PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1927 Comment Here's to K-State Our Friendly Rivals Friendly feudists, brothers under the skin, worthy opponents, and fellow Kansans: Your friends and fellow members of that other great state institution of learning and football, the University of Kansas, extend greetings to you students of the Kansas State College as we meet again for another gridiron classic. Antagonists though we may be—competing for scholarship, beautiful women, handsome men, economic royalists, erack column wiser-cracks, and Big Six championships, (leaving the fattening of cattle to the Aggies and retaining a crop of lawyers and doctors—no veterinaries—for our use) our rivalry is still friendly. When one of us is the victor, the other feels less saddened by defeat, knowing that the laurels may still remain within the hands of other Kansans. Naturally we hope to be victorious on the football field, and realize that our respective feelings of school rivalry are keen. Nevertheless, "To the victors belong the spoils", and whether celebrating your victory or ours, we're glad to have you with us again. For Sigma Delta Chi: A Handshake and a Hope The campus is host today to a group of men and young men who may be making history. The members of Sigma Delta Chi, alumni and under-graduate, may be a bit embarrassed by being classed as history makers. Like others who have changed the course of events, they are merely doing what they see needs to be done, and doing it in the best way they can under the circumstances. But they are in a likely spot for making history, nevertheless. Here's the situation: For some decades, the professions of medicine and law have had strong national organizations which established their professional standards. The engineers have had their technical societies which served as the medium for exchanging professional views and to some extent for enforcing professional standards. These have all received a legal status, founded on the theory that the public must be protected from quacks, shysters, and incompetent. Meanwhile a good many newspapermen have felt that their occupation, serving as it does in a democracy to present the day by day picture on which the public bases its action, had need of a similar organization. Now there are organizations in the newspaper field. The American Newspaper Publishers Association is a strong group, but it represents primarily the ownership of newspaper properties. The American Society of Newspaper Editors is a going concern, but it includes primarily the news executives of the metropolitan newspapers. The newly organized American Newspaper Guild is affiliated with the C. I. O. and is a purely economic group. There are also organizations of advertising men and of circulation managers. But there is no one organization which represents journalism as a profession. Sigma Delta Chi has within its ranks some eight thousand alumni members, representative of every group in the newspaper and magazine fields. Included also are men in the allied radio, advertising, publicity, and motion picture groups. Here, argue some Sigma Delta Chi members, lies the nucleus of a truly professional organization which will include all those whose business it is to convey information between the various groups of society that type of information which is of interest to human beings as human beings, and not as butchers, bakers, doctors, lawyers, and day laborers; in short, news. As this is written, the action of the current Sigma Delta Chi convention on, this question of professional organization has not been taken. But, if it is not taken this year, it will next, or the next—if not by Sigma Delta Chi, then by some other group. So, here's the handshake of the order for Sigma Delta Chi. If you make history, it's needed. If not, maybe history will take care of itself. Anyhow, we're glad to have you here and hope you enjoy the day. Visiting Editors--- We Salute You. Too When 300 editors meet, you can bet then, will be some warm stories told. Many notables will gather around the Kansas newspaper "roundtables" today to expound the reason why and howfor of Kansas newspapers. Shop talk and old times will probably occupy the minds of the busiest men of Kansas. Kansas' chance for the conference title may even come in for a few words. The Kansas newspaper roundtables have become an annual institutional affair, and every editor who has attended them always anticipates them weeks before hand. Those who have not been here look forward to a new adventure. These editors enjoy being here, and we enjoy having them. Journalism students, embryonic and potential newspaper men and women, are grateful for the acquaintance and association with those who have a wealth of newspaper experience. In short: Editors, We Welcome You. Strange that the nations of the world get around to recognizing Uncle Sam as the outstanding nation only when a crisis exists.

