Burzle Cites Study Grants For Abroad
KU students wishing to study abroad stand a good chance of receiving scholarships, Prof. J. A. Burzle, Fulbright Program advisor; and head of the department of Germanic language, said yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Burzle explained the opportunities for obtaining scholarships for foreign study to a group of about 100 students in Fraser Theatre.
"IN THE LAST ten years, we have had about 300 students abroad on scholarships," said Prof. Burzle. "This is far more than our share."
H named four large programs in which KU students can participate:
- fulbright-Hays award, established by Congress in 1948. Since then, 126 students and 62 faculty members from KU have participated in the program.
- Marshall Scholarships, established by Great Britain, for students wishing to study there, in honor of American assistance in World War II.
- Rotary Foundation grants, given by Rotary International.
- Ford Foundation fellowships for graduate training in the social sciences in Asia, the Near East, Eastern Europe or Africa.
- KU exchange scholarships, maintained with five European universities.
Dr. Burze said the Fulbright-Hays scholarship were started because of war debts owed the United States. Many countries could not repay the debts in cash, he said, but instead offered credit for spending inside the countries.
The one-year scholarship provides for transportation, language or orientation courses, tuition, books and incidental expenses.
The main requirement for a Fulbright grant is a bachelor's degree. Language proficiency and high grade averages are not always the determining factors in receiving foreign scholarships, Dr. Burzle said.
"I doubt that we've ever sent a 3.0 student abroad from here. To begin with, they are rare birds. Also, they are not always the ones who should go, because often they are too bookish and not able to mingle well with people.
"A scholarship to England would require an average of 2.3 or 2.5, because more students want to go there than to Italy, where a 2.1 average may be insufficient."

To grow bigger pearls, the Japanese are feeding antibiotics to oysters. A Japaneses affiliate of American Cynamid Co. developed an oyster feed called "Pearl-up" that is supposed to raise the Pearl yield by 30 per cent. It contains aureomycin chytrolctiline.
Chinese Art Exhibit To Open Oct. 3 in KC
A collection of Chinese art and decorative penmanship will be exhibited at the Nelson Art Gallery beginning Oct. 3.
Its 83 paintings and writings date from the 10th to 18th centuries.
Dr. Max Loer, professor of Oriental art at Harvard University, will lecture in Atkins Auditorium in the Gallery as part of the exhibition opening.
The collection, owned by John N. Crawford of New York, is the most extensive privately owned collection of this type.
Laurence Sickman, director of the Nelson Art Gallery, says that the nearest comparison in Western art would be an exhibition of the Old Master works that give pleasure in proportion to the amount of concentration one can devote to them.
Dominican Republic Junta Declares State of Seige
SANITO DOMINGO Dominican Republic (UPD)—The new Civilian Junta in its first official acts today legalized a state of siege-modified Martial Law—and a 6 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew throughout the country.
United Press International
Small-scale street disorders continued into the night yesterday. At least four persons were injured in the scuffling.
The two measures originally were imposed by the military men who toppled the Juan Bosch regime earlier this week.
SHOTS WERE fired in Independence Square during the early hours last night and forced a temporary rereouting of traffic.
Police disclosed they held ex-Gen. Andres Rodrigue Mende and Col. Polanco Alegria, both pilots, under arrest in the palace as well as Bosch and eight members of his cabinet. The charges against the air force officers were not disclosed but it was assumed they opposed the coup.
Public works activity appeared suspended and police picked and questioned, then released 15 engineers presumed suspected of dragging their feet on government projects.
Mrs. Bosch, who arrived yesterday from San Juan, P.R., where she has been a guest of Puerto Rican Gov. Luis Muno Marin complained to newsmen she was not permitted to visit her husband. However, Bosch's
niece, Milagros Orti Bosch, saw him yesterday.
MISS ORTI complained today police had entered her home—she is her uncle's private secretary—and had gone over records of the government-directed worker's confederation.
New President Emilio De Los Santos, meanwhile, told the nation in a radiocast last night that his government would respect fully all of its international obligations and seek to strengthen its ties with other countries of the western hemisphere.
He expressed approval of the U.S. alliance for progress and pledged his government's adherence to its principles.
City's History Traced In KU Library History
The Lawrence room of Watson Library, like many others, is temporarily vacant.
And its contents like those of other torn-up rooms are spread throughout the library. But these contents are different than the rest.
Unlike other rooms in Watson, the Lawrence Room is not for reading studying or research. It is mainly for browsing.
INITIATED by Miss Carrie Watson, a former librarian whom the library was named in 1923 and Miss Mary Maude Smelser, librarian until 1953, the room, when intact, tells in photographs, paintings and artifacts the early history of Lawrence and Kansas.
After a new coat of plaster and another coat of paint the Lawrence Room, with the help of Miss Laura Neiswanger, former guide and authority on the history of Lawrence, will once again display Kansas history.
Presently some historic pieces and art works are being shown in the cases on both sides of the second floor lobby.
The story of Amos A Lawrence who, as Treasurer of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, helped
get settlers out to Kansas and who gave the original endowment for KU, will be there.
THE COLLECTION gives a vivid account of Lawrence when the first settlers came in 1854. At this time there was not one white settlement in Kansas or Nebraska and the land was still in possession of Indians. Sioux, Dakota, Otto, Osage, Shawnee, Delaware, Wyandotte, and of course Kansas Indians living in the area.
ONE OF THE most interesting of these was Gen. Hugh Cameron, a hermit and lived in the woods surrounding Lawrence. The story goes that Gen. Cameron, who was an officer in the Civil War, went into seclusion after an unfortunate love experience. His reason for being a recluse was not discovered until after his death in 1909, at the age of 82.
A Civil War cannon named Old Sacramento, that was used by Pro-Slavery forces in Lawrence masacre in 1856 and later by Free-state men against Missourians is also exhibited in the Lawrence Room.
All of the artifacts and books in the room were donated by friends and alumni
