The Magazine Publishers Association (MPA) recently endorsed the University of Kansas as the official repository for a collection of first-issue magazines.
Magazines donated to university
Because of MPA's endorsement, MPA members will contribute their first issues to the journal. MPA is not an organization.
journalism reading room in Flint Hall. The collection is moved to memoir to Spencer McCarter.
The Gilbert Collection has about 5,500 issues of past and new American magazines, according to Lee Young, professor of journalism.

Duncan emphasized that they did not want the senior scholars to ever take the lead.
The senior scholar's enrolment cards are turned in to GI Dick, dean of admissions and records, before the scheduled event. The senior scholar's are able to avoid enrolment lines.
She said "getting up the hill" had always been a problem for senior citizens in the past, but the program arranged traditional courses on cycling at the Council on Airing and its Bus 62 program.
AT FIRST she had trouble explaining the program to faculty members, she said, but now they were beginning to become more aware of it.
"Now when I call they're most cooperative when I say I have someone wanting to enroll," she said. "As a matter of fact, I've had requests from professors who have wanted senior scholars in their classes."
One such course is "Topics and Problems on Growing Old in America," taught by Donna Schafer, assistant instructor in the college's senior school scholars are enrolled in the course.
"I've enjoyed having them, and the sophomores, juniors and seniors that I've talked with have also told me they're pleased and have found theirs (the senior scholars') is an interesting perspective," Schafer said.
Duncan said that getting around the campus really was not a problem for the senior scholars, because the people enrolled in the program were very active.
SENIOR SCHOLARS are not limiting themselves to courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. One is enrolled in an Art program, two others are in civil engineering courses.
"We do have trouble getting them in Fine Arts course where the classes are so complex."
Four of the original 12 senior scholars have taken courses all three semesters of the course.
Virginia Emerson, a three-semester senior scholar, is currently taking 11 hours. She is enrolled in two history courses and a history of modern art course.
Emerson, who went to the University of California at Berkeley about 40 years ago, said that she had experienced no real difficulty in returning to school, but that it been a long time since she had taken classes.
"The outside reading keeps me busy," she said. "I have a hard time getting to the reserve library. I don't do all the papers they require, but sometimes I do them for

other assorted articles, which he considered fire hazards.
Brubaker said he would request that a smoke alarm system be installed on the building.
A team of five inspectors from the state fire marshal's office are on campus this week and next week, to inspect classrooms, laboratories and offices. They will inspect buildings and scholarship halls after the other buildings have been inspected. Shelton said.
This inspection is a yearly one, but in recent years it has been conducted during the summer, when few students occupy classrooms and residence halls.
Shelton said that when buildings were being used during the regular school term, inspectors had a better idea of how safe a building would be in case of fire.
The buildings inspected yesterday included new Green Hall, Memorial Stadium, and the old Gymnasium.
Shelton, who inspected Green, said, "It's one of the best buildings, as far as fire compliance, that I've been in on any campus. It's excellent."
He said that an excessive number of items were stored in the lower level of Memorial Stadium, but that they were not necessarily a code violation.
Wescose had no major violations. Findings were not available on Strong.
IN ADDITION to Hoch, Spooner-Thayer,
Blake and Flint were inspected Tuesday.
Minor code violations were found in the
buildings.
The Visual Arts Building was inspected and Shelton report findings no major violation.
This morning, Spencer Museum of Art,
and the chancellor's home will be among the
new exhibits.
Inspections of buildings will not be made this afternoon or over the three-day weekend. Inspections will resume Monday and continue through next week.

