Kansan Reporter's 'Odyssey of a News Story' Is Typical Experience
Kansan reporters spread over the campus this morning like a swarm of inquiring, nosy persons after news. They couldn't help it. It was part of their final examination in Reporting I. Many difficulties were encountered by the cubs, for news was scarse and professional newspapers were engrossed in their own troubles.
One of these reporters decided it would make a good story if he could find how many students are expected here for the summer session starting June 13. The question seemed easy, certainly someone would know.
Dora R. Bryant, assistant dean of women, was approached. Surely she would know how many women students expect. But Mrs. Bryant did not know.
Workers in the Registrar's office found the question amusing. What? they said. Who on earth wants to know how many students will be in summer session? They did suggest seeing Henry Werner, men's student adviser.
Journalism Department Establishes Scholarship
Loan Fund Made Possible by Roy Roberts, Don Mellett Speaker
Establishment of Alumni loan scholarships in journalism was announced today by L. N. Flint, chairman of the department. The Scholarships are made possible through the generosity of Roy Roberts, a former student in the University, now managing editor of the Kansas City Star.
On the occasion of the Don Mellett lecture, which was given at the University by Mr. Roberts, he returned to Professor Flint the stipend provided by the Don Mellett Lectureship committee of New York University. He added an equal amount to it, and this fund is to be used as loan scholarships for majors in the department of journalism
The faculty will meet within a few days to award scholarships for next
MINNESOTA GETS LECTURE
Honorary Journalism Address for 1936
Is Scheduled
The Don Mellett Memorial lectures which was delivered this year by Roy Roberts, manager editor of the Kansas City Star, at a conocation of the 1930s to the department of journalism at the University of Minnesota.
NUMBER 161
The lecture which is given annually, was instituted to perpetuate in the press of America the spirit of the editor of the Canton, Ohio, News, who was assassinated in 1926 by enemies made in his crusade against vice and graft.
To Raze Kappa Sig House
Plans are now being formulated for clearing off the ruins of the Kappa Sigma house at 1437 Tennessee, according to Fred Funk, e34, president of the fraternity. The plans are to be announced near the close of school.
Clearing Away of Structure Destroyed by Fire to Begin Soon
The Kappa Sig house was destroyed by fire on Feb. 16. The fire apparently tinted from an explosion in the basement, and caused damage estimated at $750. The front wall of the building collapsed during a rain storm about a month ago.
Pictures of the two new members of the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame have recently been received at the Kansan office and have been placed along with the other member's pictures in the Journalism building. The members are chosen annually by the vote of Kansas editors under the supervision of Sigma Delta Chi, department of journalism, at the University of Kansas.
The two new members are Moses Milton Beck, founder of the Holton Record in 1875 and since this time a publisher and contributor until the time of his death in 1931, and William Elmer Blackburn, publisher of the Anthony Republic and until 1929, publisher of the Herington Sun.
Following the fire, the members of he fraternity moved to 643 Tennessee street, where they are now housed.
PICTURES OF NEWLY CHOSEN HALL OF FAME MEMBERS HUNG
Clyde Hyder in Hospital
Clyde Hyder, assistant professor of English, is in Lawrence Memorial hospital following an operation. Harold Jenkins, instructor in the English department, will give his quizzes this week.
Caught hurryring about his office, Mr. Werner had to admit that he didn't know the answer. His office couldn't have a check on this matter. He suggested the office of H. E. Chandler, assasinator, to meet sessions "He's the man to tell you."
After storming across the campus to keep one of the other reporters from getting on the trail of his elusive in-formation reporter found Mr Chandler not in.
"Nobody knows," she replied and smiled. "We have many requests for bulletins, but of course these tell nothing, actually. Transcripts are not necessary for enrollment in summer school, and therefore we have no adequate way to estimate the probable number of students."
It wasn't necessary yto wait, the office secretary informed the weary news-seeker. She too was amused by his query.
"Thank you," she said the reporter, "but could you tell me when you will know how many will be here for summer school?" She smiled indulgently to humor him.
And that was the end of the chase.
Evidently nobody knows. Your guest is as good as mine.

