Students and faculty members from rural and urban Kansas swarmed into the office of The Kansan early this morning to register for the 10th annual Kansan Art Festival, sponsored by the K. U. department of journalism. There was mud hand-shaking and general battle among the 300 delegates as they were assigned their quarters, given pro gramps, and afforded a chance to view artworks at the festival "believe" that brings United Press series vice to the University's daily paper.
No.32
It was estimated that more than 70 high schools are represented in the convention today and tomorrow. Editors, business managers, general staff members from the high school public schools, and other organizations were included in the group.
Faculty Introduced
This morning and this afternoon the teachers and pupils were busy attending the general sessions and getting acquainted in the little theater in Praise, L. N. Flint, chairman of the general session. We had a nice this morning's session. Introductions were made of the instructors in the University's department of Journalism. Prof. W. A. Dill, J. S. Hammond, Alfred Grieve, assistant instructors, and George F. Chuco, librarian, instructor, were introduced in room 1.
Delegates seeking information on the advertising and circulation problems when conflict high school news papers heard Mr. Gravès relate the procedure used by the Kauai in gathering audience feedback. He gave a brief insight into the "covering" of local and national advertising.
Hamilton Delores News
Those interested in deducing what is news heard Mr. Hamilton give high points on the definition of news.
"Anything is news in a high school paper that breaks the monotony and is interesting, such as adventures, the life of a warrior, or newness."
Hamilton told the delegates.
They continued them against use of too many class essays to fill their paper and neglecting the many feature stories that could be found concern-
The high school paper's function was cited by H. K. Chandler of the University of Michigan to give the functions as: the interpretation of school spirit, morale, work in connection with the individual push, the administration, and faculty.
"The average teacher," Mr. Chandler said, is apt to use too much information worth that no one including himself will understand. The paper as a medium of explanation between the school and the public is an increased importance.
"School Is People's"
It is due to the increased size of the schools, Mr. Chandler believes, that the public knows less of the system than they did 20 years ago.
"Whether we realize it or not, the school belongs to the people. If the people understand what the school is trying to do they will be more willing to put up the increased amount of money for the up-know," he said.
The feature address was scheduled to be delivered this afternoon at 5 o'clock in little theater of Fraser by Prof. Railh Crossman, head of the department of journalism at the University of Colorado.
Peter B. M. Roberts, a member of the British Institute of Journalism, and a parliamentary correspondent of the Edinburgh Scotian, will make an address at 11 a.m. tomorrow in the theater of Pruner on "British Journalism"; Mr. Roberts is an editor of British journalists who are touring America as guests of the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.

Journalism Department Founded 25 Years Ago
Twenty-five years ago the U.S. beginning of the present department of Journalism and Information Department the department was started to use the words of Prof. M. H. Mackin, first head of the department, "without a journal, without a press."
In the fall of 1963, after insistence requests for work in journalism, the department of rhetoric and English at Harvard developed a fundamental theory of the newspaper, under the direction of Professor Hopkins. In 1964 a volunteer section of freshman rhetoric students organized a group of reporters, and the newspaper was named The Reporter corps of editors. In the same year the K. U. Press was organized. In 1965 the student stockholders of the Kansas surrendered that newspaper to the journalist department, and recognized and was made for the first time a regularly and completely college newspaper. Professor Hopkins continued as head of the department of journalism at Harvard, and the newspaper Charles M. Harger, new publisher of the Abbine Reflector. During that time the department had progressed wonderfully and was in a comparatively prosperous condition. Professor Merle Thurgeon was later to be the editor of The Nation's Business. In 1964, Prof. L. N. Flint became head of the department of journalism.

Phog Allen Returns From Canadian Trip to Boxing Association
