Journalists Await "M" Day To Move Into New Home
Students of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information are still awaiting "M" day—moving day when the School will enter its new home, old Fowler shops.
If plans, estimates, materials, and work go as scheduled, the completely reconditioned building will be ready for the Journalism school by Homecoming of 1951, Burton W. Marvin, dean, said. The new school will contain: a large lecture hall equipped for audio-visual instruction; a newspaper clipping room where papers from all over the world will be kept on file; a separate University Daily Kansas newsroom; a laboratory room with 30 typewriters for reporting students; and a news broadcasting room separated from the class room by a glass partition so that students may observe actual broadcasting.
Meanwhile journalism classes continue in the 66-year-old building that has housed everything from cadavers to presses. It has been inhabited by medics, pharmacists, chemists, and journalists.
When the century was brand new, the Kansan was printed in Fraser hall. After some shifting, the printing press ended up in its present home which is known as the "shack."
An innovation this year is, as the authors put it, "the first casebook used in the Journalism school." It has been scheduled for publication in the spring of 1951 by Rinehart and company.
The book is a copy reading manual tentatively entitled "A Day on the Copydesk." The authors, Emil L. Teelfell, associate professor of journalism, and Charles G. Pearson, associate professor of journalism, will first case book because all copy in it will illustrate the problems that are encountered by copyreaders.
The book is now being used, in mimeographed form, by Editing I classes. This book does not include a directory of names and addresses which will be in the printed volume.
The directory will enable the student to check on the reporter's accuracy in writing.
The news stories in the workbook have been taken from the Leavenworth Times, the Akron (Ohio) Beacon-Journal, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and the New Orleans States.
Three meetings have already been held at the Journalism school, the high school journalism meeting, the second district of the Kansas Press association, and Editors day. The School is looking forward to more of these meetings to acquaint the country* with what is being done at the University. The School hopes to get its usual excellent speakers for special convocations, and "off the record" talks for the journalism organizations, Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity; Theta Sigma Phi, national fraternity for women in journalism, and Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity.
Many graduates and instructors in the School have become world famous. Among the alumni are, Ben Hibbs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post; Paul Porter, head of the E.C. A. in Greece; Chester Shaw, executive editor of Newsweek magazine; and Merel Thorpe, who was the organizer of the department, past editor of Nation's Business.
Guard House Today Says Police Chief
Always leave someone at the organized houses to guard against thieves while other occupants are attending Homecoming activities; advised Miss Margaret Habein dean of women, and Capt. John Ingalls, acting chief of Police of Lawrence, this week.
Every year the Homecoming activities provide thieves with excellent opportunities to get into organized houses on the campus.
Engineers Go On Field Trip
Fifty-five seniors of the civil engineering department, accompanied by D. D. Haines, associate professor of civil engineering, and T. F. McMahon, assistant professor of civil engineering, left the University at 8 a.m. Thursday to inspect various developments in the Greater Kansas City and Olathe areas.
As guests of the Kansas State Highway commission, the group inspected the paving and grading projects on U.S. highway 50 near Olathe this morning, and the Reno Hotmix plant and rock mine at Turner.
This afternoon, they will visit the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe hump yards at Turner; the Central avenue viaduct in Kansas City, Kan., and the Southwest trafficway in Kansas City. Mo.
The group will return to the campus at 5 p.m. Transportation was furnished by the Kansas State Highway commission.
Speaker Explains Student Fund
The history and purpose of the World Student Service fund was explained to the Y.M.C.A. cabinet Wednesday by Mrs. Isabel Crim Martin, Rocky Mountain regional secretary for the fund.
W. S.S.F. is an international student relief organization which obtains money solely from college students and apportions it to needy students in countries overseas. The money provides food, books, clothing, medical care, and similar items to foreign students.
The fund was started in 1927 by five Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. groups and now has representatives in 44 countries. Its sponsors are the Y.M.-C.A. and Y.W.C.A. Newman club, Hillet foundation, National Student association, United Student Christian council, and various college denominational groups.
Siamese Student Decides KU Foolball Games Are Not Crazy
By LEE SHEPPEARD
Kod Loharjun, College sophomore, from Bangkok, Siam, used to think that 11 men fighting over one ball was "crazy." Now he's a strong Jayhawk rooter.
The past year his interest in football was limited, he said, because he was not familiar with the game. This year he is attending every game and has become a real K.U. fan. The dramatic final quarter of the Colorado game was especially exciting, he said.
Before he came to the United States, Loharjun had heard that American football was a brutal game in which the players were continually getting bones broken. When he saw the game played here, his first impression was that "it was crazy for so many players to fight over one ball."
He explained that rugby, the English form of football, is played in Siam, largely on the schoolgrounds.
However, the principal spectator sport in Siam is soccer, he added. Each of Siam's six universities has a varsity team, and the games draw large crowds. Games are also played with teams from other countries. Many teams are organized outside of the universities, he said.
Before coming to the University of Kansas, Loharjun attended Chuialangkam university in Bangkok and the University of Hong Kong.
Gets Two Grizzlies With a Single Shot
Jackson, Wyo., Oct. 24 (U.P.)- Ronald Bell, Wyoming game and fish supervisor, today verified reports that a Mississippi hunter carted off two grizzlies after firing a single shot.
Dr. Moore came upon a grizzly feeding. He fired. The bear ran into the timber. The doctor followed and found the bruin with his toes curled in the air. Nearby was a larger bear. The bullet passed through the biggest grizzly and almost through the second one.
The Kappa Alpha society, founded Nov. 26, 1825, is the oldest of all Greek letter fraternities to have maintained a continuous existence.
