Boys State Attended By 1036 Kansans
The American Legion, The State program was held on the KU campus last week. There were 1036 delegates from throughout the state who engaged in learning of "learning by doing" politics.
The purpose of Floyd State, state according to Floyd Leopard, state according to the American Legion, is to teach city and County and state government officials.
"It is what we call a learning by doing process," said Boynton, the boys' State for a week and they run it just like a real state would be.
The boys attending Boys State are divided into nine counties with four cities in each county. They then have elections for city, district and offices between the Federal and the Nationalist parties, he said.
The elections are run just as real elections are run. There is a filing fee, primaries and finally the regular election.
The week is centered around teaching and learning about politics, but there is other competition in the area; there is competition for the best city and best county of the day. On the final day of the week there are awards for the best city, and achievement for the week.
One on evening of the week the state officers of Kansas visit Boys State to take to the boys who have been selected by the mock elections. Among those who spoke this year were Karen Kowalski, hiking and Atly Gen. Vern Miller.

440 Girls Staters Arrive
The two boys who will attend Boys Nation in Washington are Greg Hack of Lawrence and Mike Leopka of Topeka.
The delegates who have completed their junior year in Kansas high schools, were selected by local American Legion Anxiilies on the basis of citizenship and leadership. They will spend the week of June 4 to 11 in a practical study of government.
"It is actually government in action," said Mrs. Doris Seymour, director of Sunflower Girls State.
During the week, the delegates will campaign and elect city, county and state officials from their own ranks. The groups.
follow regular election procedures for petitioning, campaigning and electing of flicks in a two-party system
Results of the election will be announced at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday and attended officials will carry out a curry over elections in the mock government.
Highlighting the week's activities will be a visit Friday to the state capitol in Topeka. The event includes representatives and Senators
Governor Docking will speak at the inaugural ceremony Thursday evening. Among the other dignitaries who will address the group during the week are Atty. Gen. Vern Miller, Lt. Gov. Greg Williams, Rt. Gov. Heinemanm, R. Garden City, and Rev. John Carlin, D-Smolan.

Physicists at the University of Kansas are developing a technique which they hope will detect the presence of types of cancer. They are using an "atom-smasher," or particle accelerator, to determine the concentration of certain elements in patients suspected of being diseased.
Research at other institutions has indicated that the concentrations of some elements in human tissue are more drastically. For example, in one kind of cancer the amount of metal molybdenum drops to less than 0.2% in normal tissue. In another type of cancer the concentration of cadmium drops to about one hundred times an amount in healthy tissue.
THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE of the technique being used at KU is the speed with which samples can be studied. The normal analysis time using other techniques is much shorter, and facilities here, the total time can be reduced to less than an hour. In fact, the time may be reduced to less than ten minutes per case or certain types of specimens.
KU 'Atom Smasher Aids Cancer Study
This time element could become important in diagnosing brain cancers. Also important is that the disease may be diagnosed by this technique long before it could be tested, or by the tests currently available.
The test is extremely sensitive. Accuracy to ten parts per billion is possible.
IF CANCERS can be detected
in early formation by this method, treatment will be easier for the individual. It has become apparent in recent years that cancer can be easier to treat, and early detection will also make possible much important research in the causes of cancer. if cancers can be studied while they are foreseen more about them may be learned.
In the procedure an extremely small sample of tissue is bombed by a high-energy beam which excels at its wavelength as a laserator. As a consequence, the sample gives off X rays. Every element when bombed on this way gives off X rays characteristic of that one element. By measuring the amount and amounts of each element in the sample can be determined.
possible, after which the animals will be released to return to their natural habitats.
Parents should enroll their children at the Museum administrative office, 802 Dyce Street, at the time of registration.
Enrollment deadline at the Museum for the second session of the art study comparison program is noon June 8. Children up to 10 years old will have their hair cut and study their characteristics, then draw their own versions of the animals.
ROBERT BEARRE, associate professor of physics, is the leader of the KU project. He is working on the medical chemistry department and Don Dogg, Eudora grad. He also funds the National Institute funds from the National Institute to approve this request will be made to operate on a full scale basis.
The KU Museum of Natural History will sponsor a Small Mammal Safari during three Saturdays in June and a June 10th Saturdy. The museum will prepare real or preserved animals with their artist interpretations.
will meet in the House and Senate Chambers at the Capitol, and they as well as other elected officials, will meet their counterparts in the Kansas government. The Girl State officials will also be luncheon guests at the Grest, the Governor's mansion.
The safari, to be held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 10, 27, and 24 will take children to a variety of locales in Douglas County, where you can see and where small mammals and other suburban and rural areas
During the week the Girls State staff and delegates will wodge and meet in Lewis and Tempin residence halls.
The field trip will utilize actual animals collected in the natural setting whenever
