80 To Be Selected To Science, Math Camp
More than 100 high school students from seven states have applied for the 80 places in the Second Annual Science and Mathematics Camp to be held June 16-28 at KU.
Dr. David Paretsky, associate professor of bacteriology and camp director, has received applications from Kansas, Alabama, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Oklahoma. The students, who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school this year, are chosen on the basis of letters of recommendation, as well as grades and expressed interest.
Nearly two-thirds of the 80 campers will receive some form of scholarship to defray camp expenses.
Outstanding students from the camp will be chosen to participate in the apprenticeship program for the next summer. The apprenticeship program will be introduced for the first time this summer. Six high school students, chosen from last year's campers, will work during July for pay as full-time assistants to KU professors who are engaged in research projects.
Dr. Paretsky estimated that 20 per cent of last year's campers have applied for positions as apprentices. Two of those already selected include a finalist and a runner-up in the Westinghouse nation-wide talent search. May 24 is set as the deadline for the selection of apprentices.
Sports Dinner To Be May 20
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the first all-sports banquet May 20 in the Student Union Ballroom.
AFROTC Cadet Finishes Program
Robert C. Jackson, Leawood senior, Wednesday became the first KU student to finish the new Air Force ROTC light training program.
Jacob Goble, Caney junior, and Jackson took their $1 \frac{1}{2}$-hour Civil Aeronautics Administration Examination Wednesday from Paul Cannom, CAA aviation safety agent from Kansas City, Mo.
Twenty-nine AFROTC senior cadets took part in the program which began this semester. Jackson earlier in the year was the first cadet to solo under the program.
Following graduation these cadets will attend one year of flight school to qualify for their Air Force wings. The AFROTC program only acquaints them with the elementary problems of flying.
The banquet will honor all sports at KU with squad members of the football, basketball, track, tennis, baseball, golf and swimming teams as guests of honor.
George Mikan, an all-America basketball player at DePaul University and later a professional star with the Minneapolis Lakers, will be the main speaker. Mr. Mikan, now an attorney in the Twin Cities, was named the outstanding basketball player of the first half of the 20th century.
200 Teaching Jobs To Seniors
Approximately 200 persons have been placed in teaching positions for the 1957-58 school term by the University's teacher placement bureau, Herbert E. Chandler, associate professor of education said in an interview.
"The majority of this number are seniors in the School of Education, but a few former graduates of the School have been placed," he said.
The Bureau usually places about 325 to 350 persons each year. Prof. Chandler noted that the way the vacancies were being filled now he thought there would be at least that many placements this year.
Within the past three weeks there has been a large turnover of coaches in the high schools, he said. About 15 coaching positions have been filled through the bureau just recently.
Ray Culbertson, chairman of the sports committee of the Chamber, said he anticipates a crowd of about 700. Tickets must be purchased by May 17.
"There has been no decided trend toward any city or section." Prof. Chandler said. "But the usual number of more than 100 will probably sign contracts to teach in Johnson and Wyandotte counties."
