Fulbright applications available
By GUELMA ANDERSON Staff Reporter
Joining the Navy is not the only way to see the world at the government's expense.
Applications for the 1984-85 Fulbright Grants, awarded to graduate students who want to study abroad, are now available at the office of Anita Herzelt, director of office and campus Fulbright adviser.
SHE SAID THAT applicants would go through a rigorous screening process by three separate committees.
She said the first committee, composed of KU professors, recommended qualified applicants to a national committee, which in turn recommended applicants to a com-
municipal country professors for final approval.
She said the committees were looking for students who displayed not only academic excellence but excellence in analytical abilities, moral values, well-roundedness and awareness of different cultures.
"This is a more intellectual grant than anything else," Herzfeld said. "The person who gets the grant must have to be educated, and could contribute to world knowledge."
THE FULBRIGHT PROGRAM is provided for by the Mutual and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961. The purpose of the program is to increase
understanding between the United States and other countries through the exchange of knowledge and skills.
For the 1984-85 competition, 670 grants are available, the majority for study in West Germany, Southeast Asia and Australia. There are 3,000 students applied for 500 grants.
Herzfeld said that of the 25 KU students who applied for Fulbright grants last year, six received grants. She said that in the past as many as 100 students had applied.
For further information on Fulbright grants or other graduate student grants, contact Herzfeld at the office of study abroad in 204 Lippincott. The deadline for Fulbright applications is Sept. 30.
Nursing students at the University of Kansas Medical Center now have the opportunity to apply for the newly established doctor of philosophy in nursing program that will begin this fall.
The Board of Regents approved the program in June 1982, but has not contacted the school about state funds, according to Rita Clifford, assistant dean of the School of Nursing and director of the Office of Student Affairs. CLIFORD SAID THAT the school also has applied to the division of nursing, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, for funds. The application will be considered in October, she said.
Nursing Ph.D classes to start
"We have not actively begun to recruit for any faculty positions because we're kind of holding off to see if
we get the grants we've applied for," Clifford said.
She said, however, that they hoped to add one faculty member for the fall semester and that the plans were to hire an additional faculty member for each of the first three years of the program.
The School of Nursing has already accepted seven of the eight students who will be admitted to the doctorate program. Clifford said school officials expected to have 24 to 30 students working on the degree by the end of three years, the length of time it takes to earn a doctorate.
CLIFFORD SAID THAT the doctorate program would prepare students for faculty positions in nursing but would be aimed primarily at research.
The curriculum for the program,
Clifford said, is divided into three
areas: nursing research; nursing theory, which is the practice of nursing, and clinical aesthetics, which deals with interpersonal relations.
Students in the program also must complete statistics courses, language requirements and a minor in an area related to the student's interests, such as psychology, education or business administration.
Clifford said that a doctorate was almost required to teach nursing and that there was a demand for nurses to do research in the field of nursing.
She said that the school started developing a nursing doctorate program five or six years ago. Planning curriculum took two and one-half years.
There are 22 nursing doctoral programs nationwide.
