11 Campus Publications Show Variety
By JEANNE FITZGERALD
There are two political magazines, a calendar, a humor magazine, an orientation book, a student activities publication, and a humanities and political magazine among the 11 student publications at the University.
Besides the above varieties, there are three publications for special groups and a daily newspaper to broaden the scope of the student's reading.
These publications differ greatly in their purpose, from the liberalism of the Dove, political magazine, to the school spirit and activities listed in the Jawhacker.
The purpose of the Jayhawker is to "cover pictorially and with feature stories as much of the life of the campus as possible," said Win Koerper, College senior and editor of the annual.
Donovan Hull, president of the senior class, said the purpose of the KU Calendar is to give students a means of keeping track of campus activities and something in the way of a souvenir.
The third publication is the K-Book published primarily as a means of orientating new students. K-Book chairman is Donald Woodson, College junior.
Among the political sheets,
FACTS, official fact of FACTS student political party, is published every two months, and the Dove, which leans toward liberalism in politics, comes out irregularly.
Two other publications of the same nature are the Y-Not, WYCA publication, and the Y-Jayhawker, YMCA publication. The Y-Jayhawker has not been published yet this year, due to financial difficulties, but the Y-Not is mimeographed once a month and sent out to all the YWCA members.
Elmer Rusco, graduate student, is a past editor of the Dove. The magazine hasn't appeared yet this year. It was published only three times last year with a different editor each time.
The Rochdale Rag is a weekly newspaper published by members of co-operative houses on the campus. It is published for members of the co-operative houses only, and serves as a means of communication between them.
Rusco said the reason for the turnover in editors was that most students didn't feel they had time to take on the responsibility of editing more than one issue of the publication.
The Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, has the simplest purpose of all. Lee Sheppead, journalism senior and editor of the magazine,
150To200KU Students Use Nursery School For Research

New additions, recently completed, are an observation room, concrete play areas outside, a play house and a toy shelter. In addition redecoration of the entire house has been finished by the University buildings and grounds department.
The nursery at present has 40 youngsters enrolled. Any normal child regardless of race may be enrolled at the school.
There have been several visitors at the nursery each year from abroad and throughout the country. Many other nurseries are modeled on the same plan as the one here.
The house includes two large play rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, three bathrooms, a sleeping room, two observation play rooms and a
For critical discussions, students may turn to Upstream, a humanities and political magazine. Dan Gallin, College senior and editor, said the magazine contains articles on politics and national issues as well as purely literary articles, and poems.

The school was founded in 1943 by the University under the provisions of the Lenham act. The act provided funds for day care of children whose parents were employed in work helpful to the war effort. At the close of World War II in 1945 the University took over the financing of the school and now charges a fee for each child.
Judges for the contest will be Neal Reyburn, president of the Home Building corporation; J. M. Kellogg, professor of architecture; Vernor F. Smith, associate professor of architecture; Alton C. Thomas, assistant professor of architecture, and Helen R. Beal, wife of Professor Beal.

Students Train To Become Amateur Radio Operators
By PHIL NEWMAN

Want to become a licensed amateur radio operator?
Then just start attending the code practice sessions sponsored by the Amateur Radio club.
The meetings, at 7 p.m. each Wednesday in the Electrical Engineering building, are used as teaching periods on amateur radio operation code efficiency.
The sessions are conducted by Richard Shackelford, engineering senior who is club president, and Kenneth Jellison, engineering freshman.
"There are 15 persons in the class now and we hope more will join soon because it isn't too late," Jellison said.
To obtain a novice operator's license the applicant must be able to send and receive at least five words in code a minute.
"Our equipment consists mainly of a tape code-sending machine," Jellison said.
After mastering this requirement the applicant takes an FCC examination in Kansas City. If he passes the exam he is issued a novice class amateur radio operator license.
"We use the regular international Morse code in our work. It's quite a bit different from the Morse code used by the railroads," he said.
During the code-practice sessions code is sent over a loud-speaker into the room. Students take it down in a notebook. Each person also practices
sending the code.
This higher classification requires the applicant to send or receive 13 words a minute and entitles him to operate a radio telephone and operate on all amateur radio bands.
In comparison, a person with a novice license is restricted to certain frequency bands.
