out some drinking. And certainly, the phrase, 'a student's favorite beverage,' does not refer to soda pop.
"This standard has a tremendous influence on impressionable freshmen. Therefore, if the aim of the proposal is to discourage excessive drinking, then it would fail. Rather they need to be taught what the good life is."
Alonzo Flores, music education graduate student and parent, agreed: "A person as young as a grade school student wouldn't be able to make any differentiation between the good and the bad of drinking. In fact, it would probably tend to increase excessive drinking. It wouldn't really prove a thing."
When asked if he thought alcoholic educators might become overzealous in their pre-class preparation, Flores replied, "No. They would be too scared of losing their jobs."
In other words, a liberal alcoholic education would probably fail to eliminate excessive drinking simply because the next generation has to follow this one.
KU to Receive Fellowship Grant
The KU Graduate School will receive an $8,000 grant from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation to provide future assistance to four Wilson fellows who are now studying at KU.
The Wilson Foundation recruits outstanding students to the profession of college teaching. Its own awards are for one year of graduate study. The supplementary grants are to encourage the host institution to assist the fellow beyond the first year.
Seventy-four graduate schools are on the grant list, and other institutions in the Big Eight area are: University of Iowa, $8,000; University of Nebraska, $6,000; St. Louis University, $4,000; Washington University, $8,000; Wichita State University, $2,000; Oklahoma State University, $2,000; and University of Oklahoma, $2,000.
Debates Attract Guest
Oxford University debated the KU debate team here on Oct. 24, 1924. The question was "Resolved that prohibition is unjustified." Special excursions of students came from the Kansas City, Kan., Lawrence, and Topeka high schools, from Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, Washburn and Ottawa Universities.

$2 Million Grant Aids Expansion
KU and the Parsons State Hospital and Training Center will share a $2,150,000 grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Congressman Robert Ellsworth announced recently.
The grant will go toward construction and equipment of a Center for Research on Mental Retardation and Human Development at Lawrence and KUMC campuses and at Parsons.
THE NEW FACILITIES will house a comprehensive program of research and training developed from existing research groups and laboratories. The new center will continue the inter-campus, inter-departmental plan that has been in successful operation among the three sites over a 10-year period.
Dr. Richard L. Schiefelbusch, professor of speech and director of the Bureau of Child Research on the Lawrence campus, will be coordinator for the Center.
KU will receive $1,758,000 and Parsons State Hospital $392,000. KU's share will be divided approximately $1,238,000 at the Medical Center in Kansas City and $520,000 in Lawrence.
THE MATCHING funds, which will bring the center's capital investment to nearly $3 million, will come from private funds and legislative appropriations.
A 23,000-foot wing of two levels will be added to the new building for experimental biology, human development and family life for the project. Construction of the $2.9 million hall east of Summerfield Hall is expected to start this summer.
The expanded research facilities at the medical center will contribute to studies in the basic sciences and in community studies of cultural deprivation, methods of improved classroom learning, better evaluations of behavior deficits, and a variety of studies calling for a combined behavioral and medical research team.
KU Graduate Is Wounded
A KU graduate of less than a year, Second Lieutenant George Lancaster, Junction City, lost a hand from fragmentation wounds suffered in action last Saturday outside Da Nang, South Viet Nam.
Lancaster, a last year graduate in business, received his commission in the Marines in September and was sent to Viet Nam.
Lancaster, a former member of Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity, is now at Clark Air Force Base Hospital in Manila.
He was also wounded in the left leg. His wounds were described as serious; however, he was able to call his parents Sunday night.

The life of Woodrow Wilson will be the subject of "Step Down to Glory," by Gary Heilsberg, a production of the Bishop's Company, 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 24, at the Plymouth Congregational Church.
Must be turned in by January 25
Play Tells Struggle Of Woodrow Wilson
The company consists of 28 actors forming four separate groups. The groups together have given more than 6,000 performances in the United States and Canada.
THE IDEA came from the religious and moral plays of the English Church about 500 years ago. The Bishop's Company's first production was "Boy With a Cart."
THE MEMBERS of the company are volunteers who receive nominal fees. Many are drama students and the turnover among members of the company is high.
The troupe performs in the sanctuaries of various churches using a minimum of physical props. Rather, the members conor foundations, private donors and foreign governments. Blair said most students who are placed are graduates.
The Bishop's Company has received both praise and criticism from the clergy.
International students studying at KU are discussing their experiences in American universities with Robert Blair of the Institute of International Education (IIE).
U.S. Group Aids World Students
Blair works in the Denver, Colo., office of IIE. He met with 66 IIE related students Wednesday and is conducting 46 private interviews.
THE HE IS A private service agency which administrators student exchange programs. It was founded after World War I in 1919 in New York City when the need to contact people from other lands was realized.
EIGHTY-TWO OF KU'S international students have IIE scholarships. Blair said he is very proud of their academic records as a whole.
The New York office places international students in American universities by first asking universities for scholarship openings. The openings are then filled by students who have placed highest on tests and-interviews in their respective countries.
The IIE places Fulbright scholars in addition to students who have received scholarships from the Department of State, large companies
The Denver IIE office, in addition to corresponding with students, plans three-month observation tours for leaders from abroad whose visits are sponsored by the State Department. A vountee core from the Denver area helps conduct the tours.
The main IIE office in New York is located directly across from the United Nations. The five regional offices are located in Denver, Colo.; Chicago, Ill.; San Francisco, Calif.; Houston, Tex., and Washington, D.C.
A third function of the Denver IIE office is to maintain files on study abroad, and to publish a handbook on international study. The office also publishes the only census in the United States of international students studying in this country.
THE NEW YORK office, which is in charge of placements, submits each student's name to ten universities. Once the student is placed he receives mail from the regional IIE office and then makes reports.
