The award includes 10,000 Dutch guldens. In giving Mr. Stus the award, the jury indicated that it hoped to focus attention on the general persecution of the Ukrainian language and culture in the Soviet Union. Mr. Stus is one of 24 Ukrainian authors either in prison or in labor camps, according to the Index on Censorship. He is currently serving the second year of a 10-year strict-regime camp sentence to be followed by five years in exile for "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda." Mr. Stus, 44, who previously served a labor-camp and exile term from 1972 to 1978, joined the Ukrainian group to monitor Soviet compliance with the Helsinki Accords in 1979. He was arrested and sentenced again in 1980.

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - The U- krainian Cultural Courses at Soyuzivka featured a host of guest lecturers and visitors this summer, which resulted in a curriculum so diverse that, in the words of one student, "it touched upon nearly everything there is to know about Ukraine." The two-week courses were based on instruction in Ukrainian literature, culture, language and history. The core courses were taught by the director of the courses, Lubomyra Krupa, a teacher of Ukrainian studies in Newark, N.J., whose area of expertise is Slavic lan­ guages and literatures. She was assisted by Prof. Andrij Baranyk (Ukrainian lan­ guage) and Orysia Hanushevsky (audio visual media). Among the numerous guest lecturers was Orysia Tracz, head librarian of the Ukrainian.
