the BS degree in medical record administration from Wichita State University and is eligible to become registered by successfully completing the registration examination given by the American Medical Record Administration.

The wreath was placed at the base of the memorial located on Hillside north of 17th Street, by President Ahlberg. The crash was one of the most tragic incidents college sports has ever witnessed. Of the forty persons aboard the Martin 404 aircraft, 29 lost their lives, including players, coaches, univer- sity officials and fans of Wichita State University. The service that many students, faculty and administrators witnessed October 2 has been repeated each year since the crash. Football Mzmonol Rs. Nw .FP -fav -- .

Ulrich Museum of Art during the dedication ceremonies held Satur- day, December 7. Ulrich, a retired businessman from Hyde Park, New York, has given WSU over 300 paintings for the new museum, including the largest and most complete collection of the work of American artist Frederick J. Waugh. The Ulrich gift of more than 300 paintings is valued at about S1 million. He has also given a substantial trust to support the collection, as well. The gift gives the University some of the best of Waugh's work. Waugh is considered by many experts to have been the foremost seascape painter of all time. He won the Most Popular Prize in the annual Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh from 1934 through 1935. The Carnegie Exhibition was the major exhibition for U.S. artists in the 1930's and all major American artists exhibited. Dr. Martin Bush, who as Vice President for Academic Development has been responsible for acquiring and caring for the University Art Collection, said the Ulrich gift will give the University Collection a breadth it would have been difficult to achieve otherwise. Although we have already built a collection of more than 2,000 items, Bush stated, this gift substantially increased our art resources. ' 223 4 Seminars in female sexuality, women and credit, and in keeping your birth name were several of the events that occurred during Women's Week at Wichita State University. Women's Week, sponsored by AWARE, Associated Women for Action, Resources and Education, a student organization at WSU, was held from lVlonday, December 4 through Friday, December 6. Highlights of the work included a women's poetry festival on Friday evening along with an art show, Creative Woman, which was on exhibit 'the entire week at both the Wichita Public Library and in McFarland Gallery in the Campus Activities Center. The art show featured a work in a variety of media from graphics to Women's Wzzk photography created by local women artists. The Women's Poetry Festival featured poets such as Lisel Mueller of Lake Forest, lllinois, and Susanne Juhazs of Boulder, Colorado. Also read- ing were local poets Nlarty Nlurphy, Dorothy Walters, Jeanine Hathaway, Lila Arnold and Carol Konek. Both the art show and the poetry reading were partially funded with a grant from the Kansas Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. A seminar on Female Sexuality, was held on Wednesday in the Campus Activities Center. On Friday, two films were shown, Taking Our Bodies Back: The Women's Health lVIovement and Rape: A Female Crisis. Outstanding student and faculty women at Wichita State University were honored by AWARE at the annual Women's Week Banquet that was held Thursday evening. Wichita business- woman, Olive Garvey was featured as the guest speaker for the banquet. s iff? Vzfzronk Fldminislrofion ff! The Office of Veterans Affairs was organized on the campus of Wichita State University under the Cranston Amendment which provides funding for an organization which is to be of assist- ance to veterans. The office is housed in the CAC, on the second floor. While the staff is composed of veterans serving in a number of capacities, ranging from full-time professional employees to include volunteers, some working part- time, as well as those on the VA work- study program, the office provides a number of services available to the veteran-student. The Veterans Administration cur- rently has a work-study program under which a full-time veteran student can receive advance pay in exchange for labor of various types delivered at a later date. The Office of Veterans Affairs has arranged, through the business office at WSU, a system by which veterans attending WSU may pay tuition in installments rather than in a lump sum. A similar arrangement with the book- store makes it possible to defer the initial cost of books and supplies. Currently, the cost of maintaining children in the University pre-school is prohibitive for the majority of students. The veterans office provides assistance depending on the number of children in the family and monthly income. The VA has a tutorial program which keeps on file a list of tutors in almost every field. These tutors have already been approved by the VA and accredited by the University. In the area of counseling, the Office of Veterans Affairs realizes that the veteran student has some very special problems that no one else understands. Although there are plenty of counselors around the University, the VA office staff includes one full-time counselor and several part-time people that are more attuned to the veteran's problems because they are veterans themselves. The main objective of the VA is to provide an individual service to the veteran student in what ever capacity is necessary. With 2,000 veterans on campus, the largest percentage of veterans at any university in Kansas, the Office of Veterans Affairs is anxious for all veteran students to take advantage of its many services. 225 There are many things that make an organization function properly. Such functions are too numerous to elaborate on at one time. Webster defines an organization as: any undefined, consol- idated group of elements, especially a group of persons organized for some specific purpose. From a definitional point Project TOGETHER is no dif- ferent from any other organization that functions in a proper manner. Project TOGETHER is a program designed for students at WSU. They provide comprehensive, intensive and flexible student services plus special tutoring. Specific services that are provided include tutorial help, personal counseling, career guidance, assistance in the development of study skills, and a staff determined to help students hang in there and make it. This innovative program has grown out of an increased recognition by the University of its responsibilities for the retention and graduation of all students. Officially, Project TOGETHER is a federally funded program which operates as an integral part of Student Services at WSU. Project Toqzthzr W in 1 Parents Day, 1974, was held Satur- day, November 2. The activities were designed to allow parents to have the opportunity to visit the WSU campus and to meet with faculty, students, administrators and other parents. The schedule of events began with an informal presentation by President Clark Ahlberg, on the changing of Wichita State- its past, its present and its future. Following the presentation, the next event displayed the life of the students outside the classroom- culturally, artistically, socially and academically. These displays included information presented by Project To- gether, lnter-Residence Council, Engineering Council and the Chamber Singers. A display from the WSU Anthropology Museum was also available. Parents were also given a short tour of lVlcKnight Art Building with a student art show on exhibit. Parents were then given the portunity to meet with the dean faculty of their student's academic col- lege for an informal discussion. op- and A Parents Day luncheon was scheduled in the CAC prior to the WSU-Drake football game, held in the Cessna Stadium. Following the game, a reception at the home of President and Mrs. Ahlberg was held for the parents. The postgame reception concluded the day's events. Porzni 's Do i 5 i i -Q K lf beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is obscenity likewise in the eye of the beholder? This is no idle question for WSU in light of the resolution passed by Student Senate at the Tuesday, Nov' ember 22 meeting supporting a seminar on the legal definition of obscenity in order to avoid future embarrassing situations like the film cancellation that occurred during the latter part of the fall semester. The opinion of legal authorities contacted by the Sunflower indicate it may prove impossible to find a definition which would indicate beforehand whether a film will be considered obscene in court. Indeed, if the University wishes to be absolutely certain of compliance with state ob- scenity laws, it may have to prohibit not only films such as The Green Berets and The Wild Bunch, containing explicit representation of violence. According to the Washburn Law Journal, Winter of 1973, determining what is obscene calls for the viewers subjective evaluation. Learned definitions of obscenity vary so greatly in terms of application that there is no general definition. However, Assistant Professor John E. Stanga, political science, was able to provide the criteria for obscenity given by the most recent Supreme Court rulings. According to Stanga, the Court has given three criteria, each of which must be satisfied for a film to be judged legally obscene. 1l Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that the work, taken as whole appeals to purient interests in sex. 2l Whether the work depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual conduct specifically prohibited by the relevant state law. 3l Whether the work, as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Obviously, these criteria are very general, and certain key phrases, require more explicit definition such as average person, taken as a whole, patently offensive, and contemporary standard. The court has attempted to define average person in the negative sense, as someone who is not a sexual deviant, a homosexual, a child, etc. . Stanga said. As to 'patently offensive sexual acts,' the Court has said that could include any 'ultimate sexual act, nor- mal, deviant, or simulated, he continued. Despite these attempts at concrete definition, the language concrete definition, the language of the criteria leaves them open to a varied interpretation and application. The definitions of obscenity are tremendously judgmental, said Bob Smith, Chairperson of the Speech Department, who has had occasion to study the obscenity laws in connection with classes he has taught on freedom of speech. The definitions are so vague and amorphous that there is no way to predict what will be ruled obscene until it comes to court, he said. One area of the criteria over which there has been a great deal of controversy is the contemporary com- munity standards clause, which the Court has made relevant only since its latest 1973 ruling. Some have contended the Erotic Film Festival would not have been ruled illegal since it was not ob- scene in terms of the standards of the University community. According to Stanga, the most recent court rulings have defined community standards as those of the jury. However, in the incident on campus, you could argue that the standards of the University com- munity are relevant. The standard applied is not automatic, Stanga said. The area of community standards is a very murky one. A person does not know if material is obscene until he is prosecuted, he added. District Attorney Keith Sanborn offered another definition of what is meant by community standards. The standards of the University would not be applicable because the population of the University is on the average more sophisticated and knowledgeable than the average community, Sanborn remarked. Sanborn also commented that the state obscenity statute is essentially the same as the Supreme Court criteria set down prior to 1973. There is one area, however, where the state statute goes beyond the Court's standards. Section 2-a of Statute 21-4301 calls obscene any material appealing to purient - interest in nudity, sex, excretion, sadism, or masochism. . According to the Washburn Law Journal of Winter, 1973, The Department comes in Kansas' statu- tory inclusing of material appealing to sadistic or masochistic interests. Liberally defining such terms could result in classifying materials obscene which have no direct reference to sexual mat- ters. Perhaps various Western or war movies devoted to depicting violence and human suffering properly may be called obscene. Thus, it may turn out, if the University strictly complies with state obscenity laws, films with large doses of violence could also be banned in the future. Resorting to a guideline settled on years ago by a Supreme Court justice after wrestling with the problems of defining obscenity may be the only solution.

' -' l if 1 .' 6 4 -I-,T-gf I I u O I I O Paul Magelli, Dean of Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is certain of two important aspects of his college. The first pertains to the con- tinued need for a liberal education in a technical age, and secondly, WSU is the place to be among universities of this region. The fact that the parent institution of Wichita State University was a liberal arts college has been an asset in devel- oping a strong humanities program at WSU and has also influenced Magelli's decision to join the University administration. The role of a liberal arts education is expanding rather than diminishing in an era of increasing specialization. Dean Magelli explains that industry and business are aware of their need for creative and critical thinking. An intensified technical education does not offer that kind of experience to its students. Magelli comments that new links are being formed between the humanities and career specialties that continue to make a liberal arts educa- tion a viable program. Libzrol Flrts Changes are being made in gradua- tion requirements and academic advise- ment policies to keep Fairmount in tune with the changing needs of the student who tends to be more career oriented. Magelli emphasizes that the student body of Wichita State has undergone significant change and often refers to the new student. Statistics show that the average age of WSU students was 26 in the fall of 1973, two years older than in the previous year. In addition to this, approximately 2,500 students are veterans, 2,900 are over 30 years of age, and 2,500 are night students only. Magelli feels that students at Wichita State are more serious than those he has encountered elsewhere, in addition to being more aware of their academic needs. The fact that most WSU students work either full or part-time means that they are more perceptive towards what is taught in the classroom and are more capable of relating to the real world. Dean Magelli admits that the non- residential nature of WSU makes it more difficult to keep in touch with the stu- dents but feels that this is more than compensated for by the stimulation created by a heterogenous student body. Magelli hails WSU as the best undergraduate institution in the state, and says that the image of Hillside High is completely outdated. Still, he reports that he hears more affirmative remarks about WSU while attending regional meetings than he hears locally. He hopes to expose Wichitans to the quality of their university through various outreach programs, short courses, and continuing education. Long range planning is difficult because of the rapid changes in student interests. General goals, however, include increases in off-campus classes, both traditional and non-structured. Efforts to promote comm.unity involvement will be increased and hopefully ties between university and community will be strenghtened. Dean Magelli, an economics profes- sor, emphasizes that students are buying a product with their tuition and seems intent on insuring that they get their money's worth. Though the plaster in McKnight Art Center has barely dried, and work continues on the Engineering Lab Build- ing, construction of yet another campus building has already begun. The construction of a 33,650,000 Liberal Arts Building southwest of the Life Science Building, according to Director of Planning, George Platt was scheduled for the latter part of the spring semester. The most immediate effect for stu- dents will be the temporary closing of the parking lot on sorority row and the street running along the west and north sides of Grace Wilkie Hall. The building, which Platt said should be completed in approximately two years will comprise 78,000 gross square feet and is six stories high. The building will have 12 classrooms and one large lecture hall: labs for basic psychology, Administration of Justice, and social science research: teaching facilities for linguistics, and office and work space for Administration of Justice, Minority Studies, Sociology, the Center for Urban Studies, English, Psychology, Honors and the Dean of Liberal Arts. Platt said the building is part of a long-range plan which includes a project- ed building for the humanities adjacent to the new Liberal Arts Building. Platt said the closing of the road and parking lot was necessary to make room for construction activity, adding that the road and the south half of the parking lot would eventually be re- opened. We have to close the road because we don't want the construction site to encroach on the building site to the Northeast, Platt said. The site will, however, take up the southwest corner of the athletic fields east of the Life Science Building. 1 ' Platt said some of the pressure caused by the construction will eventually be relieved by the building of the perimeter road which will run along the west edge of the golf course from 18th to 21st. Bids on the road were opened during the last of January,and construc- tion was begun during the spring semester. The new structure will be the fifth building begun on campus in the last five years, adding to the robust physical growth of Wichita State University. C J I-IL.

