'Radio Must Be Educated'
In order to produce education by radio, radio itself must be educated, Ben Henneke, professor of speech and director of dramatics at the University of Tulsa, told students Wednesday in the first of The Forums board vocational guidance series.
Professor Henncke talked on education for radio, educational radio, and education by radio. He advocated a liberal arts training for a good educational background.
"Because 93 per cent of the people in the United States have radio sets, radio exerts a great influence on the American public," he said.

Knutson Wants $5 Billion Cut In Income Taxes
Kansas—Fair and slightly warmer
ast and south. High today middle
40's northwest and in 50's south.
Partly cloudy night and Friday.
Washington — (UP) — Chairman Harold Knutson of the house ways and means committee today introduced legislation to cut personal income taxes $5,600,000,000 in 1948 and take 7,400,000 persons off the federal tax rolls.
The Minnesota Republican included in his bill provisions for (1) raising personal exemptions from $500 to $600; (2) a sliding scale of tax cuts ranging from 30 per cent in lower brackets and gradually smaller reductions in higher brackets; (3) extension of community property or "split income" benefits to all states; and (4) an additional $600 tax exemption for persons 65 or older and for the blind.
Colin F. Stam, the committee's tax expert, told reporters federal revenue is now in excess of $45,000;-000,000 a year. He said this was some $10,000,000,000 above expenditures.
Knutson said that under his proposal 77 per cent of the total reduction will go to taxpayers with taxable incomes under $4,000. With the split income privilege, a husband and wife can divide their earnings equally when figuring their taxes. Because tax rates are stiffer in higher brackets, the split often means that their combined tax is less than if either had paid the whole bill.
Benefits In Upper Brackets
Revenue Has Increased
The present community property states are Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan and Louisiana.
Most of the benefits, however, would be reaped by couples in the higher brackets. Those with a net income before exemptions of less than $4,000 would save nothing by splitting income. The reason: $4,000 is the upper limit of the first surtax bracket, and splitting income would not take you out of that bracket.
Slogan No. 54916 Is Bowl Winner
A $5,000-a-year-childless couple now pay $78 in taxes in a community property state and $798 elsewhere. For a $10,000 a year couple the figure would be $1,843 with split income benefits and $2,185 without.
If your slogan was number 54916, you can start packing for a free trip to the Orange Bowl game. The person whose entry blank bears that number should take the stub from his entry blank to Mrs. Jean Mohler in the University Daily Kansan business office as soon as possible. The winner's name and the winning slogan will appear in tomorrow's Kansan. The business office is open until 5 p.m.
The winner will be given two all-expense round trips to the Orange Bowl game in Miami New Year's Day.
The first scholarship gift exclusively for use by the William Allen White School of Journalism has been donated by Mr. and Mrs. Oscar S. Stauffer of Topeka.
Stauffers Give $5,000 Grant
Mr. Stauffer suggested that the endowment association invest the gift in certain high grade stocks to assure the best return compatible with safety. He explained that his reasons for the gift are that he had lived in Arkansas City and his association with the late William Allen White.
The income from the gift of $5,000 will be used each year for a scholarship for some student graduating from the Arkansas City High school. Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that a committee under the general faculty committee on aids and awards will be appointed soon to carry out the provisions of the grant.
It was due to William Allen White that my career turned to journalism since my first two years of newspaper work were on the Emporia Gazette," he said.
Mr. Stauffer is a member of the University board of regents, past president of the alumni association, trustee of the Kansas Memorial Association of World War II, and recipient of the alumna award for distinguished service last year. He is president of Stauffer Publications, Inc., in Topeka.
Orange Bowl tickets can be picked up at the athletic office now, said Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager.
The best of the more than 600 entries was selected by Miss Mary Bunce, instructor in English.
Two tickets is the maximum for each person, he said. Only students, faculty, and alumni are eligible. No tickets will be mailed to persons living in Lawrence. They should be picked up as soon as possible.

Arentson Parents Give To Memorial
A $150 contribution to the University of Kansas World War II Memorial association has been made by Mr. and Mrs. Carl B. Arentson of Kemmerer, Wyo., in memory of their late son, Richard C. Arentson, an A. S. T. P. student at the University in 1943.
Mr. and Mrs. Arentson asked that the money be used for planting evergreen trees around the memorial campanile, since their son had planned to make forestry his career.

Dove States Drop Slightly
1500 Mark Is Reached
Approximately 1,590 copies of the Doe, liberal campus publication, were Wednesday. Frank Stannard, staff member, said.
This figure is about 200 less than sales of other issues. Stannard said that competition of other publications and contribution booths on the campus Wednesday probably accounted for the slight drop.
Donations Carry Band Fund To Half Way Mark
According to the last count Wednesday, the total received at Gov. Frank Carlson's office and station WIBW was $8,900. The largest donation Wednesday was $1,500 from the alumni association of Wyandotte county. Lawrence has nearly $1,500 to its credit.
The band is over half way to Miami.
Alumni chairman of the drive in the various counties have all reported that their quotas will be met although no definite figures are available. Many have informed the governor that they are sending checks for $200 to $300. The quota for each county was slightly more than $100.
The drive on the campus has netted $70 to date. This amount, which includes $40 from the Jay Janes and $10 from Battenfeld hall, has been sent to Topeka. The Jay Janes and KuKu's are soliciting from all organized houses today and tomorrow.
Prof. Russell L. Wiley said this morning that the band will hold its final rehearsal before vacation from 7:30 to 10 tonight. Another rehearsal will be held Dec. 28 before the band starts for Miami.
Fairview, Kan.—(UP)—W. P. (Bill) Lambertson, one-time Kansas Congressman, today announced his candidacy for governor, subject to the Republican primary next Aug. 3. In his announcement, the 67-year-old Kansan plumped for continued prohibition in the state and directed caustic criticism at Gov. Frank Carlson.
GOP Aspirant Raps Carlson
Lambertson described himself as being "articulate for the retention of constitutional prohibition." And he was scornful of Carlson as "the first Republican governor in 68 years to sponsor resubmission—always synonymous with repeal.
(Carlson, a dry personally, guided resubmission of the prohibitory amendment through the 1947 Kansas legislature. That action was a plank in the 1946 GOP platform. The people will vote on repeal next fall.)
The Fairview native said he was "in full accord with the three major efforts of the present Republican congress—tax reduction, economy and the Taft-Hartley Labor bill."
Carlson To Speak At Art Festival
Governor Frank Carlson has accepted the honorary chairmanship of the Festival of Kansas Arts and Crafts and will give the opening address on Feb. 18 when the festival meets in Lawrence.
The five-day festival will meet February 18 to 22. Headquarters and principal exhibits will be in the Community building in downtown Lawrence.
Mrs. Frank T. Stockton originally suggested festival plan to increase local interest in the work of Kansas artists.
