KU center gets award
The University of Kansas has been awarded $160,060 from the U.S. Department of Education to support a Russian and East European center and institute, the director of the Soviet and East European department said yesterday.
There are less than a dozen centers in Soviet studies throughout the nation, said William Fletcher, the program's director.
"Awards go to the strongest programs in the nation," he said. "KU is pretty hot stuff."
The award is divided into $115,000 for the support of the center and $45,000 for fellowships to graduate students in Soviet and East European studies.
Fletcher said the award was "to make a good program better" and "to encourage students to develop competence in their graduate field work."
Nine graduate students received a $4,000 stipend for nine months, plus tuition and fees, for postgraduate work
in the KU program. The fellowships were awarded to Peter King, Lawrence, and Mark Curry, Prairie Village, for Soviet and East European studies; Jean Rutherford, Lawrence, Michael Biggins, Lawrence, and Anesa Miller-Pogacar, Wichita, for Slavic Languages and Literature; Joel Jewsold, Madison, Wis., and Christopher Berry, Madison, Wisconsin science; Lendy Black, Memphis, Tenn., for theatre; and Elena Baranov, Groton, Mass., for geography.
"We are almost certainly the best in the country on Soviet and East European fine art, religion/philosophy and Polish studies." Fletcher said.
Fletcher said the grant was awarded to the center for a variety of reasons, including department's library, which described as "one of the 10 best in the country."
"We have some very prominent faculty members, one-third of which are either world-class or national-class."

The full-featured, high-performance ND-600 II is a metal-compatible assette deck designed to meet demand applications, yet priced at $249.95.
Performance
The clean, sophisticated front panel offers a complete range of useful features, but without a single cost-inflating flipper. Separate left and right-channel input level controls allow precision recording adjustment. Of course, the unit includes a Dolby* noise reduction system. And for optimum off-the-air recording, it is coupled with a switchable FM multiplate filter. Separate, three position blas and equalization switches optimize other features, including a hard ferric chrome, fierchirc and metal tapes. Other features add to both performance quality and operating convenience.
Between road trips, Schwartz also will be in charge of the Kansas Newsletter, which is sent to Kansas high schools.
The ND-500 is an advanced cassette deck that employs the newly developed Soft-Touch Mechanism and boasts simple high reliability and an excellent cost-performance ratio.
It's all in a handsome, precision-finished cabinet, available in matte black or silver. The ND-500II—the deck that's made for discriminating users—is one of the most comfortable cabinets.

However, with the semester only two weeks old, Schwartz said she had not started traveling. She had been too busy enrolling those
"It does entail quite a bit of traveling throughout the state of Kansas and other parts of the country where KU usually recruits, talking to prospective students and passing out catalogs," she said.
- Cue and Review functions allow quick location of any particular section of the tape.
"I've translated a couple of letters of recommendation that have come for students," she said. "I've had an opportunity to talk to a couple of people who are teaching Spanish and they have just been overwhelmed at KU."

Fall supplementary budget hearings set
The amount of money available was not disclosed by Senate Treasurer Warren Grassley because the groups would modify the bill because it was available if we made the future public."
New student organizations, or those that have run out of money, should apply for funding to be allocated at Student President. Students budget hearings that start Sept. 21.
Last fall, $17,337 was allocated or
s supplementary* budget hearings- half
of Sesame Street.
Van Parys said it was important that
groups realized that budget hearings were approaching.
"We spend hundreds of dollars every year advertising the hearings, but groups still come in mid-November to ask about it. That money had already been allocated."
Groups qualifying for funds must be recognized by the University, hold open meetings and be non-political, according to Van Parvs.
Applications will be available in the
Student Senate office, 105B Kansas