The program provides a broad, multidisciplinary background for preservice and in-service students seeking an academic program to enhance their contribution in the fields of Administra- tion, Law Enforcement, Courts, Cor- rections, and Preservation. The Out- reach program has been expanded to include classes at Lindsborg, Ft. Riley, Manhattan, Johnson County, Kansas City and Levenworth. Plans are under- way to include Hays, Colby, Goodland, Dodge City and Garden City. ln addition to the formal classes the Department provides a variety of technical and programmed planning services to Kansas police and correctior agencies. The program in Administration of Justice provides a broad, multi-dis- ciplinary background for preservice and in-service students seeking course work to increase their ability as practitioners in the American system of justice. Stu- dents may specialize in an area of their particular interest, including law enforce- ment, courts or corrections. During the 1974-75 school year the Department of Administration of Justice will enroll more than 400 undergraduate majors and 170 graduate majors. The Department offers a total of 54 courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Department sponsors internship programs with local lavv enforcement agencies, correctional institutions, courts and security agencies. It also supports the University Year for Action program. Qmzricon bludies The program in American Studies provides a broad cultural background and a specialization in a field of the student's particular interest. The depart- ment is continuing to push its efforts to encourage students in their research activities in the library, and by further implementing their research by going off campus to visit and study places and things, to interview people who are knowledgeable, and to visit state and out-of-state university libraries and museums. During the previous academic year students traveled 26,441 miles, accomplished 416 interviews, and visited a total of 81 state and university institu- tions. The department offers approx- imately 10 different classes each semes- ter The enrollment for the department has reached a total of over 350 students. Professors Malone and Taylor have served as consultants and advisors for the Tour Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Associate Dean Malone has contributed much to the Kansas Authors Club. Professor Taylor continues to serve as a member of the Home Service Committee, American Red Cross and as a member of the Bicenten- nial Committee for Wichita. 4 The Department of Anthropology has 30 graduate students and approx- imately 69 undergraduate majors. Anthropology lists 54 classes offered each semester. The basic objectives of the depart- ment are to train students both on the undergraduate and graduate level in Anthropology, as well as to conduct active research programs and offer public education and service through museum and contract services. ln connection with community activities, the department assists and advises the newly formed organization Archaeological Association of South Central Kansas. One of the major developments for the department has been to move into the newly remodeled facilities of McKinley Hall. The departmental offices will be located on the first floor.

These programs are designed to communicate to the stu- dents basic factual information -consist- ing of both theory and empirical observation. Students should also learn basic laboratory skills. The program is designed so that the students should be aware of what they know and should be able to develop ways of handling and answering problems. Another important goal in the Chemistry Department is the acquisition of new knowledge through research. Faculty members are expected to perform research and are expected to publish the results from their work. During the academic year the major changes that have taken place in the Chemistry Department have been the remodeling of McKinley Hall. ln the remodeling efforts the lecture room and the laboratories for organic chemistry have undergone considerable remodeling to update the facilities. During the fall semester 1974, there were approximately 125 undergraduate chemistry majors, approximately 20 graduate students in the Nl.S. program and 7 students in the Ph.D. program. Chemistry Members of the Chemistry Depart- ment participate in the Wichita Section of the American Chemical Society. Meetings are held each month with speakers discussing the research activities in chemistry. The department also participates in research projects which have been carried out on a community scale by different individuals within the department. 1 K 1 ,,-+ 4 24 The Department of English has an enrollment of approximately 4,000 stu- dents and offers over 50 courses each semester. The objective of the depart- ment is to promote and develop the study, understanding and appreciation of literature and language. The various programs jEnglish major, English Teaching major, creative writing, graduate, undergraduate, linguis- tics, etc.l in the department are under constant review. ' The department participates in several cooperative programs with the community which include the Book and Author Programs and Literature Lecture Series. Individual members of the de- partment work in various programs with the Wichita Board of Education. English L We IX,-'b 9 A Gzrmcxn VL 'Y 1 Y it The basic goals of the German Department are to teach the basic skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing German and to introduce stu- dents to the culture and people of the countries where German is spoken. Students are constantly encouraged to couple their bilingualism with other skills and thereby enhance their career opportunities. ln the course of learning the language and cultures of another people, students also learn to understand better their own language and culture. While this may appear to be gratutitous and tangential advantage of language learning, this constitutes one of the significant achievements of the pro- gram. The German Department has approximately 280 students currently enrolled in the various courses. While there is no graduate degree program in German several courses are available for graduate credit as well as for the upper division undergraduate credit. All totaled, there are 27 courses offered by the Department. The Department cooperates infor- mally with the community by offering German language feature films on a regular schedule and open to the public free of charge. Individual members of the Department are also members of the German-American Club. , 5 The Department of History has 90 undergraduate majors, 32 graduates, with an additional 1,400 students taking history courses. The department pro- vides approximately 40 courses on the undergraduate level and 7 classes in the graduate program. One of the major developments of the department has been to offer courses which have more of a contempo- rary appeal rather than the traditional ones. This has been an evolving process over the past three years. Several new courses that will be offered in the future include one entitled, History of the Petroleum Industries in the Greater Southwest. This includes the period from 1859-1959, the boom period in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. The department will offer Total- itarian Age, Dictatorship and Depres- sion. This course will include coverage of Europe, Latin America and Asia in the 20th century. Another course is The Twentieth Century Experience. This class will be oriented toward world, rather than national or regional history. The Way lt Was: Western Civilization in Film, will be a two semester freshman course which will use commercial motion pic- ture films such as The Egyptian, Sparta- cus, and The Agony and the Ecstasy. The films will be supported by lectures and reading assignments for each seg- ment of the course. ww ,. 755 'l'N 'Sw-1-www'-gnuvmnq' W W 6 ' ,www- K W.. i..

The Department is designed primar ily as an undergraduate program, with one course that is open to both graduate and undergraduate students, entitled, World Press. The main objective of the depart- ment is to give students the basics in the profession of journalism, along with the appreciation of developing broad inter- ests in all fields of scholastic endeavor. It takes a great deal to qualify as an able practitioner in the art of keeping citizens informed of current events. The department cooperates in journalism projects that go beyond the classroom. One such project that the department sponsors, in connection with the Office of information and Public Events is the regional competition for high school journalists in the Wichita area. The department is in the process of selecting a new chairperson. The depart- ment-is also considering the addition of new instructional faculty members to their staff, since the department has been expanding in a number of different areas. 3 fin' Back to Front: Susan Hull Debbie Tarleton Christina Means Marni Neu Kathy Baker Anita Hight Thomas Thomason, advisor Marie McDonald Phil Burger Mike Ortega Becky Wadsworth .of biqmo Dzlto Chi Front row: Anita Hight Henry Nathan, advisor Debbie Tarleton Kathy Baker Becky Wadsworth Christina Means Mike Ortega Second row: Susan Hull Alan Vandeveer Linn Hollingsworth Marni Neu Curt Lewis Womzn in Communication 54 ftLAtO RJ 1 If-fr-.

Gzoloq Tiff'-W, -ff' oociol Work Social Work is a profession ded- icated to helping people in a social context: it is an important and growing profession. lt is unique and challenging because of the complexity of human behavior and the continuing needs of people. From inner cities to suburbs and beyond, Social Workers are at work in hospitals, schools, neighborhood organizations, the armed services, public and private agencies of every sort--just about anywhere there are people with problems. ln each of those settings they help to correct the causes or alleviate the results of poverty, racism, mental illness, physical handicap, aging--the entire host of perennial enemies of the human spirit. The WSU Social Work Program has as its major objective the preparation of its graduates for beginning professional Social Work practice. Curriculum flexibility also prepares students for graduate training in Social Work, or for responsible community participation in human concerns. About 150 majors are currently enrolled in the 36-hour major cur- riculum which includes l2 social work courses, required or elective. Students are directly involved in providing service to people throughout the entire course of study, including two semesters of field instruction in community social welfare agencies providing, for example: family counselling, mental health, probation, medical care and geriatric services. Through their own organization on campus, Social Work students are active in a variety of social welfare issues including public welfare legislation, child care and gerontology. T 260 Molhzmofhlcs Ca 6tQtI6tIC5 The Department of Mathematics has 2,586 students enrolled in mathematics and statistics courses. The department has approximately 120 undergraduate majors, 100 undergraduate minors, and about 25 graduate students. In the fall semester, 1974, the department offered 88 sections of mathematic courses, including thesis and special project or reading courses. The sections represented 30 different courses. The Mathematics Department does not have a specific set of objectives since much of its effort is service oriented. That is, courses are taught that are required of majors in the sciences, the social sciences, education, business and engineering. The department also cooperates with the Computer Science Program. The main emphasis of the department is to prepare the students, both on the undergraduate and graduate levels for either further study or for employment. 2 Minority otudizs The goal of the Department of Minority Studies is to prepare students for service to the entire community through a coherent and socially relevant education-both humanistic and prag- matic-thereby enriching the total society. The department offers courses and programs to stimulate favorable inter- action among people, thus reducing racial tension. Emphasis in the depart- ment is on cross-cultural communica- tion, which stresses the uniqueness of the individual's language and behavior as it relates to communications across racial and cultural lines. Minority studies also offers experiences that allow stu- dents to explore their own uniqueness and provides methods for interacting favorably with other people. The curriculum is geared to develop- ing the student in three areas: lll as a unique individual, l2l as a participant- leader in an age of technology and l3l as a trained specialist and humanist. The three overlap, allowing the department to address itself to both curriculum and community. The department does not agree with those who oversimplify the Black, Chicano or Indian situation by denying that members of these minority groups are any different from other Americans and implying that they should not be singled out for special attention. The department becomes equally impatient with advocates of a complete restoration of Black, Indian or Chicano culture. The realities of life prevent the return to idyllic lifestyles, devoid of the technological accomplishments of mass communication, mass production, mass transportation, mass education and mass medical treatment.

The department offers approxi- mately 20 courses each semester to stu- dents. Philosophy has 23 majors. At present the department is in- volved with the Kansas Committee for the Humanities and with the annual Conference on the Teaching of Philos- ophy in Comminuty Colleges. Philosoph L Physics The Department of Physics has an enrollment of 20 undergraduate students with an additional 12 graduate students. Thirty-two sections of Physics courses are offered which include classes for both undergraduates and graduates. The basic goal of the Physics De- partment are twofold. First, to prepare Physics majors and graduate students for further graduate studies in Physics or for employment in industry, second, to pro- vide support in the form of basic courses in Physics for students in other sciences, Engineering and Health Related Professions. Each year the Physics Department, in cooperation with the departments of Biology, Chemistry and Geology, plan and operate a Science Day for outstand- ing junior and senior high school stu- dents throughout the state of Kansas. During this day these students perform experiments in these departments under the direction of faculty members. ' I Q CMJ 66 ., N- X.,.-Ma... vu-..,,h-.

