University Gets Two Study Grants
The U. S. Public Health Service and the Radio Corporation of America have announced they will award grants for study in science and psychology.
RCA will continue an $800 scholarship, established in 1953, for students in mathematics, physics or electrical engineering. James C. Poll. Wellsville senior, majoring in physics, holds the present RCA scholarship.
Dr. Juliet Popper, assistant professor of psychology, will try to provide the answers for problems long unsolved in the field of mental health with a $2,300 grant for the study of discrimination learning.
One of the causes of certain types of mental illnesses is the inability on the part of a person to choose the correct response to a situation.
The outskirts of American cities have been growing six times as fast as the cities themselves in recent years.

Douglas County's worst traffic accident in history took the lives of five men, including two KU students. Jan. 25.
Two Students, 3 Navy Men Die
Killed were Lloyd B. Ferrell, Topeka senior, Fred W. Potter, Lawrence sophomore, and three Olathe Naval Air Base servicemen.
Ferrrell, unmarried, was a premedical student and lived in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. Potter's wife, the former Miss Merrilyn Colman of Lawrence, is a student at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. Potter was a business administration student and lived in a private home.
Highway patrolmen investigating the accident said the students' car, traveling west, collided early Sunday morning with the eastbound Navy men's car on Highway K-10 a mile east of Eudora. Ferrell was killed instantly. Potter died Monday afternoon at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Officers said the actual cause of the accident would probably never be known. Because no eye-witnesses were available, it was difficult to reconstruct the circumstances of the crash.
Sophomore Wins Scholarship
Bonnie Ann Frederiksen, Emporia sophomore, will hold a Greater University Fund scholarship for the spring semester. The scholarship is in honor of Miss Erdmunds von Unwerth, class of 1902. She made possible the award by asking members of her family to contribute to the Greater University Fund in lieu of sending Christmas gifts to her. She also added her own contributions.

Libraries Must Increase Efforts To Acquire Books, Librarians Say
American university and research libraries must rapidly increase their efforts to acquire the important books and scientific journals currently published in foreign countries, two KU librarians conclude.
Robert Vosper, director of KU libraries, and Robert Talmadge, associate director, outlined their views in a report presented to the Conference of Research Librarians last week.
The research showed that the United States particularly needs
books from Eastern Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa, the librarians say.
"Research and teaching concerned with those parts of the world are bound to increase, and libraries must be prepared to give support," Mr. Vosper said.
The only solution to the complicated problem and the total cost involved in importing all important foreign books is a planned cooperative program on a world-wide basis, the librarians assert.
