Newspapermen Avoid Public Scorn Unlike Most Authors
By Dick West
WASHINGTON—(UPI) One of the main advantages of being in the newspaper business is that you don't have to be around when people are reading what you write.
If any complaints, or compliments,
are forthcoming, you usually hear
about them the next day from your
boss. Getting the reaction second
hand that way provides at least a
modicum of insulation.
This form of torture, which ought to be outlawed as cruel and inhuman punishment, is reserved for misguided souls who write books.
A newspaperman is not obliged to station himself in a public place, while strangers pass by and inspect his handiwork, accepting or rejecting it right before his eyes.
I HAVE JUST GONE through
such an experience and it was enough to cure forever my mild attack of Scribendi Cacoethes, an affiliation which has been isolated and defined as "the itch for writing."
Being innocent in the ways of the book trade, I embarked on my literary venture with a loosely bound set of notions which turned out to be a collection of misconceptions.
For one thing, I harbored the impression that when an author submitted a manuscript for publication, his role in the enterprise was concluded. It is only the beginning.
I will not attempt to relate here all of the agonies that the author undergoes before his precious words finally are compressed between covers. The publication day suffering alone is enough to chill your bones.
Interfraternity Council Changes Rush Rules
The changes are:
The Interfraternity Council has made five changes in its rush rules, Paul Ingemanson, Topeka senior and president of the IFC, said in an interview.
- Next year, there will be six rush dates on the first day of rush week instead of five, and there will be five dates instead of four on the second day.
- "THE PURPOSE HERE," Ingemanson said, "is to get more boys through more houses."
- There will be no group rush functions held from the Sunday before rush week until Wednesday night train-dates.
- A house is no longer required to provide room and board for a rushee who does not pledge and who visits there on the last date.
Ingemanson said this type of pretrain-date has been getting out of hand, and "some houses can't afford it."
"UNIVERSITY HOUSING will be provided for these boys," he said.
- Any boy who goes through rush week and does not pledge, must wait

three days before pledging. Any boy who does not go through rush week, must wait three weeks.
In the past, it has been three weeks in both cases. "This saves the boys who do go through rush, but who can't make a decision then, the problem of finding housing for those three weeks," he said.

- All entering freshman men are eligible for rush.
The IFC also elected four delegates to the National Interfraternity Council this year in Boston from Nov. 31 to Dec. 2.

"The IFC decided to leave it up to the houses themselves whether or not these boys should be pledged."
The delegates are: Neal McCoy, Cedar Vale senior, Roger Schanke, Ottawa junior, Lauren Ward, Ottawa junior, and Ingemansion.
IN THE PAST, only those in the upper 3/4 of their high school class were eligible. Ingemanson said:
Word comes down to the author that it might help the publisher recover part of the printing cost if he showed up at a book store and personally inscribed copies for the patrons of his art.
Each person is born to one possession which outvalues all his others — his last breath.—Mark Twain
The appointed hour finds the poor bloke seated at a table behind a stack of his books and feeling extremely foolish. Business is brisk, only the customers are buying the wrong volumes.
SOON THE AUTHOR's friends and relatives start drifting in. A man never knows how thin, the supply of his friends and relatives is until he writes a book.
JIM'S CAFE 838 Mass. GOOD FOOD DAY and NIGHT
I had the feeling that I was watching my own funeral and that they were my mourners and pall-bearers.
What is worse is to watch the browsers saunter up and casually leaf through your heart's pride while your life's blood drains away. The callousness of book browsers is immense.
Balanced against this shattering ordeal is the faint hope that you might eventually collect some royalties. Whatever the amount might be, it is not worth it. ___
Some return your book to the table as though it were radioactively contaminated. Others walk away with lips curled or noses wrinkled.

Leonard's Standard Service 9th and Indiag
Deadline for Loan Applications Is Dec. 1
Complete Brake Service Minor Tune-ups
The deadline for applications for spring semester scholarships and National Defense Loans is Dec. 1. Completed applications must be on file in the Office of Aids and Awards, 222 Strong Hall, by that date. No late applications will be considered.
Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Funds for spring semester scholarships and Federal Loans are limited, so only a small percentage of those students who have applied or will apply for aids will be successful. Those students counting heavily on assistance from the program for the 1962 spring semester and summer session should be investigating other possible sources of financial aid.
Students expecting difficulty meeting educational expenses should see Robert Billings, director of the Office of Aids and Awards.
Wesley Foundation Will Host Workshop
Forty students from colleges in Kansas and neighboring states will participate in a music and worship workshop Friday evening through Sunday noon at the Wesley Foundation.
Roger Deschner, minister of music at the First Methodist Church of Houston, Tex., will lead the students in discussions of hymns, electronic music, theory and history of worship, concert music and jazz in worship.
The group will form a choir for the weekend, and some of the students will participate in the Sunday morning service at First Methodist Church.
The workshop is open to students of all denominations. Registrations may be made at Viking 3-7151. The cost for the entire weekend is $3, although part-time registrations will be accepted.