Students may select courses in areas related to their special interests.QThese areas could include Business Administra- tion, Nursing or Education, for example. Students also have the option of major- ing in psychology as a part of a general education BA program. Students may also major in psychology with the intention of entering graduate school and training for professional status in the field. The Psychology Department has about 350 majors, 3,000 undergraduates and 150 graduate students enrolled each semester. They offer 35 undergraduate courses and 25 graduate courses in psychology each semester. Along with graduate subspecialties in general-experimental and in clinical- experimental psychology the department has developed a new program in Com- munity Psychology. Training in both psychological service skills and in com- munity based research in a variety of psychological issues and problems is provided. Courses in the application of psychological principles are being planned for the undergraduate level. Both the undergraduate and graduate levels are given opportunities for those qualified students to work in community agencies, while they receive college credit. All such work is done under the supervision of the depart- ment's faculty and the professional staff of agencies in which the students serve. Psycholoq , ,... . . . - . .. . sw... l Political bcizncz ? The Department of Political Science has a student enrollment of approx- imately 1,000 with 200 majors and 40 graduate students. The department offers at least 30 courses to undergrad- uates and graduates each semester. The main objective of the depart- ment is to contribute toward a liberal arts education, in addition to providing a program that explains the complexities of our political system. The department is involved with the Wichita Foreign Relations Committee and the Industrial Relations Research Association. The Political Science De- partment also is involved extensively with the Wichita city government and the citizen advisory boards. Q5 Politicol boioncz sponsors otzwort Udoll Former Secretary of Interior, Stewart Udall told students, Your generation is on the last surge of a weekend joy ride . . .we are on the edge of world-wide famine and economic col- lapse . . . we are headed off the cliff, and we have not done anything to change our course. Udall said the fuel shortage threatens the current economic system. We are running out of oil, and yet we are burning it up in a week-end bonfire, if all our fuel imports were cut off, our own resources would last us six years at our present rate of consumption, he said. The world financial structure is undergoing a revolution, the Arabs are the future world bankers. Udall told the Society and Technology class and other students and faculty that the food shortage is connected to the energy shortage, since oil is used not only to run the combines but serves as a base for fertilizer. The American economy is rich in food, but weak in fuel and energy . . .in Texas they are pumping fuel eight times faster than they can find it. He also predicted another Arab oil embargo and another Arab-Israeli war within the next year. Udall said the current political leaders are doing little to solve these world energy and food problems. The world food conference was a comedy . . . a tragic comedy. Nixon was and Ford is playing right along with the big oil interests, asking for more profits and increased drilling, if we let them have their way, they will use up all that is left. The former member of the Johnson and Kennedy cabinets said America must tighten its belt and cut back on oil consumption by at least 25 per cent. A value revolution is implicit in the energy crisis, the politics of plenty no longer apply, he said. Udall said avoiding serious economic collapse would require political leaders not afraid to tell people the painful facts of the situation. The energy crisis is the dominant event of your lifetime, said Udall, who has just published the book entitled, The Energy Balloon. 5 i v l . .

The program offers courses that study the role of the American family with relation to the problems of the aging, analysis of sex roles, the trends of population of the United States and the world, in addition to urban involvement and the problems of city planning. Another aspect of the program involves the study of violence and social changes. A number of courses are offered which include criminology, behavior systems pertaining to deviance, juvenile delinquency and contemporary corrections The curriculum has been designed to allow students to understand the basic concepts, propositions and theoretical approaches of sociology. bocioloqy .45,,, 'Wu .,1 . ,, L Jai-rf Wavpp, I 2 7 Xi' 'M- 9 a Rzliqion The Department of Religion at Wichita State University has designed its curriculum to acquaint undergraduate students with some of the major religious traditions. The different kinds of religious phenomena are examined along with various methods for studying religion. Students are urged to think critically and constructively about the nature and value of religion. gif -1 ,f-:' The Department of Romance Languages outlines its objectives, goals and responsibilities in four main areas, The Department is interested in teaching students to understand, speak and write the foreign language they have selected. They feel it is important for students to have an understanding of the structure of the foreign language studied and how it differs from the structure of the English language, thus enhancing their appreciation of English through a broader understanding of language in general. The department also stresses the need for students to have a knowledge of the culture, from the anthropological point of view, of the people whose language they are learning and to acquaint them with the fact that the world contains many ways of life, all as valid and real as their own. The program also stresses the important problems faced by other nations to explain their attitudes concerning world issues. Hope- fully, this will allow for some improve- ment in our international relationships The department offers 61 classes which include Spanish, French, Italian and Latin. The department has a student enrollment of approximately 800 students. Those students who are majoring in a specific foreign language are also encouraged to meet the requirements mentioned in the above. They must continue to develop their knowledge in the areas of literature, cultural structures and civilization of the countries whose language they are studying. They are also instructed in specific areas which will permit them to be successful in the international pubfic relations fields, teaching, or any of the other profes- sional areas available.

The role of the center is to stimulate and assist Wichita State faculty members graduate stu- dents and informed and interested citizens to investigate, analyze and report on these problems. Through their efforts, it is hoped that explanatory hypotheses about urban problems, alter- native solutions to them and probable consequences of such proposals are developed. The center's staff works with faculty and students in making studies of economic sociological and cultural problems, as well as governmental issues The staff also helps to conduct seminars, workshops and conferences dealing with these areas for officials and interested citizens. A central library of specialized materials on urban and regional pro- blems is maintained at the center to assist researchers. Women's biudizs ln the long run, we hope to do away with Women's Studies when the material is integrated into the regular curriculum. Meanwhile, we will be very supportive of Women's Studies courses until that time occurs, Dr. Annette TenElshof, WSU associate dean of stu- dents and assistant professor said. The statement was made following the establishment recently on campus of a major and minor in the field of Women's Studies. WSU has played a leading role in inaugurating the program in the area. According to available information, only a handful of midwestern universities have begun such a project. Throughout the country approximately 70 programs have become available but as Dr. TenElshof points out, Tomorrow might be different. The idea and its implementation have grown so rapidly. Dr. TenElshof projects that students with minors may be graduating as early as May, 1975. She feels that the first majors will graduate in two years. Women's Studies saw its origin at WSU based on a course concerning women authors that began three years ago taught by Dr. Dorothy Walters, associate professor of English. It evolved into Women in Society that combined the talents of Drs. Walters and TenElshof. The program served as inspiration for Dr. Paul J. Magelli, dean of Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, to appoint a committee to explore the possibilities of providing a major or minor in Women's Studies. Those named to serve in addition to Drs. Walters and TenElshof were: Dr. Geraldine Hammond, professor of English, Carol W. Konek, instructor in English: Jeanne E. Garnett, administra- tive secretary, English department, Dr. Dorothy K. Billings, assistant professor, anthropol09Vi Bobbye J. Humphrey, assistant dean of faculty for personnel and assistant professor of sociology and office of vice president for Academic Affairs, Susan Kay Osborne, instructor, administration, Betty T. Welsbacher, assistant professor, music education, Dr, Cecelia E. Traugh, assistant professor, instructional services, secondary educa- tion and foundations, Sandra Kay Arensdorf, student, Student Government Association: Judy L. Patterson, student, president, Mortar Board, Connie Peters, city commissioner, and Jeanne Ponds, community representative. Aims taken into consideration by the committee in determining the cur- riculum were: achievement of a deeper- understanding of women's roles and contributions in the present, discovering ways of helping women to function as full human beings in today's society and showing how information pertaining to women can be integrated into present courses or presented as new courses in the area of Women's Studies. The recommendation of all under- graduate courses suggested for approval by the committee met with an affirmative response by the Liberal Arts Curriculum Committee: the graduate program met with an affirmative response by the Liberal Arts Curriculum Committee: the graduate program met with acceptance by the Graduate Council and each college involved in the suggested courses sanctioned all of the arrangements. yssnH 'i Selection of courses can be made from a list including: Women in Society, Topics on Human Sexuality, Women in the Administration of Justice, Sociology of Sex Roles, Women in Business, Women in America, Images of Women in Literature, Writing by Women, Women in Other Cultures, Women and Religion, Seminar in Women's Issues, Psychology of Women, Independent Studies and Leadership Techniques for Women. Almost 300 students signed up for spring semester for the classes indicating, as Dr. TenElshof says, Students were interested in women's classes. She also feels that goals to be achieved are for women to become aware of their history, their contributions and to providethem with a balanced view of women. She further anticipates, Hope- fully, we can see our general curriculum changed so that women can be consider- ed as well as men. The associate dean of students concluded with, We have appreciated the cooperation of faculty, the depart- ments, colleges and the University. With- out that, this whole program would have been impossible. l 283 The Department of Speech offers a program of service to the University and the community through its five divisional areas: the Oral Communica- tion Program, Theatre, Radio-Television- Film, Rhetoric and Communication, and Speech Education. Through a com- plement of curricular and co-curricular offerings the Department provided educational opportunities for over 3500 students last year. The Department has a deep respect for the rich heritage of its programs. This year KNIUW began its second quarter century of broadcasting. The forensic program continued a tradition begun almost seventy-five years ago. However, center stage this year belonged to University Theatre as it celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. University Theatre's celebration was marked by a special season of great plays from each of the past five decades. One of the shows, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, was an entry in the American Theatre Festival. Another Department feature is the Readers Theatre. presenta- tions. This popular production high- lighted a number of University functions during the year including the Scholar- ship day in February. Through the sup- port of the Miller Foundation, the University Theatre was able to give tvventy-four scholarships to theatre stu- dents., KMUW-FM advanced another level of excellence during the year with the addition of four full-time staff members. These professional broadcasters and teachers along with a student staff of over forty made this National Public Radio affiliate one of the leading sta- tions in the network. ln January, the division of Radio-Television-Film started a second radio station, Audio Reader. This special station is for the blind and physically handicapped and is broadcast on a subcarrier frequency of KMUW. The purpose of the station is to provide printed matter in audio form. News- papers, magazines, and books are read each day by volunteers as a public service. ln November, the Board of Regents approved a new graduate program, Master of Arts in Communication. The innovative multi-disciplinary degree involves all areas of the Department. ln spite of its recent approval, within months the program enrolled a large number of graduate students. This dynamic program is expected to become one of the largest graduate programs of its kind in the middle west. Probably the most significant activity during the past year has been the change in the curricular structure of the Department. A major effort was begun to realign the academic offerings that eventually influenced over thirty of the sixty-seven Department courses and all of the academic major programs. New programs were undertaken as part of the Department's continuing contribution to the University outreach efforts. To mark the significance of the changes and to identify the contem- porary role the Department will take for the future, the name of the Department has been changed to the Department of Speech Communication. bpzzch rp fi 4 ln October, 1924, Fairmount College presented its first official all- school drama production of that great classic, The Mennonite Maid. So began the tradition of WSU theatre which marks a half-century of achievement this past Fall. With three complete programs of faculty directed plays, student directed experimental shows, the Readers' Theatre plus special dramatic offerings all year round, theatre at WSU is better than ever, as Director-Instructor Joyce Cavarozzi puts it. lt was George Wilner, now retired but not forgotten, who was instrumental in creating WSU's first real drama de- partment. Though early productions were few and fa1' between, a tradition began to emerge, even in those pre-Wilner lformerly Commonsl Auditorium days. Cavarozzi recalled some highlights of the past, such as the first three-show, poverty-ridden, sparsely-attended Summer Theatre offering in 1963. Other productions included the sellout per- formance of Marat!Sade in 1967, with its pre-'Hair' semi-nude scene. 7 si . huodliii' Sw t 'E' ' 13 x XX t I, X., ts 1 ,,. The Experimental Theatre workshop was initiated by the department Director Richard Welsbacher in 1961. Cavarozzi's Readers' Theatre, turned into its first formal season in 1970, has opened up exciting creative possibilities in all areas of performing and literary arts. The success of the summer season hardly needs to be recounted, but the long way from those first efforts to the smash success of the 1970's Man of La Mancha gives pause for true admira- tion. The Wichita public has not been theatre oriented, Cavarozzi noted. But thanks to the hard work of Community Theatre lled by another WSU faculty director, Mary Jane Tealll and WSU, we have made ourselves an aware, educated audience. WSU Theatre is an invaluable con- tribution to the liberal arts program, she added, And we have a definite orientation towards the humanities that can concern everyone. :ll- Xl T f 3 :ll- 1-I' A Thz Timz of Your Lifz 1 For a short period in the late thir- ties and early forties, William Saroyan was hailed by a number of critics as the long-awaited Great American Playwright. As it turned out, he never really lived up to that expectation, but he will remain unique in the history of the theatre as a kind of brash, innocent child who, for a little moment, nearly upset the conventions of his contem- porary drama. In those early plays, little happens Odd and eccentric characters wander through them, sometimes saying nothing, sometimes repeating strange, irrelevant lines, always talking a sort of oblique, stream-of-conscious dialog that often has nothing to do with the action. Or what passes for action. There was an improvised quality about the works that was the despair of the craftsmen, who looked upon Saroyan as an undisciplined amateur. Nevertheless, The Time of Your Life stands as a fascinating landmark of the stage: gentle, childlike, yet with a chill- ing edge that hints of the end of an age. There is perhaps no other play that is so evocative of the Autumn of 1939. lf you were there, you remember. lf you weren't this is what it was like before we all grew up. 289 x Lil I 482 Tin R It is difficult today to realize the uproar that Cat on a Hot Tin Roof created when it opened in 1955. Because of its sexual nature, it was considered the most controversial play of its time. In the mid-seventies, tele- vision, film and the theatre explore sex- ual relationships and attitudes much more explicitly than Cat does. But that is only one aspect of the play. In an atmosphere of passionate tensions, Tennessee Williams exposes, with explosive vitality, the impact of truth on illusion. The psychological wounds of Big Daddy Pollett's family are opened as their life-lies are forced to face the truth...truth that has the power to cleanse or kill. A mature and powerful play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof has one of the most vivid and striking family groups to appear on the American stage. Consider- ed by critics Tynan and Atkinson to be Williams' best drama, it won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Award. The bu in HID' T Wos Roses Writing about a play by Brecht, American critic Eric Bentley once said: The thing about the umbilical cord is that it has to be cut. The biological necessity of cutting the cord at birth is an elementary fact of life. But there is another umbilical cord, an invisible, psychological one that ties a child to his parents. There are no specialists to cut this one. We tear away at it for years, scratching and gnawing, consciously and unconsciously, sometimes never quite succeeding. It is a painful process for both parent and child, and to ease the discomfort we often repair the damage and soothe the pain only to begin severing it all over again. Two steps forward, one step back, lt is a ritual taking many years to perform. The author of The Subject Was Roses, Frank D. Gilroy, has found the technical means for the dramatic satura- tion of the subject and has given us a poignant play. Due to its sound struc- ture, lively and never artificial dialogue, its genuine humor and solid characteriza- tions the play is one of the most credible and entertaining domestic dramas of the American theatre. The Subject Was Roses received the Pulitzer Prize in 1964. ? QW .. M: K K 1, 5 K x .A,, .. xf' gif I .F .. . X Q. K 1 i fn' i W, ,..,fa. ig 1 is j.

