Major Babcock Becomes Commandant of R.O.T.C.
New Military Man Has Had Extensive Foreign
Service
Major Franklin Babcock takes the position as Professor of Military Science and Tactics and Commandant of the Army, with 23 years in the Coast Artillery Corps. His service has taken him to stations in Europe, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Japan.
In 1910 Franklin Babcock fell in with the family tradition and become an officer in the U. S. Army. Starting as a second lieutenant, he was advenced to the ranks of a brigadier general at the end of the World War he was a major, which rank he has held since.
Major Babcock is a graduate of the Army General Staff College at Langues, France, and of the Command and General Staff School at Leaverburn.
In his 25 years' service, Major Babcock has spent three periods totaling nine years in the Inspector General's department, one of the most exacting branches of service. In this connection he was at San Francisco at the Ninth Corps Area headquarters, in the Philippines and at Washington. About 11 years he had both visited stations maintained in fur scattered stations. He comes to Lawrence directly from a tour of duty with troops in Hawaii.
During the War Lieutenant Babcock, later Captain and then Major Babcock, first transferred from his post at St. Barannas, Florida, to take charge of a company at Ft. Meyer Training Camp. Then he went to London, as side-decam to General Bartlett, commanding the AEF. in England. Shortly he joined an artillery brigade and began the training of an artillery battery to see action in France. Later he was in action on the Marne Alpine and in the Meuse-Argonne.
- Major Babcock has two daughters, * Anne and Elizabeth*, whose mother died in 1930. He and his present wife, who was born in New Orleans and spent three years at college, she girls to attend finishing school. Anne, a Smith College sophomore, is on a European tour this summer. Major Mrs. Babcock will leave soon for her home in Palm Beach, and be joined later by Betty.
In a sense Major Babcock is returning home in coming to Kansas. As much of his childhood was spent at Fort Leavenworth.

Money, Equipment, Faculty, and Knowledge Were Lacking When Journalism Started on the Hill
All of these programs will be available to students on their student activity tickets.
From its beginnings in the in past, a past devoid of equipment, of franny, and even a medium of publication, the University Daily Kanman has come to its standards of today. The Kanman of today is a far cry from the Counter and Pastime two of the earliest attempts at journalism on the HILL.
In 1893, when Professor Hopkins came to the University, they were sometimes two publications competing for student circulation, the University Review and the University Courier, which outlasted the rest of the papers.
When work in journalism first began at the University, the University had no printing plant, no newspaper, and no money available. Mr. M. Hipkins, who has seen most of the HIl publication come and go and was the guilding force when the present Kansen started, its journalistic activities were confined a first to reporting for an imaginary pauline Lawrence in Kansas City newspapers.
These publications were issued by individuals or groups of students with no supervision who got treats in any form. These students printed it on their own expense.
Later, a University Association was formed in an attempt to issue a paper which would represent the student body as a whole. The members of the association elected the students of the newspaper board on the basis of personal popularity rather than writing ability.
This board was responsible for getting out the paper, but what usually happens under such circumstances also occurred here. A few did the work while the "many" sat back and resisted for the "few." An improvement over previous publications and methods of publication soon became evident, how.
In 1962, the country began to discuss schools of journalism. The idea was considered by the University administration, and it was decided that the Hill should have such a department if it were possible.
The Chancellor conferred with Henry Allen, Ewing Herbert, and other leading newspapermen of the state, and experimental classes in journalism re

sulted, Professor Hopkins of the English department was put in charge. After a few years Professor Hopkins transferred the entire group of journalism classes to Charles M. Harper present chairman of the Board of Repts, who assisted the assistance of the university secretary. The first step was then to install a printing plant which was done by the alumni under Professor Flint's direction. As the work promised new equipment was brought, new classes in journalism were added to the curriculum. This also became independent of the English department and was soon leading a daily paper instead of a weekly.
We welcome new as well as old students.
While the Kannan holds the lines light as far as the newspapers are concerned, there are other publications which come for their share of prominence. The Jaywalker for example, the first year book of the University was published in 1877 and was known by the Herpetologist. The name smacks
