Old Kansan Reporter Returns And Comments On Changes In Office
A Prophecy of What Student Paper Will Be In
1930
Time Has Caused Change
News Editor No Longer Shouts For Reporters—Typewriters Are Plentiful
(Written by a Kansan cub, 1930. ("What was the old 'Kansan' like?") Mary Smith, special writer for the London Times, and a former student of the department of journalism, stopped in the middle of her survey of the new journalism building to answer the question.
"Rather talk about the new one and the new building. When I helped get out the little 4-page sheet we used to call the Kansan we held forth in the basement of the old medic building. Don't suppose you even know where the medic building was.
"It's a little hard to get used to a building like that of the Kansas City Star and to a paper which makes its own cuts, supports an artist's force, gets news over leased wires from four or five news associations, has a library that's bigger than the whole plant used to be, get out two editions a day and extras after all the time, remarkable that it has remarkable people to do this without working the faithful Kansan board to death. And the circulation you've got now would make Fred Rigby—he was our business manager then—think he was in the seventh heaven.
think he was in the seventh grade. You don't mean to tell me that you might be a hacker, the Sour Owl and the Graduate Magazine here too. And the students enrolled to carry on the work.
"It would have taken two years of the Owl we used to publish to make a single volume like this. But our magazine was keen, just the same.
"I'm going to subscribe to the new Kansas Magazine right away. We don't set it on the Times. It's published entirely by the magazine and contributes from some of the best known writers in the United States.
"Here it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the news room isn't buried under the remains of the day's copy. We never were able to send stuff in, nor was there a place to sit when we should have been to press. It seems queer to talk of the news room, the editor's office room and several other rooms. We did everything in a thirty by twenty room. We did everything editors here. I read a Kansas editorial in the New York Times yesterday.
"I'd like to come back and help get out the paper for a week or two."
reporters report any better for work than they used to? I see you have a large and prominent timeclock which indicates that they haven't acquired the habit of coming all the time on time.
"And do you have enough typewriters to go 'round'? That was the burning question in the old Kansan days. And if there were enough machines for one appiece there were always several that were fit for use only once a week. Even the editor didn't have a special machine.

"Don't Doll Up"
"If anyone finds it impossible to come to the Halloween'e party costumed a la rube, then they should wear their oldest clothes—formal dress will be frowned upon," said the "powers that be" when asked about the party today. A real country Halloween'e party might not present an entire array of aprons and overalls so any appropriate clothes will do, the more informal the better their wearer will enjoy the party.
Y. W.C.A.
To bring a greater amount of real
spirituality to the students of the University, the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet decided at its regular meeting last night to take up a detailed study of the Gospels, beginning with the Book of John. Combined with earnest daily prayer Miss Katherine Duffield, Y. W. Secretary, is confident this study will give the Cabinet as the religious leader of the University women a spiritual awakening of deeper value than just religion.

Typhoid In University Has Been Checked—But
Freshmen Are Negligent Ir Taking Second and Third Inoculations
University hospital authorities say that the threatened typhoid epidemic has been successfully checked. The two cases now being cared for are improving rapidly and no new cases have appeared.
However, the freshmen men are not taking their inoculations as they should. Many have taken the first treatment and have not returned for another visit. From typhoid it is necessary that the full course of treatments be taken. Some increase in the number applying for inoculation was noticed Thursday afternoon, due presumably to the presence of Professor Dohntik from typhoid.
As a precaution, students are urged to be careful of the water they drink. The city water is still running in some of the University buildings. This should not be used for drinking under any circumstances. Patrons of boarding clubs should also insist on all the drinking water being boiled. Any failures in this respect should be reported to the health authorities.
The fact that one has had typhoid at some previous time does not necessarily make him immune now.

Large Audience Attends Dramatic Club Meeting; Officers Were Elected
Six Voted Into Membership-
Requirements Will Be
Striet
Despite the rainy weather 150 people attended the opening meeting of the Dramatic Club in the theater in Green Hall last night. The presentation of two one-act comedies, a reading and election of officers for the year was the program for the evening.
The enthusiasm displayed at the reorganization meting insures the success of the club. Sentiment was expressed to the effect that the membership requirements be more rigid and competitive try-outs will be necessary before any applicants name is voted on.
Six new members were voted into the club last night. They are: Craig Kennedy, Marie Hochman, Ruth McNamara, Dorothy Usereldt and Raymond Darby.
Those voted in either appeared in one of the plays last night or have shown good action in previous tryouts.
A point that will make for better material in the club was a ruling to admit to membership freshmen who have shown their ability to act in a competitive try-out. Previously the upperclassmen were admitted.
The election of officers resulted in the choice of the following: president, Harold Lytle; vice-president, Eugene Dyer; secretary and treasurer, Helen Clark; business manager of the play, Lewis Hull.
The executive committee has already begun the work of selecting a play for the year which will be presented at a downtown theatre. The "little theatre" idea will prevail in the presentation of the plays for the club meetings. The public will be invited.

S. A. Lough, president of Baker University, will address the students at the Interdenominational Luther Center at Myers厅 at 4:30 o'clock Sunday.
In view of the fact that Sunday has been proclaimed as "Prayer Day" by President Woodrow Wilson, a special effort should be made by the students to be present and hear the message Doctor Lough will have.

The Men's Glee Club will sing for the soldiers at Camp Funston in a short time, Joseph H. Farrell, director of the club, announced last night at the regular practice of the club at Myers Hall.
Sam P. Mickey, manager of the Glee Club, received an invitation from J. Robertson, government official in charge of the soldiers' entertainment at Camp Funston, for the club to come Thursday and give concerts the remainder of the week, but as the men have been practicing only three weeks, Director Farrell said that the trip would be delayed for a time.
"Undoubtedly we will go to Camp Funston later in the year," said Director Farrell last night. "It is also probable that we will sing at other military camps before the year is over."
Manager Mickey said that when the trip was made, it would probably include stops at Junction City and Manhattan, where concerts would be given. He said that four concerts would be given in all.
The new ruling adopted by the Senate in regard to compulsory military training had a favorable effect on the football prospects. Merle Ruble, a strong candidate for the backfuel position, and a moderately qualified for a line position, will now be able to report for practice every night.
