Hibbs Tells Anecdotes; Discusses Writing Field
Ben Hibbs, describing himself as "the world's worst introvert," related anecdotes of his life and spoke of aspects of the magazine field last night at the annual dinner sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternities.
Mr. Hibbs recalled the time when he was campus editor of The Daily Kansan and the deans of the schools of law and engineering tried to squelch publication of a story about an assault on the law school by engineering students with stink bombs. However, the chancellor supported Mr. Hibbs and the story was published.
Mr. Hibbs commented that newspapermmen often have trouble adjusting to magazine writing. "I have seen a good many newspapermmen, who try writing magazine articles, fall flat on their faces," he said.
"However, a good many people who write articles for the Saturday Evening Post formerly, were newspapermen," he said.
"The difference is when you are writing for a newspaper you usually write something not over a column. When writing a magazine article you will write at great length."
The Saturday Evening Post is "still essentially a free-lance magazine," he said. "I want to keep it that way."
Mr. Hibbs described the steps followed in selecting manuscripts for publication and stated, "We're proud of the fast service we give to known writers." He added, however, the Post buys from 30 to 50 articles from unknown writers each year.
He also related a story of censorship during W.W. II. He said an article that had been rejected for publication by a censorship board was judged acceptable by Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gen. George Marshall with the deletion of only five lines.

WASHINGTON — (UFI) — The Western powers have decided to suggest that "advisers" from West Germany and Communist East Germany be permitted to attend the proposed big four foreign ministers meeting on Berlin and Germany this spring, high diplomatic sources said today.
West Suggests Germany Advisers
They said this plan to give the two Germanies an advisory role is contained in the allied note expected to be delivered to the Soviet Union next week. They said the formula set forth in the note is that West Germany may be present to advise the British, French and American delegations.
The University of Kansas will receive a $16,790 grant from the National Science Foundation for an eight week summer program for high school chemistry teachers.
KU Gets Teachers' Grant
KU helped pioneer this program two summers ago and the NSF has enlarged it to include grants totaling approximately $800,000 to 54 colleges and universities for 1959 summer programs in "Research Participation for Teacher Training."
Kansas State College and Emporia State Teachers College also received grants for summer work. At K-State work will be done in chemistry and physics while E-State will concentrate on biology.
Ten high school teachers will be appointed by KU as summer research scholars. They will receive stipends of $75 a week plus an allowance of $15 weekly for each dependent and a travel allowance. Prof. Ray Q. Brewster, professor emeritus of chemistry, will be the program director.
