Rest Helps Scholar
By Barbara Phillips
A philosophy and English major at KU, who loves to dance and claims he sleeps slower than other people has been named a 1966 Rhodes scholar.
Stephen R. Munzer, Salina senior, will travel to England in September or October to begin work at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. Munzer is the 18th KU graduate to be awarded the scholarship which has an approximate value of $2500 a year. He will study either two or three years for a Bachelor of Philosophy degree.
MUNZER GETS nine to 10 hours of sleep a night because, he says, "I sleep slower than other people."
Although he does not cram for a test, he said, "I've never gotten a paper finished ahead of time. I just kind of read along."
Named a Phi Beta Kappa his junior year, Munzer is also the vice-chairman of the College Intermediary Board; a member of Owl Society, junior men's honorary; Sachem, senior men's honorary; and is on the editorial board of the University Review.
Munzer said about the Rhodes scholarship. "I think it gives you the opportunity to live in a foreign country for two to three years in such a situation that you have a chance to develop your own personality."
HIS PLANS AFTER Oxford are incomplete now, but they may include a future in university teaching or law.
Munzer will join two other KU Rhodes scholars still studying at Oxford; Breon Mitchell (64), Salina, and George Barisas ('65), Kansas City, Mo.
THIRTY-TWO UNIVERSITY or college seniors in the U.S. each year are named Rhodes Scholars and awarded two years of study at Oxford at the bequest of Cecil Rhodes, English philanthropist who built a diamond empire in South Africa.
Rhodes stressed goals of public service and world understanding, indicating that he wished the Rhodes Scholar to be "the best man for the world's fight" in his will of 1902 which instituted the scholarships.

Non-resident Aim
Fee Raise Discussed
An increased tuition for nonresident students at Kansas state schools is being eyed by school officials and state legislators as an additional source of revenue
for the 1967 fiscal year budget.
The discussed increase comes in the light of the record-high request by the Board of Regents for $97.7 million for next year.
Banker to Regents
A 1945 graduate of KU, C.N. (Ned) Cushing, was appointed to the Kansas Board of Regents by Governor William H. Avery last week.
The 42-year-old Cushing is president of the Downs National Bank and is a former vice president of the KU Alumni Association. Cushing replaces Whitley Austin, editor of the Salina Journal, who asked the Governor that he not be considered for reappointment. Austin had served on the board since January 1 1958.

Governor Avery reappointed to new 4-year terms Dwight Klinger of Ashland and Henry Budd of Topeka.
Klinger, a Democrat, was graduated from Kansas State University and has been on the Board since January 1, 1962. Budd, a Republican, is a KU graduate and has been on the Board since 1961. Klinger is a cattleman and farmer while Budd is president of Capitol Federal Savings and Loan.
The new nine-member board will have seven KU graduates and two from Kansas State University.
THE POSSIBILITY of increased fees for both non-resident and resident students was raised at the Dec. 17 meeting of the Board of Regents. The principal focus was on out-of-state students, however, since an overall tuition increase was effected this fall.
The outcome of the meeting was a request that the State Department of Economic Analysis study the financial impact of non-resident students upon Kansas and its colleges.
RHODES SCHOLAR TO RHODES SCHOLAR-James K. Logan, dean of the KU School of Law and Rhodes Scholarship winner in 1952, talks to Stephen Munzer, Salina senior and 1966 KU Rhodes Scholar.
CHANCELLOR WESCOE said yesterday he sees little or no likelihood of an increase being enacted for the 1966-67 term.
Only three Big Eight schools—Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State—have lower fees for resident students than does KU. Four schools, the three previously mentioned, and Missouri, have lower non-resident rates.
Out-of-state students compose 16.8 per cent of total enrollment at state schools. Approximately 3,600 of the nearly 14,000 students at KU are non-residents.
Revue Has Finals 'First'
McCollum Hall Enters
Independents returned from Christmas vacation to a special Christmas present. For the first time in 16 years, an independent had made it into the finals of Rock Chalk Revue.
McCOLLUM HALL WITH Alpha Omicron Pi will represent the independents as well as the Greeks. Other pairings will be Beta Theta Pi and Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Kappa Lambda and Chi Omega, and Sigma Chi and Kappa Kappa Gamma.
The four pairings who advanced to the finals were announced Monday by Bill Boulware, Leawood senior and producer of the 1966 Rock Chalk.
McCOLLUM HALL AND THE AOII's script is entitled "Where There's a Will, There's a Play." Jon Putnam, Prairie Village junior, is producer and director.

