Woodrow Wilson Group to Aid KU Graduate Research
KU will receive $6,000 from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation to support advanced graduate students and to strengthen graduate education in general.
The Foundation said grants totaling $1,814,000 will be given to 75 graduate schools in the United States and Canada. Other Big Eight schools receiving grants are the University of Colorado, $7,000, and the University of Oklahoma, $4,000.
Size of the grants is based on the number of Woodrow Wilson Fellows currently enrolled in the respective graduate schools. The grants need not be awarded to Woodrow Wilson Fellows, but must be used mainly for the support of graduate students
KU Gets Grant for Summer Institutes
A total of $155,755 will be provided to KU in support of three summer institutes for science and mathematics teachers.
The National Science Foundation donated $141,040 and the Atomic Energy Commission provided $14,715 to this program in its fifth year at KU.
The institutes are part of a vast program to improve the teaching of science and mathematics by upgrading the qualifications of teachers and familiarizing them with the newest developments in their fields.
This year 38 college or university teachers and 65 high school teachers will receive the standard National Science Foundation stipend of $75 a week with $15 a week allowances for dependents.
The largest grant. $100,800, is for an 8-week KU program on mathematics for 30 college and 45 high school teachers.

interested in college teaching careers, during their second or later years of training.
Three Woodrow Wilson Fellows who entered KU last fall are Sandra Irsay, Arlington, Va., economics; Jessie Ann Root, Overland Park, French, and Fred Allen Womack Jr., Fort Worth, Tex., mathematics.
Second-year Fellows are Donald Ellensteine, Gardner, economics; A.W. Smalley, Shreveport, La, chemistry; Robert L. Woodley, Toppea, English; and David P. Young, Ferguson, Mo., chemistry.
During the 1960-61 academic year, fellowships were awarded to 13 KU seniors, a number exceeded at only two publicly supported universities in the nation.
An unprecedented number of first-year Woodrow Wilson fellowship nominations, totaling 10,700 and representing an increase of 24 per cent over the previous year, are being processed by the Foundation's regional committee. Winners for the 1961-62 academic year will be announced in mid-March.
Approximately 5,000 GOP supporters flocked to the Municipal Auditorium in Topeka last night to meet incoming Gov. John Anderson, his wife and state officials and to attend the formal Inaugural Ball.
5,000 to Topeka For Inaugural Ball
It seemed to be an evening for waiting. Men waited in lines the length of the auditorium to check their coats. At least a thousand formally dressed couples waited in lines crisscrossing the flag-decorated downstairs of the auditorium to meet and congratulate the new governor and his official family.
Long lines of people surrounded the ballroom floor and waited for the governor and his wife to enter from a hidden platform and lead the Grand March.
Uniformed guardsmen and the Topeka and Olathe high school band members formed an interesting contrast with the silks and satins worn by the governor's guests.
Several KU couples attended the ball.
One who has given serious thought to his own future will not speak disparagingly of dust.—George R. Walker
Laotian Premier Says Soviet Troops Have Joined Invasion
VENTIANE, Loas — (UPI) — The pro-Western government of Premier Boun Oum charged today that Soviet troops had joined those from Communist North Viet Nam in an invasion of Laotian territory. There was no confirmation from Western sources.
Information minister Bouavan Norasing told a news conference that "three battalions" of Russians, Vietminh and Pathet Lao troops took part in the attack on Laotian territory.
(In London, a foreign office spokesman said Britain had no evidence to support reports from Vientiane that Russian troops are fighting in Laos alongside Red Viet Minh and Pathet Lao guerrilla forces.)
Bouavan based his charge on a report received from Col. Kham Khong, government commander at Paksane to the east of this administrative capital.
The report also said that "one division" of Communist Viet Minh troops were moving by road from the town of Hong Het to Ban Ban, another town in the province of
Xlieng Khoung which borders North Viet Nam.
In Washington, Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov today held a 30-minute talk with Secretary of State Christian A. Herter on the crisis in war-torn Laos.
Menshikov, accompanied by an aide, emerged grim-faced from the session but acknowledged in response to questioning, that the conference concerned the southeast Asian kingdom.
The Russians and Americans have repeatedly accused each other of intervening in the internal affairs of Laos. The United States is supplying military aid to the rightist government of Premier Prince Boun and Russian planes are airlifting war material to the Communist-led forces of the Pathet Lao.
Three fourths of our teachers are women, many of them young and quite likely to use extra money to buy pretty dresses. The outcome (of indiscriminate doubling of salaries) would be earlier marriage, motherhood, and one less teacher.—Francis Keppel
