Newspapers Still Give Opportunity Editors Are Told
Walter M. Harrison, Head of National Society, Hopeful for Future
The newspaper business still has a promising outlook for the young man of idealism, in spite of cynicism to the contract, Walter M. Harrison, editor of the Daily Oklahoman of Oklahoma city, and president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors Kansas editors here after noon.
Mr. Harrison compared newspaper of today with those of 50 years ago during the past year, pointing out particularly as a result the disappearance of the party organ.
Political Tyranny Gone
"It is a hopeful sign that no longer is there a 'body-and-soul' tyranny of political party over the newspaper," she added. "I am proudified this tendency. The St. Louis Post-Dispare favored Smith, yet its news columns give complete accounts of what happened."
"In the same way, the Kansas City Star, with its pro-itso-hoolyman activities as did the New York Wood."
"Newspaper consolidations are helping to make stronger organizations, and this, too, is helpful," Mr. Harrison said.
"Nothing that has to struggle for its existence can have any strong effect on public questions," Mr. Harrison declared.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1928
He criticized the tendency of small dailies to ape the metropolitan press, especially in their endeavor to use feature material that has no local bearing. The town Press association, in its vote not to use features of any kind, refused to grant rights to a Des Moines paper, was commented on as being a form of boycott that might affect adversely these smaller papers. Plenty of local news was advised as the best weapon for the newspaper in combating the mediastrian slam.
"Participation of the public in the production of the newspaper through the press is much to close away the idea that has been held that the newspaper is a source "out said Mr. Hurrizo.
The experiment of the Boston Traveler in supplanting its editorial page with letters from the people, was compounded as the newspaper's own business but as a means of organizing public discussion of public questions.

Card Stunt Will Be
New Feature of Game
Tomorrow Afternoon
instructions to Be Followe If Triek Is Success, Say Cheerleaders
Tomorrow at the Oklahoma game Kansas will use the card system for spelling out O. U. and K. U. for the students at other schools with good effect and there is no end to the possibilities to which it may be used if the students will co-operate by following the instruction to Paul Parker, head cheerleader.
The rules are as follows; 1. The stunt will be presented at the hall—so please remain in your seat. This is not a dress code. 2. Color of card is out. 3. Hold card at 45 degree angle in front of you. 4. Finger must be on the tip given by whisha. 5. Do not hold card out until the second signal is given. 6. Attention to the abbreviator's signals.
"There cannot be too much stress laid upon the following of those rules which I have stated. "If they are followed we will have something that will run well."
The spelling will make a good appearance from the east stadium, according to the committee who has worked out the system. The letters will be photographed not only for the Jayhawker but also for several men as well as those men who will be on hand to cover the game.
The sophomore cheerleader, Swede Olson, Bilb Abtet and Oz Rutledge, have been working out some clever cheers which they will lead Saturday at the game probably after the card count is over during the half. The freshman cheerleaders will have their quartertime during the basketball season.
"If we want to show the Dud 'what we can do--Oklahoma already spells that out," Parker said. "let's make this initial better-spelling stunt the big thing of the year. If this one goes over there will be plenty more to follow," Parker said.

By Clarence Brown
Thus a muddy field would be presented the Jayhawkers and the Sooners, who were built out of a heavy rain falling last night and continuing today. Although the sword in is good condition, it was shaken to badly turn up by the two devens when they met in their anteroom chase at Memorial stadium tomorrow.
It is doubtful if the wet field will be advantageous to either team, as all teams can do it without any consequence. However, the hayfawners will be slowed up considerably, as was shown in the game between New Jersey and Minnesota, where they are relying on the pass and with the prospect of a water-soaked ball will doubtless need to change their
Change Somers Line-Up
Numerous shifts were reported in the Oklahoma line-up on the eve of the all-important battle of the week. Having been run over by a "steam" player, Kyle Johnson's Lindy's proteges are in no shape to play football. However, with only three shifts in the forward wall behind field, the team will still consist largely of veterans of last year's players at Knoxville, 29 to 7.
Jayhawner stock took a rise when it was learned Hauser and Logan were coaches. Both men have been watching practices from a distance all week. Hauser was suffering from an ankle injury, and limped about on the field. Logan was considerably bruised. Fetty and Briggs have been working in the line, and have shown up well in practice with the freshman
Cooper to Quarter Position
Conch Hargiss hinted that he would start Cooper in the quarter position and send Paden to halfback position. Cooper did the signal call, but Conch was out. This pair together with Lyman and Lawrence will probably start against he Sooners.
On the practice field yesterday two varsity teams went through a stiff practice in final preparation for the Dad's day contest. Coach Hargris left in the middle blocking in offensive play, while usn. coach Linn Waldorf worked with the reserves. Punting and passing was next on the program and we had to be fast. Both teams displayed a passing offense before the attack against a defensive freshmen team using Oklahoma formations, that proved successful on the short passes, but not on the throwbs by Lawrence and Cooper.
Sooner Coach a K. U. Man
The Sooners are under the direction of Ad Lindsey, former Kansas athlete. While in school here Lindsay made letters in football, basketball and baseball. In 1016 he was captain of a football team and quarterback and halfback.
With the present situation of a wet and muddy field Jayhawker passes be few and far between—and so they are carried to the aerial game, bit slippery.
Since the Sooners have put one set of jersey and those are red, Coach Hargis has consented to don the lawyhawkers in solid dark blue jeans instead of the usual red ones, in order to offset any similarity. Large shoes appear on the back and the lined design on the front is also white.
Coach Lindsey and a squad of 25 members of the varsity left Norman last night for Lawrence and be an assistant coach if the occasion presented itself. However, he admitted the team was in poor shape for the encounter Satur-

