Former Student Talks To Newspaper Class
Miss Mitchell Now Washington Correspondent for New York Tribue
"Washington is the place where one must be expert in some line," said Miss Hannah Mitchell, in talking to the advanced news writing class today. Miss Mitchell, former student in the University is now Washington correspondent for the New York Tribune. She is the only woman correspondent in Washington for a metropolitan newspaper. Now that the war is over she will write principally of women in reconstruction work.
"The people want to know what is being thought in Washington, and so the news is somewhat interpretive," continued Miss Mitchell. "The experienced correspondent is so familiar with the whole situation that he can write a good story from only a tip. A correspondent is absolutely dependent on every other newspaper person in town for no one can get all the news in Washoe. So the corrector exchanges stories and help each other and wow to the one who holds out on a story he has agreed to share. The exchange is really a matter of self-preservation and is more selfish than holding on a story to get a scoop on a small paper."
"In Washington the newspaper people rank right next to senators and representatives," said Miss Mitchell, "and some people even give the correspondents higher rank in society.
According to Miss Mitchell there is not much chance for getting a scoop in Washington for when an interview is granted all reporters are present and each gets the same story and then, trys to get a different angle on it for his namer:
Miss Mischell thinks the work done by beginners on small papers is invaluable and advises every person aspiring to newspaper work to first do their preliminary work on some small paper.

Pete Gross is Expected To Be Boxing Instructor
Hamilton
Pete Gross, a welterweight boxer, and champion in his class at Camp Dewey, who was at the University of Kansas last quarter as a member of the naval unit, will probably act as instructor for the boxers of the University, according to W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics. Gross is now in Kansas City, and has boxed with the Kansas City Athletic Club.
Fifty pairs of boxing mats are on
the floor and will be used by the de-
partment's staff.
Boxing is fast coming to the front as a college sport and is an exercise that builds up the mind and body," said Coach Hamilton. "It is a good thing to know for personal defense. Gross will work with the men as they learn the rudiments of the sport in bouts among themselves.
"I have been trying for some time to get some classy boxer to work with the boxing class at K. U. and believe Pete Goss will fill the bill. He has been reading the government instruction book and with his natural ability should be able to give the men some good training"
