In the fall of 1911 Prof. Mercie Thorpe came to the University of Kansas to become the head of department of joint labor at. At this time the university application was issuing a tri-weekly on the press of the Alumni Association in the basement rooms of Fraser Hall. It was not long before Professor Thorpe moved to purchase the print and linotype and the association. These he turned into a type foundry to apply on the purchase payment of new printing material. The price paid for the cation was $20,000, but it cost the department only $9,000. The plant now has a battery of three linotypes and one
Psychologists say that there is a certain size of reading type that is best adapted to the eye. The Daily Kansan passed through various experimental stages in the sizes of type used. When the first issue came the news was set in ink, point type, leaded, i. c., spaced with a lead the thickened points, or one thirty-third of an inch. This size of reading type was a little larger than that used by the majority of newspaper publications.
cations.
Not the Daily changed again from ten point lead to ninite point with a "body" or base of ten points. This change greatly increased the number of words that could be crowded into one column. After a trial with this size the paper again changed its type—this time to eight point type on a nine point column, more commonly down than the printing office as "eight on nine". The editorials, however, are still set by the linetype in "eight on twelve."
With the beginning of the following year the Kansan turned to a daily publication, printing each school day. At first the Kansan delivered its readers only in newspapers. Today the ratio is reversed. Two-thirds of the paper is given over to news. This was done by a reduction in the size of type used.
"eight" who does the editor give his readers more news in the same space without greatly increasing his productive wage. The psychologist has pronounced the "eight on nine" as a most pleasing type for the average eye.
KANSAN PRICE AVERAGE
Daily's Subscription Rate Compares Favorably With Others
According to Ayer's official newspaper directory, the Kansan's rate of $3.00 for a year's subscription is not higher than the average over the country. The Daily California receives $7.75 per month in school months. The other range in prices follows: Stanford Palo Alto—$3.00, Yale Daily News—$4.00, Purdue Exponent—$3.00, Indiana Student—$2.50, Chicago Maroon—$3.00, Harvard Crimson—$3., Princetonian—$4.50, Nebraskan—$2.00, Michigan Daily—$3.00, Cornerstone—$3.50, Colorado Spectator—$3.50, Grand藐—$5.00, Washington Cardinal—$3.00, Pennsylvania—$3.50, Daily Illini—$2.00, Minnesota Daily—$2.50, Drake Delphic—$3.00 The Kansan is larger than most

John R. Mott, who has just returned from Europe, reports that 11,000 undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge alone are found in the 600 room of his university men in military service, while one half of the students in Canada are fighting.
In the Latin quarter of Paris, where Dr. Mott was accustomed to find 18,000 men students, he could find only four.

The Daily Nebraskan says:
"It was formerly thought that anyone could be a business man but thinkers are welcome to the fact that there is ninety per cent of the men who go into business is due mainly to the lack of knowledge of the fundamental principles of the science of business."
McGill University has lost so many students, due to the fact that they are serving in the armies in Europe that the authorities have decided to discontinue intercollegiate relations for the time being.

Kansan Stories Are Sent to Six Hundred State Editors by News Service
Relics of Indian Village Placed on Third Floor of Museum
The Kansan helps advertise the University in more ways than one. Besides appearing five times a week on the exchange desk of more than six hundred Kansas editors, and being sent to five hundred high schoolariaries, much of the news is in the stories as material for publicity stories out regularly from the office of Prof. Merle Thorpe, who is director of that work. This material is given free of charge to the editors of the daily papers four times a week, newspapers within its sent out to the weekly papers four times a month.
From suggestions received through the columns of the Kansan, students in the department work up special stories of general interest over the state and make further investigation of questions of wide importance, these stories going out as a valuable part of the University's advertising.
COLLECTION IS MOUNTED
The Hovey collection of Indian reli- les, which was donated to the University in 1914, at last is being mounted, labeled and put into large glass cases on the third floor of the Mu seum. The collection contains over a million examples, including every kind of weapon, tool, and house- bold utensil used by the Indians.
It is interesting that the collection was all found in one place in Kansas, near Whitechurch. "There must have been a large Indian village there," said Paleontology, "because it is unusual to find so many specimens in one place. Very likely too, it was a trading village, where the Indians from the north came down the Missouri river and settled on its tribes. Many of the stones used in the weapons are not indigenous to that country."
Favorable action on the request of the Montana state board of education that instruction in military science be allowed, and that instruction of Montana will undoubtedly be taken by the University States war department, according to word received from the U.S. Secretary of Defense Fred Schiebe, acting president of the University of Montana.
Students Will Probably Drill
The dean of men at the University of Illinois reports that more than 35 per cent of those registered earned a part or all of their expenses, while among the college year and excluding the summer months approximated $200,000.
You know the man with that snow-white hair, the man who dispenses the towels over in the Gym, the one who gives out a spotless, although sometimes non-holeproof, towel in return for a punch at your towl ticket. From morning until night, it is. He read to befriend the freshman, the sophomore, the junior, or the senior men, the professor.
In 1905 there was no Robinson Gymnasium—and in 1905 there was no "Dad" Root around K. U. "Dad" came when the gymnasium was built and has stayed with it ever since, from 1906 to 1915.
"Dad" came here just after the Robinson Gymnastium was finished and did his share in putting up the lockers and other fixtures of the building. Now he sits in that little room that looks so much like a cage and gives out towels, checks out basketball, footballs, soccer equipment, punching bags and other muscle-producers.
"Dad" Root needed no better inducement to come to K. U. than the fact that his son was to be a gymnasium instructor. Come to K. U., but "Dad" is still here—and probably will be for some time.
"Dad" seems to be as permanent at the University of Kansas as the building in which he is to be seen daily. From morning until night he has a smile and a cherry word for everyone.

Sophomore Class Will Toss Basketball With Kansas City School
Phone 212
The sophomore women and the Polytechnic women from Kansas City will play their opening basketball game here February 10. The gates will be open to women only, and an admission fee will be charged. A few practise games will be scheduled before the big stunt will be pulled off.
The game with Edwardsville, for last Friday, had to be postponed on account of an epidemic of the grip among the Edwardsville players. Practise continues with as much interest as ever.
The freshmen women are very anxious to arrange for some games, but as yet none have been scheduled. A match with the Bomber Springs high school team will miss Miss U. H., in a former student of the U. U., has charge of the basketball there. The sophomore women who play are: Ruth Endicott, Irene Then, Joyce, Brown, Katherine Reding, Dorothyucker, Tucker, Jerry Jones, Frieda Daua, Monona Wise, Rosaline Griffiths, Lucile Sterling, Myrtle Hge, and Luce Richards.
Darlene Woolsey, Margaret Naismith, Gladys Drake, Iril Nelson, Margaret Sowers, Grace Hoff, Genevieve West, Ruth Dunn理, Ethel Hills, Elizabeth Carnie, Lucy Healtman, Gilberta Swet, Ruth Farris and Zelda Pipes, make up the freshmen players.
