I iitijst 1 nn uity are leut to the Mhole affair by the altitudinous Bert W. Brintuall. lofty thinker, editorial writer, and advocate of elerie attire for newspaper men. lu the rear of the building is the Dominion of Kennedy, and Pa is believed to be a despot by some, a hard-shelled printer by others, but those who look beneath the printer ' s ink find a seventy-tAvo point, bold-face friend. A Shakespearian atmosphere, more- over, is even found in the back sanctum in the pres- ence of Harold Allen, author of the Junior Keview. a large part of the last Junior Girls vaudeville, who even sees poetry in the dusty cases, and seeks inspira- tion in the office stenographer. But Pa Kennedy carries a cane to and from his work, and this is considered an Achillean spot in the manly makeup. Prof. Eldie Troxell. late of the Iloosier state, has been instructor in the business end of the Jour- nalism Department for the last year, and is a firm l)eliever in the adage that it pays to advertise. Half-hidden behind a copse of straggly aklei-s. its yellow walls blending quite harmoniously with the foliage, and its sagging doors and slanting win- dows quite incongruous with the unbiased opinions, comment, and substance of thought within, and the whole affair seemingly kept from melting into a sticky ma :s and floating away by a staunch little white fence surrounding it which is partially con- cealed by shrubs and rank grass, the Daily build- f M B- - I iug stands as a relic of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacitic exposition, grows more mellow year by year, more softening in its beauty, and is hardly remembered without associating with it the memories of Thorp. Frank Kane. Lee A. White. Agnew, Pa Ken- nedy, and others who have worked and smiled and laughed witliin. Yet the building is loved by everyone who has had active interest in the University of Washington Daily, Tyee or Washingtouian. The place has been the working and lounging place of the cami)us scribes and poets, for its inundating floors, flaked ceilings. univehsity i QC r)D 7 ' ' -cnly-fivr

Kane s place has been filled by Colin V. Dyment, from Oregon, with his rubbers, his checkered waistcoat, his umbrella, his desire to walk the campus without a hat. and his antipathy toward tobacco — so unlike the others who were there before him. But he has already learned that the umbrella and the ndibiTs can even be of service while at work, for a driving Chinook is scarcely daunted by the walls and roof, and a pelting hail finds cracks and crannies in the windows. Vivacity and pathos, which go hand in hand in the makeup of a girl reporter, are found in the several, many girl reporters whose uames frequent the Daily staff.
