New advising service better, director says

JAMES M. FUNK, Lawrence graduate student, has been awarded a Dissertation Fellowship for study in geology.
Freshman-sophomore advising problems still exist with the consolidated services at Nunemaker College, but coordination of services has improved, James Gowen, professor of English and director of freshman-sophomore English, said yesterday.
Until last April, freshmen and sophomores in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences were advised in the ex-tenured Colleges-Witnith-theCollege program.
The program was dropped because students made it clear they wanted to meet with advisers in their proposed areas of study. But the dean of liberal arts and sciences, said.
The advising system has to rely ultimately on faculty members who aren't familiar with the system.
The new program matches stuents academic interests with advisers from high schools.
Gowen said the 2,000 freshmen who enrolled in the summer weren't always assigned to a faculty member in their field of interest.
Gowen said the system being used this year was much better. But advising ser-
vice managers about its use is not easy.
Sophomores may still find themselves assigned to an attendant outside their area of study. Some may choose not to attend.
she had conducted her advising in her office for several years. Only a little more than one-half of her assigned students attempted to set up counseling appointments, she said.
CWC was an experimental program started in the fall of 1968. It was designed to provide freshmen and sophomores with a college atmosphere within the University by the school of Liberal Arts and Sciences into five colleges where advisers were located.
with the freshmen entering this summer, Lewis said.
The new system is advantageous to students because their records are in Nunemaker, Lewis said, and the student can discuss his problems on a one-to-one basis with his adviser in the faculty member's office.
"The CWC was a little bit like prohibition,
a glorious failure," Robert P. Cobb,
died in 2014.

Amtrak service slated for '76
Schupp said yesterday the train service should start by May 1, 1976.
A Kansas City-to-Denver Amtrak passenger train that will stop in Lawrence will begin service next year, according to Dennis Schupp, an Amtrak sales manager.
The train will depart Kansas City, Mo., in early evening, stop in Lawrence and Topeka, continue across Kansas, and stop in La Junta, Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colo., before arriving in Denver early next morning. Another train will leave Denver to Kansas City, the second back to Kansas City, Mo., arriving in early evening.
Workshop gives tips on grants to go abroad.
Fulbright program advisers attended a workshop at the University of Kansas yesterday to learn how to aid students and grant students to study and teach abroad.
Advisers from more than 20 Midwestern universities attended the workshop, which presented presentations by officers of the U.S. State Department and other national organizations that administer the program. J.A. Burtze, director of foreign study and PHD at the University of Kansas, years, said it was the job of the program adviser to get faculty and students interested in working in foreign countries for a year.
"The adviser must convince the faculty member that his or her teaching is improved and the university's prestige is increased by a year spent abroad," he said. Stewardship of research, achieving and maintaining proficiency in a foreign language so he can study abroad."
About 10 faculty members and 15 to 20 students at KU receive awards from the University of Florida.
THE FULBRIGHT-HAYS PROGRAM, begun in 1948, finances trips to foreign countries for students in the academic year. About 75 per cent of the trips are for lecturing, with the remainder going for study and research, usually at the doctorate level. This year awards are open
Each applicant is reviewed and interviewed by a committee chosen by his university's Fulbright adviser, with the approval of the Committee on International Exchange of Scholars (CIES). Burkle said KU's faculty was composed of nine faculty members and specialists in fine arts and foreign languages.
The committee rates the applicants in several areas and sends the applications to the CIES and the Institute of International Education (IIE), an informational institution whose workshop attendants advice about helping faculty and students with applications.
RICHARD PEAFF, a member of the Near-Eastern Screening Committee, said applicants should avoid sending in anything that might reflect unfavorable on them.
*Competition is so intense that committees often start paying less attention to
an applicant's good points and concentrate on eliminating those with any bad factors."
Theresa Granza, head of the division of Study Abroad programs for the ISE, said the advisers should seek faculty and students without previous experience abroad.
Paff and Granza both said the applicant's personality and proposed project were more important than statistics such as test scores, rank or a student's grade-point score.
"It is very important that the proposal for a lectureship or study grant be clearly written and integrated into the career of the applicant," Granza said. "The proposal should show that the project can be completed within one year and that the applicant needs to travel to the country requested to do the project."
SHE SAID a student with perfect grades and a bad proposal would lose out to a student with average grades and an excellent proposal.
Faff said that grades sometimes made a difference in a committee's decision, but
that committees preferred to use other criteria.
“A student can go to Stanford or Berkeley
or another university any more and get
given a scholarship.”
The grants carry no restrictions regarding sex, ethnic origins, or religion, or age, but Pfaff said some attempt was made to enlist students in areas of the United States receive awards.
adapt to new surroundings and people because the whole purpose of the program was to promote understanding among countries.
Pfaff and Granza said university committees should look for applicants who could
PFAFF SAID the national CIES committees sent their recommendations to the Board of Foreign Scholarships (BFS) for final approval.
The BFS, appointed by the President, makes necessary arrangements with foreign countries for those who receive awards.
