St. Phone Pink 254 The Ackerson Editor Tells Some Things PROTSCH TAILOR, 717 MASS. STREET. Hon, E. W. Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe, lectured to University students yesterday upon "The Personal Reminiscences of a Newspaper Man." There has not been a more popular lecture delivered in years at K. U. than Mr. Howe's. He made a personal talk about his own newspaper work and he suited his listeners exactly. He began by remarking that it was unfortunate that so many of our "Captains of Industry" and other men with brains could not talk. They are the men who, if they were able to address audiences could tell them something worth while. He referred NO.28. THE SENIOR PLAY. The members of the Senior play committee after due deliberation last fall, declared themselves dissatisfied with the species of plays presented by previous senior classes and decided to write a play of their own upon original lines. After much patient work they are ready at last to announce the results of their efforts The play to be given this year is called "Wip Van Rinkle" being an adaptation of Irving's famous "Rip." The play is of four acts. It is entirely local in color and setting and deals with University life. It is replete with jokes and humorous situations and throughout the play there runs a definite plot, gradually rising in interest as the climax is reached. KANSAS CITY CONCERT. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs Present a Successful Program. A concert was given in Kansas City at the Central High School auditorium last night by the K. U. Glee and Mandolin Clubs. A large audience greeted the K. U. boys and their expectations of a good program were not disappointed Among the numbers most favorably received were Mr. Heim Goldman's mandolin solo, accompanied by Miss Eva Woodward; Prof Hubach's and L. W. Sherer's solos. The solos were especially well received. Three K. U. songs and the K U. yell were features of the eve- ing. Many former K U. stu- (Continued on last page.)

In the base ball game at Emporia last Saturday K. U. lost to the Normals by a score of 7 to 15. The game in the first five innings was a good exhibition of ball, but in the sixth inning K. U. went to pieces and allowed the Normals to pile up six runs. From that time on the game was loosely played. Our boys were strong with the stick but weak in the field. Morgan for Kansas pitched a good game and with better support the outcome would have been different. (Continued on last page.) THE K. U. MANDOLIN CLUB. Continued on last page.) to W. R. Nelson of the Kansas City Star as the most successful newspaper man in the west After twenty-seven years' experience upon one paper, Mr. Howe said that even yet he didn't know when he was writing the right thing. "One mistake that most editors make," said Mr. Howe, "is to remain in their office all the time. They should get out and see people." He said further that newspaper editors quarrel too much—that they only belittle themselves when they parade their differences through their papers. Mr. Howe thinks that the man of today is too much underestimated because people are always looking forward for that ideal fellow who is going to be with us in the fu- The work of the committee this year is a decided departure from the productions of previous classes in that the play is original, with the "roast" element entirely eliminated. The language, names, and bearings of the professors and students introduced into the cast are carefully disguised to conceal identity. The opening scene is laid in the early days of the University when "Wip Van Rinkle" was a student and "Jane Thatcher," the first girl to enter the institution, had been enrolled but a short time. As a result of her presence, Wip becomes involved in a romance which culminates in a sleep of many years' duration. The last acts open with (Continued on last page.) OUR OXFORD SHOES For Men are in.
