FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905
The motto of the Kansan this year will be, the news, all the news, and the glory and honor of K. U. above all things.
It seems that we will have to send the Business Manager of the Kansan away on a vacation or the reporters will not have any space to fill.
The Kansan will be delivered twice a week by carrier. If there is one thing the present business manager intends to carry out it is to see that every man gets his paper on time.
There will be little if any change in the general policy of the Kansan. It might be said that we have learned some things and forgotten some things a tendency towards improvement, to say the least.
It is announced that many details of the athletic management formerly looked after by the athletic board will this year be entirely in the hands of the new manager. The board seems to have selected a man capable of assuming the new responsibilities.
We heard a man say the other day "well the Kansan ought to succeed this year." Yes, it ought to succeed and it will succeed. Typographically it will be faultless because the press and type are new and the foreman of the composing room is one of the best in Lawrence.
The news matter and news gathering will be better than ever before. The present members of the board showed last year that they were ready and willing to give a due amount of time to the Kansan and the experience they have had will prove valuable now.
The Kansan predicts that this year will see less friction between the football men and manager than for several years. The boys are easy to get along with when approached in the right way and Mr. Lansdon impresses you as a person who has the necessary tact to start things smoothly.
Yell as hard and long at the first game as we do at Kansas City Thanksgiving.
Go to every football game on McCook field.
LET'S
Organize a rooter's club.
Follow Uncle Jimmy's advice cut out some things and give more time and money to the support of the University teams.
Not have any cases, they do not promote University spirit.
Support the man not the faction.
Curb this tendency towards an exaggeration of the social side of University life.
The Kansan will be printed this year in the basement of Fraser hall on the new press of the Graduate Magazine. The news room will be adjacent to the press room. The editor or some members of the staff will be in at all times and any notices or items of interest can be handed in there or at the checkstand.
HINTS TO FRESHMEN.
Be sure to bring your diploma. If it is framed so much the better, the registrar appreciates the artistic.
Get your chapel tickets as soon as you matriculate—the best seats go early.
The gallery is reserved for freshmen but any caught whispering or giggling will be placed down in front with the "Laws."
If you intend to enroll in the Pharmacy school bring a package of Duke's Mixture along, if the law school bring two. It helps you with the upper classmen.
All freshmen "Civils" report on the fifth floor of Fraser hall as soon as convenient. It will help you to get straightened out.
Subscribe for the Kansan and rent a berth in the checkstand. The former is indispensable and Pooler and Donald need the money for the latter.
The Alumni Association has just received and installed its new printing press. The Graduate Magazine and the University paper will be printed now on the hill.

"LAWS" IN NEW QUARTERS.
Have the Best Finished Building on Campus.
The School of Law of the University of Kansas is now occupying its new building. The general dimensions of the building are 60 x 120 feet. The body of the building is of gray pressed brick. The design is a clean composition in the American renaissance. The central figure, which is also the main approach, is in the form of a portico, having fluted columns enriched with Ionic capitals. These, together with the columns, cornice, and other ornamental parts, are of gray terracotta. Entering the building through the front vestibule, which is marble paved, a few broad steps lead to the main floor, while on either side are ample stairways leading to the basement. The second floor is practically given over to the library and reading-room. Adjoining this room, and, in part, directly connected with it, are small study-rooms and private offices. The interior finish of the building above the basement is of quarter sawed oak with paneled wainscot in the halls and up the stairs. The cement walk is being extended to the Law building.
Have New Pianos.
Five new grand pianos have been placed in the Fine Arts Department of the University of Kansas. One of these, a full size concert grand is in Fraser Hall for use in concerts. The other four are in North College for use in teaching and recitals. They will add greatly to the effectiveness of the work this year. Music for two pianos, for two and four performers is a feature of the student recitals.
Some fifteen graduates of the University are in business in Muscogee I. T.
