P-t-P Ambassadors See Wall. Hitler Kin
By Charlie Corcoran
Seventeen KU students traveled to Europe under a People-to-People program last summer hoping to broaden their educational horizons. They got much more than they expected.
Bill Frick, Kansas City senior; went to Linz, Austria, Adolph Hitler's birthplace, on the job exchange program.
"I worked in a steel factory and met a man who I was told was the son of Hitler's sten-sister. Frick said."
"I knew him only as Herr Rabel, but there was little doubt in my mind that he was Hitler's nephew. He looked amazingly like him and lacked only his uncle's magnetic eyes. He spoke with the most vibrant, masculine voice that I have ever heard."
PATSY PRICE, Bartlesville, Okla. senior, spent her summer traveling through Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Holland as a P-t-P student ambassador.
"I wanted to be on my own so that I wouldn't be tempted to speak English. German will be either a minor or a second major for me in the School of Education and I needed to have no alternative but to speak it," she said. "I came back almost unable to think in English."
Sam Evans, Salina junior, worked in Dornbirn, Austria, in a paper mill's bookkeeping department.
"I'm a business major and had hoped to learn more about business practices overseas," he said.
"I ALSO HAD an opportunity to spend a few days in Berlin where I saw the Wall. The family I staved with pointed out a spot on the Wall where an East German soldier was shot and left to die when he attempted to cross to the West. It would be pretty difficult for anyone not to learn anything from such an experience," he said.
Mary Moreozzo, Council Grove junior, traveled with a group of seven other girls through Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy.
"One night we crossed through Checkpoint Charlie into East Berlin. It was amazing to see the streets deserted early in the evening and trolley cars running with only the conductor and ticket-taker aboard," she said.
"Seeing the American flag at the border gives them hope in the future," she said.
"I had a chance to speak to an East Berliner who asked me why I had come to the city. I told him that I wanted to see the difference between Democracy and Communism, but he hardly waited to listen.
"He wanted to know all about the western sector of the divided city and the United States. He told me that many West Berliners have faith that someday things will change.
"WHILE I SPOKE to him three vopos (East German soldiers) came up behind me. I, of course, didn't see them and when he abruptly started to talk about Khrushchev's visit I was puzzled.
"Then I saw the soldiers behind
Quack Club To Hold Swim Clinic Tuesday
Quack Club will provide a clinic and supervised practices to prepare its prospective members for the club's swimming tryouts next month.
Attendance at the clinic is required for all women interested in joining the synchronized swimming club. The clinic will be held from 7 to 9 p.m., next Tuesday in the Robinson pool.
Mariann Herndon, Kansas City junior and vice-president of Quack Club, said that the clinic will explain the club's functions and provide information about tryouts. Demonstrations of required tryout stunts and a swimming performance will be given. The prospective members will have an opportunity to swim, also.
Practices on Sept. 26 and Oct. 1 will prepare new swimmers for the trvouts Oct. 3 and Oct. 8.
More information on the Quack Club may be obtained from the president, Diane Larson, Kansas City sophomore, or the club adviser, Miss Barbara Hobson.
me and knew the value of our freedom."
Lance Burr, Salina junior, worked in Ortmann, Austria, in a textile factory where he earned $12 a week.
"Instead of traveling all over, we who went over on the P-t-P job exchange program thought that we could learn more about the people of Austria if we stayed in one place," he said.
English Proficiency Exam Offered Oct.10
The English proficiency examination will be given at 7 p.m., Oct. 10. The examination was previously announced as, Oct. 11.
Also, several enrollment cards for the test contain a typographical error which says the test will be given Oct. 1.
Two schools were omitted from the Kansan's list of schools requiring the examination to be passed before graduation. They are the schools of business and medicine (including nursing).
Other schools requiring the examination are education, fine arts, journalism, architecture and engineering.
Students who have not enrolled may do so at the registrar's office in Strong Hall, Sept. 23-28.
Aids Program Helps Finance 1.000 Students
Financing a college education is a serious problem to many KU students and their parents.
Aiding deserving students who require financial assistance is the job of the office of aids and awards in Strong Hall. There aid may be obtained through scholarships, loans, and part-time employment.
EACH YEAR the University helps provide over 1,200 scholarships totaling $500,000. About 1700 scholarship applications were received this fall by the aids office, Robert Billings, director of the aids program said. Over 1,000 academic scholarships amounting to $350,-000 and 200 athletic grants totaling $165,000 were awarded for this year.
Selection of scholarship recipients by committees of faculty members depends upon each student's interest in attending KU, his academic record, financial need and participation in the school and community.
Students seeking scholarship hall awards, general scholarships or scholarships awarded by schools and departments should apply at the aids office.
Another means of financing a college education is the loan program administered by the aids office and the KU Endowment Association. The two made 4,500 loans totaling more than a million dollars to about 2,500 students last year. Short-term loans and long-term loans are available at three percent interest rate.
THE DEADLINE for filing scholarship applications for fall and spring semesters, 1964-65, is Feb. 15, 1964.
Under the National Defense Student loan program, the government grants loans on a competitive basis. Special consideration is given to students who plan to enter the field of education.
The office of aids and awards maintains an employment bureau to help men students find part-time and summer jobs. A similar service for women is available through the Office of the Dean of Women.
