Journalists Should Know
A newspaper man is supposed to know everything.
It is only natural then for the KU operator to refer a question she can't answer to The Daily Kansan news room.
This is what happened March 17 when a man in Topeka called the University to reserve two tickets for Jennie Tourel's concert Tuesday.
A courteous voice at the Kansan office said he would check on the concert. He look up a poster of the concert and found that tickets were downtown.
"Would you like to hold the line while I call Bell's on the other phone?" The Topekan said he would appreciate it.
After several trips back and forth across the news room from one phone to another asking and answering questions, the deal was closed for two seats—best available. The man in the Kansan news room went back to what he was doing—writing a news story.
Sig Alphs To Have Easter Egg Hunt
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will hold an Easter egg hunt for 58 underprivileged Lawrence children Sunday at the chapter house.
The children will range in age from five to 10. The eggs will be hidden in the yard around the house.
"We are having 60 dozen eggs," said Robert Fulton, Arkansas City senior and chairman of the egg hunt, "and we plan to dye and decorate all of them for the children."
Miss Gordon Speaks On James, Flaubert
A comparison of Henry James and Gustave Flaubert, 19th century writers, was given by Miss Caroline Gordon, visiting professor of English, in her weekly lecture Tuesday.
Both James and Flaubert were considered scholars of the novel, she said, but neither received his full fame during his lifetime. She said James has had more prominence in this age than during his own.
3.To Speak In Wichita
Three faculty members will serve on discussion panels at a meeting of the Kansas Teachers of Government at Wichita, Friday and Saturday.
Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, Friday afternoon will discuss "Some Observations on Pragmatism of the Left and Right."
History Students To Hold Discussion
Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education, will discuss "Preparation of High School Teachers in Social Studies." Saturday morning, Alvin H. Schild, associate professor of education, also will be on the panel.
History graduate students will hold a panel discussion on Bismarck's policies and related problems of historical research and writing at 7:00 p.m. Thursday in Room 365 of the Student Union.
Charles E. Weithoner, Carthage, Mo., will be the moderator, and Kurt Gust, Germany, and Gerlof Homan, Lawrence, will be the members. All are graduate students. Refreshments will be served.
All Colleges Should Do It
CLINTON, N.Y. (IP)—A member of the class of 1956 will deliver the main address at the Hamilton College Commencement in June.
"We feel it is most appropriate." President Robert W. McEwen said, "for a student to deliver the address on his last day as an undergraduate. The college class mass of the student talk will match that we have had from our outside speakers."
A committee of five seniors has been named to nominate between three and five seniors for the honor. Nominations from the committee will be submitted to the academic council of the faculty, which will select one of the nominees. The entire faculty will then vote on this candidate.
President McEwen remarked that this college is "unusually suited for this program because of Hamilton's distinctive tradition of public speaking." The undergraduate curriculum includes four years of required public speaking courses for every student.
The world's biggest bean elevator is at Saginaw, Mich.
There are about 25 airplanes flying across the Atlantic Ocean at any given moment.
Ground-squirrels are not true squirrels, and guinea pigs are not pigs. They are rodents.
