HOMETOWN PAPER—Elmore Courvell, Concordia junior,
catches up on hometown news in the Concordia Blade-Empire.
Hometown Paper When You Want It
The homeschick freshman from Troy grins as he reads that his high school football team won its first game of the season.
The New York City junior gives a smile of recognition as she reads that "Pajama Game" is still playing at Radio City Music Hall
The special student from London is amused as the reads of Princess La Frensa, and the London Times Marygret's latest boyfriend.
They, and many other students, find familiar things as they read their hometown newspapers at the circulation desk in Wetton Library and the reading room in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
To keep these students well educated on the local, hometown, national and international news, the University makes available about 250 newspapers in these two places
250 Newspapers
Approximately 135 are gifts to the University from the small town editors. A special request from a student to his local publisher will usually bring a free subscription to the University.
The subscriptions are sometimes for a full year or they may be for only nine or ten months. This aids the library budget yet allows students to become acquainted with several newspapers. Recently the Washington Post gave the University a complimentary subscription for the files.
15 For Foreign Students
Most of the larger dailies come through subscriptions or as exchanges with the University Daily Kansan. County groups in the Statewide Activities Assn. sometimes purchase a local newspaper for the racks.
Making a special appeal to foreign students are about 15 foreign-language newspapers. The larger ones include the German papers, I.B.Z. and Der Tagerspiegel, the Russian publications, Izvestia and Pravada, the French Le Figare, the Argentine
The national scene is covered by the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, Denver Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Wall Street Journal.
With such an influx of newspapers into the University, most must be discarded when new issues are received, but some of the foreign papers are permanently retained and others are saved for one or two months.
The back issues of the Kansas City Star and Kansas City Times, Lawrence Journal-World, and New York Times are kept on microfilm to save space and provide easy access. The University Daily Kansan is also kept on microfilm.
Whether you are a student from Troy, Chicago, or London, the University will help you stay informed of the happenings both foreign and domestic.
Sitting in the empty Oread Room at 7:15 p.m., Farmer thought of the honor and prestige he would win when his coverage of the meeting was printed.
Bright-eyed and full of ambition, Daily Kansan cub reporter Bill Farmer, Atchison sophomore, rushed to cover his first news story, the Quill Club meeting Wednesday.
Bill Present, Quill Absent
At 8 p.m. Pat Duncan, Iola senior and the club's vice president, entered the still-empty room and told Farmer that the meeting would not be held.
Why not? An announcement of the meeting had not been printed.
So, the Quill Club had no meeting. The Daily Kansan had no story, and Farmer must remain bright-eyed and full of ambition a little longer.
(Editor's note: Doesn't the Quill Club secretary notify members of meetings?)
(Reporter's note: Evidently not.)
Soccer Becomes Official KU Sport With 4-Game Slate
Soccer will begin action this year as an official University sport with a 4-game schedule and plans for four more games.
Patricio Harrington, Lawrence sophomore and captain of the team sand that four games are planned with Park College, Parkville, Mo. and the University of Tulsa.
The International Club which has organized soccer teams in past years at its expense will have athletic equipment and travel funds provided by the University.
The schedule calls for two games with Tabor College, Hillsboro. One game will be played there Oct. 19 and here Nov. 9. Two games will be played with Wentworth Military Academy, one
One problem facing the team is the lack of a sponsor. It is required that a faculty sponsor travel with the team since it is a University sport.

Harrington will see Henry Shenk,

and recreation, and find out if freshmen will be allowed to play.

Marching Band Plans Game Trips
Tentative plans are being made for the 85 members of the KU marching band to travel to the Oklahoma and Nebraska football games, Professor Russell Wiley announced today.
There are about 120 students in the University band this year, 40 are women. The women do not march with the band but will join it during basketball season.
Prof. Waley said formations are being made to be used during the half-time ceremonies of the home football games.
The principal producing coal fields of Kansas are in the southeastern part of the state in Cherokee and Crawford counties.
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD UP OUR COMMUNITY
Ambition and initiative—priceless qualities, which we value highly at our community bank. Many of our substantial accounts have grown from modest beginnings. Our hats are off to the young people—and our latchstring is always out to them.
