At present this is done through the use of monthly news columns which are mailed out to area papers whose editors have agreed to print them.
Walker said that ten of the 20 writers have been successful in contacting their local papers. He said the other ten columnists have not succeeded because, "Their home-town editors are apprehensive of such a program since they think it is simply a propaganda gimmick."
EACH WRITER is given a list of the people from his area, he said,
An area writer will generally send out one column every three weeks, Walker said, however, some editors have written in and asked for four or five columns a month.
to keep in touch with and learn what they are doing.
At the Institute he will give lectures on American politics and constitutionalism in the United States.
Heller has been on the KU faculty since 1948, when he joined the staff as an assistant professor of political science. In 1951 he was appointed associate professor, and
Walker said this column service is not working at full speed but could probably reach this mark if twenty writers would write for two or three papers.
A NATIVE OF Vienna, Heller has not been in his "hometown" for 27 years, since graduating from the University of Vienna. During his leave he will be doing research on the problems of federalism in Austria, West Germany and, perhaps, Switzerland. He will also be associated with the Institute of Advanced Studies in Vienna.
"We've been here 17 years and that's a long time--long enough to make you feel this is home." Francis H. Heller said last night.

became a professor in 1956. He has been associate dean of the college since 1957. In addition to his degree from the University of Vienna, he received his LL.B. and M.A. from the University of Virginia in 1941 and his Ph.D. in 1948.
SELECTED IN 1957 to expand the honors program developed by Dean George Waggoner, Heller became the first academic administrative official in a state university whose principal duties were with gifted students.
Following the close of the spring semester at the Institute of Advanced Studies on June 30, Heller and his family plan to travel through Great Britain, Ireland and Italy. They will return to the United States by ship in mid-August and Heller will resume his duties as associate dean in the fall semester.
"This is our first real vacation and we appreciate this opportunity to travel," Dean Heller said, "but we look forward to coming back to KU next fall."
WE ARE PLANNING to take more applications for area writers in a few weeks, Walker stated, plus applications for students to give talks to their schools about KU during school vacations.
Plans are still being made for the speaking committee, but the board hopes to have it set up by spring vacation. Walker commented.
He said that his group also is working on the promotion and advertisement of the KU Relays Day in the spring.
"Our committee plans to print schedules of the events and mail them to area high school students with invitations to attend," Walker explained. "We also plan to set up an information booth in the Union on that day for the kids who do come up."
Besides the board chairman and twenty writers, the group consists of a six member executive board which holds policy meetings with Walker.
EACH EXECUTIVE BOARD member is in charge of four or five of the columnists and mails out the material which they write.
Bill Porter, Topeka sophomore and executive board member, agreed with Walker in saying the board had not reached its full possibilities vet.
Porter said he believed the columnist series had worked well since all but one of his writers were in contact with papers.
"Ive talked to several of the executive members and they all seem to be having just as good or better luck with their writers too," Porter added.
Duplicate Bridge Tourney To End In National Meet
Four KU students emerged as winners last night in KU's Par Duplicate Bridge Tournament, a portion of the National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament, held at colleges, universities and junior colleges across the nation this week.
Jim Fitzgerald, Sublette junior, and Bill Cunningham, Topeka junior, were the north-south pair and Jim Russell, Coffeyville junior, and Jim Shuwalter, Kansas City, Kan., junior made up the east-west team.
The two pairs defeated nine other pairs in a four-hour contest held in the Jayhawk room of the Kansas Union.
Second-place winners were James Dukelow, Prairie Village graduate student, and Steve Markheim, Brooklyn, N.Y., graduate student of the north-south team and Richard Castle, Ft. Leavenworth junior, and Roger Pearce, Lyons junior of the east-west team.
Scoring was done by a unique system devised by a national panel of bridge experts, including the famed Charles Goren.
Jim Russell, one of KU's winners last year and this year's tournament director, explained that the number of points a pair earns depends on how closely their bids and plays correspond to those prescribed for each hand by the panel.
The hands are previously set up by the panel and each group plays the same hand. They also are scored on how well they do in comparison to the other players.
After playing fourteen hands, the scores are tallied, and the winning pair is announced.
The local tournament was sponsored by the Kansas Union, a member of the Association of College Unions, which is sponsoring the national contest.
