UNFORTUNATE.
Mr. Howe, Editor of the Atchison Globe Expresses His Appreciation of the K. U. Class of Journalism.
In a recent issue of the Atchison Globe, Mr. Ilowe, the editor, has presented the following editorial, which is very interesting and rather amusing:
UNFORTUNATE.
"The class of journalism at the State University will result in only one thing: Making this world harder than ever for editors. When a Young Thing with long hair is graduated from this class, and returns home he will at once begin the writing of impossible articles for his home paper. When they are refused, he will abuse the editor. He will discover that the editor never having been a member of the class in journalism, doesn't know enough to put a barrel right side up for catching rain The editors of Kansas papers, who encourage this piece of foolishness by giving lectures before the class, deserve the criticism they will some day get."
NEWS ITEMS.
Mr. Howe's attitude toward the class of journalism, and the Kansas editors who considered it worth while to address the class, is entirely serious enough. Self-preservation is one of the most important laws of life—but cheer up, Mr. Howe, there is no immediate cause for fear. But by the way, Mr. Howe, did you know that every member of the present class of journalism is also a member of some newspaper staff, and that now and then some of the class STUFF is innocently reprinted in the Atchison Globe.
At the beginning of next term Prof. Lawrence will give a course of lectures on the English drama, exclusive of Shakespeare. This is a new course and is not listed in the catalogue.
In chapel Tuesday morning Dr. Strong made a short address, welcoming the students back to their work and telling how the University had been kept before the public during the holidays. He mentioned the teacher's convention at Topeka,which 109 K.U. students attended. He also commended the county club organizations which gave high school banquets during the holidays. The address was closed with a few brief comments on the national conventions in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and Ann Arbor, which were attended by various members of the faculty.
Ex-Senator Taylor made a very pleasing and interesting talk in chapel Friday morning. His talk was confined to the growth and results of co-education.
MR. WHITMAN'S ADDRESS.
Mr. R. R. Whitman, advertising manager of the the Kansas City Journal, addressed the class of journalism Friday morning upon "The Relation Between the Business and Editorial Ends of a Newspaper." Those who heard Mr. Whitman can easily understand how he holds the position he holds on the Journal. He is a business man through and through and knows what he is talking about. His address was decidedly interesting and unusually thorough and convincing. Mr. Whitman laid especial stress on the value of the opportunities which the business of advertising offers to one about to chose a profession.

REPORT OF THE QUILL CLUB.
The first meeting of the Quill Club since the holidays was well attended and proved to be very interesting. As there was but little business, the time was devoted to the two very enjoyable papers presented by Miss Agnes Unruh and Miss Margaret Lynn.
Miss Unruh's subject was "The School Teacher in Fiction." Her treatment of the different teachers she mentioned was sympathetic and yet concise. The paper had the rare quality of being interesting to the reader who had never been closely associated with those who would be peculiarly interested in the subject because of the nature of their work. Miss Unruh's style is always pleasing and the paper she read received no adverse criticism
Miss Lynn read a college story written in her own college days. It was a very realistic sketch and proved so absorbing that the members of the Club forgot to note criticisms. In order to have any unfavorable comments offered, Miss Lynn was obliged to criticise the paper herself which, as she informed us, was not a story at all but a sketch of a situation and the situation itself did not merit the long account she had given it! No one seemed to question her criticisms, and yet the sketch had proved quite as interesting as a real story and far more true to life than the average story is, in that it left the reader uncertain of the final result of the incidents she had woven together and even unpleasantly conscious that the chief character in the sketch, could not "live happily forever after," however much he deserved such good fortune.
George Nutting, editor of the Senior Annual, has announced his editorial staff. The seniors chosen are Charles L. Edson, Russell Kilgore, C. W. Ashbaugh, Murray Hill, and Misses Ethel Murphy, Florence Forrest, Mary Johnson, Jennie Barrett and Mabel McLaughlin.
TEMPLE OF FRATERNITY.
Ground is Broken for a World's Fair Building which will be Fraternity Headquarters in 1904.
The Temple of Fraternity, which will be one of the most ornate of the small buildings on the World's Fair grounds, is well under way. Ground was broken for this structure some time ago and construction begun. The contractor promises that before snow falls he will have it enclosed, and that when the Fair opens next spring it will be ready for the holding of the elaborate functions which are planned to be given under its roof.
The Temple, which is a modern club house, occupies an advantageous site in almost the exact geographical center of the grounds. It is on the hill across Skinner road east of the main entrance to the Palace of Agriculture, and is immediately south of California's State building. The Temple is being put up with money subscribed by the various fraternal organizations throughout the world. Its furnishings will be elaborate. It will be headquarters for the members of the fraternal organizations when they attend the Fair. September 26 has been set aside as Temple of Fraternity Day,
BAKSET BALL
The Kansas University basketball team defeated the "Mutes" of Olathe last night by a score of 35 to 10. Although the 'Varsity boys won, the "Mutes" put up the better game in passing the ball, but were very weak in throwing goals. The game was interesting and was witnessed by a fair sized crowd.
REGARDING FORENSICS.
Forensics will be returned on Thursday, Janurary 14, 1904, from 9 to 10 a. m. Students are requested to note that until a paper has been called for and re-deposited, no credit is given.