The seniors who have completed the competition are: Glenn Cunningham, Clye Coffman, Edwin Hall, Paul Harrington, Phil Beatty, Paul Borel, and Ormand Beach. The services of these men will be greatly missed next year, for they have been consistent pointers which they have participated this season.

The committee to determine the lectures to appear at the University during the coming year met Tuesday afternoon in the Chancellor's office. They compiled a list of persons that they would like to have in the series for next years.
Names on the list are not available at the present time because it is uncertain whether the desired speakers can come. The number of speakers will depend upon the cost of bringing some of the more famous ones to the University. There will probably be four or five speakers during the year.

Fraternity Appeal For Low Appraisal Heard by Officials
County Board Promises to Give Careful Consideration to Discrimination Charges
Fraternities and sororites must wait 10 days to learn the outcome of the appeal made this morning to the Douglas County board of equalization for a reduction in evaluation of property belonging to the organizations. The appeal was made by a committee representing more than half the Greek organizations owning property on the Hill.
The appeal was made in compliance to a formal request from the county, and was the outcome of the heavy appraisal of property belonging to the Greeks, who maintain that more than half of the increase in property evaluations in Lawrence were made upon their holdings.
Increases of from 20 to 38 per cent in actual value over last year's appraisals are reported by the inter-fraternity committee. One fraternity reported an increase of $3,000 over last year's evaluation of $17,000.
C. H. Freak, head of the committee for the Greeks declined to predict the outcome of the petition. "We can make no definite remarks as to what the decision will be. We must wait until the end of the 10 days," he said.
A. B. Mitchell, a member of the committee, stated that the board had been very fair in receiving the claims, and promised a careful consideration of the problem.
Kappa Sigma, social fraternity which lost its house by fire early in the semester, will be required to pay taxes on the land only, which is valued at $2,500. There were no other developments in the tax situation.

Heat of Finals
Finds Sociology Class
Perched on Steps
Braving a stiff breeze from the south that fluttered the pages of quiz books, Prof. C. D. Clark's class in Population Problems in the sociology department moved to the steps at the west entrance of the Administration building to take the final examination this morning. Perched on all conceivable positions, the students on the steps seemed glad of their success and were in room as they wrote industriously with one hand, while the other kept the quiz book pages from blowing in the breeze.
Football Season Ticket Price Lowered by Board
Athletic Group to Extend Seating Limits; Ban Broadcasts
A new season price of $5 for five home football games was established by the athletic board of the University at a meeting yesterday. An admission of $2 will be charged for each of the three major games of the season, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Michigan State. The charge for the opening game against Colorado will be $1,50, and $1 for the St. Benedict's game.
The board decided to make other changes pertaining to the athletic program.
Last year's season tickets sold or issued to K-men total 1947. Since only 1510 seats are available between the 40 yard lines on the field, it will be necessary to reserve seats on a side back as the 35-yard line on both sides. The board decided not to make any change in the matter of seating activity ticket holders.
However, they appointed a committee of George C. Shaad, dean of the School of Engineering; Karl Klooz, bursar; and Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics; to consider the seating of the activity chairs.
When the activity fee was first proposed, representatives of the Men's Student Council chose seats running from the 50-yard line on the east side in preference to seats farther from the center of the field and on the west side. Complaint arose last year because of the heat of the sun in the east stands, and students have been initiating for seats on the west side.
Dr. Allen suggested that students who had paid the activity fee, of which $2.25 is assigned to the athletic department, might obtain reserved season tickets on the west side by paying the difference, $2.25. The west side tickets are transferable. The $2.25 includes the $1.75 difference between $3.25 and the general $5 for the ticket, and the 50 cent government tax, not required in the student fee, but required of ticket buyers.
The board decided definitely against commercial broadcasting of Kansas football games. If any broadcasts are made they will be over the University's own station, KFKU. It is understood that Kansas State College expects to use its station for the broadcasting of football games.
This year's coaching staff was reemployed for next year without change of salary.
Dr. Allen reported to the board that, for the first time, the Kansas Relays broke even. That gold medals or other individual trophies were awarded.
Entomology Professor Resigns
The executive committee of the Sumner Session will meet this afternoon. Due to the resignation of R. H. Beamer, assistant professor of the entomology department, the committee will have to leave to teach in its place in the summer school. Mr. Beamer is to go to Cornell.
