WHO IS FAIREST?—These 10 women are wondering who among them will represent KU in a national contest to determine the 10 best dressed college women in the United States. They will enter the final judging locally Sunday afternoon, modeling three different outfits. Half the finalists are blond, and half are 5 feet 6, with the tallest being 5 feet 7 and the shortest, 5 feet 3. Seated, l. to r., are Martha Yankey, Wichita

Mental Health Survey Scheduled Begins in Douglas County Monday
The four-week survey, which begins next month, is the first part of a two-year program to develop a ten-year mental health plan for Kansas, said Dr. H. G. Whittington, Director of the Bureau of Community Mental Health Services, Topeka.
THE OBJECT IS TO study mental health service needs and resources, he said.
The bureau is part of the Division of Institutional Management, Topeka, which operates under the State Board of Social Welfare, Topeka.
Working with Dr. Whittington, a psychiatrist, are Stan Mahoney, a clinical psychologist, and G. C. Coniglio, a psychiatric social worker. All are staff members of the Bureau of Community Mental Health Services.
FORTY-FOUR DOUGLAS County organizations have been invited to participate in the survey here. They were chosen to give a cross-section of the community.
At the first session, March 4, information which has been compiled in state offices will be presented to participants. During the survey, local groups and individuals will present information based on their experience and knowledge.
At the end of the survey, a report will be compiled and distributed to organizations participating in the

study, as well as to other interested parties.
DR. WHITTINGTON said he and his colleagues are "very excited about it (the survey): it gives us an opportunity to start at a local level to find out what people need at the local level."
The first session of the survey will include an introduction to the county survey, its purpose and its method. It will also include a presentation of basic data, such as population trends, characteristics of the population and existing mental health services.
Treatment and rehabilitative services will be studied at the second session. This will include delinquency as handled by the police, the court and probation; child maladjustment as treated by school and clinical services; adult emotional disorders treated in counseling and clinical services, and the college community, involving faculty and student needs and services.
PREVENTIVE services will be studied at the third session. This category will include welfare and counseling support for families; day care, disability screening, recreational and vocational-academic counseling services for children, and life-crisis counseling by ministers and physicians.
The fourth session, dealing with special problems, will cover severely ill adults and local hospital facilities for them; alcoholism; mental retardation; the aging and a summary of the survey.
The four sessions will be held each Monday in March from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
DOUGLAS COUNTY has been
chosen as the first county to be surveyed because Lawrence has had a community mental health center for a number of years, and because it is located near Topeka and Kansas City.
Money has been available for the study all year, said Dr. Whittington, but there has been some delay in establishing the guidelines of the study.
President Kennedy, recommending to Congress that mental health services be developed, has stimulated national action in this area.
FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE to all the states for mental health service improvement, but Kansas is one of the first to begin surveying its resources and needs.

Another Saturday, another hike.
In view of the latest fad sweeping across the country — 50-mile endurance walks — the University of Kansas will not be without itsikers again tomorrow.
15 KU Students to Attempt Round Trip Hike to Topeka
Another Saturday, another hike.
Fifteen men from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity are the latest KU stalwarts who will assault the 50-mile walk.
SPOKESMAN FOR the group,
Tom Shortlidge, Park Ridge, Ill.
freshman, said they will begin their
hike about 5 a.m. tomorrow. The
group plans to start at the Holiday
Inn Motel, south of the campus, and
proceed on Highway 59 towards
Topeka for a measured 25 miles
The men will return to Lawrence
via the same route.
SHORTLIDGE SAID the group hopes to complete the hike in 10 hours or less. He said barring unforeseen difficulties most of the men could do this.
The hikers will be accompanied by a mobile unit from radio station KLWN, Lawrence, which will begin broadcasting periodic reports on the walk at 5 a.m.
"We figure on at least one man walking it under 10 hours, no matter what." Shortlidge said.
Shortlidge commented that the endurance walk was in no way a challenge to last Saturday's five KU hikers.
The hikers will be timed by members of their fraternity.
Originally, the group had planned to cover the distance over the Kansas Turnpike, but Shortlidge said turnpike authorities finally decided against it.
Two other students are going to try an endurance test—on bicycles.
