STUDENT NEWS PAPER
Kansas Coeds Treated Royally At Royal
Barbara Burkholder, College junior, representing Lawrence, and Mary Lou Martin, fine arts sophomore, representing Topeka, were chosen two of eight ladies-in-waiting to the American Royal Queen Oct. 15 in Kansas City, Mo.
Fifty one girls from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas vied for the title of queen of the American Royal.
The queen, her two princesses and the eight attendants were announced at a luncheon Oct. 15. The coronations service and formal ball were held the same night.
"We really felt like royalty." Miss Burkholder said. "We had pages to carry our trains during the coroation and were given real court ceremony."
something Miss Martin also recalled meeting movie star Walter Pidgeon and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey during her stay in Kansas City. She was particularly impressed because all candidates and ladies-in-waiting were treated "just like we were one queen."
"The ceremony impressed me most." Miss Martin added. "It was so much like a real court it seemed something like being in heaven."
The queen candidates were guests of the Hotel Continental and were honored with banquets, luncheons and dances.
Miss Burkholder said the only part of the weekend which she didn't like was riding on floats in a light rain Saturday morning.
"It reminded me of the rain which always pops up during the Home-coming parades," Miss Burkholder said, smiling.
"I can understand why we were called ladies-in-waiting," she added. "We spent much of our time waiting."
She said her three days were "wonderful" and would always be a highpoint in her life, 'but she was happy to be back in La...ence.
"I'm going to wear 'fats' for awhile," she laughed. "I had on high heels the entire time I was here."
Miss Burkholder is a member of Sigma Kappa. Miss Martin-is a member of Chi Omega.
Girls' Deans Hear Foster
Schools should concentrate on how they can be more friendly and helpful. Dr.Robert G. Foster told deans and advisers at the 32nd annual conference of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women and Advisers of Girls Oct.16. Dr.Foster is professor of home economics.
The high school section discussed special problems in guidance. Miss Minnie Dingee, director of guidance of the Kansas City, Mo., public schools, was the speaker.
Earlier in the day the conference divided into three panels. The college section discussed leadership for women in colleges and universities, the function and use of student government, and group counselling. The speaker was Miss Helen Moore of Kansas State college.
The junior college section discussed the guidance program in junior colleges and the topic, "For What is the Junior College Educating its Girls?" Mrs. Marie Diggs, Cofeyville Junior college, was the speaker.
Miss Mary Fee, McPherson college,
was elected president for 1948-49.
NROTC Students Record Lessons
Students in the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, learn public speaking as well as naval science in the classes of Lt. Comdr. W. A. Mann.
At the beginning of class, Commander Mann hands the microphone of a wire recorder to a student picked at random and asks for a three-minute summary of the lesson. The recording is played backed then and the class may criticize both the delivery and the subject matter of the speaker.
"I sometimes call on the same man twice in a row, so everyone usually has his lesson."
Students To Vote In Hoch Lobby
Students not registered here but qualified elsewhere in Kansas can vote at this place if it is inconvenient to return home. The absentee's ballot will be sent to his locality. T.R. Gerhart, Douglas county clerk, regularly makes this arrangement for University students.

News Seniors Get Practice
Four daily newspapers are giving 21 senior reporting students at the University three months of practical experience.
As part of required work in Newspaper Reporting of Public Affairs, taught by Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, each student will work every week under the city editor of one of the four co-operating papers—the Lawrence Journal-World, the Kansas City Kansan, the Topeka Daily Capital, and the Ottawa Herald.
This practical laboratory experience, dovetailed with classroom work, has been a requirement since 1941 when the original group began work on the Journal-World. In the spring of 1942, the Topeka Capital co-operated and the arrangement was resumed the past year. William Bailey, editor of the Kansas City Kansan, offered to hitch his city room to the University journalism classroom in 1947, and Syd Harris added his Ottawa Herald this year.
Students cover city hall, courthouse, police, speeches, meetings, accidents, sports, society. They also do office rewrite work and work on special feature article assignments. Copies of all stories they write are criticized and appraised by Professor Beth.
Working on the Lawrence Journal- World this semester are Lois Lauer John H. Stauffer, Charles C. Moffett, fames D. Head, Keith M. Wright, jack W. Robinson, and Harold D. Nelson.
Reporting on the Ottawa Herald are Paul R. Conrad, Maurice C. Lungren, H. Cooper Rollow, and John F. Wheeler.
On the Kansas City Kansan are Mary Jane Horton, Doris Stalnaker Howland, and Bill D. Barger.
On the Topeka Capital are Marjorie Burttscher, Patricia James, Patricia Bentley, Bill F Mayer, Osmero L. Bartelli, James L. Robinson, and *ames O. Jones*.
