Five Groups Offer Study Abroad
Sophomores at K.U. in liberal arts, fine arts, or social science may study broad during their junior year and receive full credit.
Smith college, Northampton, Mass,
has announced programs for study
in four countries under the "Juni-
lor Year Abroad" program. Sopho-
mores meeting certain requirements
may study during their junior year
in Mexico, France, Switzerland, or
Italy.
Four other institutions offer studies in three countries. The American Council on College Study in Switzerland sponsors study in Basel and Zurich, Switzerland. The German Junior year sponsors study in Munich, Germany. Rosary college, River Forest, Ill., sponsors study in Fribourg, Switzerland. Sweet Briar college, Sweet Briar, Va., sponsors study in Paris, France.
Candidates for junior year study in Mexico must be planning to take either a Spanish or Latin-American major in the last two years of college and must have met the prerequisite of at least two years' study in Spanish. By official permission, majors in other departments may be admitted. Twenty candidates will be chosen.
The fee for the current year is $1.600. This does not include traveling expenses. The year begins officially Oct. 1. One month for orientation is spent in some small Mexican city. During this time, students lives with carefully selected families and attend classes planned to increase their proficiency in the
language. All courses will emphasize the study of the cultural contributions of Mexico.
Every effort will be made to have students live with French families.
The junior year in France offers an opportunity to study French literature and civilization through direct contact with the country, its people, teachers, and leaders in various fields. The curriculum will include courses in French language and literature, history, philosophy, political science, and art.
Throughout October intensive instruction in the French language will be provided under special tutors at the University of Grenoble. The whole plan is supervised by a member of the French department of Smith college.
A limited group of students will be chosen for junior year study in Geneva, Switzerland. Candidates must be sophomores planning to major in social science with emphasis upon international studies. They must have met prerequisites for those major subjects and College requirements for the first two years
Candidates must be sophomores with two years of college French. Majors in other fields with adequate preparation in the French language may apply on consent of the department of the major.
For the year 1949-50 they were $1,600. This covers living expenses (housing and food), tuition, tutors, and special lectures, maintenance of headquarters, and library fees. All travel expenses are extra.
Women sophomore students, with a minimum of twelve hours of college Italian or its equivalent, may join the junior study group in Italy at the University of Florence.
The academic year at the University of Florence opens in November. The curriculum includes study in history of Italian literature, political history of Italy, history of Italian art, and a language course, all especially arranged to meet American college requirements. Majors can also be arranged in art, music, or history.
Eniwetok Tests May Result In Atomic Shells
Sweet Briar college offers a junior year in France. This program is open to men and women students who are recommended by their college or university. Two years of pre-college French, two years of college French of "B" grade, and a minimum general academic average of "C" is required of candidates.
Washington (U.P.)—An Official predicted that next month's test explosions at Eniwetok will bring atomic warheads for shells and missiles closer to the production stage.
He also voiced the opinion that they will speed perfection of A-bombs compact and light enough to be delivered by fighter-bombers And carrier planes.
This official doubted that the first series of atomic blasts in the new test program will involve the H-bomb. He did not, however, rule out the possibility that the first field test of the H-bomb's feasibility may be held at the mid-Pacific proving ground this summer.
Meanwhile, it was understood that the air force is putting several different kinds of planes, including the six-jet B-47 bombers, through drop tests with dummy bombs of the same weight and size as the projected new A-bombs.
Students may get information from Neale Carman, professor of romance languages, or Dr. J. A. Burzle, chairman of the University committee for the Junior Year Abroad.
These tests, paralleling the Eniwetok explosion experiments, are to determine the ballistic properties of the new weapons for bomb-sight purposes.
As the atomic energy commission has disclosed, the Enivetok operations will include "a major project" for getting new information about what atomic blasts do to buildings and materials of all kinds.
There are more cars per capita on the campus now than in 1949. campus police found out by a recent traffic count.
More Cars At KU Now Than In'49
The count was taken 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after the hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the corner of Jayhawk drive and Mississippi street. Archie Dumas and Joe Skillman, campus policemen took the count by standing on the corner and punching a palm-size tally machine every time a car passed.
The campus police have taken this count for several years. In 1929 cars counted at the corner numbered 3,204, and this year 3,102 cars were tallied.
"Because of the lowered enrollment, this means that there are more cars per student now than in 1949," said Mr. Dumas. There has been an enrollment drop of 2,311 students on the campus since 1949, according to the registrar.
A target "city" of different designs of structures and shelters has been erected on one of Eniwetok atoll's coral islands for this aspect of the tests, it was reported.
US Needs Grads Says K-State Head
Later on in the spring or summer it is expected that underground atomic explosions will be set off to provide precise measurement of the quake-like blows such blasts deliver to heavy buildings.
Lawrence, Kan. — (U.P.) Dr. James A. McCain, president of Kansas State college, believes America's security can best be served on both a short and long basis by the uninterrupted flow of graduates from the nation's colleges.
That was his theme Monday in speaking before 500 delegates to a district Rotary conference.
Dr. McCain said the schools of higher education are important to national security in three ways: they develop skills and abilities of men needed by the armed services; they train men for technical and scientific industries essential in wartime; and they sharpen qualities of intellect and personality which make leaders and good citizens.
