Students May Study Abroad On US Grant
Students who are thinking about studying abroad may apply for a US, grant to do so under provisions of the Fulbright act.
The three basic qualifications are American citizenship, a college degree or its equivalent, and knowledge of the language of the country to be visited sufficient to carry on the proposed study or research. However, scholarships to Australia, China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom only require a knowledge of English.
Selection is made on the basis of the candidate's personal qualifications, academic record, and the value of the study or project. Competition for the scholarships are based on an examination of the candidate's applications. No formal examinations are held.
A preliminary card may be filed at any time for any country included in the provisions of the Fulbright act. However, application blanks will be sent out only on announcement of the opening of a competition for that country.
There are no limitations as to fields of study, except where announcement of a competition so specifies. The student may indicate in his application the institution of his preference.
The scholarship varies with the cost of living in each participating country. However, it is sufficient to meet normal living expenses during one year's study. It does not cover the expenses of a family, but when the student is accompanied by dependents the grant will be somewhat higher. Transportation of dependents is the responsibility of the student.
A veteran may at the same time receive benefits under both public law 346 and 584, the latter being the Fulbright scholarship. No grants are made for attendance at summer schools, international conferences, or other projects of shorter duration than a full academic year. Connection with an educational institution is required.
The student will be notified approximately three months after the close of competition whether he has been awarded a scholarship. Students are instructed not to write or inquire as to the status of their applications.
At present, three University students hold Fulbright scholarships. They are: Virginia Joseph, who will go to France; John H. Michener, who will go to England; and Frederick F. Simmons, who will study in New Zealand. All are graduate students.
Students interested in the scholarships should apply to Dr. J. H Nelson, dean of the graduate school.

The group of cartoons are divided into three sections, political and news cartoons, comic strips, and feature pictures. Mr. Reid's favorites are the political cartoons.
"The they illustrate the history of the past 40 years," M. Reid said. "It is interesting to note that basically the same issues are before us today as when the cartoons were drawn."
Political cartoons of the Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson campaigns, the revolt of Roosevelt from the Republican party, World War I, and the prohibition era, are displayed. One cartoon of the 1936 election, drawn by Claude Shafer of the Cincinnati Times, shows F.D. R. in the shape of a then unheard-of budget of 4 billion dollars, battling it out with the Rebublican elephant.

Follies To Open 49 Homecoming Festivities
If the weather permits, the "Follies" will be held in Memorial stadium, but arrangements have also been made for a possible shift to Hoch auditorium in case of rain.
The "Jayhawk Follies" will open the 1949 University Homecoming celebration Friday, Nov. 18. Prof. Albert S. Palmerlee, general chairman, met Thursday with the Homecoming committee. The group approved the substitution of the "Jayhawk Follies," a student talent show, for the traditional parade.
The committee decided that the organized houses should not be burdened with the work and expense of preparing both house decorations and parade floats. The house decorations were deemed more important in that they will be seen by returning alumni on the day of the M.U.-K.U. game. Chairman of the house decorations contest committee is Paul DeCora, instructor in music theory.
The KU KU's and Jay Janes will hold a pep rally in addition to whatever rally features may be incorporated into the follies.
A basketball game featuring the K. U. varsity will be held in Hoch auditorium following the Follies.
There will be several events in the Union for students and alumni Saturday Nov. 19. The Student Union Activity committee has scheduled a dance, for Saturday night.

The team was coached by the late Feilding Yost. The team was unscored upon until the final three minutes of the last game.
The house decorations contest, pre-game and halftime ceremonies will be climaxed by the crowning of the homecoming queen and her attendants.