Members of the 1974-75 debate team include senior Brad Tuzicka, sophomore Kathy Mueller, and freshman Jeanellen Knight, Darla Schmitt, Mike Miller, Charles Rogers and David Dater. Major tournaments during the academic year included tournaments with the Air Force Academy, University of Arizona, Northwestern, University of Utah, Oklahoma Christian College and Emporia Kansas State College. The team of Mueller and Knight posted a 5-3 record in the preliminary rounds of the Junior Division of the Great Salt Lake National Invitational Debate tournament held in January. Their 5-3 record in the preliminary rounds qualified them for the octa- finals. They defeated Northwestern, Wyoming, Lewis and Clark, and the University of California at Fullerton before losing to the University of Southern California in the finals. The WSU team of Mike Miller and David Dater also participated in the tournament, posting a 4-4 record in the preliminary rounds. During the fall semester the WSU debate team hosted a debate between one of WSU's debate duos and a visiting team from Oxford University, England. The proposed resolution was That the Vice Presidency ain't worth a pitcher of warm spit. Awards that were received by various WSU debate members included, Mueller and Knight placing third at Oklahoma Christian College, Mueller and Knight placing second at the University of Utah, Schmitt placing in the semi- finals at the University of Arizona. 1 Guzsi Cn Campus Senator Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., said at WSU, he did not favor the Nixon pardon, adding it is not equal justice or leadership in a nation of laws. l feel vindicated, but not vindictive, Weicker said as he spoke to a full house in Wilner Auditorium. The freshman senator who was one of the leading antagonists of the presiden- tial aides in the Watergate investigation, addressed students in the second Forum Board lecture of the year. When questioned by students, Weicker said he would vote for what is allowed by law on monies to be allocated to former President Nixon. He said he was not in favor of funding for such unusual circumstances. On the Watergate tapes question, the senator declared the Nixon tapes belong to the people and no one else. Weicker said it was the esteem l hold for politics that made me explode in the last few months, referring to his role on the Senate Watergate Committee and related events. He pointed out public interest was at a low point in 1972 when there was no great response to the Watergate breakin. He added there was no response when the ITT scandal and Kent State occurred. When we started to get those facts on the table, that is when we started to climb uphill, emphasized Weicker. lt all lies in the hands of the American people. , . at the voting booths. Weicker opened the latter half of his lecture to questions. When asked what first led him to believe there was some- thing wrong in the Watergate matter, Weicker said while people were Weicker concentrating on McCord, Liddy and Hunt, he thought they should look down other alleys. When questioned about the proposed tax on gasoline, the senator said he was against any part of a tax on gas. lt would only re-enforce the rationing by price brought about by the gas shortage. Weicker proposed a mandatory consenfa- tion system where the family car stays in the garage one day a week, at the owner's option. He added a second car would be parked for two days and quipped a third family car should be parked for five. Concerning the defense budget, Weicker said he would vote for individual cuts within the budget, adding What we cut we can use to finance other areas, such as housing and education. Weicker favored the cutback of U.S. troops in foreign areas claiming we are operating the military on the level of the 1940's not the 1970's, referring to U.S. missile capability. Weicker emphasized his belief that Senator Robert Dole was free of all Watergate matters during his tenure of Republican National Committee Chair- man. In a 15-minute press conference shared with Dole, the Connecticut senator voiced his disfavor with amnesty. He said, Lawbreaking is lawbreaking, but l do believe in civil disobedience. If a general amnesty is allowed it will create general anarchy in the future. Since 1950, the Gallup PoIl's margin of error on major elections has been between two and three per cent, Pollster George Gallup told a crowd of more than 300 attending WSU's Media Ap- preciation Day. The president of the American Institute of Public Opinion and head of the Gallup Poll organization also spoke as the fall semester's first Forum Board Lecture Series speaker. Gallup told the media, gathering the results of his poll are based on a sampling of 1,500 persons selected at random. This number, he said, was determined by a census profile of Americans. The son of the founder of the Gallup Poll listed several truths he has found about the American public from the more than one million interviews conducted by the organization. He said the judgment of the American people as a whole is soundp that handed the same facts, Americans will come up with nearly the same opinion on most issues, the public is willing to make great sacrifices for the good of the nation: and the law even- tually reflects the people's will. Concerning the media, Gallup said they should enjoy a lessening of criticism from politicians and the public, now that Watergate has passed. He said the last decade has been very rough on the press. Gallup Dzon The news media became the perfect scapegoat as the bearer of bad news during the period of changing life- styles and political unrest, Gallup said. People are getting tired of reading the headlines about Watergate every day and were seeing the press as part of their problems, he said. The attitudes of the people towards the press should change somewhat now. In his speech, Gallup said Americans are not despondent about their nation's future, but there are apprehensions. Unsolved domestic problems are the main cause of their fears, he said, but most Americans still express satisfaction with their own basic circumstances of life, their jobs and housing. He said as many as seven out of ten Americans have a high degree of confidence in the nation's future. ln fact, it appears that nothing can shake their faith, Gallup said. Not Watergate, the economy or energy problems. America is indeed apprehen- sive about the future, but they are not despondent. Gallup warned that President Ford's current popularity could come to a quick end if the President did not find some answers to inflation. While the President started his presidency with a vote of confidence from his fellow Americans, the nation's current obsession with the economy and high prices could have a devastating effect on his standing with the public, he commented. Gallup said current trends indicated by his polls show that television is still the most popular evening pastime in Americap as many people as ever smoke cigarettes, and the drinking problem and obesity are at all-time highs. Watergate was the worst experience he ever encountered, said John Dean, the first speaker in the Spring semester Forum Board Lecture Series. Dean went on to comment that it also may have been the best. Dean spoke of his involvement in the Watergate coverup and his personal impressions of Richard Nixon. In a voice worn from his six-week lecture tour Dean told the WSU crowd of about 5,500 that his short prison term was not the country club trip many thought it was. His four month jail term in Fort Holabird Prison was the worst exper- ience that resulted from his involvement in Watergate. For three of the four months Dean was kept in isolation so he would not influence any of the other alleged conspirators who were on trial. One of Dean's major points in the speech was what he termed the lack of justice. He said, A young person got ten years in prison for possession of one ounce of marijuana and I got four months for my offense. I am offended: that's not justice. When he was pardon- ed Dean said, Nobody was more sur- prised than I. When Dean's appearance was first announced, protests developed concern- ing the 33,500 fee. The protest grew into a petition for a referendum that resulted in a student vote against paying the fee. However, the University had already signed a contract with Dean for the appearance and the fee. Dean met the charge of profiteering from crime by pointing out that he has been offered hugh sums to make guest appearances. He said he also was given the opportunity to receive a phenomenal price to write a book on his part in Watergate. He told the audience he has turned down all these offers because he is sensitive to the profiteering charges. Then he asked the crowd, Are fees so important that you don't want me to talk about Watergate? Or do you want me to talk about Watergate? The crowd applauded. Two protestors who had planned to rush the podium remain- ed in their seats and stayed for the duration of the speech. Dean expounded on his personal involvement in the coverup. He said, lt would be easy to say loyalty was the reason I participated in the coverup, but this is only partly true, he said. It can be more fully explained by personal ambition--looking out for my best interest. Dean described Richard Nixon as a man who was concerned about his public image. He illustrated the point with a vignette from his White House days. The former President called Dean to the Oval Office and told him a group of college student newspaper editors would be touring the White House and that he wanted Dean in the Office to discuss the budget when the tour group came in. Dean said he was surprised because he never discussed the budget with the President. As another aide piled budget books on the table in front of Dean, he said he recalled that he stared at the President, wondering what would happen. When the group walked in Dean said Nixon looked up as though surprised, then asked Dean to say something to the college editors about the budget. Dean said that later,, when he left the Oval Office he asked Nixon's chief of staff, H. R. Haldeman, Why was I in that meeting? He said Haldeman replied, The President thinks you look hippie. As the WSU audience's laughter subsided, Dean added, lVly hair was about a quarter inch longer than it is now...two days out of the barber's chair. Dean was perhaps the most Contro- versial speaker ever to appear in the Forum Lecture Series. Many persons attended the lecture to determine their personal feelings towards John Dean and his association with the scandalous Watergate events. Wherever he appears, audiences will sit in judgment, only to realize that the mistakes he made are not a far cry from those that each of us make. Dean generated an air of honesty that was accompanied by a forthright and witty manner. When he was asked what would have happened if they had gotten away with the coverup, Dean answered, I know in the future there would be more Watergates, and they would be worse. 301 A Wayne Thiebaud inventory: wonderful versions of cake slices, all day suckers the size of hand mirrors, a square meal or two, hors d'oeuvres and monochrome pie slices. Mr. Thiebaud, currently on sab- batical from the University of California at Davis visited the campus community the week of February 10 through 14 in connection with an exhibit of his art at the Ulrich Museum. l believe that painting has develop- ed in a single, long tradition, Thiebaud continued. Though I am against categorical labels, I feel I have been working in a particular 'realist' tradition that goes back some 300 years. Traditional development in art is not like scientific progress of course. Art always serves to extend and amplify human consciousness. In a way it's like watching ourselves looking at ourselves. When asked what he would like visitors to be aware of when viewing his work Thiebaud replied, l am a very influenced painter. I have a deep regard for my influences and feel honored to be a part of the tradition of painting. And of course I want people to enjoy my art and laugh with it. Thiebaud appeared in two seminars held for students at 2:00 p.m. on Wed- nesday, February 12 and a 9:30 am. seminar held on Thursday, the following day in the Ulrich Museum. The Thiebaud show was on exhibit through March 2. Thizboud An obsession with sweets? No, more of an investigation of realism and objects, Thiebaud said. Painting has a richness, a sort of runniness that suggests frosting. But the subject is not important to me, the visual rendering is. Yoshida :ws Toshi Yoshida, Japanese printmaker who gained international recognition as one of the masters of the woodblock print demonstrated his techniques at Wichita State University, December 2. Yoshida was on a six-month tour of the United States and South America with his wife and two sons, who are also printmakers. His visit was sponsored by the studio arts department of the College of Fine Arts. While the artist was visiting WSU an exhibit of 50 of his multi-colored wood- block prints was shown in the Staircase Gallery of the north wing of the old McKnight Art Center. Yoshida's visit to Wichita State was arranged by Mary Sue Foster, assistant professor or art education, who met the printmaker while she was on sabbatical leave in Japan last year. The accomplishments of women in the field of art, particularly the visual arts, have been limited. So manv Amer- ican women have embarked upon careers as painters or sculptors, yet so few have succeeded. ln literature, on the other hand, numerous women have been outstand- ing, The names of Willa Cather, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Pearl Buck, Margaret Mitchell, Katherine Ann Porter and Joyce Carol Oates immediately come to mind, but in the art world only a hand- ful have achieved a similar recognition. lsabel Bishop is one of those rare exceptions. Isabel Bishop's deep personal feelings for those ordinary and often sad human beings have inspired her to create a modern vision of man's condition. Her best work has a timeless fascination that will never be dated. lt will always be fresh and beautiful. But Isabel Bishop has accomplished much more than this. She has overcome the difficulties a woman must surmount to succeed in an occupation long dominated by males, and she did it long before women's rights became a rallying cry. lsdbzl Disho P 4 X, are S XP' MALCOLM FRAGER October 10 84 11 A soloist with the Boston Symphony for eight consecutive seasons, Malcolm Frager is one of the outstanding pianists in the country.

