Two $1,000 fellowships have been awarded to University students for city manager training, Dr. Ethan P. Allen, chairman of the board of examiners, said today.
Herbert Dieterich, College senior, and Glenn Varenhorst, College senior, won the fellowships that are awarded through the city manager training program sponsored by the Carnegie foundation.
"The Carnegie foundation granted the city manager training program $50,000 for a period of five years." Dr. Allen said. "This money is to be used to grant six fellowships each year during the period. We will fill the extra two fellowships in the near future." Dr. Allen said.
During the one year fellowship, students will attend classes only three times each six weeks at the University. The rest of the time will be spent in training on the job under a city manager.
Two other K. U. students have been admitted to the program, Fred Bien, engineering senior, and Larue W. Jones, business senior.
"There are 27 applicants from 18 schools in the United States. They met for a full day of interviews with the board March 30." Dr. Allen explained.
Members of the board which reviewed the applicants were: J. H. Nelson, dean of the graduate school; J. O. Jones, professor of applied mechanics; E. G. Nelson, associate professor of accounting; L. P. Cookingham, city manager of Kansas City, Mo.; E. J. Allison, city manager of Salina; Dr. E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science; and Dr. Allen, chairman.
College Life To Be Discussed
The Unive life in general will be the topics of informal discussions with high school students throughout Kansas sponsored by the county clubs of the Student State-Wide Activities commission.
"These informal chats with prospective college students will be designed not only to give the high school student information about K.U., but also to give a little more personal insight into college life." Hicklin, ciunty clubs chairman, said today.
Across the campus at any hour of the day can be seen large droves of afflicted students lying on the grass, propped against the steps and dragging themselves from class to class. Low frequent whistles from Green hall indicate that even lawyers are susceptible to invasion of this type Full-blooming forsythia bushes in the administrative offices of the Uiversity suggest that possibly some of the authorities have also been victims and that evidently this affliction is no respecter of persons.
The spring vacation project will be discussed at 4:00 p.m. today in 206 Frank Strong hall.
Pseudo Epidemic Strikes Students At University
- Epidemic sweeps the University of Kansas campus! Teachers report skeleton classes as strange disease spreads through the student ranks.
Symptoms appear to be numbing of the mind and reduced body activity. Snow hall can find no micro-organism on which they can blame the epidemic, nor do Watkins hospital records reveal any hospitalized cases. Moreover, they assure us that the outbreak is seasonal and will leave no permanent mark on its victims with the exception of those in whom the disease reaches the cardiac muscle.
If you are not already one of the afflicted, beware—Spring Fever may get you next!
