High Schools Exchange Hints Through Survey
A survey of journalism in Kansas high schools is being made by the University department of journalism. Questionnaires have been sent out to get information on what each school is doing in this field, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, announced today.
The survey is part of the work the department is doing promote the interests of high school journalism throughout With the information $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
The survey is part of the to promote the interests of high the state. With the information thus obtained, the department will know more about the journalistic activities of each school, and be better equipped to aid and advise them. Jerome Escoe, graduate student, who is working on the project, will tabulate the information, and distribute the results to each school.
Aid High School Journalists
The material received will also be used as an aid in organizing a course for high school journalism advisers. Entitled "Supervising High School Publications," the two hour course was recently approved by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a part of the regular summer session curriculum.
Although it will not be offered during the summer of 1942, the department is interested in learning what Kansas high school journalism teachers think of such a course, and in receiving their suggestions concerning the problems it should consider.
The questions are classed in five categories:
1. The name of the instructor, his qualifications and experience, the type of course taught, its scope, texts and references used, when the course is offered, who may take it, normal enrollment, whether it is required of the publication's staff members.
Inquire Into Advertising
2. The name of the newspaper, its size, cost per issue, frequency of publication, whether printed, mime-graphed, or lithographed, how the staff positions are filled.
3. Advertising: percentage of total cost paid by advertising revenue, number of column inches in average issue, rate for ads, successful methods used to sell advertising space, stunts used to induce student patronage of advertisers.
4. Circulation data: cost of subscription per year, per semester; number of issues a semester, average number of subscriptions, percentage of subscriptions among student body, revenue allotted to publication from activity ticket sales, other sources of revenue, whether student subscriptions are included in activity ticket price.
5. Yearbook (as published in 1941): name, size, cost of printing, art work, pictures; price per copy and number of copies sold; revenue from sales, from ads; advertising rates; method of printing used: Letterpress, offset lithography, or nimecographed; how photographs were obtained, whether from students or from commercial photographers.
Survey Results Distributed
This survey will better acquaint us University department with the problems confronting teachers of high school journalism courses. Also, it will bring to their attention any new papers which have recently begun publication. The results distributed among the schools will make it possible for them to know what others are doing along this line, and make it possible for them to exchange helpful hints, new
practices, and information of general interest.
Each school is encouraged to send a copy of its paper, magazine, or yearbook to the department of journalism for a comparative study of the different practices throughout the state.
Anderson to Speak To Pi Lambda Theta
Dr. Howard R. Anderson, associate professor at Cornell University and director of social studies in the Ithaca, N. Y. high school, will address the annual open meeting of the Gamma chapter of Pi Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Appearing through the co-operation of the School of Education, Anderson will speak on "Teaching Critical Thinking."
President of the National Council for Social Studies in 1940. Anderson is the co-author of four bulletins published by that organization. He is the author of several social studies text books and is at present a member of the National Council board of directors.
From April, 1917, to May, 1919 Anderson was in the United States army, serving overseas. After receiving his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Iowa, he joined the faculty at Cornell University in 1937.
The local chapter of Pi Lambda Theta has sent over 250 invitations to students in the School of Education and faculty members and wives in the School of Education and the social science courses. Other students in the education classes will be invited by announcement.

A group of vocal selections will be presented by Melva Good, college senior, accompanied by Winifred Hill, fine arts senior.
JAYHAWKS---somewhat like in agate. According to a report, the amber was originally discovered either in 1937 or in January 1938, by Mr. George Jelinek, of Ellsworth, after whom the substance was named "Jelinite." The Kansas amber is at least 60,-000,000 years old.
When Tucker did return, he made his presence known immediately by cashing in 18 points against Missouri. In two following games with Nebraska he scored 17 points in each game and then climaxed his appearances with a 25-point splurge against Iowa State when the Sooners lost their second conference game.
Tucker Must Be Stopped
Tucker will enter the game tonight with a 19.25 points-a-game average and this is what the Jayhawkers will have to stop if they hope to come out victorious. "Phog" Allen did not state definitely before he left Tuesday night on the two-game Oklahoma tour which player he would assign to guard Tucker during the game.
It is probable that Ray Evans, outstanding guard, will draw the assignment. Allen will not try to let this be a one-man job, however, and another Jayhawk, the player that happens to be closest to Tucker when he receives the ball, will undoubtedly double up with Evans in an attempt to hold Tucker's scoring down.
Drake's defensive plans are uncertain but he has two top-notch starters who can be given the task of guarding Ralph Miller, the Jayhawk hot-shot. Bob McCurdy, who has been nicknamed "Manacles" because of his tenacious defensive qualities, has been drawing the toughest assignment in past games and is the likely choice. However, Drake may cross up this plan by giving the position to Tucker who also is known for his excellent guarding capabilities.
KANSAS AMBER---somewhat like in agate. According to a report, the amber was originally discovered either in 1937 or in January 1938, by Mr. George Jelinek, of Ellsworth, after whom the substance was named "Jelinite." The Kansas amber is at least 60,-000,000 years old.

Interest to Geologists
Amber is of special interest to geologists for often it contains inclusions of fossil insects, and of vegetable remains, such as seeds, leaves, flowers, and mosses, as well as liquids.
It is used for beads, earrings, pipe stems, cigar holders, and various ornaments. It was one of the first substances used by early man for decoration, and was also employed for medicinal purposes. Much of the commercial amber is washed up from submarine deposits along the coasts of the Baltic and North seas. It also occurs in Sicily and India, and has been reported in the United
States from Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Wyoming. Found in River Bank
The Kansas amber is found in Ellsworth county along the banks of the Smoky Hill river about five miles south of Carniero. It occurs in pockets in a shale about three to four feet above the river level. The amber is in the form of irregular lumps from the size of a pea to pieces that measure more than four by four by two inches. Associated with it is peat, decayed and fossilized wood, and pyrite, or oor fool's gold. My particular specimen is light butterscotch in color, waxy, shines as if polished, and is made up of more or less concentric bands
