KU, CU to Sponsor Russian Study Plan
KU and the University of Colorado will jointly sponsor an intensive Russian language program this summer. The program will include seven weeks of study in Jarvenpaa, Finland, and a three-week tour in the USSR.
The group will stay at a resident center in Jarvenpaa, so Russian can be used in the classroom, the residence center, and in the surrounding community.
Thirteen KU students will be the maximum number allowed to enroll in the group. Group enrollment will be restricted to 40 students.
PROF. HERBERT J. ELLISON, chairman of Slavic and Soviet area studies, said, "Other intensive language programs operate only in this country and the USSR. Our program allows the students to see Finland also."
Twelve semester hours of Russian are required for the intermediate program, which will comprise one-third of the group. The other two-thirds of the group will be students in the advanced program, for which 18 semester hours of Russian are required.
THE INSTRUCTION will emphasize conversation, although there will also be extensive work in grammar and composition.
During the instruction in Finland and the tour of the USSR students will be required to speak only in Russian.
Credit will be awarded for successful completion of the program, which will last from June 7 to August 18. 1965.
The total cost per student for the trip will be $1,200. This includes travel from New York to Finland and back, room and board in Jarvenpaa, 21 days of travel in the USSR, and the summer school fees for KU.
SCHOLARSHIPS OF up to $850 based on financial need will be available.
Application forms and information about the trip may be obtained from Prof. Ellison. The deadline for applications is February 20, 1965.
Project 800 About 60 Per Cent Finished
Work is about 60 per cent complete on "Project $80" in downtown Lawrence, Virgil A. Holdredge, Lawrence city engineer, said.
"Project 800" is a plan for the development of a pedestrian mall along the alley behind stores on the west side of Massachusetts St. and the construction of a 140-car parking lot between the proposed mall and Vermont St.
Holdredge said the covered walkway for pedestrians will run from the curb on Eighth St. to the curb on Ninth St. The mall will be lighted and some plantings will be placed around for beauty.
THE ROOF WILL BE of plywood with gravel on top. It will not join any buildings directly but will run as close to them as possible, Holdredge said.
All the overhead wiring in the alley has been re-installed underground, he said.
The parking lot adjacent to the mall will run almost the full length of the block. Holddredge said it would be paved with asphalt, lighted at night, and will be equipped with parking meters as are other municipal lots.
Land for the project cost about $186,000, Holdredge said. The contracts for construction, including the mall, parking lot, and all accessory work, were let to the Kansas Construction Co. of Lawrence for about $78,000.
two sources. Merchants directly benefiting from the work will be assessed for part of the cost after completion of the project. The remainder of the cost will be financed by revenue bonds held by the city.
Capital for the quarter-of-a-million dollar project will come from
Holdredge estimated that the project would be completed shortly after the first of the year.
