P-t-P Ambassadors Plan Summer Travel
The spring semester has hardly begun, but already students in the KU People-to-People American Students Abroad program have submitted applications for their summer vacations in Europe.
Deadline for submitting applications to the People-to-People office was 11:00 this morning.
The Student Abroad program takes place each summer. P-t-P sponsors flights to and from Europe which are within the budget of college students. Besides being economical, these programs allow the participants freedom in planning their travels. This freedom is not usually allowed under most organized tours.
The national People-to-People organization offers two overseas travel programs both of which are being offered at KU, Lance Burr, Salina junior and chairman of the American Students Abroad committee, said.
Requirements for student ambassadors are 10-15 hours of language, active members of the KU People-to-People program and the recommendation of the chairman of the University program chapter.
The other program, the Student Ambassador program, offers participants the opportunity to plan an itinerary by which they can spend a week in private homes in the various countries they visit. Countries participating in the Ambassador program are Israel, Greece, the British Isles, the Scandanavian countries, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France.
The regular P-t-P Student Abroad program provides students a chartered flight to and from Europe at a budget price. Students are required to spend a week of orientation in Washington, D.C. before flying to Brussels by jet.
STUDENTS UNDER this program are required to stay in private homes in at least three countries, after which they are free to travel as they please.
Students under the regular program are required to submit an itinerary planned by the student. To aid in this planning, People-to-People provides information concerning summer jobs overseas, work camps, holiday centers, study conferences, and student tours.
ALTOUGH ARRANGEMENTS have to be made directly by the student. P-t-P supplies names, addresses, and contacts.
Average costs for the entire summer are to be $750. The program itself is to cost $339 for the regular Student Abroad program, and $364 for the Student Ambassador program. The remainder of expenses depends on the student and his ability or inability to budget.

KU Professor Authors Story On Rock Dating
The work of Edward J. Zeller, professor of geology, on the "time clock" dating of rocks and ice is featured in the current issue of Mineral Information Service, the monthly publication of the State of California's division of mines and geology.
Dr. Zeller's work has previously taken him to such far-ranging places as Switzerland, the Sahara and Antarctica.
This time Dr. Zeller sought materials from California's Death Valley. That area is a source of material that has been subjected to both high and low temperatures. Valley floor temperatures have reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit, while the Panamint Mountains of the area have snow blankets and alpine climatic conditions.
Dr. Zeller's geologic "time clock" scales have been developed for materials of high ambient temperatures and for low temperatures. He now will test the Death Valley specimens, which have been subjected to both temperature ranges, to determine how they check with the calibration of his "time clocks."
PLEASANT HILL, KY. WAS THE first western Shaker village and purportedly the first town in Kentucky to have a waterworks. The Pleasant Hill Shaker community was the largest settlement of that religious sect with the exception of the group's main headquarters at New Lebanon, M.Y.
