TELLS HOW PRESS CAN AID COLLEGES
ChancellorFrank Strong Urge
Closer Relations in Opening
Newspaper Week
Possibilities of closer relations be the press and state education were outlined here today by Chancellor Frank Strong, of the University of Kansas in opening the National Conference on the University Campus.
"Newspaper week at the University of Kansas has more than usual significance" declared Chancellor Strong. "It marks the beginning of a larger effort to relate the press to state education. It also marks the beginning of a larger movement toward determining more accurately the right relation to the fundamental ethical qualities upon which the press must rely to achieve the greatest usefulness to our civilization.
"In this the University has no part except to act as an open forum and as the agency for conducting the conference. The University is not in any way responsible for the questions that are in the minds of many people. Its aim is to foster discussion and so far as may be to tend its aid when the proper solution of problems is pointed out.
"No one can doubt the power of the press. It is evident on every hand. It stares one in the face from the front pages of the great daily and weekly newspapers of our country. So great is its power that its right relation to public education, primary, secondary and higher, is of the greatest importance to the institution as well as to the general cost of our life. It is upon the press that institutions of higher learning must largely depend for the right attitude of the public toward the powerful and expensive engine of our civilization that we call the college or university.
"A university has three great functions. Its first and primary functions is to teach the coming
generations the knowledge achieved by the past. It is the chief instrument of the community for maintaining without loss what has come to use from past generations. A weakening of the primary functions of a college or university would be a calamity indeed. The second function of a University is the creative or research function. The college or university has been the field of knowledge in adding to the field of knowl- vement, but the sum total of what has come to us from the past. The best evidence of this is the fact that many of the great discoveries of the past century have come out of the college laboratory. The third great function of a university is to relate the learning and discoveries of the university to the life of the people as immediately possible so that the advantage of from the greatest learning functions may come to those that pay the expense. The evidence of this lies in the numerous state activities of a university like the University of Kansas.
"Now, the powerful engine of the press may always be depended upon to support and even exaggerate the importance of the third great function of a state university, but it does not always give the aid that the university needs in maintaining the first and second functions. The forward commercialism and materialism in our life is exceedingly strong. Its pressure upon a university is most difficult to withstand. It becomes a matter of the greatest concern when the enormous pressure for the practical education produces continual inroads upon the paper of its own ought to go for the maintenance of the most important functions of an institution, namely, the teaching and creative functions.
"This great newspaper conference besides discussing and solving some of the problems attaching to the great profession here represented may also do education a real service if it shall awake the public press to the importance of maintaining at the highest standard not only the practical side of university work but what is more important, the primary functions of a teaching institution."

PUBLIC NEWSPAPERS TO REGULATE PRESS?
ROWLAND'S COLLEGE BOOK STORE
They Are Proposed by Prof Ross at the National Conference at K. U.
"It is as if a large proportion of physicians were becoming nearer attaches of private sanitaria, run by business men with nothing in view but profit. Something like this has happened to editors."
Where Students Go
On 14th St.
"The failure of commercial newspapers to give the public the pure truth is not due to the consciousness of newspaper men," said Mr. Ross. "Perhaps never in the history of the periodical press was the character of newspaper men as high as it is today. The trouble lies with the bondage of newspaper men with the advertising end of the business.
"The trouble has come from the conversion of newspaper publishing into a capitalistic business, instead of the practice of a profession and I am often surprised to learn how improve the moral qualifications of the individual newspaper man. A Fair Play bureau might help wronged individuals, but it could not prevent the consciousness newspaper makers from the news to suit its financial interests.
Public newspapers, or newspapers with endowed capital, like colleges and universities, to regulate morals of the commercial press, are proposed by E. A. Ross, head of the department of journalism at the University of Wisconsin, in an answer to a question asked by the Kansas university; the public utility address of the press, Mr. Ross' paper was read at the National newspaper Conference being held this week at the University.
"I applaud efforts to quicken professional spirit among newspaper men. But I think the main hope is to start a few newspapers, capitalanthiropanic or public—not intent toward it, the capital behind endowed libraries or state universities. A free few newspapers would exercise a vast wholesome regulative power upon the commercial and venal press."

Sixteen Are Entered For Big Evant On Spring Schedule
Repertoire
The qualifying round of the fifth annual handicap tournament of the Oread Golf Club, the big event on the spring schedule of the club, was completed Saturday. Twenty players entered in the qualifying round, and of this number the sixteen with the lowest net score are to play in the regular rounds of the tournament during the next two weeks until the winner is determined. To C. O. Anderson, a freshman engineer, went the honor of making the lowest actual score in the qualifying round. Anderson made the 18 holes in 84 strokes. Anderson is a scratch player in the tournament. H. W. Wilson, who has been playing golf but a short time, and who is almost as good on the links as on the gridiron, had the low pet score of 71. His gross score for the two rounds was 95.
The tournament committee, of which Prof. C. C. Crawford is chairman, drew the sixteen successful contestants by lot, in pairing them for the first round of the tournament. The matches, with the net score made by each player, are as follows: H. W. Wilson, 71 vs. Lambert, 78; E. M. Briggs, 87 vs. F. Briggs, 96; Lindley, 75 vs. Gray, 98; Altman, 85 vs. Wheaton, 85; Gibb, 85 vs. A. Sterling, 82; M. W. Sterling, 94 vs. Graber, 77; H. T. Jones, 85 vs. Patterson, 84; Anderson, 84 vs. Miller, 91.
Three days will be allowed for the playing off of each round, the first and second rounds this week and Monday of next week, and semi-finals and finals during the latter part of next week. Players must arrange the time of their matches mutually.
