Telfel Leads News Section
For the fourth straight year Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, conducted the newspaper section of the Interscholastic Press workshop at the seventh annual Headliner week of the Lincoln university School of Journalism in Jefferson City, Mo., April 20-23
A total of 86 high school students from six states attended the workshop, Mr. Telfel said. They came from Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Texas.
For the first time in its seven year history, white students attended the workshop, which had been started for negro students by Dean Armistead S. Pride of Lincoln's journalism school, Mr. Telfel said.
"The way those youngsters got along seems to me to show that students would make integration work without any fuss if their parents would let them alone," he added. "The students at Lincoln in a segregated state—stayed in the same dormitories, sat together in the same classrooms, ate together, and even went to a dance together."
The photography section of the workshop was conducted by Lee S. Cole, an instructor in the William Allen White School of Journalism from 1945 to 1950, now an associate professor at Lincoln.

3rd Class Cities Are Subject of Research
Robert E. Peary reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909.
"Municipal Finance: A Study of Third Class Cities," is the title of a report by Harry O. Lawson, research assistant at the Governmental Research center, just released by the Research center.
He found that the average third class city in Kansas in 1953, spent more per capita on its cemetery than it did on parks or its library, and five times as much per capita to take care of streets and alleys as it did to provide fire protection.

The grade school students who will attend this year's Cervantes day have been studying Spanish in the grade school classrooms.
The annual celebration was canceled for one year during World War II.
Held each year since 1923 on or near April 23—the anniversary of the death of Cervantes in 1616—the 1955 Cervantes day will include a presentation of the Spanish language film "Don Quijote," special exhibits and the annual meeting at 11:30 a.m. in Strong auditorium of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.
According to J. M. Osma, professor of Romance languages, the "... celebrations are getting bigger every year. The total attendance at the (first Cervantes day) celebration in 1923 was about 100 high school students and faculty." Pittsburgh is expected to send at least that many pupils this year.
"The annual celebration honors Cervantes because he has become the symbol of great Spanish literature." Prof. Osma said.
The event this year was postponed from the April 23 date to avoid conflict with the Kansas Relays.
