Two grants for Greeks offered by Panhellenic
Two scholarships for the 1979-1977 school year are being offered by KU's Panhellenic Association to any male or undergraduate in the Greek system.
The scholarships will be awarded for extracurricular activities and scholastic achievement, Linda Pfastener, Panhellenic president, said Friday.
She said they would be honorary scholarships awarded without consideration of financial need.
The recipients of the award, one male and one female, will each receive in-state tuition for one semester of their choice during the 1976-1977 school year.
The funds for the scholarship,
PhLasterear said, will be taken from interest drawn on money Panhellenic has inwarded to the University Endowment Association.
Scholarship recipients will be chosen by the Panellinic Executive Board and four other members of Panhellenic, who come from different houses, Pflaster said.
Applications are available from all fraternity and sorority house presidents and at the dean of women's office. They may also be sent to the dean of women's office tomorrow.
Two well-known pianists to be artists-in-residence
Gary Graffman and Byron Janis, internationally known pianists, will be artists-in-residence at the University of Kansas in August. He is a member of the School of Fine Arts, said Friday.
Graffman will teach and perform at KU during the fall semester, and Janis will be available.
"The artist-in-residence program at the University of Kansas has already brought national attention to the piano program here." Moeser said.
The program began last spring, financed in part by J. Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business, to honor his former college graduate, 91-year-old J. W. Johnson, of Sidney, Neb.
Moeser one result of the program was an increase in piano students coming to
THE FIRST RESIDENT artist at KU was Malcolm Fringe, an internationally renowned sculptor.
Micha Dichter, an American pianist who has performed throughout Europe, Japan, Israel, South and Central America and the United Union, is the current KU resident artist.
"In Byron Janis and Gary Graffman, two pianists of international accompanion, the program will continue along the path of Moerer built in its initial year." Moerer said.
Graftman began his career at 18 with the Philadelphia Orchestra and soon afterwards performed in Carnegie Hall, as the national Rachmaninov winner. A year later, he won the Leventtin Competition. Sergei Rachmaninov was a Russian composer who spent the latter century. The Leventtin Competition for pianists and violinists began in 1939 and is named for Edgar M. Leventtin, New York lawyer and music patron.
GRAFFMAN MADE his first world tour in 1958 after a year's study abroad on a Fulbright Fellowship and study in the United States under Vladimir Horowitz, an internationally known Russian pianist, and Rudolf Serkin, a Bohemian pianist known primarily as an international recital performer.
Janis is considered in the music world to be an expert on Chopin. He gave his first violin recital at age 18.
He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1948 and has had an active recording career.
Janis gave the first American performances in Russia of the Ghrison W piano Concerto and the Aaron Copland Piano Sonata. George Ghrison was an American composer, writer and stage and film music. Aaron Copland is an American composer and conductor.
Poet Michael McClure featured at SUA Poetry Series April 28
Michael McClure, poet and playwright,
will read from some of his works April 28 for
the last program in this semester's SUA
Poetry Series.
McCure is described by Karl Malkoff in "Crowell's Handbook of Contemporary American Poetry" as a member of the group of "Beat Generation" poets working in New York and San Francisco during the late '40s and early '50s.
"One characteristic usually associated with the Beat writers is the exploration of areas of experience—sexual and spiritual," she explained, "only remained untouched." Malkoff says.
McClure's poetry expresses his belief that man has a openness with the universe and
that the poet must write not only from his consciousness but also out of the entire world.
His poetry reflects the mood of strain and commitment prevalent in America during the period marked by "Beat Generation" poetry.
Mclure, who was born in Marysville in 1932, is also recognized as a playwright.
His play, "The Beard," ran in New York during 1967 and 1968. The plot deals with the acquaintanceship of a movie sex goddess and gets married into a relationship of hostile sexuality.
McClure will appear at 8 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The University of Kansas uses a variety of programs to appeal to the interests of potential students. The Office of Admissions method of attracting students to the campus.
Admissions office seeks students
John Myers, director of admissions, said last week that students were attracted to KU by its academic programs, its special programs and its staffing staff, its students and its graduates.
The reputations of many of the schools and the departments at the University, Myers said, are what attract students to KU.
One program that draws students from Missouri is a Kansas-Missouri reciprocity agreement. Under this agreement, Missouri students may study such fields as forestry and mining at MU. The two state universities and other "accredited studies, Myers said.
SOME OF THE CAMPUS programs that attract high school students to KU are camps in music, art, journalism and basketball.
"The word recruiting carries negative connotations. It sounds as if students are being recruited."
"These camps were set up as academic programs not recruiting programs,"
Some efforts, though, are made by the
Myers estimated that in a year's time the staff would make more than 200 trips to areas offering potential students. Most of the trips, he said, are college day programs for students from several high schools and representatives from many colleges.
admissions office to draw students to the University. The office has a staff of about six, which does admissions counseling in office and at schools in and out of the state.
Most of the trips are made within the state but other areas that are visited include Kansas City, Mo. St. Louis, St. Joseph, Omaha and Chicago. Mvsers said.
ALL STAFF MEMBERS, he lives on campus and have office responsibilities in the area of orientation programs, ad-hoc events and other benefits, community colleges and records.
"We are not recruiters or salesmen," Mvers said.
The work at the admissions office tends to follow a pattern. In the fall the staff does most of its traveling and in the winter most of its appointments come to the University for assistance.
Vistors to the campus in the spring take a large part of the admission counselor's time. Martha Coffman-Gallagher, admissions office secretary, said about 150 to 200 people to the office for help. She said the counselor would talk to them and plan their visits.

A TYPICAL SCHEDULE for a visitor to campus might include admissions counseling, visits to classrooms and with a student in the campus and a conference about housing.
During the summer the office is busy with
orientation programs for new students and the process continues the following fall.
