UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Daily Kansan in 1913-14
Since the Daily Kansan depends upon the student body for its support the students have a right to know what the paper has accomplished, what it is trying to do, and how well it is filling its place in the University life. With this issue the Daily goes out of existence until September so today seems to be the proper time to publish some such statement.
CONTROL
CONTROL
The Daily Kansan is owned, managed, and controlled by the Daily Kansan Board and mistakes, inaccuracies or misstatements should be charged up to the students, not to any department or professor in the University.
UNIVERSITY
The department of journalism and the Kansan have a mutual agreement whereby students in the department are given work on the paper, whereas the instructors assign actual news gathering or editing as class work. This material is then turned over to the Kansan editors for use or rejection. Any student in the University may try out for membership on the Kansan staff at any time, whether he is enrolled in newspaper courses or not.
STUDENT OPINION
The columns of the Daily Kansan are always open for student opinion. No signed communication has been rejected during 1913-14 except two that were not printed at the time of the Council-Kansan quarrel because of the extreme bitterness toward members of the Council who were unfriendly to the Kansan.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Daily Kansan has never been out of debt since it was started in January, 1912. At the present time the condition is hopeful, however. The chief reason for a yearly deficit is the fact that approximately 300 free copies are sent out each day to the high school libraries, newspapers and Y. M. C. A's in Kansas. This year the Board of Education of the Kansan approves the daily expense of the Kansan varies from $25 to $40. The Kansan is printed by the department of journalism press and paid for like any other job.
THE NEWS
The backbooks of any newspaper is the news department. The Daily Kansas is the only paper published which handles K. U. news exclusively. Every day stories, announcements and features of interest to the students appear only in the Kansas. The most important "scoops" this year were the Hoyt troubles with the Kansas City police, the final results in student elections, the difficulties over Ross, the Nebraska negro, the exposure of the "New York" tango artists from Kansas City, the bulletin from Lincoln announcing the fact that the Missouri game would be kept on college grounds, and the exclusive story on the arrest of the Student Council.
The Daily Kansan follows the sport news carefully. A reporter was sent to Oklahoma with the football team and an extra was issued that evening containing complete returns. Other extras were the Nebraska souvenir edition, the moon paper announcing war openings in the school basket ball number, the Yellow Kansan, the "All-American" daily printed while the newspaper conferences was in session, and the Religious number
FREE WANT ADS
FREE WANT ADS
After an announcement to the effect that advertisements which would aid students to get work would be published free, several undergraduates obtained positions by using our columns.
STUDENT UNION
A considerable amount of the Daily Kansan's editorial energy this year has been expended for the Student Union. The Kansan suggested a temporary Union plan last spring, it boasted the Lee plan, and tried to assist the Council to push through the temporary scheme attempted last fall. This spring the Kansan was largely instrumental in getting the Council to take up the matter again and Duke Kennedy, chairman of the Council committee, has stated repeatedly that the Kansan was the largest single factor which made the temporary Union possible.
At the suggestion of the Kansan the Student Council appointed a permanent Union committee to pave the way for a permanent Union on the campus NEXT year. The new Council has already declared itself behind such a plan.
Consistent support of the Woman's building movement has followed the Men's Union policy.
BAND UNIFORMS
1914 JAYHAWKER
The first active campaign last fall was for band uniforms and the Daily Kansan was one of the leaders in the successful effort to obtain new suits.
Enough columns of exploratory and commendatory matter was printed in the paper last fall when the 1914 Jayhawker looked doubtful, to fill a small book. As an example of the Kansan's policy in this regard the news of Waddel's resignation from the editorship was not preprinted for three days until a new management plan could be presented to the board, to show that the book would appear notwithstanding an editor's resignation.
MEMORIALS
Largely through the institution of the Kansas Inter-Club Club Association was revived this year and a dozen banquets or other entertainments were held throughout Kansas during the Christmas holidays. The mill tax idea received substantial backing at these meetings.
The K. U. class memorial idea which was renewed in 1912 by the Daily Kanman will be crystallized into stone next Tuesday when the 1918 bench is dedicated. The junior and sophomore classes already have memorial funds in the treasury and a long line of class remembrances assemblies.
INTER COUNTY CLUB ASSOCIATION
BONDED PANTATORIUMS.
A first page editorial, followed by interviews, news stories and suggested methods of procedure caused the Student Council to bond the Lawrence pantatoriums. If the new Council follows up this work, K.U. students will never again lose money, patience, trousers and religion when a pantatortium owner decides to pack up his tent and silently move away.
LIGHT BY LIBRARY CUT-OFF
A vigorous campaign for a light by the dangerous steps at the foot of the library cut-off was stopped by the installation of banisters as a direct result of the agitation. At the same time banisters and a light were installed back of Green Wister TACKING NUSANCE
The success of the effort to abolish the poster tacking nuisance is well known. A subsequent attempt to procure bulletin boards for students on the approaches to Mount Oread was received favorably by the County Committee, which commits list the matter die PULMOTOR ACCESSIBILITY
The pulmotor was locked up one evening last winter when it was needed and editorials asking that the pulmotor be placed in a more accessible spot were printed. This end was accomplished quite later, when the machine had to stop at minimum steps. The house RASERBALL LEAGUE
More than five hundred men in the University were brought into competitive athletics this year by a revival of the plan which the Daily Kansas started last spring—a boarding house baseball league.
A BOARDING HOUSE BASEBALL LEAGUE
It is entirely probable that the increased interest in baseball at the University brought about by the boarding house league has had something to do with the improved standing of the University in the Missouri Valley baseball world for the past two years.

The cars are not so finely finished as the standard Pullmans—seats upholstered in rattan (which many prefer), and woodwork not so fancy; but you save money and sacrifice no essential comfort.
The cars have sixteen sections, wide steel vestibules, and smoking compartments. They are operated on three fast Santa Fe trains. Experienced porters are in attendance.
En route you can visit that world wonder, the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Ask the Santa Fe man for copies of illustrated booklets, "To California Over the Santa Fe Trail," and "Titan of Chasms — Grand Canyon."
