Press Club Gives Annual Feed for Budding Editors
High School Delegates From 62 Papers Gather at Banquet; Hopkins Is Honored
Although a spirit of superstition and a fear of ill-luck pursued the atmosphere at the seventh annual press club dinner given for visiting biologists, the uniqueness of the hour passed without the appearance of the traditional omens so characteristic of Friday the thirteenth. no obvious breaches of etiquet, broken mirrors, sult salt, or speculum talk marred the pleasure of the evening.
An abundance of appetishing food and a cleverly prepared program of entertainment succeeded in dispelling the foreboding gloom, and the spirit of fear never once gave way to the festive spirit of the occasion.
Two hundred and seventy journalists, comprising *zie* delegates to the convention, the members of the press club, and the faculty of the department filled the long tables in the University Commons. Music was furnished during the tournées by the Hell Bass orchestra at the feature orchestra at the leadership of Tommy Johnson, with members from the K. U. Serenaders.

Kansan History Given

"When the Kansa was first founded, it was issued by volunteers and was very irresponsible," he stated.

It has usually been held the day before the Missouri game and has grown in importance, amount and pleasure for students and instructors, but has also heightened enthusiasm for the game.
