L. N. Flint Speaks to Kansas Editors Press Association
"Newspaper Town Builde Not Merely Booster" Says University Professor
Ft. Scott, May 3.—"The newspaper is a town builder, not merely a town booster," said L. N. Flint, of the University department of journalism, speaking Saturday noon at a luncheon given for editors of the second and third congressional districts, on Thursday. "The news comes when he faces the duty of saying unpleasant things about his own town.
"The editor realizes the shortcomings of his town more keenly than anyone else, because one of his duties as town builder is the judicious advertising of his town to the outside world. The quickest way to get a realization of anything is to take it in. When the editor sees the imperfections he is ready to begin to fight for improvement.
Powell Another Spokesher "In the town," he says, "are revealed by applying such tests as the following ten tests of a town: attractiveness, healthfulness, education people, recreation, living, accessibility, business, employment, progress."
H. J. Powell of the Coffeeville Journal, who has just returned from the annual meeting of the Associated Press and of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association in New York, talked on co-operation between small city dailies and advertisers. He also discussed proposed changes in the postal rates and the value of "features" as circulation builders.

Kansas Tennis Team Meets With Success in Sooner Territory
Southern Trip Results in Clear Sweep for Jayhawker Courtsters
The Kansas tennis team returned Saturday morning from the first successful invasion of Sooner territory in the memory of the present generation of *students*. "Three matches, at Stilwater and Norman Park, followed by Knox resulted in a clean sweep for the Jawahler courtists.
The defeat handed the Soviets was the first they had suffered since 1920, when they were beaten by Washington University. Four of the five matches played on the concrete field resulted in the only defeat coming at the hands of John Harrington, Oklahoma certain, when he won from Captain Glaskin in a hard fought match, 5-0, 3-6, 3-8. The second match, match 7, ended with the match of the two days' play. The score was 6-4, 7-7, Kansas.
At Southwestern Friday, the Crismon and Blue players dropped the second match of the trip, Glaskin losing to the Moundbuilder cap 4-6, 4-6. Rogers had little trouble in the other single matches, turning in a 6-0, 6-2 victory. Kansas won the deciding match of the series when they finished on the long end and were tied for third. The courts at Winfield were not in the best of condition and the Kansas team was tired from a week of traveling and playing, and considered itself lucky to win the series.
Next week Oklahoma U. will bring a four-man team here for a series of seven matches, Tuesday and Wednesday. Six singles and one doubles match are scheduled. Kannas will probably use Gerald Smith in the doubles. On Friday southwestern teams from Texas and the Kansas team will go to Manhattan Saturday for a match with the Aries.
The result of this season's matches to date, are: K. U. 3, Missouri; O. K. U. 3, Illinois; O. K. Okla; O. K. U. 3, Oklahoma; O. K. Okla; A & M. 0, K. U. 2, Southwestern 1.

Meetings were held every Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m., at the Music Hall. On down, through the afternoon, the Young Men's Christian Association has grown. First it was developed as a purely Christian organization, then later it combined religious welfare with the material needs of the student. At the present time it is sitting on the board and housing of University men.
Oak from the old bridge across the Missouri river at Leavenworth is the wood used for the heavy doors of the cabin. It was made by the Goodjohn Sash & Door Company of Leavenworth. The junior member of the firm being a graduate of the University, the company has given great attention to the library.
Richard Hanson is the president for the year of 1925, and E. B. Shultz is the executive secretary.
Old Bridge Timbers Make Library Doors
One of the modern features of the library is the installation of a pneumatic tube system, by which cardinals move through the room during checking on the first floor.
The doors are handsome, of more than medium height, with a Gothic head. The dark wood, of early Encore, is the same color as the light brown knobs, and hinges.
Individual desks will be provided for the exclusive use of graduate students in the alcove off the second floor study hall. Small rooms are also furnished for holding discussion and study classes. The periodical room is likely to be the "social center" and is often used by faculty who have been built in the vestibule for the accommodation of waiting "stag" escorts.
Cleans Frogs and Whales
Size Means Nothing in Life of Osteologist
For instance, there is Joseph W. Scholick, the world's greatest osteologist. He has cleaned more animals in his 39 years at Smithsonian than any living man, and he knows more about bones than old "Doc" Reese, famous Youngstown, Ohio骨瑟etter.
Day after day he sits in the museum with sensitive dying fingers, rebuilding pollywogs and humming worms to whales. Size means nothing to him.
Washington, MPa — Behind the walls of the Smithsonian Institute, the government's museum of queen and precious things, are hidden the
Osteologists are now few and far between, Schollk says. There aren't more than twenty-five in the world, but he himself started in life as a tailor.
"Yes, I've worked on every animal from the largest to the smallest," he told the United Press. "I guess I have a brain in fish and fowl, and mammal."
"Young men don't care for this sort of thing now." Schollick concluded as he removed the last flesh from the last bone of a gila monster "And I don't know that I blame them."

