Creole Grant Given to KU
KU has received $1,500 from The Creole Foundation as a cost-of-education payment for the three Venezuelans who are enrolled this year on Creole scholarships.
The Foundation makes a minimum grant of $500 per scholarship student in recognition of the gap between fees and the actual cost of instruction. This year it is making $43,500 in payments to 44 United States schools where 65 Venezuelans are studying.
"This evidence of interest in providing additional operating funds for schools and in the education of young people from other countries is a worthwhile venture and one deeply appreciated," Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said.
The Foundation is supported by funds from the Creole PetroJeum Corp., an affiliate of the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey).
Professor Studies Bubbles
Heat a liquid to a boil and it bubbles.
A KU professor will study bubbles with financing from a 2-year grant of $42,200 from the National Science Foundation.
He is Russell B. Mesler, professor of chemical engineering, whose project involves bubble growth in nucleate boiling, a specialty he followed for ten years and whose earlier discoveries led to the new grant.
For centuries man has known that liquids boil when heated, but no one bothered about the exact nature of boiling. Prof. Mesler's new project will focus upon the speed with which bubbles grow when they first appear on a boiling-surface.
CURRENT THEORIES about bubble growth often do not account for the speed of growth. Dr. Mesler attributes the speed to two factors considered in no previous theory: the evaporation of a thin liquid film beneath the newly formed bubble and the boiling-surface, and the effect of different bubble shapes on the rate of growth.
Unlocking the secrets of bubbles has a tremendous potential as nearly all the electrical power in the United States is produced by steam. Power is not being produced with optimum efficiency nor will it be until the nature of steam production is fully understood.
Prof. Mesler hopes to contribute to the understanding.
Four graduate students who will assist in the work are Wayne Green of Russell; N. B. Hospeti, India; Javier DeSapena, Valencia, Spain, and Rogelio Gianan, Manila, Philippines.
Sears Awards Grant
A $600 grant from the Sears-Roebuck Foundation will enable KU to use a new approach in the training of social workers in the development of social group work skills.
Prof. R. Paul Brotsman said the first experimental funds would be used by graduate students training in the Pennway Plaza Housing project and the Mattie Rhodes Neighborhood Center of Kansas City. Mo. It is hoped soon to expand this idea to Kansas City, Kan.
"The goal is to get people started in self-help programs." Professor Brotsman explained, "but too often the underprivileged do not have the few dollars needed for intelligent self-help.
"WE ARE deeply appreciative of the efforts of Richard Stewart of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation in obtaining the 'need' money."
The grant will facilitate the purchase of such items as sewing machines, cooking utensils, and equipment for home repair and decoration.
The obstacle to self-help often is that the woman does not know the homemaking skills or even more simply that she lacks the most basic equipment for proper cooking or home care, Professor Brotsman said.
GRADUATE STUDENTS will use the items purchased by the Sears-Roebuck funds generally in group centers but on occasion will move into homes.
"The needs for the training program are modest but until now it has often been stymied because too often there was no way to make the small purchase unless the student went to his or her own purse," Prof. Brotsman said.
Oral Narratives Studied
A Weil Institute summer fellowship has been awarded to Robert A. Georges, assistant professor of English at KU, to facilitate his study of "The Function of Oral Religious Narratives Among Immigrants to America."
Prof. Georges will do research in archives and field work this summer, making headquarters at Lawrence, Indiana University and the University of California at Los Angeles. The fellowship will defray traveling and living expenses.
The Weil Institute, established by a New York attorney and sponsored by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, gives eight summer fellowships to faculty who are engaged in studies involving the interconnection of the humanities with religion. The post-doctoral fellows are chosen for the reputations for scholarship irrespective of denominational commitment.
Prof. Georges has been studying religious narratives among immigrant groups for the past five years. This summer he will concentrate on the groups coming from East and Southern Europe. His materials will ultimately be assembled into a book.
Despite Surgeon's Findings Smokers Continue Their Ways
By Jane Larson
Supposedly, good health is worth more than all the gold in the world but not worth giving up your cigarettes.
Exactly one year ago the Surgeon General issued a report which definitely linked cancer and smoking. As a result of this report, cigarette sales temporarily dropped and the sale of cigarettes was banned on campus property.
Although it was proved that cigarettes are detrimental to health, the report apparently has not sufficiently scared many persons into completely breaking the habit.
STEVE CULBERTSON, Coffeyville junior, said, "I just buy my cigarettes at the Call instead of the Union. I don't think the report has affected my smoking at all."
Sandra Gustafson, assistant director of Corbin Hall, said, "The girls seem to be smoking about as much as before, maybe a little less. I can't see that they have changed their habits much, they just buy their cigarettes at different places."
"For about a week everybody quit buying cigarettes trying to quit, but now they're bumming just as many cigarettes again. I'd quit but I just like to smoke," Dale Reinecker, Wellington junior, said.
"There would be no reason to affect my smoking," John Welch, El Paso, Tex., senior, said, "If it was known before that smoking caused cancer, why should everyone stop just because an official report was issued."
PATRICIA MURDOCK. Columbus senior, said, "I quit right after the

