KU Programs Receive Grants
Two training programs in the University's psychology department have received renewed support from the U.S. Public Health Service for this year.
The graduate training program in social psychology received a grant of $20,342. Jay M. Jackson, professor of psychology. Is the director.
Although the program is only two years old there will be 15 or 16 graduate students working toward the Ph.D. degree next fall, which puts KU's program among the four largest in the country.
the trainees work with various faculty members of the social psychology staff who are conducting research projects throughout the state.
M. Erik Wright, who has directed the program in the past, will hold a Fulbright Lectureship in mental health at the University of Western Australia at Perth during the 1960-61 academic year. The director during his absence will be announced later.
The clinical psychology training program has been granted $65,735
During the training period the students work under supervision at the KU Psychology Clinic and spend a year of internship in a hospital, guidance clinic or special mental health agency.
The KU Psychological Clinic emphasizes experience with children's emotional, educational and psychological adjustment problems.

Delays Mark Early Days of Conventions
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Delegates to political conventions sit through two or three days of speech-making, platform writing and other preliminaries before tackling their big job of nominating a candidate for president.
Harmony usually prevails at the warm-up sessions at Republican conventions. But the Democrats invariably get embroiled in one or two preliminary fights in which the slugging gets almost as rough as in the main bout.
Tentative convention programs are laid out weeks in advance under the auspices of the national committees of the two parties. This planning includes the selection of convention officers, who, with rare exceptions, are routinely elected by the conventions.
The officers include the temporary chairman, permanent chairman and the chairmen of the platform and credentials committees. The temporary chairman gives the keynote speech for the Democrats, but the Republicans are splitting the two jobs this year.
Most of the opening session at each convention is devoted to speeches-by host mayors and governors, the chairmen of the national political committees and the keynote speakers.
A showdown on seating of contested delegations may come at the opening session during adoption of the temporary roll, or at the second session, after the permanent chairman's speech, on adoption of the permanent roll of delegates.
the seating of some southern delegates to the Democratic convention may be challenged under a
"loyalty" rule adopted in 1956 and recommended to the 1960 convention by the Democratic National Committee.
That rule requires each state delegation to give assurances that the presidential nominee of the convention will appear on the state's ballot under the Democratic Party label. Some delegates balk at giving that commitment before the platform is adopted and the presidential nominee is chosen.
A contest over credentials may mean a denial of seats to some delegates or a choice between rival delegations from the same state.
After these contests, if any, are settled, adoption of the party platform is the next major item of business. The Democrats will have their quadrennial row between their northern and southern contingents over a civil rights plank.
The Republicans will devote one of their preliminary sessions this year to honoring President Eisenhower and to hearing a speech from him.
After the preliminaries, the convention moves into its climactic stage with nomination of candidates for president. To avoid boring and losing their TV audiences, each party will limit the number and time of nominating speeches and the time for demonstrations.
By hoary tradition, the nominating speech for each candidate is followed by a noisy demonstration in which his followers parade around the hall, waving placards and singing, and trying to give the impression that practically everybody is for their man.
'Annie' Features MacRae Family
The debut of Gordon and Sheila MacRae and their four children in the musical comedy "Annie Get Your Gun," is attracting the largest crowds of the season at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City.
The two motion picture, stage and night club personalities have brought their children to play "Annie's" younger brothers and sisters in the Irving Berlin musical. Shelia MacRae plays the title role and Gordon plays the part of expert circus marksman Frank Butler.
The show is making its second Starlight appearance, having played in 1956. At that time it set the all time Starlight box office record for a one night performance and played seven nights. This time the show will run two weeks, at 8:15 p.m. through Sunday, July 17.
The show opened last Monday night with a near capacity crowd of 7,000 persons. Theatre officials suggested mail order reservations be made for the second week of the performance, when every seat in the house is available on a first come basis.
Last year theatre officials said they received hundreds of letters complaining that MacRae had not sung enough in "Bells Are Ringing." This season producer Richard H. Berger has given him ample opportunity, since in the role of Frank Butler, MacRae sings such Berlin favorites as "The Girl That I Marry," "Show Business," "They Say It's Wonderful," and "Anything You Can Do."
PUZZLE ANSWER
The musical is interspersed with rich comedy scenes, highlighted by the "Honest Injun" attitude of Sitting Bull, played by Starlight favorite Joseph Macaulay.
