In Her Classes The Students Not Only Learn, They Earn
Upon opening a copy of the Saturday Evening Post for Nov. 2, Miss Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism, noticed an article about the Flint Hills of Kansas. Drawn by curiosity, she read below the title. The author was a former pupil, Myra Lockwood Brown.
Mrs. Brown had been a member of Miss Grinstead's first adult education class in El Dorado.
"I remembered that during the class sessions, Mrs. Brown had submitted extensive notes for an article on the Flint Hills." Miss Grinstead said. "It was a thrill to see that she had published the article."
"There are few metropolitan newspapers and magazines which I can pick up in which I don't recognize a by-line as being that of a former MU student," she said.
Miss Grinstead came to KU from the University of Missouri in 1948. For the past nine years she has been teaching adult education classes for University Extension. She is now teaching a class in Kansas City, Mo., and has taught in Wichita, Leavenworth, El Dorgan, and Topeca.
Miss Grinstead said that most of her famous students have been those she taught during her 15 years at Missouri.

"It takes about 15 years to make fame," Miss Grinstead said, "and I can see in my 10th year at KU that there will be those of my classes who will achieve it. In fact, I can spot potential fame in some of my classes now."
Class Earns $200 A Semester
Miss Grinstead writes herself. She has written articles for about 50 different magazines. She spent a summer in Alaska gathering and writing feature articles for the New York Sun.
"During the past 10 semesters in my feature writing class here at KU has earned about $200 each semester selling articles," she said. "So far this year, sales from 10 pieces amounted to $75."
She is the author of a novel, "The High Road," published by Doubleday in 1945. In the past she has worked for such newspapers as the Christian Science Monitor, the Kansas City Star, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Tulsa World.

Twenty-three members of the team of 1927 have so far said that they would be at the reunion of the team Homecoming weekend. Invitations to the reunion were sent out to all team members by the KU Alumni Assn.

Comic Strip Characters Return Jayhawk Visit
Pogo followers may recall that during the Kansas centennial celebration, creator Walt Kelly sent the Jayhawk into the swamplands of Albert the Alligator to convince the doubting Albert that he was a "genuine mythological bird." Through the months of May and June the Jayhawk advertised the centennial by offering Albert proof of his existence.
The Jayhawk told Pogo and his friends how Ray C. Moore, professor of geology at KU, had found Jayhawk fossils in solid Kansas marble.
