Way Opened For Australian Fulbright Study
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Fulbright awards grantees now may study in Australia at the close of the American academic year, Dr. J. A. Burzle, chairman of the department of German and the program's director at the University, said today.
The U.S. Educational commission in Australia has agreed to accept grantees unable to arrive there for the beginning of the academic year in March. The grantees, who will start their study or research between terms in Australia, should be sufficiently qualified to surmount this handicap, Dr. Burzle said.
In the past many good candidates were deterred from making application for Australia because of a March deadline. With this change in policy, superior students in suitable fields might consider Australia rather than the United Kingdom, where opportunities are limited because of the larger number of applicants.
Dr. Burzie also announced that the U.S. Educational commission in Germany will provide 25 grants to American graduate students this year for teaching assistantships in secondary schools in the larger cities of West Germany.
Twelve hours weekly of teaching English conversation and providing information on American life are required of such graduates, who will work under the head of the English department of the German school. Tuition at the nearest university is provided as well as travel and maintenance. Qualifications are the same as those for the Fulbright awards.
Deadline for Australian applications is Oct. 15. All other Fulbright applications must be in by Oct. 31. Forms are available in 304 Fraser hall.

Premier Asks Red Control Of All Germany
Berlin —(UP)— East Germany's Red Premier Otto Grotewohl laid down today the Communist terms for reunification of Germany—a made-in-Moscow scheme for placing all Germany under the Communist voke.
1. The course of "freedom and democracy" being followed in the Soviet zone must be extended to all Germany.
His statement convinced most western observers here that if East-West talks on German unity are held, they will be fore-doomed by Red demands for creation of a Communist-dominated government.
Grotewohl's statement, issued for tomorrow's observance of the fourth anniversary of the Soviet zone's Red regime, laid down these conditions for unity:
2. Mines, the iron and steel industries and chemical industries must be taken from "German and American monopolists" and "given to the people."
3. All West German estates of more than 247 acres must be broken up and the land given to small farmers and tenants.
5. The West German tax system must be made to conform to East German "social principles."
4. American bases in West Germany will be destroyed and land confiscated for military uses distributed to farmers.
Grotewohl said his Communist regime considers it a national duty to use all its power to realize these goals.
Bid Date Set On New Dorm
Bids for construction of the first permanent men's dormitory at the University will be received Nov. 10. John A. Brown, state architect, has announced.
Construction on the dorm, a reinforced concrete structure faced with buff brick, should start about Jan. 1, Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said this morning. He estimated that it should be completed within one and a half to two years.
The building, to be 64 by 334 feet, with 51.100 square feet of floor space, will be on the east side of West Campus road at the intersection of University drive, across the road from the Delta Chi fraternity house. It will house about 200 men.
The estimated cost for the building is $715,000. Furniture, equipment, and utility services are expected to cost another $113,000. The project will be financed by revenue bonds to be retired by rental of the dormitory.
Dr. Nabih Amin Faris, professor of Arab history at the University of Beirut, Lebanon, will deliver the season's first Humanities lecture Thursday at 8 p.m. in Fraser auditorium.
The Quartetto Italiano will perform Friday, Oct. 23. The group is said to be unique in that it is the first Italian quartet since the days of the Flonzaleys to win international acclaim, and it breaks with tradition by including a girl, second violinist Elisa Pegreffi.

Chamber Music Concerts Listed
Two concerts in the Chamber Music series, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts, are scheduled this fall in Strong auditorium.
Virgil Thomson, critic of the New York Herald Tribune, has called it "the finest quartet, unquestionably, that our century has known. No other group of our time is so precise, so beautifully balanced and blended, so clean, so pure of tone, so lovely of line and phrase, so sensitive of every note and harmony."
In addition, the four musicians play without scores.
The concert Monday, Nov. 16, will be by the Pro Musica Antiqua, which has been classed by critics as among the foremost chamber music group of the day. Founded in Brussels by its director, Safford Cape, in 1933, Pro Musica Antiqua devoted itself to the study and performance of medieval and Renaissance music. The group is made up of a vocal quintet (soprano, contralto, two tenors, and baritone) and a sexet of early instruments (three viols, minstrel's harp, lute, and recorder).
Alfred Frankenstein of the San Francisco Chronicle has said, "Seldom is old music presented with such vividness, such richness, such wisdom, and technical perfection. It was all one of the most wonderful experiences of a musical lifetime."
Democrats to Picnic Friday
Dr. Faris to Open Humanities Series
The Young Democrat will sponsor a picnic beginning at 5:30 p.m. Friday in Clinton park. Members will be admitted by a show of membership cards. Non members may buy tickets at the picnic.
Dr. Firis is the first visiting professor to KU on the Rose Morgan scholarship. He is one of the world's leading Arabic scholars and is the author of more than a dozen published books in English and Arabic.
During this semester, Dr. Faris is delivering the weekly lecture series entitled "The Arab World Today."
The lecture on "The Arab Contribution to Civilization" will be open to the public.
Dr. Faris came to the United States in 1931 and began an II-year period at Princeton university as student and faculty specialist on Arabic language and literature. During World War II he was head of the Arabic desk in the overseas operations branch of the Office of War Information. He returned to the Near East in 1945 to join the University of Beirut faculty and to do extensive research on ancient Arab culture.
GOING UPHere is the artist's conception of what the new KU men's dormitory will took like. Contracts will be let Nov. 10 for the $715,000 structure, which will be finished in about two years.
- The lecture will be the 34th given since the College faculty approved the humanities program in 1947. Thirty lecturers have spoken in the series, including Dr. W. R. Agard of Wisconsin in 1948 and 1949 and Dr. Giuseppe Borgese of Chicago who gave three lectures on Dante in 1952.
Each year since 1949 the humanities committee has honored a University faculty member by inviting him to give a lecture. This year's lecturer was Prof. Frederick J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, on "The Unwritten Law and Its Writers."
Chairman of the College humanities committee is Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, and committeemen are Dr. Merrrel D. Clubb, English; Dr. William Shoemaker, romance languages; Dr. L. Robert Lind, Latin and Greek; Dr. Clifford Osborne, philosophy; Dr. Charles Realey, history; Dr. George Kreye, German, and Dr. Milton Steinhardt, music history.
Four English one-act comedies will be presented by the Studio Theater Oct. 20-23.
The plays, to be presented in the Little theater in Green hall, are Maurice Baring's "Catherine Parr," a humorous scene between Henry VIII and one of his many wives; Stanley Houghton's "Phipps," the story of a perfect butler; James Barrie's "The Twelve Pound Look," a comedy made famous by Ethel Barrymore, and J.