report came out but then everybody else went back to smoking so I did too."
"I'll quit for awhile," Mike Grady. Colby sophomore, said, "but then someone will offer me one and I'll start all over again."
Although the report may not have convinced the majority to break the habit, it has provoked feelings of concern for health with many smokers.
DENNIS TUG GLE, Cimarron sophomore, said. "I started thinking about it and asked myself why I was smoking. I realized it was just when I was with other people. I'm in sports and knew it would hurt me so I switched to a pipe."
"I quit smoking for awhile." Pat Johnston, North Kansas City, Mo., senior, said, "When I went back to smoking I used a Targuard, but it became too much trouble. I think they should do something about cigarettes."
"I'm more conscious of it during final week when I smoke, but I seldom think about it otherwise," Reinecker said.
"Maybe I'm more conscious about it. I feel more guilty when I cough," Culbertson said.
PAT WISE, Oklahoma City junior, said, "I quit smoking completely because as a singer I thought it would be better for my voice. I'm amazed that I haven't craved one since."
Walkout to Move Star Tilt
NEW ORLEANS — (UPI) — Bourbon Street, where the saints go marching in, sent two Negro pro football players marching out yesterday—right out of town and they took the American Football League's all-star game with them.
The 20 Negroes on the East and West squads, complaining that they had been discriminated against because of their color by Bourbon Street night spots and taxi drivers, refused to play in next Saturday's all-star game, if it was held here.
"PEOPLE SHOUTED INSULTS and doors were shut in our faces," said San Diego defensive back Dick Westmoreland.
AFL Commissioner Joe Foss promptly yanked the game out of New Orleans but said it would still be played Saturday—in some

Also withdrawn was the annual meeting of league owners and officials, scheduled to open in New Orleans Wednesday.
"Besides," he said, "you have 20 members of your ball clubs pull out and that doesn't leave you anything to do but cancel the game."

"There are so many people", Welch said, "who smoke all their lives and never get cancer."
The removal of the vending machines has caused an economic change where cigarette sales were previously sold.
"I feel so much better about it." Miss Wise continued, "it's nice sitting in the theater and not craving a cigarette, just waiting for the show to end so that I can have one. I don't just live for that next cigarette like so many."

MRS. DOROTHY CALLAHAN, clerk at the Kansas Union, said revenue has been cut since the prohibiting of cigarette sales by the Board of Regents. Although they are still busy they were busier when cigarette sales were allowed.
The counter, Mrs. Callahan said, now sells and stocks more cigars and candy. "To satisfy their cigarette taste the customers buy more candy and many men have switched to cigars," she said.
The money previously used from cigarette machines in Hashinger Hall Miss Watson said, were for the Hashinger library. Since this revenue has been cut out the residence hall has installed additional machines to make up for the loss.
Joseph R. Pearson Hall has found a similar solution to the problem. After the cigarette machines were removed an additional soft drink machine was installed.
