SUBSCRIBERS USED TO ELECT KANSAN EDITOR
That Plan and Others Has Been Used, Says Prof. E. M. Hopkins
In a recent editorial the Daily Kansan alluded to the plans of electing the editor of the paper used in previous years. A student handed in a communication asking information on the subject, so a reporter seated behind him received an email from Prof. E. M. Hopkins, who founded the department of journalism.
Q. —What can you say of the early history of the Kansan?
A. -I cannot make an accurate statement without taking much time to examine files and records. In general, the Kansan, or rather the student publications at the University, have passed away in the next stage the publication or publications was or were issued by anybody who had a certain amount of courage and backing, financial, political, or otherwise. In the second, it was published by a board elected at a general meeting of subscriber-stockholders, financial, political, or otherwise. In the third, it was published by a board chosen by a purely competitive system, under a plan modeled after

Q—Did the paper reflect student sentiment in any of these stages?
Easter Post Cards
A. —Very much, especially in stage two. Though, if I remember rightly, representation on the board was to a certain extent specifically apportioned among various University classes and organizations, there was still opportunity to pull wires for control, apparently for that fun apparently for anything to be gained by it; for many of those elected to the Kansan board never paid any attention to the matter afterward.
Q. —Did it get into politics?

and lay on some money too, on graduation from college. You'll get reward and you'll become a good position. But be careful with your money. Be sure to write for students to transfer best andest credit.
A. —Theoretically so, after the first stage, but not so in fact until the third stage; with difficulties remaining still to be overcome.
Q. —Why was the change to the present plan made?
You Can Earn a Good Living
A—The present plan has been modified several times and I am not familiar with all the details as at present administered, but its essential principle could be better for leadership and for promotion within the board was adopted because preceding plans had failed to give satisfaction and because this plan was in general use elsewhere, and was said to be uniformly successful. Largely instrumental in bringing it about were the men who in the preceding stage were by student election chosen to management the Kansan. Their fellow members of the board were usually indifferent and left their chief to get on as best he could. Few members of the board, if any, had any previous newspaper training. Under such conditions, the Kansan could not be a newspaper; its suitability likewise; and finally its own editors proposed the change, and for the three years necessary to make the transition they worked toward it, one after another.

Q—When was the change made?
A—Immediately after the founding of what is now the department of journalism, and with the aid of that department. Without some such aid the change was almost impracticable, for so completely had the student body lost interest in the Kansan and soanybody tookock for it, that any competition for places on the board was merely a joke. The department assumed no voice whatever in the management, but offered its services and assigned its students to duty under the direction of the Kansan and of the city papers also. When after several years the new plan was in full operation, it resulted as a matter of course that intending students for places on the board usually enrolled as journalism students, just as competitors for debating teams usually enroll in the department of public speaking.
fied under the new plan.
A. "That would list hard to say
B. the list would increase, and that encouraged the board to publish oftener till the paper became a daily. It was usually better written, better printed, and better balanced than it had been before."
C. the subject to political control except by such politicians as
Q. —Was everybody better satisfied under the new plan?
were willing to devote several years to proving themselves also competent newspaper men. To me personally all these things were a source of satisfaction. Even now, in those occasional moments when I am not quite sure that the Kansan has yet reached perfection, I have only to think of its earlier days to be greatly comforted.
Q—What do you think of the plan of electing the editor-in-chief by popular vote, the other members in the board to be chosen as at present?
A. —It seems to me that it would be attempting to apply two contradictory principles at the same time. Either the present or the former system may be followed with such modifications as seem advisable for greater efficiency; but I do not see that the two can be successfully combined.
(Professor Hopkins was acting director of the department of journalism from 1903 to 1905. During that time the reorganization of the Kansan was begun under the direction of Professor Wirt G. McCarty and Jesse R. Kayser; the last editors chosen by general election.)

The University seldom is regarded as a training school for women, yet it probably offers as many different preparations for women's vocations as any other school in the country. The degree offered has no less than eleven different kinds of business and profession for which women are being prepared.
First there are the 108 girls enrolled in the department of domestic science. And this department is growing yearly in a phenomenal manner. Then there is the School of Education. Practically every girl can attend, and the College or the School of Fine Arts will have taken work in the department of education, or else has her eye on a teacher's job somewhere.

