UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
K. U. Has Forty-two Organizations Besides Frats and Sororities
Nearly All of Them Have Some Special Educational Purpose
Have Membership Tryouts
Aside from the large number of fraternities and sororites at the University, which are organized for the most part on a social basis, there are at least forty-two clubs and organizations at K. U. for some special educational purpose.
Class Societies, Department Clubs and Church Clubs Found Among Students
Nearly every department in the University has from one to two such organizations. In addition there are many class societies, church clubs, and various other organizations which require a try-out for membership.
The purpose of these organizations varies from the idea of getting students interested in the same subject together for closer friendship to the development of talent along certain lines, such as the glee clubs.

IT'S the little things that count!
On the maiden voyage of the gigantic passenger ship, "Mauretania," a delay of forty-eight hours was caused by the inactivity of a small valve—less than half the size of a lead pencil.
We feel too that it is the little things that count in the production of the Daily Kansan,—every little detail, regardless of size, is given careful attention. Even the spelling of a person's name must be verified before it is allowed to be moulded into type for print.
