In response to a question about the Journal's audience, Mr. Levine said that JSMVASA was probably more accessible to students than most scholarly publications. "American Studies is an interdisciplinary field," he said, "and when you write for readers who are not specialists in your area, you have to communicate. When the American historian has something to say to the American Literature specialist, for example, he sends it to us, and it is liable to be of fairly general interest."
The next issue will be devoted to the Kansas Centennial. To be published in the fall of 1961, it will carry articles by Prof. James C. Malin of the history department, Prof. J N. Carman of the Romance languages department, Robert Dykstra of Iowa State, and Kenneth J. LaBudde of the University of Kansas City. The topics cover Kansas culture, history, art and legend. Prof. Dykstra's paper is on the Wild Bill Hickok legend; he attempts to find the facts on which the fabulous Hickok stories are based.
BESIDES MR. LEVINE, the staff of the Journal includes Professor Edward F. Grier, associate professor of English and the major in American Civilization at KU, chairman of the editorial board; Father Martin F. Hasting, S.J., Professor of History and Dean of the College of Saint Louis University, Reader in History; Prof. Harry M. Campbell, chairman of the department of English and foreign languages at Oklahoma State University, Reader in Literature; Professor Kenneth LaBudde, Director of Libraries at the University of Kansas City, Reader in the Arts; and Professor Wayne Wheeler, Director of the Kansas City Study of Adult Life of the University of Chicago and visiting lecturer in Sociology at KU this year, Reader in Social Sciences.

Echoing upon my soul
With the screech of uselessness

And I must live,
Lest my temple rot and fall.

—The U.S. Army said a civilian employee stretched his usual two-hour guard shift to 22 hours and warded off would-be relievers with his rifle until he grew too tired to resist.
The unidentified employee was hospitalized for psychiatric examination.

One of the best investments you'll ever make...
You know what you invest in advanced ROTC . two years of classroom time and outside study.
But just see how handsomely your investment pays off.
First and foremost, there's the proud moment in Graduation Week when the gold bars of a Second Lieutenant are pinned on your Army uniform . . . and deep inside the warm sense of accomplishment at having made it.
There's immediate help in meeting expenses
...a subsistence allowance of $535 for the two-year advanced ROTC course. Uniforms and military textbooks paid for. $117 for your six-week summer camp training, plus travel allowance. And when you're commissioned, a $300 uniform allowance.
You discharge your military obligation with the traditional rank, pay, privileges and responsibilities of an officer in the United States Army.
And later, when you're starting your climb
Talk with the Professor of Military Science at your school. Learn more about advanced ROTC. Ask particularly about the ROTC course in Leadership, with its practical experience in command responsibilities.
up the civilian ladder, advanced ROTC will still be paying off. Success in the executive areas of business and industry comes earlier and more substantially to the man who can lead. Few are born leaders; but leadership can be learned. And advanced ROTC is a great place to learn it.
