Prof. Jenks will present a paper on "Interpored Screens for Improved Illustrations" before the cartography section. Prof. Augelli arranged and will chair a session on "Geographical Views on the Caribbean."

Malinowsky Gets $1,000 for Study
Harold Robert Malinowsky, Lawrence graduate student, has received a $1,000 Kansas Library Association Grant for study in librarianship. The award is to be used towards a degree in library science.
Mr. Malinowsky, who graduated from KU with a bachelor of science degree in geological engineering, is presently employed as a library assistant at Watson Library.
Library grants are awarded in an effort to attract more young people to the profession. Due to the serious shortage of personnel in the field, competition for librarians has resulted in higher salaries.
Today a librarian just out of school averages $5,800 to $6,000 a year. Those who rise to the top of the profession may earn as much as $20,000 annually in administrative posts with large library systems.
Thirteen pharmacy students have been appointed undergraduate National Science Foundation research scholars for 1962-63.
Each will receive a stipend of $750 for research lasting two semesters and ten weeks in the summer. The students will participate in projects under faculty members in pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacology.
The appointments are made possible by a $15.640 grant awarded the School of Pharmacy. The grant is more than twice as large as the 1961-62 award.
NSF undergraduate research students in pharmaceutical chemistry are:
Clinton N. Corder, Oberlin junior; Harold H. Mullins, Oberlin junior; St. Hendricks, St. Francis junior; Larry D. Milne, Hiwatha senior; Donald A. McKenzie, Hiwatha senior; Larry H. Young, Topeka junior
Those in pharmacology:
Otto E. Beck, Wichita junior; Charles Berry, Chanute junior; Norman L. Bresel, Kansas City junior; Robert O. Gillespie, Bonne Anne (Eaton) Grundeman, Wichita junior; Marion J Strand, Lost Springs junior; Mary A Warburton, Coffeville junior.

Drugs Can Restore Sight
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI) More than half of the world's blindness is preventable, Dr. M. G. Candau, director-general of the World Health Organization noted recently.
"With proper treatment by drugs and surgery, sight could be restored to millions who are now losing it," he said. "Preventable measures can ensure that in the future the numbers of the blind will be a third or less of what they are today."
