University Daily Kansan Presents—
Kay Follows Dad's Footsteps- But Makes Tracks On Her Own
"Life with father" seems to have impressed at least one University coed so greatly that she is following her dad's footsteps very closely.
In the 1920's' Ray Dyer, now editor and publisher of the ElReno, Okla, Daily Tribune, left a journalistic impression upon K. U. by serving as campus editor, news editor, and finally editor-in-chief of the University Daily Kansan. Now his daughter, Mary Kay, is to be managing editor of the UDK after having served as assistant telegraph editor, telegraph editor, and assistant managing editor.
Miss Kay Dyer
Yes, the newspaper blood must run in the family—or could it be environment? When she reached the sixth grade, Kay had "been around" the office of her father's newspaper enough to know she wanted to be a writer. At that early age her goal was a little short of a novelist. In a few years, however, she decided newspaper work would satisfy her yen, especially after serving as editor of the ElReno High School Boomer.
Kay's father began campaigning for K. U. when graduation time rolled around, but Kay decided to enroll in Texas State College for Women at Denton. During her two years there she began learning journalism by writing a feature column for the Lass-o, a publication which is thought to be the only girl's school daily in the country.
Partly because of a desire to meet new people rather than follow her childhood chums to the University of Oklahoma, Kay decided to accept her father's advice and come to Lawrence. She likes Kansans better than Texans, but makes no comment on comparisons with Oklahomans.
With a lot of big ideas, Kay is now ready to grasp the reins which guide the Daily Kansan. She has added several more positions to the staff which is to assume control at the beginning of the spring semester, not only to lighten the load of the group but also to give more students an opportunity to share in the executive operations of the newspaper
Disliking the limit on variety in the Kansan's appearance, Kay is considering the idea of reducing the UDK name plate to a three column cut which could be shoved around to vary the make-up. She thoroughly enjoys her work on the Kansan "because it's run like a real newspaper." Journalism even occupies part of Kay's leisure time with such activities as treasurer of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary and professional fraternity for women in journalism.
Although she has worked for the ElReno Tribune during the summer's since her high school graduation, Kay does not plan to return home after she walks down the Hill next spring. Ignoring the ElReno paper as well as her father's newest possessions, the Phoenix Gazette and the Arizona Republic, Kay would like to do editing work in Kansas She willingly gives to her brother a freshman at the University of Oklahoma, all rights to help run her Dad's newspapers, for she wants to have a job on her own—at least for a while.
The estimated population of China 1948 was more than 463 million.

Crosby's Son Makes Radio Debut Tonight
San Francisco, Jan. 18 — (U,P)— Gary Crosby, 16-year-old son of crooner Bing, makes his radio debut tonight.
And it's not because I'm looking ahead to old age," protested pop, nearing completion of two decades of popularity.
"I'll keep going for awhile," the old groaner said. "But I hope Gary's successful. I could even quit and be his agent."
Young Crosby, a student at a San Jose prep school, makes his bow at 6:30 p.m. PST (9:30 p.m. EST) over the Chesterfield Hour (CBS) with his pop and Barbara Whiting, He'll sing "Dear Hearts and Gentle People" and "Be in and out" the whole half-hour program. Bing said.
For that, young Crosby will get $25—union scale.
"He hasn't heard of the big salaries vet," said the elder Crosby.
The show was a tape recording, transcribed Monday night on the stage of the Marine Memorial club here.
Pop Crosby guessed as how his young one turned in a "pretty darned good" performance.
"The cast thought he did a good job, too," he added.
The show's producer, Bill Morrow, here from Hollywood, thought more than that.
"He's really got it," Morrow said. "He's got the same composure and easy-going qualities as Bing."
Bing said Gary really "didn't want to go on at first—he thought he'd get razzed by his pals at school."
YOUR EYES
Bath-time is "pretty noisy" he agreed, and there was plenty of harmony in the Crosby household most of the time. None of the youngsters has had any formal musical or singing instruction.
As to any comparison with his dad, "well, he favors me a little, has my coloring," the elder admitted. But three other Crosby characteristics—on horses, bright • colored shirts and golf–drew a blank.
Gary, a B-plus student, is fullback on the school football team and plays baseball.
Crosby the elder said that Gary, the eldest of his four boys, was just like the rest of the youngsters in polo and with music since they were babies."
