Students Study Soviet Life And Language In Europe
By Bruce Levitt
Two KU graduate students were among 40 Slavic language majors from all over the country to be awarded scholarships last summer to study Russian at the Intensive Russian Language institute in Jarvenpää, Finland.
David and Ann Glaze, Lawrence graduate students, spent seven weeks studying at the institute, and then toured Russia for the remaining three weeks of the summer.
Glaze described life at the institute as being much like that on the KU campus. Dormitory and classroom facilities were both located in a grade school converted for the use of the institute. Classes began at 8 a.m. with grammar study. After a break at noon for lunch, the afternoon was spent in conversation lab which ended at 5 p.m.
"THE EVENINGS," Glaze said, "were mostly taken up by study since there weren't many recreational facilities in the town."
The Glazes said they found the citizens of Jarvenpää friendly.
"They felt sorry for us because we studied all the time," said Mrs. Glaze, "so they took up a collection and sent 15 of us on a trip to the lake country. My husband and I both got to go on the trip."
The Glazes said that they, as well as the other students at the institute, became enthusiasts of the Finnish "Sauna", or steam bath. The temperature in the sauna ranged from 105 to 135 degrees. After the steam bath itself, Glaze said it was the practice to take a cold shower or a dip in a cold lake. In the winter the sauna is followed by rolling in the snow.
THEIR TOUR of Russia took them to the cities of Leningrad, Moscow, Novgorod and Kalinin. The trip to Russia for the Glazes was more than just a linguistic experience.
"The trip was a fantastic eye opener to the Russian way of life," Glaze said. "During the day we

little contact with the Russian people as individuals.
"IN FACT, THERE is practically no individuality allowed to exist as far as we could see," said Mrs. Glaze. "In the evenings we did get to talk with young communist groups but the talks always ended in debates which they attempted to make into indoctrination sessions."
Centennial KUFilmed
At the present time, the Department of Radio-Television-Film is nearing the completion of the filming of one of the largest projects it has ever undertaken. This project is the 15-minute color film of KU entitled, "Second Century."
They said the topics most often discussed were racial prejudice, Viet Nam, and unemployment.
Three Teachers To Child Center
This expansion has brought three new members to its staff at KU, and all three are working in the Child Development Center of the department.
"Once or twice we got to talk to one person from the group, alone," Glaze said. "When we were alone for a few moments they got very curious. They wanted to know everything about the U.S. They found it hard to believe that Mrs. Glaze and I were both college students with a car and a home of our own."
The department of Human Development and Family Life, apart from being one of the youngest departments on the campus, is also one of the fastest growing.
Donald Baer, an experimental child psychologist, comes to KU from the University of Washington in Seattle. Apart from his work in the department he is also a professor in the psychology department.
Montrose Wolf, also an experimental child psychologist, comes from the University of Arizona. At KU he is an assistant professor in the Child Development Center.

The film, written and directed by Gene Boomer, a lecturer in the Radio-Television-Film Department, is produced by Dr. Bruce Linton, the university director of the department with the assistance of the KU Endowment Association.
THE FILM is narrated by Bill Shipley, a 1940 KU graduate, who is known as the "Voice of Prudential."
Most of the filming crew are graduate students in Radio-Television-Film, although many undergraduates of the department are involved.

THEY OBSERVED that the average Russian worker lives a poor existence, as there is a shortage of nearly all necessary consumer goods.
The filming will continue for the remainder of the semester. It will be edited and released next spring.
The purpose of the film is to depict KU's potential for the next century. It also shows the highlights of KU during its first century and the present.
The film will be shown to KU student and alumni groups and will be available to Kansas television upon its release next spring.
"The average worker earns about $130 a month." Glaze said. "Out of that he must buy food at prices for butter to two dollars a pound and milk for 70 cents a quart. Meat, such as ham, costs around four dollars a pound."
