Something new in Kansas state government is represented by the "internship" program in which the University and state department of civil service are currently co-operating.
Senior Coed Pioneers In Political "Internship"
Mary Lou Shewey, College senior, spending four days each week in the offices of the civil service department in Topeka as a part of her work toward completion of her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.
During the six weeks of her internship, Miss Shewey is being assigned for a short while to each of the units of the department and is being given work assignments which will familiarize her with the actual operating procedures and problems of the state personnel department.
First One in Kansas
This is the first internship of its kind in the history of Kansas state government, according to Charles B. Newell, director of the civil service department.
"It may be likened," he said, "to the internship program of the National Institute of Public Affairs, under which graduate students in public administration from all over the nation are given the opportunity to work and study in the federal departments and commissions in Washington, D.C.
"Good Practical Experience"
"The practical experience gained by such students in their contacts with operating government agencies does much to increase interest in the government service and aids materially in building up a reservoir of well-qualified personnel to fill important posts in the civil service. Internship programs for the state government have similar potentialities." Newell concluded.
Miss Shewey is studying now under the direction of Dr. E. O. Stene, professor of political science, and Dr. Frederick H. Guild, director of the research department of Kansas Legislative Council.
Presidents Started A Lot of Precedents
Some people talk about Presid-
tial precedents and White House odi-
dities these days—H. O. Bishop, of
Bridgeport, Conn., collects them.
Gems he figured out:
Lincoln was the first President to wear a beard. Grant was the first to sport a moustache. Van Buren was the first not born a British subject. Franklin Pierce, fourteenth President, had 14 letters in his name. Tyler's first wife died in the White House where he married his second. Garfield spoke German and made speeches in that language. He was, among other things, a licensed preacher.
John Adams was the first to occupy the White House in Washington. William Henry Harrison's inaugural address was the longest-winded—8,578 words. Zachary Taylor never voted or held office until he was elected President. Monroe studied law in Jefferson's office.
Washington died in the last year of the 1700's i last month of the year, last day of the week, and last hour of the day. But the one we like best is that Washington was the country's first mule breeder.
Chi Omega Alumna Weds Prominent Californian
The marriage of Mrs. Marie De Longy, the former Marie Dent who was a University student in 1918, to Earl B.

Miss Harris was graduated from the College last June. Mr. Doors was printing instructor at Liberty Memorial high school in Lawrence for two years. He recently purchased the Solomon Valley Tribune at Solomon, where the couple will live.
Alfred G. Hill, who was graduated in 1917, is publisher of the Times at Chester, Pa. He has won approval for purchase of the controlling interest in the WILM radio station, operated at Wilmington, Del. If permitted, he may move it at a later time to Chester.

Mr. Hillis to be one of the principal speakers at the University Roundtable October 21.
For the second time in its history, the American Veterinary Medical Association has elected a layman to membership. William J. Miller, a 1908 graduate, secretary of the Kansas Livestock Association and State Livestock Commission, was elected last week. Vice-President Henry A. Wallace was elevated to the AVMA roster years ago while he was Secretary of Agriculture.
