Your Daily Kansan Has Lived Quite A Lifetime In Its First 35 Years
BY CHARLES ROO5
(Daily Kansan Managing Editor)
The Daily Kansan is 35 years old today, and to those who say the Kansan's 35 years mean the student newspaper is only just out of its youth, the paper answers that those first years have been quite a lifetime. The Daily Kansan was born among an assortment of literary magazines
The Daily Kansas was born among an assortment of indi-
 and political sheets which argued, merged, divided, and merged again
Their Kansan merged with a literary paper, the Times, in 1891 and continued to lead a perilous life until 1904.
long, short, impecunious lives.
In 1889, the first University Kansan, a weekly, appeared timidly in the arena of book reviews and politics, looked around, and grabbed the ropes. Its student sponsors paid for publication out of their own pockets, and they published a paper when they could pay the printer.
In that year, Prof. E. M. Hopkins, KU.'s first journalism instructor, talked the students into turning the paper over to his newly formed journalism classes. Under Professor Hopkins and Leon N. Flint, who still is a KU. journalism professor, the paper was published twice a week, then became a tri-weekly in 1907.
In 1911, the School of Medicine moved out of the Shack (now frequently nicknamed the Journalism building), and the journalism department moved in, under the direction of Merle Thorpe, present editor of Nation's Business.
On Jan. 17, 1912, the Kansan began its 35 years of daily publication. Louis LaCross was editor-in-chief, George Marsh was managing editor, and Clark Wallace was business manager. There were no women staff members and no society page.
World War I came along to surprise almost everyone. It brought wooden barracks to the campus and feminine control to the Kansan for the first time.
After the war, a drive for the first World War memorials—the stadium and Union building—began. Jimmy Green's statue was unveiled in 1924. Dr. F. C. Allen's basketball teams were the class of old Missouri Valley conference and the young Big Six.
When you cranked the telephone and asked the operator for "K.U. 25," you got the Daily Kansan news room, same as in 1912 and 1947. Campus eating houses began to expand from hamburger stands to restaurant. A street car line along Mississippi] street provided transportation downtown.
Then K.U. was in the '40's and another world war. "Daily" publication came to mean four days a week. The difference between the money that came into the business office and the money that went out got pretty small. The paper companies that sold newsprint didn't have much.
Then Hitler bit the dust, accompanied by appropriate headlines. A few months later, the Summer Session Kansan made the first newspaper announcement to Lawrence of V-J Day, signal that the war was over. The men came back.
Sailors and soldiers marched up and down Jayhawk drive, but men were scarce around the Shack.
Now, after 18 months of peacetime publication, the Daily Kansan is in the strongest financial position of its 35 years. Its reporters provide full coverage of schools, departments, clubs, political parties, concerts, dances and athletics. Along the wires of the United Press come the latest bulletins of state, national, and world events.
The Kansan, a pioneer in college journalism groups, has recently joined the professional Inland Daily Press association, largest regional newspaper group in the U.S.
The Kansan looks with confidence toward the future when it will be-with no limit in sight—as part of gin a new growth—a new expansion the William Allen White School of Journalism.

"In view of general housing conditions and the low cost of living offered by the scholarship ($28 a month) it is surprising that more men have not applied," Mr. Tompkins added.
Only two men have applied for Batterey hall scholarships, Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, said today.
Two Apply For Hall Scholarship
At present there are no vacancies, but probably several will occur at the end of this semester or early in next semester. Mr. Tompkins said. The replacements will come from the waiting list of men who have already applied for the scholarship through the office of the dean of student affairs.
The Rev. Dr. Harold G. Barr of the School of Religion will be the speaker at the third Y.M.C.A. movie forum at 4 p.m. today. The movie "Here Is China" will be shown in the visual education projection room in the basement of Fraser hall.

House To Bring Up Resubmission Soon
Topeka (UP)—Kansas legislators, voicing approval of Gov. Frank Carlson's broad message, were expected to adjourn today for the rest of the week.
Observers believed that the struggle to resubmit the prohibitory amendment to popular vote—as Governor Carlson strongly recommended in accordance with the Republican platform plank — would open in the house. It is in the lower chamber that the administration's request is expected to find roughest going.
House Majority Leader Blake Williamson of Kansas City said the resubmission question would "undoubtedly" come up soon.
Owl Society Chooses 16 New Members

must register for the spring semester. Mr.Hitt said.
Students who are not required to register will enter the south door of the cast wing of Frank Strong hall according to the letter scheme in the schedule for payment of fees, Mr. Hitt said.
Students now on the campus who have been regularly enrolled in the University do not have to register but have to pay fees according to the registration schedule. Students will not be allowed to enroll until fees are paid.
Veterans who plan to have their fees paid by the veterans administration should make sure that their certificates of eligibility and entitlement are filed with the veterans training service, room 2, Frank Strong hall, before the opening of school, Mr. Hitt said.
Veterans entering school for the first time or those who have not been under the educational benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights will be required to register according to the schedule.
If veteran's certificate of entitlement was on file the fall semester, Mr. Hitt explained, he will follow the same procedure as other students and go through the registration line.
Mr. Hitt advised anyone who plans to transfer from one school of the University to another to contact the registration office before this semester ends. Arrangements will be made for the transfer which will prevent delay in registering and enrolling, he said.
Faculty Will Choose Typical Kansas Girl
A "typical Kansas girl" will be picked from five University candidates at the semi-formal Sunflower ball to be held tomorrow night in the Military Science building.
The candidates, picked today by a three-man faculty board, are Mary Lilly, Sidney Letson, Gwendolynne Jones, Barbara Lamoreaux, and Shirley French.
The queen of the ball will be chosen at the dance by a representative of Governor Carlson.
