KU scholarly journal arriving
After a six-month delay, Volume III of Res Public Litterarium, a journal published annually by the University of Kansas, should arrive in Lawrence next week, the editor of the journal said yesterday.
Sesto Prete, professor of classics and editor of Res Publica Litterarum, which publishes articles written by scholars of the humanities from all over the world, said the delay in the shipment of Volume III was caused by communication problems with the printer in Madrid.
Volume III includes a group of articles on botany in the Middle Ages, articles on French literature and articles on classical, medieval and Renaissance material. Five of the articles were written by KU professors, Prete said, as were three review articles.
The professors who contributed from KU were L.R. Lind, professor emeritus of classics; Lymn Nelson, professor of history; Alfonso Verdu, professor of
philosophy; Olary Phillips, professor of classics; Jerry Stannard, professor of history; Richard Hardin, professor of English; and Prete.
Prete said the first volume of Res Publica Litterarum was published by the University press in 1978, when Del Shankel, then executive vice chancellor, promoted the idea of a journal on humanities.
"It has been successful," Prede said.
VOLUMES II and III were printed in Madrid and Volume IV, expected to be published in January, was printed in Italy, he said.
Volume IV contains all of the lectures given at the September 1980 International Conference for Humanistic Studies, held in Italy on the 500th anniversary of the death of Niccolo Perotti, a 14th-century humanist.
"Professors from the United States, Germany, France, Holland, Italy and Australia gave lectures," Prete said. "Four of them were KU."
Twelve professors from KU sit on the
32-member advisory board of the publication, Prete said. The advisory board, which provides, examines and eliminates or accepts articles, is made up of members of the United States, England, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy.
"Usually, a scholar has to wait between two and three years before an article is published," Prete said.
When Prete receives material from a scholar interested in having his or her work published, he sends a copy of the material to two members of the advisory board. They review the article and decide whether to accept it, he said.
Although the $25 journal is sold primarily in the United States and Germany, *Pree* said it was printed in Britain, English, French, Spanish and Latin.
University libraries purchase about 80 percent of the journals, he said. The remaining 20 percent are sold to other institutions and scholars.
Newsman keeps distance from race
By MICHAEL ROBINSON Staff Renorter
Paul Snyder, news director at KJKH, has disqualified himself from Student Senate election coverage because he is an illegal voter. He presidential candidate David Phillips.
In an Oct. 26 letter to David Adkins and Loren Busby, the other presidential candidates, Snyder said that he would not give up his IKR's coverage of the president's race.
In the letter, Snyder said, "although I am confident I could cover the campaign objectively in an active role, or I could demonstrate the liability of a conflict of interest charge."
Snyder was unavailable for comment last night.
Phillips, Overland Park junior and leader of the Groucho Marx Coalition, said that he had spoken with Snyder and agreed with his decision.
"I just think it looks better," Phillips said.
AND HE CHARGED Perspective Coalition candidate Adkins, Topeka
junior and Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, with a conflict of interest because Adkins will be the co-organizer of the television news program, "15 Minutes."
"I think that is a very blaint conflict of interest," Phillips said. He added that if Adkins kept the co-anchor position, it would prove the Grucho Marx Coalition's contention that Adkins was trivial to "bad his resume."
Phillips challenged Adkins to drop his affiliation with "15 Minutes" and said that he would write a letter to Adkins and Busy to that effect.
Adkins said that he didn't think his position on the news program would affect the election because it would only be on local cable television for 15 months.
"It really is more of a learning experience," he said. "I think it might have some effect if name recognition was a factor, but I think you have to keep a good perspective, to use a word."
He said that the program would consist of interviews of each of the candidates, but he said that the in-

tervies would be handled by his coanchor.
"They've informed me that they're going to work around it," he said.
"The top people have access to the media and hopefully, by what Paul Snyder has done, they won't take advantage of it," he said.
"It'll be interesting, anyway, to see how KJHK covers the elections. I don't know how objective they can be."
Busby said that so far, he had seen no evidence of a conflict of interest.
Busby said that a potential problem might be the candidate debate sponsorship.

Study grants set for cuts; program's future uncertain
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
Fulbright grants are scheduled to be cut by 62 percent next year, according to a cable sent yesterday to schools throughout the country by the Council on International Educational Exchange.
Staff Reporter
"Right now the whole Fulbright (program) is up for grabs," George Wooydard, associate vice chancellor of the College of Arts and Sciences, yesterday. "It's a very tense time."
Woodyard said he did not know how the cuts would affect future applications to the program.
distributed Fulbright and other international grants.
"We'll accept applications hoping that the program will go." be said.
Woodyard said that the cable came as a result of an 'impact memorial' of communications Agency, which along with other agencies,
The agency, like several federal agencies, was asked to make about a 12 percent cut in its budget, Woodyard said. According to the cable, the bulk of the cut was to take place in the Fulbright program, which is scheduled to be cut from $48.1 million to $22.5 million.
Other programs, such as the International Visitors Program, are also scheduled to be cut, be said.
Anita Herzfeld, director of KU study abroad, said that the Fulbright program was a complex and several different organizations.
Unfortunately, she said, the programs involving student applications may be the hardest hit.
"There will probably be very unfortunate effects (to students)," she said. "This program is an extremely vulnerable one."
Herzfeld said that one immediate
effect on the cuts would be to decrease the amount of openings for Fulbrights.
However, she said, she did not think that students who had already been notified of receiving scholarships would be affected.
"I don't think they are going to cut retroactively." she said.
Some faculty members thought that the International Communications Agency decided to cut back the Fulbright program because it would get more attention in the United States than would cutting from another department within the agency, such as the Voice of America radio program, and thus garner more support to save it.
Herzfeld agreed with the theory but said that she thought the cuts would seriously damage the program. The Pulbrut program is designed to cultural benefits and advantages than the radio program, she said.
