CENSOR NEWS IN FIELD
Officers and Reporters Could Work Together to Protect Army Plans
The dissemination and control of information concerning the present crisis is one of the most vital factors that has shaped our lives. It is a nation of readers and the people insist on being told the news even though they do not believe it. This work will require a great number of journalists, and here the journalists can be used.
Newspaper men know the kind of news that the people are interested in and are better fitted to get the information in shape for the public than are army officers. A newspaper man can write a story so that the main facts are told and yet no information of the enemy, journalists, knows how to bring news so it will lose its value to the enemy.
KNOW NEWS ROUTES
A meeting of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism was held in Chicago last week and the problem of what newspaper men should be staring at during the session was passed staring that the censorship of war news should be in the hand of the newspaper men working in harmony with the army officers.
Officers should meet with the journalists and explain to them military affairs and the strategy of war plans so they will know what is allowed and not allowed, trained to use all means of communication and are able to beat the army officer on any piece of news, but with a newspaper man at the head of the censorship he would be able to plug holes through which news could leak.
OFFICERS SHOULD AID REPORTERS
The newspaper men of the Allies have done much to preserve good feeling among themselves by explaining things that have been done that were not understood by all members, but in some instances into the confidence of the army heads.
OFFICERS SHOULD AID REPORTERS In former troubles the officers and newspaper men have worked against one another, and, although reporters would not intentionally publish anything of value to the enemy many plans have gotten into the press that should not have been published.
The only effective way to censor the news is to censor the newspaper as it comes from the press instead of censoring the reporters' copy. This is the case that if it is not censored, though it is cumbersome it is effective and prevents the blunders that have so often been made because of friction between reporters and officers.

On Circus Day
At the University of Colorado they are going to put on the biggest show in the world, so they claim. Special lighting effects by the best electricians in the school will make the show even more spectacular. Daybe backriders will feature the beginning of the show, and they will be followed by Buffalo Bill's and Charlie Irwin's Original Wild West Shows. A stage coach has been procured, and the proverbial holdup will be effected. Even the charlot races there, and Ben Hur will hold forth as on the old field at Antioch—Texan.
Students Unpatriotic
Four professors at the University of Ohio say that they are, and advance several reasons for such an apathy. They claim that the people who live in the Western and Central States do not feel the war situation as do the people who live in the Eastern States and in the submarine districts. We do not feel the interest in a result, we have an apathy which does not fit in with the interests of the nation at large, and hence the Easterners claim that we are without patriotism—Daily Texan.

Among answers from freshmen taking tactics examinations at Ohio University were the following: When asked to give general orders of a sentinel, a freshman wrote: "In case of war, sound the alarm." Another answered: "Salute all colors and officers," as Wright lightened as "one that you peep thrust"; also, "it is used when the wind blows."

HELEN'S TRANSFORMATION

KNEW Helen Hall when she was nothing but a dowdy, awkward person.
Yesterday when I met her, I hardly recognized the girl.
"What a transformation!" I ex-
claimed. "How did you do it?"
"Merely a question of a corset!" laughed Helen. "I bought a C/B A LA SPIRITE model and it gave me a slender, youthful figure fit for the city. I hadn't been really proud of my looks, and I owe it all to my splendid corset!"
