Around the Campus Aid Deadline Nears
A number of qualified students at KU each year pass up opportunities to obtain exchange scholarships for study in Europe, according to KU's Fulbright secretary.
Applications for these scholarships must be filed by tomorrow in Room 306 of Fraser Hall.
Mrs. Maja Thywissen, secretary for the Fulbright program said many students fail to apply for the scholarship simply because, in her opinion, there are common misconceptions regarding the difficulties involved in obtaining the study grants.
The scholarships are made available through a system of direct exchanges of students between the United States and the European countries which have schools participating in the program. These countries include France, Great Britain, Germany and Switzerland.
"Many people," Mrs. Thywissen said, "hesitate to apply for the scholarships after having experience with the complicated forms required for the Fulbright scholarships. Actually the procedure for obtaining a direct exchange scholarship is very simple.
The scholarships are open to anyone who is presently a KU graduate or expects to graduate this spring.
Controversial Film to Be Shown
The film "Communist Encirclement-1961" will be shown at the SUA Minority Opinions Forum at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
It is the motion picture version of the controversial filmstrip "Communism on the Map," and is distributed by the National Education Program at Harding College, Searcy, Ark.
Military installations have banned the film because of the controversies which have arisen over the presentation of material in the film.
The John Birch Society frequently sponsors showings of this film.
At the University of Wisconsin, over 90 faculty members signed a statement pointing out what they considered inaccuracies in the film.
Drug Effects to Be Discussed
The effects of stimulating drugs on the mind will be studied by Edward Smissman, professor of pharmacy, at the PBOAE lecture at 7:30 p.m. today in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union.
Prof. Smissman said he plans to discuss the various drugs and their effect on the depression or elation of the mind.
Prof. Smissman said it is a subject that students are interested in, since relatively little is known about it.
Colonel to Discuss Military Aid
Col. Max L. Pitney, professor of Military Science at KU, will speak on "The U.S. Military Assistance Program in Latin America as practiced in Paraguay" at the Faculty Forum, at 12 noon tomorrow in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
Before coming to KU, Col. Pitney was commander of the U.S. Army and Air Force missions in Paraguay, responsible for training Paraguayan armed forces and implementing the U.S.military assistance program.
His other tours of duty have included World War II in the Pacific Theater, and serving in the Philippines, Oklahoma, Colorado, the Pentagon and Venezuela.
