Visiting Reporters to Be Entertained by Journalistic Hopefuls

Representatives of the metropolitan press, now sojourning in Valparaiso as official scribes of the lurid Kirkland murder trial are to be guests of honor of the journalism students of Valparaiso University this evening.

The affair, in the form of a reception, will be held at the Woman’s Club, at 8 o’clock this evening. The Beta chapter of the Iota Sigma, national journalistic fraternity of the University, will be hosts.

Old-time reporters will meet the up-and-coming generation of writers and get an insight into the newspaper make-up of the future, while student journalists will gaze with awe upon the men and women behind the pen whose places they aspire to fill a few years hence.
