S-s-s! 'Tis Our Own Publicity Blurb
Away down in the basement and around the corner from the campus, to so speak. it is room 10, Journalism building. It is rather hard to find if you are at the apartments of the building, which are, being put in the sequence one would follow to that sequestered chamber, the news sanctum of the Kansan, the composing room, the press room and the hall way to the left into room 10.
There all is cluttered and full of ancient things journalistic. Great slabs of plaster have sloughed off the walls and ceilings. The windows lack shadows If it is about 930 of a sunny morning the glaring light will be shimmering in to make the blinking students into a hallway into all sorts of grotesque grimares.
Yet the students crowd into the place. Yes, they continue to crowd into it; in fact, they swarm into it. so many of them gather into it that there were not enough seats for all of them, and foreign chairs had to be brought in by the students one stays until after the class has left room 10, he will see, not any uniform group of chairs like those which are usually found in a classroom, but—just chairs. There will be chairs with backs and chairs without backs); chairs with perfectly good posture; and chairs with legs by the latter, I have reference to legs that are quite wholly. Some of the chairs there have cracks in the bottom, and any one knows that they would be a very pinchy chairs. Some of them are of the regular classroom variety, but there is also a certain breed that we call "dolphin"; it's often at the corner of 27th and Strand. Some of the chairs there were perhaps modeled for camping trips.
out after all, each student finds some kind of a place on which to sit—yes, to sit and learn about Journalism, or perhaps they learn how to put out a newspaper.
