Flying Program Renewed for KU
The Erhart Flying Service has recently been awarded a new Air Force ROTC contract for the school year of 1960-61, it was announced by Lt. Col. Robert P. Ash, Professor of Air Sciences at the University of Kansas. The Erhart Flying Service has conducted the Flight Instruction program since January 1957 with a perfect safety record.
The University of Kansas Air Force ROTC was one of the first units to offer flight training. Air Force ROTC cadets at 162 colleges and universities are now getting flight training as part of their a regular course of instruction.
Voter's Guide To Be Published
The booklet brings together into one source more complete information on procedures, platforms, political parties, and candidates than the voter might otherwise possess. The voter is informed of the registration and voting procedures and requirements in Kansas, and the balloting process is discussed. Sample ballots are included in the publication. Proposed constitutional amendments are briefly summarized.
Political party organization in Kansas is diagrammed and explained. Both of the major parties are organized on a hierarchical framework, beginning with the county committee.
Following a procedure started in 1552, the Governmental Research Center here will soon publish the "1960 Voter's Guide," a source book of information for Kansas voters for the coming general election.
State law requires the successive levels of party committees to be composed of persons originally elected as committeeemen and committeeewomen in each of the precincts in the state at each party's primary election. Equal representation of men and women on the various party committees is also required by state law. The guide contains the names of county, district and state political party officers, and the political party platforms.
Registration is a requirement for voting in both the primary and the general election, but in either election it is required only in certain heavily populated areas of Kansas. To register, one must appear before the registration officer and apply for a registration certificate although provision is made for absentee registration under certain conditions.
Also offered for the voter's information is a brief biographical sketch of each candidate of the Kansas parties for state and national office.
At the actual election persons physically unable to mark their ballots can now so declare to the election board and one judge and one clerk from the board, representing different parties will accompany the voter to the booth and mark the ballot as he instructs.
Russia Boosting Red German Navy
HAMBURG, Germany —(UPI)— Russia is building up Communist East Germany's small and outmoded fleet in a move to match West Germany's growing Naval strength, according to Western intelligence reports.
Soviet efforts to give the Communist Navy more fighting punch are viewed by West German defense officials as a communist action that will strengthen Bonn's attempts to lift restrictions imposed on the West German Navy by the Western European Union.
Adm. Arleigh Burke, U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, has seconded German motions to change the current tonnage limit for surface warships from 3,000 tons to 5,000 tons and permit the country to build submarines larger than 350 tons.

"Ive always been fascinated by police cars."
Started only four years ago, FIP — Flight Instruction Program — has proven its value in a variety of ways. Many Air Force ROTC cadets become interested in the Air Force as a career because of FIP and qualified basic cadets are encouraged to continue ROTC instruction since the flying portion is only available to seniors.
Another important aspect is learning early whether or not a cadet is suited for flying training, eliminating costly pre-flight and some expensive flight sessions.
Slightly more than 36 hours flying time is logged by cadets who successfully complete the prescribed course and they are eligible to take a flight check for a private pilot's license, although this is not mandatory as far as the Air Force is concerned.
Actual flying instruction is provided by private instructors using private planes. Some of the schools maintain their own flying instruction units, while others use a civilian contractor. All ground school subjects are taught by regularly assigned Air Force ROTC instructors and FAA certifies and monitors the flight operations. At the University of Kansas, Captains Kenneth L. Shook and Elbert H. Austin conduct the ground school.
Studies based on data furnished by the Air Training Command indicates cadets who have finished the FIP are eliminated from the Air Force training program less than half as often as cadets without the FIP training. It actually costs about $8,-400 less to train a cadet who is a FIP graduate, a considerable saving.

Two University of Kansas graduate students have been awarded travel costs by the Fulbright program to supplement their awards in the KU program of direct student exchanges with individual universities abroad.
Students Given Travel Awards
Coomes is working toward a Ph.D, in history. He has received two University Fellowships and one University Scholarship, annual awards open to graduate students at KU.
Dependable "Hands"
Kahle is working toward an M.A. degree in English, and he held a University Scholarship in 1958-59.
The two recipients are Edward J. Coomes Jr., Kansas City, Mo., who will study history at Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany, and Robert Charles Kahle, Topeka, who will study medieval German literature at the University of Kiel, Germany.
The original awards were made by the University of Kansas, which maintains exchange agreements with the German universities and others in England, Scotland, France, and Switzerland.
The Fulbright supplement covers round-trip travel expenses for the two appointments, both for the 1960-61 academic year.

Tuesday. July 26. 1960
NEW YORK—(UPI) A physician who is given to asking psychological questions of his patients was surprised by how many housewives, "seemingly happily married," now and then imagine themselves suddenly leaving home, husband and children.
Query Shows Women Think of Leaving Home
His newest report was on 400 run-of-the-mill persons who go to a doctor with a physical complaint. Sixty per cent were women and 10 per cent of these had those occasional fantasies of walking out on their families. Palmer took these women and his other patients to be representative.
While taking blood pressures and otherwise looking his patients over, Palmer asked about feelings of ten-
"A few even go out and start off only to return after two or three blocks," said Dr. Robert Sterling Pelmer of Boston in reporting on how much a doctor can learn about people by asking the right questions and how much better the people feel when they answer them.
Palmer is not a psychiatrist but an internist, treating the range of common body complaints. But he has long been a student of the effect emotions have on body functions and as long ago as 1950 he published a scientific run-down on personality types and high blood pressure.

ston or anxiety and if they thought they had a particular disease, leading up to this question: "Do you ever ask yourself what you are getting out of life?"
Somewhat later, when they had dealt with that one, Palmer had two more for them: "Do you ever ask yourself the meaning of life?" and "Do you have a sense of dread or forboding, panic or terror?" Palmer reported to the New England Journal of Medicine that most of the 400 were "more than willing" to answer the questions, and in some detail.
Following scientific methods, Palmer tabulated the answers and found that 47 per cent of the 400 said yes, they did ask themselves what they were getting. "A few felt cheated by life and some said they more often asked themselves what they had given to life."
As for the meaning of life, only 34 per cent said yes and they often asked a question of their own,
"Doesn't everyone?"
