Strassenburg to Request Leave
Arnold Strassenburg, associate professor of physics, will request leave without pay for 1963-64 to serve on the executive committee of the Commission on College Physics.
Prof. Strassenburg will work with the executive secretary on the small staff which is the commission's administrative center.
The one-year-old commission is composed of 10 or 12 well known physicists across the country who meet periodically to discuss and promote a variety of activities and innovations designed to improve the teaching of college physics.
The executive committee offices now are in Haverford, Pa., near the Bryn Mawr College campus. The commission's work is financed by a National Science Foundation grant which is administered by Bryn Mawr.
Seven seniors in the KU school of medicine have been elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical fraternity, and join three seniors who had been chosen in their junior year.
Alpha Omega Alpha Picks Seven
The new members are Howard Ellfeldt, Prairie Village; John P. Feighner, Wellsville; Leroy Hunninghake, Corning; Lynn Kindred, Emporia; Gary Myers, Fort Scott; Leland Reitz, Manhattan; and Paul Rouse, Kansas City, Kansas.
The three holdover members are Herbert Hilgers, Plainville; Carolyn Huntley, Washington, and Robert Crist, Scott City.
Dean Heller, who has served the foundation four years, will work closely with representatives of educational institutions in Kansas Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
Heller Named Regional Chairman
Francis H. Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has been named chairman of Region 11 of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation for the coming year.
Two Scholarships to be Awarded
KU students associated with the Order of Eastern Star of the Masons of Kansas may apply for 1963-64 scholarships given through the Grand Chapter of the Kansas Order of the Eastern Star.
Two $300 scholarships will be awarded to juniors and will be earmarked for use during the recipients' senior years. Masons, members of the Order of the Eastern Star, or children of either are eligible to apply.
The awards will be made on merit alone. Applications are available in the Office of Aids and Awards, 222 Strong Hall, and must be filed before June 1.
Publications Executives Elected
The executives of the current University of Kansas Student Directory have been re-elected for the 1963-64 year and have been given the added duties of publishing the K-Date Book.
Again chosen by the Student Publication Board were Nicholas G. Stucky, Lawrence senior, editor; and Jerry L. Harper, Wichita junior, business manager.
The Date Book previously had been a joint project with the K-Book. However, the latter is being significantly enlarged and published by the University as part of the orientation of new students. It was felt that advertising, production and sales of the Date Book alone could be handled more effectively by the Student Directory staff than by the creation of a separate staff.
Two Law Loan Funds Established
The establishment of two loan funds for KU law students through bequests of KU alumni has been announced by Dean James K, Logan of the School of Law.
A loan fund of approximately $1,200, given as a memorial to the late Judge Clarence A. Burney of Kansas City, Mo., has been established through a bequest from the estate of Judge Burney's sister, Mrs. Nettie Burney Gibson of Ottawa.
The S. S. Alexander loan fund of $1,000 has been established through a bequest from the late Kingman attorney's estate.
Each fund will provide loans to approximately five law students a year.
