Top colleges debate here
Forty-four colleges and universities in 21 states from coast to coast will participate in the 12th annual Heart of America Debate Tournament Thursday through Saturday at KU.
The invitational event, which includes only schools with traditionally strong debate programs, will consider the question of a guaranteed annual cash income for citizens.
Forty-eight two - man teams will engage in preliminaries Thursday and Friday. The top 16 will enter the final rounds Saturday.
The championship debate will start at 3:15 p.m. Saturday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. The public is invited.
Participating schools include the University of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California (at Los Angeles), Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Redlands, South Dakota, Southern California, Vermont and Kansas. Also attending are Baylor, Bradley, Brandeis, Butler, Denver, Emory, George Washington, Georgetown, Harvard, Loyola (at Los Angeles), Michigan State, Northern Illinois, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Washburn, Wayne State and Wichita State Universities; Augustana, Concordia, Dartmouth, Northeast Oklahoma State, San Fernando Valley State and Southwest Missouri State Colleges; Kansas State Teachers Colleges at both Emporia and Pittsburg, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Part of all grants deducted for KU
About $500,000 of the $8 million KU faculty members received last year for research grants last year went to the University.
Some of the money was used by the University to pay salaries, library expenses, and office space in support of the research. The rest was put into KU's private research fund.
To get grants, professors first discuss their project with the KU Research Administration. Then, on their grant application, professors list the estimated research costs including salaries, travel and supply, Henry Snyder, assistant dean of faculties for research, said.
The University then adds to the request 55.25 per cent of the salary figure given in the application, Snyder said. If a grant application requests $10,000 in salaries, KU would add $5,525 for overhead and submits the application. If the application is approved, KU deducts the $5,525 before making the $10,000 available to the professor.
In this way, Snyder said, KU receives money to help cover the cost of supporting the professor's research program.

Grads get diplomas by mail
Students graduating from KU this spring will not receive their diplomas during commencement exercises, Henry Shenk, professor of physical education and chairman of the commencement committee, announced Tuesday.
This procedure follows a practice started last spring when KU officials decided the graduating class was too large for each member to receive his diploma personally during the ceremonies.
Before last spring, KU graduates filed across the stage during commencement and picked up a photograph of the campus. After the ceremonies, graduates received their diplomas in the stadium.
This year a man and woman from each of KU's schools will
receive symbolic diplomas from Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe beginning at 7:30 p.m., June 3 in KU's Memorial Stadium. The remainder of the graduating class will receive their diplomas in the mail about one week after graduation.
Shenk said there would not be an outside speaker at the graduation exercises.
"Chancellor Wescoe has always done a good job speaking to the graduating classes," Shenk said. "Besides, if the University were to hire some noted personality to speak we might have to wait until the last minute to see if he was going to cancel."
Other plans during the graduation weekend include the Sunday commencement dinner and
the traditional class reunions which are sponsored by the KU Alumni Association. The baccalaureate ceremonies will be Sunday, June 2, and the graduating class breakfast will be Monday, the day of graduation. Locations and times for these events will be announced later, Shenk said.

KU professor's history of artist printed in France
A revised paperback edition of "Gericault," by Klaus Berger, University Distinguished Professor of art history, has recently been published by the top French publisher, Flammarico.
Berger's original book on Gericault, a 19th century French painter, was written 15 years ago in German and published in a hardcover edition.
The book helped bring Gericault, at that time long forgotten, to the public's attention again, Berger said.
From its beginnings, USNSA has been involved in the civil rights movement, and helped set up the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
ASC votes to join NSA begin relations committee
The regional and national conferences which KU ASC representatives will attend are the most important results of KU's affiliation with ASC, Don Chubb, ASC chairman, said Tuesday night.
A bill to establish an ASC campus relations committee was also passed by ASC members at the meeting. Under the new bill, an ASC newsletter will be published twice each semester, and a student government handbook will be distributed after the election of ASC and student body officers each spring.
These services include discounts on foreign travel expenses such as lodging, a placement bureau to locate jobs abroad, life insurance policies for students of member schools, and the National Student Film Festival.
All-Student Council (ASC) members voted Tuesday night to affiliate with the United States National Student Association (USNSA) for the coming year.
The USNSA, a confederation of about 300 college and university student governments, provides services for governments and students of schools.
"The council counted the passage of this bill extremely relevant because it will help improve communications between ASC and KU students," Chubb said.
Under a new statute passed by ASC, the expense accounts voted in Feb. 20 for the student body president and vice-president will now be considered salaries.
The $100 salary for the president and the $50 for the vice-president for each of the nine months of the school year will pay for expenses incurred while on ASC business such as trips to conventions, Chubb said.
The salaries are also considered to be partial reimbursement for the large amount of time officers must spend working with the ASC, he said.
In other action, the ASC tabled discussion on changes in the appointment of justices for the KU student court.
The change from expense accounts to salaries occurred on the suggestion of W. Clarke Wescoe, Cancellor, Chubb said.
