Fulbright Scholarships Open For Graduate Study Abroad
All students interested in graduate study under the Fulbright act of 1953-54 who have not applied for a grant may make application now, according to Prof. J. A. Burzle, campus Fulbright adviser.
Competition officially closes Oct. 31, but all physical examinations must be taken at Watkins hospital by Oct. 15.
Eligibility requirements are: U.S. citizenship, a college degree or its equivalent at the time award is to be taken up, knowledge of the language of the country sufficient to carry on the proposed study, and good health.
Selection is made on the basis of the applicant's personal qualifications, academic record, value of the proposed study or research, and suitability for placement in an institution of higher learning abroad. Preference is given those who have not had previous foreign residence or study in the country for which they are applying and those under 35 years of age.
The awards, granted for an academic year, cover transportation, expenses of a language refresher or orientation course abroad, tuition, books, and maintenance in one of the 25 foreign countries. The scholarships vary in value from $500 to $1,200 depending upon to which country the grantee goes.

Top Grad Instructor To Get Expenses
An incentive for better instruction in laboratory classes has been provided this year in the chemistry department, Prof. R. Q. Brewster, chairman, said today.
A special fund has been made available to pay the expenses of the best graduate student lab instructor to this year's national meeting of the American Chemical society, Prof. Brewster explained.
No Increase In Union Fees Planned Here
As long as the University enrollment is more than 6,000 students there will be no increase in the $5 Union fee.
Karl Klooz, bursar, made the statement today after learning that the state board of regents meeting in Topeka Friday accepted a request from Kansas State college to hike the Union fees there from $7 to $5.00 a semester, beginning Sept. 1, 1953.
The request for the increase in fees was made by K-State president, James A. McCain. The new fees will be used to help pay off revenue anticipation bonds which probably will be issued to finance construction of the new $1,500,000 student union building.
"The way the revenue anticipation bonds will be paid off on our new Union is on the basis of 6,000 students at $5 a semester," said Klooz.
As to KU, Klooz said despite the fact that we are now engaged in finishing construction on a $1,750,000 addition to the Memorial Union the fees will not have to be increased at present.
"As long as we have 6,000 fee-paying students on the campus we will be able to meet the payments. When the enrollment is higher than 6,000 the extra fees can be used for maintenance.
Auditions for the University Theater will be held tonight and through out this week from 6 to 10 p.m. in Fraser auditorium. Tryouts will be for actors, singers and technicians, needed for all theater productions during the 1952-53 season.
Anyone interested may register not later than today in 202 Fraser for an audition.
