Four Former K.U. Journalism Heads Will Meet Again at Banquet
These are the four men who will make history at the annual Kansan Board dinner this year. They are the four former heads of journalism training at K.U., and they're all scheduled to attend the dinner, an annual affair honoring leading journalism students. Left to right, they are Charles Harger, of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, who first organized the journalism
Crafton, Hageman Conclude Y.W.C.A. Leadership Series
"We have utterly failed in the pursuit of happiness," Mrs. Jessica Crafton told Y.W.C.A. members last week. Mrs. Crafton was the fourth of five speakers in the Y.W.C.A.'s leadership training course.
Miss Hageman explained that the leader of a group of committee must be a step ahead of the group, and that the leaders, especially those in Y.W.C.A., are responsible for the social development of each person in the group.
"Creative work is recreative, and the intellectual person is only happy doing that which taxes his mind and emotions. Happiness is the warm satisfaction of having done something for people around you," Mrs Crafton said.
Summing up the ways of becoming part of a community, Mrs. Crafton advised the women to find out how the community is being governed, to belong to groups such as the P.T.A., and to choose their own outside work.
Miss Greta Hageman, business and industrial girls' program director from Topeka, gave the closing speech in the series Friday afternoon.

"Daddy" Flint, dean of American journalism educators, who was department chairman 25 years and still teaches a full course, and Merle Thorpe, first department chairman here, and recently editor of Nation's Business magazine.
Examples of an ideal meeting, in which everyone participated, and an undesirable meeting, in which few contributions were made by members, were enacted under Miss Hageman's direction.
Inter-Dorm Election Postponed
Certificates of award were given to all women who had attended at least four of the five meetings.
The election of officers for Inter-Dorm council has been postponed until May 20, the last regular meeting for this year, June Peterson president, announced today.

He established his reputation as a physician in Stockholm but the university at Uppsala persuaded him to become professor of medicine and later professor of botany.

This club, replacing the botany club which became inactive during the war, has taken its name from the father of modern systematic botany, Carol von Linne, a Swede whose name was later Latinized to Corolus Linnaeus.
Lure of Lucre Finally Claims Our John Ise
John Ise, K.U.'s own "curmudgeon" has finally broken down to the "lure of lucre."
Professor Ise, of the department of economics, has written a text for introductory economics entitled tersely "Economics," after as he says in his press, "resisting the lure of lucre and the blandishments of publishers for 30 years."
The volume runs 731 pages with each page divided into two columns, and frequent subheads and illustrations.
Professor Ise dedicated the book to his wife, who, according to his dedication, "cheered me by saying she thought it interesting."
Professor Ise says that in the book he has "attempted to point out some of the many weaknesses of our capitalistic system and to suggest corrections which I feel must be made if our capitalistic order is to avoid the world trend toward socialism or collectivism."
Dean Frank T. Stockton, School of Business says that "few books have been awaited with as much interest as Professor Ise's text" and he believes that the extensive interest in the book will cause it to be widely adopted.
Although this is his first text, Professor Ise is not a newcomer to the writing field having written for publication many times since he graduated from the University in 1908. Since then he has picked up four degrees, has been teaching since 1916 and has been a professor since 1920. Professor Ise specializes in economic theory, and land problems.
Forum Discusses Economic Problems
"Western civilization is something that will embrace the world. The study of it will give the student an understanding of the East as well as the West," W. E. Sandelius, political science professor, said in opening the Western civilization forum last night in Green Hall.
"Ideas of the Christian civilization are reason and concern for the other man. Democracy means the rights of man—all men. The problem is how to integrate the idea of a nation with the other fact which disturbs thoughts of unity and class conflict." Professor Sandelius added.
Student speakers, all of whom are college freshmen, and their topics for the forum were Virginia Joseph introduction and a brief sketch of the economic history of the world; Dorothy Scroggy Naturalism; Wilbur Noble, the Rise of the Bourgeois; Keith Wilson, Capitalism; Shirley Keith, the Radical Revolt. Professor Sandellus acted as moderator.
U.H.S. Wins Award For Human Interest In Newspaper Contest
University High school received honorable mention in the editorial and human interest story divisions of the 26th annual University contest for high school newspapers.
"Faculty members of the journalism department judged the contest, basing the ratings upon the merit of the competing entries." Prof. Elmer Beth, department chairman, explained.
"The contest shows," he said, "that a high standard is being maintained by Kansas high school journalists, their teachers, and advisers."
The following schools received first place awards in the contest divisions:
Fort Scott High school, news story; Summer High school, Kansas City, editorial; Holton High school, feature story; Newton High school, human interest story; Topea High school, interview; Parsons High school, sports; Pittsburgh High school, service to school; and Argentine High school, Kansas City, business management.
Copies of the announcement of first, second, third, and honorable mention awards have been sent to the high schools in the state and to newspapers in every county in Kansas, Professor Beth said.
Germany Was Licked Just A Year Ago Today
This is an election year with a presidential polling coming up in 1948. All hands in office are playing politics which is one of the basic reasons for difficulties on the home front. Strikes which were in a sense invited by the administration have hit production a staggering blow. Mr. Trump and his labor aides have permitted a soft coal strike to bring the country to what the White House itself describes as the brink of national disaster.
Washington, (UP)—Germany was licked one year ago today and in the ensuing 12 months the world has spun into a condition of economic and political crisis.
Over all lies the fateful shadow of man's conquest of the atom. The future of nuclear energy as a weapon and as a surce of power remains obscure. But the questions raised already have created fears, dissension and suspicion among the Allies who were joined one year ago in licking Hitler.
A new and perhaps more courageous congress will assemble. Washington next January. With two years of office assured members of the house before another election, the legislators may deal more directly with some of the hard jobs awaiting them.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Bad as the situation is, or could become, there is a brighter side of the picture. Except for the famine conditions abroad, which must be met immediately if they are to be met at all, there is time for the United States and the world to work out of the shadows. When the coal strike is ended, it is likely that the worst of the labor trouble will be over for a while.
The United Nations organization in which reposes the world's hopes for peace is jeopardized by big four controversies which at this moment have the Paris conference of foreign ministers in deadlock. In cracker barrel idiom, things are in a mess.
