"HOW WHEELS GO ROUND"
Blanchard Will Talk on the Making of a Newspaper
Newspaper life has always been a favorite theme employed by novelists in their stories. Thackeryer, "Pendennis" is perhaps the most famous of these novels. An air of mystery seems to hover over a newspaper office. The editor is popularly conceded to be a man of unlimited intelligence and inventive little tin gold on wheels who goes everywhere, has free tickets to all shows, and is invited to all the big banquets.
Frank Leroy Blanchard, editor of the Editor and Publisher, of New York City, who has worked on New York papers for twenty years, will lecture on "The Making of a Metro Museum" at Phaedra Hall at 5.0clock this afternoon.
He will take the audience through the office of the New York Herald and tell just how a great daily is conducted. It is an address of thrill and excitement, with its lanten slides, Mr. Blanchard will show reproductions of the first newspapers printed in the United States, "Public Occurrences" in 1690, and the Boston News Letter" in 1704, and also the earliest newspaper ever published.
He tells the story of the New York World's great beat in 1893 when the Victoria accidently sank the Cameraman, and 400 officers and men lost their lives.
Mr. Blanchard has filled nearly every position in a newspaper office. He introduced Jay Gould and William H. Vanderbilt when they were the most important figures in the railroad world. When Vanderbilt died and Wall Street wanted to know Gould's opinion as to the effect it had on his business, Mr. Blanchard's interview with the latter was the only one given out by Mr. Gould and every newspaper in New York read it.
Students of the University will find
universally interesting material.
SPANISH STUDENTS PLEASE
LARGE AUDIENCE WITH PLAY
A large crowd attended the sixteenth annual Spanish play given by the romance language students under the direction of Prof. Mark Skidmore in Green Hall Saturday evening, and the real representatives of Spain who seemed greatly pleased with the way the play was handled.
The play, "La Muela del Juiciо" (The Wisdom Tooth), was an interesting comedy in one act which centered around the masquerading of an office-seeker as a dentist. By chance the government official that had to do with the appointments comes into the office, recognizes the office-seeker and gives him the desired position if he will successfully pull the tooth. After a great deal of fun the operation is successfully performed.
The cast was made up of: Ray Walters, J. Homer Horritt, Gerry Eroyd, Gladys Drake, Philip Levi, James Barker, Jeffrey Sullivan, Kelby Mathews and John Tucker.

No Editors on This Paper
Why is it that from the first inception of the University of Wisconsin time we have never had an editor to sojourn in our midst? Other professions have been well represented. Of preachers we have had enough to furnish subsistence to an African chief for a year; of doctors sufficient in number to depopulate a country, and of farmers to establish a good-sized colony in Hades. But editors—not one—Prison Mirror, Minnesota Penitentiary.

SPRING
Spring has come at last,
Now forget the sad old past
And enjoy the springtime air,
While the birds sing everywhere.
The wind is whistling through th
Something's growing everywhere. My! how the birds do sing On this happy day of spring.
Violet dot the roadside,
Dancing in the sun,
the sea orchard.
Where underneath we run.
Lilacs, whose colors are purple and
white,
Shining through the leaves so bright
Four-leaf clovers are plentiful now,
It's nearly time to follow the plow.
