Nearly 400 students and teachers attending Kansas' twentieth annual High School Journalism conference at their meetings Friday and Saturday.
NUMBER 19.
"One cannot read too widely or too well," advised Miss Nell Snead, woman's page editor of the Kansas City Star, at the press banquet in the Memorial Union building Friday evening. Miss Snead told her listeners that, to prepare for a successful newspaper career, one should become entirely familiar with fiction, history, poetry and drama.
She related several interesting personal episodes to illustrate the work of a woman correspondent. Glenn Cunningham, described foreign newspapers; Jack Dalby, fa 40, performed feats of magic; and the Modern Choir supplemented the prose works of William Gibson; Jim Johnston, c 40, president of the K. U., press club, was tomosher of the evening.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley greeted the students at a general session Friday afternoon and commended the profession of journalism as one of the best professions, helping the student in alertness, and developing powers of observation.
Head of the research bureau of Look magazine, Vernon Meyers, described to the Friday afternoon assembly three "picture revolutions"—wire photo, reader interest in newspaper pictures, and birth of picture magazines—which have influenced journalism in the past 10 years.
Two other featured speakers of the conference were Miss Mary Smith, reporter of the Topeka State Journal, and Gene Kemper, Topeka Daily Capital sports editor. Miss Smith told about the painstaking throughness demanded of good reporters, and Kemper lauded the sports section of a newspaper as being important to the audience, having a free journalistic style.
In conjunction with the two-day meet, the Kansas Council of Teachers of Journalism met and elected officers for the coming year. They are: president, Marian L. Dexter, Paula; vice president, Arthur E. Goodwin, Meriam; secretary-treasurer, Annie P. Hopkins, Chamman.
Tom Yoe, c'39, and Fred Littcoy, b'39, editor and business manager of the Jayhawk, led a round table discussion of the problems of the school annual. Orval C. Husted, printing and journalism instructor from Sand Springs, Oklahoma, spoke to a general assembly Friday morning of the topic, "I Saw It in the Paper."
H. L. Smith, of the department of journalism, spoke on "Reporting Europe," and members of the University journalism faculty led several forum meetings. Friday afternoon, tea was served in the "Sky Parlor" of the Journalism building under the supervision of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalistic sorority.

DAVE SHIKR . . . social hermit at the Kappa Sig house, had been on the Hill three years before he ever entered the p rtals of a soirée house. He emerged from his hermitage last week. He recovered all of them. Reason: Football-player Shirk represents the Beech-Nut company and goes about giving away samples of chewing gum.
DOROTHY JEAN RUSSELL . . . standing behind the microphone in front of Louie Kuhn's band, gets more attention from the "men-basis" than any other vocalist ground these parts in years. She completely likes being accompanied, time talents—especially when grown in strapless velvet and ermine cream. Wow!

Name Wood Dance Manager
New Man Experienced With Bands, Musicians In Past Years
Don Wood, b'39, was selected from a field of eight candidates for the University dance management yesterday morning by a special committee composed of Men's Student Henry Werner, adviser to men.
"Wood's appointment is not official, however," C. H. Muller, c'39, chairman of the committee, announced. "His eligibility must first be demonstrated to the head of the eligibility committee. This will be done Monday morning."
The committee conducted personal interviews with each applicant and auditioned his speaking voice over the public address system in the Memorial Union building.
This is not the first time that Doo Woods has been called upon to choose and book bands for dances; he has had experience with the work during past years in Kansas City. He has managed his own dance orchestra and for two years played on piano in Europe playing on ocean liners. At present he is pianist and arranger for the Modern Choir.
The selection of dance manager has been long delayed this year. Complications arose in the Student Council's methods of nominating persons who might try out for the position. According to Council statutes, five persons are to be designated by the Council and one of them is appointed as special counsel. But, following a precedent of former years, the competition was finally opened to any student who desired the position.
Members of the Council committee are: C. H. Mullen, c39; chairman; Bob C. Hulsen, c40; Lester Kappel-Thorpe, c40; Caitlin, c40; and Mr. Henry Werner.

WASHBURN GAME NOTES
thusiasm for the Oklahoma game the following day.
Immediately after a rally around the huge bonfire the students will partake of free refreshments and then rush to the theatres.
The officials were alert in catching Kanas piling on, and roughing the passer, but time after time Washburn immanuel hit the ball, which all AlRalph got was a headache. One time Brady
Early Tradition
By Bill Fitzgerald, c. 29
After two successive plays in the first quarter had accounted for Shirk and Crowell through injuries, Sullivant was banished by the new play with his arm with a doubled up. It seems he didn’t appreciate the Washburn player who kicked him after he was down. Before the game had gone very long it began to appear that there was either something very rotten in Denmark or else the wind was blowing in from Topeka.
Kansas lost more men in the Washburn game last year than did all the rest of the season, Dave Shirk, star end, was lost for four of the season last year Brady, Washburn back, helped him from behind as a play was over and almost forgotten about. That game went on to be the roughest of the season. If Kansas has another game that rough this season, the student hospital will have to be enlarged.

