Ten Years Ago the Cub News Hound Rushed Hither and Yon; A Notebook and Pencil in Hand
The "cub!" The stupid, abominable cub. The usermerely persecuted undeniably oppressed cub reporter. He is hounded by the copy reader, "hawled" by professors, tormented by his superiors. And from out the conglomeration of personal affliction he emerges, copy in hand, a bizarre smile, eyes wide, ten minutes before press time. Someone caught to eulogize him.
It has always seen so, they say. Back in 1911, when the Kansean, wide by four columns and deep by the combined schiltillation of two schools being published twice a week, the cub was already running about the campus like a chicken in a rain storm, thrusting his inquisitive nose into university life and foolishly and enthusiastically in where angels would fear to tread.
The reverberator had a regular beat, too. He went his rounds of the various offices (the 'ho' of course, what with the comparatively recent advent of the new brood of deans, there were not so many offices as there are now) with the compenise notebook drawer of ever one hand and the large south-west corner of his mouth. He would pounce on a stray wisp of news like a vulture on a heap of bones in the midst of the undulating lands of the Sahara desert, and dash off a piece of copy which would image those bones clothed with the flesh of some repellent of the Mesozoic period in the geological history of the earth. To know how to dig facts from beneath mountains of unqualifying adjectives and floods of elastic verbs in those days.
Special assignments were all the rage. A "tip" on a "big" story and credit for a half column topped with a flaring头 were coveted as are shiny beads in the wilds of darkest Africa; while a short feature on the front page sent the newschaner into the heights of estuary.

CITY RESERVOIR CONVERTED INTO LARGE SKATING RINI
The reservoir at the City Water Plant is being converted into a large skating rink and will afford another place for the students interested in it. The rinks are taken in making figure eights, grip tapes and fancy skating.
Formerly only Potter's lake and the river were available for the winter sport, and most of the time the river is unsafe, but now this reservoir which used to supply the city water is being converted into a playground by the efforts of the mayor. A smooth surface is to be insured in order that may be burned out to flood the place when the ice is cut by the skaters.
Although the new skating rink is some distance from the student district it is only two blocks from the Indiana street car line.

The Springtime of Life and Tingling Love
themselfs, of rushing the word "diligenza" into obsolescence. They are naturally incline that way. And for that reason, there have been several plans in use in the press to create a "self-eviction, to curb their tenderness toward superhuman effort. The first was the "card" system whereby every cub was required to put down the time spent on every activity as did at figures, and he will fail to do himself justice. Such proved to be the case.
Her Supreme Triumph
A chronograph is a clock contravence which automatically stamps the time on a form-card. That what's they had next. But even clocks get out of order. To replace the clock came a human mechanic's handshake. He stamped on the sophomore cards the time spent on each and every assignment.
Human nature is not infallible; the "assistants" became in time, lax and carless, and the beaten sophomore continued to fall short of a square deal. Then a "grad" was employed to do the work and finally, for the first time, this year an assistant instructor is being employed to check up on the embryo journalists. The plan works.

Then—speaking of ten years ago—as now, it was a problem to keep a hundred flight clubs on assignments. It was a problem to impose the necessity for cleaning "clean" copy, for getting their stories in on time.
"Yes," said J. W. Murray, now with the Journal-World and who, many years ago, used to run down tips and pound a typewriter the fangling of ten fingers on it. "Now, the ear," yes, cut reporting ten years ago was very much as it is today.
And today, the eau continues to cut across lawns bedecked with neat "Keep Off the Grass" signs; to dash beneath it, to make sure the mountain pen in the other; to worry his professors and drive the office-desk insane.
