ENGLISH JOURNALIST SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
Harold Spender Declares Ameri can Papers Should Assume More Leadership
"JOURNALISTS HAVE DUTY"
British Newspaperman Saya Northliffe Publications Cater to Public Taste
That the United States at the present time needs leadership as never before, and that such leadership falls in a large degree upon the American public, Mr. Wheeler said, talk given to journalism students of the University this morning by Harold Spender of England, one of the Spender brothers who own a chain
"The American politician is not giving to the American public the leadership it deserves and expects," said Mr. Spender.
The English journalist stressed the duty of the younger journalists who are issuing from journalism schools to report on and promote the supreme function of the present day newspaper, he commented, "not only to give the public the facts, but to interpret them intelligently and to tell the people in their national affairs.

NORTHCLIFFE SPIRIT SURVIVES!
NORTHCLIFE SPRINT SURVIVES Mr. Spencer said he had often been questioned concerning the policy of the Northcliffe papers and the actual results in England following the recent death of Lord Northcliffe "And I have never, until now, given an answer to that question," he continued. "I am going to tell you the truth." He has said he will rule the policy of his publications and to take part in the politics of England even though he is gone, because his brothers are carrying on the work as he did while alive.
"Contrary to the general opinion, Northlife was not a good writer; he was a rather poor writer. But he was an excellent business man and he had the courage to help for his success in English journalism. His business creed was 'Give the public what it wants,' not what it ought to have. Right now the Northlife papers are opposing Lloyd George's policy concerning the Turkish invasion in Europe, but because they believe the public is tired of war.
"In that Lord Northcourt considered journalism only as a business, he was not the journalist he might have been. He was a dictator."
The great hero of the English newspaper is the present time, the speaker pointed out that of a war between the editorial side of the paper and the news side. The editorial end insists that the public be given an expression of opinion on the vital topics of the day, while the news-gatherers wish to fill the issue with nothing but hard facts.
Mr. Spender comes from a family of journalists and writers and has had a number of years of experience on some of England's great newspaper among them, the Pall Mall Gazette, Westminster Gazette, Daily Chronicle and Daily News. Also during his years of newspaper service he worked at
"It is the purpose and privilege of you younger journalists," he said, "to go out into the newspaper world with the intention of molding public opinion and of acting as leaders for the mass. It is a noble thing to do. Journals are an important part in the world, and you should make the best of your great opportunity."

"Heart of America" on Farm Close to Lebanon
Lebanon, Kans., Sent. 22 (U. P.) he "Heart of America" has been jud.
Not in the midst of a busy city, but on the peaceful farm of A. C. Roberts, near here, lies the exact geographical center of the country. Roberts has farms in the county and a railroad that fathered the soil before him. The "Heart" is eighty rods north of the Rock Island railroad tracks which run through the Roberts farm. The spot was decided upon after weeks of figuring by expert geographical engineers. A stone will probably mark the most.
SATURDAY THE DAY FOR RACES AT FAIR
Wet Track Brings Postponemen of Racing at Woodland Park
STUDENTS' SPECIAL DAY
All Regular Features And Exhibitions Will Kemain on Grounds
Saturday will be more or less of a "students' Day" at the Douglas County fair at Woodland park, for upon that day the horse races which were originally scheduled for Wednesday will be run. Because of the wet condition of the Woodland park race track Wednesday afternoon, the Fair Board decided that the races would be host not席 until Saturday.
Also, due to the fact that the greater majority of the students have been unable to attend the fair because of classes and studies, the Fair Board concluded that Saturday should be made an additional fair day in order that students might attend. Besides horse races, all the regular fair features will be given Saturday.
Free attractions are given daily at the fair, and there are concerts by both the Haskell and Fraternal Aid Union bands. There are all sorts of agricultural, mechanical, and art plays in the various buildings on the grounds. A carnival provides additional entertainment.
One exhibit which has attracted much attention from fair-goers is the model farm which has been built by the vocational agricultural class of Lawrence high school. The farm occupies the northeast corner of the agricultural building, and consists of a five-room stucco house, a garage, livestock barn, granary, poultry house, hog barn, windmill and power house.

A "lights out at eleven" rule has been "voluntarily adopted by Wananta, a co-operative house at 1231 Louisiana Wakanta follows the lead of Lakota, which has always followed this rule at the University Husing Committee.
The party will end at 9:30 o'clock in order that it will not interfere with other engagements for the evening.
"Lights Out at Eleven" at Co-operative House
the "fight outs" rule applies from Monday to Thursday inclusive. The following out of the rule, it is thought, will increase the efficiency of the women. By easing study at eleven instead at various morning hours the women believe their alertness will be increased.
Mrs. D. R. Bryant, chairman of the Housing Committee said, "The Housing Committee urges lights out at 11 o'clock because we believe it will be conducive to study earlier in the evening and will enable the girls to get the proper amount of sleep. The matter will probably be discussed in the sessions of the Council of House Presidents and may be adopted to good advantage in many of the organized houses."

Co-educational Assembly Appeals to Noblewoman
"I feel sure that the influence a such great men as Washington, Burke, Lincoln and Pitt is being felt among the youth of America," declared Sir Charles Wakefield, alderman of the City of London, in an interview with a Kansan reporter today. When asked concerning the status of the Daily Kanan in comparison with student newspapers in England he exclaimed, "Oh, we have nothing like it in England."
"It seemed so queer to see a convention in a co-educational school," the comment of Lady Wakefield. "You know, we have nothing like it." She added that the women in the student body, and Cambridge will not admit them.
Judge Hurg尔斯 is conducting the English party on its trip through Kansas. A delegation from the Topeka Chamber of Commerce accompanied the British visitors to Lawrence.
"The relation of England and America is not merely one of friendliness but is in a specific program of services to each other with a common understanding of the history of America.

KANSANS DO THINGS
"Hansen have always been prince-
tical idealists; they do not invent
things in the realm of thought but
when the thoughts come to them,
they say let's do something, and they
do it," continued the Chancellor.
"Kansas has been the experimental station in regard to prohibition, the industrial court and other important steps in an approach to an ideal country. Kansas does not want to be the other of states but in reality wishes to be themselves with a mannerism that The Times of the State is yet in the experimental stage with the motto of 'Services to the State.'"
"The University has three aims in which it places its entire endowment, to give its children extensive training, to extend to the adult citizen the opportunity to go on learning in order to progress of education may go on as long as the government as counselor in regard to all state questions of importance. The University intends to train its students in citizenship and to educate them in the functions of government," were the closing words of Chancellor Lindbergh admonition. The response was W. C. Lindbergh, a graduate of the Kansas Industrial court and representative from the Topeka Chamber of Commerce.
FIGHT FOR THE "RIGHT"?-WAKEFIELD Mr. Huiggins' responsive address was brief but impressive. He declared that "common principle and common sense should make common friendship among all English speakers. This is the reason why he introduced Sir Charles Wakefield as the principal speaker.
"Fight for the Right," was the policy advocated by Sir Charles Wales-Jeldin in his opening sentence, "Make sure that the object is right and then stick to it, but don't jump from one side of the fence to the other. The greatest thing in life is not merely money, the art of playing the game and playing it."
The world today is crying out from every corner for leaders, for men and women of character and who have the stamina to back up their ideals. They want persons who can be trusted and who are willing to work.<sup>3</sup> he conti-
One of the points included in his talk this morning was that of Religion. "Don't be ashamed of your Religion and have faith and belief in your prayers, all men and women of leadership for the most part have been Christian," he added, with hope "so this during the war," said Mr. Wakefield.
