$130,000 Grant Awarded For Social Work Study
Five federal grants totaling more than $130,000 have been received by the department of social work for research and training next year.
The largest grant, $41,712, was awarded by the National Advisory Mental Health Council of the U.S. Public Health Service for the 16th year of a project in community mental health. Administrator is Mildred Webb, associate professor.
Three other grants awarded by the Mental Health Council are:
- $\$24,746$, for a research and demonstration project titled "Mobilization of Aging Resources for Community Service" and directed by Mary Wylie, instructor, with Esther Twente, professor, as co-director.
$21,549, for a training program in family and child welfare directed by Dr. Meisels and (Miss) Aase George, professor.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Administration awarded KU the fifth grant, $17,314, for a training program directed by Eleanor Loeb, associate professor.
PROFESSOR WEBB'S grant provides stipends for 12 graduate students in training at the Psychiatric Receiving Center in Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Albert Fuller, field director and assistant professor, also is investigating training methods in social work under the grant.
The program has additional support of $55,616 allocated for next year.
Dr. Meisel's one-year-old program in corrections is based at the Boys' Industrial school in Topeka. The program's goal is to train students for work in the institution and in the family, and community, as an integrated attack on delinquency.
Three first-year and three secondyear graduate students will receive stipends under the grant. Ray Price, field director, also will develop a curriculum program in corrections.
Campus Gets No Vacation
The week between the spring semester and summer session brought little rest to the University of Kansas campus, with more than 1,800 persons here for all or part of the week in special programs.
While KU was still graduating its largest class of seniors, 1,003 high school junior boys and 130 counselors and advisors arrived for the week-long American Legion Boys' State.
Four other conferences began last Tuesday;
The annual Bank Management Clinic of the Kansas Bankers Association involved about 400 persons through Thursday.
A two-day institute for personnel officers was attended by 40.
A seminar on Financial Institutions, continuing through June 13 has an enrollment of 12.
The workshop in Elementary Education drew an enrollment of 130 teachers continuing through June 13.
Eighty-three attended the Kaw Valley Girl Scout Council senior conference Wednesday through Friday.
As the week closed several thousand students began enrolling for the 8-week summer session. Classes began yesterday and simultaneously another set of institutes and conferences registered nearly 800 persons for the week or longer.
The largest is the American Legion Auxiliary Girls State, with 400.
First Fight Broadcast
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The first radio broadcast to a mass audience in the United States was the heavyweight championship bout between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier in 1921. The remote broadcast from Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, N.J., was arranged by David Sarnoff, now board chairman of RCA but then pioneering the development of home "radio music boxes." Between 200,000 and 300,000 people followed the blow-by-blow description from ringside, according to Sarnoff's biography.
THE MENTAL HEALTH Council has proposed future support totaling $76,176.
Tuesday, June 9, 1964 Summer Session Kansan
Dr. Meisel's training program in family and child welfare will begin its second year in July. Four graduate students will have headquarters at the Leavenworth Public Welfare office for training under Robert Janeski, field director and assistant professor.
Miss Wylie and Prof. Twente will try to find ways in their research project to utilize the resources of people 65 years and over, for community service and planning. They also have tentative support totaling $44,175 for two additional years.
A total of more than $64,000 has been allocated for three additional years of the project.
Work with the handicapped, with persons having emotional problems and with job-displaced persons constitutes the training program directed by Eleanor Loeb. It is being conducted on a cooperative basis with the Jewish Vocational Service of Kansas City, Mo.
Field instructor is Mildred L Watson, assistant professor.
When Lowell A. Gish of Baldwin received the doctor of philosophy degree in education from the University of Kansas last week he became the third of three brothers to earn two degrees at KU.
All six degrees were different but each brother did earn one degree in 1954.
3rd Brother Wins 2 Degrees
Dr. Gish, who heads the department of education at Baker University, earned the master of education degree in 1954. He had completed undergraduate work at Southwestern College five years before.
Even the cousins are in the act almost.
Merlin Gish, a three-year starter at center on Kansas football teams, earned the bachelor of science in education in 1954, and the master of science in education in 1961. He is head track coach and a teacher at Shawnee Mission North High School.
Lawrence L. Gish, who has been city manager of Arkansas City since 1959, earned an A.B. degree from KU in 1952 and the master of public administration in 1954.
Charles R. Wohlenberg earned his first KU degree, the A.B. with a major in zoology, while brother Edward Gish Wollenberg, who received the A.B. with political science major in 1961, probably will this year finish a master's degree. They are from Liberal.
New Nations Retaliate May Give UN Vote to China
GENEVA — (UPI) — Developing nations have warned they may vote for Communist China's admission to the United Nations at the next General Assembly in retaliation for weak Western response to their demands for aid.
The warning was spread in the lobbies of the 119-member U.N. Trade Conference, which has deadlocked over conflicting interests between "have" and "have-not" nations.
The conference entered its last week after nearly three months of talks on a global aid-through-trade charter for developing nations from Africa, Asia and Latin America. The delegates still groped for a possible compromise to avert failure.
LEADERS FROM developing and western industrialized nations sought a possible compromise package deal
to paper over the wider differences between them.
The controversial key issues have by mutual understanding been left for the very end of the conference, scheduled for June 15, in the hope of a possible 11th-hour settlement. No acceptable peace formula has emerged so far.
Conference sources said the 75 developing nations which have banded together are angered by the alleged lack of response from the industrialized nations of the West and are not in a compromising mood.
THEIR WRATH is directed against the "rich" nations of the West in the first place, with Russia taking a back seat.
The Russians have made no commitments here except to back some of the recommendations from the "have-nots" which reflect their own wishes, including the demand for the creation of a West-opposed new global trade organization.
