Sept. 28 is application deadline for 8 Fulbright Program grants
The deadline to apply for a grant for graduate study under the Fulbright program during the 1980-81 academic year is May 31, 2016, according to Anita Herzif, program adviser.
Herzfeld said the 28th also was the deadline for submitting Direct Exchange Fellowship applications.
One form is good for application to both grant programs and is available in 108 Strong Hall, she said.
Herfzell had any senior or graduate student was eligible to apply for the program. Which is part of the federal education, educational and cultural exchange program.
The application form requests general and personal information, including the country the applicant wishes to travel to, she said.
Herrfeld said KU annually awarded eight fulbright grants and 15 Direct Exchange Fellowships.
Applicants will be notified if they are
accepted for either program by next April, she said.
One KU student who received a Fulbright grant for the 1979-80 academic year is Mary Muffin, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student and slave文学 linguistics studies.
MUFICH WILL LEAVE at noon today for Beliradze, Yuzoslavia.
She is one of 350 American students who were selected for a Fulbright award.
"The grant is a travel grant that will pay for my trip over and back and also my books and tuition," she said.
Mutch said she would receive an additional monthly allowance for living expenses, which would bring the total grant amount to about $6,500.
Mufch will be studying and working at the University of Zagreb in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, which is located in the northern part of the country.
"Mostly what I'll be doing is research for a professor in the linguistics department over there. The department is also working
on material to teach English in Yugoslavia,
so I think I'll be working on that as well," she said.
MUFICH SAID SHE also would like to work on her thesis to complete her master's decree.
Mulch, who received her undergraduate degree in French and Slavic and Soviet area studies from KU in 1975, said this would be her second trip to Yugoslavia.
"I went to a summer program there in 1975 and stayed an additional three months, so I know my way around pretty well," she said.
Mufich said she was going to Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia for an orientation program before going on to Zagreb.
Classes start on Oct. 1 and continue through the end of June, she said.
Mufidi said she hoped to stay in Europe another two or three months after the program ended and then come back to the States and find a job a teaching English.
Greek Week to begin Sunday with cross-country bike race
Members of the 40 social fraternities and sororites on the KU campus will begin Greek Week '19 with a cross-camp bike ride. The event will be chaired by a chairman for the event, said yesterday.
The race marks the beginning of an annual celebration involving 3,000 members of the KU Greek system.
"We feel that Greek Week provides a great opportunity for students to get know each other." Booher said. "This is important when a college's sororities and fraternities are spread out throughout the state."
"In the 1960s, as interest in sororities and fraternities here declined, interest in them has increased. We're trying this year to bring more alumni to make it more popular. At other colleges, the celebration is the big event of the summer. This is what we are working toward."
BOOGHER SAID THE Greek Week committee had planned a community ice cream social this year so Lawrence became more involved in the celebration.
The celebration's opening event, the bike race, will start at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Bikers will start at Daisy Hill and will compete on a route that winds through neighborhoods where are expected to donate about $40 in prize money to the charity of their choice.
"Fraternities and sororities have a certain stigma attached to them," he said. "We hope to cut this back."
Later that day, South Park will be the setting for an all-greek picture at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, where they will schedule for 7:30 p.m. Monday at Hochstetten and bring groups will participate in the singl
nities and one sorority represented by each group.