DANZI WOODWIND OUINTET March 19 Members of the Danzi Woodwind Quintet, an internationally known ensemble from the Nether- lands, all hold first chairs with the Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Netherlands Opera Orchestra. A California critic wrote of them, Just when every visiting chamber ensemble from Europe was beginning to sound the same, along comes the Danzi to give an entirely new scope to the proceedings. THE CONCORD STRING OUARTET February 13 This season finds the Concord returned from a successful tour of South Africa. Each year the quartet makes an extensive tour of the United States, performing on major college campuses from Yale University to the University of California. New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. critics have heralded the Concord as superbIy vital, first rate in every respect and a major entry among today's younger quartet players. The Concord won the coveted Naumburg Foundation Chamber Music Award in 1972. MARK KAPLAN November 4 81 5 A noted American violinist at the age of 19, Mark Kaplan was a finalist in New York's lnter- national Leventritt Competition and received a special award of distinction by the judges.

Guest Qrtisi bzrizs JOHN BIGGS CONSORT April 17 In one program the Biggs Consort can easily go through seven centuries of music--all the way from a medieval dance to a contemporary piece for voices and electronic sounds. The variety is breathtaking. They bring the music of all periods to life for the 20th century audience. 1974 75 Crumb The critics hail George Crumb as one of the most stimulating and imaginative American composers working today. An imagist of rare sensitivity, Crumb has been the recipient of numerous com- missions and prizes. His honors include awards and grants from the Fulbright Commission, the Rockefeller Founda- tion, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Institute of Arts and Letters, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for his compo- sition Echoes of Time and the River. Crumb's mature style does not follow an established ism, and yet is derives from the economy and compact- ness of musical gesture often heard in the works of Webern. In one of his best-known works, Ancient Voices of Children, the poetry of Frederico Garcia Lorca is delicately set for voice, oboe, mandolin, harp, piano and a variety of percussion. The transparent combina- tions and the sighing, wailing sounds create music that blends old with new. His Makrokosmos Volumes I and ll, for amplified piano, applies the inside-the- piano technique in a way that creates purposeful, beautiful sounds, which merge naturally into his scheme of musical thought. Currently Crumb is composer-in- residence at the University of Pennsyl- vania. He received the bachelor's degree from Mason College, the master's degree from the University of Illinois and the doctorate from the University of Michigan. 306 .Hnhrih Mt . ,,,. gg...-..n An internationally known pianist and recording artist, David Burge completed his eighteenth American concert tour last spring and was acclaimed across the country as an outstanding performer of twentieth century repertoire. Paul Hume of the Washington Post wrote, Every composer of our time should be so blessed as to be played by a David Burge. Burge is presently professor of piano at the University of Colorado. His recordings of solo piano music and ensemble works have been released on many labels. One of his most recent releases is a recording of George Crumb's Makrokosmos, Volume l. The work is dedicated to Burge, who has played it with great success more than forty times since its first performance in February, 1973. Durqz Burge, who holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree and Artists Diploma from the Eastman School of Music, has received a Fulbright Fellowship and a University of Colorado Faculty Research Lectureship, the highest award for a Colorado faculty member. He also has been honored with the 1974 Merit Award from the Northwestern Univer- sity Alumni Association for his out- standing contribution to the Field of Music. He serves on the advisory board to the Institutional and Faculty Assist- ance Program for the National Associa- tion of Schools of Music. Pzndzrzclci The two-hour oratorio Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ Ac- cording to St. Luke is considered to be Penderecki's masterwork. Commissioned by the West German Radio for the seven hundredth anniversary of the Munster Cathedral, the Passion exhibits elements of what critics have described as Penderecki's eclectic style, incorporating Gregorian chant, folk music and non- verbal choral sounds as well as blending freedom from strict pitch and tempo limitations with traditional melodic motives and triads. Dies irae, written in memory of those slain at Auschwitz, exemplifies a common theme in Penderecki's works, that of human suffering. Listeners are often stunned by the spectrum of sound as well as by the emotional intensity in his works on this theme. Recipient of numerous awards, including those of the Concert Artists Guild and Young Musicians Foundation, Paul Tobias has gained a reputation for his brilliant technique and markedly individ- ual style. A native Californian, he is a graduate of Juilliard School of Music, where he held the Felix Salmond Cello Prize and the James Loeb Memorial Scholarship. A protege of Gregor Piatigorsky, he opened the 1972-73 New York season of the Concert Artists Guild and was hailed as a performer of temperament and flair by the New York Times. The newspaper further reported on his virtuosic technique, emotional power, and witty and brilliant playing. Tobias has been awarded a grant from the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music and is affiliate artist of the Performing Arts Council of the Los Angeles Music Center. Few composers of recent decades have enjoyed so swift or so spectacular a rise to world prominence as has Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. His compositions have been performed by numerous major American ensembles, including the La Salle Quartet, the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C., and the Minnesota Orchestra. Penderecki first gained recognition in 1959, when he was awarded the first three prizes in a competition sponsored by the Youth Group of the Association of Polish Composers. Penderecki's Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima l196Ol was the first of his compositions to gain international recognition and remains one of his best-known and most widely performed works. The Threnody was performed by the Wichita Sym- phony Orchestra during the 1972-73 season. Tobios 307 Photo Exhibition A collection of photographs of living human treasures which have 12. 1- 1. become world famous since it was first exhibited at EXPO '67 in Montreal was exhibited at Wichita State University during the month of December. Men Who Make Our World, a series of 110 photographs by interna- tionally known Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh opened Saturday, December 7 in the Ulrich Museum of Art of McKnight Art Center. Known for many years as a photo- grapher of the great and famous, Karsh first became internationally known in 1941 when his portrait of Winston Churchill was published on the cover of Life Magazine. The photographer travels the world to photograph his subjects in their own environment, if possible, and over the years he has photographed many of the men and women in all fields of endeavor who have made history in our time. Providing quality graduate education for working people throughout their lives is the most important aspect of the Graduate School according to Lloyd Benningfield, Dean of the Graduate School. ln order to maintain this course Benningfield says that the faculty of the Graduate School will have to imple- ment more non-traditional course deliv- ery systems and make sure that class offerings are of use to graduate students of all ages. Resource development is a key word in Dean Benningfield's comments on the future of his college. Financial support of students and of the college by the University is necessary for continued growth. Benningfield also refers to the need for development of the research capabilities of our facuIty. Speaking in terms of five to ten year objectives, Benningfield says it will be his goal to develop a more viable set of terminal graduate degree programs and to provide master's level programs more directly related to the need of an urban university. Problems in defining the structure and government of the Graduate School are prime concerns for the 1974-75 aca- demic year. Benningfield also looks towards implementing a more diversified and better interdisciplinary use of classes. Benningfield expressed a definite opinion in the changes that have occurred in students since he has been associated with education. He feels that students are more interested in the short term rewards of a vocational educa- tion. Students are interested in pursuing the more difficult studies that lead to broad intellectual development. Regarding the graduate education offered at Wichita State University, Benningfield feels that the graduate pro- gram has too often been forced to exist on money left over after undergraduate programs have been funded. Benningfield, who became Dean of Graduate School since 1972, hopes to establish a more secure foundation for the graduate program at WSU. By build- ing interest in the graduate educational program, Benningfield hopes to achieve greater financial support from the University. With the increases in the enrollment of the graduate program some of the aforementioned goals are attained, Benningfield says that the financial problems will probably ease. s X V +4-ani . lar Groduofz bchool 309 1 , u f f 1 , . ., .4 , if 1 , A fi. g .yt ,xv ,ig any ' W ' Erika ,, fi?5l3L fl I 1 ,4 rife - H QHQRY '- 5, t'J:f'xiH5 35, ,-. ,ggi wfgwiqy THE BLACK HOURS MEDITATION From the poles of our beginning, median trail Countless cross-roads have beginnings and their end.

While variation in performance occurred, the record was nothing new as the Shockers fell to a dismal 1-9-1 for the season. The crowd was provided plenty of excitement in the form of a stingy defense, an exciting passing offense, and in several games, a good rushing attack. The man with Wichita State's foot- ball fortunes riding on his shoulders this past season was Jim Wright. Being forced to use many freshmen, Wright's first season at the WSU helm was not one that many coaches in the NCAA would envy. Three Shockers won spots on the All-Missouri Valley Conference Team. They were Stan Bo Ricketts at split end, defensive cornerback Bill Trammell and linebacker Dave Warren. I n,,r 41' N Wf- M , 1315 K , .- gif. kb.

