Three Leaders Return For Writers' Course
Three of last year's writing leaders will return to the eighth KU Writers' Conference June 24 to 27.
Returning are Elizabeth Gregg Patterson, Ann Arbor, Mich., short story leader; Virginia Scott Miner, Kansas City, Mo., poetry and light verse, and Bob Wormington, of WDAF-TV television writing. The other two categories are juvenile writing and non-fiction
Sales were made of writing submitted in all five categories in last year's conference, according to Miss Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism, who is directing the writing short course for her sixth year. The largest sale was made by Dr. Ray Lawless, chairman of English at Kansas City Junior College, who received $400 for an article from Ford Times.
Non-fiction leader this year is Dr. Paul M. Angle, director of the Chicago Historical Society, who is well known for his histories and compilations of Early American and Lincoln documents.
Dr. Angle will also give a Convocation address at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 26, in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. His subject, "This Our History: By Those Who Were There," is related to his most recent book, to be published by Rand Mnally in the fall. The public is

Juvenile writing leader this year is Francis Kroll of Crawford, Neb., author of four titles in the Lantern Press Young Heroes series.

Workshop sessions of the conference are being held in the library of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, where most of the enrollees will be housed. About 40 will attend.
KU Has Power Failure
Enrollment is still open for the conference. Dana Leibengood, representative for University Extension, will accept reservations either for the dinner or for enrollment. Manuscripts are to be sent to Miss Grinstead at 203 Flint Hall.
Electricity failed at KU Sunday evening when a KP&L lead-in cable at the campus power station burned. The campus was dark for about three hours before the campus power plant could be put in full operation again.

Executives Eat, Sleep Live Their Course
Executives attending the fourth annual Executive Development Program finished their first week of the 5-week course Friday and now have a good idea of what it means to cram the equivalent of 35 college hours into a short summer session.
The course is designed to give promising business executives a broad exposure to the field of management and to afford them the opportunity to develop as executives. The class is made up of businessmen from all parts of the country who live together at Grace Pearson Hall and attend classes at the Kansas Union.
The "back-to-school" program came in response to demands of business and industrial leaders of the midwest that a course be set up that would train key men in industry to advance in the field of management.
As chairman of the teaching department he will assume the administrative duties of Dr. Klaus Berger, professor of art history, who will continue as a full time teacher. Dr. Berger has in recent years had frequent opportunities for research in Europe and this summer will be on the continent with financial assistance from the American Council of Learned Societies.
Dean James R. Surface of the School of Business, heads the school. W. Keith Weltm, professor of business administration, is the active director and Martin Jones, associate professor of business administration is the assistant director.
Dr. Maser, who came to KU as museum director and instructor in 1953, holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He was a teacher at both Chicago and Northwestern Universities before coming here.
Edward A. Maser, director of the Museum of Art and assistant professor of art history, has been named chairman of the art history department.

The executives are sent to the school by their companies which think they have the ability to develop and take on more responsible management positions. The average age of those enrolled this year is 42 years.
The executives "eat, sleep and live" the course from the first day until it closes July 11. They start their busy day at 8:10 a.m. and with the exception of a mid-morning coffee break they are in class until noon. During the morning heavy emphasis is put on the case method of studying. Actual problems in management are discussed and studied with little lecturing by faculty and visiting speakers.
"This course is not designed for specialists." Prof. Weltmer said, "but rather we use the case method of study and discussion for the purpose of broadening the executives perspective and show them how the various elements of business administration are interrelated."
Today clear to partly cloudy with widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms west. Little change in temperature. High today 75 to 85.
The group lunches together at the Union and they hear talks by honorary lecturers, usually faculty members from other schools on the campus.
The class is back in session until 4 p.m. when they break for a relaxation and recreation period. They have dinner together and the evening is spent in individual study or in informal discussions.
The course draws executives from all parts of the country and from many of the leading industries.

Carney, associate professor of music education, will also start today. The art, theatre and ballet divisions of the camp have completed their preliminary arrangements and have begun work.

The third Science and Mathematics Camp also began Monday.
It will provide basic familiarization and laboratory experience in 16 science departments to 83 high school students.
The camp will also have an apprenticeship program in which 15 of the outstanding students from the 1957 camp will be given 4-week apprenticeships, with pay, to work on full scale University research projects under the direction of senior faculty.
