By SCOTT EATON
Kansas Staff Writer
A least three state-run schools in Kansas have received more than $1 million of work-study programs than has the University of Kansas for
Kansas State University, with an enrollment of about 15,100 received $230,000 for its program. Fort Hays State, with an enrollment of about 5,000 students, received $230,000 for its program. Kansas Teachers' College in Oklahoma, with an enrollment of 6.24%, received $18,356.
KU, with more than 20,000 students, received $196,195.
Two schools, Wichita State University, and Kansas State College at Pittsburgh, would not make their figures available.

the directors of the financial aids offices at the schools.

The federal funds must be accompanied by a 20 per cent additional funding from the department using the study program.

Ceremony, Open House Mark Library Dedication
In the keynote speech of the dedication ceremonies on the south steps of the library, Dean C.

"I's an inspiring thought to have this library will serve all of us," she said, educationally and as a useful means of serving our leisure time.
GROSS SAID more than 30
million adults were involved in adult education.
Money for construction and new equipment was provided by $1,575,000 in bonds approved by Lawrence voters in March 1970. A federal grant later reduced the local taxpayers by $122,000.

opened the dedication ceremonies.
"We received about 56 per cent of what we applied for," he said, "and I know that that's the way it works at state colleges and universities."
Clark Coan, Library Board chairman, was master of ceremonies for the dedication. The library is needed to visiters after the ceremonies.
Refreshments were served, and a special children's program, including silent films and a music recital. Rean of Lawrence, were shown.
"The city commissions, both at the local level and of this building," Erick said. "and we are all very happy to have a part in the planning development."
Features of the new library are a typing and microfilm room in which a coin-operated electric printer reads the readers are available, an art gallery and record-listening area, changing displays of original art in the lobby, a 88-seat auditorium and a smaller multipurpose room seating 20 multi-purpose rooms for children and adults.
JERRY ROGERS, director of
the school, thought the relative needs at the schools determined the amount of funds they receive for certain
"I am sure the citizens of Lawrence will utilize this library for more information about the library will be the envoy of the entire state and Midwest."
About 250 students have been assigned thus far to the work-study program at KU for fiscal year 1973, which began July 1, according to Bernard Taylor, assistant director of financial aid
This year is the first time the program has been placed on a fiscal year basis, Taylor said. This year's program was coincided with the calendar year.
During the transition from a calendar to a fiscal basis, the nation's colleges and universities were funded for an 18-month period, from Jan. 1, 1911, to June 30, 1915. During this period, KU received $343,677 in federal funds to support the work-study programs.
ADDING THE funds provided by the federal government and the departments utilizing the work-study program at KU, the University of Alabama for KU's work-study program for fiscal 1973 reached $235.434.
Of the total amount of funds available for the work-study program, Taylor said, about 70 percent were administration of the program.
Beardside said funds were provided by the local government through the use of formula. To decide the amount of money that any college or university government first determines the total number of students enrolled at eligible schools throughout the country, and to determine the students in each state is divided by the national total to determine what percentage of the national total is contributed.

It's the Marine Corps' test for the man who wants responsibility and leadership from the start, not at some obscure point in his future. And there isn't a tougher test you could take—for the Marines don't choose their new
officers lighten. Two six week sessions at Quantico—or one ten week session —will tell them you if you've got all it takes to lead some of the world's best fighting men. If you do, you'll pin on your lieutenant's bars after college graduation, and carry new weight on your shoulders from that moment on.
The Marine Corps Officer Selection Team will be located in the main lobby of the Kansas Union from 9AM to 4PM on the 25th, 26th and 27th of September 1972.
