"Do you happen to see or read anything on this page? Did you ee or read any of the advertisements on this page?" Two hundred University Daily Kansan readers were asked these two questions to provide information for a graduate thesis by Jack E. Tusher, Lawrence graduate student in journalism.
His thesis, "A Study of the Reading Habits of Students Who Read the University Daily Kansan," was presented this spring by Tusher for approval by his adviser, James F. Dykes, assistant professor of journalism, and Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism and Public Information.
The survey consisted of two parts, a questionnaire sent to 400 students by mail, and a personal interview of some 200 students, in which they were asked the two questions mentioned above.
According to Tusher, one of the most interesting parts of the survey was the questionnaire sent by mail. The questionnaires included 26 questions for the interviewee to mark, such as other pa-

lead, the Daily Kansas advertisers patronizes, and suggestions for improvement of the paper.
The 400 respondents Tusher selected were drawn from the student directory. Every 17th person was chosen to give a cross section and we everyone a chance to express its opinion. Of these 400 students, 77 men and 95 women returned their questionnaires.
According to the questionnaire, several things were established. The freshman and senior classes are the two largest reading groups with freshmen women making up the largest category in this breakdown. Students in over half the cases turn to the front page news to be in reading.
M students pick up their paper around 4 p.m. Over 25 per cent of the students pick up their paper at the distribution box in front of Watson library. Nearly 50 per cent would like to see more campus news in the UDK. Wednesday is the best publication day to reach the most UDK readers.
Each of the 200 people interviewed were shown the May 11, 1955 edition of The Daily Kansan. Over 50 per cent read the four top general news stories. One editorial had a readership of over 50 per cent. Nearly 75 per cent of the women read one society item and over 50 per cent read the entire society page. The highest scoring national advertisement, Lucky strike, drew the attention of over 50 per cent of those interviewed. Usher's thesis will be on file in Watson library for future reference and his final conclusions are serving as a basis in improving The Daily Kansan.

Education Prof HasReportPrinted
"Experiments with Reflective Teaching" by Ernest E. Bayles, professor of education, has recently been published as the third and final issue of the "Kansas Studies in Education" for the 1955-56 year. The report consists of six experimental investigations that have been made by graduate students under the direction of Prof. Bayles.
The investigations, carried on for the last 13 years, have been conducted in elementary and high schools throughout the state. Nearly all the reports are in the social studies area.
Reflective teaching is the process of giving students a problem whose answer is unknown and asking them to work out ways to solve it and apply the solution to the problem.
