Around the Campus Vieth Gets $1000 $900 Scholarship to Poetry Researcher To Complete Book
The grant, which provides for travel and research materials, will enable Prof. Vieth to complete a book devoted chiefly to the works of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester.
David M. Vieth, associate professor of English, has received a $1,000 grant from the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia.
The book will include essays and studies relating to the poetry of Rochester, on whom Dr. Vieth is considered by many to be the world's foremost authority. The book will also be devoted to other important figures in Restoration literature.
Hall Appointed to State Zoologist Job
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, chairman of the zoology department, has been named state zoologist by Chancellor Franklin Murphy.
Dr. Hall is also director of the Museum of Natural History and a Summerfield Distinguished Professor.
Dr. Hall will not officially assume the office until a bill enacted by the 1959 legislature is written into the statute books, probably sometime this summer.
Dr. Hall will be the first state zoologist in the history of Kansas. He will continue to serve as head of the State Biological Survey.
Mansion Hostesses

The largest—though not the longest—vehicular tunnel in the world is part of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
A $900 Elizabeth M. Watkins faculty summer scholarship has been awarded to Dr. Kenneth Rothwell, assistant professor of English. Dr. Rothwell is doing research on epic poetry in America prior to 1865.
The objective of the scholarships is to make it financially possible for junior members of the faculty to pursue promising lines of research during the inactive portion of the teaching year. Seven similar awards for the 1959 summer were made earlier.
Jerry W. Knudson, instructor of journalism, has been awarded a Thomas Jefferson Foundation fellowship to pursue doctoral study of American history at the University of Virginia during 1959 and 1960.
Knudson Receives Jefferson Fellowship
Robert B. Green, associate professor of drawing and painting, is one of 62 artists invited to show a work in the biennial "Artists West of the Mississippi" exhibition at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. Prof. Green submitted an oil painting, "Images of the Tidal Ponds."
He is one of the first recipients of the new grants for advanced study in history and political science. Mr. Knudson was graduated from KU in 1956 and joined the faculty here in 1958 after receiving the M.A. degree from the University of Minnesota.

Scholarship Hall Awards Give Opportunity to Many
(Editor's Note: This is the final article in a series on scholarship at KU.)
Students are required to work one hour each day in the hall. This eliminates the need for hired help.
By Thomas J. Trotter
Scholarship hall awards account for the largest single number of scholarships given yearly. Four hundred fifty of these awards are granted annually.
Scholarship hall residents have definite advantages. The halls house small living groups and all the residents are in the same general economic category.
The halls are paid for and owned by the University. Spencer Martin, director of aids and awards, says there is no bonded indebtedness for which students have to pay in house bills.
These scholarships are given to students with 'A' or 'B' averages who need financial help to go to school. The five men's halls include Battenfeld, Foster, Jolliffe, Pearson and Stephenson. Watkins, Miller, Douthart and Sellards are for women.
Scholarship hall students do their own housework and cooking to cut down on bills. Usually, dormitory housebills are about $70 a month. In a scholarship hall, men pay approximately $43 and the women, $35.
Another large group of scholarships are those awarded by the
federal government to NROTC students.
The Navy pays its 120 NROTC students on campus a retainer of $50 a month and foots the bill for tuition, books, uniforms and transportation to the University.
During the summer the students' transportation from the University to the summer cruise ports is also paid. The midshipmen receive $100 a month during the summer cruise.
Commander Francis A. Lewis, associate professor of military science and the executive officer of the NROTC unit here, says that in reality the Navy scholarships are not scholarships.
"I recognize that they serve the same purpose as scholarships but in essence they are not. They are a method of obtaining career officers for the regular navy," Comdr. Lewis said.
