Students to Apply for Russia Summer Study
Under the auspices of the International University Commission on Travel Grants, the State Department and the Russian Foreign Office, 85 graduate students during the next two school years will visit the Soviet Union.
"To increase our present development and future potential we (KU) should participate in this program."
Roy D. Laird, assistant professor of political science, said:
February 15 is the deadline for applications to be submitted to the International University Commission on Travel Grants in New York.
The requirements are that a person must be an American citizen not over 40 years old, a student on the graduate level at the time of application and that the person have a proficiency in written and oral Russian or able to complete such proficiency during a summer of study.
Persons interested in applying may see Prof. Laird at 3 Strong B.
Students will be selected by the University. Finalists are to be chosen on the basis of nationwide competition. Prof. Laird said,
Provisions have been made for wives but not children to accompany students. Preference will be given to those who will have completed course work and an oral examination.
Moffett Honored By Engineering Frat
Charles L. Moffett, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, has been named the outstanding freshman for the 1958-59 school year by the KU chapter of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering society.
Thirty-five students will be studying during the 1960-61 school year, Prof. Laird said.
The candidates' own financial resources will be taken into consideration.
Forty-six American graduate students and 44 Soviet students have been exchanged during the last two years of the program, he said.

Budget Increase Is Small
KU's budget allotment for the general research program has increased only $4,000 since 1951. Enrollment has climbed up 2,700 since that time. Nichols said:
"The allocation for the program eight years ago was $300,000 and is now $304,000. Since there are more faculty members here applying for the grants now than eight years ago, naturally more money is needed—at least $95,159.
either. The University is unable now to accomplish as much with $304,000 as it had been able to do with $300,000 in 1951."
"Inflation since 1951 hasn't helped
He said the increase since 1951 hardly counts since it is so small compared to the increasing number of demands for the general research program.
Brandied Doe Weaves Away
PETOSKEY, Mich. —(UPI)— Hunters George Parker and George Weaver proudly told today of their successful rescue and treatment of a half-drowned doe.
They pulled out the doe, which had fallen through river ice, and gave it a healthy slug of brandy. The doe shivered to its feet and weaved off into the woods.