Other skit titles are "Joust a Little Beat" by the Betas and Gamma Phi's, "What TNE Means to Me or AWS I Love Your Best," by AKL and Chi Omega, and "The Saga of Lt. Archibald Lunch or How to Survive a Sand Dune Party," by Sigma Chi and Kappa Kappa Gamma.

This is the first year for McColium hall, the newest KU residence hall, which opened its doors in September. Most of the returning residents had moved from Ellsworth, where they had attempted to enter Rock Chalk two years ago.

THE 1966 REVUE will be March 3, 4, and 5 in Hoch Auditorium. Final judging will be March 4 and 5 during performance. Boulware said.
Rehearsals will begin February 14.
Four-hundred and fifty women residents of Ellsworth Hall will "go home" to Lewis Hall next fall.
Hall to Switch Sex With Fall of 1966
The proposed move was approved last night after Emily Taylor, dean of women, conferred with some 30 members of the Ellsworth Hall Senate to determine if the move were satisfactory to a majority of the residents. Members nearly unanimously agreed that it would be.
ALTHOUGH SOME 625 women now live in Ellsworth Hall, the majority will be accommodated by the move. The remaining upperclass women will be able to live in Oliver Hall, and Naismith Hall, to be completed by next fall.
J. J. Wilson, director of the dormitory system, said that no changes of major consequence would be needed in the conversion of the halls, merely minor physical changes would be made. He also mentioned that there will be a different parking problem, as Ellsworth is once again filled with men students.
THE IDEA for the change was the collective effort of Dean Woodruff, Dean Taylor, Dean Alderson, and myself to forecast
housing for next year's breakdown between men and women's balls." he said.
THE DECISION was met, on the most part, with approval by Ellsworth residents. Mrs. Doris Sindt, resident director at Ellsworth, said, "We always need to take advantage of building space, to see that it is used appropriately. Moving groups to accommodate new students is always a very good idea.
He mentioned that Naismith Hall will be available for the first time next year on a coeducational basis and that freshman women will probably not be allowed to live in it. There will be less need for space for upper-class women, who will be able to live in Naismith or Oliver Hall, he said.
ELLSWORTH women expressed surprise and happiness at the move. Some mentioned that they will enjoy the added parking space, but most felt that they were going back to "their hall." Many of the women who now live in Ellsworth Hall were former residents of Lewis Hall, and hoped someday that they could move back.
Dean Keeps Post
Burton Marvin, former dean of the KU School of Journalism, has withdrawn his resignation from the University of Tel Aviv in Israel after a re-negotiation of his agreement with the University.
Marvin, in a letter to Warren K. Agee, dean of the School of Journalism, said, "Unexpected developments in the politics of the situation led to the withdrawal of my resignation and a renegotiation of my agreement."
A committee elected from his class protested Marvin's resignation. The committee conferred with the Rector and the President of the University.
Marvin has agreed to remain at the Israeli University until the end of this school year. His original agreement had been for two
years. Marvin is to return to teaching duties at KU this fall.
Marvin left KU last August to accept the Israeli post and set up a new journalism program and mass communication center there.
The basic misunderstanding which arose was between the two schools of thought, the Jerusalem Post. Dec. 24, stated.
"One, inherited from Europe, is that a university is a place of pure learning, unconcerned with the practical side of man's day-to-day struggle for existence. The other school, the American attitude to higher learning, holds that a university should provide specialized training for the young people who will be asked to fill the country's executive posts."
