AUSTIN, Tex. (AP)-AdMts haven't a monopoly on worries for high school students reported 12,386 individual ones to two Unl- versity of Texas educators.
 Prof. A. L. Chapman and H. Wilson Little made nationwide survey of 3,707 schools to deter mine what subjects cause stu dents to worry. Among the 12,- 386 individual worries that were reported, these were the most troublesome: Social relationships; home life and personality prob lens.
 Getting along with their fellow students seemed the most impor- tant problem while the boys and girls both revealed they become greatly concerned over disagree ments between themselves and parents and over family conflicts due to jealousy and partiality.

ASSORTED ITEMS FROM HEAVEN

HAWTHORNE FIELD, s. C. (AP)-Its not an uncommon thing hereabouts for a hunter in the woods, fisherman in the swamp or a plowman in the fields to pick up a pair of sunglasseS, a fountain pen or love letter from girl in Oshkosh.
 It's all because a thoughtless flying cadet forgets to button his flying suit pocket before he goes up for a bit of acrobatic flying. When he rolls his plane over he suddenly realizes that things fall up" and out of his pocket.
 Officials at Hawthorne Field estimate conservatively that the value of such objects lost runs close to $500. A poll indicates the most frequently lost objects are sunglasses, pencils and fountain pens.
