KU Executive Secretary Has An Interesting Post
How does one get to be executive secretary of a university the size of KU?
Raymond Nichols was called in 1929 in Kansas City, Kan., where he was playing handball. He was asked if he would like to talk over a position at the University.
At the time, Mr. Nichols was an editorial writer on The Kansas City Kansan. Preceding the call were several years of circumstances which seemed to point the way.
After receiving his A.B. degree in 1926, he displayed special ambition by taking a master's degree in 1928. Both degrees are in journalism.
The year Mr. Nichols was graduated, he worked that summer on The Council Grove Republican. In the fall, he worked six months on the weekly newspaper at Larned. The Tiller and Toiler, while the publisher was abroad. He then went to The Kansas City Kansan as a reporter and editorial writer.
During his student years at the University, certain activities pointed toward his present position. These activities were service as editor of the Jayhawker; president of the Kansan Board, the governing body of the University Daily Kansan; managing editor of The Daily Kansan, and president of the Student Council, which in those days was composed of men only.
Mr. Nichols' present duties include chairman of the Film Series Committee, chairman of the Convocations and Lectures Committee, and of the Publications and Printing Committee. He is chairman of the committee on preparation of the
When Mr. Nichols was graduated, he had been elected to Owl Society, Sachem, and Phi Beta Kappa. He received the honor man award at the honors convocation in 1928.

KU-OU Debate Ends In Draw
The University debate squad fought the University of Oklahoma to a draw Friday in an English-style debate on the topic: "Resolved, that this house deplores the lack of American genius," before a Bailey audience of 30.
Kansas, represented by Kenneth Irby, Fort Scott junior, and William Summers, Wichita sophomore, opposed Oklahoma debaters, Harold Messenger and Douglas Matthews in several "heated" rounds on the subject. In this type of debate, the audience decides the question.
Debate moderator, William Crews, Sherman. Tex., law student, said members of the audience decided the winners by moving from one side of the room to the other. "The trouble was that we could get no one to move. The audience was evenly divided from the beginning and, with the exception of one woman, would not move from the affirmative to the negative sections.

Large Crowd At Concert
A large and responsive audience enjoyed the melodious Mendelssohn's "Octet in E, Flat" and the sparkling Pergolesi's opera, "The Maid as Mistress," and also helped contribute to a scholarship fund for outstanding musicians when they attended the Pi Kappa Lambda biennial scholarship concert Friday night in Strong Auditorium.
The eight stringed instruments yielded mellow tones and lyrical harmony at the hands of the eight musicians who played them.
following the intermission, the opera, "The Maid as Mistress," was given a fresh and spontaneous interpretation by Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, Elizabeth Townsley, assistant professor of voice, and Charles Oldfather, associate professor of law.
The humorous and lifting score was well-received by the audience. Particularly applauded was the performance of Mr. Oldfather who played the part of a mute servant. In this role, Mr. Oldfather used only pantomime to express his emotions.

Harding, assistant director of the bureau of business research, left today for Tucson, Arizona, where he will represent the University at the annual meeting of the Associated University Bureaus of Business and Economics Research from October 24-26.
