KU Research Aid Increases
Research at the University of Kansas is booming.
Figures show that the University received grants for nearly $4 million for research and graduate training programs related to research on the Lawrence campus during the 1962-63 academic year. This represented an increase of more than 20% over 1961-62.
Since 1945, when the value of university research to the nation and to the state and community began to achieve increasing understanding, KU has received grants for more than $21 million in sponsored, projects on the Lawrence campus.
This $21 million was received for research conducted without cost to the state and funded entirely from outside sources; it does not include $400,000 in research funds provided by legislative appropriations, the $600,000-a-year activities of the State Geological Survey, or the approximately $312 million is sponsored research at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City.
Two non-physical sciences have made impressive showings; psychology has received more than $112 million, and zoology, more than $114 million. Physics and astronomy have received nearly as much. Anatomy and bacteriology both have received more than $1 million.
By far the greatest amount of sponsored research is catalyzed by the department of chemistry, which has received more than $3^{1/4}$ million since 1945.
Other large sums have been received for research in electrical engineering, approaching $1 million, entomology, which has passed $34 million, and child research, which is approaching that figure. Geology and pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry are well past $1^2$ million, as is the total of interdepartmental projects. Radiation biophysics, physiology, biochemistry, and the University in general are at or approaching one-half million.
Largest grant totals for the past year are chemistry with more than $600,000, zoology and mathematics with more than $300,000, physics and astronomy, child research, comparative biochemistry and physiology, and bacteriology with more than $200,000, and electrical engineering, the College, the University, pharmaceutical chemistry, entomology, and romance languages, with more than $100,000.
CWENS Will Aid Freshman Women
RECORDS
The day is past when freshmen flounder unguided through the initial week—even their first semester—at KU.
Beside fleeting advice from parents, academic information from Faculty as well as student advisors, freshman women are being introduced to the social and cultural activities of the University by sophomore women.
Dressed in red wool shifts bearing the emblem of the crown and scepter, the 49 members of the KU chapter of the National Society of CWENS will be hostesses today at their annual buffet at Corbin and G.S.P. dormitories.

KAY LUTJEN, CWEN president and Des Moines sophomore, said that the purpose of the buffet is to acquaint freshman women informally before classes begin.
Following the buffet in the G.S.P.-Corbin parking lot, will be the traditional rally with the KU cheerleaders and dance.
THROUGHOUT the year the two CWENS assigned to each floor in the freshman halls will participate informally in dormitory activities, said Mrs. Kala Stroupe, CWEN advisor and an assistant to the Dean of Women.
After an organizational meeting Saturday, the CWENS began helping with orientation by greeting the new women students and their parents as they moved into freshman hall's Sunday and Monday.
"In the past, CWENS have taken the girls on their floor to cultural functions such as University Theatre productions and have given parties for hall officers as part of their activities," she said.
