ADDRESSES CLASS IN JOURNAL LISM.
LAFAYETTE YOUNG
Des Moines Editor Gives a Plain Talk on Newspaper Work.
Colonel Lafayette Young, publisher of the Des Moines Daily Capital, addressed the class in Journalism at the University of Kansas Friday morning. Mr Young is an old friend of Prof. E.F.Jones of the University who was instrumental in arranging his stop at Lawrence Mr. Young did not address the class upon a set subject, but as he put it gave a "shop talk." He said in part:
"Possibly we should not indicate to you young journalists of the future that there are any troubles ahead in the career of a journalist. A good many newspaper men who have graduated from the school of hard knocks are disposed to make faces at a school of journalism. I am not of that vogue. I so thoroughly believe in education in all lines that I scoff at it in no sense. One who has had to plod all his life can only be envious of those who have the opportunity to learn. I always feel sorry for the young man who has a father who finds it necessary to bribe or otherwise induce him to enter college. The only remedy for such a young man is a bed slat or a barrel stave wielded by a person of sufficient strength. The world belongs to those who have the energy and the nerve to do something. The trouble is so many young journalists want to jump from the bottom to the top without enduring all the trials and vicissitudes and burning of the midnight oil that goes between. Your college education ought to make your ability to work that much superior to the one who has not had it.
"If you have any one in Kansas who will tell you that oil and grease and smut on your arms and face are a disgrace something is wrong with your system of education. Too many college men who enter the newspaper business think they should be managing editor after ninety days' service without going through all the hard knocks that go between. The disposition to avoid labor is too common a thing among young journalists. There never has been a greater demand for young men and women who will make good reporters. Good salaries await young men and women who can make a clear report of an address or public meeting in half a column, giving all the salient points without giving the unnecessary parts.
The public wants the truth. Put it down just as it is. The busy man has not the time to read breezy reports. Learn to know the meaning of words; know enough about public questions of the day, political, religious, social and otherwise, to comprehend what you take back in your notes. Give the news."
"The mistake that the modern reporter makes is that he is anxious to get on the first page in big headlines and in order to do this he misrepresents the facts
Wm. Jewell College canceled the basket ball game to be played there tonight. They allege that their players are sick and not fit for the game. This action on the part of Wm. Jewell has disarranged the plans of our athletic board. As a consequence the trip comprising a week's series of games through Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska has been indefinitely postponed.
BASKET BALL TRIP OEF.
NEBRASKA DEBATE.
Nebraska has finally agreed to a question for debate. Our Council submitted, Resolved: That the interests of the United States no longer demand an appeal to the Monroe Doctrine as a national principle. There were two provisos that this doctrine should not be construed as meaning forcible seizure of South American territory for European debts nor intervention in European fairs, by the United States. Nebraska has accepted af the negative.
Kappa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta entertained its friends at an annual spring party at Pythian hall, Friday evening, January 29. The party was one of the most effective of the year. An oriental scheme of decoration was carried out in detail. The shaded light which came from long string of Japanese lanterns carried from the four corners of the hall to the central chandelier, cast a becoming gloom over the dancers. The balcony looked especially well, done as it was in red, and gave the effect of a Japanese tea garden.
THE THETA SPRING PARTY.
The out of town guests, who were unusually numerous, were as follows: Misses Fassler, Smith, Harrison, Everingham of Topeka; Birdsey, Mills, Cockrell of Pittsourg; Williams, Carkener, Freeman, Field, Sibson, Criley of Kansas City; Critchfield of Oskaloosa; Brown of Independence; Messrs. Lindburg, Hoffman of Pittsburg; Dyer, Byrne, Hoffman, Nelson, Leming of Kansas City; Arthur Wolf, Henry Wolf, Hammalt, King of Topeka; Brown of Independence; Mrs. and Miss Jackman of Minneapolis.
Many letters have been received by the Registrar from various points throughout the state from prospective students. Many students are here already to take up the work next term. Mr. Foster says there will be a good steady increase in the attendance during the spring.
ORGANIZATION OF CADET CORPS.
There is quite a movement among the most enthusiastic members of the National Guard attending the University to start a cadet corps on the hill. There is a provision in the state law permitting such an organization and the boys are heartily in favor of pushing it along. Papers are being circulated to get as many as possible to join voluntarily and a movement is also under foot to substitute it for the freshman physical training work.

A subscriber has kindly handed in the following: All the much discussed problems seem to be nearing solution. Last week a certain Biggs was taken for an anarchist, arrested and fined, all for the offense of shouting Latin phrases on Union Avenue, K.C. Consequently we expect soon to hear the loud assertions of the knockers on the study of dead languages; that they have ultimate and conclusive proof that Latin and Greek should be cut out of the college curriculum.
