Dean Merk Hobson, who is working on the committee, explained that right now it is a matter of researching to find whether the living-learning concept would he more ef fective than the present sysiera of dormitory living. The livteg-leariiing concept means that a group of stu dents from tbe same college would live and study together daring part or most of their college education.

Plans to develop inde pendent or semi-autonomous small college campuses have been launched by more than 12 major public universities. Advantages Merge The chief goal is to offer students the academic' and personal advantages of a small college environment as well as the resources of a gi ant university. The University tf Kansas began experimenting this year with a residential college program that may lead to a division of that university's man of the President's Panel on the World Food Supply. Dr. Bennett also is a mem ber of the Board of Advisors of tbe Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, the National Board of Medical Examiners, and tbe Executive Committee of the Division of Medical Sci ences of tbe National Re search Council.

He also has served as bead of Latin American Affairs for the National Acad emy of Sciences. Prior to that be was profes sor of plant pathology at Pennsylvania State Universi ty and Iowa State University. In the book 'Tamine 19-a be and co-author Paul Pad dock predict famine in many nations by 1375- including In dia, Chisa and Egypt. Since they believe the United Slates must bear pri mary responsibility for help ing relieve food shortages in other nations, but can't help tbem alL they advocate se lective aid. They use a military meta phor to classify the nations as: The dying. Nothing can be done for tbem. Don't waste time. College of Arts and Sciences Into five small colleges. Some 500 freshmen whose living and learning are being coordinated as much as pos sible are involved in this proj ect. If successful this plan may be expanded to include all freshmen and sophomores by 1968. After experimenting with the Uving-learning concept, the University of Massachu setts has decided to build a new residential college in Am herst for 5.000 students. The main emphasis will be on teaching and independent study. These are the ideas being studied by the Centennial Col lege Committee. However, The walking wounded. They 11 survive without aid. The wounded who can be saved by medical treatment Egypt and India cant be saved, they say, so dont n aste food on tbem. : Pakistan has some hopes, they say, so send them food. Libya, they say, can get along without help. All people with a special in terest in the world food cris es, including medical men. are welcome to attend the Conference .Peterson said. Faculty Number Rises The toial number of per sons engaged in teaching the "67 summer sessions is some what in excess of 630. sixty more staff members than last year, according to Frank E. Sorenson, director of Summer Sessions. The b avers it y will utilize 54 guest lectures. 1M guest fa culty and 134 graduate as sistants. Tbe majority of tbe staff holding the rank of in structor or above are teach iag full time, SoreBsoa said. Regular university faculty members are encouraged to go to other schools to leach during the summer and guest staff members are enlisted to instruct here, be said. "The purpose of this is three-fold. It helps to keep our campus from becoming too provincial in nature, it provides a more cosmopoli tan teaching environment and makes the university aware of the world through broader concepts," Sorenson ex plained.

The administration is try ing to develop a closer rela tionship with students so they won't become obscure num bers, said Miss Helen Snyder, dean of women. Rate Tapers Off "I dont believe the univer sity will become a sprawling megalopolis. We are growing at a terrific rate, but this will taper off as the university reaches a maximum size of 25.000," Dean Snyder said. Dean G. Robert Ross, in charge of student affairs, said tbe university is looking con stantly for new ways to group students in order to develop a personalized education. Tbe advantages a large uni versity may gain from small colleges are numerous, edu cators believe. Here are a few listed by the faculty com mittee at the University of Kentucky: It gives the students a sense of identity with their college, thus producing a small college atmosphere in a large university. Dormitories lose their hotel-like environment and these residence n i t s develop a feeling of academic unity. The integration of academic and residential aspects of the col lege extend education beyond tbe class room. This new concept pro motes social and intellectual interaction among students and faculty which in turn promotes educational experi mentation and innovation. are teaching classes in the political science and history departments. We also draw beavfly rpon the Lincoln pub lic school system for educa tion instructors," be men tioned. Tbe summer session ha changed the amount of activ ity in several departments. Tbe Department of Physics which offered few courses during the summer session in 2966 has a program of con siderable breadih and depth this summer, Sorenson said. Modem language are also very popular this summer. Several extra section of Spanish and French had to be added to accommodate the requests of students for these courses, be noted. Elementary education courses have a bulging en rollment, according to Sor ecscc A3- the classes pro framed were full to over flowing.
