CorrespondenceStudyBureau Does Old Jobs In New Way
By JESSIMAI SHIDLER STRANGE
"New ways to do old jobs" is how Miss Ruth Kenney, director of the University Extension's bureau of correspondence study since 1927, describes the new ideas tried in her department.
The use of cartoons in publicity material has been found to be effective. "People respond readily to a joke or a bit of humor." Miss Kenny said. "One boy even drew a cartoon as an answer to a card we sent."
The printed cartoon postcards also speed up the bureau's job of reminding students who are slow to send in their lessons.
Miss Kenney spoke briefly on education as a life-long process, and the necessity of keeping up with new ideas in science and medicine, as well as political and social changes. She has been interested in adult education for many years and has been secretary of the Kansas Adult Education association since its organization in 1937.
The bureau visits county teachers' institutes to explain the services of University Extension. In August rather than mailing material to individual teachers as had been done before, Miss Kenney wrote to all Kansas county superintendents asking if they would be interested in having an Extension representative visit the regular county institute. Twenty counties sent affirmative replies. Because most of the institutes were held at about the same time, representatives were able to attend only 14. Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, spoke to groups in four counties; Fred Sharpe, Extension lecturer, visited one institute; and Miss Kenney visited nine counties.
She received her A.B. and M.S. degrees from the University. She served as national treasurer for Pi Lambda Theta, honor society for women in education, from 1839 to 1943. For the past three years she has been advisor and treasurer for the local chapter.
The University's Correspondence Study bureau is the sixth largest in the United States, and the clerical work is always heavy.
Instead of mailing a few lessons of a course at the time of enrollment and the rest in installments of four the entire course is mailed at the time the student enrolls. Miss Kenney explained.
“This saves us much clerical work,” she said. “because we don't
have to watch the student's progress and keep him supplied with lessons."
Office work is speeded by use of cardineers, a circular filing system for record cards. As the wheel is turned, the cards appear in alphabetical order. Miss Kenney's bureau is the only campus office using this type of file.
Freshman's Poem To Be Published
A four stanza poem in blank verse written by Ada Van Valkenburg, fine arts freshman, was accepted for publication in the Annual Anthology of College poetry this week.
The poem, entitled "Now," was submitted to the Anthology publishers by a friend of Miss Van Valkenburg, Norman Storer of Park college. Storer is the son of N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy at the University, and also had a poem accepted.
Miss Van Valkenburg's grandfather, W. C. Stevens, retired professor of botany at the University, has written a book on Kansas wildflowers.
Sunflower Residents' Income Reports Due
By filing an income statement at the Sunflower village, a family may either receive a reduction in rent or a raise in rent.
The statement must be filed today at Sunflower.
It is required that 25 per cent of the family income be spent in the form of rent. A family receiving only the government subsistence check therefore will pay less rent than a family that has an additional income.
The purpose in filing the statement is to give the married man in the low income bracket cheaper rent and to make those with higher incomes pay more rent.
Members of the quartet were pleased to see so many young people in the audience, Mr. Koromzay said.
The four musicians, Z. Szekely, A. Moskowsky, D. Koromzay, and V. Palotai, organized their quartet in 1935. Under the German occupation in the Netherlands, they were forbidden to play unless they joined a Nazi organization.
Interest In Chamber Music Shown By KU Students
European students have shown less interest in chamber music than American students, said Denes Koromzay, member of the Hungarian quartet which played Monday in Strong auditorium.
"No self-respecting artist would do this," said Mr. Koromzay. "We stopped playing except before small, private groups."
Each member of the quartet owns an old and valuable instrument. Mr. Moskowsky, second violinist, plays a Guarnerius del Jesu made in 1738.
Mr. Koromzya's viola was made by the Venetian craftsmans Goff-riller. Because it was much larger than the average viola and there-fore it was a great part of its time in an Italian museum before Mr. Koromzya bought it.
Mr. Szekely's violin was the gift of an English businessman who heard him play at the Royal Albert hall in London. After his performance, the businessman told Szekely to pick any violin he wanted, and he would buy it for him. Szekely spent two years searching before he found the 1718 Stradivarius which he now plays.
Mr. Palotai bought his Carlo Berconi cello in Paris in 1940. It was a part of a private collection there, but the threat of German invasion prompted the owner to sell it since it would be difficult to take with him in case he needed to flee.
Mr. Palota's wife is traveling with him. The other three men have wives and families in the Netherlands whom they hope to join for Christmas.
To Uphold Curfew Pals Don't Like
Albuquerque, N.M., Nov. 18—(U.P.)
—His friends may not like it, but
Albert Sanchez says he's going to
have to enforce the Albuquerque
curfew law which requires young-
sters under 16 to be off city streets
by 9 p.m.
Sanchez will be city police chief Saturday, which is kid's day in Albuquerque.
Most of Sanchez's friends believe the age limit should be lowered to 12. Bonnie Snider of Albuquerque High school thinks youngsters around 16 are more capable of taking care of themselves than city officials think. The majority of the youngsters who will be city officials Saturday agree with her, Joanne Ticknor said it's the parents, not the children, who should be watched on juvenile delinquency.

It's Rough Here, Too
Music Makes Moods Gaston Tells Club
Fall River, Mass.—(U.P.)—Bums and drunks have found a new way to beat the price of a flop house. Police have found them getting into unlocked automobiles on used car lots and curling up for some sleep in the rear seat.
Music affects and changes the moods of people, E. Thayer Gaston, professor of music education, told members of University club Wednesday.
Discussing "How Music Influences People," Professor Gaston said, "If there is one property we are certain music has, it is that music can and does effect and change their moods."
Professor Gaston illustrated his lecture with slides of paintings made by Kansas City art students as they listened to records and painted whatever the music suggested to them.
