Graduate fellowships to draw top students
PATRONIZE KANSAN ADVERTISERS
A four-year fellowship program which will cost $147,000 a year by 1970 is helping KU attract top graduate students.
Graduate School Honors Fellowships will be given to only 25 of the more than 300 who are expected to apply. The program allows students to devote almost full time to study during the first and fourth years of the program.
KU theatre evaluated by IASTA
Two representatives of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Theater Arts will be guests today through Saturday of the KU department of speech and drama.
The visitors, John Mitchell and Mary John, both of New York City, will evaluate the KU theater programs in terms of possible University affiliation with IASTA. If approved, the affiliation would allow KU to take part in IASTA's international theater projects.
KU skin divers go to Bahama Islands
The KU Underwater Sports Club is going "big time" over spring break. They are going to the Bahamas for a week of skin diving.
This was the main item of business outlined by the president, Joe Goodman, at last night's meeting.
Goodman, an Overland Park Freshman, said that at present there are about 15 people interested in making the trip. But he was optimistic that more would desire to go.
THE GROUP will rendezous in the Bahamas and then rent a sail boat. Goodman said he hoped to keep the cost down to about $40 a person for a week's diving.
The program, which also pays student fees, is unusual in that it offers support during the summer for those who wish to attend summer school. Money is also available for travel for research.
During the first year of the fellowship, students teach only one course and receive $2,300 for the nine month academic year. The individual departments pay $1,150 for the work and the Graduate School adds $1,150, partly from the National Defense Education Act funds. The second and third years students teach half time, or two courses, and receive $2,400 to $2,600 plus fees. The fourth year, students who have passed their comprehensive examinations are free to write their dissertations and receive $2,700.

"Business is for the birds!"
Who says so?
Lots of people do. Some right on your campus. And for rationale, they point an accusing finger at business and say it lacks "social commitment."
Social commitment? We wish they could visit our Kearny, N. J. plant, where we make cable and apparatus for your Bell telephone company. But we have time for other thoughts, other talents.
Like the situation in nearby Newark.
With civic and business leaders, we began buzzing with ideas. "Let's teach higher skills to some of the un-employed and under-employed. Say, machine shop practice. They could qualify for jobs that are going begging - and help themselves as well."
We lent our tool-and-die shop, evenings. We found volunteer instructors. A community group screened applicants. Another supplied hand tools. The Boys
Club donated classroom facilities. Another company sent more instructors.
Some 70 trainees enrolled. Their incentive? Self-improvement. Results to date? New people at better jobs. Happier.
And this is only one of dozens of social-minded projects at Western Electric plants across the country, where our first job is making communications equipment for the Bell System.
So, you don't give up ideals when you graduate. If anything, at a company like, say, Western Electric, you add to them. And it's not just a theory. It's practice. Satisfying. Come on and find out. And watch a feathered cliche fly out the window.