and Hall for great work in the Jayhawk backfield. Fred Boslevice was rushing the Washburn passers hard on every play and he was ably supported by Shilanick, Crowell,
reached out and tripped Burge on and end run, a foul that was very evident in the press box but the official leaped over the fallen Burge to follow the play down the field. At that, the colored Ichabod star played back the ball, as game on the field, and received an ovation when he left the field.
Miller's passing was perfect all afternoon and his catch of that first touchdown pass in the end zone left the specators gasping. Bill Bunsen was the real Washburn headache all afternoon. Elmer Holm must have hated to see Bill carry the ball. After catching one of many passes Bunsen aimed himself at three Washburn backs, but they conveniently disappeared before the big fullback could run over them. They finally got rid of him through the old reliable injury route.
Andrews, Warren, Jenkins, Lehart, Massare, Renko, Merkel and Wenstrand among other in the line Emmot, Owen, Brady, Cables, Massey and Money played well for Washburn.
Jack Nessley and his cheerleaders and the Kansas card section made an impressive sight at the half. The Kansas section looked very colorful anyway. Some of the boys and gals did themselves with loud colored shirts and stuff. . . One Washburn rooter put on a show by himself in the west stadium. After shaking the ball, he ran up to the seat of the stadium; he took a nose dive and nearly fell out of the stadium. He finally wobbled out of the stands to a mingled chorus of cheers and jeers that didn't bother him at all. We imagine he feels differently about the whole thing this morning.
The loss of Ed Hall is a real blow to the Kansas squad. Hall a siphomore, was developing into a real back. It means Bunsen will have a double load to carry. He should get some help from Meier, senior back, who flipped these two neat touch-down passes, and played a whale of a defensive game.
The annual nightshirt parade is one of the oldest University traditions. When the news of a Kansas victory in the first game of the 1902 season reached Lawrence, a mob of rooters rushed to the residence of Chancellor Frank Strong. The chancellor had already retired, but, at the requests of the students, he appeared on the balcony in his nightshirt and expressed his happiness at the outcome of the game. Adopting an attitude of "what's good enough for you," the students donned their nightshirts and paraded the streets of Lawrence until the early hours of the morning. The participants in the frolic had such a good time that it was decided to make the parade an annual affair.
Students Return Ducking
During the early years of the parades it was almost an annual occurrence to have some of the students either appropriate one of the street cars or put some of the cars out of commission. In 1913 the Jayhawk pep makers, having "crashed" a theatre and viewed the show, commanded a car. On the return trip from Haskell to New York, a morning crowd entered into the car burns, where employees turned the hose on to the students to dampen their spirits. Undaunted, the night-suit clad men captured the hose and returned the ducking.
In post-war years the merchants passed out a tempting array of cannery, sandwiches, near-beer, and candy shops. They didn't rally rulers. Refreshments of cider and apples have been the rule the last few years.
Roughest Grid Tilt Seen Here In Years
Three Players Banished From Game as Kansas Runs Up Largest Score Since 1923; Miller Completes 10 Out of 12 Passes for 237 Yards as Team Scores Eight Touchdowns Via Airway
By Lester Kappelman, c'39
Jav Simon, c'uncl
With Ralph Miller throwing strikes all afternoon, a "fighting" Jayhawk football squad smothered Washburn, 58 to 14, in Memorial Stadium yesterday before a crowd of 7,000. It was one of the roughest grid contests ever witnessed on Mt. Oreade. Three players were banished from the game and the referee twice stepped off 15 or more yards for unnecessary roughness. The score was the largest made by n Kansas team since 1923, and the second largest ever made.

quarter and will be lost to the team for the rest of the year.
After receiving the opening kick-off, Washburn by the aid of a "sleeper" pass, put the ball in scoring position. But the Kanaas line diffined and after an exchange of balls, Jawyker attack got until way.
Miller shot a short pass to Max Replogle to the 41 and then they reversed the procedure with Replogle flipping a long one to Miller in the end zone for the first Jawkower touchdown. Little Cherie Globe rushed into the game for the low, but his drop-kick was low.
Bunsen Goes 55 Yards
The Jawhawkers made their second scoring thrust in the same quarter after Warren intercepted a Washburn pass on the Kansas 45. Miller promptly heaved a short pass to Brinkley and landed it using a neat change of pace to elude the safety. Replegle's placement run the count to 12 to 0.
Washburn's first counter came after Sullivan started the parade of exiles by being sent from the game for unnecessary roughness. Two trick passes from "Ichabod Ike" helped Washburn reach the goal brought the score to 13 to 7 shortly after the second chukker opened.
Kansas wasted no time in coming back with its third counter. After
