KU geologist presents paper in Monaco
Edward J. Zeller, professor of geology, has received a U.S. government grant to present a paper at the Geological Age Determination conference in Monaco early next month.
He will leave Monday for a two-week stay in Europe. The conference is scheduled for March 2-10.
THE U.S. ATOMIC Energy Commission sponsored Zeller's paper, which was sent first to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria.
Zeller's travel expenses and living costs will be provided by the U.S.government.
The title of Zeller's paper is "Geological Dating by Electron Spin Resonance." It will be the only paper at the conference which deals explicitly with radiation damage in relation to geological materials.
"First of all." he said, "it provides the latest developments in age determination techniques; secondly, one is able to obtain the material before it is published; and, he is also able to estab-

The study-work program is an employment plan which allows students to work a maximum of 15 hours per week. The federal government pays 90 per cent of the student's salary, as opposed to the hiring department's 10 per cent.
"WEVE ONLY turned down about 10% of the applications submitted, so it's simply that not enough have been submitted." Stewart said.
There are approximately 250 part-time jobs now available to KU students through the work-study program.
NEW YORK—(UPI) As part of its observance of its 150th anniversary, the American Bible Society has published a new translation of the New Testament —in easily understood but precise English.
The volume entitled "Good News for Modern Man," contains grammatical structure and vocabulary selected from today's common English usage rather than from older and more traditional forms.
Work-study jobs open to KU students
About 90 KU students are now employed on campus under the plan. Minimum salary is $1 per hour, although a maximum of $3.45 per hour has been reached.
"THIS PROGRAM isn't designed to get a guy through college," Stewart said. "It's just designed to help him."
Robert B. Stewart of the financial aids office said yesterday that the scholarships are unclaimed because students have not been applying for them.

"Most of the applicants rejected came from families that netted between $10 and $20 thousand per year. Well, this program just isn't for those kids.
"QUALIFICATION for aid is worked out according to federal standards." Stewart said.
Work-studyships are granted on four criteria: financial need, satisfactory scholastic progress (1.0 for undergraduates, 2.0 for graduate students), American citizenship, and a full-time academic load (12 or more hours).
"The work-study program is for students who need, with the work students who need, with the word 'need' underlined and capitalized, financial aid."
The charge has been leveled that the work-study program is not working because of difficulty in finding students poor enough to qualify for aid.