Band May Go to Ottawa for Opening of Highway
The University band may go to Ottawa Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. m. to assist in the ceremonies in conjunction with the planned highway, U. S. T. 78 between Lawrence and Ottawa. Since they have lost so much time lately, the plans are moved to 2:29 p.m. m. instead of in the morning if that suited the plans of the committee. If it cannot be arranged, the committee will likely go at 10:30 as scheduled.
Informal Discussion Series to Start Sunday; "The Orient" Is Topic
Prof. Donald C. Marsh to Open Meeting at Union With Short Talk
"The Orient," will be the general topic of discussion in the first informal talk of the series planned to be held in the main lounge of the Union building on Sunday afternoons, be given by Ms. Carsh Marsh of the sociology department will lead this discussion with stories of hisexperiences in the Orient and the impressions he received while there during the past summer. Opinions will be given for the students to ask questions or aid in the discussion.
"We are not sure just what speakers will lead the other discussions after this first one," Dorothy Clarke, "92, who is in charge of arranging conferences, can promise several interesting hours on Sunday afternoons from 3 to 4 for those who attend." Miss Clarke is hoping to obtain the services of conversation speakers and other visiting speakers. She will be on the Hill on Sunday afternoons.
The Union operating committee, which is sponsoring these informal talks, has two main purposes in view: to educate the Union members further opportunities, to benefit by and become acquainted with their Union building; and second, they wish to make sure some better acquainted with faculty members and to have a chance to meet visiting speakers in an informal discussion from the formal lecture platform.
This first series of informal meetings in the nature of an experiment on the University. The Union committee is anxious to see how the students who have been taken, according to Misa Cura Nigg, chairman of the Union activist group,

Professor Mattern Talks at Architectural Meeting
"The term 'sketch' was derived from the word meanings of 'meaning spasm', said Mart. Mattesser's fessor of drawing and painting, in his talk to the Architectural society at Harvard."
Mr. Mattern, in speaking on "Sketching as I Understand I," told of the methods and uses of the vari- tions that are involved in painting, water colors, etching, and lithograph. He called attention to the fact that a sketch by Leonardo Bu- sano was found at the floor of Administration building is much better preserved than the masterpiece, "The Last Supper." This work is due to the paper used of质.
Arkansas Freshmen Wear Caps Until Thanksgiving
Fayetteville, Ark, Nov. 16, (Other Campus Special)- Freshmen in the University of Arkansas were served the special welcome package and wear their coat until Thanksgiving.

"The rest of the program will be the same as announced in last night's Kunan," governor Ben S. Paulden and Governor elect Clyde M. Reed will be present at the banquet tomorrow evening, and we are invited invitations to attend our annual ceremonies tonight and they have also been invited to attend the banquet. Mr. Reed may not be able to attend as he is at present but the sense of a doctor and the incinere weather may keep him away.
The special train carrying the Oklahoma roofing section will not begin its homeward trip until 1 a.m. Sun. on Friday, Oct. 27, for large attendance of students from the University of Oklahoma at the Dad's day dinner. At the Oklahoma student center, the train will carry a year they are taking advantage of this opportunity to follow the team.

Parents wishing to view the dance will be invited to the batchey for this purpose.
Postmaster Makes Clear Hours of Hill Collections
Explains Mail Schedules
"Students do not know the hours that mail goes to the main station." Grant Mull, postmaster, believes, and K. W. Snyder, vice president, agrees with him. Campus mall boxes have cards telling the hours of collection from them, but this mail is not taken to the Lawrence office for pick-up. Think, but to the University station.
Mull collect letters from the boxes at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. and takes them directly to the University station where they are collected at 8:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. At the Post Office at about 8:15 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. and from there directly to the trains.
The most frequent mistake that students make is to put their mail in the campus boxes at 0:90 a.m., m, thinking that it will get started sooner than if they would put it in their own box, putting the houses, which is not the case.
No mail is gathered from either the boxes or the station on the Hill on Sundays or holidays but the door of the station may be dropped in the stairs. Abraham has the window of the station and is on duty at 8:00 a.m., m., to 11:30 a.m., when he takes his lunch, and is on duty at 12:40 p.m., m., until 5:00 p.m.
Big Ten May Bar Former Haskell Star After 1928
Chicago, Nov. 16. —(UP)—The Chicago defense ends to end the football careers of Mayes McLain, who played two years at Haskell Institute. Haskell is claused for a penalty during the game.
This is McLain's first year of eligibility at the Iowa school, and he was expected to enjoy two more years. Now it seems that many years ago, about 1904, a ruling was made in the United States that the largest Indian school in the country but now abandoned, as colleges so far as football was concerned.
