Model's Guild started here
Approximately 50 KU women will be given a chance to learn and develop professional modeling techniques through an organization being started on campus this semester known as Model's Guild.
Although many girls chosen will have had previous modeling experience, Miss Burk said she was mainly looking for potential and interest in applicants.
Carol Burk, former KU student from Great Bend, is now interviewing and auditioning girls for positions in the group. Miss Burk, a professional model and member of the American Model's Association, is working with several Lawrence merchants as well as the Eileen Ford modeling agency in New York.
The group will not operate as a modeling agency, Miss Burk said, but will be a source of information and contacts for girls interested in becoming professional models.
Several fashion shows are being planned by the guild throughout the year. The first is to be given exclusively for the Alpha Gamma Delta and Pi Beta Phi sororities Oct. 15 at the AGD house.
Building delay affects crowded language labs
The construction postponement of the Humanities building will cause problems for students of foreign languages in the next few semesters, said Ermal Garinger, director of Language Laboratories.
"There are now 117 supervised classes scheduled to meet in the four existing laboratories of Blake Annex each week, and between 1,200 and 1,500 students come in each week for individual study with the tape recorders. I hate to think what we will do next semester," said Garinger.
"Three entire floors of the Humanities building were designed with electronic classrooms for visual and audio instruction, but now that the building is to be redesigned, it will be at least two years before such space and equipment will be available," Garinger explained.
Garinger said the problems of crowding have been getting worse in Blake Annex for some time, but he had thought "stop-
SUA board helps promote KU students' wanderlust
NASA gives KU $100,000 grant to aid engineers
A grant of $100,000 given the University of Kansas by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will support an additional five students in graduate engineering training.
Students who daydream of winters in Aspen, semester break in New Orleans or summer in Europe, may find such journeys within the limitations set by their pocketbooks because of efforts of the Student Union Activities (SUA) travel board.
Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Walt, assistant commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and former commanding officer of the U.S. Marines in Vietnam, will speak at a banquet honoring Vietnam veterans Nov. 11.
The travel board, in its fourth year at KU, arranges trips for student groups during school vacations, including transportation, food and lodging, all for one fee.

Members of the Ski Club, recently incorporated into the travel board, may take ski trips this year to Aspen, Vail and Winter Park, all in Colorado.
The travel board also plans to sponsor a New York trip during Christmas, a New Orleans trip at semester break and a trip to Freeport in the Bahamas at spring break, Crago said.
Craig Crago, Merriam senior and travel board member, said the main objective of the travel board is to save people money on the trips by making them as inexpensive as possible.
NASA said it awarded the money for support of interdisciplinary studies in space science and technology. The study throws electrical, mechanical, civil, and other engineering students into contact and cooperation with one another.
The banquet will be at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union ballroom, Richard Gibson, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) commander, said Thursday. A parade also is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Massachusetts Street. Three parade units from area military bases will appear, John R. Haney, VFW member in charge of parade arrangements, said.
The cost of the ski trips ranges from $108 to $145, depending on the number of days to be spent skiing, and whether or not equipment is rented. Costs also include food, lodging, tows, transportation, lessons and shuttle service.
A two-month trip to Europe next summer also is planned. The round-trip cost is $270. The flight is to originate in New York, but the destination has not been set yet. Paris is a possibility, Crago said. After the students arrive in Europe they are on their own, he added.
"The travel board plans to make information packets for

gap" measures would suffice until the completion of the Humanities building. Now Gäringer says his temporary measures will not fill the gap during the wait for the new building.
Those temporary measures included re-equipping a projection room as a sound lab, building a partition in one room to simulate two rooms and extending the hours to include the lunch hour and Saturday mornings. But Blake Annex offers no more room for expansion.

students, including information on how to save money in Europe," he said.
There will be no second trip to Europe during August because of lack of interest in previous programs, Crago said, although a Hawaii-California trip may be substituted.
Displays will be in the Union throughout the year, and travel information for most countries and states will be available through SUA.
"We're also developing a bimonthly travel forum with travelogues and speakers who will talk about various countries in the world," he said.
The grant, administered by William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering, supports a pilot program using a new concept in graduate engineering training.

Several locations near Blake Annex are being considered for a temporary lab, but Garinger said a temporary sound lab in a building like Spencer library would probably only "mess up" the existing building. A good sound lab cannot be satisfactorily installed in an existing building, it must be included in the plans by the designer, he said.
Nevertheless, Garinger claimed a satellite classroom could be equipped with sound equipment for about 18 students for "under $3,000."
