Extension Serves All The Division of Extension carries new knowledge to all Kansas. Agricultural agents, home demonstra- tion agents, and 4-H workers extend the classroom to every Kansas county, spreading knowledge through newspaper articles, demonstrations, radio talks, and personal visits. Dealing mostly with agri- culture and home economics, they aim to give Kan- sans the latest research results, techniques, and scientific information. Extension Service is supported by federal, state, and county funds. A new section, general extension, was added this year with Carl Tjerandsen as di- rector. Correspondence courses from the extension division are offered in many subjects, and students in Kansas, other states, and several foreign countries are enrolled. The new head of the home study division is Herbert Maccoby. EXTENSION HEADS— TOP ROW: W. G. Amstein, agricultural specialist; Harry C. Baird, district agent; Frank 0. Blecha, district agent; John M.

I i 1 Merlin Dennis, agricultural administration senior from Kensington, acts as chief justice, or chancel- lor of the Tribunal. The chancellor is appointed each year by the President from among the stu- dent justices. K-Staters Settle Their Own Disputes Hearing disciplinary and traffic cases is the job of the Tribunal. Most of the cases involve traffic tickets and parking violations. Trials can be open to the public, if the person being tried requests or agrees. The Tribunal is the judicial branch of student government and consists of six student and three faculty justices, ap- pointed by the President from nominations submitted by each school council. Infractions of K-State rules and other cases come to the Tribunal from the Dean of Students ' office or through the attorney general. Anyone can refer a case to the Tribunal through one of these sources. Tribunal decisions are sub- mitted to President McCain for his approval. The Tribunal decisions are administered by the Dean of Students ' office, and printed in The Collegian. The chancellor is Merlin Dennis. Byron Bird is attorney general.
