KANSAN PLANS.
(continued from page 1.)
(continued from page 1.) the candidate who has shown the greatest ability in the general field will be appointed assistant business manager, and after one year of service in this capacity he will become business manager, and will hold this position for one year, retiring before graduation.
All appointments to membership are to be made by majority vote of the board upon recommendation of the proper officers of the board; the business manager and his assistant to recommend the new assistant, and the editor-in-chief and his associate to recommend appointments to positions in the new department.
Resides the business manager and assistant business manager, the officers of the board will be an editor-in-chief and an associate editor or managing editor, both to be elected by the board from the junior class members upon recommendation of the preceding officers, and to hold office for one year. This election will take place in the latter part of each year, and at that time all senior members will retire from the board.
The editor-in-chief will be the chief and presiding officer of the board, having final control of both the news and the business departments. He will be responsible for the management and for the news and editorial policy of the paper, will write the leading editorials, and direct the editorial department.
The associate or manageing editor will have charge of the news department. He will assign duties to all news editors and reporters, and see that the news field is properly covered. He will supervise the makeup and printing of the paper, and when printed will turn it over to the business manager for distribution.
The business manager will look after subscriptions and advertisements, circulation and collections, with the aid of his assistant.
Individual editors may take charge of distinct departments of the paper, or of specified issues, as may be determined. The paper may be published once, twice, or three times a week, or every day. If a daily were published, each issue of the week might have a different editor. Any board member failing to serve for two weeks will thereby vacate his position.
The plan thus generally outlined will be presented in detail at the next meeting of the stockholders, to be held before the end of the present term. If then adopted, from one to two years will be necessary to get into full operation. During that time, the general principle of appointing to board positions only competitors and of electing to office only the most competent members of the board, may be applied under the general supervision of such a committee as that which presented the original report. When the plan is in complete operation no further supervision will be necessary.
For instance, at the end of the present term, all members of the present board who have actually served in their positions may be continued to the end of the year, and from their number may be elected an editor-in-chief and an associate to serve to the end of the year. All vacancies in the board may be filled by appointing from the present competitors those who have the best record as to quantity and quality of work printed. At the same time a new competition may be opened for all the board positions to be vacated at the end of the year by the retirement of seniors, and for such other vacancies as may arise. At the end of the year, new officers may be elected from the most active and efficient of the upper class members of the boaad, and these officers may remain in charge until the latter part of the year. By that time the third competition should have provided I the necessary material from all classes for a complete organization of the board according to the general plan suggested, and thereafter there should be very little difficulty, if any, in carrying out its provisions. Such difficulties as arise earlier may be dealt with as seems wisest at the time.
It is recommended that the subscription rate of the KANSAN be so fixed that with a reasonably large subscription list it will meet the actual cost of printing and distributing and make the paper entirely independent of advertising support.
The question has been asked whether the adoption of the proposed plan will not make it possible for some University interest to secure absolute control of the paper and thereafter to retain it by appointing only its own representatives to the board. The answer is that such control can be secured and held only by always winning out in the successive competitions, and that these can be decided only upon the character of the work done by the competitors. If fitness is the only test of membership in the board, it is a matter of indifference what University interest a member may represent outside of the board itself so it is claimed; and to win and hold a position on the board will be one of the highest of University honors.

Continued from page 1. graduate, and now a prosperous citizen of Newton, the singors were most pleasantly entertained on Monday afternoon January 2nd.
At Hutchinson, the next concert town, the opera house manager had chartered a street car for our use. Eight of the club went out to the State Reformatory where again the words "we're from K. U." established a firm footing with the officers. After dinner the club was asked to sing to the inmates.
At McPherson the banquet given there to the glee club all the K. U. spirit not previously given out was turned loose. A few of the club paid a visit to McPherson college.
The Salina Glee club entertained the club at its rooms, and afterwards at a banquet, one of the most enjoyable of the entire trip. From here the club concluded to go home and rest up for the coming school work, after a trip that would not have been missed by a single member, and hopes of a similar one next year.
