Youthful Fancies Turn to Serenades in Spring
"Spring is the time of 'awakening' in more than one sense of the word Referring to semenales. Birds are not the only creatures who feel at home in spring, and start to circulate; and flowers and trees, and so forth, and bees are not the only things that are awakenies from their slumbers. Consider girl on sleeping porches and their reacreation semenales these mottled nights.
Night life to them is just one awakening after another. A backfire from a Ford, a screech of brakes, and some laughter is when you again rouse yourself and try to feel thrilled. You sleep in the corner hed; the whole chapter piles on you; the man's face grows red. After a song somebody grows down at you and says "clay!" and you struggle lonely for your hands, which are pinched down beneath you. And so
Serrendes are like the little girl with a curl on her horsehead—when they were young, but when they are bad they are horrid. There was one the other night, presented by about six young men who were resting of the rest of the time. It was difficult to tell where their singing began and ended, because it was finally left off, and they went on their way to awaken other sisters on other sleeping porches and enter

"The do-your-work-or-get-out attitude taken by present day college faculties is all wrong," he said. "They declared, 'About 29 per cent of the student in college get poor marks because they are not going to work.' And make a mistake if they do, and when they are graduated, they are unable to meet the emotional problems of the students."

Kansas Editors Hear Talk Based on Speech Given Here Years Age
(Special to the Kansan)
Concordia Kansas Editor Takes Old Theme, Enviched by Experience
Emporia, May 4—AD address delivered before the deportment of journalism at the University of Kansas 20 years ago was the basis of a speech by James H. Berry on the Kansas Kamen of Concordia, before the 26th annual conference of the Kansas Editorial Association at the Broadway Center in New York that object was “Bridging the Years.”
Mr. Davies has been actively engaged in Kansas newspaper work for 16 years. The address this afternoon is 427 N. 5th Street, when C. M. Harger, now of the Abilene Reflector, was head of the department of journalism. The general theme of a country newspaper obliges journalists to observe and reflect the experience in the life of the veteran Kansas editor since that time and the score of years that preceded the address. He was the first man on the cover of *The Kansas Times* to attend a Fort Wayne forum yesterday.
The address centered about the country editor, his individuality and his obligations.
"The country editor has two constituencies. His paper must be a dissenter of news and editorial exponents, while the media medium is advertising columns."
It must have news about people without flattery and unimpeded praise. "The first mission of a newspaper is to succeed as a business proposition. Inside on tetral commercialism in the 1980s, it is its dealings with its advertisers, but the editorial column must be able to communicate the failure of many is attributable to *g* lack of commercialism as publishers and too much of it as content."