These were the words of Jim Wright after Athletic Director Ted C. Bredehoft introduced him last January as the new head football coach at Wichita State University. Jim Wright, a young 38, aggressive and ready for the tough schedule that lies ahead. Wright has been responsible for the spread, in epidemic proportions, of a new Gold Fever that has led to picking an excellent staff of coaches blending both youth and experience, all with the same philosophy of an exciting brand of football. Wright set out to improve the facil- ities for his players by initiating a drive for a new agility and weight room, now located next to the locer rooms in Cessna Staduim. The 365,000 proiect, financed by the Shocker Professional Club, includes a professional gym weight machine, new wrestling mats, a Uni-Turf floor surface, exercise mirrors and is totally air condi- tioned. I really had a lot of work to do, in terms of organizing teams, communi- cating with the players and helping them learn to think together. l have tried to teach the players our number one task is to make them believe they could win and show them what it is going to take to win. You have to have good players to attain your goals. Everyone has personal goals: I wanted to be a head coach. To be a head coach you have to level with yourself, it's no cinch job. You have to have the courage to build up a program from scratch, Wright analyzed. l believe the hardest thing to ac- complish is to develop a winning atti- tude among the team and the commun- ity, Wright said. Frank Emanuel, 31, has been named Jim Wright's top assistant. Emanuel has stepped in and organized the defense to a point that Wright admits, The defense is far ahead of the offense. l couldn't understand why Jim sent me a one way ticket to come here for an interview, Coach Emanuel said. This defensive coordinator packed his bags on August 13 and told his wife he would see her on November 24. For Frank Emanuel the long hours that a coach puts in are just part of a coach's responsibility. You have to be dedicated, devoted to living the game and to understanding all situations. If you are not willing to sacrifice the time, don't bother being a coach. This is one of the few professions that any person can see how successful a man is in his livelihood, the results are on the field each fall Saturday after- noon, Emanuel said. Coach Emanuel has accepted responsibility. He has done a tremen- dous job of mentally and physically preparing the defense, to a point where the players want to attack people, Wright said. Elroy Morand, 33, is the first black coach in the history of WSU football. Elroy knows how to handle the diffi- cult job of coaching running backs. Wright said of the offensive coordinator, He has an excellent understanding of offensive football. Elroy is energetic and personable on and off the field as a coach. I was here five months before my family moved down from Iowa, com- mented lVlorand. I believe football is one of the last means of discipline we have in the world today. I believe it is a challenge to build a winning program. Bill Baker, 27, will be Wright's defensive secondary coach. I believe you must have a simpli- fied system, yet have enough defenses to cope with any type of offense, Baker said. I feel you can over coach. A model player must have a good mental- ity, be aggressive, and have speed, in that order of importance. l came for an interview and the next day Coach Wright had me recruit- ing in Texas. l didn't see my wife for a month and a half, Baker added. Coach Baker is respected by the players as much as anyone, he is know- ledgeable and disciplined, and a very, very aggressive coach, Wright said. Martin T. Poe, 31, came to WSU from Tennessee State where he was the only white coach to ever serve on the TSU staff. You must be aggressive, then learn the techniques and how to execute your assignments. And most important, you must have pride, Poe said. I like to recruit and work with the players during practice. I bought my house over the phone, I had never seen it, but I paid the deposit and still didn't see it for another week, Poe added. l came for my interview and didn't see my wife for two and a half months after taking the iob. Martin has worked hard, he is aggressive and demanding with the offensive line, but still keeps a good rapport with all the players, Wright said. John Stucky, 26, is no stranger to Kansas as he is from Hutch JuCo and Kansas State. Stucky is in his first year as a major college assistant. John is learning and working at coaching, Coach Wright said. He enjoys the weight program as much as anyone I have ever known. You must have the players to compete, the defensive line coach said. His quickness is essential, movement is the most important facet of a player's skiIls. Stucky was recently married on July 27. If asked about his feelings on mar- ried life, Stucky gives his objective reply, l don't know, I hardly ever see my wife. Phil Fulmer, 24, is the only single coach on Wright's staff. 'Phil is young and aggressive, he has a lot to learn but has worked very hard with the players, Wright said. He is now a tremendous recruiter and will be an outstanding football coach. ' Fulmer played in the Gator, Liberty and Sugar Bowls during his outstanding college career at Tennessee. Phil was the first coach selected under the new WSU staff. Bubba Hooker, 26, is the WSU receiver coach this season. l didn't know anything about receivers when I came in, Hooker said. Hooker coached offensive backs at Austin Peay State University before coming to WSU. Coach Hooker has made a change from offensive backs to receivers, Wright commented. Bubba has worked extremely hard on and off the fieId. Tom Abbott, 28, made the shortest trip of all, from across the city at Friends University. I want to be a football coach, that is my number one long range goal, Abbott said. l am working now to get my masters. Abbott has been with the staff since February 15. He will be coaching defen- sive ends in addition to being academic advisor for the players. Tom is a tremendous asset to the staff, a jack of all trades. He has great endurance and is learning the organiza- tion from top to bottom, Wright said. After we have been together as a unit and the staff knows what to expect, we can run a smoother ship, the WSU head mentor said. We will need leadership from our seniors and some help from our under- classmen, especially our freshmen to win, Coach Wright said. lf these ingre- dients are there, we will win. I firmly believe there is no short cut to success, Wright concluded. fa sg, I, S, 'sa ' lrf' I ' 317 Jim Wright, 38, will be entering his first season as head football coach at Wichita State University. After taking over the Shocker reins in early January, Wright has already convinced Wichita State fans that he doesn't plan on run- ning anything but a first class operation. Wright is a dynamic, aggressive and hard working individual who enters the WSU scene with no concept of losing. ln less than three months he put together a recruiting peogram that opened the eyes of college coaches all over the country. Yes, WSU was the U ON THE MOVE. Jllllllilll lllMBlllK3lHlT Before Wright became a Shocker, WSU Athletic Director Ted Bredehoft had to pry Jim away from the Univer- sity of Tennessee where he served as top assistant to Head Coach Bill Battle for the past four seasons. Wright was selec- ted for the WSU post from over 75 candidates and signed a four year con- tract. Wright's coaching career spans 15 years among the upper echelons of col- legiate football and equips the Shocker head coach with outstanding credentials as he prepares for his initial season at the helm of the WSU program. Jim started off his college coaching career at Texas Tech where he served for six years under J.T. King, In 1967, Coach Wright became chief assistant to Charley Shira at Mississippi State, stay- ing until 1970 when he was tapped as top aide at Tennessee. In four years as offensive coordina- tor at Tennessee, Jim helped the Vols to four post season bowl invitations while compiling a record of 39-9. Wright's football success didn't start in the coaching ranks, but as a collegian star at Texas A8iM, where he played quarterback from 1955-57 under the coaching of Paul Bear Bryant. The people of Wichita and through- out Kansas are a primary concern of the Shocker gridiron boss. Wright is taking the WSU story to audiences ranging from civic groups to high school athletes and has received amazing results. Wright plans to take his football program to the people as he invites fans to spring practice and continues to schedule quarterback clinics in the five state areas of Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Georgia. Jim was featured on the cover of Athletic Journal, a national publication, in September, on the Counter Option. The author of DeveIoping the Quarterback, the Shocker head coach knows where of he speaks. He's coached four current professional field generals lTom Pharr-Winnipeg Blue Bombers of CFL, Joe Reed -San Francisco 49ers of NFL, Bobby Scott- New Orleans Saints of NFL and Jim Maxwell-Philadelphia Eagles of NFLl and worked with Condredge Hollowar, Tennessee's All-American junior quarter- back, the past two seasons. Wright and his wife Millie are the parents of four children, Lonna, 18, Jamie Kay, 11, and twin boys Matthew Scott and Charles Erick, 5. Coach Harry Miller would probably agree that his 1974-75 Wichita State basketball team wouldn't pass the screen test for Bob Hope's On the Road movie series. The past road season hasn't been particularly successful forthe Shockers, who won only three of 13 games away from the friendly confines of Henry Levitt Arena. Following the Shockers on the road throughout the season had its ups and downs, much like a team's won-lost Then fortunes took an upswing. First came the 95-91 victory over Memphis State, then among the nation's top 20 teams. The Shocks shot a hot 55.4 per cent to stun the Tigers and again Elmore was the catalyst with 25 points and a dozen rebounds. The WSU offensive machine kept rolling and on Jan.9 the Shocks hit their R6llllC6T RLL record. There were the good times .. .like the opening trip to Los Angeles, the scenic beauty of Utah and New Mexico, and the big upset victory at Memphis State. But there were also bad times. . .the injury to Cal Bruton, lop-sided losses, lost luggage and narrow defeats which could easily have been victories. The Shockers were tested by three five-day trips this season and they were particularly troublesome. The Shocks managed a split on the first two-game road test but dropped both ends on the other two long trips. The road schedule startedpinnocent- ly enough, way back on Nov. 29 when Miller took his charges against perennial powerhouse UCLA, one of the several nationally ranked teams the Shockers played this season. The Bruins won but it wasn't as one-sided as Pauley Pavilion fans prefer. UCLA turned on the steam in the final minutes to win 85-74. Robert Gray made his WSU debut with 18 points and Bob Elmore only six, the only time this season he hasn't scored in double figures. The Shockers evened their road vic- tory on Dec 7 with an 80-69 triumph over Brigham Young amid the moun- tains of Provo, Utah. But it was a costly victory: Bruton injured his ankle early in the contest and missed the next three games. Elmore more than picked up the slack, scoring a season high 30 points against the Cougars who had a very successful season after the loss to WSU. Next came a couple of tests from the Big Eight Conference and WSU came out on the short end both times. Nebraska administered a 78-65 setback in snowbound Lincoln on Dec. 14, despite 17 points from Gray and 13 Doug Yoder rebounds. A'week later Oklahoma romped 75-55 in Norman while Elmore was scoring 20 points. peak with the 106-92 triumph over Drake at Des Moines. This time the percentage was 54.5 and little Bruton, back in the lineup with a fiber glass leg, wowed the Iowa crowd with 25 points. Elmore again had 12 rebounds. That, however, proved to be the last win away from home for Miller's young crew. On the second leg of that five day trip the Shocks lost a physical and emotional battle at Bradley, 88-73. A balanced attack produced 18 points from Bruton, Gray and Neil Strom, but it wasn't enough. Next came a 77-67 loss at St. Louis followed by the 74-63 setback at Tulsa. Small crowds saw Gray tally 21 points at St. Louis and Elmore net 20 at Tulsa. All that remained was a pair of those dreaded five day, two-game trips. At least the scenery was pretty in El Paso and Las Cruces when the Shockers fell victim to New Mexico State's delay offense, 72-66, on Feb. 8. Bruton exploded for 23 points and Elmore another dozen rebounds in the loss. Miller got a hint of things to come when the team moved on over to Amarillo to battle West Texas State two days later. His luggage and one of Elmore's suitcases didn't keep up with the party. That night the Shockers couldn't keep up with the Buffs who put on their best performance of the season before only 1,300 fans and won going away, 89-63. The Shocks nearly shook the road snakebite last week at Louisville, closing to within one point of the Missouri Valley Conference leaders in the final minutes before losing 85-76. Elmore led the upset bid with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Two days later in a near repeat of .ne West Texas disaster, WSU dropped an 86-80 decision at Denton to a North Texas State team that had lost its last 11 games. Despite Elmore's 22 points it vvas a sour ending to the road season and one Miller said he hopes his team will benefit from next season when it should be contending for the conference zrown. In spite of all the heartbreaks the promise of the future is there. Everyone who saw the Shockers perform, win or lose, recognized it. l join those voices in echoing, Wait until next year.

