She has a diploma from a dressmaker's school in Famagusta, Cyprus.

Included in the KU request is an appropriation for a closed-circuit television operation on the campus and $558,774 for a library wing for the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The appropriation is nearly 27 per cent more than the $17,711,995 appropriated from the state general fund for the schools for the current fiscal year.
Regents Secretary Hubert Brighton said soaring enrollments, larger faculties and employe salary increases were the main reasons for the higher budget requests.
In addition, the regents will seek $1,019,774 in appropriations from the state educational building fund for non-dormitory construction on the campuses during fiscal 1957.
The breakdown: (school, amount asked, current one-year appropriation increase):
The largest increase over the amount granted by this year's legislature is $1,005,065 for Kansas State.
University of Kansas—$7,375,227,

Air Crash Toll Worst In History
LARAMIE, Wyo.—(U.P.)—A U-nited Air Lines DC-4 was within its normal flight pattern when it smashed into 12,005-foot Medicine Bow Peak yesterday, killing all 66 persons aboard. It was the nation's worst civil aviation disaster.
Among the dead were Dr. Lawrence V. Devine, Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Grace Brown about 60, Luray, Kan., and her son, Dale, 35, of Honolulu, Hawaii.
Mrs. Brown had never flown in an airplane because she was afraid of them.
But her son, had "been after her for years" to come live with him for about a year in Hawaii, friends said today.
Inspectors of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, seeking the cause of the accident, joined University of Wyoming alpinists at the crash site early this morning while wind-whipped ground blizzards shrouded the remains of the victims and the plane in deep snow.
Fulbright Group Names Sandelius
Dr. Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, was named yesterday as a member of a Kansas committee on Fulbright scholarships.
Dr. Clifton B. Huff of Emporia State College was named to head the seven-member committee along with six other Kansas educators and citizens. They will meet in November to consider recommendations of students from Kansas schools for the honor.
