So far two regularly elected assistants have handled in any material at all. There is plenty of room for some who appeared so enthusiastic to help. The opportunity is certainly given.
Ross, of Michigan, according to press reports, wants an opportunity to prove to Jim Jeffries that Michigan also turns out prize fighters. Thank heaven, Kansas has no ring aspirants but there are a few Sophomores who could whip if strategy counted for anything.
Any time that any one has notices regarding the University, any 'Varsity organizations, any meetings of any kind or alumni news, hand the same to the editor and he will take the responsibility of getting it in the next issue. However, boil them down because the KANSAN is crowded for space. Office in Library building where all are welcome.
In common newspaper parlance to kill a story is to set it out. A story is any article worth a head line or it may be a long local. To set anything out means not to use it after it is set up in type or after it is in the office. Stuff is news of any kind. To hash up a story means
to try to write one, and to rehash a story means to write it over. Old hashed up stuff, which you frequently hear of around a newspaper office, and especially of a rivals paper, means some story that is old and has been run and is not worth the type to set it up, in the speakers judgment.
Some people expect too much in this world and then always "howl" when they get what they want. The editor of this paper was asked the other day if he couldn't stop the Kansas City Star presses and get a certain article set out.
The candidates for the athletic association presented elsewhere in this issue are all representative men and the most loyal students to be found in the university. They will make good officers and are thoroughly capable and conservative.
Have you read the advertisements in today's paper. There are some excellent ones and some big bargains offered. It pays to read the Kansan advertisements because nine times out of ten the people advertising have some special something to offer University people or some special bargain Our advertisers are after your trade. They should have it too.
Last Saturday from eight in the morning until ten at night the editor had stories of all kinds and of all lengths on the Sophomore — Freshman fight. These stories came by messenger, special delivery letters; and some writers wanted their manuscripts taken by telephone. Consequently some newspaper aspirants were probably a little disappointed not to see their pieces appear. Frequently similar cases occur. If your article is not "run" it is, as a rule,' because there is some other story on the same subject already in ahead of yours, or there is some story with more value as a news item and the KANSAN is limited in space. Every issue we have three or four columns more set up than we can use. However, there is plenty of room for you as a reporter and the thing to do is to get an assignment or a territory and then a large majority of your "stuff" will be in.

Washburn is coming out of the tallow dip sea. The last edition of the Review conveys the startling report that "there are electric lights in the dining room at Hartford, the Washburn dormitory."
The gastronomic department is not the only one that has been improved. "Law school headquarters have undergone some radical changes during vacation. We now have two large class rooms, another window (!), and plenty of reading room in the library." Whooper up Washburn.
Nicolson & Hand, excellent livery, Phone 139.
The riotous existence led by the Baker students has never been better shown than by the following breathless information from the "Baker Orange." "Dr. Murlin has recovered from the effects of the reception." Wonder if Doc's punch had a spike in it?
The Baker Orange is planning a jollification meeting and as a starter of the man, modern and new improvements of the great Methodist Institution the "Orange" says: "We are pleased to learn that our gymnasium equipment is greatly increased by a three horse power gasoline engine for pumping purposes." Information has gone abroad that the old wooden pump down there will be stored in the archives.
The College Life, gets out a special advertiser's edition. Of course it's all for charity's sake.
"The greatest pleasure of the evening was Miss Pelford's reading, a happy addition indeed." Normal Bulletin.
The Jayhawker, the State Agricultural College paper in its first issue devotes several pages of fine print for describing trips and lands at such distances as Globe Arizona and on the Bay of Fundy.
