Ad pair visits Madison Avenue
What makes Madison Avenue the center of creative advertising?
Pam Flaton, St. Louis senior, and Gary O'Neal, Overland Park senior, spent a week in the advertising industry's center of gravity finding out how commercials—good and bad—are sold, created, and presented. They attended the annual Inside Advertising/Marketing Week in New York, February 16 to 21.

Any wrong turn and we were done for," she said.
Unlike the slower pace of Kansas, they found most of the

businessmen crass, and very anxious to beat their competition to a client.
Miss Flaton said the atmosphere of Madison Avenue didn't suit her Kansas philosophy in many ways. "The general impression most account executives relayed was that 'you should feel yourself lucky to work for us,'" she said.