Last year the Shockers record dropped to 11-15, but the future looks much brighter for Miller's cagers in 1974-75. Last season Harry joined an elite group of college coaches by posting his 300th win, an 83-76 victory over North Texas State. His overall record in 20 years of coaching is 303-214. He cur- rently ranks in the top twenty of active coaches on the major college level. The 46-year old Miller was born in Martinsville, Indiana, and began his col- legiate coaching career at Western State in 1952. In 1958 he went to the Univer- sity of New Mexico, where he served as an assistant coach for two years. ln 1960 Harry took over the reigns at Fresno State and won four straight conference titles, before returning to his alma mater at Eastern New lVlexico. After winning the NAIA national championship in 1969 and finishing in third place in 1970, Miller moved to North Texas State where he stayed one year before coming to Wichita State. Miller is a leading advocate of fundamental basketball and likes his teams to run a patient offense while stressing the defensive aspects of the game. He feels that the key to success is contingent upon finding five players that will work together, regardless of their style of play. Harry earned his BA in Secondary Education at Eastern New Mexico. ln 1954, he earned his master's degree from Western State in Secondary Administration. Harry and his wife, the former Tillie Graham of Lubbock, Texas, are the parents of three boys, Bob 22, Tom 19 and Gary 9. xii C fQC31HmES Four straight Missouri Valley Conference titles . . . a 59-1 season record . . . recognition as one of the top teams in the Midwest. . .rated among the top twenty in the nation .... How far can a team go? Ask a member of the 1974-75 Shocker Cross Country Squad and they would be likely to say, Five straight MVC titles, a 60-0 season, and number one in the Midwest and the nation. Although the Wichita State harriers experienced a near perfect season, they were still not quite satisfied. They had too much pride to settle for anything short of the top. That pride nearly carried them to the number one position before one of the strongest runners became ill at the national meet and the Shockers had to settle for 17th place nationally. Randy Smith had an incredible sea- son which included placing tenth in the nation to become an All-American title holder. Smith also won the MVC individual championship for the second year, consecutively, making him the third individual to do so in MVC history. While the Wichita State University student body may have been more concerned with the football squad's efforts to bring WSU back into respectability, the cross country team was providing Wichita with national recognition. During the Shocker Gold Classic which was the second meet of the season, WSU surprised several of the Big Eight powers such as Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado by scoring a total of 45 points. The three Big Eight schools had 68, 72 and 100 points respectively. That second meet gave the Shocks confidence that they could really go places. And they did. The team traveled to Bloomington, Indiana for the tough Indiana Invitational. Wichita State learned two things at the Bloomington Invitational. They found out how good they were, and how good they would have to be if they were going to be national contenders. While the Shockers defeated big name schools such as Kentucky, East Ten- nessee and Auburn along with a number of other Mid-Eastern powers, they were humbled by the powerful British runners from Western Kentucky. West Kentucky won the meet with only 23 points with WSU finishing in second place with 95 points. Afterwards, WSU Coach Herm Wilson called WKU the best team in the nation. 326 After Indiana, the Shockers defeated Kansas State by the greatest margin ever, edged highly regarded Arkansas 42-46 for the Southwest Missouri State Invitational title and won their fourth consecutive MVC title. The conference meet was an experience in itself. Joe Tiony, a Kenyan freshman running for West Texas State, was expected to fiercely battle Smith for individual honors. Instead, the senior trio of Smith, Perry Koehn and Bob Ream captured the first three top places, setting Tionv back into fourth place. With sophomore Altorv Davis finishing fifth, the Shockers fourth title was the sweetest ever, with only 23 points. lt was the fourth MVC team race for Smith and Ream and neither had ever experienced defeat. With a 59-1 regular season record, the Shockers headed to Bloomington again in late November for a try at the big guys in the NCAA Championships. Coach Wilson was anticipating breaking the top ten, with a chance for placing in the top five teams. But on Sunday, November 24, the day before the big race, Koehn came down with the flu. He rested in bed all that day but was still feeling sick by the evening, with very little recovery. The other runners hardly mentioned what could happen with Koehn out. They knew how tough the meet would be and they preferred not to dwell on the uncontrollable. Monday morning Koehn suited up with the team and everyone headed out to the course with fresh enthusiasm. It was cold and wet on the course, and packed with quality runners. All seven Shockers took off with the starting gun but Koehn could only last through the mile mark. The other six knew they must take up the slack. Smith started off well and never fell back. He had hoped to make All- American by placing in the top twenty- five. He never dropped back any farther than 15th throughout the six mile race. At the end he poured on a sprint and passed some of the finest runners in the nation to claim tenth place, the third senior runner and the fourth American. CHESS COUNTRY The other Shockers placed farther back. In the end it was plain to Wilson that his team had indeed been hurt by the loss of Koehn. Instead of the top ten, the Shockers were 17th. Defending champions, Oregon won the meet with Western Kentucky taking second place. Wilson commended his team after the meet for a fine season. However, it was plain that there was still a question in his mind, just as there was in the minds of his runners. How far could we have gone? wwsffzsf December 6 marked the last day of fall practice for the Shocker crew teams, although members trained indoors throughout the winter, lifting weights, doing calisthenics and running to prepare for the spring semester's activ- ities. Coached by Mike Vespoli, the row- ing team had 35 male and six female participants. The team is sponsored by interested area citizens who are former collegiate oarsmen to expand the sport on a com- munity basis in Wichita. Office space for Vespoli is provided by WSU in Henry Levitt Arena. ln rowing there is no need for previous exposure to the sport Vespoli points out. You don't have to have any experience. Therefore it is open to any- one. Vespoli was a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic rowing team and holds five national championships in the sport. ' as 5 . 1 The crew's first spring meet was in Wichita, April 5, when the team met the University of Nebraska. The next race was scheduled against Kansas State University and Washburn University, the only other Kansas schools with rowing teams, in Manhat- tan. The third meet was set for April 26 when the crew traveled to Madison, Wisconsin, for the Mid-Western Sprints. ln Madison the team was scheduled to participate in a regatta for schools and colleges in the Midwest. The final scheduled competition for the team was May 10 and 11 when it sponsored a regatta in Wichita in con- junction with the Wichitennial River Festival. Crews from Oklahoma and Canada were invited to compete. Natasha Matson Fife, assistant pro- fessor of physical education at Wichita State University, has been appointed the first director of women's intercollegiate athletics at WSU. Mrs. Fife's appointment as acting director of the new department to supervise women's intercollegiate athletic competition was announced recently by WSU President Clark D. Ahlberg. The appointment became effective on July 1. For the time being, the new depart- ment will be an independent entity under the direct supervision of Dr. Ahlberg. A University committee has been appointed to develop proposals for the organization of women's intercol- legiate athletics within the University, and to recommend policies to guide its growth and development. Women's intercollegiate athletics will have increasing importance in campus life at WSU, Dr. Ahlberg said. More and more young women wish to participate in competition with other universities, and thanks to the Board of Regents and the Kansas Legislature they will have an expanded opportunity to do so. Natasha Fife is an outstanding person, and we are fortunate that she is ready to give her full time to developing the WSU program. Mrs. Fife, who has been a member of the WSU faculty since 1959, has been directing women's intercollegiate athletic activities at WSU for several years on a part-time basis. She said the creation of a full-time director is an important step for the women's athletic program since it will allow her to devote more time to strengthening and expanding the pro- gram. While l was teaching a full load in addition to coaching, she said, there wasn't much time left to devote to this program. And it definitely needs one person who has the time to concentrate on all its aspects, including promotion, organization and fund raising. Women's intercollegiate athletics was W s organized at WSU in the late 1960's and WSU women now compete with other state schools in volleyball, basketball, softball, gymnastics and track and field. During the last school year, 80 women were involved in the program. Mrs. Fife said she plans to begin her work with an intercollegiate competition by strengthening the five sports that are now organized, and then she hopes to begin slowly expanding the program into other areas, such as tennis, golf and swimming. MUWQWS The new department has been fund- 'BQSHETBQLL Q 5, 'W ed for the first year at 854,000-349,000 from the University and 85,000 allo- cated from student fee money. A former professional golfer, Mrs Fife is a graduate of Texas Women's University and received her master's degree in education at WSU. She has been state golf chairman and state badminton chairman for the Division of Girl's and Women's Sports and is currently a college representative to that organization. She is also a member of the govern- ing committee of the Kansas Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. 329 MXN! li T .Z.V, l , jilllw-1 ...V . V 330 ar MUM WQWS Q3WnrmmmQs3wnrur4QS 331 i::::4 o X' N -as-.sf The Future of Qthlztics ot Wichita btotz Every university that competes in inter-collegiate athletics wants a program that is competitive. Through a competitive program the athletic depart ment will create a following of fans which leads to an increased financial status and an attraction to the quality high school or junior college athletic talent. A competitive program that improves to gain national prominence will grow and prosper to unlimited capacities. That point of excellence is the peak that only few have attained but which all strive for. Wichita State University has come close only once in the history of the institution. That was during the mid 1960's in which Wichita State enjoyed three years of glory in basketball and grew from a small municipal university to a major university receiving national coverage. From that time the total program has been on a steady decline, football and basketball alike. The footing has been shaky, both financially and from the standpoint of the fans. Within the last two years Wichita State University has reached the cross- roads of its athletic life. The Shocker program must be competitive in football and basketball or face abolition of either one or both of the two sports. Three men will play major roles in the decision that the University must make. They are Ted C. Bredehoft, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jim Wright, Head Football Coach and Harry Nliller, Head Basketball Coach. Bredehoft began his tenure three seasons ago. He is eager to field a winner. He is uneasy around a loser and happy with a winner. His main interest at Wichita State is to fill the stands with the ticket buying public. He has proven to be a controversial man. Either you like him or you don't. Like him or not, you have to respect the man because he has gone to all lengths to be progressive. Hopefully, his aggressiveness will prove to be one of the major points in establishing a suc- cessful athletic program. Jim Wright has the most difficult task of all. His job is to remove the losing football record from the minds of the WSU followers. He has to recruit individuals who can compete on the same football field with individuals who play for teams on future WSU schedules. Wright faces a job that must initiate a tradition at an institution that has never experienced a tradition in football. Wright must put his own image as a football coach on the line. lt is going to be difficult recruiting an athlete to a weak football school that plays in a weak football conference. If Jim Wright fails to produce a winner, the football program will fail with him. Harry lVliller may have the basket- ball program on the rebound. Many thought he was the savior after his first season in which he produced a 16-10 record in 1971-72. Recruiting took its toll on lVliller the next three seasons, ending in two that were losing and one about as close as you can get. lVliller received a vote of confidence from the administration with a renewed contract. In a time of very little confidence in anything, it is refreshing to witness some. It is hard to realize but all three of these men have their jobs in the hands of young men between the ages of 17 and 23. These are the potential athletes that will perform in these two revenue producing sports at Wichita State. When these potential athletes are approached by a coach from Wichita State, little do they know that the future is in their hands. l l l fha i Dave McFarland, Dean of University College, finds his job exciting. The reason, he says is that he enjoys helping new students adjust to their first year at Wichita state. The main function of Uni- versity College is academic advising for incoming students but this assignment really encompasses more than just course scheduling. Dave McFarland said This assign- ment is exciting to me because it means that we as an institution have agreed to concern ourselves with more than just dispensing information to students. In fact, we must consider every facet of the new student's life to help them achieve both academic and personal growth. McFarland takes a personal appro- ach with students, as well as his staff. He prefers to be called Dave. ln fact, he has threatened to stop answering to those people who insist on calling him by his last name accompanied with the title of Dean. His goals for the 1974-75 academic year is to give all University College students supporting services to help them clarify their career choices and achieve academic and personal success while at WSU. Short term goals are easier to estab- lish than long term goals during the year in University College. The reason given by Dean McFarland is that University College is currently being studied by the University to determine the course to be taken by University College in the future. Dave McFarland thinks that open enrollment will become more and more of a reality at Wichita State. An increased amount of counseling and advising will also be needed to handle the new clientele attracted by open enrollment policies. He also expects an increase in the number of part-time stu- dents. Many universities do not serve part-time students well, but forsees an increase in service for part-time and evening students at WSU. Noting that students are now streaking instead of burning draft cards McFarland says there have been many changes in student attitudes and values from the 1960's to the 1970's, including academic interests. The masses of stu- dents that converged on the social sciences in the last decade are now beginning to shift their emphasis to business and health related fields, he says. This change in the mood and goals of students reflects the attitude of the nation as a whole, McFarland contends. The future of education in the United States centers around the urban university, McFarland says, and adds that he is extraordinarily optimistic about the future of WSU. The high percentage of older students, working students, minority students, veterans, and married students give WSU a rich character that is due tc its urban loca- tion, McFarland says. McFarland says he will accept any changes made in policy as long as they benefit the student. But, he says, he will scream like a squashed cat in protest if the future of University College does not serve the students. I' -II--- Chuck Nellans Les Walker Debbie Mehl Three new students have been named to organize the orientation pro- gram for the oncoming summer which help new students and their parents to better understand the complexities of the University. Chuck Nellans and Les Walker have been selected for the Orientation '75 chairperson positions. Debbie lVIehl will perform the job of Parents Orientation chairperson. The trio will work with Student Services and University College in de- signing and administering a program to introduce new students entering the Uni- versity in the fall semester, 1975. Les Walker comments, The purpose of Orientation is to have the students select a schedule and to introduce them to some of the services, organizations and people on campus. Nellans concurred, emphasizing the importance of getting off on the right foot at Wichita State. lVlehl said that the Parent's program will be designed to let them see the University for themselves, so they will know it is here for them too, and to give them some idea of what changes to expect in their children during their college career. The Orientation '75 program should benefit from the earlier selection of leaders, since the '74 program suffered organizational problems because the leaders were not selected until late in the spring semester. We feel some improvement can be made in the train- ing of student leaders the scheduling of the new student's activities while on campus, and the follow-up program, Nellans said. We are also looking for ways to get the information about the University to the new students faster and more effi- ciently, Walker added. All three students served as student leaders in the Orientation '74 program, and cite their positive experience with that program as one reason they applied for the chairperson positions.

