Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, is conducting interviews of 50 college and university seniors from whom 17 Woodrow Wilson fellows will be chosen.
Sandelius On Interview Tour
Dr. Sandelius is one of four members of the Mid-and-Northwest Committee on Woodrow Wilson graduate fellowships. The committee conducted interviews Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb., and will be in Seattle, Wash., late this week and the first part of next week.
Among the 50 to receive interviews are three from KU: Roy E. Gridley, Donald W. Martin, Emporia.

AEC Offers Fellowships
A special fellowship, providing $2500 above all school expenses, is available to students for training as radiological physicists.
The fellowships are granted by the Atomic Energy Commission to students majoring in chemistry, engineering, biophysics or physics and are for study toward an M.S. degree. In addition to the $2500, $350 will be paid if the student is married. If he has a child, he will receive $250 more.
A traveler can visit Sante Fe, Formosa, Florida, Georgetown, Marlborough, New Amsterdam, Alexandria, and Anapolis without leaving South America.
A student receiving a fellowship would study radiation biophysics for nine months at KU. During the summer the student would go to Hanford, Wash. to work and receive training in the Atomic Energy Commission's plant there. The studies at Hanford would include nuclear energy and the principles of the protection of people from the effects of nuclear radiation.
Applicants for the fellowship may see Frank E. Hoecker, professor of radio biophysics in the radio active isotopes research laboratory.
Yale Prof To Give Humanities Talk
The next Humanities Lecture will be given Feb. 19 by Dr. Roland H. Bainton, professor of ecclesiastical history at Yale University. One of his books, "The Age of the Reformation," is required reading in Western Civilization.
Dr. Bainton's lecture will be on "Erasmus, Amid Currents of Renaissance and Reformation." The Yale scholar will be on the campus Feb. 18 to 20 and will participate in the Religious Emphasis Week program. He will also meet with proctors and instructors in Western Civilization and will speak to classes in history, philosophy, and religion.
He is the author of "Here I Stand, A Life of Martin Luther," "The Travail of Religious Liberty," "Hunted Heretic: A Study of Michael Servetus," and "The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century.
Sophomore Awarded Panhel Scholarship
Creta Carter, Lawrence sophmore, has been awarded the annual Panhellenic Council scholarship for undergraduate women. The announcement was made by Sheila Dye, Wichita senior and chairman of the Panhellenic Scholarship Committee.

Mission accomplished... top-of-the-world and back non-stop
Eight global bombers, powered by mighty turbojets, recently set nonstop records in 16,000- to 17,000-mile flights described as a "routine training mission to demonstrate the capability of the B-52 and the men who fly it". Flying continuously for as long as $32\frac{1}{2}$ hours, the mammoth aircraft — each powered by eight Pratt & Whitney Aircraft J-57 turbojets — winged northward from air bases in California and Maine, over Thule, Greenland, continued to the North Pole, then returned by way of Anchorage, Alaska, to land in San Francisco, Baltimore, or Limestone, Maine.
During this spectacular top-of-the-world mission, temperatures as low as 65 degrees below zero were encountered, speeds approached 700 miles per hour, altitudes in excess of 35,000 feet were maintained, and each Boeing B-52 was refueled in mid-air several times. Powering the KC-97 Stratofreighters that accomplished the task of in-flight refueling were the mightiest piston engines ever built — P & W A's R-4360 Wasp Majors.
"Mission accomplished" . . . a brief but all-encompassing tribute to the Stratofortress flight crews, to the Air Force's Strategic Air Command, and to the gigantic team of engineers in the aviation industry whose years of research and accomplishment represent thousands upon thousands of engineering man-hours that were required to make these record-breaking flights a reality.
