KU Publications Given Honors
Two School of Education publications, the University of Kansas Bulletin of Education and Kansas Studies in Education have been placed on the permanent bibliographical file of the International Bureau of Education in Geneva, Switzerland.
Dean Kenneth E. Anderson said the bibliographical file is a reference guide used by educators in many countries to determine how education problems are dealt with by others.
The Bulletin of Education deals with new educational practices and reports of research at KU. The "Kansas Studies in Education" usually consists of a detailed study of some education problem. The principal contributors to both are School of Education faculty members and Kansas educators.
Requests from Canada, Hawaii,
Venezuela, France, England, the
Union of South Africa, and British
Israel for assistance by
the school for the publications.
Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education, is editor in-chief of the publications. Dean Anderson is executive editor.
New Print Workshop Makes Engravings But No Money
"But no $5 bills," John Talere, instructor in drawing and painting, said of the new course offered in the drawing and painting department. The course is a printing workshop and includes making woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, and engravings.
Classes are held at night and enrollment is limited to eight. Some minor equipment is lacking but the greatest deficit is an etching press.
"Getting a suitable etching press is quite a problem," Mr. Talleur said. "Only one person in the world makes these presses. The best way to get one is to find an old one and rebuild it."
Major Honed For
Many universities have courses in printing. Several have a department that allows a student to graduate with a printing major. It is hoped that enough interest in this field can be developed at KU to make it a major, Mr. Talleur said.
"Students have several good reasons for developing skills in printing," he said. "Print aren't as expensive as paintings and can be
more readily sold to those who want paintings but can't afford them. Also it is much less expensive to ship prints to art shows than paintings."
Process Not New
None of the printing processes are new. Etchings and engravings were used on armor in the Middle Ages. The Chinese used woodcuts as a means of printing before Gutenberg invented movable type. Toulouse-Lautrec is the most famous print artist for his lithographs of cafe scenes at the close of the 19th century.
Printing has returned in its four phases during the past 40 years but only as an art medium. A common use for engraving by the government has been the making of money.
"We will concentrate on it as an art medium," Mr. Taller said. "We aren't worried about green ink and numbers."
Hay mixtures with grass and alfalfa have averaged about 37 per cent greater yields than straight grass in four years of trials at the Dickinson, N.D., experiment station.
Air Force ROTC, Angel Flight Drill Team To Perform At Topeka Hospital
Members from the Air Force ROTC and the women's Angle Flight Drill Team will represent the University Feb. 17 when they give a variety show at the Topeka State Hospital.
The program will include precision drills, flag and baton twirling, clown unicycle acts, roller skating, quartets, music by a string combo and aerobatics.
During March the group will present the same show at Forbes Air Force Base, Topeka.
The population of suburban areas increased 35 per cent from 1940 to 1950, while the cities they surround grew only 13 per cent, according to U.S. Census figures.
The University of South Carolina is the oldest educational institution in the United States entirely supported by state funds. It was chartered in 1801.
