Orientation Center gets U.S. grant
The KU Orientation Center, oldest in the nation, has received a contract for $39,881 from the U.S.State Department for its 18th year of operation, July 12-September 5.
J. A. "Toni" Burzle, professor of German and associate dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences, will again direct the Center, which he founded.
About 50 students from 25 nations will participate in the eight-week program designed to prepare them better for enrollment this fall in other colleges and universities.
The program will orient the visitors in the English language, the American educational system, and in American civilization and culture. Field trips to nearby metropolitan areas and small towns are included in the non- academic program.
Assisting Burzle on the Center faculty will be J. Eldon Fields, professor of political science; Gerhard Zuther, professor of English; Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Beasley, Mrs. Melinda Carpenter, Mrs. Letha Huffman, and Mrs. Kathryn Calvin of the English department; Ted Garten, education faculty; Mrs. Helga Vigliano, German department; Miss Linda Carney, art history.
Only 6.2 per cent of U.S. households were without television in the most recent government survey.
A special plaque will hang in the recently started Human Development and Family Life building, commemorating the Edna A. Hill Child Development Laboratory Schools.
The plaque was designed and made by Jules Reed, Minneapolis, Minn., who lived in the Home Management House of the department of Home Economics for a year while Mrs. Reed served on the nursery school staff.
THE NURSERY school was established in 1943 as a KU contribution to the World War II effort, following the opening of the Sunflower Ordinance Plant near Lawrence-two years after Miss Hill came to KU as chairman of the department of Home Economies. She taught for 26 years before retiring this June.
It was the first nursery school supported by funds under the federal Lanham Act to be sponsored by a university rather than a public school, and the first to operate on a 24-hour basis.
AT ONE TIME there were three branches of the school: one at Sunflower Village, one at the Lawrence Unitarian Church, and one in the Lawrence Junior High School building. Over 562 children representing 407 families attended.
In 1945 after the surrender of Japan, the federal nursery schools were closed, but KU retained the program establishing a permanent school at 1100 Missouri and later establishing a major in child development.

FIRST "SPOT COMMERCIAL"
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The 25th anniversary of the first television "spot commercial" was observed here recently. The ad—a watch face visual and an announcer reporting the correct time-cost the Bulova people $4 for the air and $5 for station charges.
There were an estimated 4,000 sets in the New York area then. Today, with a reported 6 million television households in the same area, the tab to the sponsor for the same commercial on the same station would run about $500.
