NUMBER 76
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUAUY, 20, 1920.
New Chancellor is Chief Topic of the Topeka Conference
Sixteen Alumni Present
New Head Will Not Be Chosen From the Present Faculty
Who the new chancellor of the University is to be, was the chief topic of a conference at Topeka Monday between alumni of the University with Governor Henry J. Alam,纵队 at the state board of administration.
Sixteen alumni were present at the conference, and different questions of interest to the University were brought up, with particular emphasis being given to methods of improvement for the social life of the school.
A committee named by the Alumni Association to present to the board of administration possible suitable candidates for canceler, presented a list of fifteen candidates about half of this number were elated so that only a list of seven or eight was left for consideration.
The new Chancellor will not come from the faculty of the University though no one who attended the conference is at liberty to discuss the names that were considered. Some of the biggest educators in the country, including Dr. Henry J. Waters, former president of the State Agricultural College, are among those whose names were presented.
Particular care will be used to select an educator of the executive
type for the chancellor, who will make the University of greater value to the state. It is hoped to make the engineering and chemistry departments of service to the state just as the state agricultural college has been of service to the farmer and farming interests of the state.
Another list of possible candidates for the head of the school will be presented Tuesday, at a similar conference with the governor and board, by a committee of fifteen members of the University faculty. From the two lists the new chancellor will be chosen.
A report is to be made Tuesday on a canvas of the faculty preference for chancellor, which was made last week.
In the conference Monday it was brought out that there would be some changes in the faculty when the conference ended, and in the policies of the University.

Students Canned for Telling Naked Truth
Volume I, Number 1 of the Naked Truth, a magazine of opinion and scandal, from our sister-school up the Kaw arrived upon the Hill this week. Those who have perused the contents of the publication admit that all of their work is awarded all the gold medals now in circulation.
Students here who read the paper are astounded that such doings as are pictured in black and white in this publication are transpiring at Aggeville. The Schoen Owl in its early bloom blossoms days not as one of these.
The fact remains, however, that the two men who contributed this gem to literature are now hunting jobs out in the cold, cold world. After their publication had been placed on sale and forty of the copies disposed of, the authorities at the Argie College sized upon and stove the recruits to 400 copies the remainder is intended to instill truth into the hearts of the farmers. The perpetrators were figuratively kicked out of school.
And now the inquisitive, truth seeking body at Manhattan is passing along the forty copies to friends at $1 each.
