UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The editor and manager of the University Daily Kanman held office for an entire year the first few years of its organization. They were elected by staff members as president, and when the department of journalism was established the Kanman board was organized. A constitution was adopted shortening the term of service for each staff position so that it was possible to have experience.
said member of the staff, down to the cub reporter, received a share in the monthly profits made by the University Daily Kansas and gave an elaborate plan for the division of profits—a scale was followed whereby the editor received about 2 per cent of the profits; the second, approximately. The cived about 25 per cent and the others which some months amounted to as much as 30 cents. In 1911 when the Kansas board voted to turn the Kansas over to the University as a laboratory for journalism students, the Board adopted an admissible seat in the case of the business manager and his assistants. At present these salaries have been eliminated and all work is done in integral work as in any other laboratory.
Politics in Saddle
The editor-in-chief now serves as chairman of the Kansan board. The reduction of board members to qualifications of those who became members. Formerly those who had done good work in their beginning in Kansan membership, at present
Campus politics were always present move or less in the early days of the paper, the dominant force. Frequently all but one or two of the 23 members of the Kaiser board would belong to one of the many groups of affairs was decoupling to the student who was fully qualified in every way, but belonged to the wrong political group.
In 1925 provision was made for the board to be elected by an appointment committee composed of six positions and by faculty members of the journalism department, three being an equal number of state senators and two members. This insured that the element of politics would not enter in, and that membership would be based instead on a plurality vote.
The editor-in-chief was the general head of the news and editorial staff. He had two assistants, one appointed by him for a four-week term and the other elected by the board. He was a news editor assisted by a campus editor, telegram operator, Sunday editor, alumni editor, exchange editor, and plain tales editor. Each of these officers were elected for one month only. However, the adventures were paid salaries, and held office for a semester.
Election of an advertising manager was left to the members of the advertising staff and faculty members teaching journalism courses. Course for the teacher was lengthened for the matter in an effort to place the responsibility more definitely in the hands of certain students. It was felt that before when the editors changed every month that the editor had the responsibility for what was published in the Kansas.
A reorganization was effected in the spring of 1929 by which the board membership was reduced to ten, and the board was reduced to five officers and managing editor, each to serve for a semester. These officers were to choose their assistants, the editor-in-chief having the editorial authority, and the acting as head of the news department.
Board Reduced to 10
the board consists largely of those students who have served in important staff positions, as well as those whose university qualifications is evidenced by their previous serving in these positions, rather than recognition of their probable ability to hold such positions.
Reporting, copy-reading, editorial writing and assisting of advertising are done by students taking news, editorial and advertising course. This is the principal staff members over cub reporters was designed to give students in journalism some idea of actual newspaper work as they will find it after they leave.

Are Ex-Officio Members
It is not required that a staff member of the Kansan be a member of the board before election or appointment, but the editor in-chief, managing editor must be a member of ex-choICE members if they have not previously been elected to the board. In order to enable a greater number of students to obtain permission to access the terms of office for the editor-in-chief and managing editor were changed to one-half semester in 1930,Keienon to the board at which time the responsibilities as it was before, except that the student members of the appointment committee consist of those who are serving, or who have served, as managing editor, and直属编辑 editor.

Alumni Equipment Used
The Khaman had begun as a weekly paper but at the time it was turned over to the department of journalism it had become a semi-weekly. Within a few months the university Daily Khaman published the newspaper and the paper was published every day.
Fred Edelworth, alumni secretary, entered the University in 1940 and in 1953 became a Journalism building he said that most of the rooms were used for physiology
Most of the equipment used in the publishing of the first Kansan had been collected by the company, Crown印房, now of the Endowment association, tells how the Alumni association started the Graduate Magazine, with Joe Murray, young and curious about the world-World, setting the type. Professor Templin would then take the form to the Journal office in his bungy and have it printed on paper, which he carried a bucle cylinder press.
Late in the fall of 1911 the University bought this press, along with a linoetype machine and a quaternion printer. This, however, was not enough to print a daily paper, so two lioetype machines, miscellaneous equipment and type for the printing of books were built. The equipment was all moved into the basement of the journalism building, which up to that time had been used as a laboratory for the physiology development.
"The basement," said Mr. Ellsworth, "van, an I remember, all cluttered up with boxes which had been printed in a printing press. Plaster was falling off of the ceiling and the dust had settled over everything. It was really quite a dirty place."

There is a very different appearance in the basement now. It has been cleaned and painted. The equipment has grown until the Kannan composing room has risen to 10 feet high. But, although it has served its purpose well, the old Journalism building seems to be getting too small. Prof. W. R. Harley of the department even went so far as to believe that it would keep the temperature in room 102 well regulated.
"I am sure we had just as much fun then publishing the Kansan as the journalism student and I did Murray, managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Linotype Machines Left
The Graduate Magazine and the Kansan used the same press. At first the paper was published in Journal-World, then a cylinder press was purchased and used also to print the Kansan. Type was used on four-page paper was printed, two pages at a time. A limotie machine was purchased and the press became the property of the department.
"Probably the only remaining equipment from that first print shop is one of the Inotype machines now in use at the Journalism building," said Mar-
ar. Murray recalled some of the difficulties experienced in the early days of the University newspaper. Electricity was used much more frequently, and it was customary to cut off the power at the University at 5 o'clock on Saturday evenings. So unless some arrangements were made the switch would be on. And frequently the operator carelessly pulled the switch and went on home, leaving the printers helpless until someone had found the operator and turned on the power