V , l 'E Df-IRE ...Q -new U DARE is an experience in learning rvhich has as its primary goals helping Wichita State University freshmen relate to the University community through involvement in the small group experience. The program provides the new freshman with the opportunity to meet and work with 8 to 10 other students in a free and open environment where, sharing with each other, each person can come to a better understanding of him- self and his relationships with others. DARE is a continuation of the Orientation program. The activities of the program occur during the fall semester. Those people participating in the DARE program receive one hour of college credit. DARE is designed to enable the new student to deal with the problems, expectations and frustrations of college life in powerful and creative ways that will enrich the individual's life as a student. Providing a framework for personal and academic relationships with student leaders and faculty who are interested in providing guidance for the development of personal goals is another important objective of the DARE program. By helping develop the new student's personal objectives the development of an academic schedule will also be encouraged. v W 'ffl -f Ulu qu ,Mama-' ' i y . 'A I ll uman 3 ' 1' can--F ,, . 1, , f X, if f -, W6U Mzdicol Dronch ,K -L Training a modern physician requires a balancing of medical skill with awareness of human behavior. To achieve this the WSU Branch of the University of Kansas School of Med- icine is mixing traditional medical educa- tion with a wide range of clinical exper- iences. The WSU Branch is a community- based instructional effort. Learning occurs in local hospitals, mental health centers and other social service agencies rather than in classrooms. The major challenge to the WSU Branch, said Dr. Cramer Reed, Dean of WSU's Branch, is to develop a tradition of excellence in a medical education program and to encourage our students to take advantage of various patient care opportunities which a city like Wichita provides. All of this must be accomplished in the face of probable fiscal con- straints, he added. The WSU Branch, in operation since last January, involves practical exper- ience for students in such areas as sur- gery, medicine, pediatrics and psychia- try, Students work directly with doctors and patients in clinical situations. One of the innovations in the Branch curriculum is Interphase, a series of specialized programs designed to expand the scope of educational ex- perience. Past lnterphase sessions have dealt with patientfdoctor communication pro- blems, the 'roles' of physician and pa- tient, methods of emergency resusci- tation, the biology of aging and homo- sexuality. The administrative center for the Branch is located in temporary quarters on the fifth floor of Fairmount Towers. The center contains offices for the six department chairpersons. offices for student development, the Dean medical education, accounting, special projects, as well as a laboratory for self learning studies and a student lounge. Though the educational process mainly takes place in the hospitals, students are also on campus to use self study materials and library facilities. The first Branch class of 14 stu- dents will graduate this May. Twenty-six students will enter the program this coming January. Since October, 1972, the letters WSU Branch, KUSM have been appear- ing on letterheads, envelopes and signs with little indication of what they mean. lHint: Wichita State University Branch of the University of Kansas School of Medicine.l ln June, 1973, the dean, three administrative staff members and six department chairmen moved into the present office suite on the fifth floor of Fairmount Towers. However, it wasn't until January 2, 1974, that the WSU Branch became a reality with the arrival of the first 15 medical students. The community-based medical education program of the WSU Branch provides opportunities for flexible clinical environments during a student's last 18 months of undergraduate medical education. Department chairmen and part time faculty supervise the clinical training, which is given primarily in the local hospitals. Upon completion of 18 months of basic science courses at the KU School of Medicine, students are eligible to come to Wichita for the clinical phase of their program. During this time they take five required clerkships: internal medicine and surgery, ten weeks each, pediatrics and obstetrics-gynecology, eight weeks each, and psychiatry, six weeks. Students also have the opportunity to take an elective in family practice as well as in sub-speciality areas, such as radiology, dermatology, urology, etc. In addition, during the first six months in Wichita, one afternoon a week is spent assisting a primary-care physician. Throughout the remainder of the clinical period, students have several options for utilizing the one afternoon period a week. 340 l . X They may continue working with a primary-care physician or begin working with a specialist. They may also work with a community service agency or pursue a research project under super- vision. Students are also required to participate in a four-week preceptorship, after completing their five required clinical clerkships. During the preceptor- ship the students live with a physician for a month, experiencing first hand the daily professional life of the doctor. One innovative addition to the traditional clinical curriculum of- the WSU Branch is interphase, a program for extending the goals of the clinical process course taken during basic science at the KU School of Medicine. The interphase lthe initial orienta- tion period of two weeks for all new students is referred to as introphasel consists of five-day blocks of time inter- spersed between clerkships during which all students meet together away from the hospital. They participate in discussions, seminars and simulations, they view films and demonstrations on a wide range of topics such as death and dying, the problem patient medical jurispru- dence, aerospace medicine and medical ethics. The sessions are designed to provide incentives for broadening the students' capacity for integrated learning and for adjusting emotionally and intellectually to the growing complexities of medical practice. The entire clinical education pro- gram will be reviewed continually to make changes where necessary and to develop an environment that supports the broadest range of important learning experiences. W6U branch of the l4U6M The first Lewin Family Medical Scholarship in the Wichita State Univer- sity Branch of the University of Kansas School of Medicine has been awarded to a member of the WSU Branch's second class of medical students. Richard Rajewski of Victoria, a second year medical student in the Uni- versity of Kansas School of Medicine who entered the WSU Branch last month, has received the 33,000 medical scholarship established last summer by Mrs. Ruth B. Lewin. The scholarship will be awarded each year to one of the new medical students transfering into the WSU Branch to complete clinical training, and will be awarded over an 18 month period to allow the recipient to complete the entire medical curriculum in the WSU Branch. The second class of 26 medical stu- dents entered the WSU Branch last month to begin the 18 months clinical training sequence offered at WSU. They had already completed basic science training at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City. This brings the number of medical student currently studying at the WSU Branch to 41. Larry Desch of Topeka, also a member of the new class, was awarded a 81,000 scholarship from the March of Dimes to apply to his medical training at WSU.

June Ensz 36 Jeff Worley REIVIEIVIBEFIING THE SECOND GRADE Alone in a bar, suddenly I am in class hiding in the last row from a teacher as big as God. Somewhere a bell rings. My best buddy is eight years old. He's shaved off his eyebrows and won't tell me why. At noon on the playground, I shoot marbles with a girl. She's older than I am, and wins. She runs off to tell her friends. I find a piece of chalk and write sHiT. At my desk, I sit and pick at brown scabs on my elbows and knees. I start to bleed. Looking up, I find the class doing the same. Together, we examine our sores and ignore the teacher, as in this bar, where I sit now no longer alone, I have bought drinks for everyone. Gary Rust bznior I-Iiqhliqhfs THE INTERVIEW I should tell him that I worked previously as an avacado salesman in Newton, Kansas where I also went door to door selling skilift tickets and that I was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee at the age of six and that I do quite well for a Siamese twin and that my health is excellent except for my heart which quit beating some time ago and that I 42 .W C 'M'u am not now a drug addict but K soon hope to be Q and that I keep an aardvark and a family of armidilloes in my bedroom and that my height varies between five two and six four depending on the time of day and that my references would be happy to answer any further inquiries during their visiting hours: I really should tell him, you know. But instead, I take off my raincoat and perch naked on the edge desk like a gargoyle and if he 6znior Womznis C. Men's Honor Fivz Wichita State University honored its senior women students this fall in the same manner it has traditionally been honoring its senior men. A 1974-75 Sen- ior Women's Honor Group has been selected along with the 1974-75 Senior Men's Honor Group. Selection to one of the senior honor groups is the highest recognition WSU makes of senior stu- dents. The Senior Women's Honor Group has a long tradition on the WSU cam- pus. Established at the same time the Men's Group was, it was discontinued several years ago when WSU installed a chapter of Mortar Board, the national senior Women's honorary. Since sufficient interest in re- activating the group has been expressed in the past few years, it was decided this fall to again begin selecting Senior Honor Women. The five senior men selected for the Honor Group are Bill Hanshaw, Alan McLeod and Bill Wix, all of Wichita: George David Ringer of Liberal, and Richard Thode of Hutchinson. The five women selected are Nancy Cox, Sally Hartwell, Cynthia Lair and Deanna Patton, all of Wichita and Lois DePew of Garden City. An installation ceremony for both honor groups and a reception for the students and their parents was held in October at the home of President and Mrs. Ahlberg. ,Z L to R: Nancy Cox Lois DePew Cynthia Lair Sally Hartwell George David Ringer Alan McLeod Richard Thode Second Row L to R Bill Wix Deanna Patton Bill Hanshaw 373 555 f 5. 5: . 31 4514, 3 , ,J 7 E' U V fl ' .fn s Z ,Q mf.

Fromthe decks of his wooden ships he saw natives cloaked only in breech cloths observing him from the rocky shore. Across the juncture of the South Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans lies the continent of Antarctica. Admiral Byrd hoisted the American Flag on its pole in 1929. To the east of Coronado Heights one must travel more than twenty-four hours by car to reach New York, some- thing that would have been considered a miracle by the pioneers. In 1927, Charles Lindberg crossed the Atlantic in his airplane, The Spirit of St. Louis, in 33M hours. Today it is casually crossed in Boeing 747's in a few hours. lf one continues east from Paris he must traverse Eruope, the Ukraine, The Soviet Union, the vast Siberian outback and face nearly twenty-four hours of air travel across the Pacific to reach the coast of California. Looking up from Coronado Heights on a clear night, one sees millions of tiny, pulsating stars set against a clark and silent space. Consider this Universal stage. Consider how truly large and vast it is. Conceive the speed of light at one hundred eightyesix thousand miles per second. At the speed of light, one and one' third seconds are necessary to reach the Moon lseveral days if traveling by con- ventional spacecraftl. Pluto, the most distant planet in our solar system, spins 3,560 million miles from the Sun. Traveling at the speed of light requires five hours to reach it. Four more years would be necessary to reach the nearest starx This star is part of the Milky Way, the galaxy to which we belong and in which we appear as something of a transparency. Continuing at eleven million miles per minute, we pass a star approxi- mately every five years. There are one hundred billion stars in the Milky Way and it takes eighty thousand years to traverse it from end to end. Beyond the periphery of our Galaxy we must travel two million additional years to reach Andromeda, our neigh- boring galaxy, The Milky Way is but one in a group of seventeen galaxies. The group to which we belong is called the Local Group. Hercules, the largest of the known groups, contains ten thousand galaxies, each with billions of stars. Three hundred million vears at the ele- ven million miles-pereminute speed, are required to reach it. There are over ten billion galaxies that man is aware of. Beyond them lies an obiectless cogni- tion.
