KU, Britain Offer Exchange Grants
Three major British universities have completed exchange scholarship agreements with the University.
It's New, Delicious- Sudsy Spinach Soup
The University of Birmingham, Exeter and Reading each will receive one KU student at the graduate level beginning in 1957-58, and KU in turn will receive a graduate student from each of them.
Each exchange scholar will receive tuition and maintenance covering room, board and incidentals Dean John H. Nelson of the Graduate School hoped that some organization or individuals would sponsor travel grants.
Applications by KU students should be filed with J. A. Burzle, professor of German, 304 Fraser, by March 15. Any graduating senior or graduate student may apply.
An elementary foods course has proved very discouraging to one coed who now claims that her calling is not the kitchen.
After combining all the ingredients for the cream of spinach soup, she added a heaping teaspoon of salt which she got from a jar near the sink. But the green sudsy-looking mixture didn't meet with the approval of the instructor.
"What have I done wrong this time?" the coed moaned.
"You didn't put any salt in the soup," the patient instructor replied. "You have put in a teaspoon of soap."
Mead To Talk Thursday
Margaret Mead, well-known anthropologist and author, will give a public lecture at 4 p. m. Thursday in Strong Auditorium.
Miss Mead, who is president of the World Federation of Mental Health, has concentrated much of her anthropological work on New Guinea and other South Pacific islands. Since 1926 she has been assistant curator of ethnology for the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Her talk will deal with the psychological implications of personal-ity changes in a New Guinea tribe. The department of psychology and of sociology and anthropology are sponsoring the lecture.
Bert Kaplan, assistant professor of psychology, will hold a reception for Miss Mead at his residence following the lecture. Faculty of the psychology and sociology departments will honor her at a dinner.
KU Cannot Keep Top-Rated Faculty
IFC Admits Theta Tau
Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity, became the 27th member of the Inter-Fraternity Council last night.
KU is losing the battle to get and keep top-rated faculty members. Larger, better paying universities are coming to schools such as KU only to select students who have just gotten their Ph.D. degree with the idea of enlarging their own staffs, according to George B. Smith, dean of the University.
Theta Tau had filed a petition for membership during the 1956 Fall semester, but committee consideration was not completed until last week. Theta Tau is the only professional fraternity in the IFC.
An addition to Greek Week events was announced by Carroll Mock, Hutchinson senior, IFC chairman. Tuesday night each fraternity will be host at a dinner for two Lawrence citizens selected at random by the Greek Week committee. Invitations will be made this week and houses will be informed of their guests by this weekend.
THE BOTTLE-TIPPING WOODCUTTER — Sganarelle, played by Robert Potter, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, is tricked by his wife into pretending to be a doctor in the University Theatre production, "The Doctor in Spite of Himself," which opens Wednesday in the Student Union Ballroom.
April 12 Is Poetry Deadline
April 12 is the deadline for entries in the William Herbert Carruth Memorial poetry contest. There are no limitations as to the subject matter. The winner is awarded a $100 prize. Prizes of $50 and $25 are given for second and third place.
The scholarship committee announced the deadline for fraternity scholarship reports as Monday. The list of house-rankings will be released as soon as the reports are verified and scholarship awards will be presented at the Scholarship Banquet Thursday, March 7, in the Student Union.
At the next meeting, March 12, members of the council will vote on the acceptance of the Delta Sigma Club for membership. Delta Sigma has been a colony at KU since the spring of 1956.
Ward L. Miner, visiting assistant professor of English, Richard Eberhart, a poet teaching at Dartmouth College, and Bill Inge, KU almunus and playwright who wrote "Picnic" have been selected to judge the entries.
Entries for the annual contest which was started in 1921 should be submitted unsigned. The contestant's name should be signed on a separate piece of paper along with his poem.
Posters with information about the contest have been posted on bulletin boards over the campus. Entries should be submitted at 203 Fraser.
Foundation Gets Letters
An original letter from William Allen White and a printed address given by him are now the property of the William Allen White Foundation.
The two gifts were given to the Foundation by Irving Dilliar, editorial editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, at the annual William Allen White lecture early this month.
The letter was written by Mr. White to one of the readers of the Post-Dispatch who had written Mr. White expressing the view that this nation should avoid all involvement in World War II. Mr. White answered the reader that although he thought he was right, he believed that his critic had just as much right to an opinion.
The address by Mr. White was written in 1940 and delivered to the Abraham Lincoln Assn. of Springfield, Ill.
"They then use these men to fill junior vacancies on their staffs at the assistant professor level," he said.
Need Department Heads
"However, we are reaching a period when larger schools are doubling and tripling their staffs and are now picking senior staff members from institutions not paying the kind of salaries these schools can afford to pay." he continued.
Need Department Heads
Senior staff members are badly needed to take charge of departments and to set up new programs of instruction. There just isn't time to educate enough younger men to fill the vacancies suffered by all the schools, Dean Smith said.
"This is basically the problem we are running into now as we are losing key men from many of our departments," he said.
This is an unexpected problem for all universities in the country and all schools, both large and small, are feeling the pinch.
"The competition for faculty members has been going on since before the war but it has stepped up since the war and the colleges and universities need larger staffs with the unexpectedly large enrollments," he said.
East West Pav Well
"When the enrollment was pretty much static, the raids for faculty talent were not noticed but now with schools growing so much larger, there are many schools large enough to raid us.
"The areas which pay exceptionally high salaries and which have hired most of the faculty members away from the University are the Big Ten schools and the large schools in the East and on the West coast." Dean Smith said.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said there are simply not enough teachers at any level.
"Kansas got into this low paying predicament several years ago when most universities throughout the nation began increasing salaries substantially, but we waited until some of the schools were paying from 25 to 40 per cent above our scale." Dean Smith said.
KU ranks about in the middle position among American universities as far as salary scale goes. This means the University gets its instructors from all areas of the nation, he aid.
Film, Discussion On Motherhood
A film, "A Concept of Maternal and Neonatal Care," will be shown at 7:45 p. m. Wednesday in the KU Infant Study Center, 1126 Louisiana. Dr. H. L. Wilcox, Lawrence gynecologist, will lead a discussion on the care of young mothers and infants following the film.
The discussion is the second in a series on preparation for motherhood sponsored by the department of home economics. The discussions are open to the public.
Apple For Teacher, By Machine, Too
Getting an apple for the teacher is made especially easy at this University for there is an apple vending machine in the basement of Strong Hall.
Actually the vending machine serves an important function. They calm the growling stomachs of those who go without breakfast.
