Things 'Gray' in Strong

Over at Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's office things are looking gray.
But that is as it should be; because things are going according to plan.
The outer office of the Chancellor's suite is being painted.
IT'S A HANDSOME color—a little somber, perhaps, but in keeping with the serious business of University administration.
The sturdy gray walls fuse—at their lower edges—with the mush yellow carpeting which rolls across the room.
The aesthete may note that the carpet compliments the room while the less sensitive investigator will note simply that it makes walking on it fun.
In a very specific way the carpet adds personality to the room, making one feel accompanied even though alone.
IN ADDITION to the new paint and carpet, long time visitors to the Chancellor's outer office will note a new, walnut divider separating the room in half.
In the old days an itinerant Kansan reporter who wandered by or an alum in search of football tickets who happened into the outer office could choose one of three secretaries to explain himself to.
That time of choice has ended.
Jayhawker Book Receives All American Honor Rating
Two of the secretaries now sit behind the walnut divider and the office visitor has only one secretary with whom to visit.
The 1962 Jayhawker magazine-yearbook has received an All-American Honor rating from the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP). This is the first time the KU publication has been awarded that rating.
Blaine King, Emporia junior and editor of the Jayhawker last year; said:
"SOME OF THE COPY was the fifth draft. That was one reason why the Jayhawker was late. We wanted to make the best story of KU's international program that we possibly could.
"We felt we had to choose between

Members of Mortar Board, senior women's honorary, will serve on a panel. They and AWS Senate members, they will lead discussion groups.

"To be sure that information obtained at High School Leadership Day is spread by the girls attending, we are emphasizing a communications follow-up with the girls and their high schools," Sharon Menasco, Wichita sophomore and chairman of High School Leadership Day, said.
getting the yearbook out on time and getting an All-American rating. We chose the All American rating."
Factors in the success of the Jayhawk were "excellent layout, general brightness of copy, and the evidence of plan and forethought," King said, quoting the judge.
"THE JUDGE especially liked the 16-page international spread at the beginning of the fourth edition."
He said the division pages were "very effective and attractive."
KING SAID the judge objected to the use of different type faces throughout the book. The Jayhawker staff used this idea to add interest. Allnutt also felt athletes should appear in appropriate attire, not street suits.
Thomas Yoe, faculty adviser for the Jayhawker, said that the award, the highest possible, was "most gratifying in that the Jayhawker uses a radically different format than do yearbooks from which the standards tend to be derived.
"The Jayhawker is a magazine instead of a yearbook," he explained. "Since it is issued in four sections, it is really a magazine-yearbook."
"FOR MANY YEARS the Jawhawkier staff did not submit the publication to the ACP for judging because KU's book was so different that members of the staff assumed it would get a very poor rating." Yoe said.
"We tried to produce the best book consistent with our standards. If it coincided with the ACP standards, fine. It not fine."
KING SAID Kansas State University had received the top rating for 27 years.
"Kansas State's is a much more formal book," he said.
The Jayhawker was judged in the division for yearbooks in schools with enrollment of more than 10,000.

Survey Tabulators Needed by Corps
The KU Peace Corps committee is looking for six students to help tabulate results of a national Corps survey.
The survey attempts to measure the extent of student involvement in the Corps program and is designed to heighten interest in the Corps.
ROBERT GUENTHNER. Augusta junior and survey committee chairman, said his committee will compile the information and forward it to the Washington Corps office.
Robert Swan, Topeka junior and chairman of the KU Corps committee, said the three-page survey is being sent by the Washington bureau to 2,000 college and university campuses.
