Women approve fall rush program
The Panhellenic Presidents and Rush Councils Wednesday night voted for a fall rush of transfer students and KU upper class coeds with at least a 1.2 cumulative grade point average.
According to Christie Lee, Florissant, Mo., junior and Rush Council Chairman, the joint meeting decided upon fall rush
after weeks of discussion. The exact details will be published at a later date.
The entire rush program for next year includes fall rush during enrollment week and spring rush for freshmen between semesters. The open houses preceding spring rush will be held in early November.
FINANCIAL AID
PACKAGES SET
FOR STUDENTS
KU will assist needy students for the 1966-67 academic year by awarding Educational Opportunity Grants included in financial aid "packages."
Opera Company since 1961, was born in Austria in 1918. He studied at the State Academy in Vienna and the Chicago Conservatory. Later he studied conducting with Nicholai Malko and with Rafel Kubelik, then conductor of the Chicago Symphony.
The U.S. Office of Education has granted KU $140,990 to provide scholarships in amounts of $200-800 for 282 students. The University will add to the federal grants from scholarship funds, National Defense Loans and other sources.
Most of the grants will be awarded to entering KU freshmen on the basis of need and scholarship potential. The financial aid will be renewable for four years, but any loans received as part of the aid must be repaid.
Scholarship applications submitted by Feb. 15 and National Defense Loan applications submitted by June 1 will be considered for the package. Recipients will be notified beginning in mid-June and continuing until Aug. 1.
KU is one of 32 schools in Kansas receiving the Educational Opportunity Grants.
According to Glenda Hord, Kansas City junior and Panhellenic President. "This program was chosen so the rush program could be advantageous as possible to both the rushes and the 13 sorority houses."
Under the past system, the sororities and the rushees returned to the Hill the week preceding enrollment week. The program proposed for this next year will eliminate this early return to Lawrence.
