Professor Will Hire 32 Men ToMakeKansasRadioSurvey
Thirty-two University men will be hired this week by Kim Giffin, assistant professor of speech, to make the annual Kansas Radio Audience survey during Easter vacation. Anyone interested should contact him immediately.
Mr. Giffin, who is personnel director of the survey, said the objective of the survey is to find out the listening habits of the Kansas radio audience.
He said the men will be able to earn $35 to $60 doing "easy, interesting work which is valuable experience in terms of training them to meet the public". However, he said they must have two things—ambition and access to a car.
irus is the fourth year that hiring for the survey has been centered at KU and Mr. Giffin said the University wants to keep it that way.
Mr. Giffin said he is happy with the job the Kansas men have done. "Students seem to make the best research people," he said, adding, "they seem to have a better understanding of what to do." He said he usually contacts men in the schools of journalism, business, and law.
"Once in a while," he said, "the men find that the people don't want to talk to them and won't cooperate." He said, however, that for the most part, Kansas people are congenial and the students like the work and want to do it again.
"We keep records," Mr. Giffin continued, "and men looking for jobs frequently use us for recommendation.
He said a random sampling technique is set up and the men are hired to make personal interviews. The survey is operated on a county by county basis, he explained, and in getting a sample, so many interviews are required of persons from high, low, and medium income brackets.
He also said so many interviews are required according to population in farming areas, villages, and cities.
The survey is financed by contributions from community radio stations with the understanding that we love and about the way the work is done.
Mr. Giffin said the best methods available are used. He said the results are given to all stations and libraries in the state are sent free copies.
The survey has indicated the following things:
Kansans think radio is performing its job better than local government, schools, and newspapers, but that churches are doing a still better job.
The most popular program in Kansas is the newscast and second is the featured comedians. These two sets of programs have been running for a race for a number of years with first one and then the other ahead.
People listen to radio more at noon than any other time, with the exception of Sundays. On Sundays, they listen more between 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. altogether, the average Kansan listens to his radio over 11 hours a day.
People listen more to radios in the living room than any other room. The heaviest kitchen listening is at 7 a.m. when 18 per cent of people are listened to, and about a cent of the people listen to radios they carry from room to room.
Four per cent of all Kansas homes had television receivers in 1951 and 62 per cent of all families owning cars had radios in their cars.
Only nine-tenths per cent of the people with both radio and television listened to television more than radio.
African Economic, Political Systems Mean Racial Hatred, Speaker Says
As long as the present economic and political systems remain in the Union of South Africa, the country will reek with racial hatred and affect the outcome of the struggle between Communism and the Western democracies.
Nino Lo Bello, instructor in sociology, said on the Sociology on the Air broadcast over KLWN Sunday that in South Africa a white minority of 2,600,000 Europeans maintains a monopoly over the nearly 10 million native inhabitants.
"So long as the Europeans and non-white natives of the Union continue to regard themselves as of different race, sooner or later the question must arise: Which of them is to hold the decisive power? This conflict is to prove of vital significance to human society, for the colored populations (Negroid and Mongoloid) are uncertain whether political democracy or Communism offers greater hope of a status of equality," he declared.
The present administration, under Dr. Daniel F. Malan, purposes a single-race dictatorship and is generating a segregation policy for the white man's gratification only, Mr. Malan's anti-discrimination. Malan's apartheid laws have sucked the native even deeper "in a quagmire of discrimination" he added.
"There is not the slightest doubt." Mr. Lo Bello said, "that explosive forces are generating in South Africa. These forces are manifest already in terms of the general law areas, and in the local areas. The riots in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Capetown have become a source of worry."
Mr. Lo Bello said that the Communists are slyly hawking through service propaganda an answer designed to be appealing. An officer will

not progressively set about solving its racial riddle." Mr. Lo Bello concluded, "the race question will in time destroy the Union itself. The white with his alleged 'democracy' and the black with his hope in Communism will gnaw at each other with firearms to decide the very destiny of the human race."
Counseling Staff Attended Meeting
The counseling staff of the guidance bureau attended the annual conference of the Kansas Guidance association in Hays Saturday.

E. Gordon Collisier, director of the bureau, is vice-president of the association. He arranged the program for the one-day conference.
Members of the guidance counseling staff who will attend are Dr. Collister, William Cottle, assistant director and counselor, and Frank N. Entwise, Lee Isaacson, Wallace A. Verburt, counsellors, and Wilbert W. Lewis Jr., psychometrist.
A panel of state school and industrial personnel will present a discussion on "Counselor Training" in the afternoon.

It Takes A Heap O' Dirt To Make One Copper Penny
"In one 24-hour day," Mr. Risser said, "Kennicott's ten-ton capacity shovels scoped up 200,000 tons of dirt, of which 90,000 tons are ore and only 850 tons pure copper. The copper content is less than 1 per cent of the total excavated material."
This is the conclusion of Hubert E. Risser, instructor in mining engineering, who spent five weeks as guest of the Kennicott Copper corporation at Bingham Canyon, Utah, studying all phases of open pit mining and organization.
It takes a heap o' dirt to make a penny.
The Utah mine produces 10 per cent of the world's annual primary output of copper.
"This indicates the increasing importance of surface mining in this country," he added. "More than 60 per cent of iron ore, a good portion of copper, lead and gold and almost all tin is now mined by surface methods.
"Our facilities at K.U. have been expanded to keep up with this trend." Mr. Risser said. "New equipment has been purchased and six courses have been added to the curriculum, including Mining Methods, Mine Surveying, Mine Organization and Mine Engineering. More courses will be added as conditions permit.
"At present we have some of the most modern mine - surveying equipment," Mr. Risser said, "including an instrument with an auxiliary telescope that permits surveying mine shafts and steep inclines. Department pans call for mine-ventilation and drainage equipment.
"With our curriculum undergoing complete modernization, we have one of the most thorough mining engineering courses of study in the country. This is necessary because Kansas ranks as a leading mineral-
