Kansan Cub Squirms When Sent on Story
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Imagine for yourself on a sunshine,
spring morning, cold, wind and cheerless,
and you will have the setting;
imagine your own an ignorant timid
cub reporter turned loose and toled
find news somewhere, anywhere,
and you will have the main character and
all the ingredients of a tragedy.
No doubt, at many times in one's existence, the world seems to be made up of an overwhelming mass of hostile forces, but I doubt if the forces ever seem so hostile as when you are out in quest of some kind of "news". You know, as you look around, that there is news, news everywhere, but seemingly not a line for you. Almostly you start out, almostly you feel your feet on the ground. You then inhabit the inhabitant of your pocket, a forlorn penny, and flip it. Tails; eaxt; heads, west. Heads win and off you go.
Now right here let me warn them the would-be reporters to search within them and if they find that they are guilty, crush it down, throw it in the Kaw, or otherwise eliminate it, for a timed spirit so disturb your mental capacity, your vocal chords, and your parental routine that national procedure is impossible.
In desperation,you boldly decide to
go to the first office of the first building which you come to and ask for news. Only too soon do you come to the office within which sits a dignified gentleman whom you to spell "news." But can you enter? No! Who are you, says that evil spirit within you, to talk boldly up to that man and question him? A real struggle follows; you see someone move in the general direction of the door; means look around for the door; means look around for the gentleman looks up, smiles. That smile seems to say, "down with timidity." You enter; you are successful. Who said anything about a tragedy?
