University Daily Kansan Presents—
Newspaperman's Life Suits Marv, Trouble Is Just Finding A Job
A map of Kansas dotted with black and white flags hangs on the wall in the room of Marvin Rowlands, Jr., journalism senior. The flags mark towns to which Marvin has written to ask about jobs. "Marv" says he has used black flags to mark the towns from which he received discouraging answers.
On a calendar near by, Marv is marking off the days until the end of this semester when he will be graduated.
As a graduating senior, his major criticism of the University is the English proficiency examination which students in the College, the School of Education, and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information are required to pass before being graduated. He feels that the examination indicates the English department's lack of faith in its own courses.
"They should have no doubt," he said, "that a student who has successfully completed four semesters of English is able to write a passable paper."

Marvin's most deeply rooted conviction seems to be that all women should know how to cook. He says he hates to cook himself although he does bake a pretty good spice cake.
After being graduated from high school in Wellington, Marv served 28 months in the navy as a pharmacist's mate and then immediately entered K.U. in the fall semester of 1946.
His quiet and affable disposition has made him a popular person around the University Daily Kansan newsroom where he has served as assistant managing editor, managing editor, assistant sports editor, sports editor, and summer session editor.
Right now Marv is also active as a justice on the Student court, a member of the Kansan board and Sachem, senior men's honorary society, contributor to the "Sour Owl," and sports editor for the "Jayhawk-er."
A good looking pair of argyle socks bought in Canada this fall while he attended the Inland Daily Press convention in Chicago and the Associated Collegiate Press convention in Detroit has caused Marvin a good deal of trouble. He represented the Kansan at these conventions and has been jokingly accused of having used Kansan funds for the purchase.
Marvin likes Kansas and wants to find a newspaper job which will make it possible for him to stay here.
