China expert outlines journalistic program
By LINDA LOYD and TOM WEINBERG Kansan Staff Writers
Emily Hahn, an expert on China who spent two years as prisoner of war, yesterday called for a three-point program for journalists to obtain news coverage of countries they cannot enter
Addressing 300 students of journalism and East Asian studies in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room, Miss Hahn outlined her program:
- Learn the country's language in order to interview migrating citizens.
- Listen, don't talk, to news sources.
- Exercise discretion in accepting source information.
Although the author-journalist spent nine years in China, she admitted not really knowing what goes on there. "The best source of information about China would probably be Japan," she said.
In China she published a "half-English, half-Chinese magazine" and recalled filling the back of it with articles by Mao-Tse Tung. "It's incredible to believe now," Miss Hahn said, "I wonder what he said?"
In an interview earlier, Miss Hahn related some of her personal views concerning China and Japan.
"The Asian college student in China is given a great deal of importance in public life. They are considered the elite and are looked upon with great awe," she said.
While in China, Miss Hahn was
Negro coed to be queen at K-State
MANHATTAN, Kan. (UPI)— Miss Paula Blair, a senior mathematics major from Coffeyville, yesterday was chosen 1968 homecoming queen at Kansas State University. She is the first Negro to be named queen at K-State.
Miss Blair will be presented a bouquet of roses by Sen. Frank Carlson at pre-game ceremonies of the Kansas-Kansas State football game next Saturday.
Her selection from among five finalists was announced at a noon student rally in front of Seaton Hall.
She will be crowned Saturday night during the intermission of K-State's special homecoming attraction, "Funny Girl."
The New Folk, a musical group, will appear in concert Thursday at the Red Dog Inn.
The New Folk is a religious group sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ International and the Interfraternity Council.

taken prisoner by the Japanese.
"They really didn't hurt me any—they slapped me once, but outside of that they were actually pretty decent to me."
Explaining the fascination for rumors during her internment, Miss Hahn said there was little news available to anyone and people relied on rumors. Experimenting with the game of rumors she started a completely false story and said that within 12 hours it had filtered back.
Miss Hahn earned her B.S. degree in geology at the University of Wisconsin and attended Columbia and Oxford Universities. She went to the Belgian Congo with the Red Cross in 1930-31 and wrote screen plays and scenarios in New York and Hollywood.
Miss Hahn is the author of several books including "China Only Yesterday," "China to Me," "China A to Z" and "Africa to Me."

Does the growing youth market offer a new potential?
Situation: By 1972, 46% of the U.S. population will be under the age of 25. If this is a new market with substantial potential, should we base our product concept on economy or performance characteristics?
Consideration: The under 25 market poses some interesting opportunities. For one, today $142\%$ more young people work toward advanced college degrees than did the youth market of 10 years ago. That would seem to indicate a need for a new car based on economy of purchase and operation.
But, market affluence and the increasing number of multiple car households could indicate that a new vehicle should be developed around high style and high performance.
