Two studies in education at KU are cited for exceptional merit by the U.S. Office of Education's "Analysis of Research in the Teaching of Science, July 1956-57."
Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, and Herbert A. Smith, professor of education, presented a study on the use of sound motion picture films in the teaching of high school biology.

Ike Recommends Civil Rights Law
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— President Eisenhower told Congress today "our first duty" is to enact civil rights legislation that would protect the right to vote "against all encroachment."
In his State of the Union message, Eisenhower again recommended the broad-scale six-point program which failed to win passage last year. In addition, he urged consideration of the recommendations of the civil rights commission.
Civil rights action by Congress would "signal to the world that our government is striving for equality under law for all our people," the president said.
The president told labor and the steel companies the national interest demands that they now work together to avoid any price increase as a result of the new contract.
He promised to encourage labor-management discussions away from the bargaining table to head off marathon industrial disputes like the steel stalemate.
Eisenhower did not propose any new law legislation in his address.
new labor legislation in his address. The president also called for reorganization of the U.S. space program, now lagging behind Russia, through "improvements" in the young space law. He promised details in a later message.

A college professor warns: College cheating is an American Disgrace!
"One-Way Ticket to Kansas: The Autobiography of Frank M. Stahl," will be published by the University of Kansas Press on January 30.
Why is cheating an accepted practice in many of our colleges today? What can we do to stop this scandalous habit? In this week's Saturday Evening Post, a college professor reports:
- about the ingenious ways students cheat.
- how one college official admits "1 out of 3 students cheats rather regularly."
- why many professors know what's going on — but do nothing to stop it.
Be sure to read the explosive report on our "American Disgrace: College Cheating" — in this week's Post.
Mr. Stahl was born in Ohio and came to Kansas before the Civil War. He was later a member of an Army battalion that fought the Indians.
Margaret Whittimore, a native of Topeka, drew upon Mr. Stahl's typewritten notes and onal accounts and has illustrated the book with drawings. She is the author of "Historic Kansas: a Centenary Sketchbook" published by the University of Kansas Press in 1954 during the territorial centennial.

"LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG MORALS" First Little Story
Once upon a time a German exchange student from old Heidelberg came to an American university. He lived in the men's dormitory of the great American university. He was a fine, decent young man and all the other young men in the dormitory of the great American university tried very hard to make friends with him, but, unfortunately, he was so shy that he refused all their invitations to join their bull sessions. After a while his dormitory mates got tired of asking him and so the poor German exchange student, alas, spent every evening alone in his room.
One night while sitting all alone in his room, he smelled the most delicious aroma coming from the room next door. Conquering his shyness, he walked to the room next door and there he saw a bunch of his dormitory mates sitting around and discussing literature, art, culture, and like that. They were all smoking Marlboro cigarettes, which accounts for the delicious aroma smelled by the German exchange student.
Timidly, he entered the room. "Excuse me," he said, "but what is that marvelous smell I smell?"
"It's our good Marlboro cigarettes," cried the men, who were named Fun-loving Ned, Happy Harry, Jolly Jim, and Tol'able David.
So the German exchange student took a Marlboro and enjoyed those better makin's, that finer filter, that smooth, hearty flavor, and soon he was comfortable and easy and lost his shyness.
From that night forward, whenever he smelled the good smell of Mariboro cigarettes, he always went next door and joined the bull session.
MORAL: WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S MEYER
Second Little Story
Once upon a time there was an Indian brave named Walter T. Muskrat who had a squaw named Margaret Giggling Water. Margaret was sort of a mess but she sure could make beaded moccasins. Every day she whipped up a brand-new pair of beaded moccasins for Walter, which were so gorgeous that all the Indian maids on the reservation grew giddy with admiration.
Well, sir, Margaret got pretty tense about all the girls making eyes at Walter and one night they had a terrible quarrel. Walter flew into a rage and slapped her on the wrist, whereupon she started crying like all get-out and went home to her mother and never came back.
"Good riddance!" said Walter, but alas, he soon found out how wrong he was, for the Indian maids were not really interested in him, only in his moccasins, and when he stopped showing up with a new pair every day they quickly gave him the yo-heave-ho. Today he is a broken man, sitting all alone in his tepee and muttering ancient Ute curses.
MORAL: DON'T FIGHT THE HAND THAT BEADS YOU
Third Little Story
Once there was a lion which was a very quiet lion. In fact, the only time it ever made a sound was when it had a toothache. MORAL: WHEN IT PAINS, IT ROARS.

The makers of Marlboro would like to point a moral too: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Try a pack of Marlboros or Marlboro's sister cigarettes—Philip Morris and Alpine—and gain yourself a heap of pleasure.
