Plan to Reorganize Kansan Board as Governing Body
Will Permit Students No Members of Board to Make Editorial
Staff
FOUR PAGES
Students who are not members of the Knox school may be allowed to attend a brief editorial of the University Daily Kansan, if the proposed plan or request is approved by the board at its meeting called for the purpose of considering this plan on Wednesday.
If such a plan is adopted the number of members of the Kansen board must become a governing body rather than a group from which the editorial staff or other members are appointed.
To Increase Terms of Office
Included in the proposed organization is the term of office for the two most important editors, the editor-in-chief and the associate, be increased to a semester instead of only a month, as has previously been done. The advertising manager will continue as at present one half-semester, but as at present two assistants for one month, thus retaining the training value of service on the Kaunas staff for students interested.
The Kansas staff is divided into three parts, the editorial department, the business department and the news department. The first is headed by the chief executive of the board at the last regular meeting of the semester to serve during the encing semester. He has the power to appoint, subject to the approval of the Board, two associate editors and three more than three special editorial writers.
The news department is headed by the managing editor, who receives his office in like manner, and has the responsibility for formation by the board, a news editor, campus editor, and a Sunday editor. Each of these is to serve for a period of time.
An advertising manager, chosen by the business staff nominating an employment. He is assisted by two assistants and may have other opportunities as may be necessary at any time by the advertising manager and the business ad

Vonezuelan Earthouake at Sea Destroys Town
Washington, Jan. 21. —The earthquake which destroyed the town of Cauca in Venezuela on Thursday, Feb. 16, caused an ocean, near the island of Trinidad, southernmost of the West Indies. The earthquake meant seismograph stations gathered by Science Service, and studied by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
Earthquake experts of the Coast Survey estimate that the center was west of the quake, at degrees west longitude, a point in the ocean between the Venezuelan coast and Trinidad. The 6-mile-long seismological Association, at St. Louis, lobeted it at 12% degrees north and 8% degrees west. To estimate the distance to the actual center was some place between these two positions. The time of the quake was 6:45 a.m. *M. Eastern
Only Three Cases Held for Further Meningitis Tests
Every Precaution Is Taken to Determine Victims; Two Positive Cases
Are Left
Only three of the thirteen students who were held for culture tests, made for spinal meningitis, are still in quarantine at the Student Hospital.
"The method of tracing down mengetis carriers as followed by Doctor Berthelsen the bacteriology department leaves," said Messner, a grumess work," said Dr. R. L. Canutson, director of the student hospital. Doctor Canutcon made formal re-
"From 140 students who had been in contact with the case of meningitis, cultures were taken from the naso-cheek for two brief periods served for 24 hours for suspicious colonies of the bacteria which cause meningitis. The bacterium cases were suspirotes after the 13 cases were isolated as completely as possible in the student hospital and the rooms until further examination. Of the 13 cases two were definitely positive carriers; three were negative; eight were negative. Three of the eight cases since they had not been in contact with the other cases. The remaining five were isolated in one group, the two positive cases and the two negative cases in a third group. The 10 cases thus isolated were given drastic treatment of the nose and throat in an effort to destroy all of them and be guaranteed at the end of another 24 hours.
"It was then found that the meningiococcus, which causes meningitis, was not present in the threats of the first case, but previously found positive, nor in the third cases, as an active, and was only suspicious in one of the three cases regarded as suspicious after the first culture. The second case was also a two successive cases were then held for a third culture, since the state law requires two successive negative cultures from a carrier before release from quarantine, and maintaining negative cases were released.
"While the 140 students examined are safe from the standpoint of transmission of the infection, it is obvious that none of them were in contact with the campus who were in contact with the original case and who have not reported for culture. Presence of a student in a classroom with a case of dysenteria does not necessarily mean contact.
"Doctor Down's work required al-most continuous study of the cultures. There are no short cuts to an accurate elimination of carriers."
