the trainees worked was
pleasant, friendly, and chal

from James Pazynski of
Marinette, Wisconsin, and
Donna Alexander of Schaller,
Iowa, written soon after they
arrived in Colombia.
Miss Alexander, working in
home economics at Manizales,
wrote enthusiastically of the
caliber of people with whom
they had to work and their
willingness to aocept help.
She added that the corps was
both a source of challenge
and satisfaction.

Week's Thame Set:
As Others See You
Associated Women Students
(AWS) Standards Week will
be held Jan. 13-16, with
the orientation dessert held
tonight.
Standards Week is a new
program sponsored by 'AWS,
the women's governing body
of the University to help make
University women more
aware of the standards of
dress, etiquette, morals and
conduct.
"As Others See You" is the
theme of Standards Week.
The theme of Standards Week
is to reflect how women stu
dents are seen by all campus
students, faculty and person
nel. Featured speaker at tomor
row's orientation dessert, will
be Mrs. Frank Morrison. Her
topic will be How the Com
munity Looks at the Universi
ty Woman.
Helen Snyder, dean of wom
en, will also speak at the
orientation dessert. Her
speech will be on standards
in general.
Guests at the orientation
dessert will include Mrs. Mor
rison, AWS advisers, board
members, representatives
from each living unit, work
ers, and the standards chair
men from each living unit.
Standards Week will start
Mondsry with alum night.

and conduct in each living

quette night with each living
unit using different themes
and ideas during dinner.

at all living units.
AWS Board members are
assigned to a particular liv
ing unit for- the week to co
ordinate activities with stand
ards chairman. Co-chairmen
of Standards Week are Diane
Moody Williams and Susie
Ayres.
But others believe just as strongly that "federaliza
tion and centralization of education are destructive and
must be halted." Paul Friggens reports the pros and cons
of the situation in a January READER'S DIGEST article,
"Federal Aid to Education: Boon or Bane?"
He finds most of the money is spent for "costly,
mushrooming government-sponsored research" that "lures
many of our best teachers away from the classrooms
. . . thus undergraduate education is devalued, and a good
many youngsters are shortchanged in their education.
Faculty members receiving grants switch full or
part-time to the federal payroll and report on their project
to somebody in a government agency. "A University's con
trol over its own destiny has been substantially reduced,"
says president Clark Kerr of the University of California,
"Projects are duplicative and uncoordinated," writes
Friggens, "extravagance and waste abound . . . since the
great bulk ... is being poured into research for national
defense, health and space. This is creating dangerous im
balance in our academic programs."
To withstand the dangers implicit In federal involve
ment, President Robert F. Goheen of Princeton warns,
we must have greater private support of education. One
proposal is for tax credits. A taxpayer could in effect
pay part of his income tax up to $100 directly to a col
lege or university of his choice.
Many schools now maintain Washington offices or rep
resentatives to seek grants. John A. Howard, president
of Rockford College in Illinois, calls the clamor for fed
eral funds a "stampede to disaster" and insists that the
federal programs destroy institutional initiative, stifle di
versity and exert undue controL ,
Howard's college is pushing an 18 million-dollar ex
pansion program without federal funds. For similar rea
sons, Brigham Young University at Provo, Utah, has re
jected more than three million dollars in federal aid in
the last five years.

A motion recommending
that the regular school year

yesterday. This would allow
classes to dismiss earlier in

Early one morning this
week a tired sleepy-eyed stu
dent stumbled toward h i s
eight o'clock class to continue
sleeping. As he shuffled along
he happened to glance at the
south entrance of the Union
where upon his eyes blinked
in disbelief. For there, in front
of the Union, stood the inter
campus bus, not green as
city buses are, but bright red,
Numerous students surely ex
perienced similar awaken
ings. According to Carl Donald
son, University business man
ager the bus was painted red
because of student opinion.
Curtis Siemers, coordinator
of student activities, said,
"The students wanted the bus
painted red since it was go
ing to be used for inter-campus
runs and also to carry
University groups."
The bus was painted over
Christmas vacation and was
used even before school
started. The band and foot
ball team were meet at the
airport by the red bus when
they returned. The decoration
of the bus is not yet com
pleted because there are
plans to put gold lettering on
the bus. The side of the bus
will also be used for banners
and signs.
The paint was paid for by

A motion calling for a man

Since it was an amendment
to the by-laws it will not be
voted on until next Wednes

will be added to the Univer

to the campus."

"This would tend to make
the council elections less of
a popularity contest and
would insure that elected rep
resentatives have a sincere
interest in Council," said
Thorn.
He pointed out that this test
would be mandatory for both
college and organizational
representatives.
"It would not be such a
difficult test that anyone with
a sincere desire couldn't pass
it," he said. He pointed out
that four of the Big Eight

A questionable on represen

for students to make their
own suggestions.
Baer also announced that
Council associates will visit
some organizations not rep

such organizations will be
chosen.
"This will give these organ

he said. Two associates will
