Many Nuns, in Many Areas, Are Students at KU
By Shelley Bray
Noticeable among the brightly colored garbs and chattering of KU summer students is the soft rustle of the black and white habits of nuns.
Most of the nuns studying here this summer will assume teaching positions at Catholic high schools across the country in the fall. Some of them do not as yet know where they will be teaching, according to Sister Mary Cecelia, a Sister of Charity from Leavenworth.
A NUMBER of different orders are represented among the nuns. Attending the Latin workshop are nuns from 10 orders. Among them are two Dominicans, two Benedictines, two Sisters of the Adorers of the Most Precious Blood, one Ursuline, a Sister of the Saints Cyril and Methodius, a Sister of Notre Dame, a School Sister of Notre Dame, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, a Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a Sister of the Congregation of the Most Precious Blood.
SOME OF THE nuns are here for a Latin workshop, sponsored by the American Classical League. The workshop is a conference to study methods of teaching Latin. These nuns come from various sections of the Midwest—Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Most of those attending the Latin workshop are living in Joseph R. Pearson Hall. Among them are Sister Huberta, Sister Mary Valeda, Sister Martin de Porres, Sister John Damian, Sister Rose Constance, Sister Mary Alfred, Sister Mary Hildebrand, Sister Rose Agnes and Sister Helen Clare.
Each order can be identified by its habit. The difference in habits is largely in head coverings. In the recent movement to modernize habits, only one order on the campus has been affected, the Sisters of Charity
of Nazareth whose bonnets have been changed.
One of many nuns on the KU campus this summer is Sister Mary Imogene, S.N., Sister of Charity of Nazareth (Kentucky), who teaches in Nashville, Penn.
The nuns on campus are studying a variety of subjects. In addition to the Latin workshop, some are taking courses in music, mathematics, science, art education, history, education and Greek.
MOST OF THE NUNS live in dormitories, but some are staying in private homes. Another group, five Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth are staying in the convent of St. John's Church in Lawrence. They are Sister Raymond Mary, who is studying at the history institute; Sister Marie William, studying Greek; Sister Scholastica, also studying Greek, and Sisters Mary Cecelia and Mary Earnest, both in art education.

Business School Offers Training
KU's School of Business is entering an interim period in its executive training program.
The program, which began June 13, is divided into two sessions. The first, for any executive who wishes to attend, ends today.
The second is solely for member executives of the United States Independent Telephone Association. It begins Monday under the joint sponsorship of the U.S.I.T.A. and the business school. Frank Pincet, associate professor of business, heads the program and is assisted by Kent Tool, a business administration instructor.
The purpose of the program is to help the executives to do more effective jobs in their present positions and to help them gain experience and skill in handling various problems.
