W. C. Simons Tells Of Pleasures of Editing Newspaper In Kansas
Newspaper Men In Sunflower State Have Few Idle Moments
"Why do I like being a Kansas editor?"
Between writing out a few checks, answering a long-distance call, and answering some late correspondence, W. C. Simons, editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, answered a few questions which the reporter shot at him as to why he liked being an editor in this state.
"It is a good thing to be an editor in any state but in Kansas it is more than a good thing," the Lawrence editor said, "for to be an editor in Kansas means being associated with such personalities as William Allen White, Henry Allen, and Victor Murdock.
"These are the sort of men who are doing things in all of the work being done in their respective communities. The editors actually have a part in the very life of the place where they have their newspaper establishment."
Not only this but there is a chance to make considerable money in the newspaper field, Mr. Simons pointed out. Especially is this true if the man chooses his field well, when he decides to start a paper, he said.
Then Mr. Simons grabbed his hat and coat, and said, as he hurried out of the office that he must attend the night meeting of the Lawrence Rotary club and he had promised to go to the first concert on the United Nations' holiday night. It was only one of the many busy days which the Kansas newspaper editor has.
The editor of the Journal-World started this week by attending an active meeting of the Social Service League Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce, while on Monday morning he was busy helping set up which will mean a concrete highway from Topeka to Lawrence.
Tuesday noon he was a guest at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. That night he was at the together meeting of townspeople and University student representatives, and there were many while Thursday meant a trip to Kansas City to meet Lord Northlife at a luncheon.
Today, as president of the Second Kansas Editorial Association, he was busy every instant looking after the visiting editors. Saturday will be a repetition, and then the Lawrence editor can rest until next week.
New Cut Service Bought By Kansan For Patrons
A snappy, up-to-date cut service has recently been added as a new feature to the advertising department of the Daily Kansan in order that the buyers of space in the advertising columns may keep up to the minute on styles in all lines of business.
The service obtained is the Bomnet-Brown, and is the same as that used by the Kansas City Journal, the Kansas City Post, the Atlanta Constitution, and other metropolitan papers. Service sheets are sent out every month and from these the selections for cuts are made by the advertiser. From this service, also, the advertiser is able to get all of the latest points and new departures of the advertising world.
The advertiser is further served by a new casting equipment recently purchased by the paper which now enables it to cast plates from matrices and consequently save both time and money to its patrons. Many city papers have not yet obtained this service.
Varsity Goal Tossers Clean Up Frosh Team
Because of the rainy weather there were only eleven Varsity basketball men out last night. The players, with Uhrlauk and Fearing at forward; Hoeikvam, at center; and Miller and Stephenson, at guard; and the freshmen, at freshmen, could not get up any teamwork on the short court.
A second team of regulars then played a team of Lawrence high school players. Both Varsity squads were but the first one had the best teamwork.
There was a large turnout of freshmen, and Coach Cook gave them a short drill in fundamentals before the battle with the old Jayhawkers.
Nine airplanes raided the campus at the Ohio State University one day last week and dropped bombs of Liberty Bond literature.
Cross Country Tryout Will Be Held Before Ames-Kansas Contest
Winners of Race Will Compete With Aggies Next Saturday
The stage is set and everything is ready for the opening Missouri Valley Conference battle for Kansas on McCook. Every loyal Kansas roster should be at the game early and cheer the team to victory.
Tryouts for the cross country team will be held at 2:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon before the Ames-Kansas game. The men have been practicing for more than a month, and fairly fast time is expected for the team. The first six to cross the line will make up the Varsity team.
The men this year have been handicapped by having no coach to help them, but Fred Rodkey, a graduate student in the _University_, has consented to coach them from now on, and better results are expected. The squad is composed almost entirely of new men. Most of the old men have gone into some branch of the military service of the country.
The men will start from McCook Field and finish on the football field across the 50-yard line. The usual cross country course, south on Mississippi street will be followed, the men going west past Marvin Hall. The course then runs north and west until the Country Club is reached, then to the Northwest and back to Maine Street. The runners will run on this street until Illinois Street is reached and they come in on this street to McCook Field.
The best time for the course is twenty-six minutes and forty seconds made by Fred Rodkey. The men probably will make better than thirty minutes in their first run of the season.
The first inter-school cross country run this year will be held Saturday at Manhattan when the K. U. runners compete in the basketball game. Last fall, Kansas walked away with the meet, the first Aggie man not even placing.
SWEDE NIELSEN
Captain of the Jayhawker eleven who will lead his forces against the Cyclones tomorrow afternoon. Swede will be remembered by sport followers as the line smasher that pushed the pig skin across Nebraska's goal line last year for a 7 to 3 victory. Swede has gained considerable speed this season and is the backbone of the team.
While Kansas is clashing with Ames tomorrow afternoon Nebraska, favorite for the valley championship this year, will battle with the Michigan eleven at Ann Arbor. So far this season Nebraska's goal line has not been crossed while she has piled up a pointage of 154 in the three games with Nebraska Wesleyan, Iowa University, and Notre Dame.
SPORT BEAMS
The Kansas Aggies have an open date tomorrow. A week from tomorrow the Jayhawkers will entrain for the Aggie camp for the annual battle. Coach Olcott is optimistic over the outcome of the clash.
The Iowa Aggies are planning a big homecoming day for the day of the football game with the Kansas Aggies November 10.

Theta Sigma Phi Will Bring Big Meet to K. U.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The regular meeting of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, was held yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the women's rest room, Fraser Hall. The program was presented by Marjorie Roby and Mary Roberts. They chose as their subject, Dana Gatlin, a graduate of this University, and an honour member of Theta Sigma Phi, who has been a successful humanian and of magazine articles and stories for several years. Her late war story, "The Full Measure," was
The Epsilon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, of this University, will be hostess to the sorority when the national convention meets in Lawrence next spring. The convention was to have been held last May, but, owing to war conditions, was postponed. The members no longer visit Austin Sturgeon, JesieLea Messik, Mary Roberts, Mary Smith, Ruth Gardiner, and Marjorie Roby. New members will be selected in November from the women doing successful work in the department of journalism.
It is not known whether Doc Marquis will get into the game tomorrow at quarter or not. He is fast and heady but has been out of the practices with an injured shoulder in the scrimmages for short periods the last two nights and has been showing up well.
The prospects of Kansas this season will depend a great deal upon the outcome of the opening valley clash here tomorrow. Should Kansas win, which is very likely, Jayhawker prospects will go sky high. Old sport followers declare K. U. has the best team in years.
A barn dance in the new University barn at the University of Idaho was the first dance of the season. The revelers were dressed in gingham and hats and danced to jazz music. Doughnuts and cider were the refreshments.
Every player on the Kanass squad is in playing condition with the exception of Simon who has two broken bones in his right wrist. The bones are cut off and it is likely Simon will be back in serimages next week.
