Press, Printers Have Grown With The Kansar
From the time when the first University Daily Kansan was published years ago, the press room has made steady advances in securing modern equipment and additional personnel.
The Kansan office, which was originally in the basement of Fraser hall, was moved to the present Journalism building early in 1912. At that time the University added two inotype machines to supplement the neager equipment which was used for the first issue.
The type for the first Kansan was set by hand by student printers. The forms were locked, loaded into a buggy, and hauled downtown where they were printed.
In 1925 a Duplex printing press was added to the equipment in the press room. Four linotype machines and many cases of type are available for use in today's issue of the Kansan.
At the time of the first Kansan three men were employed, two to set the advertisements, and one to run the linotype. Working on the Kansan today are four full-time employees, and 13 part-time student employees.
Shop foreman when the Kansan began was Guy M. Pennock; he has seen every issue of the paper since that time. Mr. Pennock, still a foreman, is the oldest employee from the point of service.
Looking back to the Kansan as it was 35 years ago, Mr. Pennock recalled that "we always had plenty of copy, and the editorials were a day ahead of schedule. We've come a long way, however, since the day when we had very little equipment."
Second in line from point of service is Ned Barnes who has been a Kansas pressman since 1919. It was during his tenure that the old cylinder press was discarded and the Dunlex installed.
Raymond McCabe has been with the Kansan for two years, coming from the Lawrence Journal-World. He is in charge of the Kansan composing and supervises makeup and typesetting for the newspaper.
Theodore Gray came to the Kansas in 1940 and is now assistant makeup man and advertising compositor. Mr. Gray is a graduate of KU., and expects to work on his master's degree beginning next semester.
Other press room employees directly connected with the University Daily Kansan include T. C. Ryther, director of the University of Kansas Press and students working parttime in the publication of the newspaper. Mr. Ryther worked on the paper as a student from 1922 until 1926, and returned to the University in 1928 to work on his master's degree.
Students working in the press or composing rooms of the Kansan include John G. Campbell, Leonard C. Fields, John D. Glenn, Harlan Lill, Adrea Hinkel, Kenneth Morrow, Ruby Olson, Duane Postlethwaite, William T. Smith, Edith Stodard, Orin Strobel, and Paul Zeh.
Scandinavian Club
To Include More Members
The Swedish club became the Scandinavian club at a meeting in Battenfeld hall at Tuesday night.
The change was made to include students attending the University from all the Scandinavian countries, as well as other students who are interested.
The next meeting will be held between semesters and all members are asked to come and bring prospective members.

COEDS' CORNER
Meet Miss Scroggy, Miller Hall's Most 'Haphazard' Student Cook
"Gee, the things I have done in the Miller hall kitchen," exclaimed Dorothy Scroggy, College sophomore, from Wichita. "I'm a very haphazard cook. I just put things together and hope they come out all right."
At the present time, she is kitchen head of her group, a position which lasts for five weeks. Her job is to plan the menu, call the grocer every morning, and put out the milk bot-cles every day. She said it makes her feel "real domestic." Delegates Report
"Besides being a haphazzard cook, I have the reputation of always falling down," she added. "I fall upstairs and out of double deck beds, but not once did I fall down outdoors when it was slick. When I get inside—that's a different story."
As a University cheerleader, "Scroggy's" face is familiar to nearly every student on the Hill.
She was co-chairman of the publicity committee of the Sophomore Slobbovian Stomp, is on the social committee at Miller hall, and a member of Kappa Phi. She also plays on the Miller hall basketball team. She participated in the student-faculty conference last spring and was on the freshman dance committee.
"I guess I'm a radical," she remarked, "but I'm very interested in Western Civilization." Her speech on it in the campus speaking contest last year took her to the finals.
This interest has brought her to a temporary decision" on her marriage. She is connected with human relations, perhaps sociology or political science.
She is one of the persons who finds, when being introduced by her best friends, that they just can't recall her first name.
"Everyone always calls me 'Scroggy.'" she explained. "People are always inquiring as to where I got such a peculiar nickname, and I have to explain that it is really my name."
According to the dictionary scrogy means thorny or stunted. Neither applies to the attractive head cook at Miller.
Constitution Ratified By Women's Council
The constitution of the United Women's council was ratified Tuesday. The purpose of the organization is to co-ordinate women's social and scholastic affairs and to promote a better feeling between Greek and Independent women.
Officers, consisting of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and two senior council members, will be elected in the spring semester. Representatives will be elected both during the fall and spring semesters as the organization sees fit.
