220th ANNIVERSARY
This issue of the Kanaan commemorates the 220th anniversary of the first newspaper ever published in the United States—an epoch making event in both the present day newspaper world and in the progress of the country at large.
The modern newspaper has grown in power and comprehensiveness far beyond the thoughts or expectations of the pioneer who got out his first Boston News-Letter. Newspapers have changed in character—they serve different needs—and are so far beyond the first paper in usefulness and scope that there is no comparison.
But these strides in the newspaper world are indicative of progress in other realms. Where you find business and prosperity you will find good newspapers. Where there are new developing industries you will find new, developing newspapers. Progress and the newspaper are inseparable.
Today the press is one of the most powerful influences in America. The trust which has been placed in these moulders of public opinion by the public, is a trust the value which the newspapers cannot over estimate. The journalists are honor bound to do what they know to be their duty—to give the public the unbiased truth, the best possible service, and to impart the greatest amount of confidence.
And if the newspapers of today are holding to the trust—the work of the founder of the little Boston sheet has been fruitful. May this birthday be a reawakening of the spirit and a replealing of the finest ideals of the American newspaper.
"BELIEVE IT OR NOT!"
Sotaphone says that a hope chest has its uses all right, but a dering gets quicker results.
The students who, last week, lacked the backbone and school spirit to miss a day at home in order to help make the Kansas Relays a success, will be the very ones, five or ten years from now, who will boast that they were at Kansas when the relays were first started.
They will help swell the ten and fifteen thousand crowds that will gather from all parts of the country to witness the great Kansas Relays. "Believe it or not."
The Kansas Relays were a great success in spite of these slackers. Records were set in twenty events. The relays are here to stay and will be a big drawing card for athletes the country over. The relays will be a great Kansas University institution.
And the shackers will wank in the 'light of reflected glory ten years from now. "Believe it or not!"

HONOR
"You are on your honor at K. U." was on all the literature sent to us as prospective students and the statement is continually being presented by various means, yet isn't it a bit exaggerated?
Perhaps the registrar perforated the blue slip on which our grades were written for prevention against weathering. Maybe he did it as a means of denoting its authority. The impression received by the student that those who sent out the grades feared to trust the student.
Should honesty on the part of the student necessitate so much awakening?
Before every quiz the instructor gently reminds the class to close all books and to lay the notes aside.
Yes, we are on our honor at K. U., but it is a restricted variety, but a kind that is more effective and more satisfactory than any other yet devised. It is a hard problem to solve. Has anyone a solution?
Another student dilemma—our professors want us to settle down, and our creditors want us to settle up.
ELECTIONS
Elections at the University of Kansas are supposed to be carried on according to the laws of Kansas. This law states that there shall be one booth for every sixty persons. It also states that if over two hundred persons at one place are voting for governor there shall be a double election board. The president of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association are to the University what the governor is to the state.
At the election held recently there was but a single election board in the central Administration building, where over seven hundred people voted. Some students were forced to wait over half an hour to vote. Others became discouraged and left.
There were only two booths in central Administration, making one booth for about 110 people. In all of the women's elections there were no booths at all. Other infringements of the law were hinted at.
If we are to have elections efficiently conducted, the letter of the law should e observed.

On Other Hills
The oldest gridiron in America is to be put in use after a century of idleness. Rutger University is going to make an athletic field on the site where Princeton and Rutgers played the first football game in America, on Nov. 9, 1858 at N.Y.C., in New York. N.J., an old weatherboard table, hard legible, is all that commemorates the advent of football in America.
Each year the best all around athlete at the University of Texas is awarded the Norris athletic trophy. The trophy is given by the Norris Cactus Company. The athlete is so selected by a popular vote of the dent body.
At the Centennial celebration at the University of Indiana on May 7, the students of the university will present, "The Spirit of Indiana," in poster form. It will be presented at the large campus amphitheatre.
A new dormitory, costing $100,000 will be built at. Stephens College, Columbia, Mo. The dormitory will house 150 students.
The board of supervision, of student activities of Northwestern University passed a rule to regulate the use of cars by students on the camps. A penalty will be imposed on all violators.
The Meiji University baseball team from Japan is making a 15 day tour of the Pacific coast, playing college nines there. If they have to play in Hawaii or the coast and play some of the best teams of the East and Middle West.
Students of Bryn Mawr, Dartmouth, Yale, Swarthmore and Northwestern will co-operate this summer in maintaining an intercultural camp at woodstock, New York, from July 1 to Sept. 17. The camp is to be made up of students of these three groups and a committee of the National Students Forum.
The camp is open to students from any college. The purpose of the camp is to give the students a chance to meet some of the leaders of American thought through lectures and free comradeship in the open.
The women orators of the state will meet in an intercollegiate oratorical contest at Sterling College Thursday night. Seven colleges are represented. Fairmount, Friends, North State Agricultural College, Kansas State Teacher's College of Emporia, and the College of Emporia.
Life at Columbia University is to be portrayed soon in a five-real-motion picture. When completed this activity, you will have a phase of activity on the campus.
Several faculty members of Ohio State University agree with Dr. J. B. Pictto, head of the department of social economies at the University of California, who thinks every girl should work part of her way through college, taking five years for her course with fewer hours each year.
