UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
GIVES MOST NEWS FOR LEAST MONEY
Daily Kansan Subscription Price is Lower than Most College Papers
A comparison of the Daily Kansar with the other college papers in the United States shows that although it prints more news than any other journal, the average publication price is at the very lowest. No college daily in the United States is printed for less than two dollars a year and probably none of them offer to include a Summer Session edition with the regular subscription
We print below the subscription prices of all the college dailies that are listed in Ayer's Newspaper Directory:

This comparison may be a trifle misleading because it does not take into consideration the size of the papers. Of the dailies published in the Missouri Valley, as an example only the University Missouri appears on one page, and the amount of reading matter published. The Missouri, however, prints the news of Columbia, Missouri as well as all of the news of the campus.
WOULD START TRADITION
rus Clark, Editor of Jayhawker
Plans Formal Presentation of
Book to University
A formal presentation of the 1914 Jayhawker to the University may be made, if the plans of Rus Clark, editor, materialize. Clark's idea is to have one of the Monday classes dismissed for twenty minutes for the ceremonies, in which he stands a briefert, and with this end in view he is seeking the consent of the University Council to the class dismissal.
Prof. Raymond A. Schweigler, of the department of education, has resigned his position as pastor of the First Congregational Church at Ottawa, the resignation to take effect the first of June. Professor Schweigler finds with an increasing duties that the mission and identity of this church of various kinds that he will not have the time to devote to his Ottawa work.
In several other universities a similar plan is followed. Chancellor Strong is in favor of Clark's plan, and has consented to take part. If Clark fails to take part, the presentation dismissing a class, the presentation may be made between 9:50 and 10:00.

K. U. TO BE A SOCIAL MENTOR, SAYS BOARD
Students Should Learn Polite Conduct and Ease of Social Expression
FACULTY MUST LEAD WAY
Duty of Professors is to Instruct Students in Social Usage as Well as Book Lore
That the University of Kansas should teach a student more than moods, tenses, sines, cosines, valences, ions, major premises, and historical facts, is the idea of the Board of Administration, which in a report recently submitted to Governor Hodges declared for a training in the social usages, and self expression.
Better opportunities for acquaintance and social intercourse are demanded by the Board, and ability to communicate thought by public will and written will is sized in the future by the Board. Public speaking and applied English are the mediums through which the Board would work for improvement of the Kansas language as written and written by University students.
Know Thy Profs.
"West Pont has long been known, for its ability to make finished gentlemen as well as through scholars," says the report, "and we believe that one of the most important elements of our education is that they them a knowledge of social usages. We have urged that this education be not restricted to the few but open to all. We have asked the institution to furnish an opportunity for acquaintance and social intercourse in student bodies and faculties."
"There are persons who act as advisors in all the problems that come into the lives of the young men and women of the institutions, and to make opportunities for general meetings of the student body and the faculty."
Improve Kansas Language
"We feel that the decedence of literary and debating clubs is a serious loss to Kansas schools, and have endeavored to establish them in a manner that would meet present conditions.
"Plans are forming for all students to have an opportunity to participate in things which will qualify them to do public speaking in town meetings and other assemblages of which they find themselves a part. It is not justice to the state of Kanada that we should go out from institutions of higher education unable to express themselves.
The state has a right to have the benefit of the best thought of the young men and women who have had exceptional advantages given educational opportunities. We believe more opportunities should be given for practical training in the use of the English language, and have encouraged the establishment of applied English classes, journalistic English classes, even when devised to emphasize the fact that English is an implementation of everyday life."
The Daily Kansan Board elected the following new members last night: Chuck Patterson, Ames; Charles Miller, and Sam Ingalls; and Elmer Ardner.
