Slavic Area Program To Give Scholarships
Scholarship funds are still available for qualified students who wish to study in the ten-week summer Russian and Polish program at KU.
Students, according to Herbert J. Ellison, chairman of the Slavic and Soviet area studies at KU, are to be in good standing in an accredited college or university. He said that scholarships are based on academic achievement and financial need.
The program will begin June 8 and run until August 14 and will be located in Ellsworth Hall. It is sponsored by the Universities of Kansas and Colorado with the aid of a grant from the National Defense Education Act.
Courses to be offered and the college credit to be given for each are: beginning Polish or Russian (10 hours); intermediate or advanced Russian or Polish (7 hours) and area courses (3 hours). An area course usually supplements the other courses.
Area courses to be offered are: history of central Europe with an emphasis on Poland, taught by S. Harrison Thomson, director of the center for Slavic and East European Studies at the University of Colorado and director of the KU summer language program; and imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, which will be taught by Prof. Ellison.
Expenses for the program include $260 for board and room for ten weeks, and $65.50 for resident tuition or $165.50 for non-resident.
Students enrolled in the program will live in Ellsworth Hall with a regulation that students must speak the language they are studying at all times.
Prof. Ellison said about 60 to 70 students are expected to participate in the program.

A native of Hamilton, N.Y., Professor Sisson was the son of a Colgate University professor. He was a graduate of Stanford University and received his masters degree from Harvard.
Burial was in the Northport, Mich., cemetery Saturday.

The play was written in 1888 and rates as an international masterpiece of naturalistic drama, according to Bjorn Hammarberg, visiting assistant professor of Germanic Languages and Literature.
The new funds will be combined with a continuing project grant of $35,000 this year from the National Institute of Mental Health. Both institutions are agencies of the U.S. Public Health Service.
CO-DIRECTOR OF the new grant is Dr. Howard V. Bair, superintendent of the Parsons State Hospital and Training Center. Dr. Bill Locke, research associate at Parsons, is program coordinator.
A PRINCIPAL basis of support for the bureau's activities is a one-year-old federal program grant totaling more than $2 million over a seven-year period.
The bureau's work focuses in general on studies related to language behavior and social adjustment in children. This includes studies of retarded and socially disturbed children, and also of normal children, for comparative purposes.
The renewal support includes $81,-267 for the year beginning this July. Amounts increasing to $88,643 are allocated for the four succeeding years.
The work is based at the Parsons State Hospital and Training Center, at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, and in Lawrence. A new laboratory has just been completed at the Medical Center, and another one soon will be under construction.
The grant, awarded through the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness, will provide for 16 trainees in research related to communicative disorders in children.
KU has received federal renewal support totaling $426,000 for five years. The money will facilitate an expanding research training program directed by Prof. Richard L. Schieflebusch, director of the Bureau of Child Research.
