Round Tables for Kansas editors be-
given at 10 a. m. today and by 2 p. m.
about forty editions had registered.
Leslie Wallace, editor of the Lerner "Tiller and Tolter" acted as chairman at the general round table discussion at 11 a.m. This session was devoted to the answering and asking of questions which had been prepared concerning the policies and management of a newspaper.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
"The average country weekly," declared W. C. Simons, editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, "is not willing to pay the money they should to secure subscription. Seventy-five per cent could well afford to invest some money in circulation." In regard to the territory for circulation, the general owner was preyed on by other preferred subscribers in their own territory and not outside. The reason for this preference was that they could not hold them as steadily as the local subscriber.
Sample Copy Discussed
The editors discussed what constituted a sample copy. The forum expressed the general opinion that this sample copy was not for sale, verifying purposes was a solution of the legal issues.
"In a semi-weekly" epitched Charles Browne, editor of the Horton Mankiewicz Commercial, "you can get up both the news and the advertising and this you cannot get in the weekly. Furthermore in a semi-weekly you can effectively maintain a dendrite that advertisers will respect. In this case the office can handle more news and the office work is spotted as on a daily."
Question Starts: Argument
Mr. Wallace asked the assembly how they made the advertisers respect the deadline.
At noon the meeting adjourned until the first conference of the after noon at 13:00.
George R. Longan Talks
Round tables were held at 1:30 p.m. for weekly and daily newspapers.
The problems of the paper were discussed at length, Mr. Clark Gorkin, editor of the Lyons Republic, canned as chairman of the general session this afternoon.
The editors were guests at a tea in the Sky Parlor of the Journalism building at 1:40 p. m., and then a tour of the campus was made. Director at the University Campus is attending the day of business activities.
An address was given by Mr. George B. Longan, omnipresent editor of the Kuala City Star at 3:50 p.m. at the auditorium in the central Administration holding. Mr. C. L. Hobart, president of the Missouri Association, addresses fences on "Publicity, Why Should it be Free?"

New Paper Creates Pep

Origin of Homecoming Tradition Lies Buried in Deep, Dark Mystery
Men Who Made*First Program Have Forgotten Why It Was Admitted
Just why or how the tradition of homecoming games found its way to Kaisa is a deep, dark mystery. Even men who look part in arranging the first homecoming program have long realized why they were adopted at this school.
According to Prof. F. E. Meltin of the department of history, Illinois was the first western school, if not the first school to make the business
"The first homecoming game at Illinois was in 1910," said Professor Melvin. "The idea spread to schools nearby in 1911, and by 1914 it was an established thing in practically all colleges and universities." The first game of this kind at Kansas was in 1913.
"I gues we just decided that it was a good plan to arouse the interest of the alumni," said Prof. H. B. Hunton, who is chairman of the biology, who was chairman of the homecoming program committee in 1919. "This was the first year that this game was formally put on the calendar and big prepara- tions made."
Prof. L, N. Flint, of the department of journalism, who was secretary of alumn in 1913, declares that Alfred "Scopp" Hill, of Arkansas, was above responsible for the addition of the homecoming game idea.
Fred Elsworth, present secretary of the alumni association, does not know why the games began in 1913, but thinks that there were two reasons for so much interest being taken in the game in 1912: one was that the place the games were played was vacant, and the other was Cook field in 1910, and the other was the renewed interest in school sports after the war.
Before the advent of the homecoming grid battle, the interest of alumni in all schools was centered on the annual commencement exercises. The game idea just proved to be of more interest and was accepted wholeheartedly by alumni and students as well.
Judge Harvey Addresses Law Fraternity Group
Old Timer's night took its place in the homeschooling program in 1920. Paradise became a part of the schedule in 1921, and the physical education exhibition was first held in 1921. Last year, a homeschooling event of interest was the joint concert of the Kansas and Missouri Gleebles Club.
Engineering Group Plans Trip to Ricards' Field
"A trip to Richards aviation field in Kansas City, Sunday, Oct. 24, is planned for a group of nearly twenty engineering students for the purpose of studying the latest developments in planes and aviation equipment," said Dean Walker, head of the School of engineering this morning.
Lou Holland, president of the Kansas City chamber of commerce, sent an invitation to Dean Walker to bring a group of interested students to the exhibition, which will be held Saturday and Sunday, and promised him special attention and explanation by his aviation pilots and mechanics.
The Foker plane, the plane used by Lieutenant Byrd in his sensational flight over the north pole, will be one of the planes on exhibition.
