Flint refurbishing is near finish
The first extensive remodeling of Flint Hall since 1952 is expected to be finished in early January, Dana Lebenebang, assistant manager at the School of Journalism, said yesterday.
Korea, Mexico, Italy, Sweden, India and Peru will be available.
The remodeling of the third floor started the first week of June and was originally to be completed by Nov. 1. Most of the building was not in use before the remodeling began.
Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning and operations, said it was hard to predict exactly when the construction would begin. The company expects the floor to be ready for the spring semester.
"We have a wide variety of Christmas items, particularly from the Scandinavian countries," she said. "This year we have aid from the People's Republic of China."
Lawton said the project involved a contract for third floor rooms and offices, and a contract for third floor air conditioning. He said it would be ready when the air conditioning would be ready.
The School of Journalism moved into Flint in 1952 with 79 undergraduate, according to William Kelly, associate dean of admissions and records.
This is the first year China has placed items of the market, and their work is of importance.
Flint has only two air conditioned classrooms, Leibengood said.
The International Gift Fair is a moneymaking project for KUY, which is affiliated with the National Student Y group. About one-sixth of the group's budget comes from the gift fair, which this year has an inventory of around $8,000.
Today the school has grown to 615 undergraduates and 44 graduate students, Leibengood said, and additional room is badly needed.
Products were ordered in September by the student Y cabinet, consisting of about 12 students. The prices for the items will range from $1.50 to $25.

KU-Y has no foreign students on its student cabinet this year. The organization acts as a home base for students involved in the home organization, presents the advocate's work, and raises social and political consciousness. It is also a resource center for students.

13 foreign students to each get $165
Thirteen foreign graduate students who alleged misrepresentation of their financial responsibilities by the University will be allocated an extra $185, according to Arnold Weiss, assistant dean of the graduate school.
By RAFAEL SANTOS Minorities Reporter
Waiss said yesterday that the money was drawn from uncommitted funds for the 1975盐库灾险.
The graduate school isn't sure whether a fellowship program will be affected, he said. There are many students holding fellowships with the graduation or decide to finish their studies.
In that case, he said, the money originally allocated to these students will be used to cover the hole made in the program to meet the demands of the 13 students.
contended that the letters of award mailed to them last summer made it appear that the $1,800 cash stipend allocated would cover all their essential expenditures at KU.
Last week, the students who were awarded Direct Exchange Scholarships,
However, the students alleged that the stipend wasn't enough to cover their expenses and asked the graduate school for more money.
"It's a compromise between what the students complain and what we can really afford."
Early this semester the same students were given an extra $200 cash stipend which was drawn from the money originally allocated to the two students who didn't show up out of the 15 students awarded with Direct Exchange Scholarships.
So far this semester there has been a 20 per cent increase over the normal stipend level, Weiss said. The school considered the fact that the cost of living has gone up sharply this year before providing the extra money, he said.
A letter that contained the decision taken by the graduate school regarding the petition was mailed to the concerned students yesterday.
"I think that the $365 over and above the original stipend level, considering they've got a 20 per cent increase on their stipend level does take reasonably good care of them," I believe that if they budgeted it adequately it should be enough." Weiss said.
The graduate students will probably schedule a meeting today to discuss and prepare a response regarding the extra cash stipend, Pleban said.
"I wouldn't encourage them," he said.
"We have gone just as far as we can."
KU service center to have open house
Wess said any more money in addition to the extra allocation already made would be hard to get. The graduate school doesn't need students to cover further increases, he said.
The University Community Service Center (UCSC) will have an open house at 3:08 p.m. today in the UCSC building, The University Health Clinic, situated behind Twelfth Street.
"It will mainly be an opportunity for the public to meet with people to learn what the center is all about," Edith Black, assistant director of the School of Social Welfare, said yesterday.
UCSC was established last fall by the School of Social Welfare to expand student field experiences in the Lawrence area, Scott McGill, UCSC director, said.
Requests also were made to the center by neighborhood associations, individuals and families.
McGill said UCSC received referrals from community agencies such as the Douglas Legal Aid Society Inc., the Douglas County Juvenile Court and the public schools.
He said the opportunity for students to design their own learning experiences was a big part of his experience.