NOW TEAM--- "Beat the Aggies" CHARLTON INSURANCE AGENCY Phone 689 Present Convention of Sigma Delta Chi Is Third at K.U. in 22 Years This fact is not at all strange when one considers that the University of Kansas was the first school to be granted a charter by the Alpha chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, founded at DePauce University, Greencastle and granted one year after the founding of the 'internacy in 1909. By Vigil Mitchell, c.39 The advent of the twenty-second annual convention of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity, on the Campus today, marks the third time that Kansas has played host to the recognized journalism brotherhood of the United States. Joseph Murray, '11, who is now managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, has written an account of the Beta chapter of Sigma Delta Chi at KU, recording the progress of the University group as most important of the undergraduate and alumni chapters in the country. Murray's account traces the birth of the Kansas organization back to the Scoop Club, a fraternal body of journalists organized by Roy Roberts, now managing editor of the Kansas City Star. When the Kansas petition had been approved and negotiations for the charter were finished, the Kansan boys found that they didn't have enough money to send for a representative from DePawu to come and install the new chapter. Murray recalls that the rituals "were for demonstration of one of the prospective members the neophytes proceeded solemly to initiate themselves and each other." Petitioners were all members of the Scoop Club, and all continued to In preparation for National Art Week, students in the department of design are exhibiting part of their work at the National Museum of Music Bell Music company of Lawrence. Insurance Building Exhibit Student Art Included in the exhibition are wood blocks, pottery, weaving, metal work, wood-carving, textile designs, and packages, all of which are practical applications of design principle in industry. The materials and processes used in the industries. be active in both organizations for the next two years. Charter members included: Paul W. Harvey, who was largely responsible for securing the K.U. charter; Edgar Markham; Earl C. Fischer; Homer G. Berger; E. R. Schaffauer; Joseph W. Murray and Ralph C. Hemenway. Other downtown exhibits during the year are planned by the department in addition to the continuous building of the third floor of west Administration. A feature of the exhibit is a competition in the re-styling of the package design of a well-known line of dresses. The designs display the "luxury class" packages for novelies, cosmetics, and candies. The designs for textiles show patterns for silk and cotton dresses and for dress materials and draperies. The packages were made in the classes of Prof. T. D. Jones, who came to the department this year. Crafts and potteries were made under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Whitney, instructor of design, and Prof. Rosemary Ketcham and Arvid Jacobson, assistant instructor of design, were in charge of the textile designs. Members of the state board of reeges are scheduled to hold a meeting on the University campus this morning. The nature of the business to be transacted was not announced. A session of the board is also scheduled here for the morning of the Kansas-Missouri game. Reading through Joe Murray's humorous history, it is possible to get a clear picture of an organization of embryonic newspapermen. In 1919 Kansas had the largest chapter. During that year, nine were initiated. A few years later, he coined "cal." In 1925, William Allen White was elected president of the national In 1926, the K.U. chapter sponsored a gridiron篮房 modelled after the famous newspaper banquets given in Washington every year. At this banquet, Brewsster Morgan delivered six speeches. Invited guests who did not appear were Calvin Coolidge, Sinclair Leinur, William Randolph Hearst, Upton Sinclair, and H. L. Mencken. The latter was In 1927, the national convention was held in Lawrence, and Carl McGee, the man who uncovered the bomb during World War II, was the speaker featured. Paul Masonner, one of the strongest reasons why K.U. is leading the Big Six, will have a special reason for winning the tussle with Kansas State University. Masonner, Paul Servey, 28, president of the Hydrate company in Kansas City, Mo., is coming to the game and bringing with him 36 employees. and H. L. Menken. The latter was detained in Boston because of trouble with the police there. Masoner To Have Double Inspiration in Today's Tilt Regents' Meeting Today Since the founding of the K.U. chapter, it has been ranked at the top of the national organization twice and has always been one of the strongest groups. Alfred M. Lee, a former editor of *The University at Yale*, said once of the University of Kansas chapter, "This department of journalism is turning out more and more big-time journalists every year. The credit goes to such student organizations as Columbia Tech and other departmental clubs." Long Rivalry -from the Jawhawk starting lineup, Boslevace, junior tank, who was in the hospital during the Nebraska game, will be replaced by Dan Rhule, sophomore, who played an outstanding 60 minutes of football against the Cornhuskers. Boslevac, while not yet back in the best of conditions, will be ready to enter the game if needed. (Walik St. Clair) Continued from page 1 K. U. Strong in Line Equally outstanding are Krueger, Beeier, Nordstrom, and Cardarelli in the Kansas State line. For Kansas the offensive work in the backfield will probably fail again on Replogle, Douglass, and Sullivant, with able assistance from Amerine and Divens. Ahead of these backs will be what is possibly the best line in the Big Six, at least from tackle to tackle. Only one regular will be missing Shirk To Start Shirk, last year's outstanding Kansas player, will be in the starting lineup for the first time since he was injured in the Washburn game. Lasi week Shirk showed some of his last brilliance, and Kansas coaches and fans are hoping for sixty minutes of play that will come up to the standard he set last year. If Shirk can come through, the most apparent weakness shown against the Hokkers will be partially remedied. The stadium this afternoon should present a colorful sight with the North Carolina State team by the Kansas cheering section for the first time. Both the Kansas and Kansas State bands will be on hand. The game will start at 2 o'clock. Aggies next "Why Doesn't He Use His Head and Wear a Hat?" In this slogan, the girls of America ask the "no hat wearers" of the nation a frank and fair question. We're awfully busy selling Fall hats but not too busy to pass along a crackerjack slogan that was coined right here in Lawrence by a young lady you know . . . a Miss E. B.
