H.J.Haskell Gives First Lecture on Choice of Career
Journalism Qualifications
Are Curiosity for Life
and Zest for
Writing
An insatiable curiosity to discern life and a flare for writing are the qualifications of those most successful journalists. Mr. Haskell, head of the editorial staff of the Kansas City Star, Mr. Haskell lectured on "Gathering and Interpreting the News," last night in the auditorium of central Administration University. The human spectacle but they are not expressive. Others have talent for writing but their inability to discern life gives their work a touch of insincerity. A combination of these qualities makes him a well-quoted he said, "The curiosity of the journalist was particularly true of Lord Northcliff, who visited Kansas City five years ago. I talked to him about an hour." Haskell said, "He of the climate, the industries, the politics and the people of Kansas City.
Newspaper Men Are Curious
“W. R. Nelson was always curious.
He was interested in everything,
the culinary department of his home, the
business, and the colonial history of New England.
Nelson even interviewed the grocery
loafers when he toured the country.
“The interest of the journalist,
however, is the interest of the out-
sider. He cannot become imbed with
the spirit of religion, philosophy, poli-
tics or industry for in this capacity he
becomes a reformer. The journalist is
a commentator and a critic,” he said.
Work Is Not All Romance
"Layman are often inclined to regard the profession solely as a romantic one," he said. He pointed out that journalism does have a romance with business, and monotonic work to be done. For example there are murder trials and divorce cases to be reported and no crimes to be shady careers to be interviewed.
Newspaper Is Democratic
Mr. Haskell explained also that the journalist has many rewards. The author came to the contact with passing events. In political meetings and councils he sees history in the making. He is in an audience summarize the human spectacle.
Newspaper Is Democratic
The newspaper, said Haskell, is an experiment in democracy. From English ideals but between the life of England and America there is a great gulf. The Tennessee incident could never have occurred under the English clergy. The first function of the newspaper then is to educate and enlighten common reader, the average citizen.
This lecture is the first of the series of "Tuesday evening eight o'clock" on the subject of "Choosing a Life Work." This series is under the auspices of the University committee on vocations held by Dean Dyer.

He also painted solen on the new Jewel organ in the New York Wanamaker auditorium and was decorated by King Albert of Belgium in recognition of his musical contributions to the music of Belgian music in America." concluded Dean Swartbush.

Committee Gives Out 150 Permits to Campus Drivers
Chancellor Lindley Makes Statement Concerning Traffic Rules on Hill
Since the announcement a short time ago of the regulations restricting the use of automobiles on Mount Rainier, the state received approximately two hundred and fifty applications for permits to drive cars on the Hill during the reopening of the park, and applications have been granted. According to the present plan the regulations will go into effect Tuesday, June 10th, in University after the Easter easter.
Following is a statement made by Chancellor E. H. Bollway, concerning the automobile regulations and the reasons for which they were passed.
Chancellor Makes Statement
"Many universities, including some of the most prominent of the Missouri valley and the East, have found it necessary to place some restrictions upon the use of automobiles. Princeton recently forbade its students the possession of automobiles. Other universities did the matter as a traffic problem."
"It is from this latter point of view that the University of Kansas has escaped from serious injury have occurred within the last two years. The Kansan the student councils, and the teachers have insisted that a solution be found.
"The regulations recently announced provide that the main street of the campus shall be kept free from Thirteenth street to Michigan avenue and parking be permitted on the side streets of the campus only to cars entering K. It allows that regulations go into effect April 6. A competent traffic officer will help at least during the early weeks of the new plans.
Co-operation Is Asked
"The licensing committee has considered about two hundred and fifty aquifers, and decided to mediate half of them. The chief considerations in granting licenses have been ill-hospital, great distance from the nearest city, and downtown occupations. No distinction has been made between students and faculty members except on the basis of genuine need for the use of the
"While this action has the full approval of the Men's Student Council, it is essentially a campus traffic regulation department and its responsibility of the University administration. Both of the student councils may co-operate in its enforcement with reference to students. In the case of an emergency will be in the Chancellor's office."
"There may have been mistakes in the granting of licenses—there will be misunderstandings and irritation when the administrator the regulations. In view of the serious issues involved we ask for the co-operation of both students and faculty members throughout it to ensure a patientence during the first few days."

Snow Blocks Highways
Worst Storm in Years Causes Twelve Deaths
Kansas City, March 31.-Relieved winter storms have driven spring out of most of North America east of the Rocky mountains. The worst storm this time of year for sixty seasons occurred in April to the Gulf of Mexico Monday night.
Reports show that eastern Canada, the entire Atlantic seaboard, the Middle West and Southwest were all equally affected. Twelve deaths have been reported, four yesterday and eight today, attributed to the storm.
The snow, which started falling here Monday noon, continued until early this morning, when about twelve inches had fallen. Transportation over the Middle West is at a standstill of the drifting over roads and railways.
Along the Victory highway the snow has drifted until transportation is impossible. It has been reported that a three-mile drive were called in snow drifts around Junction City last night. The roads are impassable from Topeka to Kansas City and probably will remain so for a short time. However with the aid of snow plows and road crews, traffic on the state side In the southern part of the state conditions are on a par with the rest of the state. At Emporia six inches of snow has fallen causing the work at the oil fields to be at a standstill. Newton reports that roads in that vicinity have been closed in transportation along them is impossible. Joplin received a cold rain along with a light snow last night.
Pity the hard tool of the students of Lehden Stanford university. During the last five years the scholastic requirements there have been raised about fifty per cent, according to the authorities of that institution.