The nursing profession attracts many girls. Four women were graduated from the University training school for nurses at Rosedale last year, and there is a larger class now. Allied to this profession is Scolar of Medicine when four women are taking the degree of graduate pharmacist.
WOMEN PREPARED AT K.U.FOR VOCATIONS
Kansas Girls Given Eleven Kinds of Business and Professional Training
This will be SOME Concept
In the extensive biological and chemical laboratories of the University, many women are preparing themselves for research work in the sciences. Some of them become expert analytical chemists.
The department of journalism enrolls thirty women, who are preparing for newspaper work. One girl is studying the mechanics of printing in the press room laboratories of the department of journalism.
One woman is taking a course in architectural engineering. There are at present no women in the School of Medicine, although several been graduated. Three are reading law. One of last year's graduates studied to be an expert taxidermist in the University Museum. Expert librarians are developed in Spooner Library every year.
And then there's the grand old profession of getting married. Statistics show that University of Kansas women marry later than girls who take no university course but on the other hand, the percentage of successful divorceless marriages among college women is very high something like 99 per cent. This is significant in the face of statistics showing that one marriage out of twelve in Kansas ends in divorce.
The Kansas City Grand Opera
The most brilliant operas and finest casts ever brought together in three performances are promised by the Chicago Grand Opera Company, which includes the Hall, Kansas City, Missouri, at prices that range from $1.00 to $5.00 a performance. The season will comprise at least one opera that is entirely new to the West, "Le Jongleur de Notre Dame" by Jules Massenet, and the incomparable Mary Garden is to sing and act the role of the boy Juglerg, who, lacking gifts of the young juglerg, makes up which his companions, the monks are distinguished, lays at the foot of the Virgin his little tricks of juglery—all he has to offer. The cast is a big one throughout, comprising Hector Duframe, Gustave Huberdeau, the three great artists, other great artists. Marcel Charlier will conduct this opera. The opera season will open with "The Juglerg" Saturday afternoon, April 11th, and on the same afternoon in the same bill will be given a dance drama by the big corps de ballet that plays Juglerg, Rosalie Galli, the young and beautiful Italian dancer as star of the ballet.
Saturday evening, April 1th, "Rigoleto," perhaps the most melodious opera ever written, will be sung for the express purpose of giving Titta Ruffo, the distinguished Italian baritone, a heavy role. Ruffo has for two seasons been the singer of America. He is to be one of the highest paid opera singers in the world, and certainly he is getting the lion's share of praise. Florence Macbeth is to be the Gilda of the cast, and her voice is said to be much like Patti's. Aristomedio Giorgini, a tenor new to America, is to sing the role of a rich voiced controllo, will be the Maddalena. Cleofonte Campani, chief conduct and musical manager of the Chicago Company, will personally conduct "Rigoleto." On Easter Sunday afternoon and evening—one performance-Richard Wagner's great sacred festival play, "Parsifal" will be given him, has it due. America this year because it is only now released from the handicap of the copyright which was ignored in the earlier productions, but which existed from the beginning. Formerly the seats for "Parsifal" were held at $2.00 and $3.00 more than for any other opera. Now they are the same price as the original version of "Parsifal" more festival than opera, beginning at 4:30 in the afternoon, adjourning from 6 to 8 o'clock, and resuming at 8 o'clock to close finally at 10:30. Minnie Saltzman-Stevens, a young dramatic soprano who achieved great fame in London, France, and Germany for her marvelously subtle interplay of the music of Kansas City. Otto Marak will sing in "Parsifal" and other notable artists in the cast are Hector Duframe, Allen Hickley and Clarence Whitehill.
Kansas City is preparing to entertain many visitors during the two days of opera, and already mail orders for season and single tickets are being received at Convention Hall. Mail orders should be addressed to the Kansas City Grand Opera Association, Convention Hall, Kansas City, Missouri—Adv.
