Scholarship Hopefuls Hear About Fulbrights
Personality and caliber of the individual are important in studying abroad, John A. Burzle, professor of German, and the Fulbright adviser at KU, told students at the Fulbright Forum Wednesday afternoon in Fraser Hall.
The Fulbright Program, largest in scope of its kind, sends about 1.000 American students overseas annually. So far 42 KU graduates have studied under the program since 1950. Application for an overseas scholarship under the program should be sent to the Campus Fulbright Adviser by Nov. 1.
Other Scholarships Available
Other Scholarships Available Besides this program, which is under the supervision of the Department of State, there are many official and private scholarships available, Dr. Burzle said. KU maintains direct exchange programs with one Swiss and three German universities.
The Rotary International program, one of the best available, guarantees from $2,000 to $3,000 annually for a study in any country which has a Rotary organization. Two students from each state are nominated annually.
The Scholarship Programs are the Ford Foundation program for studies in Asia, Eastern Europe, U.S.S.R. and the Near East, the ATO program for studies in NATO countries, the Rhodes program for studies at Oxford University, the Belgium-American Fund, a special program for those interested especially in Belgium, the Marshal Scholarships given by the British Government for study in the United Kingdom, and the Buenos Aires Convention for those with the Spanish language background study in Latin American countries.
Degrees Sometimes Necessary
Many foreign governments offer scholarships to American students for studies in their countries.
Degree. M. of the scholarships are for graduate students and sometimes degrees are required, Dr. Burzle said. There are, however, quite a few opportunities for professors and researchers.
The Fulbright program, which usually is for one year only, pays travel expenses from your home to the university and to your home again. Approximately $2,500 is given to a grantee.
Grantees under the program will be judged by the applicant's transcript, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, and screening on local and national level.
The KU scholarships are maintained with the Institute of Technology in Switzerland, University of Tubingen for natural sciences and humanities. University of Munster for mathematics, and University of Kiel for political and social sciences. These universities are in Germany.
Last year 20 thousand students studied abroad and 40 thousand students from foreign countries studied in the United States, Dr Burzie said.
Storage Building Bids Opened
Bids have been opened for a metal storage building for the State Geological Survey to be erected behind Lindley Hall.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor said a bid of $11,028 by Armco Drainage and Metal Products, Topeka, is being considered by University officials and the state architect.
Other bidders were Atkins Construction Co., Oklahoma City, Okla., Topeka Foundry and Iron Works, Topeka, and Manufacturers Sales, Inc., Topeka.

Junior Panhellenic To Meet
Dean George R. Waggoner of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will leave next week to visit 15 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada which are carrying on experiments with superior students. He will be gone from Oct. 15 to Nov. 17 and Dec. 2-15.
The trips will complete a project for the Carnegie Corp. of New York begun last fall when Dean Waggoner spent a month visiting various campuses across the nation.
Last year the College tried a new system of advertising Watkins and Summerfield scholars and finalists. Members of the College Administrative Committee acted as advisors to these students, allowing them to take junior-senior courses, skip prerequisites, and take more than the usual limit of hours.
Junior Panhellenic Council will meet at 4:30 p. m. Monday at the Alpha Delta Pi sorority house, 1600 Oxford Rd.
New Program For Superior Students
"Giving the exceptional student more freedom to plan his own schedule permits him to advance more rapidly at his own level and enables the instructors to spend the class periods explaining material more thoroughly to the other students." Dean Waggoner explained.
These students were also in special Western Civilization discussion groups and many took honors courses in English and mathematics. This year honors lab sections have been set up for Zoology II, Chemistry II and Physics V. About 70 students are taking part in the program.
"The grades of the ones who participated last year are equal to or better than those of exceptional students in former years," he said.
Quintetto Concert Set For Friday
The first concert of the KU Chamber Music Series will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday when the Quintetto Boccherini appears in Strong Auditorium. The personnel will be the same as when it was in Lawrence two years ago with one exception.
Believed to be the first ensemble of its kind, the Quintetto Boccherini, composed of two violinists, one violist and two cellists, specialize in the performance of music by Boccherini who wrote well over 100 compositions for the "cello quintet." Much of this music had never been played until the Italian quintet was formed.
One of the violinists, Guido Mozato, was obliged to forego the tour this year because of the serious illness of his son who has polio. Pina Carmirelli, one of the founders and original members of the quintet, will replace him.
Friday's program will include the Bocherciner Quintet in C Minor, the Vivaldi Concerto in C major, the Cherubini Quintet in E minor and the Quintet "Tombeau de Chopin" by Tansman.
Tuesday's University Daily Kansan carried a story about Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, retired basketball coach, blasting the Amateur Athletic Union in a Kansas City speech Monday. Credit for a motion passed by the chamber which recommended that the national Junior Chamber of Commerce abstain from any co-operation with the AAU until the Wes Santee case was fairly dealt with, goes to the state organization instead of the Kansas City group as reported To The Daily Kansan. The motion was originally presented by the Lawrence and Great Bend chambers.

Eisenhower To Win Again 3 Of 4 Panelists Agree
By RAY WINGERSON
(Daily Kansan Editorial Editor)
Three our of four of the Graduate Club's panel members said that President Eisenhower would win the presidential election, at a panel discussion of "Which Is the Party of the Future" in the Pine Room of the Student Union Wednesday.
Prof. Smith said that President Eisenhower had been "an extremely lucky politician" because he no sooner than took office than Red China decided to stop fighting, Stalin died and Soviet Russia put on a smile.
Prof. Smith and Skinner took the Democrats side and said it was the party of the future because, as Prof. Smith said, the Democratic Party was the liberal and "majoritarian" party with multi-interest appeals, as opposed to the single-interest Republican Party.
Clarence Hein, instructor of political science, said the Republicans would win both the presidency and Congress because they are taking over the new political era by being first with an appeal to new and increasing suburban groups.
The four panel members agreed that both parties had taken a weak stand on racial desegregation at the party conventions.
Ted Barnes, Salina graduate law student, said the Republicans would win. Rhoten Smith, assistant professor of political science declined to predict.
Although the discussion was arranged without an idea for debate, panel members soon showed their political colors.
He also said the Democrats had more leadership in reserve than did the Republicans.
Mr. Hein and Ted Barnes were Republican-minded. Mr. Hein cited political cycles through the history of the United States and said that the Republicans, with their first appeal to the burburban group, have a good political climate.
Robert Skinner, Mission graduate student, said that the President's popularity would carry him in November but that the De-encorers would retain a majority in Congress.
Drama Group Sponsors Talks
The University Players, student drama organization, will sponsor monthly lectures given by eminent authorities in the field of drama and associated topics.
The first speaker will be Harold Harvey of Centron Pictures Inc., Lawrence, who will discuss "You and the Motion Picture," at 2:00 p.m. Sunday in the Pine Room of the Student Union.
Mr. Harvey, a KU graduate, was a teacher in the department of speech and drama before becoming a produced of commercial television and industrial films. He was also active as a designer, director, producer, and actor in University Theatre productions while an undergraduate and for the past three years has served as production consultant of the Rock Chalk Revue.
The public is invited Sunday to view slides and film strips and to participate in the discussion. Refreshments will be served.
Speakers tentatively engaged for the remainder of this semester include: Walter Meserve, assistant professor of English, who will discuss early American dramatists; Tomi Yadon, Lawrence dancer, who will discuss and demonstrate ballet and modern dance, and Dean George Waggoner, of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, who will speak on Elizabethan dramatists other than Shakespeare.
At 40 years of age, Fred Hall of Kansas, is the nation's youngest Republican governor.
