Med Center Granted $260,000 For Studies
The KU Medical Center has been awarded a grant totaling $260,000 for a program of research and training in the biology of reproduction.
The receipt of the five year grant, awarded by the Ford Foundation's population program, was announced yesterday by Dr. C. Arden Miller, director of the Medical Center.
Under the terms of the grant, the Medical Center will receive $52,000 for the 1965 calendar year.
DR. MILLER the money will be used to pay stipends to trainees in the field of reproduction (both post- and pre-doctoral); to supplement the existing staff of professional and technical personnel; and to bring to the school of medicine two new faculty members—an experimental embryologist and a reproductive physiologist, to be named later.
Dr. Miller stated: "These funds will help us further develop a center for the study of reproduction, with special emphasis in establishing a unity between the clinical department of obstetrics and gynecology
Dr. Kermit E. Krantz, chairman of the medical center's department of obstetrics and gynecology, is principal investigator and program director for the Ford funds.
Co-director of the program is Dr. Gilbert S. Greenwald, associate professor of anatomy and of obstetrics and gynecology, who holds the Professorship in Human Reproduction at KU—the first such professorship in a medical school in the nation. It was established in 1958 by an endowment of over $100,000 by friends of the medical school.
THE IDEA began with the realization that much remains to be learned about the beginnings and early development of human life. From this private support which established the professorship in human reproduction has evolved one of the major investigative areas of this type in any medical school.

"The conference is an annual affair," Bruce Warren, Emporia sophomore and member of the KU People-to-People publicity committee, said. "It rotates among the 14 organizations of schools in our area. We expect from four to five representatives from each school," he said.

Warren said, "One of our tasks is to see how the programs of large and smaller colleges can better coordinate their activities and work together better."
About 10 discussion groups will be directed by KU People-to-People board members in the afternoon. They will discuss how P-t-P groups can work together in meeting the
needs of foreign and American student relations, Warren said.
"The highlight of the dinner that night," Warren said, "will be a speech by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe. We will also have as special guest L. P. Cookingham, director of the national office of People-to-People in Kansas City." A dance will follow dinner, Warren said.
JFK Film Approved
According to Warren, schools that will be represented include Kansas State University, Iowa State University, Oklahoma State University, Missouri University, and Nebraska University. Also Wichita State University, Emporia State College, Fort Hays State College, Butler County Junior College, Kansas City Junior College, Saint Mary's College, Bethany College, Baker University and Washburn University.

Sponberg Tells Modern Ideals
Obtaining the ideals of democracy and brotherhood is the responsibility of each of us, Harold E. Sponberg president of Washburn University, Topeka, said last night.
Sponberg, the featured speaker at Lawrence's 19th Annual Brotherhood Banquet, spoke on "The Becoming Journey" to more than 300 persons.
Brotherhood is noble because it is the embodiment of an ideal," he said. "We must gird ourselves to move forward in the attainment of this ideal. No life reaches its fulfillment until it becomes the instrumentality for selflessness."
There are two types of democracy present today, Sponberg said. "There is the democracy of desire, which is based on self realization of personal goals. This ideology states that people should not be guided by anyone or anything other than themselves."
The second type of democracy is "that of values. This is centered around others and a devotion to good. It is interested in giving rather than in getting."
Sponberg feels that by teaching men to know themselves as equals and brothers a conviction or religious feeling is produced. "Tolerance must be replaced with reverence for one another," he concluded,

Let's talk about engineering, mathematics and science careers in a dynamic, diversified company
Campus Interviews Thursday and Friday, March 4 and 5
Whether your career interests lie in basic or applied research, design, test, manufacturing or administration, there's a spot where your talents are needed at Boeing. Engineers, mathematicians and scientists at Boeing work in small groups, so initiative and ability get maximum exposure. Boeing encourages participation in the company-paid Graduate Study Program at leading colleges and universities near company installations.
Boeing is now pioneering evolutionary advances in the research, design, development and manufacture of civilian and military aircraft of the future, as well as space programs of such historic importance as America's first moon landing. Gas turbine engines, transport helicopters, marine vehicles and basic research are other areas of Boeing activity.
We're looking forward to meeting engineering, mathematics and science seniors and graduate students during our visit to your campus. Make an appointment now at your placement office.
Young men of ability can get to the top fast at Boeing. Today, Boeing's business backlog is just under two billion dollars, of which some 60 per cent is in commercial jetliner and helicopter product areas. The remainder is in military programs and government space flight contracts. This gives the company one of the most stable and diversified business bases in the aerospace industry.
(1) Boeing 727, America's first short-range jetliner. (2) Variable-sweep wing design for the nation's first superconic commercial jet transport. (3) NASA's Saturn V launch vehicle will power orbital and deep-space flights. (4) Model of lunar orbiter Boeing is building for NASA. (5) Boeing-Vertol 107 transport helicopter with Boeing 707 jetliner.
No matter where your career interests lie — in the commercial airliners of the future or in space-flight technology — you can find an opening of genuine opportunity at Boeing. The company's world leadership in the jet transport field is an indication of the calibre of people you'd work with at Boeing.
