Departments receive grants for students
Beginning Sept. 1, two KU departments will receive students from various states holding fellowships from higher education personnel training programs, announced Clark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry.
The KU chemistry and history departments have been awarded six two-year fellowships under the Education Professions Development Act of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), Bricker said.
He said the fellowships would be awarded students with "disadvantaged baccalaureate degrees."
The students would come from schools where the baccalaureate degree did not provide enough undergraduate study for the student to commence graduate work directly, he explained.
The program, Bricker said, allowed six students in each department to take two years "remedial work" in that department. He added that the fellowships were designed for students who eventually planned to teach.
"Information about the availability of these fellowships has been sent to colleges in nearly every state.
"Fellowships will be awarded to six students in chemistry and six in history, who have indicated their desire to teach, on the basis of their applications and the letters of recommendation from their faculty members," he said.
The fellowship pays the student's tuition for two years and provides an additional grant of $2400 a year.
Bricker said students studying in the chemistry department would receive master's degrees.
Weather
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts sunny skies and warmer temperatures for Lawrence today turning partly cloudy with little temperature change through tonight. Chance of rain or snow by tomorrow afternoon. High today in the mid 50s. Low tonight mid 30s. Precipitation probability near zero today, 10 per cent tomorrow.
"The primary area of study is for junior college teachers."
History students will receive intermediate degrees and will concentrate on instruction in junior colleges and some four-year colleges.

"Because each student has a different background, his pogram of study will depend entirely on his personal needs," Bricker said.
He said the chemistry department would conduct interviews and would administer placement examinations to decide at which levelthe student would begin his work.
"In addition to these activities, the student will hold weekly meetings with faculty members to discuss his personal problems," Bricker added.
He said four departments at KU had submitted proposals to HEW to receive the fellowships programs. He added that applications included an outline of the department's program and the qualifications of the personnel administering the fellowships.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two students arrested for selling allegedly obscene newspapers on the campus of the University of Missouri at Columbia appeared before the Student Conduct Committee in a marathon meeting yesterday, but no decision was reached on possible disciplinary action.
The current student hassle--centering mainly around the use of certain colloquial expressions for natural and unnatural sexual functions—seems to be long on words and short on action.
Distinguished by black armbands protesting the University's banning of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) from the campus, approximately 125 students gathered in front of Read Hall to plan action yesterday afternoon.
Among suggested responses to
Chancellor John Schwada's decision to withdraw recognition from SDS were a campuswide student strike, occupying the administration buildings, and sit-ins. These ideas were discarded, but an appeal was sent to the University Board of Curators and student support for SDS was collected via signatures on a petition.
The distributor of the petition explained that 250 signatures would be needed from students who would say they had distributed the controversial Free Press newspaper. Distribution of this newspaper, which contained what Schwada termed "obscenity", by SDS members, led to Schwada's banning action.
The memorandum sent to the curators said Swada found this "obscenity" in "1) a political cartoon critical of American police generally, depicting a number of uniformed policemen gang-raping two female figures, the Statue of Liberty, and the allegorical Justice; and 2) the use of three obscene words.
Women defended by 'sex'
A lecturer from Raleigh, N.C. has refuted the traditional rules of self-defense.
A woman's best defense is her sex, said Fred Storaska, denying the effectiveness of screaming, tear gas, struggling and carrying guns. Storaska, who lectured Monday in Hoch Auditorium, explained that in dealing with an emotionally disturbed attacker, struggling, screaming and crying antagonize the molester. Thus, he said, violence is often instigated by the victim.
Women who carry guns usually are afraid to shoot or accidentally shoot themselves.
Upon being assaulted, a woman should project a front of calmness, kindness and understanding. Storaska contends, until she is able to react safely. He added her action should be unexpected.
Storaska told of a college professor who, upon being attacked, calmly told a would-be rapist, "Now just hold it; I want
everything you want, but I've got syphillis." The attacker fled, Storaseka said.
Storaska also gave techniques for physical defense and stressed that eyes and testicles were the body areas where a woman could most effectively disable a man.
When asked how he became interested in this field, Storaska said, "I had the misfortune of seeing a girl assaulted."
In response to these charges, the memorandum said the cartoon and words are not "obscene" or "indecent," that the decision deprives the members of SDS their rights guaranteed under the First Amendment, and that Schwada's standards which were applied are vague.
The memorandum also said the Chancellor acted unwisely in reversing decisions by the Student-Faculty Committee on Student Organizations, Government and Activities.

A black student summed up the group's opinion on further action: "You keep knocking until the door opens, if the door doesn't open you've got to push it down."
"Alive with energy . . earthy and Rabelaisian,' says the Saturday Review about this fiery tale of a modern pagan by "the Proteus of contemporary novel writing." — N.Y. Times Book Review. Already an award-winning movie . . now a-smash Broadway musical . . nearly 1,000,000 copies sold!
Carrying this idea further, 25 students said they were willing to go to jail for this issue. They were willing to break irrelevant laws, they said.
