Three letters of recommendation from the student's professors at KU, a statement of his proficiency in German, and a certificate of health are also required.
Information and application blanks for any of these programs are available at the German department, 306 Fraser. Applications and letters of reference must be in March 15.
Selections will be made by the universities by May 1.

Fine Arts Building Nears Completion
The Music and Dramatic Arts Building, expected to be ready for classes next fall, is nearing the 75 per cent completion mark, according to Keith Lawton, administrative assistant for operations.
The exterior of the 2.4 million dollar building is about finished with only final cleaning of the stonework and installation of a fire safety structure on the roof of the large theater still remaining.
The U-shaped structure is located on the southwest slope of the hill south of Lindley Hall.
Work being done on the interior now includes tile-setting in the
restrooms and the laying of a terrazzo floor. Terrazzo is a type of flooring in which chips of marble are set in cement and polished.
Some painting is being done, chiefly on the third floor of the music wing and in areas where scaffolds have been installed for plastering. The scaffolds are being left in place until the painting is finished, to save the added work of removing them and reinstalling them later.
One of the highlights of the building is the 40-foot revolving stage being installed in the theater. The building will also house a 398-seat recital hall in the dramatic arts wing.
With the exception of several rooms which will contain organs, the
70 practice rooms in the music wing will each contain a piano.
The space in Fraser, Green and Strong Halls now occupied by speech, drama and music departments will be used by other departments. Most of the practice rooms in Strong will be turned over to the design and painting departments, which will remain in that building.