Work has started on the painting of the huge water tower on Oread street. This is a city reserve tower for use in keeping the pressure uniform throughout the city. The work is being done by the Midwest Iron Painting and Construction Company of Oklahoma City, Okla.
The work is all done by air pressure machines. The coat that is now on the tower has to be removed before another coat can be put on. This coat runs through the tower run by compressed air, that revolves at the rate of 4,400 revolutions per minute. The paint is sprayed on with paint guns also run by compressed air. The tower was painted nine years ago by the same company, and estimated that it will take about five days to finish the work.
Coat of Paint on Water Tower Lasts Nine Year
Seats for the small auditorium on the third floor of the Administration building are being placed this week. They are enclosed in pebbled gray leather, with cherry stained wood and a large black metal side end. Three sections will reach across the hall, accommodating about three hundred people.
Student Body Arrives, 2300 Strong." Says K. U. Calendar Chronicling 1914 Year's Events
K. U. in 1914, while not exactly the same school, resembled considerably the K. U. of today, in many ways, one finds by comparing the two books. The 1924 volume, distributed last week, a downtown bookstore placed on sale Friday a number of 1914 Jayhawks priced at 25 cents each, and any who bought them spend an interest or two comparing the two books.
The 1914 Jayhawker was practically the same size as the one of today, bound in soft, black padded leather. On the front was printed "1914 Jayhawker," and the University seal. The volume was dedicated to George O. Foster, registrar, "an true friend of the students."
A view section in the front part reveals the fact that there have been only a few changes in the building. A couple of years ago, an institution building looks lonesome set off by itself, and of course the new library was not built. A picture of Snow hall, with Mississippi street in front of it, could also show that street had not yet been paved.
As is usually the case in old volumes, the seniors appear much older than do those of 1024. No colors are used on the covers, but pictures or set, or at all on the page.
Origin of Shingle Bob Discovered at Las
Attention girls! A brand new flapper will take her place on the Hill Monday. She will have the regulation short locks and the dashed heels that she wore in the flapper and she will greet her friends logaily, albeit somewhat stridently.
Marie, who is connected with the bacteriology department, has been in the University six years now. Her locks when shorn sell for a dollar and a half and they always find a ready market. It is rumored that she started the present fashion for the shinule hot!
It was Van, the animal man, who broke the news. "Marie has had he hair hobbed," he told a reporter.
"Who is Marie?" the reporter asked with interest.
Kansas Scientist Dead
"Marie? Why, Marie is the sheep and she's just had her annual spring hair cut." Van explained.
Ernest F. Nichols Was Famous for Research in Light
Another famous Kansan has been added to the list of honored dead, with the sudden demise on April 29 of Ernest Fox Nichols, president of Dartmouth College, a biologist, and former president of Dartmouth College. Professor Nicholas was born in Leavenworth, Kan, 55 years ago. He studied at Kansas State Agricultural College, Mahantas. Cambridge, and in Berlin.
Professor Nichols was one of the foremost scientists of America, his particular field of research being the study of light pressure. He showed that light exerts a definite pressure on the object which it strikes
The retiring officers are: president, Laura Crowdery; vice president, Caroline Harkerker; secretary, Jina Jansi; treasurer, Lola Robinette.
Dorothy Dillaway to Head Honorary News Society
Professor Nichol's death came suddenly while he was completing a demonstration of radio waves in the rotunda of the new building of the National Academy of Sciences at Washington. In his last paper he was engaged in closing the "mulsing link" between the longest of the heat waves and the shortest of the radio waves. The length of this part of the spectrum which runs from the gamma rays of radium, a hundred thousand times shorter than light waves, to the wireless waves, which are miles in length,
Installation of officers of Theta Sigma Phi, women's honorary and professional | journalistic sorority, was held Friday, May 2. Dorothy Dillaway, c'25, is president of the organization for the coming year. Ruth Hall, c'25, is secretary of A Farmum, c'25, is secretary; and Helm Scott, c'25, treasurer.
They appear on a background showing Fraser hall and Blake hall. There were 409 in the class of 1914 repented in the yearbook.
The Kansas football team of that year suffered more hard luck than ever has befallen any team since that time, it appears. The squad, coached by Leon Mosey, won five and lost three games, after having had five variety players put out of the game earlier. It was then that the Captain that year was Bill Wiedline, having been elected after Captain Bramwell left school.
The basketball team's season rivaled the record established by the 1024 champions. The teams of 1014 won six out of seventeen games. Their only defeat was administered by the Kansas Angels, who won 28 to 26. The team was tied with Oklahoma, and captured by Ralph Sproul.
The 1913 baseball team was also the winner of the valley pennant, and the track team established some fast records.
One of the most attractive features of the 1914 volume is the calendar of the year. It takes up the chronology of the year's activities on Sept. 15 with the statement, "Student body arrives, 2300 strong."
