Peace Corps Begins Making Year's Plans
KU's Peace Corps Committee, one of the first created in the nation, has begun its plans for the 1964-65 school year.
The committee was started in the spring of 1962 by interested students. Since that time nearly eighty such committees have formed throughout the nation.
One of this year's co-chairmen, Donna Hanneman, Junction City senior, said, "The committee's purpose is to heighten interest in the Peace Corps and to provide information about it." The other cochairman is John Sapp, Astoria, Ill. junior.

Grants to Help In Two Areas
New equipment to go with new undergraduate teaching methods will be bought with two grants from the National Science Foundation.
The chemistry department received $5,000 and the botany department, $3,480, for "undergraduate instructional scientific equipment" programs. Under terms of the grants, KU will provide matching funds.
THE AWARDS FOLLOW announcement last May that KU would receive $46,850 from the NSF, to be matched by the University, for equipment in physics, electrical engineering and anthropology.
The main pieces the chemistry department will buy are automatic, one-pan analytical balances, for use by students in freshman chemistry courses. The balances will enable the students to weigh as fast and as accurately as more advanced researchers. In the process, more laboratory time will be freed.
Two ovens and smaller pieces of equipment also will be bought.
The purchases are part of a year-old program to revamp freshman chemistry laboratory sessions. The program, directed by Clark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry, provides students with more laboratory time, in smaller groups and with guidance of senior faculty members.
Court Updating Session Opens
Possible improvements of Kansas courts will be the main topic at the "Citizens Conference on the Moderization of Kansas Courts" in the Kansas Union tomorrow through Saturday.
Following a dinner at 6:30 p.m. David Prager, district judge from Topeka, will give an address on "The Administration of Justice in Kansas Today." Panel discussions will follow, dealing with the topic of Kansas courts and judges in the Kansas Bar Association event.
A general assembly will open Friday's program with several addresses given by men in the judicial field. Panel discussions concerning different phases of courts and jurisdiction will continue throughout the day.
On Saturday, the conference will close with a final general assembly and reports from each of the discussion teams. The conference will then be evaluated.
About 150 Kansas citizens who are not members of the legal profession will be participating in the conference.

the Peace Corps but very few people know what it really is," she said. "You don't have to be a teacher or engineer to be needed. Almost 70 per cent of the volunteers are liberal arts graduates."
She also said, "The Peace Corps is not a financial hardship; not many people in these professions can save $1600 in two years."
$1600 in two years.
Last summer the research subcommittee prepared a bulletin called "Preparing for the Peace Corps at KU." The pamphlet lists qualifications for volunteers and courses offered at KU of special interest to possible volunteers.

The speakers' committee has also begun work. By mid-October speakers will be available to speak at living groups. A 28-minute film, "Mission of Discovery," will be shown by the speakers. Three recently returned volunteers will aid committee members at these talks.
Peace Corps' recruiting team made up of returned volunteers and Washington staff members, will also be available for speaking the first week of second semester.
A project which was begun by students and Lawrence citizens last year will be finished this semester. Almost 800 books were collected in a door-to-door campaign. These will be sent to English-speaking countries where Peace Corps teams are now stationed.

"The newsletter put out by the committee helps to relate the Peace Corps committee to KU," Miss Haneman said. It will be published once or twice a semester. Coverage will include the activities of volunteers who graduated from KU.
Due to the increased interest in a committee of this type in many other universities, an office has been set up in Washington to aid beginning groups. Nearly 250 committees are expected to form by 1967.
Member Meeting On Tap Tonight
To introduce its activities and executive officers, Student Union Activities will hold a membership meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas Union ballroom.
The meeting will have special appeal to freshmen, Bob Enberg, Wichita senior and SUA president, said. The entire program of the organization, which centers its activities on the Student Union, will be explained.
explained. Executive board members of SUA will also explain the different areas within the organization and interested students will be given an opportunity to talk to each board member.
the meeting, the only open meeting held by SUA during the year, is to encourage students to sign up to work in the various areas of SUA, Enberg said.
First Berger Money Given
Four Watkins Scholars have been named Watkins-Berger scholars for this year.
They are the first recipients of scholarships financed through the Arthur Berger Scholarship fund announced by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe Monday.
The scholarship fund for women, the Emily V. Berger Scholarship Fund named in honor of Berger's sister, is being allocated by the Elizabeth M. Watkins Fund Committee. The recipients are thus being called Watkins-Berger Scholars.
Those named as Watkins-Berger Scholars are Letha M. Schwiesow, Shawnee Mission junior; Judith DeSpain, Wichita senior; Evelyn T. Fearirrg, Lawrence senior, and Linda Ruth Musser, Mission senior.
