MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 19120
CHANCELLOR LINDLEY
We went home last June with the realization that there would be a new guiding hand on the University wheel this fall. But it was a rather rattle idea of some far away man about whom we felt half timid and half curious. But this fall he is a flesh and blood person actually among us, and the great thing is that as we meet him, all timidity disappears before the kindly smile and we are friends.
Chancellor Lindley has come to us to work with us for a greater, better Kansas and University, and after talking with him we are confident of our hoped for greater success in the near future. It is also on the experiences of others who have worked with Doctor Lindley that we base our hopes, for it has been said of him that his greatest gift is that of forming vital contacts with men and affairs and that his personal soundness, trustworthiness, and wholesome character have given him the fine foundation for being a leader wherever he may be.
Last spring, worn out with final examinations, professors and aerenades, we said goodbye, invardely wondering and doubling if Lawrence again would be graced by our presence. But in the three months apart from the University and its life we have stored up a bucky supply of enthusiasm and love for it, and crabby thoughts are as much a part of the past as our freshman caps.
His sense of humor along with his kindly friendiness breaks the chill of strangeness and makes us forget our rather widely varied positions of chancellor and student.
Doctor Lindley has said that he gets much of his recreation from talking with people and it is in this way that he keeps in touch and in sympathy with his fellow men. Without this ability he could not have done such constructive work in the field of industrial relations, nor have been one of the greatest teachers of the northwest nor have attracted crowds to listen to rather deeply intellectual lectures.
Classes before us have come back in the fall, eager and fresh and it is they who have kept the University growing, and it happens that we now are holding the spotlight.
We have become acquainted and like Doctor Lindley and hope he will like us so that our work together may be a great success in this crisis year for the University of Kansas.
WE MEET AGAIN
It is up to us to work vigorously and intelligently to leave this University better than we found it, and in that way help to pay back what it is giving to us.
The fly in the University ointment this fall is the housing situation. Numbers of students have secured rooms, not without a dishearing struggle, and many are still searching.
ROOMS
Lawrence is getting more than its share of the blame in this situation, as some one or something always gets the blame in an irritating or trying circumstance. Lawrence is offering rooms, plenty of them, and good ones, in pleasant residences, but the drawback to them, the student declares, is that they are not all within a radius of two blocks of Fraser Hall. Without a dormitory system it is impossible to get all of the University's growing enrollment within the very shadow of the school.
It is mighty fine to believe we are going to like each other so well that we all want to live in the same few blocks, but let's be sensible about it.
Much of Lawrence's pleasant residence district is situated at some distance from the University, and it is in homes in this district that rooms for students are offered. What abledibed young student is going to be seriously impaired in health by a walk of six or eight blocks to school?
Since we have no dorditories and Lawrence is trying to do its part, let us be careful in fixing the blame for this unpleasant situation.
OUT OF THE MUD
Patience is rewarded: We are to have docent campus streets And while it is more or less inconvenient to go from Fraser to the Library via the Gymnasium or Marvin Hall, yet from these billowing rivers of mud which now connect one building with another, will flower forth smooth concrete streets such as the University and its students have dreamed of for many years.
In crossing the campus on our former cinder highways, a car travelled approximately two blocks forward and three blocks up and down and gave visitors a rugged and rocky impression of the University and the eminence upon which it is built. The Daily Kansan has harped for many years on the campus roads and with these few words of thanks and appreciation we will quietly subside on that subject and give our spare efforts to dodging the autoists who will be attracted by our new streets.
YOUR FRIENDS
Witnessing the arrival of almost any train into Lawrence during the few days preceding the opening of school provides a vital argument in favor of a university education. The genuine affection, shown by a warm handshake or, if the incomer be a woman, a kiss, with which each "olf" student is welcomed back, proves conclusively that there are multitudes of strong friendships formed "on the hill" which are carried forward from
There is a note of sincerity and not a little of anxiety in each, "Well, how are you, old pal? Did you spend a great summer?" that one must travel far outside of university life to find elsewhere. Certain it is that at least a part of your vacation has been spent in wondering just what "the bunch" has been doing, and hoping that the friends who declared they could not come back to school have changed their plans. With thousands of young men and young women, gloriously alive to the possibilities of the present age, constantly in close association and with the same general perspective, it is to be expected that friendships, once given seed, ripen quickly, and attain a life long growth.
one year to the next with unceasing loyalty.
WOMEN JOURNALISTS FIND ENGLAND HARD
London—The girl who wants to be a journalist doesn't stand much chance of getting a job here on a metropolitan paper nowadays unless she is a college graduate. But now against the "wiseman" type of journalist, the woman who writes on all subjects and devotes herself to what used to be called "subjects of feminine interest." And it is notorious that a great man in the best women are written by men.
A number of American girls, wishing to visit England and earn their way, have asked me about coming over. I tell them that the first requirement is a certain amount of money; not too much, but not be much; enough to pay for bed and board during the lean intervals is enough to start with; but it is admitted by the most optimistic that there are lean intervals in the early career of even the most successful paper writers, and especial women.
English women are still struggling to attain the same level as men, but in spite of the 'journaist' union and several societies and benefit associations the fact remains that women are discriminated against by employers. It is perfectly frank in saying that they have a prejudice against women reporters
The reasons given for this prejudice are that women only take up journalism as a last resort after they have failed in other work and that women do so not lovingly and ungrammatically in their writings—Margaret Walter.
