Journalism Conference Brings 400 Students
More than 400 high school newspaper and yearbook staff members attended the 41st annual High School Journalism Conference at KU today.
The Kansas State High School Activities Assn. sponsors the conference in cooperation with the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and University Extension.
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism moderated a student yearbook panel with participants from Emporia, Louisburg and Oskalaosa.
Production Opens Tonight
"Everything's going my way," could be the theme of Charles Kephart, director of Experimental Theatre's staged reading production of Sean O'Casey's "Pictures in the Hallway."
No calamities occurred at the next to the last dress rehearsal Tuesday night. No leading readers became ill nor did the lighting mechanism go on the blink.
Irish Atmosphere
Swarthout Recital Hall acquired an Irish atmosphere as the cast members filed in to rehearsal dressed in brown and green tweeds.
They greeted one another accordingly: "Top of the evening to you," one student improvised.
A tape recorder spun out the solo flute's alternately melancholy and litting Irish folk songs in the midst of thuds and crashes as stage props were set up. The flute melodies will connect scenes.
Crafton as O'Casey
Allen Crafton, professor of speech,
stalked out on the stage to show
off the multi-colored robe he found
to wear as narrator.
Prof. Crafton, who was head of the speech and dramatic arts department from 1923 to 1956, will symbolize the old Sean O'Casey seeing the life of young Sean O'Casey unfolding again on stage.
The reading will open at 8 p.m. tonight and run through Saturday. Tickets are still on sale at the theater box office. Students will be charged 50 cents since seating is limited in the recital hall.
Building Predicted
(Continued from Page 1)
(Continued from Page 1) on what they considered "other" sources in their majority report, it has been assumed they were referring to a 15 million dollar state treasury surplus.
Under a minority report turned in by board member George Collins, Wichita, the program would be financed solely from the E.B.F.
More Time Required
Under the minority proposal, Mr. Bradney estimated that three additional years would be required to complete the program.
Collins, on the other hand, contends the minority proposal would take only an additional 15 months
The building program is designed to meet an expected enrollment surge at state institutions in 1962. The date the majority report set for completion of their program is 1964.
Three major KU building projects are included in the $11,891,000 building appropriation the board is seeking. They are: an addition to the university power plant, costing $600,000; a new engineering building, costing $1,900,000, and a Watson Library addition, costing $1,800,000.

Calder M. Pickett, associate professor of journalism, moderated the newspaper panel, composed of students from Lawrence, Topeka and Silver Lake.
Prof. Pickett said better balance and symmetry, coupled with lively interesting, and accurate headlines attract newspaper readers.
"Then sharp, crisp writing will hold their attention," he said.
Students attending the newspaper section heard discussions on editing headlines and makeup, promotion and circulation, the editorial page selling advertising and sports news
Melvin Mencher, assistant professor of journalism and faculty adviser to the Daily Kansan, urged high school editorial writers to campaign and crusade.
"That's your job as newspapermen. Your readers should know what is going on in their community. But you must precede any editorial campaign with complete and accurate news stories on the matter you plan to crusade about."
The yearbook section was devoted to planning, selling, developing themes, selling advertising, writing live copy and telling the story with pictures.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Federal Community Facilities Administration today approved loans totaling $750,000 to two Kansas colleges for the construction of dormitories.
Both sections were combined for discussion on budgets and photography.
Kansas Colleges Awarded Loans
Sacred Heart College of Wichita received $500,000 for a dormitory to house 108 women students. Kansas State Teacher College, Emporia, received $250,000 to help finance a dormitory to house 156 women students. The college will add $235,000 to the federal money to construct the building.
Applications for managing editor of The Kansas Engineer are being accepted by the engineering council.
Engineers' Magazine Editorship Open
Applications should be turned in to 111 Marvin Hall before 5 p.m. October 14.
British Vote May Go Conservative
LONDON — (UPI) — Britons went briskly to the polls in bright autumn weather today to choose a new House of Commons in one of the most tense general elections in years.
Public opinion straw polls showed a sharp, last minute swing in favor of Prime Minister Harold Macmilan's Conservative party, and Macmillan himself expressed confidence as he cast his ballot.
The early turnout was reported high and although an early morning fog reduced voting in some areas, other districts reported "voting is heavier than ever before."
Labor Party Secretary Morgan Philips was another early voter.
"Things look very good," Philips said. "The workers are voting early. If this continues throughout the day we shall have every reason to be satisfied with the result."
At Woodford in Essex, where Sir Winston Churchill is defending his seat against Laborite A. C. Latham, all indications were of a heavy poll from the moment the booths opened.
Presbyterians Will Hold Hamburger Fry
With prayers for no more rain, the United Presbyterian Men are planning an outdoor hamburger fry.
Members of the group will meet at 6 tonight in the back yard of the United Presbyterian Center if the ground is not saturated from rain. Dean George R. Waggoner of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will talk to the group on "Grades and Grading."
If rain soaks the back yard, the men will hear Dean Waggoner and eat hamburgers inside the center.
CORE IS A REGISTERED TRADE-MARK, COPYRIGHT 1987 THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
They kept warning me this would happen if I didn't think of some super way to describe that absolutely unique good taste of Coca-Cola. So who's a Shakespeare? So no ad . . . that's bad! But, there's always Coke . . . and that's good!