my own benefit and don't turn them in," she said.
SHE SAID the students were almost always friendly and none made any particular fuss over having an older person in the classroom.
"They don't seem to think anything of it, which was quite surprising," she said.
Another three-termester senior scholar,
Dorothy Mackenzie, had a theory about
the relationship between the brain and
memory.
"They don't see to mind with us since we don't get grades. I know when I was younger and there was an older person in the room, but I tell there goes my grade," Mackenzie said.
Mackenzie graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1980. She is taking a part-time job at the University.
"We are learning things we thought we knew but we don't," she said.
Regarding homework, Mackenzie said,
"Well, there is quite a bit and I was taking
a regular course for (a grade) then I'd be
going to college." He continued, "it's
every course I take—it adds to you.
MACKENZIE FOUND no problem in getting around campus.
"Oh, I love that campus; I took a course during intermission when it was snowy and cold."
She admitted that at first she was a bit
apprehensive about taking courses.
She said that she and another senior scholar, Marée Durand, "had the greatest time planning our wardrobe for the first day—whether to wear short shoes or what. We wound up dressing conservatively," she said.
"We didn't know whether young people would accept us, but they did," she said.
Mackenzie said she was planning to take courses again next semester, but 'the teacher's name is not known.'
"The whole catalog is full of so many wonderful things we get our teeth in," she said. "One of these years I'm going to take glassblowing."
Senior scholars have expressed interest in a lip-reading course, and such a course is in the making for next semester, according to the faculty's assistant professor of speech and drama.
About 4,500 magazines come from Robert L. Gilbert's private collection. Gilbert is a journalist and a 1923 KU graduate. He lives in Cornus Hall, Tex.
Gilbert donated the collection to the Wilhelm Allen White Memorial Foundation in 1973.
The remaining 1,000 copies were gathered by Young from various contributors.
THE COLLECTION now has the first issues of American Mercury, Saturday Evening Post and Saturday Review of Literature. The oldest magazine in the collection is an 1810 issue of Port-folio, a 19th century literary magazine.
An article in the fall 1976 issue of Jayhawk Journalist, an alumni magazine, launched the events that led to the MPA's endorsement.
John Subler, president of Columbia Broadcasting System consumer publishing division, and a former KU graduate, was asked by the article and contacted Young.
Suhl, Young and Todd Seymour,
president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, worked together to get MPA's endorsement.
Sulber also proposed an endowment fund in memory of his father, Lester Sulber, who sold his estate to the Church.
The fund will provide for expenses to move the collection from Flint to Spencer Library and to repackage and recatalogue the magazines. Young said.
Young said it was especially significant to have the magazine collection at KU because KU is so far away from the center of the magazine industry in New York City.
"I expect a number of people interested in macromonas will come here to see the flowers."
ACCORDING TO Young, the fund now has $5,000. He said about $10,000 in contributions would be needed to maintain the collection. Any additional money would be used for scholarships for magazine students in the journalism magazine sequence.
Alexandra Mason, Spencer librarian, has said, "The collection will provide an access to a whole body of publishing that we haven't had."
Panhellenic to vote on new constitution
TURNEY SAID the new system would require council delegates to take any decisions to their own sorcity membership and should make final decisions on major policy matters.
The University of Kansas Panellinic Association will vote Wednesday on a new constitution that would allow security to be maintained to the association's decision-making process.
She said the change also would allow sorority presidents more time to deal with individual house matters such as officer training.
The Panhellenic Association also comprises four other councils besides the President's Council. Under the new constitution, the Membership Council, Campus
The proposed constitution contains a major organizational change that could affect the concept of security governance, and will not influence membership Council chairman, said yesterday.
Under the present system, the major ruling body of the association is a President's council, composed of the members of each of 12 Panhellenic member sorcerers.
The new constitution, Turnay said, would institute a Panebellen Council of Delegates to make major decisions affecting humanitarian needs; would elect a council would elect a council to the council.
Affairs Council, Fledge Trainers' Council and the Junior Panhellenic Council, as well as the President's council all would become state councils responsible to the delegate council.
Chairmen from each of the committees would report to the delegates each week.
THE COMMITTEE THAT formerly would have been the President's Council would meet once or twice a month to discuss in-house problems that the presidents previously did not have time to consider, Turney said. Problems such as senior apathy and house fire codes would receive more attention under the new plan.
Susan Hess, Panhelenic adviser, said the new constitution would bring the association more in line with what usually was considered an "organization."
Hess said each council now maintained power in only one area. She said the new system of elected officers, a policy-making committee and a special body to identify confusion about who was the ruling party.
"Organizationally, it makes more sense," she said.
Turney said the major changes already had been approved by the 12 sororities.
